"Although Kansas claims to take a leading part in placing woman on an equality with man, the members of the law department of the Kansas State University have so far represented only the male sex. The young ladies of this state are certainly more timid than their sisters in Michigan, where twenty-four women graduated as lawyers last year from the university.

The fighting editor has been in great demand the past week.
Watch our dear contemp try to explain "how it was done."
WHAT's the matter with the new Oratorical Association being made a truly representative organization as it claims to be.
Our senators seem to forget the obligations a State is under to aid the cause of higher education. They should remember that the advancement of Kansas depends upon the intelligence of its people.
The Chanute Daily Press of Feb 25th contained the following complimentary notice in its newsy columns: The University Courier of Lawrence, has found its way to our sanctum. It is full of local news and is a bright, clean little sheet. Send her along boys.
PROFESSOR CANFIELD is in Nashville arranging for a convention of the National Education Association, of which organization he is secretary. He was invited Friday night to a reception to the governor and legislators of Tennessee, one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind that the State has known. He made a speech which is safe to say was as good as any other one heard that night. Kansas takes no back seat when Canfield is at large, notwithstanding the paper bullets with which he is frequently assailed at home. Emporia Republican.
The program announces that the reception above mentioned was given "to the Governor, Legislature and Secretary of the National Educational Association, Hon. Jas. H. Canfield. The Professor was "on deck," however, in time for his classes Monday,
The conference committee reported on the appropriation bill. The report was adopted, and the bill was passed last Wednesday night. The appropriations are now as follows, and there will be no other change. Chancellor, $3,-000, professor of natural history, $2,500; dean of department of law, $2,500; thirteen professors, $24,000; dean of music department, $600; eleven assistants, 9,-200; librarian and assistants, $800; clerk, bookkeeper and treasurer, $1,200; superintendent, engineer and janitors, $2,900; fuel lights, etc., $2,080; labor in laboratories, $500; chemi als, $500; cabinets in the natural history department, $500; advertising, printing, etc., $500; janitor's supplies, $500; library, $5,000; apparatus in chemical department, $250; apparatus for the department of electrical engineering, $1,000; microscopes, $300; cabinet cases, $1,000; repairing foundation, $4,000; night watchman, $500; for care of grounds, $400; for chemicals, $700; maps, charts, etc., $500; care of meteorological apparatus, $250; for care of museums, etc., $500; for geological museum collection, $500; labor in taxidermy, $600; for water supply, $500; office expenses, $500; for steam heating repairs, $300; blackboards, $100; apparatus in department of pharmacy, $150; water tank in Snow Hall, $175; fire hose, reel, etc., $1,-000; for supplies in taxidermy, $300; drain pipe, $60; carpet for rostrum, $90; matting, $230; coal house, $500;
When the University appropriation bill came up in the Senate Monday, items aggregating $25,-000 were stricken out. The appropriation for professor's salaries was reduced to $20,500, instructor in music, $600, stricken out. Eleven assistants reduced to $9,200; librarian and assistant reduced to $600; additions to cabinet in natural history, reduced to $1,500; superintendent, engineer and janitor, to $2,100; fuel and lights to $1,500; labor in laboratory to $450; janitor, supplies and material to $500; office expenses to $500; taxidermy to $500; chemicals to $300, library to 2,500; apparatus in chemistry to $250; apparatus in physics and electrical engineering to $1,000; microscopes, etc., to $300; cabinets cases to $1,000. The house will probably refuse to concur, and a conference committee will be appointed. The friends of the University, both in and out of the legislature, should see to it that the bill as thus mutilated does not pass the house—Tribune.
The bill as passed provides for two new chairs, those of Philosophy and Geology.
The above is a good example of the proverbially narrow minded policy of legislators. Kansas can not hope to keep up her mighty strides along the path of advancement if she thus slights her greatest educational institution.
Some Sons of K. S. U.
Every few days I hear some rare bit of gossip, or some piece of encouraging good news about a "formerly of K. S. U." boy. As the years go by and the "boys" raise beards and families, and I hope, wealth from some source, the world hears more of them. I have noted with a good deal of regret that the Lawrence Journal does most of the whooping for K. S. U.'s old boys. Let's see. What's that old time case, the irrepressible, fun-loving, bright Twitchell up to. Running for some big office out in New Mexico I believe, yet I've not seen it in a K. S. U. paper. I well remember the "good old days" when "Twitch" was master of pischief at K. S. U. He had all "Cap" Franklin's spirit of deviltry without the "Cap's" love of study, hence when any one had to suffer for the sins of many, "Twitch" was selected. It was he that led the band at the serenade of the Chancellor on his return from Rev. F. T. Ingalls' funeral (which hasn't) occurred yet.) It was he who was editor-in-chief of the Courier when the Faculty decided that it musn't come out any more. He was in all the fun and all the mischief that went on, and at last closed a brilliant college career in about the Junior year. K. S. U. will be glad to claim him some day soon. 'He's all right' and is coming to the front rapidly.
Henry. We old-timers wont forget Stuart Henry and are glad to hear that he is still making himself heard. There are a couple of other fellows of that old time who are in the front ranks, Will Raymond and Frank Riffle. Hard to find two nicer fellows anywhere, and we all are glad they are among the lucky ones.
I notice in a recent copy of "Railroad Gazette" an article reprinted from the Nation, by S.O.
K. S. U. had two distinctly marked eras of mischief and fun within my recollection. The boys of the first set are clear out of the University circles now, but none the less to be called University men. The second period was later, as late as '85 and '86.
First and foremost were a pair of Sigs who were blessed with lungs like locomotive whistles, and who would have made a calliope blush, McAlpine, good, hardworking witty Bob, who is going to be an honor to his frat and his Alma Mater in spite of his fiendish yells, and Preston, who won't be much of an honor to anybody at present accounts. How those two did enjoy making the bright spring evenings fairly hideous. Alas! No more will they be heard, no more will the clarion notes call gangs of revellers to-gether. They are hushed and the residents on Tennessee sleep the sleep of the just. There was another youth of the period who is too well known to need mention any further than to remark that if any mischief was on foot and Will Brown did not know it, no one did.
In the fall of '85 a chap, who was handsome by reason of rare ugliness, came to K. S.U. Adams hadn't been there long until he was well-known and better liked. A truer, steadier, more honorable fellow never attended K. S.U. A good student, a grand fellow, he left with hosts of friends, but, good people, did you ever think that he was a ring leader in nearly all the devilry? I have in mind one mad prank which caused a great amount of cussing on the part of some students, and a lively investigation on the part of the faculty. I value life too much to say more on this point. Adams is now holding a lucrative position in Washington Territory. He is a rising engineer, and sooner than most of you think, he will be among the prime favorits of Dame Fortune.
"Smith," not H. A. or H. D., or any of the countless crowd of Smiths, but "Smith" alias Glen Miller certainly deserves mention. I do not keep him until the last because I consider him among the least, for I doubt if any man with higher intellect ever left K. S. U., and I am sure none have profited better by their college training, and experience in the world, than Haslater. I don't need to culegise him as a writer, he has too
many friends who know what hits he can give, and some are still bearing ill will. He is the one K. K. U. man who can speak to the point. His praise is not scant, his sarcasm is bitter but apt, his logic and his language good. All in all where do you find a brighter writer than 'Smith?'
"Smith"'s now taking a "tramp abroad." He got down in France and spent a while in jail as a German spy, he has "done'” Paris, he has been over London, he has idled over the Isle of Wight and he's now headed for Italy. He isn't tramping in a railroad car, he's on foot, seeing all that can be seen and learning all that can be learned. He will profit by his trip and such incidents as being "jugged" for a spy will make his year more spicy. Gentlemen, when "Smith"' gets back to work once more, just watch him and see 'he man of' 84, get ahead.
Enough said. The old days are gone, the old boys have scattered, the old girls have all gotten married and things are not what they were. Too many of the old friends have gone to that myst rious land whence none return. Dean Dart, Munsell, Smith and others will be sadly missed from our reunions. Each year K. S. U. turns out men who are going to have their share in this world's work, bright, brainy men whose influence will do Alma Mater a world of good could their interest be maintained. Is there not some way in which to keep the old boys posted. You fraternity men come up and give occasional accounts of your alumni. You are not ashamed of them I trust. There was a time when to "be a Beta was better than a king." Why don't you tell us of the Riffle's of Watson, Powell, Hopkins, a few of your Smiths and others? The Phi Psis too could fill a column a week with notes about the old timers, and I trust will do so. Stand up, you two, you have just cause to be proud of your alumni. Do you let the Phi Gams outdo you on "toooting their horn." The other frats have plenty of material. Don't bemoan your lot at being an editor and then tell us that "Sue Smith climbed the hill yesterday." Gentlemen if you will send the papers to alumni please go back to the year one and give some of the old lights their due, they are not dimmed since leaving college. R. E. HENRY.

