THE CORRIDORS.
If you think that the Business College is not known outside of Lawrence and Douglas Co., read a few of the many unsolicited press notices attached hereto.
The classes in short-hand writing at the Business College were never larger than at the present time. Hours of instruction from 7 to 9, four evenings each week. Price per term of three months $15.00.
The Business College now occupies the entire third story of the National Bank building, and judging from the elegant new desks and furniture that has been lately purchased, the number of students (190) and the cheering reports, we have no hesitation in announcing through the columns of the Courier that the College is by far the best in the west. Messrs. Boor and McIlrvary are to be congratulated on the success they have attained in placing their institution in the front rank.

It is pretty definitely established that the destruction of Steinberg's sign was not the work of students, and there is a great deal of feeling over the arrest of two undoubtedly innocent men. The accused asked an immediate trial, but the defense said they were not ready and the trial was set for next Saturday. Although we believe the cutting of the sign was wrong, we do not think that innocent parties should be kept under suspicion, and put to trouble in the name of justice.
LATER.—Mr. Steinberg becoming satisfied of the innocence of the arrested parties, had the suit dismissed at his cost.
The reception tendered the active members of the I. C. Sorosis and their gentlemen friends, Friday, Oct. 26, by Misses Carlie Cockins and Maud Mansfield, at the residence of the former, was one of the most enjoyable events of the season. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the invited guests arrived at an early hour and soon were tripping the fleeting hours away to music furnished by Prof. Lehman. At 11 o'clock supper was announced, and twenty couples or more did it justice. And such a supper! We forbear; our pen cannot do it justice. The fact that it was under the supervision of the I. C.s speaks louder than words of our. After supper dancing was again resumed, and quickly sped the "wee sma' hours agant the twae." Conversation and gayety did not lag during the whole evening, for everybody knew everybody else, and this fact in addition to the exertions of the hostess, render this an impossibility. "Ye" chronicler left, feeling, with the others present, that the two young ladies "did it up" in fine style, and that we could stand it to be the lucky man at least once per week. BETA.
