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.

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. At a late hour the guests took their leave, declaring themselves as having spent a most enjoyable evening.
Those present were: Misses Mason, Inez Taggart, Manley, Hair, Gertrude Crotty, Johnston Springer, Helen Sutliff, Nina Taggart, Price, Heeshaw, Scott, Chapman, Rushmer, Morris, Millia Crotty, O'Bryon, Towne, Bartell, McCague and Franklin, Messrs.

Field & Hargis desire to express their regret for not having the second term books on hand at the proper time. Their books were shipped on January 9, but owing to an unavoidable delay, did not reach here until Jan. 28. Field & Hargis are not at all to blame for this delay; the fault lies entirely with the railroad company.

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. It will pay you to participate in these bargains at

TWO TIMES still has no "fabored apology" to make for its debut upon the sec end term of its existence. Through the tender care and capable management of our predecessors the TIMES has, we believe, steadily advanced in the estimation of the students of K. S. U., until today it is no longer looked upon as a mere venture with uncertain aim and issue. Confidence has been established, impartiality and justice to all students assured and the most fastidious are at least quiescent. The incoming administration has no radical changes to offer, no new theories in Civil Service or Tariff Reform to advance; but will simply endeavor to guard with zealous care the every interest of our University and its supporters We flatter ourselves that such a policy, backed by a corps of editors chosen by our many subscribers, and equitably representing all classes of students, must sustain the TIMES in the high rank which it has attained at the hands of our "illustrious predecessors."
Our suggestion to the Courier regarding change or dates, directory, etc., was heeded. The mighty may even learn from their inferioris.
THE Educational committees from the Legislature visited the University last Monday. The effect of the visit now remains to be seen.
We as students of K. S. U. surely have ample reason to rejoice. From the fine appearance of the members of the Legislative committee which has just inspected our institution it is very evident that they are men who fully appreciate the advantages offered by a well equipped institution of learning. From the broad smile on their faces as they saunter through our halls it is apparent that they have a warm feeling for our welfare. Rest assured our interests are safe in their hands. With such men in our legislative halls we will not long see our State institution of learning hampered by appropriations even less liberal than those advanced by Missouri for her University.
NEXT Friday it will be decided whether K, S, U. will again represent Kansas
In the Inter-State contest. That this should be so is the desire of every loyal student of K. S. U. Our representative may not have been your choice; someone else may have suited you better, on personal grounds, but the judges decided, and there can be no doubt as to the wisdom of their choice, that Mr. Reed is the best orator that K. S. U. produced this year. This being the case, all personalities should be laid aside and all should do all in their power toward the success of our orator at Emperia. No better way can be found of doing this than by your presence at Emperia. If he sees a large number of his fellow students before him, he will be encouraged to put forth his best efforts for success. Students secure your tickets at once and go to Emporia and see another trophy added to the victories of K. S. U.
AMONG the new departures in the Department of History and Political Science is noted the commencement of the critical study of the Civil war, its causes and effects. Although some have questioned the advisability of this step so soon after such a bitter civil conflict, yet when the fair and impartial methods employed by Prof. Canfield are considered only those extremists still prejudiced by "sectional sectarianism" can fear the results. Students in this department are no longer simply instructed but are allowed that freedom of research among the authorities in our library, which can only result in a thorough explanation and understanding of all points in question and tend to a symmetrical development. By such methods undue prejudice will vanish, points formerly in dispute will be settled and by the exercise of little good reason and judgment we are enabled to delve deep into even such delicate topics as the Rebellion before the generation involved in it has passed
"VERILY the whang doodle mournth" but it is hinted that our esteemed contemporary may not "go on forever." For once we must give due credit to an open ingenuous avowed and this time we are the more willing because it is a confession of inherent weakness. It does take courage to acknowledge ones faults—ones incapabilities. This much we admire in the attitude assumed by our contemporary in seeking a leader for their organ for the coming term, from without the ranks of their dual combine. But upon a second thought, well knowing the utter inability of these parties to remove their veil of false pride and ac knowledge their weakness—we are convinced that the offer of editor-in-chief of the Courier recently made to a well known non-frat man, did not arise from any such motive. We are loathe to believe that within their ranks can be found no one capable of watching the emouldering embers die. No, the true secret of such a move is summed up in selfishness and bribery and well merited the severe rebuke which it received.
THE Baldwin Ledger takes the TIMES to task for a short squib in a recent issue concerning one P. P. Campbell, a journal clerk of the Senate, in which the TIMES states that Mr. Campbell has an opportunity to injure the University. The Ledger attempts in a half column of ringing editorial to exhonorate the eminent gentleman and charges the TIMES editor of not knowing the difference between the duties of a legislator and a journal clerk. We may or we may not know the difference but we do know that Mr. Campbell is not a friend to K. S. U., and he is not duty bound to do anything for her. In judging the future by the past, our conclusion cannot be otherwise. The charge made by the Ledger of jealously of Mr. Campbell's rank obtained in the Inter-State Contest is false. Mr. Campbell showed his little ness of spirit and lack of patriotism and manhood last May when as president of the Inter-State Association, on a tie vote for the presidency between the Indiana man and one from Kansas (a K. S. U. representative) he cast the deciding vote, conferring the honor on a man not of his own State. Oh yes, certainly Mr. Campbell has the best interests of the
THE PEABODY CATALOGUE.
University and Kansas Institutions at heart.
Perhaps all have not yet noticed the valuable addition lately made to the reference book in the library in the shape of a catalogue of the library of the Peabody institute of the city of Baltimore. It is a gift to the library from the trustees of of the institute. It consists of three large volumes containing 2668 pages, covering the alphabet from A to L inclusive. The rest of the alphabet is to be comprised in two more volumes, and there will be a sixth, a supplementary volume. These last three volumes also have been promised to our library. The fourth volume to end with the letter R, will probably be finished about the end of next June
A mere glance at this catalogue will suffice to show that neither pains nor expense have been spared in its preparation. The more printing of the volumes so far issued has cost nearly eight dollars a volume, and the next to be issued will cost about ten dollars. About 350,000 titles have already been written for the whole catalogue.
It is in one alphabet for both authors and subjects. It includes not only books, but also collections, periodicals, and proceedings, journals, reports, and irregular publications of societies. Under books it also gives all important reviews. Under Grote's History of Greece, for instance, 18 reviews of it is named. And not only a book, but its contents are catalogued. And when the contents are given under the title of a book, they are given, not in order of pages, but in alphabetical order of subjects in heavier-faced type, making it much easier to find the subject you want than in the other catalogues. The treatment of periodicals also shows a great improvement on other catalogues. Not only the volume and the page are given, but also the year and number of pages; thus giving one some idea of the resources at the command of the writer, the place of the article in the history of the subject, and the extent and depth of treatment.
This catalogue will serve us as a splendid guide to the best that has been written on every subject, and a constant reminder of what our library ought to contain. On Greece and Greek alone it contains 53½ pages of titles, giving 3300 titles. There are 4½ pages of articles in periodicals on Greek inscriptions. There are 53½ pages on England and English, 53 on France and French, 28 on Germany and German, and 12 on Egypt. The Bible gets 35 pages, and Drama, of all times and literatures, 77. What a splendid array! And all, the best books. There is absolutely no trash such as can be found in some quantity at least in almost every other catalogue. This catalogue ought to prove an inspiration to every lover of books and study in every line. No one who is reading or studying any subject should fail to get all the light this catalogue can throw on. Indeed it will repay perusal at any time.
REFLECTIONS.
The first term is past. The examinations are over. Some of us failed in one or more studies. Many of us who did not fall expected "ones" where we got "threes." There was a cause for this. Each individual knows the reason of his or her own failure. With many it was unavoidable, but with most it was the result of broken promises which we made to ourselves on our entering in the fall. To these last and to all students who are in the habit of making such promises and then breaking them, we say do it no more. If you will work, you need make no promises. If you won't work, the promises are likewise of no use. Many of us thought to spend our holidays in reviewing, here again we made the same serious mistake. One of the professors was heard to remark the other day, that he did not expect his classes to study during vacation, and that he thought anyone one foolish who even attempted such a thing. Now, it seems as though that was the common-sense view of the thing. And while it may seem out of place and a little late we would offer a few suggestions for the second terms work. Do not try to do too much. Whatever you
do, do your best. Don't promise what you will not do. Don't work when you are given a chance to rest. If this advice was closely followed we think the faculty would soon have no use for their rule regarding failures. We think that the students would feel better, and that they would hold the time spent here, as well spent and not thrown away. Follow Prof. Canfield's advice: Work while you do work. Go in with such a spirit and you will win.
REPORT OF THE BUSINESS MANAGERS OF THE UNIVERSITY TIMES TO THE TREASURER.
To the Treasurer of University TIMES Publishing Co.
SIR:
We, the undersigned, Business Managers of the University TIMES, in accordance with the Constitution of the company, submit the following report:
In making this report we thought it not out of place to recall a few incidents in the history of journalism in the University.
In the year'78-'79 there existed papers in K. S. U., the Collegiate and University Courier, published monthly and the University Pastime, published semi-monthly.
The University Pastime ceased with the issue of April 16th, 1879, seemingly for lack of support. With the Courier and Collegiate still in the field, the University Review sprang into existence in the fall of 79, but ostensibly combined with the Collegiate. The Courier soon went under for want of support.
This left the Review the only paper it the University till the summer of 1882, when the Courier was revived. With one exception these two papers were the only ones published in the University from that time till the TIMES started up. The exception was the few months two Couriers were published.
At different times in the history of the University three papers have existed. But at no time did the the third paper receive so large and enthusiastic support as has the Times.
No third paper has met with such financial success as has the Times. Business men as well as the great body of students welcomed its entrance into the world.
With the judicious management and good word on the part of the managers and editors, who shall follow we firmly believe and have a right to expect that the Times will live and prosper for years to come.
With these few words we make the following report of receipts and expenditures in the publication of the TIMES. Cost of publication to Jan. 1, 1889, $254.37.
Receipts from subscribers and advertising to Jan. 1, 1889, $250.37. Leaving a deficit of $4.

EDITOR TIMES: Since Prof. Marsh's appointment to the department of Bates Letters at Harvard I have noticed many paragraphs from papers in the State, congratulating Kansas on the fact that Mase sacchuess has to send out here for a teacher. It seems to me that this rejoicing is a little premature.
While I am heartily of the opinion that both State and University are to be congratulated on having for three years enjoyed the services of a man whose ability has won him this call from his Alma Mater. I do not think we should forget Harvard as Prof. Marsh's Alma Mater, I owe my education to the State of Kansas, and most ungrateful would it be in me to decry the gift; but such a man as Prof. Marsh is not the product of Kansas culture, and it seems to me absurd to claim him as such. His three years of residence here do not alter the fact that his equipment was obtained and his facilities trained at that very institution whose demand for his services has called forth so much self-grification.
□ Of course, with Prof. Marsh, education is a process that will cease only with life. Therefore I doubt not that he has profited and developed by his experience among us; yet I would risk a statement that he has left as powerful an impression on Kansas as the State on him.
Kansas has done much for a new State to establish opportunities of culture, and she already has cause to be proud of many sons and daughters of that culture. But that we are so eager to credit of which so slight a part is our due is in itself an indication of how much we luck. When the time really comes when Harvard sends for Kauasus bred and Kauasus trained men to conduct her classes, no one will rejoice more heartily than
KANSAN.

The Science Club Banquet.
A reporter of the annual carouse of the Science Club labors under two difficulties. If he gives a full report of the proceedings he is liable to be viv ected by the members for betraying the arcana of the club, and at the same time he realizes that even if he was $ _{2} $ not sworn to secrecy he could give no idea of the feast to one who was so fortunate as not to be there. The amount of oyster soup and elder consumed may be estimated when it is known that nearly all the forty-nine guests present had been saving up their appetites for weeks in anticipation of this event. Crucibles of nuts and raisins, battery cells of crackers, and prehistoric vases full of apples were emptied as fast as the nimble waiters could bring them, and Prof. Dyche's buffalo meat was in great demand. The stomach of every scientist swelled up with pride when he thought that for the first time the club was dining off of its own dishes.
After the banquet the club adjourned to the Osteology room where the feast of reason and flow of science was continued. Music by the Mandolin Club was followed by a paper by Prof. Murphy on "Ancient Bridges," illustrated by charts. The first one shown was a suspension bridge such as our ancestors in the primeval forests used to construct out of their own bodies by twining their tails about each others necks. The lost chart was a bridge devised some centuries later which the professor seemed to consider an improvement, although only one person could cross at a time. Judge West exhibited a fossil from the Dakota rocks and gave a classical and unscientific explanation of its origin. It seemed to mary of the club that his antiquarian zeal had caused the learnod paleontologist to mistake the nature of the specimen but as it now forms part of the K.S. U. collection our readers can see it by applying to Judge West or Professor Snow.
The great event of the evening was the trial of William Suddard Franklin for the crime of killing a specimen of Felis Domestica, the body of which had beed found in Snow Hall and the tail in the prisoner's pocket. The brutal and friendish expression of the prisoner's countenance and his ferocious attack upon Sheriff Short prejudiced the minds of the spectators against him but his tender embrace of Miss R—showed he still possessed some instinct of humanity. Attorneys Bailey and Eames brought forward expert testimony in regard to the effect of strychnine on brittle cats and attempted to prove that the bacteria obtained from the cat and the tail were identical, but on the part of the defense the diligence of Attorney Esterly in keeping the jury awake and the wonderful tact of Attorney Blake in the examination of the lady witnesses kept the balance of justice even. However, if the jury had been composed of persons of even ordinary intelligenience there is no doubt which way the case would have been decided.
After the trial the room was darkened and Prof. Sayre exhibited stereoptic views taken by instantaneous photography on the loco—motion of the horse, that is the effect produced on a horse by a dose of loca-weed. Richard Short then showed a series of slides on the struggle of the vegetarian with a calf.
About this time your reporter lost his memory and has been unable to obtain any account of the proceeding from the other guests.
Unity Club.
Mr. Edward Russell's address on Civil Service Reform at the Unity club Monday night brought out a fair audience; still we might wish that more students and citizens of Lawrence had evinced their interest in the subject by their attendance Of those present certainly none went away lukewarm after Mr. Russell's earnest appeal. The speaker dwelt on the necessity of arousing the public conscience and remarked on the unhappy significance of the fact that the public conscience needed to be so aroused. His
own perception of the burning need of reform dated from the disgraceful scenes of the election of 76.
The history of the Civil Service was briefly reviewed and figures were adduced to give a realizing sense of the enormous growth of the principle of removal for political reasons, from the administration of Jackson, the patron saint of the "Spool System," Mr. Russell said he did not understand how any honest, intelligent man would for a moment hesitate between the above mentioned and the "Merit System"—between the right of the people to faithful and competent service, and that of a "pack of politicians" to degrade public office into a bribe for favors and a recompense for political trickery.
Having the fear of Representative Poet before his eyes, Mr. Russell denied our obligation to England for the idea of a reformed Civil Service, and pointed out that all the reformers asked was a return to early purity of the Republic. To the State of New York be the disgrace of having developed the spoils system in local politics and of having them introduced it into national affairs.
The history of recent moyes toward reform was given, with extracts from the principal bills brought forward. The speaker recited Kansas history as an illustration of the tenacious grip of the ruling party upon the offices, and stated that but one governor had ever had the courage to nominate a Democrat to a position of trust and honor in the State, and the Senate refused to confirm. Such utter disregard of the rights of minorities was too plainly unjust to admit of argument.
The speaker closed with a solemn avowal of his sincerity in the principles he was advocating.
In the course of the discussion which followed Mr. Russell was authorized to draw up a petition to the legislature for signature by the club and all others who feel an interest in this subject—the petition to state the opposition of the signers to the spoils system in local politics and to pray the legislature to abolish it in that State. Mr. Russell stated his belief that the thing would succeed if only the women of Kansas would be aroused, since in their keeping is the conscience of the people.—Tribune.
Times Company in Session.
Wednesday, January 30th, was the date as set by the Constitution for the election of officers and a staff of editors of the University Times, for the ensuing term. Promptly at 1 o'clock, the now-famous room No. 11, was well filled with the fifty stock-holders and a goodly number of pld up subscribers, all of whom have a voice in the selection of the editorial board. It was a University crowd in every respect, representing no faction or clique, but a body of students interested alone in the success of a paper which is published for and by the students of the Kansas State University. There was no grumbling, no quarrelling, no kicking. The officers were chosen with little contest, and how wisely the future must determine.
President Hunt called the meeting to order and the list of eligible votes was read by the Secretary. Nominations for editor-in-chief being called for, F. E. Reed was placed in nomination and unanimously elected. The board of twelve assistant editors was then elected, the names of whom appear with this issue at our mast-head. The following other officers were then elected in order named: President, E. M. Mumford; Vice-President, H. F. M. Bear; Treasurer, N. C. Brooks; Secretary, Jus D. Bowersock; Business Managers, Wim. Hill and F. W. Butler. Board of Share Adjustors, Caywood, Mumford and Spencer.
The report of the Business Managers, as published in another column, was received and adopted, after which the meeting adjourned. Thus, most auspiciously, the TIMES begins the new year.