Exchanges.
The Baker Index for February is a creditable issue, but it has not yet succeeded in pounding into its cranium the reason why K. S. U., and not Baker, got second place in the late contest. This is but another illustration of the proverbially thick skull of the Baker student.
The Atlantic bewails a state of things incident to all college publications—a lack of interest among the students in helping out on the literary work.
The Pacific Pharos sensibly remarks on the indiscriminate use of applause, when it says that the "habitual use of applause comes to be mechanical and looses the meaning it ought to convey."
We welcome among our exchanges No.1, Vol.1 of the College Rambler from the San Diego College at Pacific Beach, Cal., and send our best wishes.
The College Mercury encloses a cut of the proposed beautiful addition to the college of the city of New York. The trustees of this college have recently conditionally admitted women to the full advantages of the institution.
Dr. J. Leland Miller, of Sheffield, Mass., has given forty thousand dollars to Williams College, to found a professorship of American history, literature and eloquence. There is no such professorship at present in any college in this country.—Collegian.
One of the brightest of the many exchanges that reach our table is the De Pauw Age. Its issue of Feb. 9, besides containing the usual amount of college news has a splendid analysis of the play of Julius Caesar.
The University of Wisconsin has been presented with a gymnasium and boat house costing seventy thousand dollars.
Pharmacy Shreaks.
L. W. Quipp has been detained from classes the past week on account of sickness.
Juo. Scott has returned from Peabody, where he has been as witness on a water case.
E. W. Morris expects to go to Beloit next week.
Subjects for Senior theses must be handed in March 1st.
The Seniors are testing pharmaceutical chemicals.
The Seniors enjoyed a quiz in Organic Chemistry Wednesday.
The following notice has been posted on the bulletin board:
Commencement Appointments.
We are prepared to make extra inducements to students for suppers and banque's at the Delmonico.
"The following students are eligible to commencement appointments under the rules of the Faculty adopted May 5,1887. By the same rules all who are eligible are required to prepare orations for submission to a committee of the Faculty. These orations take the place of the last Senior Forensics, and must be presented by May 1st,1889. Misses Eddy, Hunnicutt, Mary Manley, McKinnon, Merrill, Newlin; Messrs. Buckingham, Caywood, Jacobs, Kellogg, Kennedy, Reed, Sloan and Squires.
Palladium.
The vacation reduced the attendance last Saturday night, but enough members were left to hold a lively meeting. The program which was posted last week was rendered. If you enjoy parliamentary scrapping, come next Saturday night.
There may possibly be a few "barbs" who have not yet had an opportunity of joining. Also to others we observe that the barbarian may become a Latin and the Latin a Roman. The expense of renting the court house is but a trifle compared to that of renting halls. The literary advantages are the "Palladium" of Kansas.
Louie Lord is the favorite and is sure of a good house. Secure your seats early.
Students, come to the Delmonico to board. Every thing is first class and you will find courteous treatment by every one.
Partys and banquets a speciality at the Delmonico. Our caterer is the finest.
"The Presbyterian church was crowded last evening to its utmost capacity to enjoy the instrumental and vocal music of that greatest of all modern musical prodigies, Blind Boone. It is not too much to say that this musical phenomenon, Blind Boone, far exceeded the expectations of all who heard him last night. Sightless though he is, he plays the piano with the skill and touch of a master. In addition to blind Boone's playing and singing of several pieces, Miss Estelle Mayer sang three very sweet songs, and sang them to the great delight of the audience." At the Baptist church-to-night.
Get Hamilton to take your photo and present one to your girl.

Effle Ellsler.
Effie Ellsler, that capable artist, who has always been a favorite with the most cultured class of play patrons, will appear here in her new comedy drama, entitled "Judge Not," from the pen of the London playwriter, Frank Harvey, author of "Wages of Sin," "A Rod of Iron," "Woman Against Woman" and other popular dramas. It is quite needless to speak of the marked ability of Effie Ellsler, for her talents have so often won public approbation, particularly in "Kazel Kirke," in which piece she was such a notable success years ago. She is an actress of great experience, having been an earnest, industrious member of her profession since early childhood, gaining her education from such great artists as Forrest, Davenport, Edwin Adams, Charlotte Cushman, Mrs. D. P. Bowers, and others prominent on the stage when she, as a very young girl, was cast for parts in their supporting company in her father's theatres in Cleveland and Pittsburg. "Judge Not" is a play most admirably adapted to Miss Ellsler, it is said, affording her the opportunities for much emotional acting, in which she is seen at her best. The piece was received with much favor on the occasion of its first presentation in the Madison Square Theatre. New York, and in both E. H. Vanderbelt and Frank Weston, who made such good impressions in the New York productions, will be seen here in their original parts.
Effie Ellsler will appear at the opera house next Thursday evening. Seats will be on sale at Crew & Co's Tuesday morning with no advance in prices.

The Senior class appropriately observed Washington's birthday. Finfrock and Stebbins made patriotic addresses, after which the class joined in singing "America." A rubber fight was one of the special features of the entertainment. The boys concluded the exercises by decorating the law room with bums and pictures from various parts of the building.

Barker, Earnest Thompson, Rufus Melvin, Bert Eastman, Prof. Green, George Kumler, Miss Bertha Mellon, Mrs. Prof. Green, Little Ethel Diggs and a host of other favorites.

CASH, vs. CREDIT.
INDIANA CASH GROCERY AND CROCKERY STORE, Complainant. COMPETITORS, Defendants.
Now and Whereas, We the INDIANA CASH GROCERY AND CROCKERY STORE are leading all others in our respective lines, we wish to submit our case to the people of Lawrence and Douglas County, as well as the State of Kansas; that we waive all unnecessary prejudice in our plea, all we wish is to state plain facts in as brief manner as could be done.
Now, Your Honors,(the people) All we wish is to state facts just as they are,and will try and curtail on the expense of stationery, so we will commence at our subject in view:
Questions and their Answers opposite.
Why does Cash buy the most?
Why does your monthly bills seem so large?
Because you get a rebate.
Why don't you get what you buy?
Because you don't get what you buy
Why don't you change your trading place for a cheaper one?
Because you buy two-price goods.
Why is this dreadful mortgage or you so binding?
Why should your pocket book be your guide and your eyes your judge?
Why is your wife happy when you buy from us?
Because they have a mortgage on you.
Because you have no money left to go elsewhere and purchase.
Because we give you your money's worth and she, your wife, has piz. money left.
Because you would then be doing justice to your families.
In referring to each of our points and facts, be sure you open the eyes of the blind and not allow themselves to be duped by men who call themselves grocerymen, and men who never knew the difference between an honest earned dollar and one of which is earned by the sweat of the brow. We are your sympathizers! We are your redeemers! Throw off your Mantle of Mortgage and be a free man in your country and true to your family. This cut-throat credit system has and will hang men and drive them to all crimes both to themselves as well as unto others.
Now, Your Honors, (the people) To close our argument. we will submit to you our case, and trust you will handle it with the true judgment most of you have always done to us.
BUY FOR CASH and you owe no one. BE INDEPENDENT and you will be a MAN both to yourself and country. Untie the bonds that have kept you a slave. Follow our example and you will be what we are: KING OF THEM ALL!

Hon. Fred A. Stocks, the Marshall county representative, is one of the University men who has done good work this session. He is from Blue Rapids, and graduated five years ago and is the youngest member. His work on ways and means, the most important committee, has been of the very best. As chairman of the subcommittee on the University he did first-class work for the State. His report on the Topeka insane asylum was declared by Mr. Burton to be the best report of the kind ever laid before a Kansas legislature. He has been one of the most industrious and useful members. Not always on his feet, such speeches as he has made have been to the point and were heard. A modest and scholarly young man, Mr. Stocks has made an excellent member, and is a credit to the University and the State and certainly merits the confidence and respect of his constituents.

Prof. Dyche returned Sunday afternoon from a trip to Denver in the interest of his department. He brought back seven Rocky mountain goats or ibexs, one musk deer, some rare fox, two marmots, one mule deer and a complete skeleton of the Rocky Mountain lion. This is in some respects a more successful capture than that of the Buffalo. There are comparatively few people who have ever heard of the Rocky Mountain goat, and in fact, there are probably but four sycimecims in the world, outside of the museum of the University of Kansas. Two of the four are owned by the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and are the only specimens in the country. The musk deer now owned by K. S. U. is said to be the only representative of the species in the museums of the land. Prof. Dyche is to be congratulated for the admirable business tact displayed in negotiating this valuable purchase.

