PERSONAL LETTERS AND TESTIMONIALS.
Prof. P. K. Dillenbeck has been for four sessions instructor in the science and art of Elocution and Oratory in Kentucky University. He has proved himself a master in his office. The students have made admirable progress under his instruction and drill. Prof. Dillenbeck thoroughly understands his task. He is remarkable for the aptness of his teaching, his skill in training students, in the success which attends his work and in the general industry and diligence he shows as a teacher. We regret very much that we cannot keep him here.
CHAS. Louis Loos, President Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky.
From Mrs. Mary Cecil Cantrell, Kentucky, Executive Committee and at large of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition:
"It becomes an unqualified pleasure for me to commend to any people or audience Prof. Preston K Dillenbeck, both as a gentleman and a thorough master of the twin arts of interpretation and expression. His method in both teaching and delivering conforms so faithfully to nature that it scarcely seems art at all. All the delicate shadings of thought and sentiment are so deftly rendered that to attuned ears all criticism becomes only a synonym for praise."

THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
VOL. XII.
LAWRENCE, KANS., OCTOBER 5, 1893.
No. 5.
The Courier is published every Thursday during collegiate year by the University Courier Publishing Co,
Subscription $1.00 per year in advance, single copies 5 cents
Address all communications and contributions to the editor-in-chief; all business communications to the business manager, and subscriptions to the circulator, Lawrence, Kansas.
Entered at the Lawrence postoffice as second-class matter.
J. L. HARRINGTON, Editor.
M. L. ALDEN, Local Editor.
MACGREGOR DOUGLAS, Literary and Exchange Editor.
L. S. CHAMBERLAIN, Athletic and Amusement Editor.
E. P. LUPFER, Managing Editor.
C. R. TROXEL, BENJ. HORTON.
Business Manager. Circulator.
BEGINNING WITH its next issue the COURIER will appear as a twenty page paper. The four additional pages will be devoted entirely to reading matter; thus we nope to make the paper more attractive in many ways. The COURIER's columns are open to all communications that its space and policy will permit it to print, and it is hoped that both the students and faculty will make free use of the opportunity thus offered them to express their opinion on all subjects of interest to the University.
It is remarkable what a large number of the old students send in their subscriptions for the Courier on a postal card. The fact that it takes money, and a considerable amount of it, too, to publish the Courier seems to be almost universally ignored. If the old student will make a great effort he will be able to remember that the money necessary to support the Courier was very hard to get while he was in school; and he will consider that he can confer no greater favor than to use an envelope and enclose something that the printer will accept.
THE LECTURE Bureau has very materially strengthened the course offered by adding the name of Henry Matterson, the well known orator, to those mentioned last week. None of these lectures and concert companies have ever appeared in Lawrence; yet all are well known, and some are of world-wide reputation. The number of tickets will be limited to six hundred, much less than the seating capacity of the house; hence those who are fortunate enough to secure course tickets will be sure of good seats. The tickets will be for sale to students two days before they are offered to the general public, but it is hoped that there will be enough to accommodate all who want them.
THE SAME deplorable tendency to divide into factions which showed itself among the students last year appeared again in the recent class elections. Such quarrels are a disgrace to the University, and every student who has the least spark of patriotism about him will do his utmost to prevent them. They are inconsistent with the high standard of honor which should characterize the true student. We are supposed to have in the University the most intelligent and cultivated of the young people of the state, the advance guard of our civilization, yet more petty, disgraceful quarrels cannot be found in any rank of society than these. Rivalry and class spirit are commendable when a high sense of honor and justice prevails; otherwise they descend to the most deplorable traits.

