Did you say it had been cold? do you say I? Many visitors registered this week Many students are going to Emorla? Buy your tickets of Street and Butler. How many students are going to Emorla? The Y. M. C. A. held a special meeting Monday evening. Washington's birthday is not going to happen this year. Strange but true. The Courier greatly lament a loss to the Barbarian factions. Thanks for your sympathy. The subject of "rooming" with some one seems a favorite theme with our contemporary. Did you read the Review? You should do so as it "sparkles with countless literary germs." Curry offers a standing reward for the head of the man who again calls him "our genial clerk." Martindale is after the scalp of the fellow who wrote his obituary in the Pil Gamma Pai organ. Ernest Blaker proudly sports the Beta badge. He rode the somewhat festive coat, last Saturday night. The Betas give their first party of the new year to-night. Several of the old bears are expected back. Mr Poe of Butler county, wishes to abolish our English Department——Because it is English you know. Everyone seems to be making up back work. Varily the Prep, will soon be blessing into the Senior. The meeting of the Political Science Club promises to be very interesting to night. See the program elsewhere. One of the backmen lost something in the well, near the front of the University, Monday. At least it is so reported. There was once a paper whose localizer went by the common but somewhat anonymous name of local-liar. Guy and festive Freshman in German class reading William Tell: "Perryman he quicklite me over the river." The legislators who visited our institution Monday last, were a fine body of good-looking, practical, common-sense men. They realize our wants, and it is to be hoped that from this visit will come the best of results. A week ago to-day it was very hard to convince a great many of the students that it was Friday. Why? Simply because the TIMES had not come out. The class in advanced English is exeased from writing Forensics, but its members are compelled to write a thesis daily. A few prominent society collegiates, who have wealthy ancestors, contemplate entering the Law Department immediately. Oh! That cruel faculty! The beginning German class seems to be large enough for an Embryo Dutch Republic. The price of limburger has gone up. If Washburn and Baldwin each send a car load of students to Emporia, why can't K. S. U. send two cars full of Rock-Chalk? Each Professor did everything in his power to present his department to the very best advantage to the legislative visitors last Monday. The local oratorical contest was a success financially as well as otherwise. A dividend of about 200 per cent will likely be declared. All may expetate a very interesting lecture at the Art rooms this evening. Mrs. A.R. Marsh has for her subject "Sin Joshua Reynolds as a Painter." Prof. Canfield forget to hear his Juniors in the Political Science Constitutional History Monday, and the Junior wondereth if he iseth of that littlest importance. The Courier man asks a question and then answers it. "Why the boys all gather on the street Tuesday and Friday afternoon, etc. Very well Mr. Editor, you know how it is yourself. Verdant, in the Courier, has finished. At first fresh and green, he passed in the second issue, into the "sere and yellow leaf" and now all is over. Write his epitaph.—Esa gibt viele Fliegel auf ihn. Street and Butler, with characteristic enterprise and pluck have chartered a car to carry the crowd to Emporia. Buy your tickets at once. Good support will encourage our orator and secure the laurels for K. S. U. Wanted—One hundred students with strong lunges to go to Emporia as Rock, Shark Jay-Hawk-K-U. must ring clearly above the Normal and college yeels.' What is the matter with 'standing off' the boarding house for a weeks board, as the majority of the students always skip a board bill about June 10th anyhow. An appearance of anxiety and anger expectation has characterized the look of all share-holders (?) in the Oratorical Association the past week. Each day has given promise of final settlement of this tedious ordeal, but even our talented professors seem somewhat puzzled when confronted by the wary works of our wire-pullers. The TIMES is achieving a brilliant reputation as the poets organ; A pipe-organ, through which the liper of rhymes may pipe out his most melodious refrains. But the editor of the poets corner, wishes to say that no poems upon spring will be received until the weather, moderates. The thermometer must be at east 65° before such effusions are valid. It is to be greatly regretted that one so brilliant, holding such a high position in his class, bearing the esteem of the professors and students alike, should turn from his chosen profession of law and pursue the course that it is announced Mr. Frinofch' of the Senior 'Laws has chosen. Mr.F. has announced his intended departure from the law and will hereafter devote his whole time and attention to the work of reforming the institution of marriage. His first lecture will be on the subject "To Marry or not to Marry" before the Kent Club. The whole class and department sympathize with Mr.F's mono-maniacal tendencies. To-morrow evening the members of the middle class of the Lawrence High School will present Shakespeare's "As You Like it." It is not to be expected that the young people can put this comedy on the stage in quite such a brilliant manner as James and Wainwright, but a neat deserving performance may be looked for. Seats on sale at Crew & Co's book store at 35 and 25 cents. If the legislative committee had been in the Library at the beginning of the third hour Monday, all hopes for a gymnasium would have been blasted. A. L. Burney, while attempting to lower a window, performed the remarkable feat of turning a backward summersault from the back of the chair on which he was standing. While this show had not been advertised, yet Mr. Burney was greeted with great applause and laughter, when he arose from his rather un graceful position, and it was found that although a little disfigured, he was still in the ring. As an athlete and a great aerial tumbler Burney stands well up toward the head of the procession. As You Like it. LAW. Personal. Miss Bessie Shepherd is a new student of K. S. U.

Last Friday evening witnessed one of the pleasant social events of the year. The occasion was the entertainment on their lady friends by the gentlemen of Phi Delta Theta. Although informal, it seems that a spirit of merriment possessed the entire company, all entered brightly in the merriment. The principal part of the evening was spent in card playing and dancing. While partaking of refreshments, the ladies were each presented with beautiful hand-painted cards, neatly tied in the white and blue the colors of the fraternity. This is something new in the way of a souvenir, but the praise of them by the ladies, is an evidence of their success. While the remnants of the refreshments were being cleared away Will White entertained the audience with his method of grinding out poetry. Althugh very amusing to the audience it is doubtful whether any of them know anything more of his methods than they did before.

Siberia When the late Barley Campbell wrote "Siberia," he submitted the manuscript to a well known journalist in New York, who after reading it, declared it would be a failure, because he thought the people of this country would not understand its ins and outs. The playwright answered that he was sure the play would be a success, because it appealed to human sympathy, and everybody understood that. Mr. Campbell was right: the play has been one of his greatest successes. In small and large towns alike it has drawn immense audiences at every representation. When it was produced two years ago, both press and public were unanimous in its praise. The play is full of thrilling situations, none of them overdrawn, but all constant with the real state of affairs in that accursed country. Snow storms, knout punish ment and Rusian imperial life are vividly portrayed, and each act ends with a strong and thrilling tabeau. The evolutions of the Russian soldiers are a feature of the production. The scenery for the representation is new and beautiful, and all the costumes are artistically correct, being taken from the plates of Russian costumers. 'Siberia' will be; resented at the opera house on Saturday evening February 9th. Remember the literary entertainment at the Christian church next Thursday night. Everybody cordially invited. The reason for the " shake " is that Innes has taken the helm and issued orders to his lieutenants to put on all steam and sweep down on prices. The result is that goods are lower than ever known—not on old goods —last year's styles—but on fresh new goods notably—white goods at 10 c,worth at least double French Satteens,new patterns at $12 \frac{1}{2}$,20,and $23 \frac{1}{2}$. New Ginghams at 8,10 and $12 \frac{1}{2}c$. New silks—new dress goods new table damasks. If you need any goods this is your harvest.