The University is to be congratulated on securing Mr. Moody as one of its regents. Mr. Moody's valiant fight for the University in the Legislature has made him very popular among our students, and in hands like his the interests of K. S. U. will surely be well cared for.
YESTERDAY's Kansas City Times declares in favor of Prof. J. H. Canfield for Chancellor. He would make a good one.
Ir was with a feeling of regret that we heard of Chancellor Lippincott's resignation to accept the pastorate of the first M. E. church at Topeka at the close of this year. Dr. Lippincott has given excellent satisfaction as chancellor, and has been instrumental in bringing K. S. U. to its present high standard. His diligence and constant interest for the welfare of the University, as well as his personal interest in the students, have won the regard and esteem of all connected with K. S. U.
The article in the Courier on "How it was done" seems to have stung into slight activity the long
dormant faculty of conscience among the ringleaders in the Phi Beta Chi oratorical scheme. To be sure when people do mean tricks and then try to whitewash them over, it does become rather hard to keep from wrigling and squirming when the facts are shown up in their true light. For our part, our experience with the "honorable gentlemen" referred to, inclines us to say with Shakespeare: "And be these juggling friends no more be leaved. That patter with us in a double sense: That keep the word of promise to our ear."
ONE of the most indefatigable workers in the University is Prof. Jas. H. Canfield. Thorough in the work in his department and careful of that department's interests, he is ever alive to the interests of the institution at large. Only a few weeks ago he started a movement which resulted in placing in the library a number of handsome tables. Through his efforts numerous volumes have been donated to our library and many volumes from his own private library have been placed at the students disposal. Notwithstanding the great amount of work imposed upon him in his department from the want of an assistant, he manages to find time to talk to the people upon educational questions. Only two weeks ago he addressed a large audience at Nashville Tennessee, where he had gone as secretary of the National Teachers Association. The work in his department is becoming broader and more systematized each year. Students are attracted to his classes by his pleasant manners, his personal interest in each member of his classes,
be teved.
That palter with us in a double sense:
That keep the word of promise to our ear.
And break it to our hope."
WE ARE on the down-hill grade now, towards commencement, the great goal of college life. The weeks slip away like days, and before we know it, almost, the hour will come for us to pack up our trunks and be take ourselves to our native hearths. The time has come now, if we have failed to do so before, to look around us and see if we have been making the best of our opportunities this year. Some of us have been devoting too much time to society, some of us hive penned ourselves up within our little circle of books, and are looking pale and tired and red-eyed, some of us have been so occupied in college politics that an outsider would think superiority in some petty college organization the only aim of our college life.
If we find we have been running too much in any one of these directions, let us correct the fault before it is too late. Let us equalize our work, and broaden ourselves.
his thorough knowledge of what he teaches and by his admirable methods of imparting that knowledge to others. It would be a sorry day indeed for the University should the complaints of the "newspaper cranks" against him be heeded... What the University needs is more men like him.
In last week's issue of the Times Mr. Be—Ar—delivers himself of some excellent precepts, and offers himself as a bright and shining example of their efficacy. Now, while we must admire the gentleman's great generosity of spirit in thus posing for the world to copy, we must express a wish that he would be a little more careful to hide the props by means of which his friends thrust him forward to pose before the eager, expectant crowd. For if we have ever had any doubt that he was compelled to the course he took by his associates, that doubt has been completely removed by the traces of other hands than his in the open letter which he purports to write. This letter is but the wail of one who has been led into committing a deed which he knows was wrong and which he desires to cover up with specious pretexts, But goaded on to the course which he now tries to defend, in that very defense he is goaded by those same associates, to so for forget himself as to make statements, which upon calm consideration he must know are wholly unfounded and untrue.
For he knows well enough that he was never elected by the minority of the association which he claimed to represent, nor was he legally elected by the ex-committee. The fact is, he was not elected at all. And the fact is as we have herebefore stated, that his credentials were simply made up.
The attempt of the honorable gentleman in his blind egotism to compare himself with President Harisson, reminds us of the story of the ass, which once upon a time, thought to frighten men by clothing himself in the skin of a lion. He evidently forgets that Mr. Harrison was elected, not by the people, but by an electoral college in accordance with the spirit and letter of the Constitution itself. But should Mr. Harrison pervert the Constitution and destroy the Union, kick it out of existence as it were, what would our dear friend say then? If he did not deserve the nrme of an Arnold, he certainly would merit one no less ignominious, that of Jeff Davis.
If the gentlman can conscientiously say that no promises were broken, when he can not help knowing that one of his associates
deliberately broke his promise, and that all of them are guilty of violating the spirit of their agreement made before the faculty committee, he evidently will not be troubled much in life by pangs of conscience. If he can say that we were "defeated fairly and squarley in an honorable political fight," with any belief in the truthfulness of his statement, when he remembers the transaction in Culver's room and the means used in that fight, his sense of fairness and honor is remarkable.
We are sorry that the gentleman has allowed himself to be dragged into this difficulty and set up as a mark by his associates; and pity his unfortunate condition. We trust that in the future he will act wiser.
A new board of regents for the State university has been appointed. Under the law enacted by the legislature just before adjournment for the government and control of the university, the terms of all the members of the old board of regents expired and became necessary for the governor to appoint an entire new board. He appointed Senator Joel Moody of Mound City (to succeed Judge A. G. Otis of Atchison): Charles S. Gleed of Topeka to succeed himself; W. C. Spangler of Lawrence (to succeed C. W. Smith of Stockton); Hon. J. F. Billings of Clay Center to succeed himself and Hon. C. R. Mitchell of Geuda Springs to succeed himself, M. P. Simpson of McPherson to succeed himself. Moody, Gleed and Spangler are appointed for three years, and Simpson, Billings and Mitchell are appointed for two years. — Capital-Commonwealth, Messrs. Gleed and Spangler are graduates of K. S. U.
The Phi Kappa Psis.
The members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity assembled in the Throop dining parlors at 10 p.m. last night and adjourned at 2 a.m. after four hours of fun and feed, song and story. The dinner was immaculate, the speeche, gorgeous and the singing Bostonian. Hon. J. M. High, of Reno, speaker protem; Hon. Fred A. Stocks, of Marshall; George T. Nicholson, general passenger and ticket agent of the Santa Fe, and other notables were present. Charles S Gleed presided with entire success from a sanitary and financial standpoint. This fraternity has had for years a very strong chapter at the State University, and includes among its members, Bishop Ninde, Con. gressman Peters and many of the best men in Kansas. Their dinner was an exceedingly enjoyable and
successful reunion of old college men from all parts of the State. As soon as speaker High announced that "Portland lights are just in sight" everybody felt perfectly at home and the good feeling continued till they threw down their arms and dispersed just in time to miss the sunrise High, Stocks Nicholson, Gleed, Spangler, Webster, Prescott, Thompson, Curdy, White, Simpson and Leith were present.State Journal. Mar.2.
Kappa Kappa Gamma.
One of the most successful parties of the season was the brilliant reception given by the ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity last Friday evening. The spacious balls of the new Merchants National Bank building were tastefully decorated for the occasion, and by nine o'clock were filled with happy guests. After a time spent in happy conversation, a most magnificent menu was served in several courses. The supper was prepared by the young ladies themselves, with Miss McKinnon as directress, and the guests plainly showed their full appreciation of the tempting dainties. After supper the room was quickly cleared, and the remainder of the evening was given to dancing and conversation. We cannot sufficiently praise the cordiality and hospitality of the young ladies, and the ease with which each invited guest was made to feel thoroughly at home. That Kappa Kappa Gamma may be as entirely successful in all her undertakings, is the earnest wish of the Courier.

The Acute Sophomore.
The Acute Sophomore.
He was onl - a sophomore but he had a large head.
He was undergoing the agony of sophomorie love, and he pined for his adored one at home. All his "cuts" had been used, and he could see no way to fly to her side.
Suddenly an idea siezed him from behind, and he, overpowering it, grasped it and hung on.
The next day he knocked at the office door of the president of the faculty, and his eyes were filled with tears. In his hand he held a telegram, yellow and foreboding. This he gave to Prex who opened it and read:
Hartford, Conn.
Mr. E. J. B——,
Amherst College, Amherst.
Charles is not expected to live. Come home at once.

In striking contrast with the customs of to day, stands the following extract from the laws of Yale College, published in 1574:
"Every Freshman is obliged to do any proper errand or message required of him by any one in an upper class, which if he refuses to do, he shall be punished." As singular are some of the regulations of Harvard college enforced a century ago:
"No Freshman shall wear his hat in the college yard, except it rains, hails or snows, he be on horse-back, or hath both hands full.
"No Freshman shall be saucy to his Senior, or speak to him with his hat on.
"No Freshmen are to find the rest of the scholars with bats, ball and tow balls." - University Herald.

The following fs from an article in the Free Lance, entitled "Fraternity, a case in college:"
"As to depriving the student of precious moments, the practical instruction of association with congenial persons far over-balances the moments said to be lo-t. They are not lost, for the time a fraternity man spends in his chapter hall enlarges his social qualities and gives him a closer insight into the minds of men than could otherwise be acquired. I acknowledge that college fraternities create jealousy, but it is a jealousy that is met with between institutions of similar character. It is a rivalry for the lead. Statistics show that those colleges-rank among the highest where good secret fraternities exist in the greatest number."
The Hesperian is agitating the question of its conversion into a monthly, and the establishment of a weekly devoted to local news. The move we think would be a good one.

A NIGHT OF MIRTH.
"Corner Grocery" on hand for to- night.
Don't miss the funniest play of the season to-night. It is a screaming howling comedy, with just enough plot to make it run smoothly. Read the following tribute to its laughter-producing abilities, from the St Louis Globe Democtat: "People laughed till they cried at the Standard last night. The upper part of the house was jammed, and the downstairs crowd was large. "The Corner Grocery," an uproarious comedy with
an occasional touch of nature and a pathetic love episode underlying, was greeted with tremendous manifestations of approval. The leading role, *Duddy Nolan*, is portrayed by Mr. Griffin, and with the assistance of a pleasing company, an audience is regaled with a constant round of amuement. A very pretty picture of domestic life is presented in the play, and there is an appeal not only to the risibles, but the purer and nobler emotions, and little tender episodes check the laughter of the audience, and remind them that there is a serious side, even to the happiest and most mirtiful souls. "The Corner Grocery" is, of course, ridiculously funny, and it is all that has been represented—intensely amusing, absorbing in situation, and as clean in language as the most fastidious could require."