A SUPERNATURAL DOG.
The reporter was sitting on one of the seats on the Battery promenade recently when a well-dressed woman passed leading by a strap a snow white Spitz dog. A man dressed in the rough garb of a laborer sat on the seat next to the reporter, smoking a short-stemmed cob pipe.
How a Train Was Saved from Wreck by an Optical Illusion,
It is to the interest of every student to call on Bromelsick when in need of anything in his line.
"Talking about strange things," said, the laborer, nudging the news-gatherer. "I never see a white dog but what it calls up a strange experience I had while firing on the Pennsylvania railroad ten years ago. I was in the cab with Tommy Burns, one of the best engineers in the company's service, and our run was between Jersey City and Philadelphia. We left Jersey City at nine o'clock one Saturday evening, pulling a long train of passenger coaches and three Pullmans. The cars were all full and we had the right of way, making no stops except at Market street, Newark and Trenton. We rolled along all right over the Hacken-sack meadows, and after we left Newark we struck a sixty-miles-an-hour pace, and watched the telegraph poles flash by till they looked like the teeth of a fine-tooth comb.
"We had struck the plain at Prince-
ton Junction when Burns, who was
looking out of the cab window, says to
me:
"Look-a-here, Jack! There is a white dog runin' alongside what's been followin' us for five minutes and blamed if he ain't keepin' up to the injine. Look at him.'
"I was shoveling coal in the furnace at the time and the heat was blistering my eyeballs in their sockets. It took me some time after gazing out of the window before I could make out the dog. Finally I saw him skimming along like a swallow. Now in the glare from the window he could be plainly seen, then he would get out in the line of the darkness and we would lose sight of him. But he would be sure to show up again in a few minutes. Ditches, cuts and sharp beads, it was all the same, that white dog stuck beside the cab as steady as its shadow. Burns and I couldn't make it out. First we thought our eyesight was deceiving us, for the awful heat from the furnace, the sharp wind or something else, or all these things put together, is terribly trying on one's eyes who has to use them in an engine cab. The sight gets blurred and cloudy, and sometimes you see double, and sometimes you don't see half. Well, Burns and I thought at first we were fooled by our eyes and there couldn't be any dog. But mile after mile that white dog was alongside.
"Jack,'" says Burns all at once,
"this is more'n I kin stand. If our eyes ain't mussed up there's something wrong somewhere. I am again' to stop her.'
“Sure enough he stopped, and we both got off the cab. The conductor came running up and wanted to know what in the blue blazes was the matter. We told him about the white dog running alongside the engine, and we looked about to show him the blamed animal. But to our surprise there was no dog to be seen, and hunt high and hunt low we could not find him. The conductor laughed at us, and Burns and I got aboard again, thinking that after all our eyes might have fooled us. Burns pulled back the throttle and we started on slowly. There was a curving cut just ahead of us. Fifty yards from it, before the wheels had fairly begun to revolve good, the headlight flashing on the track before we showed us a rock that must have weighed two tons on our track. We stopped the engine with the cow-catcher not twelve inches from the stone, which, loosened by rains, had rolled down from the bank. Had we not stopped on account of that white dog we would have struck it on full headway, and you can see what that would have meant. I got shaky soon after that, and resigned, and the very mention of a white dog, less the sight of one, brings that strange ride back to me.”—N. Y. Tribune.
RUSSIA'S GREAT SECRET.

How Marshall Jewell Stole Their Method of Making Leather.
In one of the stores on Broadway lately, I noticed some fine Russian leather goods of various kinds, and was tempted through curiosity to take a closer look at them.
"Why is it," I asked the proprietor,
"that these goods can not be manufactured in this country as well as in Russia."
"Bless your heart," he said, "these goods are made right here in this country, and neither Russia nor any other place can make them any better. You see, for a long while Russia enjoyed a monopoly at this sort of work until a Connecticut Yankee happened on the scene and caught on, so to speak, to the secret of its manufacture.
"This leather was manufactured in a large factory situated in one of the towns of northern Russia. The owners possessed some secret about curing the leather, which they jealously guarded. England and other countries sent operatives to this factory to learn the secret, but when a man once entered the factory it was a life job with him. He had to stay there.
"Other men were sent there disguised, but so carefully was the place watched that nothing could be learned and finally all attempts at discovering the secret were abandoned and the Russians were allowed to continue their monopoly undisturbed although many imitations of it were manufactured.
"About this time, the late Marshall P. Jewell was Minister to Russia from this country. Mr. Jewell had been brought up in the leather business and was then the owner of several tanners in Connecticut. Of course he had heard of this now famous factory, and more from curiosity than from any desire to learn the secret of the business he expressed a wish to inspect the works.
"The Russian authorities never suspected that Mr. Jewell was interested in the leather business himself, and in his official capacity the factory owners, who were aided by the Government in maintaining their secret, felt rather complimented that Mr. Jewell should have expressed such a desire, and accordingly Mr. Jewell, as it were, was given the 'freedom of the factory.'
"For three days the United States Minister remained in the Russian town and visited the factory many times. He was quick to catch on,' and he did 'catch on' so much that on his return to the United States he determined to put the knowledge he had thus acquired to a practical test.
"The result was that Mr. Jewell was soon manufacturing 'Russia leather' on his own account. His first experiment was a perfect success, and now, as a consequence, this sort of leather, as you will perceive, is manufactured in this country equal to 'every respect to the best that Russia a can turn out.' N. Y. Herald.
A MAN OF MEANS.
How He Accumulated Five Million Dollars in Twelve Years.
A medium-sized, middle-aged man, with an iron-gray mustache and offhand ways, though of few words, arrived here the other day over the California and Oregon road. He is a man who has made a great deal of a stir in half a dozen Territories and States of the West, and is yet doing it, and is talked about a great deal.
The quiet, unassuming man was Dennis Ryan, the five-times millionaire, builder of the gigantic Ryan hotel in St. Paul, railroad-builder and silvermine owner. His family are with him, and will remain all winter, but Mr. Ryan himself will stay but a short time.
Mr. Ryan has led a strangely checked life. Up to 1876, it is said, he had no money at all, and had the hardest kind of work to get along.
In that year, while toiling as a common miner, he struck it rich in the Rebel mine, one hundred miles from Ploche, in Nevada, and sold out for $1,000,000.
This seemed like a vast sum to Mr. Ryan, but he wanted more, and he put a big many thousand dollars in the Horn Silver trying to develop it, and at last he and Matt Connolly, who were
equal owners, opened an immense ore body, and sold out to an Englah company, represented by Sir Charles Franklin, for $5,000,000.
With this vast capital Mr. Ryan went to Montana and secured some of the best mines there, and worked them at a profit. He also secured large contracts for building the Northern Pacific railroad, and he has also been identified with other railroad schemes, notably with the road projected from Billings to Cook City, in Yellowstone National Park.
He also began and completed the big Ryan hotel in St. Paul, which is the wonder of the Northern prairie regions. This hotel is variously estimated to have cost from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000.
Mr. Ryan is now engaged with other capitalists in building a large smelter at Tacoma for the reduction of Washington Territory and Idaho ores. Mr. Ryan was met by an [Examiner] representative, but he hesitated to go into particulars in regard to this or other Western enterprises in which he is engaged, saying that for business reasons he preferred to say nothing. He thought from their commercial locations that Tacoma and Seattle would be cities of considerable importance.—San Francisco Examiner.
—Stationer—"Yes, sir; we have every kind of pens. What kind will you take?" Chicago Litteratour—"You may give me a box of facile pens. I understand the best writers use that variety."
—I twenty-one apples packed by a New Holland (Pa.) farmer completely filled a half-bushel measure. The smallest weighed exactly one pound and five ounces. The entire eight tipped the scales at twenty-four pounds.
OF GENERAL INTEREST.
— Thomas Cruse, the millionaire stockman of Montana, proposes to rent ewes at fifty cents each per year for a term of years, the lessies to return the same number of ewes at the end of the term; the ewes to be taken as they run in the flock when leased and when returned. The lessies have all the wool and bear the losses. Mr. Cruse, estimating the sheep at $2.50 per head, receives twenty per cent on his investment.
—The mule has qualities which entitle him to respect. A mule and a man in Georgia made a crop of cotton which packed into seventeen bales, averaging five hundred pounds each, besides making enough corn, fodder, hay and peas to feed the mule another year.
—A Nebraska man has organized a band consisting of a concertina, a triangle, two drums, a pair of cymbals ad mouth organ. He plays the ensemble combination himself, and would make a mighty showy organization if he could only afford to hire a drum major.
—There are on exhibition in the rooms of the State mine bureau at San Francisco 6277 'desclicated human bodies' that were found by Signor S. Margherli in a sealed cavern at an elevation of 4,000 feet on the eastern side of the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico.
— "You'd be surprised," says a New York safe manufacturer, "at the number of sham pasteboard safes in New York and they're made so well that any ordinary person would be deceived. They have a businesslike appearance and give an office a thrifty look, all for $5 or $6 whereas the real article would cost something like $100.
—Joe Patrick, of Delevan, Wis., married his mother-in-law, Mrs. Casperwich, the other day, and brought about a very complex state of things. He thus becomes stepfather to his former wife. He was formerly the son of his present wife; being the son, he becomes the brother of the old lady's daughter (his former wife) and also a father-in-law to himself.

—A box of sardines was recently found in the stomach of a bear killed in Michigan. The box was nearly digested, but the sardines were all right.
—He—"Believe me, dearest, when I say that I shall be the happiest of mortals if you will just consent to share my lot and—" She —"Just a moment, Mr. Breeze. Is it a corner lot?"
—“Pa, what is a marplot?” “It is one of those little games your mother and grandmother put up on your father, my son, when they are peculiarly anxious to go to a matinee. Now don't ask any more questions.” —N. Y. Sun.
—Lady (as a blood-curdling war whoop is heard from the kitchen) —“What is happening, Walters?” Maid —“That is Dinah. She always yells that way, mu'ma, when she succeeds in turning the omelette without letting it drop on the floor. She's the daughter of a Zulu chief.” —Time.
—Anxious wife—"John, you promised me last winter you would turn over a new leaf and join the church this year. When do you mean to do it?" Husband (in the midst of the wholesale fruit business) — "Great Scott, Maria! Don't you know better than to spring that promise on me in the middle of the apple-packing season?" —Chicago Tribune.
—Mrs. Winks—"You surely are not going out to night?" Mr. Winks—"Yes, my dear; election, you know." Mrs. Winks—"The election is over." Mr. Winks—"Um—er—yes, my dear, this one is; but there'll be another election in four years, my dear, and every good citizen must begin to think about candidates, you know, my love. I'll be back early."—Philadelphia Record.
"Allow me to congratulate you on your engagement. Tell me how it came about. I thought you intended remaining single." "Yes, certainly; but I met the other day at a ball a young and pretty girl, with whom I got into conversation, and, only think, she confessed that she, too, had decided to remain single. Impossible to imagine greater harmony of disposition—and so we got engaged."—German Paper.
—Young Doctor—"Yes, I expect that it will go pretty slow when I first open an office until I get started a little." Old Doctor—"Well, you bet it will. Why, when I first hung out my shingle I sat in my office for three months, and only had one case." Young Doctor—"Whew! That was pretty tough, wasn't it? Only one case; and what was that a case of?" Ole Doctor—"A case of instruments."
PERSONAL AND LITERARY.
—Some expert in paper has determined that books printed on pure rag paper will last for centuries, while those on paper of wood-pulp and rags will fall to pieces in two generations.
— Bronson Alcott leaves behind him in manuscript one of the most voluminous diaries of modern times. It has been faithfully kept for the greater portion of his life, and fills fifty-seven large bound volumes, the last one dated 1881. In addition to these there are also in manuscript six volumes of autobiographical collections and seven of letters.
—Jean Mangold, the poet of Alsace, who recently died at Colmar at the age of seventy-two years, was equally famous as a manufacturer of pates de foie gras and as a composer in the Colmarian dialect of verses, satires and comedies, which found their way into every hamlet. His vaudeville, "La Triple Noce dans la Vallee des Balais," with music by Weckeslin, counted its runs at Colmar and Strasburg by the hundred nights.
—Lord Beaconsfield described his wife as: "The severest of critics, but the best of wives." He had the greatest affection for her, though she was twenty years his senior; he was never seen in society without her and she traveled with him on all occasions, and he frequently said she was the "founder of his fortunes."
-William Black belongs to the small band of "athletic authors," a
title which Julian Hawthorne was wont to boast belonged only to himself. Although below medium height, he is built with remarkable compactness, is very litle and active, and is capable of great physical endurance. His short, black hair, thick mustache, dark hazel eyes, firm mouth and square forehead all suggest strength. He is only to be found when in the act of evolving a novel, otherwise he is roving about city and country studying "types," enjoying the sea from Brighton cliffs or on board a yacht flying to America for a little odd material, or to Egypt for a nearer peep at the heavenly bodies, and back again to London to spend a week with art and politics.
An Interesting Controversy.
Bobby- They were talking about you nast night, Mr. Featherly.
Mr. Featherly—Is that so, Bobby?
Bobby—Yes, about you being homely enough to stop a clock.
Mr. Featherly (anxiously)—Who said I was, Bobby?
Bobby—Mu.
Mr. Featherly (much relieved)—Oh, your ma! And what did your sister Clara say?
Bobby—She didn't think so.
Mr. Featherly—Bless her—h'm—er
-did she think I was handsome?
Bobby (hesitatingly) —Well—er—n—no; she said she didn't think you could stop a clock, but she thought you might make it lose time very fast.—Harper's Bazar.

