10 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. W. W. Reno, 193, who is teaching at Minneapolis spent part of the vacation in Lawrence. Fred Oehler, who has been in the hospital at Kansas City for quite a while, is recovering slowly. Slaughter is the suggestive surname of a surgeon in Tonganoxie. It is to be hoped there is nothing in a name. Professor Cowan was seen playing "shinny' on the ice Wednesday evening. As is to be expected he is a good hand at it. The columns of last Saturday's State Journal contained a long article concerning Dr. Martin VanBuren Stevens. Arthur-Corbin,'94, who spent the holidays at home in Lawrence, returned last Saturday to Augusta, where he is teaching. Howard Peairs, a graduate of Law the School, is to be married to Miss Helen Webber of Lawrence on the 30th inst. It is reported that R. E. Kropf will be the winner in the local oratorical contest at Washburn, if present indications are any criterion. Miss Lydia Senn will not return until the second term. In the meantime she will act as private secretary and clerk for her father, in Topeka. Miss Gertrude Chapman, who entered the University in the fall of 193, but who was unable to return after the holidays. has just re-entered. Miss Ressa Kennard of Seneca has entered the School of Fine Arts since the holidays. She spent the fall term in a Conservatory at Lincoln, Neb. Prof. W. S. Franklin of Ames, Iowa, who formerly held a position in the Physics department in the University will be in the city this evening. Professor Sayre offers a course in domestic remedies and nursing This is something practical for the girls and doubtless there will be a large class. M. S. McCreight, Pharmacy 192, who graduated from Rush Medical College Chicago, last spring, was married to Miss Ida Engle of Lawrence last week. Professor Carruth completed his course of extension lectures on German literature last evening. The course has been a very profitable and interesting one. The foot ball team of Chicago University passed through Lawrence last Monday on their return from California. They reported a fine time and two games won out of four. The nineteenth annual meeting of the Kansas State Historical Society will be held in Topeka on next Tuesday evening. Several valuable addresses will be delivered. Chauncey Vaniman, '93, has a good position as assistant postmaster at McPherson. It may be news to some of his old acquaintances to here that he was married this fall. M. E. Hickey, who is teaching at Winfield, was married here last week to Miss Cones, an instructor at Haskell Institute. The STUDENTS JOURNAL extends congratulations. Geo. J. Graves was here a few days during the vacation. He has recently removed from Junction City and is now the proprietor of the North Topeka Carriage Works, Professor Blackmar returned last week from his trip east. The paper which he read at the meeting of the American Historical Association received very favorable notice Every stockholder should be present at the STUDENTS JOURNAL election on Tuesday. This will be a very important meeting. The stockholder who stays away will regret it. See the notice elsewhere. The latest deal made by Troxel-at least the latest that is reported, secured for him the mumps. However, it is not understood what he will gain by this move. That will doubtless be discovered later. There is a rumor afloat to the effect that E. C. Hickey is soon to resign his position as principal of the Dickinson County high school, at Chapman, to accept a more lucrative position, and that Messenger has applied for the principalship. From reports it would seem that Baker students, or some of them at least, are very forgetful. A senior, who attended the University for a while this fall, while spending his vacation in the northern part of Oswego County went hunting. While out, his supply of percussion caps was exhausted and he went to a farm-house where he procured more. He placed one on his gun, pulled the trigger, and let fire through the side of the house. He was very much surprised to find the gun loaded.