The University Courier.
A very insipid and illogical article, prefaced by an editorial denial of any responsibility therefor, appeared in last weeks issue of the Students' Journal. It attempts to show that absolutely no good can come from fraternities, that their principles are evil without conception, and that popular opinion demands that they be destroyed. It seems ridiculous that any one should make such statements, in the face of so much evidence to the contrary, and without furnishing any evidence in their support; and more astonishing yet that the editor of the Students' Journal should give space to such a weak article. We do not wish to combat the statements, for they are not supported by any evidence or argument, and hence are worth nothing as they stand. Much might be said to prove them unfounded but such waste of ink is unnecessary.
Much that should be condemned in the average American newspaper is found wanting in nearly all of the college papers, but occasionally we find a sheet, always from some minor college; that stoops to the contemptible practice of throwing invective at its neighbors. It is a very common idea that the college newspaper exists merely to afford its staff an opportunity to glorify themselves: if such were the case college journalism should soon become a thing of the past. But the college paper has an important work to do. It should be its business to improve the low moral tone of the American newspaper by maintaining a high standard itself, and thus increasing the desire on the part of the public for news of the best nature only. When any college paper so far forgets its office as to reply to such edltorials as are to be found in the last issue of the Baker Beacon, it not only gives encouragement to such a low standard of journalism, but demeans itself and the institution it represents. By making such attacks the Beacon lowers itself in the estimation of the thinking public, and attaches the same stigma to the college it claims to represent that it does to itself. The Courier regrets that any college paper should adopt a policy that makes such criticism necessary; but it believes that unprejudiced criticism will do much to correct such errors.

There are sixty-one students enrolled in the school of electrical engineering. This number is larger than ever before, and the facilities of the department are taxed to the utmost.
The Glee and Banjo Club, at its meeting Saturday morning, elected J. L. Harrington president, John Nicholson treasurer, and Jack Morgan property man. At a meeting last week of Mr. Piatt, business manager, R. K. Moody and, Chancellor Snow, it was decided that the University was unable to give the Glee and Banjo Club the financial support as was hoped, and that the Club should be managed and the net proceeds divided among the members as in the past.
At a meeting of the Senior class last Wednesday the following officers were elected: Archie Hogg, president; J. V. May, vice president; Laura Radford, secretary; Arthur Corbin, treasurer; Mary Barkley, William Piatt, R.W. Carter, executive committee.

Miss Cady, State secretary for the Young Women's Christian Association, visited the University association last week, and announced that the state committee had selected Lawrence for the state convention of the Young Women's Christian Association to be held November 2-5. The University organization feels it an honor not only to the association but to the University, and will do all in their power to make the stay of their guests as pleasant as possible.
During the summer months a few University Professors and town people organized, at Professor Sayre's house, a club for the purpose of considering questions of municipal interest, laying stress upon city improvement. At the last meeting of the Club, a paper was read by Dr. Williston on Water Supply. Professor Hodder is the secretary of this organization, and it is hoped that the influence of this Club will be felt. The organization is non-partizan, and takes no side politically.
Chancellor Snow left this week to attend the Centennial Anniversary exercises of his Alma Mater, Williams College, where he has been invited to deliver one of the addresses on that very important occasion. Williams College has among its Alumni some of the most prominent educators in the country, who have also been invited to participate in these exercises. Chancellor James H. Canfield of the Nebraska State University will deliver one of the important addresses of the week. No event in the college world has happened for years, which is attracting more interest than this auspicious gathering of the Alumni of one of the best known institutions of learning in the land.