Neil Brooks and Joe Shellabarger were elected secretary and treasurer, respectively, to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of Kellogg and Snow. The executive committee was authorized to prepare the schedule of games for the coming season. Meeting adjourned.
The second annual Pan Hellinic of the fraternities of K. S. U. was held in Frazier's hall on last Friday evening. The frats participating were Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi,and the Delta Theta's. Early in the evening numerous dusky forms could be seen hugging the dark side of the street and flitting through the alleys. At about nine o'clock the hall was well filled and the festivities of the evening were begun by a grand march.o the music of the Riverside Mandolin Club. No appropriate idea of the costumes worn by the whilom females could be gained unless by an eye witness. They had drawn from every available source, from their best girl to the kitchen mechanic, and were verily fearfully and wonderfully made. There was Miss Shellabarger, a handsome blonde with a low decolette costume which admirably set off the shapey sinews of her neck and her elegant patent bust.; Miss Bowersock, who looked a cross between a Little Lord Fountelroy with long flaxen ringlets, and her washerwoman; Miss Georgie Cook, who by splicing three or four dresses had managed to conceal everything but a pair of number nines, and whose waist was so high up she had to furnish a step ladder to her partners to climb up; Miss Earl Swope, who introduced a startling innovation in the way of an Ethiopian ballot girl, who could smoke a
cigarette, chew a sandwich and render a can-can at the same time; Miss Deverell who reversed the usual order of ball-room apparel and had her dress cut low from the bottom; Miss Otis charmingly attired in a loose fitting cream colored wrapper, with a fringe of whiskers about a week old worn at the neck; Miss Hogeboom, a dimiutive blonde, who wore a handsome costume of white flannel and store hair, the whole set off by a most seductive smile; Miss Spencer whose classical beauty was greatly enhanced by a curious caudal appendage and some two inches of paint, and many other elegantly attired and beautiful damsels, a description of which only lack of space forbids.
Represhments were served by the Delmonico. The well-known Ben Butler was constituted toast-master, and delivered himself of a fine address entitled "Who's Boss of this Hall?" Mr. Craig, one of the features of the evening, endeavored to execute the dance known as "Walk-the crack," which appears to the uninitiated, however, to be but a complicated form of the reel. Mr. Craig was highly congratulated by all present. The dancing and merry-making was continued until a late hour. The entire affair was orderly and successful. It is to be hoped that K. S. U. will perpetuate this one of their distinctively collegiate features.
We are glad to announce that the literary societies have been good enough to give a half hour of their time to college singing, so that the Christian societies need no longer be interfered with. It is to be hoped now that the Christian societies will be equally generous and come to the singing. The meetings will be opened at 7:45 in Athenaeum hall, and will be held every Friday evening. This song association has so far been very favorably regarded by the students, and we hope their interest will continue to increase until they become sufficiently enthusiastic to start a college glee club. Why haven't we a little more spirit in this matter?
College Songs.
At last our Faiay night are again clear of any important engagements, and we can devote ourselves with renewed energy to college songs.
The oung men out of the University who, anticipating no rivalry, expected to make engagements with
Pan-Thugetarian.
University girls Friday evening were disappointed, for the young ladies went off and had a Pan Hellenic of their own. Seventy-five happy girls assembled in Mrs. Bowersock's house, which she generously opened for the occasion, and proceeded to enjoy themselves as is possible only in an assembly of the girls, all the girls, and nobody but the girls. They sang, they danced, they feasted, they invented a Pan Hellenic grip, they—but they won't tell what else they did. Whatever was their Pan Hellenic mystery, they enjoyed it so thoroughly that every boy in school envies them their delightful secret.
Long may the three societies maintain cordial relations.

The Tribune objects to the appointment of Mr. Ingalls to the Chancellorship of the State University, and that too, without even whispering the name of the candidate they want to see at the head of the University. As a matter of fact, the Tribune dares not mention its candidate's name, because he is utterly unqualified for the position, and it realizes that its only chance of success depends upon church intrigue and silent midnight wire-pulling. Without expressing our preference, we believe that neither politics nor religion should control the appointment of the new Chancel or.
Some of the members of the last legislature carried their economic ideas to a logical conclusion when at the adjournment of the legislature they endeavored to take their chairs home wit hthem, presumably as souvenirs of their arduous labors. It is currently reported that they were only prevented from accomplishing their—shall we call it theft?—by a peremptory order from Gov. Humphrey to return the chairs. Alas, how are the mighty fallen!
The last issue of the Voice contains a complete expose of the plagiarism of W. F. Becker of Wittenberg College, in his oration which took second place in the Ohio State contest. The oration is a copy almost word for word of an article in the Princeton Review of 1879, by Prof. Dolbyof Ann Arbor. We understand that Mr. Becker has been expelled from Wittenberg. The report is current that the Missouri orator is also a plagiarist, and this complied with the fact of the expose of the Kansas plagiarist of four years ago ought to teach our young Ciceros a lesson.
A recent article in the Courier made the frank acknowledgment that there are in the University some who are wise enough in their own conceit to perceive that Christianity is a detriment to the world.
Such an admission coming from a publication which, in its zeal for the prosperity of the University, is loth to expose anything that can be eradicated privately, seemed to the skeptical crew to be a concession to their ability; or possibly the weakness of the article encouraged them. At any rate, it became evident to them that the time had come (whether they judged from policy or compulsion we know not) to consolidate their forces. After a mass meeting at which probably each one was assigned his part, they tried to increase the energy of their aggressiveness.
confirm the truth of the article while people would be likely to take cognizance of their actions or they sought by bravado to establish the position from which they feared to retreat.
It is said that one advocated the destruction of the Courier by increasing the subscription price to two dollars per annum, just as if that would kill it. But this class of men fortunately have practically no voice in determining the policy of the Courier. It is known that another sneered at the policy of the paper because in its fairness to all classes it accepted an article which these erudites termed "religious." Moreover we learn from a Courier correspondent that in one of the societies, a paper defending infidelity was read.
One of the two inferences must be true. Either the skeptics wished to
Now, a word as to the increase in the subscription price of the Courier. We regard their proposition as an unintended and consequently sincere compliment. If "religious" articles can be made a pretext for an increase in the price, it is evident that the sentiment of the University is in favor of such articles, notwithstanding.
To sneer at fairness is characteristic of those whose profession cannot bear the exposure of fair discussion.
If a society will permit one to read an anti-religious paper why should not a publication which represents all classes, publish a "religious" article?
If America permits her citizens to have religious sentiments, the Courier does not concede that some distinctive class of students can arrogate to themselves the privilege of excluding these sentiments from its columns. We are not aware that religion has been injurious to the Courier or to those whom it represents. It is a dismal conception, the attempt to realize what the world would be without religion. Just so it is with any paper. For instance we cite you to the Times.
legislation," which the legislators of this character have inaugurated, is prompted by their own ignorance, it only shows more strongly than ever, the need of liberal education, if it is used only as a "catch" to draw the votes of the ignorant and prejudiced in their districts, the condemnation of our intelligent citizens cannot be too severe. We recognize that Kansas, being essentially an agricultural State, has suffered much from hard times of late, owing to failures of crops, and are willing that our educational institutions be run as economically as is compatible with efficiency of work, but we do not like to see the appropriations stricken off with an air of malicious triumph, as though those who did it felt they were doing the State a good service, and ought to be rewarded by the grateful thanks of an oppressed people. We think, however, that better times are coming to the University. Our Alumni are gaining prominence every year, and are demonstrating in themselves the great worth of their alma mater to the people of the State, and we sincerely hope that when the next Kansas legislature meets, it will be consorted of members who will act on more rational and liberal principles in their treatment of the State educational institutions.
There are some people in the State of Kansas, unfortunately, who regard the State University with suspicion and distrust. Happily this spirit exists only among a small minority, and yet these few when they get into our legislative halls, push their cramped and distorted views on the subject of education, before the public in such a noisy and obstrusive manner as to excite the ridicule and adverse comments of the intelligent press, both within and outside the State. It is very apparent that such as these are not "college bred" men. Indeed their utterances would sometimes warrant the belief that they lack breeding of any other kind. Their actions tend to make our legislature, which for the most part is composed of sensible, intelligent men, a laughing-stock and an object of contempt. They injure the reputation of the State for broadness and liberality of mind by their narrow and provincial sentiment. They "don't see the use of colleges in the State anyway, when only one child in 109 attends. Shades of Aristotle, such logic! Again;—you University students are five hundred dudes." We wish the gentleman who made these remarks would come down to Lawrence and look at us. If the so-called "reform
EDITOR COURIER: A few suggestions from R. E. Henry, in your issue of March 1st, have re-called many lively incidents at K. S. U. for some time crowded back, in memory, by the urgent events of practical life. I well remember the solemn march of that little band down Massachusetts street, lead by Captain Twitchell—Butler with muffled drum, flag at half-mast—going to meet the Chancellor and other distinguished persons returning from the funeral. I am again impressed with the solemn silence of the occasion when the "Doctor," with tears, announced in Chapel, the sudden death of our honored regent. Intimate friends had known for some time that his reverence had heart disease, but no one anticipated his sudden demise. The "Doctor" was sure that Rev. Ingalls, if still cognizant of earthly matters, would desire that we proceed with our usual recitations. On the morrow we should assemble and listen to appropriate remarks from professors Snow, Canfield and others. We proceeded—so did the professors. It is a matter of much regret that our stenographer failed to take down those remarks. Professors never uttered words more eloquent—only comparable with Ingersoll's eulogy to Beecher.
College life would be prosy, indeed, without some such incidents. But for the actors the fun is not worth the sacrifice. Yes, let us hear from Rifle, Watson, Powell, Hopkins, and other fraternity men of note. Then give us the "barbs." Where is Young? who, since Demosthenes, could utter more scattering philippics than Philip? The Foster Brothers, of strong arm and strong digestion? The weak Brigham and cunning Stephenson? Let us know how these gentlemen average. Judgment is based upon average. The object of an institution of learning should be to send out men and women who, in a period of years, average well up in the practical affairs of life. Little substantial good can be claimed because some former student has become a politician. In school and out, as a rule, the rapid fall by the wayside. The fellow in the corner with his book, who merely squints at you intruding, finally gets ahead and stays there. ALUMMIS.
The following letter to Mr. Jno. W. Roberts, Secretary E. S. A. Hutchinson, Kans., explains itself and will be of interest to all equal suffragists:
LAWRENCE, KANS., Feb. 12th, 1889.
DEAR SIR: I have your favor of the eighth and note your very courteous invitation to be present at the anniversary banquet of the Equal Suffrage Club of your city.
I regret to say that a previous engagement compels my presence at Nashville, Tennessee on the evening named. But with these regrets I send to those who may assemble must cordial greetings.
Every man who is so fortunate as to be married to a true woman will frankly admit that more than half his inspiration to an intelligent, up-right, loyal and loving life comes from this union. He knows also that her instant analysis of human character, her intuitions as to the wisdom or fold of any proposed action, and the instinctive choice of all that is pure and uplifting, have again and again saved him from disaster, defeat and disgrace. Equal suffrage simply means a public and political recognition and acceptance of the influence and power to which we privately confess such constant indebtedness. This recognition is sure to come. In a free country nothing can be settled which is not right. In his political life it is not right for man to be alone. Let this be my toast:
WOMAN—the salt of the earth, which has never lost its savor, and hence is worthy of something better than to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
With thanks for the implied compliment of your invitation, and again with most hearty greetings.
Very cordially yours,
JAMES H. CANFIELD.

