The Freshman mock funeral was certainly the most unique as well as the best carried out "stunt" that has been done by a class of the University for years.
We are all pleased that athletic relations have been renewed with K. U. All enjoy contests with them and trust that hereafter Cavaness Athletic Park may see many more such contests between these schools.-Baker Orange.
The funeral procession Monday probably meant the burying forever of the annual May-day scrap. There will, of course, in the future, be clashes and encounters between the lower classmen, but they will not be of the cut and dried, stick-close-to-the pole affairs of the past.
Whoever had the recent track meet in charge are to be congratulated on the precision and smoothness with which the events were pulled off. Every event started on schedule time and some of them a few minutes early; there were enough things going on that is you got tired of one form of athletics, another could be watched. Altogether, it was an exceedingly well managed affair.
The students of Michigan University are after the gratters who have control of the senior publi.
cations and plays. The senior Annual will next year be placed in charge of a Board of Control consisting of two faculty members and two men from the senior class of each of the schools of the University This Board will have the selection of the business manager and editor of the Annual. A strict auditorship of accounts will be maintained and the enormous profits which have hitherto gone to two or three men will be distributed.
The Debating Council is agitating the proposition of bringing William J. Bryan to the University to give his lecture on the "Value of an Ideal," to help raise the deficit of the last debates. Mr. Bryan has given this lecture at Minnesota and Michigan to enormous crowds during the last winter and it would certainly be a reflection on the culture of Lawrence if University chapel should not be filled to hear him.

The M. S. U. Independent in a very bitter article denounces the action of the Kansas Debating Council in the selection of the judges for the Missouri-Kansas debate. As we know the facts we feel that their judgment was basty and illadvised and in no way borne out by the factors of the case. Missouri submitted her list of judges from which we promptly choose one judge, we submitted our list to their council and they refused to accept any of them yet there were none of them Kansas men or in any way connected with our University. We fulfilled our part of the contract, they refused to live up to their agreement
NOTICE--I want one or two active men, who can get business by telling the truth, to sell life insurance for me in this and adjoining counties. Full commission allowed and the right man can make good money, as the Northwestern is the easiest company on earth to get business for. J. R. GRIGGS, District Agent. 702 Massachusetts St.

The course covering four years begins during the first week in October and continues until June. A preliminary training in natural science is of great advantage. All the classes are divided so small that students are admitted to advanced standing after passing the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year in any College or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York is maintaining a satisfactory rate, and if this rate does not fully materially increase, the annual announcement giving full particulars will be mailed on application.

Smoke Black Seal 5 Cent Cigar.
"Dora Thorne," as a story, is too well known for comment, but it must be admitted that playwright has improved upon the plot to such an extent that the play is far more interesting than the book. In the play, the most dramatic and exciting points of the book are brought out with decisive action and powerful clearness, nor is the comedy found wanting. Much humor is intermingled with the episodes of the drama, making as a whole a play novel and interesting in the extreme.
A company of players well suited to their respective roles, have been engaged to interpret the well known characters, and a most enjoyable evening's entertainment is promised to all the lovers of the good and best in amusements.