Old Physician—You haven't hey? Young man, when you have been practicing forty years you will have learned how to hesitate, sir. It is important in a case of this kind, sir, to hesitate, and it is also more professional, sir.
Young Physician—May I ask you, sir, what your opinion is of the disease? Old Physician (impressively)—The disease, sir, is muscular atrophy, complicated with angina pectoris.
Young Physician (humbly) —Yes, sir,
—Chicago Tribune.
—There was great excitement in the Omaha depot the other day. A noise like the crying of a child was traced to a closed trunk, and when the bystanders put their cars closer they were sure that something was wrong. "My God," cried one; "give me a handspice or something. There is a child inside, and it will smother." No handspice was at hand, and people began to pull keys out of their pockets, and at last the lock clicked. The cover was raised and inside were discovered an old maltese cat and five new-born kittens.

Our best singers and musicians have consented to participate in a concert to be given next Tuesday evening in the New Merchants Bank hall for the benefit of the Episcopal church. We believe Prof. Saunderson is also to contribute a reading to the program. An interesting evening may be expected.
Miss Nellie Morris entertained a small number of her friends Monday evening in a most delightful manner. Card playing was the principal amusement, interspersed with music, and a course of delicious refreshments, which makes the heart of the average student rejoice. Miss Morris is an excellent entertainer.
The first two meetings of those interested in college songs have been a decided success. Many song-books have been distributed among the students, and the interest manifested is a matter of pride not only to the originators of the scheme but to all who desire to see an awakening of a genuine University spirit. Now let us organize a Glee Club which shall assume the management, and another element so necessary to college life will be assured.
Misses Lou and Anna Kenyon entertained a number of their friends last Wednesday evening in honor of their brother, who has returned from California to spend a few days' recreation at home. The evening was delightfully spent in games and various social amusements. When refreshments were served, each guest was presented with a beautiful button-hole boubuet, which made very appropriate souvenirs. Those present were Misses Parker, Manley, Fullerton. Morris, and the Misses Henshaw; Messrs. Brown, Lutz, Swope, Morris, Caywood and Fullerton.
The students who failed to hear Mr. Whitman's paper on Miss Alcott Monday night missed a rare treat, as it afforded an opportunity of hearing from Mrs. Alcott's own letters many pleasant and interesting events in her life. These letters were written to Mr. Whitman who at tended school when a boy, in Concord and was a warm personal friend of the Alcott family. Mr. Whitman arrayed her material admirably and the letters supplemented the reading from the books of the gifted author in a very interesting manner. Next Monday night Mr. W. M. Hayes will read a paper entitled "Three Stars" treating of three prominent New England authors. The social hour will be made specially attractive. Students are always welcome at the meeting of Unity club.

We desire to express our gratitude for the valuable assistance given by Mr. H. F. M. Bear on this issue of the Times. Even the TIMES editors are sometimes called from their duty and we always feel thankful for the timely assistance of our friends.
An Emporia editor in speaking of the Emporia College spells it with a little "c." Surely he does not think much of that institution. If a Lawrence editor would spell University with a little "u", four hundred students would be looking for him with a "stuffed club."
"LET Harvard have our professors. It would be better for the State of Kansas, if she had the professors, building and all." - Senator Kelly of Mike-pherson in State Senate January 30.
That is what Senator Kelly thinks. And that is also undoubtedly what the people of Kansas think concerning Senator Kelly, his statemanship and all.
Emporia News: The University Times of Lawrence urges the students "on to Emporia and victory," and says that "Walk-Chalk-Jay-Hawk K. S. U." must ring above the yelps of the other schools.
The News man seems to be of the opinion that the University students are so bound to "walk the chalk" that they have adopted it in their college yell.
In the House the first half hour of the morning session last Tuesday was devoted to minor matters, after which it resolved itself into committee of the whole to consider the State Normal School appropriation. One and a half hours were consumed in discussing one item—an $800 clerkship—It is to be hoped that the legislature will soon be through quibbling over such small matters. But if they must do so, it is well that it is not the bill of appropriations for K. S. U. over which they are squabbling. When that comes up may all of our noble Solons be in a good humor and the petty feelings of sectional jealousy be banished.
WHEN W. A. White was awarded his share in the Oratorical Association, it everlastingly and eternally settled the much disputed question.—"Who stole the book."
It meant that C. E. Street was the rightful and legal secretary, and the lawful guardian of the company's books. And if anyone entered his room in the dead of night, and took them away without permission, he violated the eight commandment, which says, "Thou shalt not steal."
We do not say this in any revengeful spirit, or to tarnish the fair name of a fellow-student, or to call unpleasant recollections, but only as a student's organ, whose duty it is to get the news, interpret it, and answer all questions of information. Now that 6t is answered, let it perish for sweet charity's sake. Let us forget and forgive.
New York Evening Post: The lower branch of the Kansas Legislature has adopted a resolution that will make the Cobden Club and the London Times quake in their English boots. On the motion of Mr. Poe, it was resolved and carried unanimously, that "the Committee on State Affairs be directed to ascertain and report whether it is a fact that the British doctrine of free trade is being taught at the State University at Lawrence; if so, by whom; and that it be reported by bill or otherwise what, if any, legislation is necessary to abolish the English titles of Lord Chancellor, Dean and Regents, and substitute in lieu thereof the American titles of Professor and Trustees for the officers of said institution, and for all other State institutions of the State of Kansas to which British titles are given by the laws of the State." There is, we think, some mistake about the title "Lord Chancellor."
We feel pretty sure that the head of the University is called simply "Chancellor," but this is bad enough, known. For the title of "Dean" and "Regent" we have not a word to say; they ought to go, but so ought the term "University," which is also of English origin and is now in constant use in England as the name for a seat of learning. "What you may callit" would be better. Against the proposal to continue the use of the term "Professor" and "Trustee," as also British, we hereby record our respectful protest. There is only one way to avoid the corrupting influence of English term in collegiate nomenclature, and that it to invent wholly new ones. For instance "Thingemebob" would not be a bad name for the head of the University, while "Pals" would be an admirable Democratic appellation for the subordinate teachers, and the governing body might be called "Mandarin" or "Daianos," thuswholy avoiding the European taint As to the teaching of the "British free trade," we would not touch it by law through fear of driving it underground All civilized States have had trouble with "pernicious doctrines," and have found that persecution was the way to spree them. If free trade teaching is prohibited in a State, "Whatyoumaycallit", i would probably be carried on in the night-time in cellars or caves, or in theccesses of the forests and mountains. Mr. Poe must remember the trouble which Bloody Mary and Louis XIV has with the Protestants.
The TIMES is glad that the Oratorical Contest is at last settled. Whether the decision was a just one or not, we shall not pretend to say. Both factions agreed in the beginning to abide by the decision of the committee, and it is now their duty to do so. To the Faculty Committee of Arbitration, Prof. J. H. Canfield and A. R. Marsh, the thanks of all students are due. They labored earnestly, honestly and long, over a matter which to the mamounted to nothing. And they retire from their arduous duties, with the respect—if not the love—of both the contending factions. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for, theirs is the kingdom heaven."
VEXATA·QUAESTIO.
The decision gives the Phi Giamma- Psi Combination, thirteen votes or a majority of one in the present Oratorical Association. Or in others words, as
long as this association is recognized by the State Association, all the oratorical officers and delegates from K. S. U. are to be named and elected by thirteen, out of our four hundred students.
However unpleasant this condition of affairs may be, it yet remains a stubborn fact.
We hope that the present twenty-five members of the Association will consider this matter and give it their attention. Let them ask themselves the question—Is it right, is it just that a majority of our number—thirteen students—should dictate to four hundred?
We believe that the majority of students would not care to become stockholders in the association but would only like a voice in the selection of the officers, who are to represent them. And this is no more than just.
Therefore we hope that when the Constitution is amended, so as to include the points in the recent decision, that the election of all delegates and representative officers shall be made by the popular vote of all the students in the four collegiate classes. Then the University of Kansas would be truly represented in the State Oratorical Association.
As to the financial part of our Association, of course, keep that within your present number if you like. As there could hardly be a 200 per cent dividend declared, if there were 400 stockholders. But this has little to do with the question at hand.
The students, as a body, without regard to clique or class, are demanding and will ever demand a right to vote in the representative organizations of our University. And we hope that the members of our present Local Oratorical Association,—now that we know who they are,—will give this matter a serious consideration, and will not turn a deaf ear to this appeal, when made.
1F.2
If our contemporary will consult the markings of the judges in the late contest and count delivery half, as it is counted in the State, the bump of egotism which it has developed to so remarkable a degree of late will probably resume its normal size—Courier, February 1st.
Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad—If! Yes, dear contemporary, if the hare had not gone to sleep he would have beaten the tortoise; if Cleveland had received more votes he might have been elected.
"But of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these—it might have been."
If the Courier's pet orator jin the late contest had had a better oration, a little more thought, a smoother delivery, he might have taken a better rank.
The TIMES had no pet orator or favorite until after the judges decision. But we insist that "our bump of egotism would have developed to the same remarkable degree" even if the "judges in the late contest had counted delivery half as is done in the State."
We have consulted the markings, as requested, with this result.

We are perfectly satisfied if our W.
C. is. Give us something easy next time.
A COMPARISON.
Many years ago in a great eastern State, there was a man who was a member of the State Legislature. One day as he was sitting listening to a brilliant speech, the speaker quoted aalin phrase. Turning to a fellow member he asked if his neighbor understood that. The fellow member replied that he did. "Well" says the first gentleman. "I do not, but I intend to found a school where every youth in the State may have the privilege of knowing what I do not know." The man that said that was Ezra Cornell, the founder of Cornell college.
Not long ago in a great western State there was also a man who was a member
of the State Legislature. This man once desired to be governor, but failed to have his desire satisfied. When he was in the legislature a bill came up to give an appropriation to an already established and very excellent school. In the course of the debate the gentleman said he would like to see the school buildings burn down, that he hoped the instructors would leave, and take the buildings with them. This man was Senator Kelly who never founded or was able to found anything.
Now which of these men would you rather be? whose name will live the longest and whose forethought will be the most admired.
Let us hope that Kansas has not very many men in this state of mind.
The cause of woman suffrage is being strongly considered by the Massachusetts Legislature this winter. The following is an extract from the Woman's Journal on the subject: "The woman's suffrage hearing before the Massachusetts special committee took place at the Green room on Thursday, Jan. 31, at 10 a.m. It surpassed in numbers all former hearings. This largest committee room in the State House was literally packed with eager listeners. The committee gave a three hours' hearing. The speakers were A. B Blackwell, Wm Floyd Garrison, Mrs. S. Fesseded, C. Carlton Collin, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Prof. w. H. Carruth, of Kansas and Miss Mary F. Eastman," Prof. Carruth has been making quite a reputation in and around Boston as a champion of woman suffrage and is much in demand as a lecturer before the league and unions, on the working and results of municipal suffrage in this State.
EDITOR TIMES: I know you hate to turn against the Faculty, but the TIMES is the students paper, and to you I bring my grievance. The right to praise implies the right to censure, and you have printed so many complimehts to our professors that you cannot refuse to let my criticism see the light.
The fault I have to find is with the English department. The head of this department is at times totally incapable of understanding his native tongue. I belong to the class in Advanced Composition, and I ought to know. I hand in the simplest little theme, consisting of very easy sentences, and it comes back all disfigured with interrogation points, and brisling with marginal questions, 'who?' 'when?' 'what do you mean by this?' and I get hard up and copy a Courier editorial he scores it more than ever.
He hasn't a particle of imagination, or he would have a better appreciation of my figures. Only the other day when I had written that public opinion would drive the liquor traffic to its hole, he wrote on the margin "I suppose that means a bung-hole" Any person of average intelligence would have known better than that. But it is just like this professor of whom Shakespeare wrote "He that kills me some half dozen themes before breakfast wipes his pen and says to his wife, lie on this easy life, I want work." But yesterday, or the other day before, he complained that the compositions were too tame—what he wanted was blood.
Now, Mr. Editor do you wonder that I feel as though I was taking my life in my hands when I got into that class? Lots of the boys feel just as I. Some of them have let me see their corrected themes, though, and I can't see but what the criticisms on them are alright. Only there seems to be something about my hand writing that makes Prof. Marsh lose his head. I don't see what it can be for I graduated from Gaskell's cornpendium not long ago.
KANSAN.
Perhaps the Professor holds to the antiquated tradition that people of genius never write legibly, and the beauty of my chirurgia has blinded him to the literary merit of my themes. He is misaken, but I forgive him. "To err is human, to forgive divine."

