INTERESTING STORY OF HOW MAN- AGER COPLEY'S GLEE CLUB SAVED A CHURCH AT PEA- BODY ON THEIR RE- CENT TOUR.
While it is not generally known among the students of Kansas university, it is a fact that they have in their midst a band of as bavage and successful fire fighters as there are in the state. They are no others than the members of the Glee Club. Besides a considerable amount of fire fighting that has won everlasting fame for them in the city of Peabody. The club played there the second night out. It was Christmas Eve and that fact taken with the inclementy of the weather and the impassable condition of the roads caused the boys to have a very small house. They felt that they had done very little to establish themselves in the good graces of Peabody people. But their opportunity was yet to come. After the concert the boys returned to the Palisade hotel and there, as was their custom sat about talking over the evening's work. Suddenly from without there came that dreadful cry of "fire," The boys sprang to the door, to hear some one crying from across the street that the church was on fire.
IT HAPPENED CRUISTMAS EVE.
People of That Town Very Grateful to the Glee Club Boys.
It should be stated that the Presbyteri n church was situated diagonally across the street, and it was this which was on fire, as light from the other side of the church gave evidence.
Over The Hu
800 Mass, St.
"Telephone the fire department," yelled one of the boys, as the crowd of them took for the other side of the street. Running in, one of them rang up central, or tried to do so. After two or three futile attempts, scme one briefly answered 'Well, what's wanted?'
"The church is on fire."
"Is that sc?" was the laconic reply.
"Why the Presbyterian church. It'll burn down before they get started if you don't hurry."
'Well maybe you'd better tell me what church is on fire.'
"All right, ring off."
"If theres the fire station."
Meanwhile the boys had broken into the church only to be driven back by the terrible volume of smoke that came pouring out. Nothing daunted, [three or four made a rush forward and with a bravery that should have the highest praise, ran up the aisle to where back of the pulpit a Christmas tree with all the trimming was on fire. On the floor was an exploded lamp and the fire was fast working its way up to the ceiling, making rapid headway on the dry woodwork. The first act of the boys was to seize, as best they could, the tree and trimmings and carry them from the church. Another seized the burning lamp and with great courage carried it to the door and threw it into the street.
This done, general cry for water was sent up. Several of the boys were already at the hotel trying to get a bucket of water but, not until the hotel keeper in his night robe, appeared on the scene could one be secured. Underneath the hydrant outside stuck a large candy bucket; filling this to the brm, two of the boys seized it and started on a run straight across the street avoiding all crossings although the mud was a good six inches deep and not very stiff mud either. On entering the church the sight that met their eyes was as amusing as it was terrifying. Standing one on the altar and the other on the pulpit, were two of the boys, yelling for water, while several others were darting about seizing all the hymn books and bibles they could find and firing them out at the windows, in the alcove back of the pulpit, around which the blaze had centered. The boys with the water hoisted to the one on the organ, which was nearer the fire than the organ, and he tried to throw the contents at the burning window, as a result he almost lost his equilibrium and the pail of water as well. Fortunately another boy was on the scene by this time with a smaller pail, a slop pail from the kitchen we learned the next moring, when its contents were seen spathed over the walls
and floor. However, it served its purpose as water could be easily dashed with it up into the burning window. A second full pool of water completed the work and the foe was out. Then in the same instant the boys, proud as could be of their wonderful feat set up a grand Rock Chalk that shook the rafters of the sacred house. Owing to the lateness of the hour the boys had the whole thing to themselves and it was only as they welled out of the front door of the church that the crowd began to arrive. Down the street several blocks could be heard the 'tinkle tinkle' of the hose cart stuck in the mud so deep, that had the church depended on its service to be saved, it would have been burned down and the ashes grown cold before it arrived.
The next morning the preacher of the church and a delegation of citizens called on the boys and publicly thanked them for their fine work. Money was offered for the damage done to the boys' clothes but none was accepted
Besides establishing a fine reputation for themselfs, the boys by their act,gave Peabody a new idea of what a college w. s. and doubtless raised K. U,very materially in their estimation.
The Youngest Woman to Hold That Re-
DEAN ANNA BOWEN DEAD
Miss Anna Maud Bowen, dean of Woman's hall, Northwestern University, at Evanston, Ill., is dead.
She was born in Chicago on December 27, 1872. She was graduated from Northwestern University in 1894. The next two years she spent as a fellow at Cornell, and led in her class while there. At the end of two years the degree Ph.D. was conferred on her. She spent two years studying at Leipzig and Munich. At Leipshe she was the first woman to obtain full privileges at the seminar. At Munich she also gained prominent mention.