TEXT: SMOKING.
"The habit of smoking is vulgar,you know,
Only fit for those people whose instincts
are low,"
Insisted his wife as she sat by his side,
To which opposition he calmly replied:
"You surely call Milton a high-minded
man,
Not so, my dear wife? His life didn't pan
Out a failure, you know; well now I insist
If all smokers are low he's down on your
list.
Carlyle you'll admit, was a genius, nicht wahr?
(excuse me a jif while I light my cigar.)
He smoked like a chimney, Clarissa, my dear,
While Lamb smoked each month more than I smoked last year.
Old Newton at church, with his conscience quite clear
Fumed with tobacco the pews in the rear.
Your Dickens smoked, too , while Thack eray's clothes
Were soaked with tobacco fumes thro' to his hose.
In short, dear Clarissa. my list would contain
The name of each genius from Raleigh to Twain,
Then smiling she answered, with logic elate,
"You promise to swear off until you are great!"
Williams Weekly.
A Sophomore bold and careless and gay,
One afternoon of a winter's day,
Fixed himself up and went to the play.
It was Richard the Third and a matinee.
The Sophomore sat in a front parquet,
All was serene as a day in May,
Until Richard began to pray
"A horse's horse!" in a pitiful way,
When the Sophomore sprang from his
seat, they say.
And cried the poor King's fears to allay,
"I'll get you a horse without delay;
I know how it is, I have felt that way."
Query.
There's a journalistic specimen that frequents our Varsity hall,
That, with zeal that never lessens,
And most monumental gull,
Gently stays you,
Kindly prays you,
"Don't you know a personal?"
Vain it is to try and shake him,
Or insist you’re vacant quite,
Useless task to try and make him
Comprehend you “never write.",
Still he holds you,
Closer folds you,
And repeats his question trite.
It won’t work to swear you’re hurrying,
And will “sure be late to class.”
Isn’t any use of worrying,
You can’t “cut” suh nery brass.
With me,
Don’t you agree,
He’s a most consummate ass?
A Problem in Indian Education The scholars at Carlisle and Lawrence are doing much for the youths of the different Indian Tribes. In these schools the young Indians are taught to read and write, a matter of relatively small importance, to work at trades by means of which they might become self supporting, a matter of greater importance and, finally to estimate life according to civilized standards, a matter of the highest importance.
The importance of this advantage, great as it is, is equaled by the difficulty which the children find in its
retention upon their return to their several tribes. No one will be disposed to deny that the estimate of life has a determining effect upon conduct. Few, perhaps, realize how largely the estimate of life is determined by publice opinion, not necessarily the opinion of the great public, but the opinion of that portion of the public with which they come in contact. The public opinion of an Indian village is as tryanuous as that of a white community. This public opinion each of the children from Haskell and Carlisle will have to face. He will be ostracised if he defies it. It is not hard to guess the probable result. I have known of a graduate of Yale sleeping under the tail of a surveyor's wagon and begging him for food for his squaw and papooses. I have seen a graduate of the St. Louis University step on board a Missouri steamer blanketed and painted like the rest of his tribe.
If the greatest benefit which the Indian child derives from Haskell is the ability to estimate life according to higher standards, it is the hardest problem in Indian education how to secure this benefit to the graduates from such schools and to rescue them from the necessity of reforming, in appearance at least, to the estimate of life held by the tribe to which they must return.
The following is the account of a rush" which occurred at Rutgers:
"The Sophomores and Freshmen posted notices of class prayer meetings to be held in the chapel at the same hour. The worshippers came together and a "rush" ensued. The religious tendencies of the Sophomores predominated; the Freshmen were banished and '91 worshipped in peace."
The editor of an exchange unloads himself thusly: "You may have the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd, and unbuckle the belly band of eternity and let the sun and moon out, but don't think you can escape the place that lies on the other side of Purgatory if you don't subscribe and pay for your paper.
"They must upward still and onward who would keep abreast of truth." Palladium never gets beyond the truth but she keeps right abreast of it.
One thing concerning Palladium is remarkable. She allows even the despised "barb" to influence he actions and yet her councils are characterized by intelligence, good nature and harmony. The old court house even seems to enjoy the visit
of that society with its innocent and disinterested motives.
Palladium.
No criminal is ever found among the members of that society, yet old C. H. listens with a breast heaving in an agony of suppressed mirth to the harmless trials that are imposed upon some innocent member and which result in his complete exhonoration. It was not at all uninteresting to listen to the puffling of Krebiel or the thinking of Dalby or the gnashing teeth of O'Leary or the poetry, side-rending poetry of Ennes.
If you desire to find something which you can appreciate, come next Saturday night. P. L. SOCIETY.
The following in the Tribune of Feb. 27, voices our sentimen ex-actly:
"No words that can be writ no arguments that can be produce so clearly demonstrate the necessi of placing the University in a position to be independent of the whims and caprices of legislative bodies as did the Senate debate on the appropriation bill. Men who are usually calm and considerate in all matters, who were well informed as to the needs of the institution, were carried away by inflammatory speeches and voted for measures they knew to be wrong, which they realized afterward would injure the University beyond repair. It is true that when they recovered from the effect of the debate they receded from the position they had taken, but this sudden change of policy only gives the more weight to the argument that it is dangerous to trust the welfare of the institution in the hands of those who can thus so easily be swayed by an outburst of oratory, or the play of one man's passion. Every man in the Legislature should have the welfare of the University at heart, and there is no doubt that all have, but when personal considerations interfere, when the member from Douglas votes against a pet bill of the member from Dickinson or some other county, then the latter "has it in for" the member from Douglas, and considering the University as the personal property of the latter he at once seeks to "play even," by choking the appropriation bill. Not until the University is placed above and beyond such petty strife and out of reach of such person bickering can the State hope to build up such an institution as the high educational status of Kansas demands. The sooner the University is independent of the vacillating policy of the biennial sessions the sooner Kansas will be at the head in point of advantages for higher education.