BLOOD ON THE MOON.
In another column will be found mention of the formation of a new Oratorical Association. The evolution in oratorical troubles seems to be "out of the frying pan into the fire."
The contest, however, between the two associations for supremacy, cannot be settled by windy words or long and laborious newspaper articles. It will be settled by votes to-day, at the State convention at Emporia.
Their choice will be ours.
"We shall see what we shall see, and until then the TIMES, as a students' paper, wishes Success—with a big S—to both of them.
Of course the old Association, rent asunder until lately by internal strife, will now stand together and make a strong fight for its further recognition as the representative Association of K. S. U. The new Association, composed of many of our best students, embracing about all the different factions in our University life, will set forth their claims for recognition, as they have a perfect right to do.
May they present their respective claims to-day before the convention of our sister colleges in the best possible light. And then let the Righteous triumph.
P. P. CAMPBELL, of Topeka, was in the city last Monday evening. In conversation with a TIMES representative, he stated that Senator Billy Buchan had consulted the esteemed journal clerk for advice concerning the University appropriations, and that he (Campbell) had used his influence to further the interests of the University. The TIMES believes it voices the sentiment of the University when it thanks the late Baldwin student for kindness so gratefully bestowed.
THERE is a harmony and unity about all great events. So it is not strange that the fourth oration was published in about four columns of the fourth issue of the Courier this year, and so forth.
The meeting called Tuesday was attended by a very large number of students of every faction. The meeting was called to order by E. E. Squires who moved that H. C. Riggs act as chairman. A. D. Kennedy was chosen secretary. The call for the meeting was then read. This call stated the object of the meeting to be an "Oratorical Association of the students of the State University of Kansas," as the present organization is not representative of the students. A committee of three was appointed to draw up a constitution. The committee soon reported and the constitution was adopted as reported with only a few changes. A committee of three was then elected to enroll those desiring shares. Culver, Hickey and Vorhik were the committee. The meeting then adjourned until 1 o'clock Wednesday, when the committee to register shares was in session. It was almost impossible for the committee to act, the crowd around being so eager to get shares. After twenty minutes hard work the shares were equitably allotted and the meeting called to order by Riggs. The minutes of Wednesday's meeting were read and approved. The share committee then reported the names of those who had been able to secure shares. Their report was adopted. The following officers were then elected: President, L. T. Smith; Vice-President, M. E. Hickey; Secretary, C. P. Chapman; 2nd Delegate, A. D. Kennedy; Chairman of the Executive Committee, E. M. Mumford. The other members of the executive committee are Voorhis and Leddeke. A. L. Burrow.
Shake! Here are our congratulations to the Righteous.
The association then endorsed F. E.
Reed for orator at Emporia, and G. M.
Culver for 1st delegate.
The executive committee was instructed to procure blank certificates of shares in order that all might be paid for by Thursday at 2 p. m.
The association then adjourned *sine* die.

An Evening at Haskell.
Last Saturday evening there was a gathering of the clius into the spacious chapel at Haskell Institute, to witness some amateur theatricals.
ter,
The event was the presentation by Russell Whitman, John Whitman and Hunt Gardner, of "Box and Cox" a farce well adapted for such an occasion, being simple and plenty of fun and a general deal of life and action in it. It was more over well presented and no one who was there could have ever afterward accused the dusky members of the audience of being stolid.
It was interesting to note how much of the play they seemed to understand; although it was the action that was most to them yet they seemed to "catch on" to the jokes in a way that was surprising. At first as the audience began to be interested the mouths would begin to open; by degrees, as the interest grew the mouths opened wider and wider until it was but a dusky sea of open mouths, then they would gradually close again. Human nature was too great to be restrained sometimes. During the dance between "Box and Cox" (which the Indians probably took for a war dance) there was a general uprising of the younger portion of the audience onto chairs, and a series of intermittent whoops resounded through the room. In short it was a very demonstrative audience from first to last. One could not help noticing, having seen the farce played before white audience, that the same points created the same impression in both, and that for it to be so the pupils of Haskell must be coming rapidly into the thoughts and manners of their teachers.
A. Call.
The following which was posted on the bulletin board at the University yesterday is the will of almost the entire student body:
A call for "meeting to organize an "Oratorical Association of the Students of the University of Kansas."
To be held in the Chapel at the end of the fourth hour.
1st. Of all the students of the University only twenty-five control this matter in which all are interested.
We, the undersigned students of the University of Kansas believe that the University is not represented by the present Oratorical Association for the following reasons:
3rd. Not one non-fraternity student carries or can secure a share in the present association.
2nd. We have asked that they expand the number of shares in the present association and they have positively refused.
4th. We discountenance the actions of all factions in that organization as not in accordance with the spirit of the University.
5th. We believe that the present unsettled state of affairs in that organization is not calculated to promote our interests in the coming contest at Emporia.
Therefore; We believe the interests of the University can best be served by a new organization based on principles equally as extensive as the following:
1. The stock to consist of fifty (50) shares.
11. At no time shall members of fraternities control more than one half of the shares.
III. All students regularly enrolled in the Department of Science, Literature and Arts shall have the right to vote for president, vice-president, secretary and second delegate.-Journal.
The Betas Entertain.
One of the most enjoyable social events of the year was the entertainment given last Friday evening by the gentlemen of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, to their lady friends.
Early in the evening their pleasant rooms were filled to overflowing with Betas and their guests, many having come from distant parts of the State and all seemed bent on having a good time. The early part of the evening was given to dancing, card playing and other so al'amusements until supper was announced, when all retired to the banqueting hall to partake of a sumptuous "Beta Dorg," prepared by the ladies of the Unitarian church which well merited the many compliments bestow d. After supper all returned to the hall where each persisted their favorite phantom until a late hour. The evening was closed by singing Beta songs, after which all joined hands in the traditional "mystic circle" and chanted their parting praises to Woogetin.
Those present were: Misses McGowan, of Humboldt, Cook, of Kansas City, Dailey, Scott Bartell, Lockwood, Hayes, Maxwell, Morris, Barker, Johnston, McKinnon, Mitchell, Crotty, Levy, Fullerton, Henshaw, Howe, Webster, Howard, Hadley, Miller, Merrill, Springer, Love, Webber, Manley, Sutliff, Messrs, Houk, of Hutchinson, W. T. Reed, of Newton, Beebe, Finch, Barnes, Whitman; Watson, Simpson, Davis, F. E, Reed, Smith, Buckingham, Bear, Brown, Cook, Caywood, Blaker, Ellison, Merril, Fullerton, Jacobs, Lutz, McKinnon, Morris, Poehler, Pickinging.
Athenaeum.
This society met last Friday night as usual there was a good audience in attendance, and the program was up to standard usually presented by the members. After this regular program the society elected Messrs. Hall, Wixon and Ross as members of the Executive Committee for the ensuing term. Mr. C. A. Peabody was elected Treasurer. After a little miscellaneous business, the society adjourned until to-night when the following program will be rendered:
Reading ... F. E. Edson
Declaration .. Fred McKinnon
Essay .. Will Wehe
Reading .. Miss Linley
Declaration .. Miss Corbin
Essay .. A. Fuller
Oration .. E. S. Meedle
Debate—Resolved. That after the disappearance of Sub-Freshman work in the University, compulsory attendance at classes should not be required.
Affirmative—Ross, Deverell.
Negative—Hadley, Sackett.
Fraternity Notes.
Syracuse is to have a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
Sigma Chi has entered the University of Minnesota.
Beta Theta Pi now has nine chaptars in Ohio the last one being recently organized at the Universitk of Cincinnati.
Within the past year Sigma Nu has established chapters at Cornell College Iowa, University of North Carolina, Columbia, Tuoho and Yale.
An effort is being made to break up the old system of class and department fraternities at Yale. Alpha Delta Phi has reorganized and will draw her membership from the classes in the Academic department, while Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Nu have organized this year, and will not restrict their membership to any one department but will try and draw from all.
"Suffice it to say that we were victorious in all our efforts — took men right away from the other frats—and now have a chapter of jolly good fellows that would make any Phi Psis heart rejoice to see. Although our boys are not society men yet they receive their share of favors from the ladies fraternities. Our strongest friends are, perhaps, to be found among the Pi Beta Phis." John A. Mushrush in Phi PSI Shield.
Dancing at the Merchants' Bank Building.
Prof. Ryan's Academy of Dancing open for ladies and gentlemen every Monday and Friday evenings. Ladies private class every Monday afternoon. Ladies and children's class every Saturday afternoon. Mr. Ryan teaches all the most fashionable dances, making a speciality of the Waltz and Reverse. Pupils can enter at any time, their term commencing with the first lesson. Classes are always open for beginners. References required. For further information concerning tuition, etc., address
J. Ryan. Lawrence House.
The Law Department.
There are four married men—Cantrell, Nelson, Sears and Stebbins—in the Senior class.
Hobbs had a case in the district court Tuesday.
There are seventeen fraternity men in the department out of an enrollment of fifty-two.
It is reported that a member of the Junior class went out snipe hunting with some friends one night last week.
The Seniors will take up "Real Property" next week under Prof. Greed. They will also have afternoon recitations in "Clyil Procedure" under Prof. Green.
The young man on the morning Journal is gifted with a civil imagination. This is shown by the legal maxims (?) which appear each morning at the head of the local column.
In the court Monday afternoon the question whether a valid mortgage could be given on a crop before it was planted was discussed on the affirmative by Harrington and Mitchell and on the negative by Enns and Spooner. The discussion brought out the fact that a valid mortgage could be given in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Vermont and New York, but that the contrary rule had been adopted in Kansas, Nebraska, Kentucky and Missouri.
Political Science Club.
As usual, a large audience was in attendance at the Political Science Club Friday evening.
The program was carried out in full. The doings of the present State Legislature were fully reported by Mr. Kenneday. In his opinion, the honorable body has as yet taken no action destined to illumine the pages of history.
The proceedings of the United States Senate and of the House were clearly discussed by Measrs. Burney and Armstrong respectively.
The report on finance was presented by Miss Eddy. This paper showed careful preparation and was most ably rendered.
The program closed with the discussion of Civil Service Reform by Hon. Edward Russell. The audience besides being greatly interested in this subject found Mr. Russell to be a most pleasing speaker.
The manner in which the subject was handled showed that the speaker was well versed in it.
The gist of Civil Reform is that true merit proven by competitive examinations, should supersede accident, chicery and wealth, in the choice of individuals to fill our various public offices
The duty of abolishing the present Spoils System and of supplanting it by a system founded on true merit, said Mr. Russell, is at the door of the young men and women of to-day. And to bring about this happy result requires a far higher type of valor than that exhibited before the cannon's mouth upon the fielp of battle.
One of the delightful features of the Sate University this winter, is the pleasant course of lectures delivered by various citizens of Lawrence before the Art class. Following the admirable and original criticisms of Prof. Blake upon, "Artist Illusious" a good audience assembled last Friday night to listen to a paper prepared by Mrs. Marsh on the character and work of Sir Joshua Reynolds. The writer referred to the agreeable associations that made such a striking background for the figure of the genial painter, and commented upon his industry and conscientious devotion to the principles that he advocated. She read many extracts from his lectures before the academy in which he strongly advises no laborous portation of nature, but the realization of the artists conception of the scene. In short, the idealization of nature Mrs. Marsh at this point evinced a desire to disagree with Sir Joshua, and her audience was somewhat disappointed that she did not more fully
Art Lecture.
express her own opulsion regarding his favorite theory. Progress often counts from distinct, and a fearless expression helps others toward formulating their own crude ideas.
It is feared that the public do not fully understand the welcome that is extended to them to be present at these lectures, and it is hoped that the next speaker, Mrs. Grubb, will be greeted by a full room.
University Library.
C. S. Gleed, Esq., is in receipt of letters from our Senators and Congressmen from this district, commending the request of the Regents of the University for increased library facilities. Senator Ingalls writes:
SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON, D.C., December 26.—Dear Mr. Regent: I am fully in accord with your views about the State University. Kansas should afford opportunities to learn commensurate with the desire to know, and no expenditure can be more profitable than that for the best books and for the most accomplished teachers. The higher the intelligence of the people, the more valuable will be our real estate; the better our crops; the more permanent our prosperity; the stronger our influence on the nation; the more elevated our position in the respect of mankind. The more generous the legislature in their appropriations for these purposes, the more prudent and economical they will be, and the more they will be approved by their constituents, for in matters of education the saying of Solomon is especially applicable:
"There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty."
"The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself."
By all means, therefore, let us have a great, strong, well-endowed University; a school of politics as well as of science and letters, where love of country and pride in its greatness shall be inculcated; where an intense Americanism shall be a part of the curriculum, and where the doctrines of sound finance, industrial independence and continental unity shall be vigorously expounded every day in the year.
"Truth is cheap whatever it costs, bu
heres is dear at any price."
Very truly yours,
JOHN J. INGALLS.
Mr. C. S. GLEED, Topcape.
Oil for more Ingalls!
Unity Club.
Unity club Monday night was delight fully entertained by Mrs. Whitman, who read an extremely good paper on Miss Alcott's life and work. This was illustrated by selections from her writings, especially 'Little Women' that record of the experience of the author and her three sisters, and enlivened by letters written by Louise to Mrs Whitman who was for some length of time a member of their family and in whom they never ceased to feel a warm personal interest.
The unpleasant weather doubtless prevented many from enjoying the lecture, although the room was well filled. A hope has been expressed that Mrs. Whitman will at a future time repeat the lecture.-Tribune.

Siberia.
The Chicago Tribune says:
"Siberia" is a romantic drama abounding in intense situations, thrilling tableaux and presented amid surroundings which admit of picturesque and striking scenic effects. It is an illustration of the turbulent days of Nihilism in Russia, and it portrays in a masterly manner of the intrigues of the times. Throughout the representation a tender story of the heart is told which supplies the pathetic element, and comedy of a kind which never fails to appeal to the keenest sense of the humorous is skillfully interpolated. A good company, appropriate costumes and scenery, and a careful observance and application of the local requirements as conceived by the author—these are the points upon which rest the success or failure of such a drama, and Manager McDonough has neglected none of them. The company is unexseptionable throughout.