In 1895 she accepted a place as editorial writer on the Nation.
In June, 1899, she was elected dean of Woman's hall at Northwestern, and immediately went to Paris to spend a few months before entering upon the duties of her new place. She was the youngest woman in the country to hold so responsible a place.
Must Be Vaccinated.
The following notice, signed by Chancellor Snow, was posted Monday morning: "Owing to the near approach of smallpox to the vicinity of the University, it is deemed advisable that all students should, without delay, see their physicians and become vaccinated. Such as have not been vaccinated elsewhere within the last five years, may be accommodated upon application to the treasurer's office from 2 to 5 p.m."
It caused considerable excitement among the students and many took advantage of the opportunity to be vaccinated. Dr. S. W. Willisten, assisted by the Medics, have vaccinated several hundred students this week. The direct cause for the bulletin and the conservation, was a yellow flag displayed in the midst of the student resident quarter in the 1300 block on Tennessee street, last Saturday. Nothing serious is anticipated from this close approach of the disease to the University, but every precaution is being taken to keep it out. The city authorities provided for a stricter quarantine, Tuesday night and arrangements have been made to isolate any students who may be attacked.
The students at the Missouri state university have presented a resolution to the faculty asking that the system of semiannual examinations be abolished. Among the reasons given for doing this are that it means a severe strain on the students and leads to cramming and cheating. The petition states that a students final grade on a subject should be based on his class record for the entire term, and that examinations at intervals should be given instead of at the end of the term.
Emporia College is losing some of her best professors on account of the new library that Carnegie is going to build there. The old debt has to be paid, according to the conditions of Carnegie's gift, before they can realize on his money, and to do it they are cutting down the salaries of the whole faculty with the result that several of them are resigning to accept positions elsewhere.

the Indians who played a fast game.
For the Indians Valley and Fallis played a good game. The Indians have made a great improvement since the last game and encouraged by the applause of their ad mirers gave the 'Varsity a hard fight.
The first half ended 6 to 3 in favor of Haskell and it was not until nearly the end of the second half that the 'Varsity came to the front. For the University it would be difficult to say who played the ster game.
The final success of the Varsity was large'y due to the goal throwing of F. Owens, assisted by Avery's usual strong eame.

Great is Ka'ss.
The following tribute to Kansas from the pen of Tom McNeal the well known editor of the Topeka Mail and Breeze furnishes agrest deal of valuable material for consideration.
Whatever you may think of her political conduct; whether you wear the sackcloth of the defeated, or snort with the exultant snort of the victor, the unalterable fact remains that Kansas is still the geographical center of the world—the linch-pin of the universe.
Even the fact that more people are at this time engaged either in abusing her or defending her shows that she is built to attract attention and invite contention. The ordinary, common place things of the world do not attract attention; only the things of value invite contention.
Kansas will in the future, as she bas in the past, overcome more difficulties, create more surprises, and make more material advancement in a given time than any other state in the Union.
Kansas is the only state that ever grew enough wheat in one season to furnish bread for more than one week for every man, woman and child on the face of the globe from Orient to Occident, and from Greenland's ice mountains to India's coral strand. She is the only state that, on a pinch, can raise the products of the frigid, temperate and terrid zones. She is the only state that within twenty-four hours can furnish climate suited to the taste of the ice-man from Iceland, the Pole from Poland, the Hol from Holland, or the tropical savage from Borneo in his untiming suit of sunshine.
Kansas is the only state that can mix in the cenere of every clime, and where a hot wind will affect the markets of Christendom. Within the last ten years the state has raised sufficient corn to fatten enough cattle to drink up the waters of Lake Superior, and enough hogs to furnish ham and gravy sufficient to float the United States navy. She has enough natural gas to supply the furnaces of civilization, and enough salt to make pickling brine out of all the fresh waters of the globe.
The heads of Kansas people, taken as a whole, carry a larger stock of brains than the same number of heads in any other state in the Union.
The people of Kansas read more papers, buy more books in proportion to their means, think more and can talk better on the average than the citizens of any other commonwealth. Every theory finds able advocates, and the Kansas man defending an error can generally out-talk a citizen of some other state who may be expounding correct doctrine.
Keep your eye on Kansas and don't be discouraged. In twenty years she will have 3,000,000 population and $4,000,000-000 worth of property. She will profit by the agricultural mistakes of the past and develop along the lines that nature intended.
Of all the states Kansas will finally show up with the strongest, brainiest man, the handsomest women, the fattest cattle, the most corpulent swine, and the swiftest horses.