The University Courier.
Stewart Henry, of the class of '91, has written an article in the Contemporary Review of August, entitled "The Gray and Gay Race." It has attracted a great deal of attention, and was noticed in the September number of the "Revue Bleue," the leading French Magazine.
The students are delighted to see the rapid progress that is being made on the new library building; but still they do not understand what authority the contractor has for blockading the street with building material so as to make it almost impassible. Last week during the rainy days it was impossible for students living west of Ohio street and north of the University to attend classes without going three or four blocks out of their way by going down Ohio street to Adams, and then climbing the hill. It is bad enough to have to climb the hill every day to reach classes, but it seems an imposition to the student already on the hill, to be compelled to go down and then climb it again in order to reach the University. A side walk should be built to replace the one torn up by the contractor.
For the past two years, the departments of Political Economy and American History have given each Friday, an hour of very interesting work to those interested in these departments. Usually the Seminary work is done by students from these departments, but often prominent men in politics or professional life have added much to make it a success. On last Friday the first Seminary of the year was held in Professor Hodder's American History room. Professor Hodder had charge, and spoke half an hour very pleasantly and instructively on the early organization of the Indian Territory, then showing by map illustrations how Oklahoma was formed. Mr.Orr, of the Law school, then gave a vivid description of the rush made on September 16. Mr. Orr was in the line himself and his talk was most interesting. These Seminaries will be held every other Friday afternoon from 4 to 5 p. m., and topics of interest to every one will be presented from time to time.
On Friday, Sept., 22, at 12:40 p. m., the students were called together in the chapel to listen to a short talk by Mrs. Clark upon the benefits of
physical culture. Mrs. Clark intends organizing a class in the University for the instruction of physical culture, and if a class of two hundred can be organized, a tuition of only one dollar will be charged for the entire course. If a class of that size cannot be organized, a tuition of two dollars will be necessary. Monday, at 10:15, 11:15, and 12:00, Mrs. Clark met the students in the basement of Snow Hall and drilled them for twenty minutes on elementary exercises. Nearly all who availed themselves of the opportunity to go over to Snow Hall announced their intention to join the class if the necessary two hundred were secured so as to make the tuition only one dollar, and a large number have already joined. The healthy glow upon the cheeks of the girls when they were dismissed after the last exercise told in itself the great benefits to be derived through this physical culture. It is a splendid thing, and is something which every student in the University ought to take. The slight cough which the exercise gave some of the students signified that portions of their lungs were being used that had not been in use for a long time. It is well known that after the exercise the brain being clearer one is able to accomplish much more than he otherwise would in the same space of time. After the class has been fairly started, the physical culture student will be easily distinguished from the one who never thinks of recreation, by his erect carriage, clear eye and vigor which the others do not possess. Foot-ball has been objected to because it gives benefit to but a few. Physical culture reaches the whole body of students, and if it is taken hold of and appreciated as it should be, Kansas University will have a healthier class of students.