A Suggestion.
Someone noticed last week that the K. S. U. yell was originated in the Science Club. One of the members of the Club who was a member at the time this cheer was discovered, would like to suggest that the original form was: 'Rah! 'Rah! Jay! Hawk! K! U! and that the Rock Chalk is an innovation of more modern times. He suggests that the original form, three times repeated, as was the custom, is a combination of sounds that can be uttered with greater explosive force and with better effect X Y Z

Dear Shrir—In April, 1885 I suddenly received notice that my ordination examination would be held in a foraight. I had only ten books, but the university should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but your system had so strengthened my natural aptitude to read and write that I give the gist of any book after reading it once. I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Harold, and successful in every one of the nine papers to the present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

Gus Dugar, a Baldwin hoodlum struck Mr. Lutz, a K. S. U. boy with a heavy cane while the K. S. U. car was passing through Baldwin. This Dugar aught to have a ball and chain put around his neck and be sank in a bottomless lake of brimstone, however, it is only a question of time.
The "Quid Nunc" is the name of a new sub rosa paper published at Baker University by some enterprising "doughnut". The "Quid Nunc" is a good thing in its way, and the impartial manner in which it slams faculty and students must be very refreshing to the seedy looking preps who attend that institution.
Harry Barnes met with a very painful accident last Tuesday. He was leaving the University at the end of the fourth hour, when he slipped upon the stone step of the building and fell, bruising and straining his leg so severely that he was unable to walk, and had to be carried home. No bones were broken, however, and it is hoped he will be able to resume his studies in a few days.
E. C. Franklin is furnishing the library with the Troy Chief, Sol. Miller's paper. The Chief is of special interest to K. S. U. people now, as it contains the European letters of Glen Miller, well known by all old students. Glen is on his way around the world, and at present doing Europe on foot, a ²ᵈa Bayard Taylor. His letters are written in his usual racy style, and there is not a prosy line in them. The last one of the series was from Genoa, Italy.
The much talked of Ananias club was organized last Tuesday evening. The object is to get together a limited number of jolly good fellows who have seen something of the world and who have a faculty of recounting their experiences. The meetings will be spent in songs and story-telling and in electing to honorary membership such promising liars as are brought to the notice of the club. The meetings are strictly secret and the club is not composed of any clique or faction. There is no end to fun in store for the members.
It would be a great favor to some of the students if the rack in which the library permits are placed was lengthened or else done away with altogether. If it is kept there is plenty of room in the library for several more than this method permits. But we think that it is a useless formality. There is never a time when there are more Juniors and Seniors, than the library will accommodate, who wish to enjoy its privileges. And even if such were occasionally the case it could be safely, left to their good sense and good manners not to overcrowd the library.
Wilson S. Kinnear, son of our townman, R. Kinnear, who has distinguished himself as as a civil engineer, and who has been for the past year in California, sailed Jan. 23rd from San Francisco for Chili, South America. He goes in the interest of a New York Syndicate to build six or seven hundred miles of railroad for the Chili Government. His wife is now visiting his parents here, and will leave shortly for her home in Ohio, and will sail from New York in the spring where she will join him.—Ottawa Republican.
Mr. Kinnear is an old University student of the class of '84. We are glad to note his advancement and hope his success in that distant land may be unbounded.
There was a good attendance last Friday night at the Philological Club. Miss Lockwood was elected a member of the club.
Philological Club.
Miss Merrill gave an account of Dr. Doellinger's late lecture on "American Literature." Dr. Doellinger declared that nations can no longer live their intellectual life alone, that what interests America also interests Germany, and discussed especially Cooper, Irving, Prescott, and Channing. In America there is no aristocracy, not even one of learning. The absence of a learned class, the absence of an official class, and the popular newspaper, are forces working against literature. In other countries the class of permanent office-holders gives support to literature, but in America office-holders often possess little culture, and they are constantly changing. The future of American literature depends largely on the solution of three problems The great corporations, the negroes, and foreign immigration.
Miss Hammett then spoke of Mr. Bryce's chapter of American Universities in his new book on the American Commonwealth. The American Universities, he says, are either private or public, the latter established, endowed, and governed by the States. Not more than twelve institutions would strictly come within the definition of a University. In some the range of subjects taught is too limited, and the corps of instructors, and the provision of laboratories, libraries, and other external appliances, entirely inadequate. Others differ from the gymnasia of Germany, the lyceses of France, and the public schools of England, only in the fact that they confer degrees and permit greater freedom to the students. Some Universities have reached the maximum in the freedom of choice of studies, while several leading ones and the smaller colleges cling to the old system of prescribed studies. There has been no special provision made for the promotion of research except by the Johns Hookins and Harvard fellowships. The prevalent opinion is that Universities are free, like the English, and popular, like the German. They will soon have greater funds at their command than the Universities of Europe, and the great Universities of the East, as well as one or two in the West, are already beinning to rival the ancient Universities of Europe.
Mr. Dumlap spoke of Mr. A. J. Ellis's paper on Volapuck, called forth by a letter from the American Philosophical Society to the English Philological Society asking their co-operation in perfecting a language for learned and commercial purposes. To accept this invitation would imply that Volapuk was useless As a matter of fact, Volapuk has thousands of adherents, and is growing rapidly. It is easy to acquire, and lends itself readily to expression. Mr. Ellis concludes that it is well-adopted for the purposes for which it was intended. The Society took no action on the American invitation.
Prof. Wilcox announced the discovery of a beautiful fragment of the Parthenon frieze, and its identification as the head of Iris by Dr. Waldstein of the American school at Athens.

OWING to an unusually large amount of copy for our last issue the report so carefully compiled by our arbitration committee was necessarily omitted. It was our intention to at least show our appreciation of the pains and trouble taken by our professors in assuming such a task, by publishing the report in this issue, but as the old association with which that dealt, is no more, we hope to be excused from disturbing the remains of an old, time-honored friend. We have taken the last look, bid him a long and affectionate farewell—let the weary bones rest in peace.
A KANSAS JOKER.
To the Editor of the Nation:
Sim—Your editorial regarding the anti-British resolution introduced into the Kansas Legislature by Mr. Poe, does that body and possibly Mr. Poe a great injustice. The resolution was introduced, but not adopted, much less "unanimously adopted." On the contrary it has been the occasion for much merriment with the members; and some of them begin to think that Mr. Poe, who is represented to be a sane person in most respects, has been making game of them and laughing in his sleeve at their discussions.
However, Mr. Poe may be in earnest. Not many years ago a member of the House objected to an appropriation for increasing the library of the University. "What do they want of more books?" said he. "I don't believe there is a man in the institution who has read all the books they now have." Another man objected to the increase of the faculty, declaring that they had in his county a man and his wife who could teach "the whole lot" of the students. But these are merely amusing phenomena—not representative of the Kansas Legislature, any more than Henry James' specimens are representative of American womanhood. If any one wishes to get a fairer notion of the practical quality of that body let him consider at Lawrence the noble beginning it has made for a great University. In addition to the splendid material "plant" characteristic of the West, there are 250 legitimate college students. a faculty of thirty, containing men from Berlin, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale, Williams and Dartmouth, and from which within five years, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell and Williams have drawn professors; and collections of great value—these in certain lines of Natural History unexcelled in America.
Senator Moody has introduced a bill which has been favorably reported, providing for a government of the University more like that of Ann Arbor, and which will remove the institution from danger of attack by Anglophobists or others above mentioned.
Very respectfully.

We are glad that our professor is keeping things straight at the other end of he line. He never lets an opportunity ass for putting in a good word for the University.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
The Corrier in its new organization has not only put some barbs' on its staff, but what is more to the purpose evidently, gives them a place in its columns. This we judge from some things therein that are hardly in the old stereotyped vein of its ordinary matter.
This is decidedly an improvement whether determined upon from questions of expediency or by the more liberal spirit of thinking others quite as good and wise as themselves. It is all right enough to have a little exclusive world for the use and benefit of the few who, like the Chinese can coax themselves with the idea that they are vastly superior to the outside barbarians and barbs' too, but it is apt to grow monotonous, especially to American youths whose ancestors have not been trained that way for long generations.
Besides it is much more creditable to represent the feelings and wishes of the many rather than of a select few, and the Courier has done wisely in departing from its former vain and exclusive policy of giving a hearing only to frats.

SENATOR EVARTS ACCEPTS
New York's Senior Senator Accepts the Invitation to Deliver our Commencement Oration Before the Literary Societies.
Early last term our Board of Regents took action whereby the Chancellor, instead of a joint committee from the literary societies, as heretoche, was to take all steps necessary to secure the best talent of the country to deliver the address before our literary societies. By this arrangement the societies are believed from all financial burdens. As a result of Chancellor Lippincott's efforts he last Saturday received a dispatch from John J. Ingalls to the effect that New York's Senator, William M. Evarts had accepted the invitation to deliver the University oration and address, before the literary societies during Commencement week, next June.
The Baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Rev, Dr. A. H. Tuttle, pastor of Mt. Vernon Methodist church of Baltimore, Md.
SATIS EST.
It is with some reluctance that we again open our columns to remark on the much mooted oratorical question, which must, to say the least, have long since become somewhat tiresome to all except those most directly interested. This time it is only to correct the impression, which seems prevalent in the minds of some, that the course pursued by a few in the recent rivalry for precedence in the State Oratorical Convention was pursued in the spirit of condemnation of the decision of the faculty committee in the local association. Such was not the intent of any parties that were interested in contesting Mr. Horton's seat in that convention. Such a contest arose simply from the fact, as was generally admitted, that Mr. Horton was elected as delegate by twelve of the twenty-five stockholders and therefore could not maintain his position as a legal representative of the association
According to precedent in the absence of any legal election, the executive committee appointed Mr. Bear as second delegate.
With these facts fairly presented, three-fourths of the legal delegate. As to the further action of the convention in throwing out the old association and recognizing the new, we believe we voice the sentiments of more than three-fourths of our students when we say it was an act the every tendency of which will be to "Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty" to the great student body of K. S. U. Then so be it. The great majority are satisfied and with justice and fairness at the hands of those now in control we believe all will soon fall into line. Then here is our hand for PEACE.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY
men, the better will be the society of Kansas. The better the society, the less of crime, of poverty and want. How many of the young men and women who have graduated at the State University, would have had a college education, if they had been compelled to go to Cornell or Harvard, to have obtained it? Not one in ten. When Senators talk of burning the University they are sowing seeds of anarchy. When they talk of allowing Harvard, to get all the best qualified educators, they are appealing to the lower station of society or the lower and coarser elements of the make up of each individual of higher civilization. When they talk about it being better to send children from Kansas to Cornell or Harvard, than to a first-class college at home, they are simply talking nonsense. Help the University and let us educate the children of Kansas at home—Clay Center Dispatch.
There seems to be a disposition on the part of a great many members of the legislature, to "sit down" on appropriations to the educational institutions of the State. The State Normal got a black eye last week at the hands of the house. We hope and trust that this spirit of reform or economy, as they delight to call it, will have vanished before the appropriation for the State University comes up for hearing. While we do not believe that this is the year to make large appropriations for buildings, curiosities, or in anything of that kind, we do believe that a good liberal appropriation should be made the University, to supply it with the things necessary to help it on toward what every true Kansan would like to see it become—one of the best colleges in the United States. The better the college the more students that will be in attendance. The more siu dents in attendance the more educated men and women we will have in the State. The more educated men and wo-
As long as such sentiments are abroad in our State the legislature cannot fail to respond to the modest call of our honorable Board of Regents.
HOPE AND JOY
Hope and joy on a summers day
Went gliding o'er the feathery spray;
Hope was bright and joy was gay,
And happy were they that summerdays
"Down the river they pailed their way;
Down the river without delay,
And smiling ripples chaffed their spray
To keep them cool that summers day;
And the birds in plumes of bright array
Sung sweeter songs that summerdays,
And that the air of balmy May
With Nature sweetened their sway
And the waters soumed to lend their sway
And formed a canopy they say
To hide the sun's bright piercing ray
And keep them cool that summerdays
A gentle zophee blew that day,
Cool and moist with feathery spray,
sweetly perfumed on the way
With beautious flowers, with colors gay
That chad the banks along the way
In nook and crook and each relay,
And everywhere in heaps they lay
For nature laid prepared the way
For hope and joy that summers day
THE LEGISLATURE.
To one unacustomed to the habits and peculiarities of a legislative body, there is much of interest in our Kansas Solons.
They may be found almost any evening, in great throngs, in the waiting rooms of the Windsor or Copeland hotels, wreathed in dense clouds of tobacco smoke, and always supplied with a sufficient amount of "Climax Plug" to keep them sociable and make them spit fluently. With such genial surroundings there is a feast of wit and flow of soul. Everybody is everybody else's friend. It's "hail fellow, well met," and a genuine Democracy prevails, to which the haughty and clever yield alike, and all rejoice together. Thus they chat; some telling "stale jokes" and laughing at them themselves; some discussing great governmental questions (for the benefit of the ignorant "crowds"—and to show their learning); while others are shrewdly, silently, but earnestly and persistently "working" for some pet "bill" which they expect to get "passed," and thus gain the approbation of their dear constituents and be "returned" in two years to do the same thing over again.
bines, schools, colleges, Universities economy, hard times, crops and the weather.
Upon entering this jovial crowd one quickly loses the awe with which he had been filled in contemplation of a legislative body. He finds himself among a crowd of ordinary mortals—the best natured fellows in the world—people whom everybody likes in spite of their faults and shortcomings. But if the observer stays long among them he will find that in the smoke and tobacco some of the brightest minds of Kansas are at work formulating ideas, from which, comes the laws of our State. For indeed from scenes like this come the advanced ideas which make our beloved Kansas take a front rank in every movement of reform and progress; or at least, through this the idea, of our people must pass before they become laws. Here they take definite form, are put together and are afterwards adopted at the session in the State House. Here are discussed all that is of importance to our people. Interest laws, mortgage laws, trusts, com-
Here we are confronted by the question, all important to us: "What will this body do in the way of appropriations to our University?"
We should naturally be anxious about this matter, but there are two points of view. The one is that which we, who have been connected with the University, hold. We want for our institution everything that will advance it to perfection—first class everything. On the other hand there are sections of the State which have suffered greatly from failure of crops. The people there cry out against the most necessary taxation and would shut off almost all appropriation if possible. Under such circumstances a compromise can be the only result.
But the legislature has always treated the University kindly and we need not be alarmed now. It considers the University as a part of our great and growing State and will advance it as fast as the material progress of the State will permit. The legislature also recognizes the University as the crowning feature of our great common school system and every legislator and loyal Kansas has a pride in believing that in the University, Kansas will ultimately possess the Harvard of the west. With such a feeling our legislature will not cripple it by unduly short appropriations.
In many respects it is extremely fortunate that the University is located at Lawrence, but it is to be regretted that all the State institutions of learning were not gathered together around the State Capital, that our legislators might become more thoroughly acquainted with the growth and needs and that the youth of our State might gather enthusiasm, patriotism and wisdom from mingling with the law givers of their time.
it is said that several Washburn and Baker students, upon beholding the tac of some of our representatives in the State Convention, expressed their intention of taking a course in the Political Science department of the University.
FUNNIEST SHOW ON THE ROAD.
The "Postage Stamp" Comedy Company Makes a Big Hit in Williamsport.
The funniest show on the road is the "Postage stamp" comedy company. At least such is the unanimous verdict of Williamsport play-goers and newspaper critics. The Academy was packed from orchestra to gall-rhy last Tuesday night and scores of persons were content to stand and hold their aching slides through the three unproarious acts. Indeed, this company had the best house of the season and made a big hit here. This is remarkable, too, from the fact that election night has always been considered a bad night for a show in Williamsport. In the first place it is a farce-comedy, chock full of sweet melodies, pure wit and humor, ludicrous situations, and attractive features. In the next place it is so constructed and presented as to catch and win favor at once. It is a very strong and evenly balanced company and can't fail to please any audience that enjoys fun. The scenes at Duckfoot's farm, the village store and the church fair are very amusing and well staged. The costumes are new and handsome. The cornet playing of Edward E. Nickerson, and the xylophone selections of John B. Willett stamp them as artists in their lines. The Black Hussar Military band, accompanying this show, is one of the best that has ever appeared here and hard to beat anywhere. D. J.

At Emporia.

