Who score Upshaw's watch?

play.

The young ladies of the Domestic Chemistry class made some excellent "cream" bread, Tuesday morning.
Work in Snow Hall is much better this year than last. This is due to the comodious rooms and fine facilities offered.
The students in the library, were entertained last Monday afternoon by the "Webster Haynes" debaters of the Law department.
Miss Mollie Hall was "at home" last Friday evening to a few of her most intimate friends, at her residence, 1243 Rhode Island street.
Professor W. B. Brownnell, formerly professor of Elocution in the University, but now a prosperous attorney of Kansas City, visited old friends last week.
Miss Mabel Haskell entertains her many friends this afternoon with a luncheon. Miss Haskell is a delightful entertainer and a grand time is expected.
Last Sunday, several of the University students attended the German M. E. church. They report an excellent sermon by Rev. Mr. Flegenbaum, formerly of Clay Center, Kas.
The base ball grounds have been fixed up and are now in excellent condition for ball playing. If the weather will permit, the Sigma Chis and Betas will "cross bats" to-morrow afternoon.
The "America," the new Chicago weekly, offers a $250 prize for the best essay of not more than 25,000 words on "The Evil Effects of Unrestricted Emigration." It is hoped that some of the literary students will enter into this contest and win "laurels" for K. S. U.
John A. Mushrush presented a couple of cedar blocks taken from the streets of Topeka, to the University. It is now in order for some one to bring a stone from the road leading to the penitentiary, and by this means, also have his name published in the catalogue as a "donator."
There seems to be quite a controversy between the University correspondents of the Journal and the Democrat and Tribune to whether certain professors have to do their own janitor work. One claims that one professor has to sweep out his own room and wash the windows.
The Juniors and Seniors in order to avoid trouble, had better abide by the rules of the library. The rules most often broken are, that "books are not to be carried off without permission of the librarian," and that the "library card is intended as a sign whether the owner is in the library or not."
A hint to the wise is sufficient, but an open request to the Senior classics, who monopolize the Political Science table in the library, has failed, and Political Science students are compelled to study elsewhere. It seems strange that a table put in the library for one particular department, should be taken possession of by students of another department.
To-night the University enters upon a new era. Her doors will be thrown open, and the society halls, classical, museum* library, and the several rooms brilliantly
illuminated. This means new life to everything. The thanks of every student are extended to the Faculty, and especially to Pref. Jas H. Canfield, who has done so much to bring this about. "This is what we long have sought, And mourned because we found it."
nourished because we found it not." — Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk. K. U.
The following dialogue between two of the most popular professors of the University took place this week.
"Hello! are you lame?"
No. 2.
'Yes. I don't want to go to the party on night. It is to be a full dress party, and that means a 'hack'.'
"Why, I have ordered a street car. That is good enough for me."
Society students may profit by this.
Some very valuable additions to the already large assortment of instruments in civil engineering department have recently been made. The following is a partial list of the new instruments received. A $140.00 Buff and Berger engineer's level; two Aneroid Barometers, (one for use in high altitudes, and the other for more accurate work); a Current-meter or Tachometer manufactured by Gurley, used for measuring velocity and currents of streams; several new steel tapes, chains, levers, ba'la'rods etc.
The question occurs to the minds of some of the members of the Sophomore English class, that in the study of the "History of English Literature," the department of English should be supplied with a map of England and a map of the land of the Goths. It would doubless be of more value to the students than some of the handsomely bound Anglo-Saxon works in the Library, purchased for this department, which are read by none other than the professors. The question may also be asked, "why spend time in bringing to light supposed sixth century manuscripts of half completed English poems, when the average student can not find time to read a few of the modern authors?"
Any one can tell you that there are four great minstrels on the road, "Johnson & Slavens," "Thatatcher, Primrose & Wests," "Haverly & Cleveland's," and "Barlow & Wilsons." Of these four, none can compare with "Johnson & Slaven's." They are without a peer in the ministrel line. They stand at the head, with the best comedians and the best specialties. It was not without considerable difficulty that Manager Bowersock succeeded in booking so large an attraction as this, which plays in the Warder Grand at Kansas City just before coming here, and they will have the largest house that has ever greeted a minstrel in this town. Turn out with your girls, boys, they want to see it as well as you do, for there are no objectionable features about Johnson & Slaven's minstrels.
The University Tariff Reform Club met Tuesday night, at the rooms of the Jeffersonian club, and effected a permanent organization, by the election of the following officers: President, Richard Horton; vice-president, W. T. Caywood; secretary, Russell Whitman; treasurer, C. M. Ernss; Executive Committee, L. A. Stebbins and H. F. M. Bear. The Constitution and By Laws were adopted as reported by the committee. Any one being eligible to membership, who indoles the tariff views expressed in the last Annual message of President Cleveland. The room was well filled Tuesday night, and the Club starts out with a good membership. An excellent program has been prepared for Tuesday evening, and everyone interested is invited to attend. A challenge has been sent to the K. S. U. Republican Clb for a joint discussion of the tariff question. If the challenge is accepted, the discussion will probably take place sometime during the coming week

Dancing on the pavilion was the feature of the evening. At the proper time an elegant fruit lunch was served, after which the dancing continued to enliven strains of music by the Mandolin club. It was reported by those in attendance as one of the most enjoyable social events of the college year. The young folks thoroughly enjoyed themselves as they always do when Mrs. Bowersock entertains.
