Stylish Coats.
The styles of coats and capes have changed more this fall than ever before in one season. Coats that were in the height of fashion early in September are not considered just the thing to day. Many merchants make the mistake of buying large quantities of some particular style of a garment that stirkes them favorably for the moment and later on are very anxious to get rid of them at any price. The customer who buys of such a merchant is always the loser. A. D. Weaver makes it a point to buy what the people want and his trade on cloaks this year has been enormous. People like to trade at Weaver's on account of the exclusive styles shown and they know that what they buy, whether a cloak or a dress will not become common. Every express brings a few new garments to Weaver and there is no question but what he has the coat stock of the town.

From cold weather, inquire of local agent
Santa Fe relative to cheap rates for a winter tour to Texas. New Mexico or Old Mexico.
To follow the sunshine may prove cheaper than buying hard coal. It don't cost much to try.
EDITOR JOURNAL: -Permit me thus to give the following solemn admonition to the young women of the University who on going out, marry, settle in a University town, and take students to room.
Do not let your desire for order cause you to muddle with the student's room. No matter if you do find the floor seated over with shoes and cast-off trousers; no matter if the dressing case is hidden beneath the heap of collars, cuffs, and ties that has been accumulating for a week past; no matter if the dictionary stand is in the middle of the flooring; no matter if a grip is sitting beside it, half its contents piled out on the carpet. Leave everything as you find it, if you would not be responsible for the eternal destruction of a young man's soul; for if you give way to your feminine instinct to straighten up, it will take your roomer not less than a week to find where the things have been stowed away, and in that weck he will get the habit of profanity so firmly fixed upon him that he probably will never conquer it.
It is a melancholy fact, that you may work all day and have everything in such apple pie order that the room will be a very paradise of cleauliness, and yet not have a thing where it ought to be. You don't snow a thing about fixing a man's room, you haven't the least idea of how he likes to have his things arranged. What? It looks pittiful to see a man's room all to n up, and no one to keep it in order? Bless your dear hearts, ten to one he knows just where things are; and if he doesn't, he will take it kindlier of you if you let him put his own things into the order he wants them. He will be grateful for your good intention, but he will swear wildly about the arrangement.
But if on cannot refrain from "fixing up" his room, at least keep your hands off his table. He may stand your hanging over his dress suit a lot of heavy clothing. He may endure to have his dress shirts doubled three times across the bosom and stuffed into a drawer full of underclothing,—to have his collars and ties strung along the top of the dressing bureau,—to have his photographs and decorative knik knacks changed from the way he has arranged them, and rearranged in a way that would make a Choctaw Indian smile pitingly. He may put up with this and more, but when he finds his table "cleared off"—his books shut up and his references lost, his notes carefully mixed, his answered and his unanswered letters put together, his favorite picture turned away from the front of the table and set facing the stove,—then his long suffering spirit will rebel and there will be trouble. Whatever may be said in justification of interference with a student's room, interference with his table is little short of presumption, and if landlords will remember this, they will individually and as a class, be regarded much more kindly by their student roomers.
SUFFERER.
Why Henry Watterson Did Not Come
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Dec. 1, '93.
Mr O. Templin, Lawrence, Kas.
Dear Sir,—We have just returned from Mr. Watterson's residence and found him in bed. There is a prevailing rage of la gripe here and he is suffering from an attack. We wired you to this effect and will arrange to give you a date in January or February at same price. If this suit you, advise us and we will let you know when he can come.
Yours truly.
So. LYCEUM BUREAU.
ATHLETICS
Baker defeated Wesleyan last Saturday by a score of 44.0.
This year our team resembled that of Iowa too much to win a game.
The Topeka-Lawrence High School game was postponed on account of bad weather.
Croxton, who won the walking medal on the annual field day meet last year, will attend K. U. next term.
The football season is now over and the boys are not sorry. Although we did not get the pennant, we feel safe in saying that the boys are satisfied with their numerous broken noses and sprained limbs.
During the season just closed there occurred in England twenty-three deaths from injuries received while playing football, and three deaths from illness contracted on the football field. -The Nation, Nov. 30, 1893. In America the number actually killed in the game foots up to nine, while many were mained for life.
Arrangements are now being made for an interstate field day meet in Kansas City next spring. K, U, stands a good chance of winning the walking race through Croxton, and the high pole vault through Shellenbarger; the short throw through Haul; the hitch and kick through Matteson; the horizontal bar contest through Ogg.
The prospect for K U's, base ball team was nevr better than it is now. Last year's never defeated record will be upheld this year. For battery we have Gear and Kelsey, who acted in that capacity last year and who played in the league games last summer. Of the other old players, there are Chamberlain, Matteson, Williamson, Steinberger, and Hogg, white Smith, Shellbarger, Wag-omer, Pampel, Holdren, Phillips, Hamili, Strother, and Kimpton, all promising players.
It is high time that K. U. should learn that it takes more than a "Never defeated" record to play football. This year we have five defeats to our credit out of seven games played. What our Athletic Association wants is a good football team consisting of six professional players as Ann Arbor has, and also a 287 pound center rush. We want five coaches from eastern colleges. We want to "hog" the opposing teams as Denver did, and to keep a man like Toomey, or one who has taken lessons under him, and then insist upon having him act as referee.
Are you still loyal to K. U.? Are you at all interested in what is happening on Mount Orend? Do you appreciate the STUDENTS JOURNAL? If so, kindly evince your appreciation by sending a dollar at once to etiher of the Business Managers. We cannot waste more time urging this matter and if your dollars are not forthcoming; we will conclude that you do not care for the STUDENTS JOURNAL, and will cease sending it. If this is marked it means you!
Third and Last Call.
Try a Texas Trip.
To San Antonio, Austin, Ft. Worth or El Paso, and get a touch of summer in winter. The Santa Fe is offering some low rate tickets with liberal conditions as to limit. Texas may be just the place you are looking for, as a home or for investment.
The new students will find all the daily papers, magazines and periodicals, as well as the finest line of cigars, tobacco cos. pipes, base ball and athletic goods at Smith's News Depot, Eldridge House block.