To a middle-aged man or woman, who yet retains a recollection of youth and its generous ambitions and unworn enthusiasm, there could be no more inspiring spectacle than the contest at Emporia o Friday night, and its surroundings. It is not often in the year that one sees such a gathering of hearty-voiced young fellows, and such graceful and bright-faced young women; such rivalry and yet such good humor, and such unchecked yet innocent merriment; and in short, gets in the midst of such a "jolly row." The high old name of the engagement which was fought out at Emporia was the "Sixth Annual Contest of the Kansas Oratorical Association.
The "field" was the Hotel Whitley and the Whitley opera house, which are opposite to each other. All the sights and sounds of the contest centered in these two places, and it was worth a thousand days of common life to see and hear it all. The "boys" held the office, the girls the parler upstairs, and there was a good deal of promenading up and down stairs, by "joint committees" of both sexes, and agrand crowd at the supper table. Of course, as on the occasion of the "hop," given on the night before the battle of Waterloo, "soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again," with the variation that in the midst of the looking, the male party was apt to break out in an eustatic cry of "Brewster!" "Baker!" or "Rock Chalk, Jay-hawk, K. U." the last warwhoope of the State University. Of course badges were as thick as leaves in Vallambrocca, or Arkansas or any timber country, the yellow for Emporia college, the entertainers; the blue of Washburn, the white of Baker and so on.
The fun really began with the arrival of the trains late in the afternoon with the delegations of students and visitors from Lawrence, Tepeka, Baldwin City and Ottawa. Many visitors came from the west on the early afternoon train, but in the language of a former federal official in Kansas "the whole thing calumaniated" when the gas was lit at the Hotel Whitley, and the hotel was filled "allow and aloft" with the young folks."
To the old stagers, accustomed to the crowds at political convention; where the axe is brought to sharpen and the toll worn grindstone turns, the sight of the "boys" in oratorical association assembled; so many smooth faces, so many musches taking their first view of a world filled with razors of all sorts, and the sound of such a multitude of eager voices, was like the sight of springing wheat and pench blossoms, compared with a shorn and sunburned stubble field. If it had not been ridiculous for anybody to be said in such a place, the veteran could easily have grown melancholy in thinking of what the despoiler, Time, had in store for them; how these lithe, straight figures would grow bubulous and sway backed, and these bright eye-glaeses and spectacles and goggles, and these open-dunged chaps become secretive and malicious, and prowl around in dark corners and "get even" with folkies; and in short the whole outfit turn to "staeesmen" and a burden to themselves and the earth. But then up-stairs, where the girls looked over the staircases railings, or gathered about the piano, or the favorite "Mr. Baldwin," or "Mr. Rock Chalk," there was so much to do in the way of description, that this confounded old stub penil refuses to perform its office.
There was a grand and glorious rush for tickets. It was difficult to understand the arrangement, on which the tickets were distributed, and perhaps there was none, but after a great deal of trading and chaffering, and in many instances generous giving up of places to ladies and strangers, everybody and everybody's lady got places by purchase at the box office or otherwise. There was a continuous wide stream of people pouring into the opera house until the gallery and parquet and boxes were filled, but not the stage. It was left for the president and the piano, and the orators, and the singers who came and went. This was a good notion. It is the abomination of desolation to crowd the plat
form, and have the orator feeling that he must talk to an audience behind as well as before him, and feeling all the while that a hundred pair of eyes are glaring at the small of his back. The distinguished guests sat in the wings.
There was no band or orchestra t play the overature from "Poet and Peas ant."
The first oratory heard was that of H. P. Hilbard, of the Emporia College, who delivered the address of welcome, briefly and sensible. It was different from the ordinary welcoming address which begins the dinner with custard and too much of that.
The first oration was that of Mr. Frank E. Reed, of the Kansas State University, Mr. Reed's was "Limited Immigration." Mr. Reed spoke in a clear straightforward manner, and kept in the middle of the road as far as his argument was concerned. He seemed convinced that foreign immigration to these shore was an unmixed evil, and that it was his duty to say so. He wanted no Chinese, nor did he indicate that he wanted anybody else. It was a very clear and consistent speech of the "Native American" order.
Mr. W. II. Isley of Ottawa, spoke on "Our Antagonist our Helper." Mr. Isley had the disadvantage of a worn theme, and a voice not naturally strong but spoke with what might be called a "sad sincerity," on the advantage of opposition in this world, an advantage of which it may be said it may be enjoyed cheaply and in abundance.
Mr. Wm. Parsons of the Emporia College, delivered an address, "Ireland's Oppressor America's Enemy" which while deficient in delivery, was somewhat remarkable in its subject and its treatment Mr. Parsons whose features indicated that he was descended from an ancestor who at Newton-Butler smote the Catholic Irish even as Israel smote Amalex, believed that the British government is a good one and that the curse of Ireland is the Pope and his priests, who are also enemies of American liberty. Ireland, he maintained, owes her misfortunes to Irishmen, who bow down to the Vatican. This, of course, did not meet the views of those who believe the curse of Ireland is quarreling about religion, and in Irishmen cracking each others skulls on the 12th of July about the battle of the Boyne, feight two hundred years ago. Mr. Parson's oration was very well written.
The hopes of a good portion of the audience was evidently centered on Mr. H. B. Foster, of Baldwin University, whose subject was "The Crisis" Mr. Foster had the advantage of those who had preceded him, in apparently greater age and more robust physique and voice. He was the first, too, who showed the results of clocutionary training. His voice was quite molliodous. As to his theme it was colored with the same "dim religious light as its predecessors a belief in a beneficent, Supreme Being, who governs the world, but who may allow the United States to be destroyed by a combination of Herr Most and the Pope, if we are not all very careful.
A kindly interest was manifested on the appearance of Mr. G. I. Adams, the represcient of the State Normal School and the youngest man on the program. The appearance of the fair-haired youth, eighteen, we believe, in fact, but looking sixteen, was the signal for very hearty and general applause, and all listened with great interest to what he had to say about "Standing on our Father's Shoulders;" his address was practical, and sympathetic, and his gestures were natural and graceful.
Then came Brewster, and a great demonstration from the wearers of the blue. The hope of Washburn, as he sat waiting, seemed to have, seen from the back of the house, a cast of countenance not unlike early pictures of Edwin Booth. In any event the speaking eye, the long, lean mobile actor's face, were there. His theme being "Progress and its Agencies," he made progress as he went along, and finally woke a cheer that took in, not his friends alone, but the whole house, and toward the last this applause became frequent. It was evident he was a winner. He spoke of hope and a better day certain, unlike the others, who seemed to think the country proceeding
to infinite evil by a diagonal cut across the fields. When he closed there was no doubt about the result.
Then the judges were called for, and the president, Mr. Mushrush, left the platform, calling Vice President Foster to the chair, and the "Cherubs" sang.
There had been music at the evening. The company had listened to the full, round, satisfactory voice of Miss Madge Overstreet, and to the big "Washburn Glee Club," who were recalled, and to the robust voice of Prof. Zartman, but the Cherubs: Cherub Townsley and Cherub Chamberlain, and Cherub Platt, and Cherub Donnell, set everything aging, and while the great crowd waited for the verdict, the "Cherubs" sang, and one of the listeners wondered why a supposed-to be merciful Providence condemned him to listen to the strained, cracked, screechers and whoopers, who fill the orchestral stage, white such voices as, say, Cherub Chamberlain's are lost to the world. After the "Cherubs" came the Baker University quartett, and then a sudden stillness, and—not the judges, but President Mushurh, with their decision, Mr. Frank E. Reed had taken the second prize and Mr.A.W. Brewster, of Washburn college the first, and then "uprose so wild a yell," and we forget the rose of the quotation, and the house rang and the blue banner of Washburn was waved frantically from a private box, and it rained and stormed and blew handkerchiefs Then "broke" the meeting, and flocked down the stairs and across the street to the Whitty and into the office, and up the stairways and into the parlor and in the corridors an exceeding multitude, and Brewster stood in the midst, and old men and young men, and old women and young women, an exceeding number, too numerous to be enumerated, fell upon his neck and wept, and there rose a sound as of the voice of many waters, of "Brewster!" "Brooster!" "Broos-tah!" [Here the wire broke.]—State Journal.

State Oratorical Contest.
No better school can be found for the training of the youthful politician than a few days' service as a delegate to one of these conventions. He learns lots, and often comes away "a sadder but wiser man."
The sixth annual convention of the State Oratorical Association was no exception to its predecessors. The delegates were a fine body of representative students, and did honor to the institutions they represented. Their love and pride for their respective colleges was only equal to their desire for the lion's share of the "spoils," and to harmonize these conflicting interests, and bring order out of chaos, requires us a rule. two days and one long and dreary night of button-holing, reasoning, caucusing, scheming, palvering and honeyeting, getting mad and glad again, condemning and praising, and what not. But when at last the convention meets to do the work, Justice—with a big J—generally prevails, and everybody and each institution receives their just due. For students seldom let their selfish ambition blind their sense of right. And so it was at Emporia Saturday, about everyone leaving in good humor, feeling well satisfied with the result.
President Mushrush called the convention to order at 5 a'clock Friday evening, in one of the assembly rooms of the Emporia college. Secretary Harker reported that the seat of second delegate of Kansas State University was claimed by two representatives from that institution—R. A. Horton and H. F. M. Bear.
A committee on credentials was then appointed, consisting of the first delegate from each college. After about an hour's session, the committee brought in a unanimous report, declaring H. M. F. Bear to be the second delegate from K. S. U Mr. Horton asked that he might be allowed to present his case to the convention, before the report was voted upon. It was agreed that both the contestants should be allowed to present their claims before the report of the committee was taken up. As it was now about 7 o'clock the convention adjourned until 8:30 the next morning, to meet in the parlorso of the Whitley hotel.
It was after nine o'clock the next morning when President Mushrush called the convention to order. The report of the committee on credentials was then taken up. Mr. Horton made a brief defense of his claims, stating that he had his credentials from Mr. Johnson and Mr. Snow, and if they were not the legal president and secretary of the University association, he could go back and secure credentials from previous presidents and secretary's. As the State Constitution provides, that if there is doubt as to the present officers of the local association, that delegates shall be seated. who shall present credentials form the previous president and secretary.
Mr. Bear then laid his case before the convention. He stated that he stood by and honored the recent faculty decision, as much as did his friend, Mr. Horton. But, that accepting the faculty decision, by the minutes of the meeting, in which Messrs. Johnson and Snow were elected, it was found conclusively that there was not a quorum present, and therefore, they were not the legal president and secretary of the association. Then our State Constitution says, go back to the previous officers. Mr. Horton might have credentials from the previous president, but that he (Bear) had credentials from Mr. Street, whom he claimed was the previous secretary. Here, then, is a state of affairs, which our State Constitution does not cover.
What shall he do? Mr. Bear, then, presented his credentials from Messrs. Kellogg and Street, of the executive committee. He stated that the delegates from K. S. U. were seated last year at Baldwin, bearing credentials signed by this committee; that Mr. Culver had been seated in this convention, on the same credentials as he now presented, and that for these reasons he asked to be recognized.
After a short debate, the report was adopted and Mr. Bear seated by a vote of 8 to 3.
The convention then went into the amendment business. Many were adopted and several lost. About the only change of consequence being, that a delegate to the Inter-State can be chosen from the same college from which the orator comes.
The question of recognizing the "Students association of the Kansas State University" next came up. The justice of this claim was soon recognized, and President Mushrush, seemingly in the last agonies of death, announced that it had received the necessary two-thirds vowe—9-3—and was admitted. G. M. Ulver and A. D. Kennedy were recognized as the delegates from the new association and at "once took their places on the floor, and the old thirteen was no more." The constitution was so amended so that no orator can be recognized by the State association except those coming from the local associations, holding charters from the president. Thus after being killed, was the old and proverbial unlucky thirteen consigned forever to the tomb.
The officers of the association for the ensuing year were elected as follows, with but little contest; President, J. A. Hyden of Baker University; vice president, Mr. Creighton of Emporia Normal; secretary and treasurer, J. M. Parrington, of Emporia college. First delegate, F. E. Reed, of Kansas State University; second delegate, Robert Stone of Washburn; third delegate, M. H. Boomer of Ottawa University. The officers are well selected. And with Brewater at the head, Kansas sends a good delegation to Grinnell, Iowa. Mr. Stone of Washburn is a fine appearing man, and would do honor to any college. He is editor of the Washburd Reporter, and a strong friend of the students of K. S. U. All through the convention, he worked with Culver, Bear and Kennedy, and it goes without saying, that he has the thanks of the students for it.
Lawrence was decided upon as the place for holding the next annual contest. A resolution of thanks to the present officers was passed for their able discharge of their duties and the convention adjourned.
The Wesleyan College of Salina, was admitted into the association by a unanimous vote, and next year will have an orator on hand.
Mr. Boomer was not at the convention, but we understand, as his name implies, he is all right, and will help to boom up Kansas in the Inter State.
In the name of the students of K. S. U., we thank the delegates of Baker, Ottawa and Emporia College, and Mr. Stone of Washburn for their noble treatment of our cause. Welcome to Lawrence, next year

Law Department.
The shamful way in which the law department has been neglected in the past in the distribution of the legislative appropriation for library supplies has led to a pretty general demand on the part of the friends of that department that the legislature specify in the library appropriation this year what portion of the fund shall be for the law department.
Eighteen members of the Junior class skipped their recitation last Friday to hear the evidence in the case of the State vs. Thaddeus Stevens, in the District Court.
It is time that steps were taken to secure some one to deliver the address before this department on Commencement Day. With such eminent attractions as Senator Evarts and Rev. Tuttle, billed for that week, the Law department stands a good show to be lost sight of unless some eminent lawyer is chosen for this position who can hold his own against these counter attractions. There are about fifty members of the department, certainly enough to secure some eminent representative at a very small cost to each member.
Mr. Willis Finfrock complains that the article in the Times of February 1st in relation to his giving up his law studies and devoting his time to the reformation of the institution of marriage does him a rank injustice. He further alleges that the said article was the work of one William Herdman and he has appealed to the moot court to right his wrongs by giving him damages against Mr. Herdman. The case will be held in the law room this evening before Prof. Green, Hobbs and Nelson appearing for Mr. Finfrock and Hartington and Wade for Mr. Herdman. The case will be tried before a jury selected from the students and faculty. It is rumored that some of the members of the faculty can give some racy testimony if they see fit.
The Times called attention last week to the fact that some young man on the Journal had a very vivid imagination and that he gave it full swing when he came to write his legal maximis for his local columns. Since then we have noticed that a number of State papers have called attention to the same fact, and advised the young man not to be quite so reckless in his (mis) statements.
Unity Club.
Mr. W. M. Hayes favored the club Monday night with an essay on "Three Stars" - Emerson, Whittier, Longfellow. He dwelt upon the expression that these poets had given, each in his own way, to love for God, for nature and for man; and illustrated his point by reading numerous selections from their works.
During the social hour Mr. B. W. Woodward told a true story concerning an elephant. This beast had been taught to read, and had acquired a knowledge of a vast body of literature; his favorites in the various departments of letters were Tupper, Nasby, Josiah Allen's Wife, Amelie Rives, Dr. Johnson (whose elephantine style was particularly congenial), Mathew Arnold, and, above all, the German metaphysicians. After much study the elephant grew proud of his attainments, but his master took all the conceit out of him by handing him a copy of Robert Browning's poems. The unhappy beast, maddened by unsuccessful effort to comprehend them, committed suicide by flinging himself over a convenient precipice.

