Name "Jayhawkers" Formerly Applied to Kansans as Cut- Throats and Border Ruffians
There have been many speculations on the origin of the name "Jayawaker." But few people on the hill know the historical significance of the name. The first trace of the word is found in the story of Pete, a man from Illinois, who, in 1849, made the over-and journey to California. These people became lost in the famous Death Valley but were finally found and saved. Their story when told in history even referred to them as Jayawakers.
In 1858 there appeared in Linn county an organization whose function is was to protect the settlers from the border riffles which had been causing much worry. These eightians adopted the name of Jayhawkers. Later, when war broke out, the Seventh Missouri Jayhawkers had joined the Jayhawkers, for their station was along the Kansas Missouri border, and they were to perform the same function as the former Jayhawkers had. The men were then forced by the border riffles, retaliating in like manner. On their dashes into the Missouri territory, they destroyed much property, encamped at a place near the river and much hated in the western part of the state. They were spoken of in the same breath with "niggers," cut-throats, villains, and ruffians. It was said that when a man found the bird was also found in the men of the Seventh Cavaliers.
Dean Dyer Principal Speaker Before Lyons Commercial Club Men
Higher Education Main Topic:
"Made a Decided Hit."
Says Local Paper
John R. Dyer, dean of men, was the principal speaker at a dinner recently organized by the American Society in appreciation of the advertising and prosperity brought avy the district.
Dean Dyer explained to the business men that he was in the proper atmosphere because he was born in an oil territory in Ohio and had made pies out of petroleum-sanked油. And his famous discovery were sincere in that he considered generous men of means would care for the city and would aid in the promotion of the state's greatest investment, higher education. He said that education is the best investment, an investment and not an expense.
Emphasizing higher education, Dean Dyer cited K. U. as a real business institution with the purpose of developing women to serve their fellows.
"oil talk for a few minutes seemed to obscure J. R. Dyer, dean of men in the room," he said, his main speaker for the evening, but he gracefully came from behind and took the lead. He is a splendid story, a brilliant man with a made a decided hit with the nearly one hundred business men who heard him" says an article in the Lyons Daily.

The display windows of the business houses along Massachusetts street will be painted in 19, for the decorating of the windows, and at 7:30 p. m. the curtains of the windows will be painted in 8, for the decorating of the grods each store has to offer.

so that it may fall as much as

Early in the summer of 1882, the regiment was ordered into a more active war zone, going into Kentucky and Tennessee. Here they found that their notoriety had preceded them in a strange notions as to what Jay-hawkers were. In their tales to little children they pictured them as children of a rarely food, as an article of diet, of young and tender babies. Bands of bobwhackers in Louisiana came to raise brains because of "raids" they made.
But there in Kentucky the Jayhawkers achieved a fame and a reputation for bravery and honor not exciled by any regiment in the army. Many a regiment of infantry was bolstered by a new force of knowledge that the famous Seventh Cavalry was supporting them. Col G, L Lee, in his farewell address to his command upon being promoted to brigading general, said: "They except one—they have never called you cowards."
Thus by more than four years of efficient and honorable service the name of Jayhawker was cleared of the stigma of infamy which had rested upon it. The bravery of that recurrent was made known from one man who arrived in the state given such standing that it is no wonder that the people of the state of Kansas are gnid to be called Jayhawkers.

Small Mollusc Injuries Brickwork London, March 17—A small mollusce, known as a Pholad, has been reported to have caused extensive injury to the brickwork at the enclosure of the Great Pyramid in Calcutta. The creature eats its way into the bricks where the surface glaze has been destroyed.
