Things are quiet so tar in K. S. U. in the political line. And yet, once in a while we hear vague whispers of what some wily politician is brewing. Let us have a year of interest and enthusiasm, and not meanness and dissensions among the students. This is the common verdict, and the KANSAN says "dilto."
Orophilian and Atheneum did themselves proud Friday night. Splendid programs were rendered in both societies. The literary spirit in K. S. U. is reviving and will soon return to its old time vigor.

The number of new students this year is more than double that of last, according to several of the profs. Indeed, considering the increased severity of the examinations, the number is surprisingly large of those who have entered.
A little discussion occurred in the halls last Friday between some of our prominent students. The atmosphere began to get so warm in their neighborhood that a dose of cold water from the fire hose would have come into good play.
The Larwrence Tennis club will hold a tournament at their grounds on the corner of Warren and Kentucky streets, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 27th and 28th.

A large (?) and intensely enthusiastic (?) meeting of the University Foot Ball Club Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock (?). There was one member present! Nobody else coming in and it being rather inconvenient for one person to hold a meeting and transect business, the club adjourned *sue dle*
The Man Who Didn't Advertise.
Come listen friends, I'll tell you
In wondrous words and wise.
About the man in our town
Who didn't advertise.
With fondest hopes he set up shop,
And filled his grocery high
With choice brands of every sort
T could please the taste or eye.
Around this man the papers swarmed,
To get an "ad" or so,
But never would he advertise— It wasn't anv go.
It wasn't any go.
Nobody knew he had a store
'T was never noised about)
( I was never noised about ) And in the tennis game of life
And in the tennis game of life He found it "vantage out."
His courage failed, his fortune failed
For debts his goods apprised
And all because, my gentle friend.
And all because, my gentle friend,
He never advertised.

During the summer the University has been fitted up with excellent apparatus for protection in case of fire. We clip the following excellent description from the Lawrence Journal:
To a Journal man looking over the University building a striking feature were the
facilities forighting fire. Under the efficient superintendency of Mr. Crocker, a complete, and by ords the best facilities for protection from fire that the University has ever enjoyed, have been put in and the buildings are now perhaps as well, if not better, provided against fire as any in the West.
On the fourth floor of the main building there are two storage tanks of a capacity of sixty barrels of water each. From these mains lead to all the lower floors. On each floor there are two swinging hose racks, one on each side of the main corridor, and each rack carrying 100 feet of line linen 2 inch hose, with a brass nozzle of $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch aperture. This makes 800 feet of hose in the main building. There are also arrangements by which lighter and smaller hose can be attached to the mains and be used in janitor work and floor washing. Snow Hall and the Chemistry building are equally well cared for, there being 400 feet of hose in Snow Hall and 100 feet in the Chemistry building, in each case being sufficient to teach any and every part of the building. The storage tanks in the building are filled from cessers by a pumping engine, but to provide for the unlikely case of breakage of the pump so that the cistern water could not be used to fill the tanks, the tanks are connected by 4 inch mains with the city water works, and can then be filled direct from the city mains. Superintendent Crocker is proud, and dardonably so, of the arrangements for preventing a conflagration. The work has all been done under his personal supervision, and is honest and thorough.
The new coal-house is nearly ready for use. The foundation is put in with a view to sustaining a stone building of 14 feet corner walls. The original intention was to build a stone building with a driveway in the middle, and with the dumps so that loaded wagons might be driven in, and loads dumped with care. From lack of tunes, however, a frame building has been built, but so arranged that the only change required to return to the original plans will be the building of the stone walls. Cars run from the coal-house to the turfaces. The coal-house is 26 ft, by 48 ft, on the ground and has a capacity of 400 tons. In two weeks 150 tons will be put in.
Other general improvements are being made. In Snow Hall some new herbarium cases are being put in. This is a much needed improvement. The grounds are in excellent condition. Especially is this true of the part of the campus north and east of the main building.
THE following is an extract from a letter received by Prof. F. H. Snow from J. D. McLaren, a graduate of the University:
"As you will see by the heading of this letter, I have been released from teaching Biology in the Indianapolis High School. You will rejoice with me that on August 1st I was elected Professor of Natural History in the Maryland College. The College is near College Station on the B. & O. R., eight miles northeast of Washington, D. C., and towards Baltimore, which is thirty-two miles away. There is a very excellent collection of minerals, and a good herbarium. There are good skeletons of man, horse and cow. We have three fine Ziess microscopes, one of which cost $300. I think I am very fortunate in the professorship in the College, and in the location near the great Government Museums, and Johns Hopkins, and the ocean. I shall try to uphold the honor of Kansas State University and Snow Hall."