ATHLETICS.
Come out earlier, more time for practice is needed, and must be found.
Baker has offered expenses to Hamilton, last year's full back of Marmaduke military academy.
Baker is playing hard ball. She has had the assistance of Goodale, Amherst's half back, for several weeks.
M. S. U. complains because Ann Arbor does not play the winner of the Thanksgiving day game. Ann Arbor probably judges from precedence.
Profs. Scott, Harshbarger and Chavis from the faculty, and Mason, McEachron and Boughton representing the students, constitute Washburn's athletic board for 1893.
The plans for a local field day this fall are being discussed by the athletic committee. In this all foot ball men will be barred. The reason given is to bring out new material.
The only change in the foot ball rules of 1893 occurs in rule 30一“The snapper back is entitled to full and undisturbed possession of the ball." Last year the snapper back held but half the ball.
So far no change has occurred in the provisional team. They have improved greatly in interference, but tackling is still a weak point. The committee are discussing the advisability of an hour's practice for the 'Varsity in the morning.
The second eleven will probably be chosen this week. The work of this team has been very favorably criticised, in fact too much praise cannot be given to these men, upon whose efforts the success of the 'Varsity so largely depends.
If possible the management will arrange a game with the Y.M.C.A.eleven of Kansas City for next Saturday, October 7, on McCook field. This team has been reorganized with the addition of several 'Varsity men. They are practicing daily at Exposition park.
74
The University Courier.
The athletic association has appointed a representative to look after our interests in the Southwest Inter-Collegiate field day, to be held at Kansas City. The Fairmount Park association offers prizes to the amount of $500 and grounds. The date has not yet been settled.
In foot ball, individual plays count but little; while on the other hand, the efficiency of team work can never be over estimated. And no where can the 'Varsity of '93 find a better example of this winning factor than in the work of last years champions. Precedent should rule, gentlemen.
Last Friday Mr. Moody signed the closing articles of agreement for the game with the Minnesota State University, to take place October 14, at Minneapolis, Minn. M. S. U. held the championship of the northwest last year, defeating Ann Arbor, University of Wisconsin and the Northwestern University. A great game is expected.
From the report of the treasurer the athletic association has made a net gain of $648.03 over and above the amount expended. The total receipts for the past year are $1,296.27, of this amount, $580.74, was received from foot ball games, $144.20 from base ball and $571.33 from miscellaneous sources. At the beginning of last year the athletic association was in debt to the amount of $283.39 for permanent improvements on McCook field. For miscellaneous expenses, including equipments for the foot ball and base ball teams, there was expended $931.63. There must also be reserved from the net receipts $150.25 for the gymnasium building fund and $40.00 for a trophy, which leaves a balance in the treasury of $174.39.
Athletic Election.
In accordance with section 1, article IV, of the constitution of K. S. U. Athletic association, "The meetings shall be held annually before the first of October," the summons were issued last Thursday. But no one needed to warn the students of the coming election. Everybody knew that the time was approaching. The '97 men for the first time realized their
importance; for the first time felt the thrilling sensation of college patriotism.
Leaders had been working days before and were soon to realize the success or defeat of their most cherished plans.
The past rumor concerning the law school had become a fact, and shortly before 5 o'clock they were present, fifty strong. Their appearance created great consternation among the ones—many were hopelessly broken, new ones named, but by the time the gong sounded anything had been patched up and the great dent body adjourned to the chapel.
After a few remarks by Chancellor Snow, concerning the rapid advance of athletics at K. U., the reports of the secretary, treasurer and finance committee were read and adopted. Prof. Green and Garrett,'95,were nominated for president.The vote, as indicated by the showing of hands, was quite sectional. Garrett was elected.J.V.May,'94,was chosen secretary.Unanimous consent re-elected R.K. Moody treasurer.For the first member of the executive committee the election of Orr,'94 was unanimous and after a hard fight,Harding, '95,and Kutz,'94,were declared members of the board.The supporters of the various interests then adjourned to elect representatives.
Williamson, '95, and Mattison, '96, received the honors in foot ball; Miss Whitman, '94, and Prof. Newson were elected by the tennis enthusiasts, while Coleman, '94, and Edwards, '95, were chosen by the oarsmen.
As usual the great fight took place in the base ball room, and after a short but decisive struggle Hogg,'94,and Steinberger, pharmacy,'94 were declared elected.
But in spite of all the wire-pulling and combines the athletic board is composed of representative men, and no interests will suffer at their hands.

Prof. P. K. Dillenbeck has been for four sessions instructor in the science and art of Elocution and Oratory in Kentucky University. He has proved himself a master in his office. The students have made admirable progress under his instruction and drill. Prof. Dillenbeck thoroughly understands his task. He is remarkable for the aptness of his teaching, his skill in training students, in the success which attends his work and in the general industry and diligence he shows as a teacher. We regret very much that we cannot keep him here.
CHAS. Louis Loos, President Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky.
From Mrs. Mary Cecil Cantrell, Kentucky, Executive Committee and at large of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition:
"It becomes an unqualified pleasure for me to commend to any people or audience Prof. Preston K Dillenbeck, both as a gentleman and a thorough master of the twin arts of interpretation and expression. His method in both teaching and delivering conforms so faithfully to nature that it scarcely seems art at all. All the delicate shadings of thought and sentiment are so deftly rendered that to attuned ears all criticism becomes only a synonym for praise."