The telescope which the Southern California University proposes to erect on Wilson's Peak will have a glass of forty-two inches—eight inches larger than the famous Lick telescope, and will cost, it is estimated, about one hundred thousand dollars. It is claimed that it will make the surface of the moon as distinctly visible to the naked eye as if it were only sixty miles. It will require five years to make the glass.
The new cry of the class of '92 of the University of Pennsylvania is: "Rah! 'Rah! Red! 'Rah! Rah! Blue! Penn-syl-vania! Ninety-two!" The "Sophs," however, change it to the following: "Ma-ma! Red! Pa-pa! Blue! Chris's Babies! Ninety-two."—Ex.

A Sophomore, stuffing for examination, has adopted the ethics of Sunday work in a way to render the future elucidation of the subject unnecessary.

Spangler, of Lawaence, is a graduate of the University, and is, perhaps, the best informed man of the Board, as to the history and needs of the institution. Minneapolis Messenger.
The article on the Tribune's candidate for Chancellor, in last week's issue of the Courier crept into our columns without our knowledge Nothing in the article whatever voices the sentiment of this paper except the last sentence, and that sentence is this: "Without expressing our preference we believe that neither politics nor religion should control the appointment of the new Chancellor." If those who are kind enough to write editorials will please hand them to the Editor-in-chief,they will receive our grateful thanks.
WE HAVE just received a circular of information of the Dickinson County High School, established in accordance with the provisions of an act passed in 1886, whereby any county in the State, having a population of six thousand inhabitants or over, is given the power to establish a county high school. Dickinson county is the first county in the State to take advantage of this act. The school will open on the 4th of next September in an elegant new building erected at a cost of over $12,-000, at Chapman. Three courses are given. The collegiate course will prepare students for the higher State institutions, the general course will equip the student for business life, and the Normal course will give training to teachers. The Principalelect, Mr. S. M. Cook, A. B., is a graduate of the Kansas State University, has had six years experience in teaching and is at present Superintendent of schools at Solomon City, Kansas. The establishment of such schools as these in every county in the State would be highly beneficial to K. S. U.
Robert Elsmere.
From the college senior down to Gladstone, everybody is saying his say about Elsmere. Everybody finds in the book what nature or education has fitted him to find. As the members of a small religious sect, whose opinions, in the main, the book upholds, I might be expected to find in it matter solely for rejoicing.
Yet it was not easy to rejoice at the conviction which forced itself upon my mind that Elsmere's religion is not the logical outcome of his convictions, but a matter of temperament—the imaginative loving temperament of the Celt. His faith was deduced, is possibly not deducible from his intellectual beliefs. A nature less buoyant and sweet than his thought starting with the same premises would hardly reach the same conclusions. Natures as sweet, but less buoyant, have found the universe a hopeless tangle with only one thing clear in all the bewildering snarl, the necessity for right conduct; and they have laid hold on this by means of the same Divine unreason which Elsmere shows. Minds like the Squire's, neither buoyant nor sweet, will not be able to understand why, when so much has been abandoned, so much should be retained; why in the last resort, appeal must be made from reason to something higher.
Ours is a home-made country and we are home-made men. It is the pride of America that within herself were found those elements essential to her greatness.
If no one may kindle at any other fire than that of inner inspiration, the torch which is to be for a light to his feet, many must walk in darkness.
In America were reared the brains and the braun that shaped the destinies of our land and stamped her politics with a bright U. S.
She produced her own flax and her rivers furnished power to weave it. In colonial days her strongest men were great and her greatest men were strong. The hardy men who marched from end to end of the thirteen colonies to secure the blessings of liberty and of a free prosterity, had been afoot previous to the battle of Lexington. In boyhood, Washington was noted for his strength and his agility. He threw a stone across the Potomac. Afterwards he threw his mind and soul with his bodily exertions into the struggle for independence and threw off the yoke of servitude from an oppressed child of Great Britain.
A lithe body always gives us the impression of an alert intellect. A sleepy person is not often very sharp.
Now an athletic contest will awaken any participant. We should have a day of contests once a month. Why not get ready for a field day? I may be mistaken about the intentions of the lilac, but I anticipate that those early shoots of tender green are preparations for a display next month. We are all green and no one needs fear the others. Possibly if we try, by field-day we can find some one able to jump with weights ten feet; to clear a running leap of fourteen feet; some one who can run one hundred yards in fifteen seconds; some person to throw a ball half as far as Washington threw the stone; some one who can walk four miles in an hour, etc.
Can we not prevail upon the merchants of the town to offer some cash premiums for field-day contests?
A purse is better than betting every time. For the boys who make up the purse do not expect to get it back, and so are not going to raise a row.
A good race is even now on hand waiting for a suitable reward, and we should enjoy the sight of it. The writer is not a race horse nor does he claim to excel in running. But to set the ball rolling, he is willing to assist some of these runners get the prize, if the boys will offer a purse.
And why not "chip in" among ourselves for some races and jumping contests in the mean time?
enthusiasm to have an entertaining field-day? Let's do it, boys.
Can't the University arouse enough
Literary Notes.
It may not be generally known that some of the most successful, as well as some of the most excellent books published by American authors are written by what might be called western people, that is, by people who were born at least as far west as Ohio or Illinois. Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., the Boston publishers, issue this month a classical catalogue of their books by western authors, by which it appears that nearly fifty of the authors whose works are published by their house, reside In Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, or some other western State.
Judged by the extent of the circulation of his work, probably General Lew Wallace deserves to be placed at the head of any list of western writers. Though not in such great demand as Mrs. Stowe's most popular book, General Wallace's "Fair God" resembles "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in this respect, that its sale is nearly if not quite as good as it was at the time when its fascination was first felt.
Among western writers, Joseph Kirkland, of Chicago, described as "a military-looking man, not far advanced in years," is taking rank as a master in realistic portraiture of life in the prierie towns. Mr. Kirkland's first book, "Zury, the Mennest Man in Spring County," met with an excellent reception; his latest book is "The McVeys." James K. Hosmer, of the Washington University in St.Louis, is the author of "The Life ef samuel Adams," and of the new "Life of Young Sir Henry Vane." probably the best biographies of those eminent statesmen. Thomas M. Cooley of Michigan, Lucien Carr of Missouri, Rusus King of Ohio, J. P. Dunn of Indianapolis, N. S. Shaler of Kentucky, Josiah Royce of Californiia, and James Phelan, member of Congress from Tennessee, although active in professional and practical affairs, are also the authors of admirable books of history or biography. John Hay, the Cary sisters, the Piats, E. R. Sill, and Ed. M. Thompson, all of Ohio, are widely read poets. These names, selected at random, by no means exhaust the list, for W. D. Howells, a resident of New York, but really an Ohioman, Mary N. Murfree ("Charles Egbert Craddock"), of Tennessee, and Bret Harte who is among the strongest and best known of American writers, each employing a distinctively original method, and enjoying a reputation in England as well as in America. The scene of nearly all of Harte's works is the west, but as he now resides in England his publishers do not classify him as a "Western Author," but as an "Author of Works on Western Topics." We think it has not been suspected how active and prolific the west is in the production of excellent literature. Other western authors whose work is admirable might be named, and new western authors are likely to appear even in larger numbers in the near future.
The following is taken from the American Geologist for March: Prof. F. H. Snow, of the Kansas State University, recently made careful examination of the rocks now being mined for nickel in Logan county, Kansas. According to his report there is an entire absence of crystalline rocks. The so-called "nickel ore" is the prevailing fragmental rock of the Tertiary age, the characteristic conglomerate or pudding-stone which overlies the eroded surface of the Niobrara limestones and shales. The color of this rock at the "mines" is darker than that of the ordinary conglomerate, but it is unmistakably the
same kind of rock. A chemical analysis of specimens of these rocks by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, reveals the presence of nickel and cobalt in very small quantities. A special examination of one specimen said to be among the richest, showed not more than one-third of one per cent of cobolt and one-tenth of one per cent of nickel. The specimens examined were of his own selection.
Prof. Snow explains the presence of nickel in this rock by referring it to meteoric origin, from dust that fell into the old Tertiary ocean, in the same manner as it now falls into the Atlantic ocean, as revealed by the dredgings of the Challenger expedition.
We thank God we are not as other students are! That we are not windy and blowhard like DePauw students. That we are not tough and stuck up like they are at the State University. That we are not so green as they grow at Hanover. That we don't have to plow as they do at Purdue. That we don't always get left at the State oratorical like Franklin. That there are not as many flees on us as on Butler students. Thank God we are not like others!—The Wabash.
True to progressive principles the students of the University of South Carolina have risen in righteous indignation against the action of the power in removing Professor Woodrow for entertaining the belief that evolution does not conflict with Christianity. The South Carolina University authorities might well spare time, if they have not already done so, to read "Evolution and its Relation to Religious Thought." De Pauw Adz.
Considerable excitement has been caused at Wesleyan by the hazing of some Freshmen recently. Eight Sophomores took out some Freshmen and after rolling them down hill in barrels, set them climbing telegraph poles with the assistance of paddles. After some more "experience" the Freshmen were left in the graveyard to which they had been conducted. Ex.