The Young Tragedian Upon Whom the Mantle of Booth Has Fallen.
CRESTON CLARKE.
Mr. Creston Clark, the young tragedian, is destined to become a great actor. It is born in him, and nothing short of a miracle can keep the mantle of Edwin Booth from falling upon his shoulders. He possesses every requirement of a successful tragedian—a most perfect conception of the character he assumes, an acquaintance with Shakespeare and the other great masters that is refreshingly interesting, a voice which is at once powerful and sweet. a pronunciation which in many respects very much resembles that of Booth, and a carriage which is full of grace and naturalness Who is responsible for this sudden transition of a youth of comparatively small experience to a rising young tragedian Inherited genius and an ambitious mind determined to reach the goal of its ambition. For Creston Clarke is ambition and more than determined to fill the place too soon to be made vacant by the retirement of his uncle, the incomparable Edwin Booth, the tragedian of the age With all of his natural advantages. Creston Clark has the good will and hearty cooperation of Mr. Booth, who, as might be supposed, is anxious to leave a legitimate successor behind. Ever since the young man entered upon his professions career he has been steadily coached by his uncle with the one idea that he shall become his successor.
Creston Clarke will appear at the opera house in Han.let next Wednesday night. Seats on sale Monday morning.
A Surprise Party.
On Thursday evening of last week Prof. Miller was made the happy "victim" of a surprise party. It was perpetrated by the members of his Sunday school class and was a complete surprise to the professor. So completely were the plans arranged and carried out in cooperation with the other members of the family that the professor had not the slightest intimation of what was about o happen. However, he was not long to be deceived, and was soon bidding all welcome in his own pleasant and congenial manner. After all had arrived an elegant supper was served, which was relished by all present. The evening was spent in conversation and social amusements and the fleeting hours swiftly winged their way with pleasure. Altogether it was a most delightful occasion and will be long remembered by all those present.

Dear Sir:—In *April*, 1885 I suddenly received notice that my ordination examination would be held in a fora tight. I had only ten minutes to prepare the application, should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but your system had so strengthened my maturation, that it was not necessary to give the gist of any book after reading it once, I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Harold, and John C. W. Moore, and was successful in every one of the nine supers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

The board in school district 99 (Merram) by unanimous vote of the people last Saturday, extended the term of school two months. This is a convincing proof of the respect in which Miss Nannie L. Anderson, their efficient teacher, is held, as heretofore, in many cases the Merriam school has been badly broken into by the patrons of the school disagreeing and withdrawing scholars. Miss Anderson ranks among the first of our Johnson county teachers, and in the management of the Merriam school has added new lurels to her already well established reputation as a teacher.—Ola-the Mirror
By the recent action of the Kansas House the appropriation for the maintenance of the State University was cut down by almost one-third, in pursuance of a spirit of economy which seems to pervade the present Legislature. Yesterday a motion to reconsider the bill carried, and it was reinstated on the calendar. It is to be hoped that when it comes up again it will pass as introduced and without any reduction. It is poor economy to cripple an institution like the Kansas University for the sake of saving to the tax-payers a few thousand dollars. It is one of the things of which Kansas has a right to be proud, and the people of the State are interested in seeing it advanced to the rank of an institution of learning which the University of a great State like Kansas should occupy. Its machinery should be made so efficient that no son or daughter of Kansas should be compelled to leave the State to secure the advantages of higher education, and this necessity will be obviated if the University is properly supported.—K.C. Star.

Blindness
It is strange how blind some of the members of the literary societies are. The programs are posted on the bulletin board, where they pass them every day, and yet when Friday night comes, they are not prepared, giving as an excuse, many times, ignorance of their being on the program. The societies can not be made interesting with such persons as members. If a person does not expect to be an active member, let him stay out and not be a drag to the society. It is a shame that some are run into the societies for no other reason it seems than political purposes. Let every member open his eyes, and come up Friday night prepared to do his part and our societies will not languish.

THE UNIVERSITY BILL.
It Passes Both Houses and we are Fairly Satisfied--- The Moody Bill.
Late last week the University appropriation bill was recommended and passed by the legislature. When the members had finished cutting it down the bill was as follows:
salary of chancellor, $3,000; salary or professor of natural history, $2,500; dean of law department, $2,500; salaries of fifteen professors, $28,000; salary of dean of music department, $600; salary of eleven assistants, $10,000; for salary of librarian and assistant, $800; salary of clerk and bookkeeper. $1,200; salaries of superintendent engineer and janitors, $8,355; for fuel, lights and firemen, $2,350; for engineer and mechanics, electrical engineering, $900; for night watchman $450; for care of grounds, $400; for labor in laboratories, $600; for chemicals, $700; for additions to cabinets in natural history, $1,000; for maps and charts, $500; for advertising and postage, $600; for care of meteological apparatus, $720; for care of museum and collections of specimens, $500; for geological museum and preparation of specimens, $500; for labor in taxidermy, $600; for water supply, $500; for janitor's supplies and material, $700; for office expenses, freight, etc., $500; for steam heating repairs, $300; for blackboards, $100; for additions to the library, $6,000; for apparatus in the department of chemistry, $500; for apparatus in the department of pharmacy, $150; for apparatus in the department of physics and electrical engineering, $3,000; for microscopes and accessories in the department of natural history, $550; for cabinet cases in the department of natural history, $1,250; for water tank in Snow Hall, $175; for fire hose, reels, etc., $1,000 for repairing foundation of main building, $8,000; for tools and supplies in taxidermy, $300; for drain pipe, north side of boiler house, $60; for carpet for rostrum, University hall, $90; for matting, $230; for coal house, $500.
The total allowed the institution for the coming year is $84,870; which is $41,
000 less than was asked for in the bill.
Among the items cut out of the bill as originally introduced were the following: Two instructors in art, $1,000; for carpenter, $720; for steam coils in Snow Hall, $1,700; steam pump and fixtures, $650; for coating steam pipes, $800; piano $600; models for department of art, $200.
On the whole considering the general financial condition of the state we have very little reason to complain, although we might have desired a little different apportionment of the various appropriations. Yet, we ought to be satisfied as the sum total ($84,870) is considerable more than we have ever before received.
From the latest accounts we learn that the Moody Bill is progressing finely, and the only points hindering its immediate passage are a few minor amendments upon which the House and Senate fail to agree.
The value of the above motto to a student (or anybody else) can hardly be overestimated. It should be worked on cardboard and hung up in every office, school room, and family sitting room in the land. Parents can hardly begin too early to impress its importance upon the childish mind. The teaching should be at first by example, as soon as the child can talk, by precept. A little later, he should be introduced to the old school reader (we all know it) which contains such awful warnings against the thief of time. A delay of five minutes in the arrival of a reprieve has been known to cause the death of an innocent man; even a tardiness of one minute, causing the loss of a train, may exercise a balefal influence over the whole future of the procrastinator.
BE ON TIME.
Let these considerations once be firmly
impressed on the facile mind of youth, and exemplary promptness can not but result. Who would put off till to-morrow what ought to be done to-day, when he reflects that the intervening twenty-four hours is a period sufficient to make him miss fifteen hundred trains—to cause the sacrifice of three hundred men. Surely the contemplation of such facts can not fail to arouse in the most thoughtless spendthrift of time a sensation of awful responsibility. How much effect should they have then, upon a body of students who are laying the foundation stones of their characters. I trust that all students who read this will repent of the many minutes they have wasted in loitering from class to class, especially when they consider this amount at compound interest, from the time the student entered until the present date. A word to the wise is sufficient. KANSAN.
No one ever expected that the "late unpleasantness" between our factions could be brought to a final issue without a woeful wall from those whose hopes were blasted. And no one was disappointed or surprised (when the source was considered) at the ease with which accusations of broken promises, lack of honor and honesty were hurled at "the victors through the columns of our contemp." Although we consider our purpose a laudable one—one which would secure the best results to the greatest number of the students of K. S. U.—yet we never for one moment expected all of our opponents to calmly submit without attempting to malign the character of the successful ones. Remove the feeling of chargin and defeat which brands such assertions as malicious and untrue and a meek, harmless spirit is all that remains.
We feel in duty bound to make the above explanation for the sake of K. S. U's fair name in college journalism. We would not have any of our exchanges infer that we had a class of students here who would intentially assail the name of their fellow-students except under these extraordinary circumstances when angered by defeat. But for this we would not have taken notice of remarks so easily interpreted by our students.
---
The complimentary notice given by the State Journal of Topeka, to Prof. Sayre's paper on loco weed, read at the last meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Association at Detroit is worthy of attention. It seems rather strange that there should be the least difficulty in getting money from the State through some of its boards, for the purpose of carrying out investigations such as those Professor Sayre has offered to superintend. But there does seem to be difficulty. The State would not be ungrateful perhaps if the Professor would conduct the experiments upon herbiverous animals at his own expense. But it is a question if it will even see the advantage in sharing the expense with him. Prof. Sayre has shown that the State of Colorado spent $300,000 on this weed, basing the expenditure on the hearsay evidence of non-scientific men. If our State would place but one thousand dollars at the disposal of Professor Sayre for the purpose of carrying out some physiological experiments in the field right in the heart of the Loco region, it would do more to the settlement of this mooted question of the poisonous properties of this weed than all the $200,000 spent by the State of Colorado. As to the practical result of the settlement or the question we would quote from one of the recent scientific contemporaries "The subject is one of vast and growing importance. Not only is the area over which the weed is indigenous a very large one, embracing many thousand square miles but it is one towards which the population is flowing in mighty streams; and while the numbers of horses and cattle are not likely to increase in the same proportion as in the past, the value of the individual animals carried thither (or which would be carried thither were it not for the Loco) is vastly increasing each year to costly and improved stock. Hence it is of vital importance that the true nature and character of the weed should be definitely settled by competent investigators, provided with all the aids and apparatus necessary." We learn that Professor Sayre has provided himself with the very best talent in veterinary science, gratuitously offered to aid in furthering his work. It should be stated that Professor Sayre gives his time and takes that time given for recuperation and study during the summer holidays.
We present herewith an extract from the proceedings—embodying a resolution and the discussion thereon—of the Pharmaceutical Association which met at Detroit;
Mr. J. L. Thompson, of Nashville, Tennessee, presented the following resolution at the American Pharmaceutical Association held at Detroit, Michigan, in September last:
WHENRAS, The able and interesting paper presented to the association by Prof. L. E. Sayre, of the Kansas State University, shows that he has made extensive investigation of the properties of the loco weed, and that still further investigation and experiment will prove of great value to the state of Kansas, and the other states in which the weed grows; therefore be it
Resolved. That the American Pharmaceutical association recommend to the legislatures of the aforesaid states that they give Prof. Sayre their hearty endorsement and support for further investigation of loco poisoning.
Mr. Thompson - The reason I introduced the resolution is because Prof. Savre has carried on the investigation at his own expense, and I think that the endorsement of this association may act as an inducement for the legislatures to make appropriations in order that Prof. Sayremay carry out the work to a further point for the public good.
Mr. Alexander—There is no difficulty about sending forth a resolution of this kind, but whether it will be acted on by these states or not is another question. I think we ought at least to give Prof. Sayre the benefit of our endorsement, and then if he can get some of his expenses refunded to which he has been subjected, it will be no more than justice to him.
Mr. Painter—I hope the association will adopt it unanimously. There is a large amount of work to be done in this line, as shown by the report, and the work is incomplete. If the states would make a liberal appropriation they could make his work more complete than it would be otherwise. I hope it will be unanimously supported.
"The Collegian," a new monthly magazine, edited by Samuel Abbott, and published in Boston has been received this week.
The field that the Collegian intends to occupy is a new one in college journalism. It will contain the best contributions from the "under graduates of all colleges," while many of our college papers, especially the months possess a high degree of literary merit, yet no one of them reflects all that is best of the under-graduate work. It will be a medium for the discussion of all the college questions which are being agitated in all of our universities.
Believing that the literary work of under graduates is worthy of a more extended circle of readers. The Collegian is to be a connecting link if possible between the world and the college. Mr. Abbott says editorially: "The term, 'College Journalism,' has held so peculiar a place in the world of literature, that the would be definer of its locus, feels himself to be in perplexity.
One cannot locate it antipalear to the secular press, certainly not above it, and yet not parallel. The figure, a wheel within a wheel, sounds strangely in this connection, for this wheel whirls secul. densily within the circle of the greater world press and yet barely touching it. The connection is broken. Causes for this may be found in various quarters. The entanglement existing between the city and country journal and the under-graduate periodical, based on the parental stand maintained by the former, is preeminently a ground for the isolation.
Again, the literary月牙lines of the college association fail to claim attention at the hands of the article columns of more powerful magazines. Why? you have only to read the diction of one of our famous novelists, purporting the college writer to be a mere typo and incapable of work, in any degree satisfactory, to understand in part the reason. Without mentioning names, the absurdity of the gentleman's statement is at once proved. Look over the catalogues of our numerous institutions for the past one hundred years, and pick out here and there, man after man now famous in letters. The fact that some of their very best work was done, while undergraduates, an opinion often reiterated, makes valid the belief that our contemporary has erred. It is certainly unreasonable to imagine that genius is born in years following the movements of the intellect. It must be coeval with thought and the college halls are supposedly the places by nature sacred to learning. Personally we can point to a score of young fellows, but two or three years graduated, laboring excellently for the secular press. They were invited to positions on the strength of their college record, and have in no sense deceived the estimation of their superiors.
Yet, withal, one must be candid, and the honest mind admits the relevancy of the world criticism aimed at the pages of our college papers. We are too confirmed in ideas, crowding the realistic into a corner by the vain use of idealistic tendencies. For example, read the plethora of love strains, inconceivable plots, and garnished essays constantly allowed to appear. The unhealthy effect of this manner of writing, exotic and utopian, renders a large quota of college editors unfit for the immediate work of the world on graduating. They have become acclimated, thus losing time and money."
"The Collegian" starts out with bright prospects and we wish it success. While it represents eastern college work more than western, yet it starts out with flattering notices from the periodicles of many of our western and southern colleges, and unless the signs of the times fail, its pages will contain many a sterling article taken from our western magazines. Our papers here can plead not guilty to the charge of publishing "the stuff" referred to above, but there is still room for improvement. The Times occupies the same position in the college as the daily does outside, and is essentially a news paper, and as such can not have much value to outsiders except as a criterion of college spirit and life. Its scope is local. The Review is the literary medium of the university and occupies a high position and we refer its columns to the Collegian, as good samples of the literary work done in the colleges of the west.

