UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING.
VOL. IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 2, 1885.
LOCAL.
The literary societies are booming.
Oread elects her December contestants to-day.
The number of the Courier P. O. box is as before, 251.
We suggest that the bogus edition establish a bogus post office for its benefit.
Subscribe for the COURIER, the only paper run in the interest of the students, and not for one Fraternity.
Since the faculty picnic Dr. Wilcox has had one of his fingers tied up. We had supposed that the faculty had arrived at years of discretion, so that life and limb would not be endangered at their picnics. But alas!
The Phi Psis will be pleased to know that Dr. D.C. Stockstill, the official physician of Haskell Institute, is an enthusiastic member of their number.
Last week Chancellor Lippincott married a couple of deaf mutes a few miles from town. The ceremony was conducted through the medium of an interpreter.
Again it is our pleasant duty to chronicle the marriage of a K. S. U. student. A Courier reporter saw Prescott's name on a license as one of the contracting parties. See John for further particulars.
Her soul is wrung with anguish,
SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.
And with grief her eyes o'erlow,
While in sorrow doth she languish
Neath the sad and cruel blow.
Dressed to kill, her way she wended Down the street, all hearts to wring, But alas! behind depended.
Just two yards of corset string.
—Exhume.
Last Thursday evening a reception was given our students in the Methodist church. Owing to the fact that it was not generally known, few students were present. Those who were there passed a pleasant evening in conversation, and made many new acquaintances.
The game of ball between the University and Railroad boys last Saturday, resulted in a score of 26 to 5, in favor of K. S. U.
The following was picked up in the corridors ;
"ANN ARBOR, 9, 23, '85.
"Dear Bro. G, W. H.; Ann Arbor is a large school. I am well pleased.
Have met a number of fraternity men, though strange as it may seem,
I have not seen a single Sigma Nu.
They treated me cordially, although many of them confess that they have never heard of our fraternity.
Have my eye on a number of suspicious-looking characters whom I think can be induced to don the seventeen-pointed, rotund cross of our beloved order. I have selected the literary society, which I intend to boss.
"Yours in Snett,
"P. R. B."
"ANN ARBOR, 9, 23,'85.
Prof. Nichols has recently obtained an edition of Lucan printed in Amsterdam in 1640. It is in good condition.
The city has commenced taking up all old sidewalks and putting down new ones in their place. This is a move in the right direction. It will save the boys a great deal of trouble about the last evening of this month, and will also make walking more pleasant.
Ada Richmond Opera Company at the opera houge Monday night; "Little's World," Wednesday night.
Read the Herald-Tribune's article on Capt. Shane's photograph gallery.
The Lawrence Business College as seen by THE COURRIER reporter this week portrayed on third page, is interesting reading.
We understand that the Pharmacy students have ordered plug hats to adorn their ugly visages. We are glad to see this new department show such class spirit.
Our readers will have to excuse the unusual rush of advertising in our columns this week. The business men of the city are bent upon giving us the "wherewith" to make The Courier boom for the year to come, and we cannot but accept most gratefully.
An interesting game of ball was played last Saturday between the K. S. U. nine and a picked town nine. But five innings were played when the score stood 25 to 6 in our favor. It is impossible to tell what the score would have been had the game been finished, but it might have reached the hundreds. Davis and Yoke played with their usual skill. Home runs were made by White and Little. The game although not very scientific as regards the score, demonstrated plainly enough that there is material sufficient in the University for an excellent nine.

EDITORIAL.
IT is with the keenest regret the COURIER has been compelled to take some of the rash measures with J. D. McLaren and W. L. Kerr, two of our fellow-students, that it has in the week past. To protect the COURIER and the public we have been compelled to take steps which otherwise would be unpardonable. Their own actions called it upon them. They participated in the meeting of Monday, the 21st instant, when the present staff of the COURIER was elected. If they were dissatisfied with its action and wanted an organ in the University, they were at liberty to start a third paper—of any nature they desired. Instead of this, they last week had reprinted all the advertisements of the COURIER, got out a few hundred copies of a sheet which they headed "The Courier," and had them scattered over the city and among students of the University. It was when they represented themselves to business men of the city, in attempting the contracting of advertising and collecting as "managers of the Courier," that we found ourselves obliged to advertise them. We are under great obligations to the daily city papers, Herald-Tribune, Gazette and Journal, after investigating the matter fully, to so come to our rescue, placing these young men in their proper light before the public.
Legal proceedings on so small piece of property as a college paper can be considered only to be deplored. From the business men of the city the boys are receiving no encouragement. They are paying for their journalistic luxury out of their own pockets. Their folks at home will probably care for them soon in this. Students of the University should pay only J. Sullivan or T. S. Fritz subscriptions. They getting no mail, all foreign subscriptions are safe. Postmaster Shannon refuses their papers to the mails at second-class rates. We hope ere another issue to announce the boys having come to their senses. The Courier in the year past has been too good a paper and has done too much good work for K. S. U. to be crippled or killed for personal aggrandization.
