Lane university has been haying a legal rumpus, in which the poor students have been hindered from attending chapel. How sad the dear students of Kansas State university would feel if they were denied the privilege of going to chapel exercises.
Everybody seems to be too busy this year at the University to work up a fight. Even the college newspapers slumber peacefully, and the volcano of amateur editorial wrath finds nothing to consume, except the delinquent subscriber, whom, like the poor, we have always with us.
The Y. M. C. A. of the university has been reorganized with the following officers: President, E. L. Ackley; Corresponding Secretary, C. P. Chapman; J. S. Hunter, Recordings Secretary. The meetings are held every Friday evening at 7:15, in room No. 11. All students ar1 invited to attend.
"Church going doesn't seem to afflict our students very bad this year," says some one. Doesn't ch? Just wait till they finish the new Methodist church and see if the students don't turn out. That's the way they did for the Congregationalists last year, any how. You can generally bet on the average student attending a new church.
When is it going to stop, this club business? Why we have the Philological club, a new Art club, the Telegraph club, the Tennis club, the Foot Ball club, the Base Ball club, the Photograph club, the Science club, Orophillian, Atheneum, Palladium, and five or six boarding clubs. It is in order we suggest for the Jack of Clubs to bring in his report to the horseeditor. We are being clubbed to death!
The Base ballists of K.S. U. held a meeting in the law room Monday and elected the Hon. Abraham Levy manager, and John Davis captain of the nine. Charley Vooribr with the captain and manager from the committee who choose the members of nine. Davis is a good one, and Abe Levy is, well, "too numerous to mention" as it were; he is a rustler, and if he don't get up some first class games for us, we are fooled thats all.
The Telegraph club is getting into working shape for the year. Prof. Blake is the President, W. S. Franklin Secretary and Treasurer, and the directors are Prof. Black, ex-officio, H. W. Hayne, and J. M. Noble. Five new members have been elected, thus completing the limit. They are Ackley, Slosson. Moody, Penfield, Blaker. The club has assets to the amount of $300, and is one of the valuable practical adjuncts to the University.
The Tennis Tournament.
The courts were in fine condition Saturday and everything transpired to make the close of the tournament successful. A large number of spectators were present and the enjoyment of the day was enhanced by the fact that the Lawrence boys carried off the principal honors. In fact Lawrence is establishing a reputation as the tennis center of the State and as tennis and culture go together, this is only what might be expected. The first match in the morning was contested by Messrs. R. R. and J. P. Whitman and Haines and Green, of Fort Leavenworth. The Leavenworth boys finally won after some close playing by the following score: 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.
Neil Brooks then met A. F. Sherman, the winner in yesterday's singles and defeated him by the following score: 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. In the ladies' and gentlemen's doubles, J. P. Whitman and Miss Hattie Driesbach defeated A. A. Cheesman and Miss Delta Driesbach, after some close playing; Jus D. Bowersock and Miss Ruth Whitman defeated A. F. Sherman and Miss Susan Driesbach in two straight sets.
In the afternoon the most interesting play of the tourney occurred. Messrs. Canfield and Bowersock defeated Lieutenant Harris and Mr. Greene, by the close score of 5-7, 7-5, 8-6. This was the final doubles and gave the prizes, two "Sears" special rackets, to the Lawrence boys. This match was very exciting and was applauded liberally; the Leavenworth men were within one point of winning several times, but the "won" point never came, and consequently Lawrence keeps the prize.
Net. Brooks then met and defeated J. P. Whitman in the final singles by the score of 5.7, 6-1, 6-2. Mr. Whitman was completely tired out, and did not do himself justice in his work.
In the final Ladies' singles Ruth Whitman defeated Miss Hattie Driesback, 6-0, 6-1. Miss Whitman is a player of great promise and with good hard work will make the best of the gentlemen hustle. In the ladies' and gentlemen's doubles Jus D. Bowersock and Ruth Whitman defended J. P. Whitman and Miss Hattie Driesback, by the score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-0. This ended the tennis.

Do You Know
That Innes' Dress Goods Department is the talk of the town. Why not? When you can get the assortment he carries to choose from it makes life easy to select a dress pattern, and then the prices alone are more than an inducement for you to buy your new frock there.
Boys why pay 75 cents and $1.00 a garment for your winter underwear when Innes will furnish you the same goods for 50 and 75 cents. Try him and see for yourselves. He has other useful articles in your line at very low prices, and solicits your trade.