1. M. C. A. Practical Talk.
The "Practical Talk" at the Y. M. C. A. rooms last evening was given by Prof. J. H. Canfield and was listened to by a goodly number. The professor spoke of the difficulties which are encountered in the physical, intellectual and moral life and how the mastery gives strength and courage to the victor. In every generation he said there were croakers, who greatly magnify existing evils and view with apprehension the future. They are not moved by that spirit of discontent which urges a man to better his own condition, but they see only failure in every under taking. Notwithstanding the dismal prophecies of this class the world moves forward and there is progress and development on every hand. In the material world what comforts we now enjoy that were unknown to our fathers. In our commercial relations what confidence we place in the honesty and integrity of business men? In education have we not advanced to a stage never dreamed of a few years ago. And yet that there is evil can not be denied. Yet will do no good to speculate on the cause of its being here or be forever croaking and complaining because it is here. The boy will not remove the weeds from the garden by sitting on the fence and wondering why they grew there. But he must grasp them and pull. We must control the evils that exist and make them a power for the good. We find true delight in the search for truth. We see before us a certain elevation that we desire to reach. When once there we are stronger and butter prepared to go still higher. If there was no ignorance, the pleasure that we find in learning would cease to exist and inactivity would follow. The man who inherits the appetite for strong drink, but who by a powerful mastering over his own feelings resists the temptation, has acquired new strength and courage. Not that it is a good thing for these evils to exist, but since they are here, we should boldly and bravely strive to overcome them.
Political Science Club
Notwithstanding numerous attractions elsewhere Friday evening, a fair audience was in attendance at the P. S. C. The programme was interesting through out.
The state legislature was well reported by Miss Nettie Goodell.
F. E. Reed ably discussed the late doings of the U. S. Senate.
The work of the U. S. House was reviewed by W. T. Caywood. His report showed that all U. S. land reservations which are to be opened to future settlement, can be taken up under the Homestead act only.
The report on Finance and Industry was ably rendered by Miss Anna McKinnon.
Pursuant to the late howl about misrepresentation in Congress, that question was discussed by J. A. Mushrush. He holds that the people are not practically misrepresented in congress. The howl was started by a crank and merits little or no attention.
The greater half of the Continent, Canada, was reported on by E. Squires. This paper showed how very vague our general ideas are of the extent and resources of that country
The program closed with the report on Studies in Factory Life, by Miss Reasoner. This paper showed how erroneous is the opinion, that our citizens are being crowded out of the factories by foreigners. A very large percent of Americans who quit positions in factories do so only to accept easier and more lucrative employment.
Our Library.
There has been complaint for a long time, because the majority of the students are not allowed inside the library room. It seems as though there could be no possible reason for this. The library is furnished by the State for the use of the faculty and all the students, and it would not be at all strange if this state of things was known, to hear that
we received no addition by the State. As it is now, only 20 to 30 of the upper classmen are permitted to enter where the books are kept, and even these must put a ticket in the rack each and every time they wish to enter. We have a library of 8,000 volumes and only thirty of the student body can get the full benefit of it.
It may be urged that if others are admitted, they will take down books, fail to replace them thus causing the greatest confusion. But we have a librarian and an assistant librarian whose duty it is to take care of the library, and if they cannot can do it, then get more assistants
It is probable that no one of those not admitted would violate the rule of the library to such an extent as is now done by one who enters the library. This one takes a book from the library to another room and keeps it from the other members of the class because he wants it himself in an hour or two.
Now we do not want the library open to every one, but it seems that any one classed Freshman or higher should be given library privileges. We ask that this matter be considered.

The law room was crowded last Friday night to hear the evidence in the celebrated libel suit of Finfrock vs. Herdman. The readers of the Times are familiar with the facts in the case, as the article referred to was printed in these columns. Mr. Finfrock proved that he had been greatly damaged by the publication of the article in question. His brother who was paying the expenses of his law course, threw him overboard, his landlord had ordered him to vacate his r room at the end of the month, and his best girl had notified him that in his case the marriage relation needed consummation instead of reformation. The plaintiff rested here, and the defense introduced a number of the members of Mr. Finfrock's boarding club to prove the truth of the charges in the TIMES. They testified that Mr. Finfrock had very peculiar notions of the subject of marriage, that he was continually talking the subject to anyone that would listen to him, and that he had frequently announced his intention of giving up his law studies and beginning a series of lectures on the subject "To Marry or not to Marry." This the plaintiff tried to rebut but failed to satisfy the jurv, who found for the defendent.
Mr. Merrifield was put on the stand to prove the circulation of the Times. This testimony so overcame the editor in chief of the Courier, that he was carried out of the room in a dead faint. Aid was promptly summoned and the stricken man was removed to his home, where at last accounts he was in a very precarious condition. His friends say that he has had some unfortunate dealings lately in oratorial stock, which seems to have unsettled his mind but that the indications all point to a speedy recovery.

It is to be hoped that an Annual will be issued this year, as it has been five since the last one, the Cicala, made its appearance. An attempt made last year, for the first time since '84, failed on account of factional disagreement, much to the disappointment of a large number of students. The Annual is a history of the college year, noting its changes and peculiarities. Not only would it be a pleasant thing to refer to in after years, but by reason of the attention it would attract over the state, would be a direct benefit to the University. It may be said against the scheme that that "Cicala" did not pay for itself. But it did not for the simple reason that it was not well managed. In the first place the finest of paper was used, when a cheaper grade would have served the purpose; then the volume itself was too large, there was no call for an Annual of 130 pages; then, too 1000 copies were printed when one-half that number would have suffaced. These mistakes were, financially, very serious ones, and we must be careful to avoid them. Another important thing is to be considered. As Annuals had been issued for several years previous, it was necessary for the "Cicala" to secure new woodcuts at a great expense. Now most of these cuts could be used again, for an entirely new lot of students now attend the University, and to them the old cuts would be quite as interesting as new ones.
With no financial obstacles in the way
there is no reason why we should not
have an Annual, and a good one too; one
of which we may all feei proud.

JOINS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY Baltimore. Md.
Will you please carry my greetings to the Science Club at their second annual meeting. I trust and believe that its success and usefulness will steadily increase from year to year. John Hopkins University has a similar society called the Scientific Association, which includes all lines of experimental science. The members of this association are the University professors and instructors and the graduate students. Strangely enough only the University officials and those graduate students who are fellows can vote in this association. The other graduate students cannot vote. The students and public are admitted, the meetings are held at 4 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month, and are very largely attended. Besides these there are separate societies for each branch of science, which meet generally on the first Wednesday of each month. The meetings are held on Wednesday because there is no required laboratory work that afternoon. From ten to fifty members attend each meeting.
The students of the University are or two classes. About one-half are undergraduates, mostly boys, who must study three subjects in one of eight groups of collegiate studies; whose absence from lecture and laboratory is recorded and must be accounted for; who have frequent quizzes and rigid examinations, and who altogether are held under very strict discipline. The punishment for neglect of duty is suspension from the class or the University, or a bad record and no promotion. To the undergraduates a large number of competitive scholarships are open. These are given to the student standing highest in each group of studies. This causes the greatest development of the high pressure system of coaching and cramming, whose evil effects seem to me to be offset only partially by the most excellent laboratory work to which the undergraduate must give four afternoons per week, and to which most students give five hours daily. The instruction to these students is all given in fifty minute lectures which completely exhaust the knowledge of the subject under discussion and present the very latest discoveries. Instead of being like students text books, the lectures are like specialists' treatises. The advanced men attend with the beginners, broad-shouldered, bearded men sitting side by side with rosy-cheeked, smooth-faced boys, and on the next seat very likely a professor in some other department, revising to date his knowledge in this one. The advanced men often attend the same course for three consecutive years, and they tell me they hear new matter each time, and are greatly benefited by the repetition of the old. Think how much cramming is liable to be done to obtain scholarships worth $200, and untold honor! I think the best students get the scholarships, but they do so at an enormous expenditure of memory which seems to me useless for permanent knowledge. They call it "training" for the examination—just as we a prize 'gighter trains for his contest.
In sharp contrast to the rigid work of the undergraduates is the abundant freedom of the other half of the students. These men are called graduate students and are of two classes, 1st, Gradutes of John Hopkins, 2nd, Gradutes of other institution. The graduate students do what is ordinarily called post-graduate work. They verify former experiments and attempt some original research. They can use any of the libraries and any of the apparatus, can attend what lectures they please and when they please, and have no examinations whatever. The professors personally supervise their work and lecture to all who choose to attend, on some special subject about once a week. Once a week the graduates meet with the professors in a "Seminary" and give each other the result of their researches. Once a week also they meet to read and report on journals and new publications. A reading knowledge of German and French is absolutely necessary to a graduate student. These men have the true student
spirit, and are a very sociable set of young men. To these are open the Fellowships worth $500.00 per year and full of honor. The professor nominates without examination the one that he considers the most promising man in his branch. These fellows give tone to the whole university life and are very helpful to the others and especially to the new men.
All the graduates I know attend undergraduate lectures. Some do nothing more, finding that their work in other institutions, especially in the smaller classical colleges, needs entire revision. Most of these men are candidates for the degree of Ph. D. some time in the future.
As soon as the professor in charge of each one thinks he can do good enough work, he spends a year writing a thesis, and takes a final written examination on certain special subjects
The plan of rigid discipline for under graduate students, and great freedom for the graduates is, I believe, the German method, and it seems to give good result here.
The students have their trials here in elsewhere. Several ladies' societies and the newspapers make war, on the vivisectionists. President Gilman objects to either graduates or under graduates, act as "saps" for Booth and Barrett, when the historical men thought their knowledge of Roman and Greek customs grea qualifications for the place
I do not think the lectures to the undergraduate students should be so special. A boy is a specialist here from the start. A collegiate student needs a broad knowledge, yet an accurate knowledge in the general principles of each branch of the world's great knowledge. So many of the men who come here intend to be specialists that the bent is toward special training rather than that general culture.
The quizzes and examinations are excellent in results, but the competitive examination for scholarship (open only to Johns Hopkins' undergraduates and graduates) are baneful, giving a constant strain to all the work, for nearly all the graduate men take the undergraduate examinations as reviews, and they are marked on the same standard. When the students wish the instructor to be a good trainer for examinations something is wrong. I hope Kansas University will never have competitive scholarship. Better give the money to establish tuition or laboratory fees, or better still to found new professorships.
Yours sincerely,
DICE MC LAREN.
Blind Boone Concert Company.
This musical prodigy who appeared last Saturday evening at the opera house, is a truly wonderful boy. His performances on the piano are simply grand; the most commonplace music to the rarest gems from the most popular authors, Boone executes with admirable skill, manifesting a natural ability fully equal if not superior to that of Blind Tom. Under his magic touch the piano seems to re-echo the very perfection of musical harmony which fills the boy's soul. While playing Boone is perfectly happy, and to receive applause from his hearers seems to elate and urge him to greater efforts. The audience which greeted him Saturday evening was highly appreciative, and round after round of thundering applause followed every rendition. If Blind Boone should ever visit Lincoln again the opera house will hardly hold the audience that will gather to hear him.—Lincoln State Democrat.

Science Club.
The meeting of the Science Club last Friday night was well attended in spite of the many other attractions on the hill.
Prof. Miller was the first on the program and gave an interesting talk on modern methods of mathematical work, particularly by the use of analysis. He said that a great deal of investigation in mathematics was now being carried on in a quiet way by gentlemen who were unknown to fame. Prof. Miller showed the best methods for solving such problems as, divide 14 into three rational squares, or find four squares whose sum is a square. He then gave a problem which had been sent to the mathematical department of the University from Pennsylvania in the belief that it could not be solved, and put upon the board the way by which he has solved it. This aroused an exciting discussion by the members of the Science Club, most of whom opposed the method used. Prof. Miller, however, had actually solved the problem, and he held his own against all attacks.
Mr. Slosson followed with a paper in "Aluminum and its alloys." The Chemical Department has recently purchased a complete series of these important metals and other specimens illustrating the process of manufacture from the Cowles Electrical Smelting Company. Aluminum is likely to come into general use as soon as it can be obtained cheap enough, for it possesses the tenacity of stell, with one-third its weight, and is not corroded by air or water.
Prof. Baily then gave a few notes, on recent discoveries in chemistry, which seem to lead toward a breaking down of the distinctions between the elements. The startling news from Germany that cobalt and nickel had been resolved into elements and one formed from the other, was mentioned but nothing can be known until the discoverer chooses to divulge his secrets, a letter from Mr. McLaren, a graduate from K. S. U., now at John Hopkins, was read and the club was much interested in learning of the methods of work there.
An invitation from the Manhattan Scientific club to exchange important papers, was received and many of the club seemed to favor such an interchange.
To-night there will be one of the most interesting sessions of the year. Mr. E. C. Franklin will bring in a report of his investigations in the sugar factories of Louisiana, and exhibit the samples he has collected. The University showed great foresight in sending one of the faculty to study this subject for sugar is now one of the products of Kansas.
Janauschek.
The great living tragic actress, Madame Janauschek, will present "Meg Merrilis" at the Opera House Monday night. The enthusiastic reception that was tended Madame Janauschek as she tottered on the stage last evening, hideous in makeup up in the tattered garb of "Meg Merrilies" must have been extremely gratifying to the great tragedienne, who through the force of her talent and genius has won a place on the stage that in her retirement it will be difficult to fill. A well-trained, studious, hard-working actress, bringing to every character the full force of her dramatic power, she has done nothing better than "Meg Merrilies." She has brought to this character the results of years of hard study and studious observation and has breathed into it the breath of genius until it becomes a living breathing flesh and blood creature in which the actress is lost sight of and only "Meg," hideous, defiant, loving, cringing and forging, is seen and heard. It is in every sense a character that will always live in the memory of those who witness it. The melancholy fire of those mysterious eyes, the low and awe-compelling tones of that deep, rich and vibrant voice, grand and imperious force and gesture, form a noble and ideal embodiment of lofty tragical conception.

The Sigma Chi Reception.
The year's society event among the young men of the Sigma Chi fraternity was the reception given by them at their beautiful and homelike hall in the Bowersock opera house block Friday evening. The young men had spared no pains in attempting to entertain their friends in a royal manner and their efforts were awarded with success. A number of young people from this city and neighboring cities were in attendance, and the evening was delightfully spent in dancing, card-playing and other social amusements. An elegant spread was served by Mr. W. C. Harris on the opera house stage and all partook liberally.
Returning to the hall again, dancing was resumed and "on with the dance" was the motto until the dancers began to grow weary and to take their departure for their homes. All present expressed themselves as having spent the evening very pleasantly and the young men can congratulate themselves upon being excellent entertainers. Everyone on departing declared that these Sigma Chi receptions should occur oftener.
Those present were, Misses Fannie Pickering, of Olathe, Lillie Turner of Topeka, Amy Hays, Gussie Price, Hattie McCarge, Mamie Lyons, May Webster, Mamie Henshaw, Etta Hadley, Nellie Morris, Nellie Rushmer, Allie Mason, Mamie Monroe, May Hair, Mamie Johnston, Anna Barker and Nellie Palmer; Messrs.