In the Chicago Daily News of March 7, Eugene Field in his department pays our own Will Simpson, formerly of K. S. U., the following complimentary notice:
"Here are three good poems. They were written by Mr. W. H. Simpson of Topeka, Kans. None but a Kansas man could have written the first.
JOHN BROWN.
John Brown—that's all; a serious-purposed man,
Hard-banded, tender-hearted; God's great plan
Through his gnarled, knotty nature pulsing ran.
"Fanatic!" hissed the mob, with loud acclaim;
They unremembered; he, clos- clasped by fame.
While fades away the gallows' dreadful shame.
Each cause Its Christ, its sacrifice to might!
Soon scorn is done, and freedom's piercing light
Dispels the mists 'round Calvary's awful height!
SHERIDAN.
Outward, and over—away;
Hurry, good steed, nor delay;
Trembling, unpolished is the fray.
Foam-flecked, as waves out at sea,
Sinewy, pulsing, and free—
Forward, the day walts for me!
Thus to his horse, as it flew,
Daring, and steady, and true—
Winchester saved for the blue.
* * * * * *
Merely a hush in the night,
Simply a fading of light;
And a warrior gone from our sight.
Softly, and lightly, and low,
Blow ye again, bugles blow,
For the soldier asleep with the foe!
LULLABY.
Out of the dark into light,
Into day-dawn from the night;
Down from a perilous height—
Baby dear,
Do not fear!
Strange is the wind and the tide,
The heavens eternally wide;
Less fathomed, this life at my side—
Mother's near,
Do not fear!
Your eyes look steadfast at me,
Something unseen seems to see,
Thought of a bird or a bee—
Hark and hear,
Do not fear!
Love it was beckoned to you
Over the hills, through the blue
Shadows that shut God from view—
I am here,
Do not fear!
A large audience assembled in the Unity Club rooms Monday night and listened to Prof. Blake's interesting lecture on "Mesmerism." Mr. Smith, the well-known mesmerist, was present, but refused to display his powers. Considerable interest in the science has been awakened in University circles, and a large number of students were present. Prof. Franklin will continue the course by a lecture on "Hypnotism and the Faith Cure."
Regents' Meeting.
At the meeting of the University Regents Monday and Tuesday, the following officers and committees
were named: Vice-president, M. P. Simpson; recording secretary, C. S. Gleed; auditor, C. R. Mitchell; board of instruction, C. S. Gleed, W. C. Spagnler, J. F. Billings; committee on library, W. C. Spangler, C. S. Gleed, J. A. Lippincott; finance, C. R. Mitchell, Joel Moody, M. P. Simpson; buildings and grounds, Joel Moody, J. A. Lippincott, C.S.Gleed; lands and endowments, J.F.Billings, C.R.Mitchell, M.P.Simpson.
The chair of Anatomy, Physiology and Taxidermy was established and L. L. Dyche elected professor. Prof Dyche was given leave of absence until next November in order to collect specimens in British America W. C. Stephens, '85, was elected assistant in Natural History. Prof J. H. Canfield was granted an assistant in the Political Science department, and provisions were made for assistants for the departments of Pharmacy, Chemistry and Modern Languages. The salary of Prof. A. G. Canfield was also raised to $1,700 as he has been working for two years as professor, at an assistant's salary. The question of a successor to Chancellor Lippincott was referred to the committee on instruction. The board adjourned to meet again April 30.
Cabaza De Vaca.
A large audience greeted Senator Moody last Tuesday evening in University Hall, to listen to his most interesting lecture on the warderings and adventures of Cabaza De Vaca, a Spanish adventurer, who had come over to Florida with Narvaez's expedition. The Senator first described the expedition of Narvaez's party of 300 men to Apallache, in search of gold. They were lured far into the interior, and only after a hard struggle did 242 of the 300 escape. The account left by the Spaniards of the great strength and marvelous skill of those Indians in the use of the bow is wonderful. The superior steel armor worn by the Spaniards afforded them scarcely any protection against the deadly force and precision with which these Indians sent their arrows.
The Spaniards finally reached the Gulf of Mexico, worn out and almost starved. They had found no gems, no gold, no great land to subject, and no great people to Christianize. They wandered along the coast to the Bay of Horses, so called from the fact that here they killed and ate all their horses, made boats of their skins, ropes of their tails and manes, and water bottles of the skins of their legs. Having fitted out five boats, they embarked and sailed toward the
west. But wherever they chanced to land for water they were met by hostile Indians. The savages had evidently determined to exterminate the white men who had treated them so cruelly, and had spread the news all along the Gulf coast. They had driven the Spaniards to sea and now evidently intended to keep them there.
On Nov. 6, 1528, however, Cabeza with his party landed on an island in what is now called Mobile Bay. Here they were reduced almost to slavery and were separated from one another. While in this slavery, Cabeza became a learned "medicine man" adding to the Indian prayers and incantations, many of the peculiar impressive ceremonies of the Roman Catholic church.
On September 1, 1529, in company with two other Spaniards and a negro, he escaped to the mainland and started toward the land of the setting of the sun, on a most wonderful journey. He was everywhere hailed as the "Child of the Sun" and great numbers of people accompanied him from one tribe to the other to whom he gave his blessing on paating. While on his journey he found it necessary to add to his knowledge of the Esculapean science, the skill of the merchant. From one tribe to the other he carried a few necessaries or curiosities, the sale of which gained him subsistence.
The party first went north to the Tombigbee river where they met a tribe of great smokers and drinkers. These Indians would smoke until stupifaction ensued and get on a three days drunk.
In May, 1535, Cabeza left the Tombigbee and crossed the mountains of northern Alabama to the beautiful valley of the Tennessee. Thence they journeyed westward until they came to a great river, the Mississippi, at almost the same place that DeSoto discovered it six years later. Thus to Cabeza De Vaca, and not to De Soto, belongs the honor of the discovery of the Mississippi. From here they journeyed westward through Arkansas, over the mountains in the western part of tha State, into the Indian Territory to the Neosho riuer. Thence north to the Verdigris,thence to the Arkansas following the river up around the great bend in Kansas, through the "cow country," these being the first white men who ever stepped on Kansas soil.
Leaving Kansas and the "cow country, he took an almost direct line to Las Vegas, where he saw the Pueblo Indians living in houses, cultivating fields and enjoying a certain degree of civilization. Here he found a great number of turquises. From
Las Vegas Cobea journeyed on southward across the Rio Grande, where he found traces of the Spaniards in Mexico.
On May 5, 1596, Cobeza, after fifteen years of wanderings through strange lands and among wild, uncivilized tribes, often destitute, hungry and naked, at last entered the City of Mexico, where he was welcomed by Cortez.
Such is the wonderful story of Cobeza de Vaca, and so well was it told by Senator Moody, that for two hours he held the closest attention of the audience. That we may have the privilege of enjoying many more such interesting lectures before the year closes is the earnest wish of the Courier.
Exchange.
At a reunion of Union Alumni in New York recently, Warner Miller delivered an address from which we extract the following: "In my day the requirements for admission were such that a boy could generally enter college at sixteen and graduate at twenty. He could then get a start which would enable him to enter upon his professional or business career before he was baldheaded. (Laughter.) Now, however, things are so that few men can graduate under twenty-three. Then comes three or four years in the professional school or in post graduate study, and before the college man is really skilled in his business or profession, he is well on toward the average limit of human life. I am not in accord with the present tendency of our colleges in making the course constantly broader and more difficult."

Gordon Gibb's loyalty to her alma mater is not of the kind that can be bought with a show of filthy lucre.
Ethan Allen.
A gentleman named Marratt was a visitor at Snow Hall Monday. He came all the way from Maime to view a few old musty bones. He owns a number of valuable horses, among them a descendent of the famous stallion, Ethan Allen. Ethan's dam had the spavin; the most famous of Ethan's peogeny, Pocahontas, who sold for $40,000, suffered from stiffened leg joints; and it has long been in dispute among horsemen as to the degree of limberness which Ethan's own legs enjoyed. This question is now settled. Mr. Marratt accompanied Prof. Snow, unpacked the bones of the old horse which had been carefully stored away in the attic of Snow Hall, and found that the bones of one of his hind legs were afflicted with this disease.

