Why does the Santa Fe carry most of the passenger business in and out of Lawrence? Because it has eighteen daily passenger trains and gives the best satisfaction to the traveling public.

Many young people get up in the morning with a bad taste in the mouth, "that tired feeling," etc., and it takes an hour or two to get themselves to gether. It may be banquets or too hard (?) study, but ten to one they need Raymond's Peruvian Bark and Iron to overcome the difficulty, whatever it is.

Death of Porter Edminster.
Porter Edminster, formerly of Denver, Colorado. died in this city last Thursday, May 18, at the age of 24. Mr. Edminster came to this city about two years ago, entered into the profession of law, and devoted some time to literature, his talent running in that direction. A number of his contributions appeared in the Call and other first-class papers. He had a brilliant career before him, but his life was cut short by an attack of pneumonia which carried him off after an illness of but two days.—San Francisco Call.
The news of the death of Porter Edminster will be received with sorrow by his friends in the University. He attended the law school two years, graduating with honor with the class of '90. He was a diligent student, a good amateur player of Shakespeare, and able to repeat whole plays by heart, and was remarkably quickwitted. Readers of the STUDENTS JOURNAL will remember, that he contributed an article to its columns last winter on "Chinatown." His widowed mother has the sympathy of his University friends in her affliction.
The Kirmess.
A fitting close to the amusement season at the opera house will be the Dance of nations to be given by Miss Georgia Brown, assisted by nearly 200 graceful dancers, who will entertain the Lawrence public with a series of National dances that for grace, beauty, elegance of costume, and thorough refinement have never been excelled on the opera house stage. No professional troupes can begin to compare with such talent. And, while there may be some question in regard to amateur theatricals, there can be none when it comes to a comparison between charming performers in the the Kirmess and the ordinary stage beauties. Novel electric light effects by Prof. Blake will add much to the beauty of the dances. Friday and Saturday nights of this week. Tickets to all parts of the house except gallery 50 cents, gallery 25 cents. Scats on sale at Leis' Drug Store.
Faculty vs. Seniors.
Last Wednesday afternoon nine members of the faculty laid aside their duties for a few hours and deliberately proceeded to "swipe" the senior nine by a score of 24 to 21. The score was unexpected to everyone, as the senior class had been practicing for weeks, while the faculty never practiced once, together. The seniors failed to find Canfield's curves. We always thought the faculty had a good eye, and from the way they batted Robinson's curves (?) we are convinced that they have. Rice did fine work at the bat. Chancellor Snow ought to practice for third base on the 'Varsity team. Newson's fielding was a feature of the game. Kellogg's slick playing at second won the admiration of all. Canfield and Shepard made a good battery. The fielders did very well, Rice and Jones each made a fine flycatch.
During the first four innings, Ro binjson threw for the Seniors, Reno played in the box during the three remaining innings. If he had been there the whole game, the score might have been different. His left handed balls scared the faculty. Hickey did not play his usual good game. Before the game was over he felt rather tired (as did all the seniors). Cooke held first in pretty fair style. Fiegenbaum never had a "SO" after his name in the score book. Linville played a fine third. Sherman went to sleep the first time he came to bat, and didn't wake up until the third strike was made. Cress was subject to the "rattles" and was all thumbs when the ball came near him.
The game was exciting throughout, and the K. U. band discoursed sweet music.
In the first inning, two men were out and two men on base. It was Chancellor Snow's time to bat. Evidently Robinson thought thus to himself: "Here's my next victim," and he put through one of his little curves, when lo! Chancellor Snow had found it and had tapped it out just beyond the right fielder, and two men scored.
In the last inning the faculty ran in eight scores on account of heavy batting and many errors.
The following are names of the players and their positions;
FACULTY. SENIORS.
Canfield. pitcher. Robinson
Shepard. catcher. Hickey
Adams. first base. Cooke
Kellogg. second base. Sherman
Snow. third base. Linville
Newson. short stop. Cress
Rice. right field. Reno
Jones. center field. Fiegenbaum
Stierling. left field. Whitman
Faculty... 3 0 4 6 1 2 8 24-24
Seniors... 4 2 1 2 5 3 4 24-24
Jones or the bat? Which was it?
"Who's all right?" Rice, the home run man.
The Seniors are trying to find out who "bought off Hickey."
"Now yer off, now yer off, SLIDE"
and the Chancellor got his bass.
Our little entomologist on second didn’t need the net to catch the “flies.”
Sterling would have caught those flies, but "the sun was in his eyes," etc.
Linville hasn't his diploma yet, so he had better be careful how he slides into third when the Chancellor plays there.
Sherman at bat first inning. (Whif)
"strike one" (whif) "strike two," (whif)
"strike three, batter out." (Applause by spectators in grand stand.)
Sterling would not steal a base, on the ethical grounds, that stealing was contrary to every principal derived from a contemplation of his and Pato's idea of virtue.
THE CRIMSON CONQUERS.
K. U. Defeats Baker and Wins the Pennant.
Again the nines of Kansas and Baker universities met upon the diamond to decide the Champship of the Triangular League, and again the University of kansas has the pennant back in her possession. She intends to keep it on Mt. Orden in the future. The game was played on the Massachusetts street grounds, as McCook field was not dry enough to play ball upon. The day was exceedingly chilly, and those who failed to bring overcoats and cloaks regretted it. The game was called at 2:30, with Baker at the bat.
Confident of success, a large delegation came up from Baldwin to yell for their nine and float the orange ribbon. But every time they began to yell their "Rah' Rahl' Rah'" they were completely drowned out by the mighty "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk!" of the wearers of the crimson
The "preachers" put up only a fairly good game. They were decidedly weak behind the bat. Funnel couldn't even throw to second, and all the K. U. men had to do to steal second was to trot there. Dudgeon threw much better than in the exhibition game here a couple of weeks ago. Messenger made a poor excuse as short stop. The fielders made many poor plays.
The K. U. nine did not play their usual game, by any means. Gear did splendidly up to the last inning, when he seemed to lose his grip somewhat. K. U. permitted six men to score in the last inning. Keisey made a fine foul catch. Sherman did not play left field as well as usual. Bedell was at his best. Instead of striking out, as heretofore, he smashed the ball for a two bagger nearly every time, and his catch at first was the finest of the game.
In the first inning Baker was shut out, K. U. made three scores.
Baker made three scores in the next, and by making two fly catches and putting out Sherman at first, shuts K. U out.
Toomey scored on errors and K. U. was again kept from scoring. The Baker men were then shut out until the seventh, when they made one. In the ninth, not so much on account of ary splendid work of their own, but through the carless playing of the K. U. nine, they ran in six scores. In the sixth inning the K. U. nine took a lead and made six scores. In the next they made four, and in the eighth were shut out. They didn't go to bat in the ninth inning, as they had the gome.
The decisions of Brewster, of Washburn were exceedingly shakey, with the exception of one case where his decision was manifestly against Baker, he gave his decisions almost uniformly against K. U. Washburn is evidently sore over the fact that she isn't "in it" any more in base ball. In the future we would advise her to send down an impartial umpire.
The names and positions of players were as follows:
K U.
Gear... pitcher... Duggeon
Kelsev... catcher... Funnel
Bedell... first base... Brown
Alden... second base... Toomey
Williamson... third base... Carpenter
Crawford... right field... Loomis
Sherman... left field... Rice
Chamberlain... center field... Sutton
Mattheson... short stop... Messenger
