By a recent exchange we notice that the State Agricultural College, at Manhattan, becomes by a recent act of Congress, the recipient of 7,682 acres of land to be selected from the public lands within the State.
In the first place is the State of Kansas able to support and upbuild an institution such as ours?
While we, at K. S. U., much to our sorrow, have nothing to expect from the above quarter, yet as we see favors continually heaped upon our less deserving contemporaries, we again feel like raising our feeble voice in our behalf.
Most assuredly.
Secondly, how can ample appropriation for that purpose be secured?
Through our State Legislators, our Representatives and Senators. Very well. Now let us consider the means we have to work with. viz: Besides a large and influential corps of instructors, we have 500 students representing almost every county and city in the State.
When we consider that the reluctance with which our legislators make appropriations for our benefit is largely due to their incomplete knowledge of our institution and its requirements, we cannot help but hit immediately upon a plan for success.
It is this: Let each and every individual student, while at home, make the acquaintance of the Representative and Senator from his county or district and use his influence, whether great or small, in favor of measures presented by our Board of Regents and Faculty to the Lerislature.
Yes, and we can do still more by occasionally sending an article to our home papers which will remind the people of this commonwealth that they have a State University which bids fair to equal, if not surpass, Harvard, Yale or Ann Arbor, if they will but lend it the necessary assistance.
Then why not, each and all, lend a helping hand and thereby show our gratitude, at least, for favors received from our University?
LOCAL NOMENCLATURE
At the last meeting of the State Historical Society, Prof. W. H. Carruth suggested that an inquiry into the origin of Kansas geographical names would be of interest and of much historical value. The suggestion attracted considerable comment and at the request of the editor of the School Journal', Prof. Carruth has an article in the last number of that excellent publication, giving, as an illustration of the work he would have done, a brief sketch of the names of Douglas county which our readers will doubtless find of interest:
Douglas county was named after Senator Stephen A. Douglas, who contested the presidential nomination with Abraham Lincoln in 1860. When and by whom the name was given is not at hand.
Laurence was named after Amos Lawrence, of Massachusetts, whom furnished much of the "sinews of war" for the Emigrant Aid Society. The settlement was called at first Wakarusa, Yankee town and name was adopted on the suggestion Dr. Robinson, at a meeting of citizens held in the winter of 1854.
Eudora, name of the northeast township, as well as of a town at the junction of the Wakarusa with the Kaw, comes from Eudora, the daughter of Pascal Fish, a chief of the Shaweens, from whom the town site was bought.
Wakarusa, name of steam flowing from west to east through the country, and also of a township surrounding the city of Lawrence, south of the Kaw, is from the Shawnee Indian language. According to the common tradition the word means "his deep," being the exclamation of a squaw who was sen in to try the depth for her lord. But I have it on the authority of Honor Deer, chief of the Shawnes, Shawnes, that the name of the stream is Wuta-kala-oose, and means "You never speak to me," being the reproachful exclamation of a woman on one side to her neglectful lover on the other—a sort of Indian "Douglas, Tender and True."
Lecompton, the name of the Territorial capital of Kansas, and also of the township in which it is located, the northwest corner of the county, is named after Judge Samuel Le Compte, the first judge of the Territory, a pro-slavery man who announced that his decisions should uphold slavery because the institution was acknowledged by the constitution and entwined by his heart strings.
Palmyra, name of the southeast township of the county, is all that remains of a village named in 1854 by Mr. Barrickle and Robert T. Gresham, who inscribed by the greater light of Baldwin.
Baldwin, thirteen miles south of Lawrence, was named in 1888 for John Baldwin, of Borea, Obio, with the expectation that he would give Baker University a large amount of money; but, adds the chronicler, "he never gave any money."
A number of names of smaller post offices I will not take space to catalogue, but they would all have interest for those near at hand.
The time is rapidly approaching when another Kansas Legislature will meet. The State University must go before this legislature, as it has before the past legislatures, and ask for its appropriations. There will be the man of "economy" in the coming legislature, as there has been in past Legislatures. He will insist on cutting short the appropriation for the University, so that he may be able to talk to his constituents about his "record for economy." But the man of false notions about economy in matters of education is not the most dangerous person to the University. The man of whom we have most to fear, is the trader, the man, who having no sense of honor himself, looks for none in others, and therefore boldly approaches the friends of the University and tells them that he will support any appropriation for the University, provided these same friends of the University will support some pet bill of his. It is hard for the friends of the University to tell these men just what they deserve to be told, for if they be given offence, they of course have some influence, and may defeat this or that appropriation, and then the representatives must go home to their constituents and explain to them how it all happened, and this they dislike to do, as they are liable to be mis understood. But there is one thing sure, and that is, that the University can never become a great institution like Ann Arbor, so long as it is allowed to be the
subject of barter in our legislature. Let every true friend of the University in the Kansas Legislature this winter, give that body to distinctly understand that it is not for sale. That, rather than degrade the great State University of the great State of Kansas, by purchasing support for its appropriations by agreeing to support other bills that could not otherwise pass, it will close up its doors while the would-be traders of the Legislature go home to their constituents and explain, if they dare attempt it, why they refused to support the appropriation for the University, unless the friends of the University would agree to support some "pet" bill of theirs.
