A hastening rain-storm comes through wood and field.
Tis well to take our leave midst falling rain-drops.
A darkening sky above, before us a dark world.
But whether good or evil we must bear,
Thou lovely maid, I'll ever think of thee!
God keep thee safe! it would have been too fair.

God keep thee ever, it was not to be.
It seems that at Amherst College the athletic men do not wholly neglect general culture. Of the fifty five men selected as competitors for prizes in oratory and declamation seven are members of the ball team, including the captain and two pitchers; and the captain of the athletic team is also one of the speakers.
The Athletic Association was unable to sell tickets enough to warrant running an excursion to the Kansas Missouri game last Saturday. Base ball don't seem to be a drawing card at K. U. this year. Enthusiasm should be revived by some means or other.
Princeton was defeated by the University of Michigan 1st Friday by a score of 4 to 1.
The great K. U. Missouri game is over and K. U. has another victory to her credit. The game was called at Fairmount Park and was witnessed by about 500 people. The playing was rather slow and the audience did not show very much enthusiasm at any stage of the game. The Kansas City Times gives a full account of the slaughter:
"Sherrill, the Missouri cyclone, was as unrelieable as a March Wind. He had plenty of speed, but could not come near the plate, so Paderkessin Chamberlain waited down to first on four balls. At the first ball pitched he stole second, then Dug Gentry swung his red-tipped bat and e-caught the ball square on the trade-mark. It flew straight at Jacks, who caught it very nicely. Paddy had started for third when he heard the crack of the bat, and Jacks threw the ball to Penn Brace at second, completing a neat trick. But Sherrill caused their well to die away by sending Matteson to first on balls. He stole second, and the case with which he did scared Sherrill that he gave Alder a base on balls. Then he put whiskers on the next ball he pitched to Mitchell, and it went through Gentry. Matt and Alden followed a base. Mitchell followed the example of his predecessors on balls, then Johnson came to the bat. He stands like a batter and when the first ball flashed over the plate he showed that he did not all his night. It soared past Mahony and into the racing tr-ck, and before it was returned to the diamond three men had scored, and Johnson stood painting on third. Hoggy followed the second ball, then Johnson scored. Williamson got a base on balls, went to third on steinberg's hit which scored Hoggy, and scored on a passed ball. Total six runs. In their half of the inning Missouri scored none. Neither team scored in the second, but Kansas scored one in the third, on a base on balls to Johnson, his steal of second and Hoggy's second two-bagger. Both teams scored in the third, and the steinberg Gear had been put out by Newman, who made a fine catch on his line drive, Alden sacrificed him to third, and he scored on Hudson's fumble of Mitchell's easy ground.
Missouri scored one on Hodge's single, his steal of second and third and Zwick's out to centerfield. Kansas scored one more in the seventh on a base on balls to Steinberg, a steal and Chamberlin's single. Both teams scored in the eighth on three pitches, Aiden and Mitchell their balls. Johnson sent an easy one to Hodge and he threw wild to second, and three men scored. A wild throw by Zwick sent out two more men across the rubber and then Sherrill was called in from left field and he retired the side. Ed Lambert, whose judgment on balls and strikes had been a little shaky all through the game, gave Missouri three runs by some questionable decisions on balls and strikes. With one man out at home, Slicky Newmuth got on the ball and rubbing his rulers energetically won a base. Penn Brace took a brace and succeeded in making a single. By pretty fielding Johnson held Gentry on third. Then Sherrill sent a hot one at Mattheson, who gobbled it up in a great style and put it to the plate in plenty of time to put Gentry out. Hodge picked out a nice one and drove it to the left field fence for three bags sending three men across the plate. Jacks could do nothing, and the Missouri's only chance for getting into the game was in Kansas added bases in the middle. Jack's error gave Chamberlin a life and Gear got his base on a fielder's choice. Mattheson hit one out to center field, and Thompson threw Gear out at second. Chamberlin scored. Alden reached first on Mahoney's error, Mitchell got a base on balls and Johnson hit out a two bagger, which cleared the bases. The Missouri half of the ninth was brief and laddlingious, and the game, which
had lasted almost two hours and a half,
was over nt.last

The inter-collegiate athletic championship meeting to be held at Chicago to-morrow promises to be the most interesting meeting of the kind that has ever been held in the west. There will be eighteen colleges represented by more than 150 athletes. Over 350 entries have been made in the fourteen events. Chicago University will be represented by 25 men at least; Lake Forest will send twenty men; Northwestern, 15; University of Illinois, 20; Wisconsin, 25; Christian Brothers College of St. Louis, 10; Washington University, 12; Notre Dame, 10.

SNOW HALL.
Specimens of a bug from Lyon County which has been attacking the corn in that locality, have been sent to the entomology department. It is the first time the species was ever reported in Kansas, and little is known of its habits. Prof. Kellogg has gone down to Lyon County to make a study of it. The horn fly, which appeared in Kansas for the first time three years ago, is reported to be very anoying to the cattle this season, especially in the southern bart of the state.
Men who are starting county substations for chinch bug infection come to the University to study how to manage the infertion boxes. New ones visit us almost every day.
Professors Sayre and Kellogg are getting up a paper on the insects which attack drugs. A good collecting ground has been the pharmacy store rooms. All sorts of drugs there are found to be infected by insects.
O. P. Davis spent Saturday collecting botanical specimens in Shawnee county.
Mr. Carl, assistant in the entomological laboratory, visited friends in Kansas Cisy Wednesday.
Mr. Warren Krans, the well known entomologist from McPherson, was here last Saturday, making exchanges with the entomology department here.
Rev. Mr. Schanz, Lutheran missionary for Kansas, an enthusiastic student of botany, was here examining the botanical collection Monday.
Numerous complaints are coming in from farmers in southern Kansas of the corn bill bug, a large snouted beetle, which is doing great damage to corn, especially in the wet lands. This injurious insect was found in the state for the first time last year. Specimens sent to the entomology department prove it to be a new species of the bill bug.
Cut worms are more numerous this season than for many years. Specimens were collected from the alfalfa and wheat fields of the western part of the state by William Snow. Three specimens were placed in the breeding cages in the Natural History building. The young which have hatched have been carefully studied and seem to belong to a new species.

The members of the Sigma Xi honorary scientific fraternity were entertained last Friday evening by Prof. Marvin. Besides the new members, R. W. Carter, R. L. Hoff, B. H. Hill, L. A. Lowther, I. Rothrock, A. N. Topping and Prof. F. B. Dains, there were present Professors Miller, Kellogg, Haworth, Williston and Bailey. After refreshments had been disposed of, a number of talks from both old members and initiates were listened to, and the Scientific Department of the University generally discussed
The Sigma Xi.
Saturday Night's Contest.
The first annual contest between the University Debating Club and the Adelphic Literary Society took place in the chapel on Saturday night. The audience was small, but the program was good. The question for debate was: "Should the Government provide work for the unemployed?" The debaters, Messrs. Palmer and S. S. Brown from the Debating Club, on the affirmative and Messrs. Fair and H. C. Riggs, from the Adelphic, on the negative; were precise, emphatic and rational. Of the orations of Warren Baxter on the "Jury System," and E. S. Riggs on "The Independent in Politics," one of the professors remarked that they equalled or surpassed, the one for smoothness and grace of language in delivery, and the other for originality of thought and expression, anything which had been given in the university this year.
The Judges by two-thirds vote awarded first place to the debaters on the negative, and the oration to Baxter.
