The Kansan has a collector at work this week, and it is hoped that all subscription accounts can be settled at once. Some of the records of subscription have been lost, so if you are asked for your subscription and it has been paid, the collector wants only to see your receipt that he may make a record of it.
It seems that the city of Lawrence is at last waking up to the fact that the prohibitory law has been violated regularly and openly for years. It is a queer situation that such things can go on without interruption and in the open, with everybody but the authorities "next." It has been a notorious fact that intoxicants were to be had for the asking, and it has been advertised by the press of other towns of the State. Lawrence is just finding it out officially.
Missouri has at last officially declared the debate off for this year, after the matter had been dropped for so long that it was almost a mere matter of history. It is to be hoped that a satisfactory explanation of the difficulty can be arrived at, and that the annual Kansas-Missouri debate will continue in the future without some of the conditions which have made it unpleasant in the past two or three years. No one here knows what was the matter with Missouri this year, beyond that they made a pretense of having the worst grievance ever. One thing that has been a stumbling stone is that they have what purports to be a contract for the government of the debates, and no one here has any idea of what those articles contain, beyond what Missouri herself represents through any one of three or four correspondents who have been carrying on the negotiations. Bury the hatchet—let's take a fresh start.
The Hoodoo man seems to be after the Kansans' scalp for fair lately, judging by editorials from various college papers and from their own rag. The "Independent" and "Daily Iowan" claim that the chinning department of their respective institutions have gotten advanced cases of lock-jaw owing to the "Angelic" inclination of the "pious" Jayhawkers. Accordingly negotiations for the annual "confab" are off between the Iowa and Kansas Laws and the most radiant smile from the brightest sunflower that ever bloomed in the trust-ridden state could not convince the Missourians that they intended to do the square thing for Missouri needs to be shown.
The above is clipped from the editorial page of the Daily Nebraskan, and shows a pretty thorough misconception of the real situation here, thanks to the Missouri Independent. There was no trouble at all with Iowa, beyond the fact that their Law School which had the debate scheduled, backed out on the debate. There was no disagreement, Iowa simply refused to set another date, presumably on account of conditions in their own school.
Mr. U.G. Macubrie of last year Journalism School is visiting friends at the University. He is now editor and publisher of the Rosland Nebraska Gazette.
Miss Minnie Owens went to Burlingame, Kansas, yesterday to read at a concert given there last night.

Analysis of Natural Gas.
Professors Cady and McFarland of the Chemistry department of the University of Kansas, have made an analysis of natural gas as it is delivered in the pipes at the University and in Lawrence. It will be of interest to know that it does not contain any air as has been asserted. They have also made the remarkable discovery that there is a considerable quantity of helium in the gas. Their analysis is as follows:
Composition of natural gas on May 16, 1906.
Oxygen trace
Carbon dioxide 0.20
Carbon monoxide 0.00
Marsh gas 98.06
Hydrogen trace
Nitrogen 1.57
Helium 0.17
Total 100.00
As the natural gas comes from different localities and that delivered at Lawrence is a mixture, it is liable to differ in composition from time to time.
