At last the initiation business is over with, and about thirty students are able to breathe. The faculty has put the participants on probation for the rest of the year, and has administered a reprimand.
The Probationist who were told they would have to show up big grades for the rest of the year in order to stay here do not feel as good as they might since the recent examinations.
The Baker Beacon thinks ti at Rho Kappa Tau is a new ladies' fraternity established here. From the interest taken in it by some of the young ladies, the outsider might have surmised something of the kind.

J. E. McPherson's friends rejoiced to see him back in the University Monday. The fall he received on the University steps spraining his ankle has ke pt him away from his classes for three weeks. Fortunately he has not allowed his accident to throw him behind in his studies.
Everybody was satisfied and pleased with Robt McIntyre's lecture on "Wyandotte Cave." He spoke to a good sized audience, which would have been larger had it not been for the continued rain and bad weather, Thursday and Friday. The course has begun well and deserves the patronage of all.
Amos of the Junior Pharmacy class visited Baldwin Sunday. On his return, in nearing the Lawrence depot, he stepped off the train while in motion, and fell, cutting a gash in his forehead. It was a bad accident, but might have been worse. Fortunately no bones were broken and he is able to be out again.
We hope the library petition will have some effect. This keeping the library closed during chapel in order to induce students to attend, is a regular farce. As far as its securing the desired effect is concerned it reminds us of the old lady who stood up in the buggy to make it easier for the horse when going up hill.
The KANSAN would like to urge all its subscribers among the Alumni and old students of the University, to keep on the lookout for items of news concerning former students and send them to the Local Editor. There is nothing so interesting to an old college man as to hear what his former associates and classmates are doing.
The desire seems to exist among certain factions elements of the Barbs to make every non-fraternity young man who thinks that he has a right to stick to the old literary society which he originally joined, feel ostracized by the Barb community. This is senseless. It is a sort of boycott business, in which somebody has an ax to grind, and wants every Barb in the University to get down and turn the grindstone.
The autumn leaves are falling, and the restless crows are calling, in the cornfield where the bawling steers and heifers tramp around; and the rising smoke is curling, from the chimneys and is swirling, through the hazy air and whirling like fire phantoms gauzy gowned. Now the sumach's red is brighter and the morns are growing whiter, as the frost king's dappled miter, crowns the hills and shiv'ring lakes; now the days are growing shorter, sandwiched 'twixt the nights like mortar, and a man "feels kind of" sorter, like he wanted" buck wheat cakes.
—[From "An Eleventh Month IDL."]
We saw somewhere, that the Regents of the State Agricultural college would in the future only employ Christian gentlemen as instructors in that institution. This sounds funny. It might seem to imply that they had been in the habit of selecting Mohammedans or Buddhists in the past to train up the agricultural youth in the way they should hoe.
Stand up for the literary societies. If the Barbs are all going to pull out of Orophilian and Atheneum, let the frat men of these two societies unite and make one first class one. We dislike to see the lines drawn on this point, but if the non-fraternity students are determined to have it so, they are taking the burden of proof on themselves, and cannot say that the frat men drove them out of the literary societies.
We hope the time will come in the history of the University when the legislature will get extravagant enough to squander some money for a library building for the State University. In the winter six or seven different kinds of wind creep and crawl and squirm through the cracks in the windows and the seams in the plaster, and twine themselves about the spinal columns of the Juniors and Seniors and,——(save the mark), of the law students too, but the latter are by nature so tough, that they don't mind it.
No. 10.
The Protective Tariff League offers three prizes for the best essay on "The application of the American policy of protection to American shipping engaged in international commerce." to be contested for by students in the Senior classes of colleges and universities in the United States.
Love--Riffl.
The marriage of Miss Isabella M. Love, daughter of Sheriff Alex, Love, to Mr. Albert S. Riffle, of Walla Walla, Washington, was solemnized in the Presbyterian church at 1 p.m. yesterday, in the presence of a large company of invited friends. Rev. R. H. Van Pelt officiated.
The wedding was an elaborate yet a beautiful and impressive one, which is seldom the case, and in every respect symbolized a union of hearts. The church was decorated by the ladies of Pi Beta Phi, of which the bride has been a prominent and active member. Over the altar was an umbrella of flowers and the entire front of the room was a bower of foliage and flowers. The members of Pi Beta Phi and of Beta Theta Pi the college fraternity which Mr. Rifile was connected while in the University were in attendance.
After the ceremony a reception and dinner was given the bride and groom by the bride's parents at their home on Pinckney street.
As for the contracting parties both are well known in the community and have many friends to testify to their sterling qualities of mind and heart. Miss Love is a daughter of Sheriff Love and has for several years been prominent in social circles and religious work. She was educated at the University and has many friends among the alumni of the institution all over the west. Mr. Rifflu was graduated from the University in 1884 and since his graduation has risen rapidly in his work as a civil engineer and is at present holding a lacrative and responsible position with the Oregon R.R. Transportation company
The bride and groom leave to-day for the east on their wedding trip, after which they will go to Walla Walla, Washington, which will be their future home.

Notes and News.
Geo. W. Cable.
The noted author of "Old Creole Days," "The Grasidissinces." etc., is one of the most popular readers and lecturers on the American platform. He carries the sympathy of the audience with him in his uasterly character sketches while he charms his bearers by his perfect ability in rendering the peculiar southern dialect. You will miss a rare treat if you fail to hear him next Wednesday evening, Nov. 20.
The chart will open at Crew's to-morrow morning at 8:30 o'clock. Course tickets entitling the holder to first choice of seats are still on sale. Remember the date, Wednesday, Nov.20. Single admission 75c and 50c.
Those who failed to see the parade of the Pughtown Farmers Band with the Si Perkin's Co., missed a rare sight. Si Perkins and his company will be in Lawrence Tuesday. Don't miss the parade. The Danbury News of Chicago says:
"Si Perkins" attracted all of its old friends and a good many new ones at the Opera House last night. There was a large audience present, and there was a large amount of fun emanating from Frank Jones and other members of his company. There was a great deal of laughter from a good natured crowd. Mr. Jones is the same old "Si," and it would seem, protraits the character better than ever. The dancing of Frank Young was a feature of the evening.
Seats on sale Saturday morning. Regular prices.
Caldwell and Knowton have taken to
scenading. They sing:
"The boo——d ab shi——dig,
Cub, O cub to be.
The stars ab gleabig
Cub, O cub to be."
Etc.
Everything neat and clean at Andy Reed's barber shop.
