It seems incredible that Harvard with all its boasted service and its long array of alumni, really furnishes but one Senator. Yale does some better, having three Senators to represent her, while Princeton and Hamilton have two each, and Bowdoin and Williams one each.
Pierson's Sons, with their usual energy, have completed arrangements to put in and operate an electric light plant, to supply the city with the candlescent lights.

Messrs Pierson had used these lights in their mill for some time, and the satisfaction which they give warrants them in forming the company for city lighting.
There will be an Oread-Orophilian debate in the Sophomore English class to-day. Oread will uphold Free Trade, while Orophilian will speak for Protection. Ackley, Doran and Reed will represent Orophilian, and Davis, Crowel and Smith the Oreads. This is a good idea and will be productive of much good.
Through the exertions of Misses Pratt and Ropes Oread had a very successful meeting last Friday. The following program was rendered: Declamations, Dum and Fritz; essay, L. A. Stebbins; reading, G. W. Harrington; oration, C. L. Smith; music, Music Pratt; debate, affirmative, Schall and Crane; negative, Jenks and Glimore. There is good material in Oread if it can only be brought out. Let everybody wake up and attend the meeting to-day.
There was a pleasant little party last Friday evening at Mr. Turner's. It was given by Jep Davis and Lillie Turner. The time was spent in dancing, card playing, games, and conversation. A fine lunch was served at eleven o'clock, after which the amusements were again resumed and continued until a late hour. Among those present we noticed Misses Leona Beard, Lillie Turner, Mamie Henshaw, Helen Weber, Lillie Freeman, Emma Blackington, and Messrs W. A. Jackson, G. A. Lewis, A. L. Burney, T. J. Hall, L. A. Gilbert and Jep Davis.
Mr. Jep Davis and W. A. Jackson, ever on the lookout for a good time, organized a "Eudora sleighing party" last Monday night. They secured a large wagon on runners, plenty of provisions, and about seven o'clock began to collect their passengers. The eight mile ride was enlivened by song, joke and story. When they arrived at Eudora a fire was kindled, and the oysters cooked, when they all enjoyed a supper fit for a king. They arrived in Lawrence at a late hour, each one rides the ride splendid. The party consisted of Misses Lena Beard, Mamie Henshaw, Lillie Freeman, Lillie Turner and Emma Blackinton; and Messrs A. L. Burney, G. A. Lewis, Jack Schall, L. A. Gilbert, W. A. Jackson and Jep Davis.

The Freshman class have decided to hold the party Feb. 12th. Wake up Sophis, and Juniors, you cannot do better than follow the example set by the innocent Freshies.
Hearing that the Freshmen are to have a class party, and having had great experience in that direction, we will undertake to run it on the cheapest and most stylish plan possible. Call or address FHRTZ & DUNN.
A large meeting of the musicians of Lawrence was held in the I. O. O. F. hall Monday night, for the purpose of reorganizing the Handel and Haydn Society. About sixty ladies and gentlemen were present, and many more have signified their intention of joining. K. S. U. came to the front as usual in the office getting line. The following officers were chosen and will without doubt be efficient and active:

Mr. Chew, Librarian.
The fourth lecture of the course was delivered in University hall by Lieut. Governor Riddle, last Tuesday evening. A good sized audience, that is good sized for a lecture, greeted the speaker. Many who attended expected to hear a witty discourse, but in this they were disappointed, as the lecture was wholly scientific, with the exception of occasional witty remarks. His lecture followed closely his subject, "In the Beginning" of man. He gave a short history of man in the ancient countries of Syria, Egypt, Persia and India. He spoke of the fact that the Chinese were an old nation 1500 years B. C. "They were some years older than party politics in this state, and might possibly be older than the quarrels between the fratrs and barbs in K. S. U." He gave several proofs that all mankind were descended from a common ancestry, one of which was, that several words, such as house and boat, are nearly the same in all of the ancient languages.
He proved from remains found in caves, in the sand along the Nile, and in the delta of the Mississippi, that man existed 7,000 years ago and might have existed 70,000. He pointed to the fact that some scientists use these data to prove that mankind is not descended from a common stock, while others, as Darwin, use them to prove that we are. He said that the matter was as yet unsettled. We could be sure that man had been on the earth many hundreds of years, but no further could we go. Neither view, he said, was in conflict with the bible. He closed by saying that the question was not one of vital importance, and that we could get along all right no matter which view we accepted.
The next lecture will be Feb. 2, by Bishop Ninde, of Topeka.