HALLOWEEN eve is drawing near. This is about the only time the city has an extra police force on, on account of the University students. While we like to see the students have all the fun they can get out of such an occasion, and while we do not believe half the stories about the destructiveness of the students, at such times, we would like to remind them that the honor of the University is in their keeping. That it can only be upheld by high gentlemanly and lady like conduct on the part of every student. While we like practical jokes, we do not like them at the expense of destruction of property and personal injury.
The TIMES in choosing its name chose a good common plug name; one that would wash and not fade, nor shrink. We eschew 'smart sleek' names and carefully avoided all journalistic jonah's.
With this fact in the mind of every student, no one need have cause to complain of the actions of K. S. U. students.
Our present hope to each and all students that the TIMES may be good TIMES, and that you can pay your sub ... etc.
Care or the eyes.
A little pains in observing the following rules for the care of the eyes, as laid down by Dr. C. J. Lundy, of Detroit, in a paper read before a sanitary convention, held at Ann Arbor, Mich., will probably result in benefit to many a one who otherwise may be compelled to cut short his college course.
Dr. Lundy says:
1. Avoid reading or studying by poor light.
2. Light should come from the side, and not from the back or from the front.
3. Do not read or study while suffering great bodily fatigue or during recovery from illness.
4. Do not read while lying down.
5. Do not use the eyes too long at a time for near work, but give them occasional periods of rest.
6. Reading and study should be done systematically.
7. During study avoid the stooping position, or whatever tends to produce congestion of the head and face.
9. Correct errors of refraction with proper glasses.
11. Let the physical keep pace with he mental culture, for asthenopia is most usually observed in those who are acking in physical development.
8. Select well printed books.
10. Avoid bad hygienic conditions and the use of alcohol and tobacco.
Literary Note.
Mr. C. Powell Karr, a graduate of School of Mines, Columbia College, has in preparation a Manual of American Colleges, which proposes to give in classified form all the leading Colleges, Universities, Technical and Professional schools, their requirements for admission, courses of study, cost of tuition and living expenses, and, in a word, a systematic resume of all the information needed by parents, guardians and students to enable them to decide intelligently what college or institution of learning it is best to attend. It is to be issued from the press of William T. Comstock, New York.
A grand Republican rally will be held at Ottawa this evening. Senator Plumb L. U. Hummrey and others are expected to deliver addresses and every effort has been put forth to make this one of the greatest Republican gatherings of the campaign. The fare being only 80cts., round trip, will insure the attendance of a good delegation of K. S. U. Republicans.
FREMONT AND THE UNION,
"For Fremont and the Union!"
Rang out the bate the cry;
"For Fremont and the Union!"
To conquer or to die.
On pushed the gallant cavalry,
as if to fear unknown;
Reliction trembled as she rode,
and tottered on her throne.
Brave hearts best;neath the bosoms.
Strong arms hold high the sword;
And courage there was paramount,
And victory was the word.
They dared to face the cannon's mouth,
And court the muskets roil;
"For Fremont and the Union!"
Inspired each mighty soul.
"For Fremont and the Union!"
"Tl charger' onward sped";
"For Fremont and the Union!"
The b little cry was heard.
No *w* watch the waving columns.
Reel backward at the stroke;
And see the gallant chargers
bludge through the battery, smoke.
To right side left, to front and rear,
The bra ve ones out their way.
White gap g wounds and titted blade
Mark their might hilt hold sway.
Now harenna the ela bing swords
but greet the li-ting car;
And harken to the death hi-low,
And groom and anguish drear.
But see! the foe is routed!
They break—they run 'tis past;
And "Fremont and the Union."
Have won the fold at last.
Let's cheer the nobile hundred,
and sixty, who oopped
Two thousand foes and over,
and thus the battle closed.
The flag of freedom e'er shall wave
Above the heads of all;
While "F e mount and his chargers",
Come at their country's call.

UP$HAW'S IDYL.
Once upon an evening dreary.
As I wandered weak and weary,
Coming from the show.
With my good cane close at hand,
And a warch with yellow band
Did I stroll.
Little thinking of the danger I was in;
Till coming up the street,
Whatever he and I see.
But a friend
He was dressed in human clothing
Like a swine
And a pop bottle, did he push against my head.