It's all right, dear contemp. We may devote a little more space to theology and orthodoxy than you are accustomed to reading, but we have not yet furnished Sol Miller a chance to use his facile pen.
We hope that our spring vacation will not be lost sight of. Washburn and Baker have had theirs, and our time is surely close at hand. The students are growing tired and desire a little rest before the final struggle.
The regents at their last meeting recognized the importance of work in History and Natural Science by granting the chair a full assistant. It is Professor Canfield's intention to devote himself largly if not entirely to American History and allied topics, making this a special department of effort, and possibly, in time, a separate chair. As he puts it: "I desire to aid these young and women in becoming good citizens, and above all, Americans from the ground up."
A University Glee Club. A good glee club is by no means the least among the many wants of K. S. U. It has come to be almost a necessity in every first-class institution. Many of the eastern colleges have glee clubs which have gained a wide reputation. Indeed even some of the smaller institutions have glee clubs which have gained much celebrity. In our own state, at our neighboring college, Washburn, is to be found a a glee club which is second to none in Kansas. This club is the pride of Washburn, and well it may be. For a good glee club not only gains celebrity for itself, but also advertises the institution which it represents. Besides it not only develops and cultivates musical talent, but it at the same time strengthens the social feeling among the students.
Then let us have a glee club. It will enliven our contests, our lectures and our concerts with inspiring music. And when we meet other colleges in contest we shall not be compelled as in the past, to yield the palm to them in music. By all means let us have a glee club formed at once.
The assumption of President Elliot of Harvard that higher and lower education can not be publicly supported with success is a strange one to come from a man who is supposed to be an educationist and who should be interested in the success of our public school system. Such an assumption can scarcely be regarded as other than an insult to the intelligence of our people who have made our public school system what it is, reaching as it does from the lowest to the highest, from the primary schools to the great state institutions, and offering the advantages of culture and refinement to all who will avail themselves of the opportunity. Our system of public education has not been narrowed to accord with the dollar and cents point of view—we hope it never will be—but has been established on the broader and better basis that an education is a benefit not only to the individual but also to the community in which that individual lives, to the society in which he moves. With this object in view the state has contributed teachers and buildings, and the hard working, toiling men and women of our land have given, at great sacrafice, the time of their sons and daughters. Many are the men and women of our land who bless the advantages of a higher education which the state gave them and feel through the beneficial influences of higher public education they have been led up to a higher, better and nobler plane of life.
Infidelity at K. S. U. There is a feeling throughout the state that the State University is a hot-bed of infidelity. This feeling has, no doubt, been caused by the misrepresentations of those "good" men sent out by the religious institutions of this state to gather in the lambs of the flocks that feed complacently in the pastures peculiar to these institutions. The mere assertion by these emmissaries that K. S. U. is an infidel institution serves to cover up a multitude of faults and deficiencies in their own institutions. Thus it is that the report of infidelity at K. S. U. has gained such prevalence in our state.
But while we can controvert the assertion that K. S. U. is an infidel institution, it can not be imputed to K. S. U. as a fault that many of our students leave their alma mater either with broader views of religion, or with grave doubts of all religion. That the former should be the case is only the result of a liberal education. That the latter should be the case does not necessarily cast any reflection on the University. For infidelity is found among the ignorant as well as among the educated, and its spirit is often found in the heart of the student when he enters the halls of K. S. U.
ED. COURIER:
The issue of March 15th, and the letter of "Alumnus" has started my Faber again this evening. I surmise that friend "Alumnus" thinks I don't give credit enough to the "barbs." Well, maybe I did not mention them. I was asking for news, and a loyal "frat." man will talk for his own brothers, while the graduate "barb" has no one to praise him.
I do not mean that the non frat boys are forgotten, by no means is that the case. No Oread who ever went to "meetin" can long forget old P.C. Young, whose ideas used to run so fast that the words came out edgeways, and who was compelled to use his arms to help himself talk fast enough. Then too, there was Dart, slow and solemn, who never spoke a word without due deliberation. I have always felt that a fraternity tie would have been a drawback to such fellows. They were not my frat men—nor yours—they were more, they were University men. It is not the chapter a man belongs to, it is not his social standing that gives him rank in college, it is his character as a man and student. The brilliant men in college do not as a rule rank first in active life; not always failure, but a sort of gentlemanly mediocrity seems to be their lot. I knew fellows in college who neglected study,who were at the front of all gangs bent on mischief,and about whom grave doubts were held,who are now industrious and highly respected men of business.I also know good students who dropped out of sight on graduation and who are barely making a living. I will venture to say that the old barbs to-day are just as strong as the old time Greeks.
No fraternity can claim to have all good men—All chapters have good shrewd fellows, all have their barnacles. The member of a Greek chapter, who only gets a place in society or on college papers because he is a Greek, not because he deserves it, is a barnacle. That tendency of Greek chapters to shove their light weights into prominence in this way is the worst feature of the fraternity system.
College boys are inclined to be very clannish. It would be far better if a general good feeling could be established between frats. A frat pin to a graduate of five years, standing means a good deal more than college boys can appreciate. I once heard a member of a certain fraternity say: "Phi Kappa Psi never yet initiated a gentleman." Phi Kappa Psi stock went up ten per cent. at once with me. I have met members of rival frats far away from any college influences, and we were brought together as closely as though members of the same frat. It is not the pin you wear that determines your rank, young man. If you are a fool a frat pin won't keep the world from knowing it. If you are a knave a shield or a diamond won't give you the respect of the people.
Fraternities are the strongest bond between college men and their alma mater. Ten years out of school and a barb has not one friend left, a frat man has his chapter still, and even tho' the boys be strangers, there is still a strong bond between him and the school.
A visit to alma mater always brings a host of recollections. The hour I spent on Mt. Oread a week or so ago was very enjoyable to me. I could not help calling up the scene as I first saw it ten years ago. The change has been marvelous: The University has grown in every way, yet I miss the "old boys." They are scattered far and wide and many have gone to rest. In olden times the "Arion Quartette" was our pride. One of the sweet singers has become silent. He was just beginning to be a pride to friends and school mates. A brilliant career was open to him when Death called him from the world.
My first examinations were a cause
of nightmare, and I did not have much time to notice my fellow sufferers. I do recall the impression a certain big fellow with a big nose made on me. He will soon be heard of, and favorably too—Albert Riffle is on the high road to success as a civil engineer, following closely the of his brother. Two strong, growing men are the trifles, deserving of a better notice than one of them got recently in a college paper.
Speaking of fraternities recalls Beta Kappa Chi. No one was hurt that evening; thanks to Joe Grover's good constitution and good nature—It was well, as a number of sinners were scared and looked for trouble. Such pranks are allright if they terminate well, but there is always a "might have been" that should hold the student back. The mystery, the secrecy and the dread of detection made that event one to be remembered by the "members" of Beta Kappa Chi. I am inclined to believe that the most lasting memories of college life are those of such daredevil schemes as only Twitchell or Will Brown could originate. In such plots and conspiracies the true character of our fellow students came out. Dull logic and tough mathematics were laid aside, and we saw not the book-worm nor politician, but the genuine boy, fun loving American boy, the stuff of which the men are made. R E. HENRY.

Science Club
The meeting of the Science Club last Friday evening was well attended! Messrs. Eames and Kellogg described the structural peculiarities of a two-bodied calf which had been dissected before the Anatomy class. This monstrocity had two bodies and only one head, the two spinal cords entering the skull through the same foramen. There was but one heart, while the air passed through two pairs of lungs. The passages to the lungs were simply very small aperures out of the ae sophagus. The bones, especially the vertebra and ribs, were very much deformed.

Last Saturday by invitation of Mrs. Prof. Carruth the Pi Beta Phi fraternity met at her home to listen to a lecture by Mrs. Whitman on Miss Louise M. Alcott. Mrs. Whitman's husband and Miss Alcott were playmates during their childhood and youth, and an intimate friendship continued between them throughout her life. An important feature of the lecture consisted of selections from Miss Alcott's side of the correspondence kept up by them. These letters are beautifully written and are especially interesting since they give a glimpse of her home life. The lecture was very entertaining and instructive and was presented in a charming manner. At the close of the reading Mrs. Carruth served light but elegant refreshments and the young ladies departed with a vote of thanks to the ladies who had given them so delightful an afternoon.

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.
This is no new organization to impose on the public, but the original mammoth Boston Ideals, which is the only company now on the road that gives a performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin complete. The entire play is presented from beginning to end, with all the incidents, and no pains have been spared to make it perfect in every detail. This criticism from the Boston Daily Post:
The old Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin Company opened their sixth annual tour at Lawrence last night to an enormous house, people being turned away from the theater long before eight o'clock. The success of this company has been phenominal and probably arises from the fact that they present the whole play and always carry a superior company.
MISS KATE CASTLETON.
You should remember these things. Miss Kate Castleton and her superb company of comedians appear at the Opera house Saturday evening, March 30, in her latest and most successful comedy, "A Paper Doll," in which fun runs fast and furious. It is replete with laughable incidents, funny situations, original music, magnificent costumes, modern in its construction and the humor belongs to the 19th century. We look forward to an evening of rare pleasure.
Don't buy your new hat until you see Abe Levy's stock.
The Bartimore Daily News says. Charming Kate Castleton, in her farce-comedy, "A Paper Doll," met with a warm reception last night at Holliday St. She looks younger and prettier than ever and her voice is just as sweet. "A Paper Doll" is an extravaganza in three acts in which each person on the stage is supposed to look funny, say funny things and sing funny songs, the combined effect of which, as may be imagined, serves to keep the audience in a continual roar.

The American Geologist
For Moech has a book by Dr. Alexander Winchell which treats of conglomerates and conjugitive appearances in granites. As calls attention to numerous instances, some of them ignored and forgotten by geologists, in which such conglomerates have been described in America and Europe. He concludes that such publicly aspects indicate unmistakably the sedimentary fragmental condition of the granites in which they are found, and inferentially on granites in general, Prof. N. H. (Winchell), another paper, gives an account of the establishment and development of this area on faunal science at the University of Minnesota. This paper is given by a fine plate of the University Dr. A. C. Lawson, of the geological survey of Canada, has an argumentative reply to some littleleries it that had been made by Dr. Winchell of some his work in the region of the Lake of the Woods.