Like a dance.
A little bit purple ear, I wished for the nex
Like a man.
When he said, "Throw up your hands!"
I compiled me with a mummids,
Like a dog.
While my eyes glowed like two rockets,
He went deep into my pockets,
For crying.
With my lucre and my rep,
And my watch, with his step,
I did not see him more.
For I reached my bed-room door,
(in the dw)
Since caught in that sad plight,
I he'er go out at night
Any more.
University Republicans.
M --- d.
The University Young Men's Republican club met last Tuesday evening in National Bank building and in a spirited and enthusiastic way discussed political situations, etc. C. S. Hall gave a brief sketch of the life and character of Gen. Benjamin Harrison. W. M. Russ discussed the late Fishery treaty and the President's position and relations with the Canadian government. A. D. Flannelly and F. E. Reed made short addresses on the comparison of wage workers of England and of America. Wheeler and Wixon entertained the club with a few comic songs. The challenge of the K. S. U. Tariff Reform club was accepted and arrangements were made for a joint discussion of the question.
"Resolved, That a Protective tariff is a benefit to the wage workers of the United States."
C. E. Street and W. J. Wade were selected to champion the cause of Protection and to meet W. T. Caywood and H. E. Copper, the representatives of the Teriff Reform club, and if possible, convince them of their error.
A. Valuable Gift.
Hon. Geo. R. Peck of Topeka has made the University library one of the most valuable and welcome gifts of the year. It consist of the works of Dean Swift complete in nineteen volumes bound in heavy linen with uncut edges. The books are of a limited edition. De Luxe from Houghton Mifflin, Boston and are in all probability as expensive a "set as can possibly be gotten out
The works bear the editorial notation and arrangement of Sir Walter Scott, and hence doubly valuable.

OROPHILIAN SOCIETY.
Last Friday evening the Orophilian society held its first meeting, under the new faculty rule. The meeting was a grand success. If the future may be judged by the meeting last Friday evening, that night will mark a new area of life and enthusiasm in the literary societies of K. S. U.
The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity. An invitation was extended toAtheaneanum to meet with Orophilian. The invitation was accepted, after which the following joint program was render-
N poc moi
Music ... Mr. Homer Ellison

J. O. Worcen. G. O. Virtue.
One week from this evening the society will hold its next meeting.
The luncheon given last Friday afternoon by Miss Mable Haskell to a company of her young friends was a delightful affair. The guest were: Missess Helen Simpson Maud Springer, Nellie Franklin, Lillie Buckingham, Edna Maxwell, Kate Powell, Helen Sattil, Lanie Johnston, Mamie Henshaw, Williams, Jonie Edwards, Carrie Haskell, Lida Griffith, Sue and Eva Milas, Tella Chapman, Ollie Pierson, Mary and Edith Haskell, Emma Bartlett and Mrs. C. P. Grosvenor.
Last Friday evening the young ladies of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity entertained a number of their friends with a tea at the home of Miss May Walker on South Tennessee Street. At half past seven the tea was served in the pleasant manner so characteristic of the Thetas. The Mandolin Club dispersed sweet and inviting music, and the latter part of the evening was directed to dancing, conversation, and cards. At a late hour the guests departed, each one declaring that the Thetas had added another to their list of successful parties. Those present were Misses Walker, Mannie and Helen Simpson, Benedict, Chapman, Wagstaff, Bartell, Merrill, Webster, Daily and McMillan. Messrs. Dunlap, Davis, Mushrush, Buckingham, Kroh, Anderson, Decamp, F. H. Kellogg, Horton and Hoge-boom.
Miss Gussie Price gave a lunch party Thursday afternoon complimentary to her cousin, Miss Margaret Botkin. The guests were Misses Johnson, Pugh, McCague, Henshaw, O'Bryon and Hadley.
Now that we have succeeded in having the University open on Friday evenings why not make the experiment a complete success by having a large tournament of students, to the entertainment of that evening. Brace up young man and be sure and have your best girl engaged for that night, two or three days ahead of time, for it will not be long until everybody will be "on the hill". Friday evenings.
THE L.C. COOKIE SHINE
Saturday evening the ladies of I. C. Sorosis gave one of their enjoyable "grub meetings" more elegantly known as "cookie shines," which have made that sorosis so popular in University circles since time immemorial. This time the meeting was held at the home of Miss Emma White on Mt.Oread, and the mercury of enjoyment indicated a high and happy degree in the social thermometer. Those present were Misses. Penfield, Manley, Scott, King, Webber, Suttiff, Harrison, Horton, Barker, Love, Baird, McCagne, Snow, Gertrude and Millia Cretty, Lyons, Tisdale, Roberts, Dow, Griffith, Pugh and Sue and Eva Miles; Messrs.