THE INCREASED number of subscriptions to the Courier sent in by former students is very gratifying testimony of the more intense interest in the University by its students. It is largely due to our patriotic alumni that the University has been able to take the high position it now holds among the great universities of America; hence we see in this increased interest an indication of the future greatness of our Alma Mater.
THE BAKER students cause themselves much unnecessary trouble by trying to keep secret the condition of their foot ball team and the amount and kind of training it is receiving. Part of those who stray as far as. Lawrence deny that the team is training hard and that it has a coach while others boast of the hard work it is doing and of the extraordinary ability of their coach. It would be well if they would get together and fix up their tale before they leave home.
WHERE is the class spirit this year? Not only the class of '94 but all other classes as well, are distinguishing themselves by doing absolutely nothing. Neither precedent in Kansas University nor the example of the Universities about us can induce any of the classes to get up either a foot ball or base ball game. The mighty Seniors won't wear plug hats as did the class of'89 and thus afford the egotistical Sophmores much amusement and inspire the timid Freshman with profound admiration. All seem hard at work trying to appear busy.
A few students are showing a very unpatriotic spirit by greatly exercising themselves over the illegality of the library and laboratory funds. The latter are used to purchase the materials the student uses in his work. The legislature evidently intended that they should be paid for in this way for no money was appropriated with which to purchase them; and if the students refuse to pay the dues, it will be necessary to cease work in those studies in which materials are used. The library fee is not so essential; but it is small, and the books purchased with the money thus obtained will benefit the student far more than the amount of the fund.
THE SLIGHT knowledge we possess of the tactics and the strong and weak points of the foot bail teams our victorious team will soon meet, will cause as much trouble as any weakness in our own team; but Baker plays the Missouri State University at Kansas City, and the State University of Iowa, plays Denver at Denver next Saturday. Hence we shall be able to learn something of the strength and tactics of four teams. If our team maintain its past re-

cord it is necessary that it receive all possible encouragement at home; hence no patriotic student should consider an hour wasted that is spent at the athletic field watching practice games. It may be a small thing but every little helps.
It is hard to understand the lack of interest in a gymnasium manifested by the students. The one we possess is entirely inadequate to the needs of the student body, yet practically no effort is being made to obtain a better one. The students need to raise only half the amount necessary to build one, for it is generally understood that our benefactor, Col. McCook, will give us as much more as we succeed in raising. One plan for obtaining the money which is being mildly advocated by a few of the students is to make a corporate body of the Athletic Association and, instead of considering every member of the University a member, as at present, extend the privileges of membership to those only who take sufficient interest in the Association to pay a membership fee. While the amount thus obtained would do much toward building a gymnasium, the greater benefit which would arise from the adoption of such a plan would be the correction of the evils which now exist in the election and qualifications of officers.
We hope soon to give a definite account of the plans upon which the more successful Associations of our sister institutions are organized. Until then let every student who takes even a passing interest in the improvement of Athletics in the University, work upon some plan for obtaining a gymnasium.
It is difficult to understand why the Literary society does not flourish in the University of Kansas. By the majority of the students it is thought good enough for small colleges and normal schools, but beneath the dignity of University students; but that idea does not obtain in any other western University. Some of our fanatical students say that the fraternities would immediately assume the control of the society and crowd out a large portion of the best workers, and, hence, that it is impossible for the Literary society to flourish here; but a glance at our exchanges will demonstrate the falsity of these statements. There is not a single college, east or west, from which we receive exchanges that has not its Literary societies; yet the fraternity exists in all of the large schools, and the fraternity student is found in hearty co-operation with the non-fraternity student in this Literary work; and there is no evident reason why a similar condition could not exist here. Many of the scientific students are doing good work in the Scientific Club; but, with the exception of the necessary themes and forensies, the Literary student is doing almost no work which calls for any creative effort on his part. Our place in the state oratorical contest for several years has shown a deplorable lack of address in even the best prepared of our students; and the Regents have been severely censured because they have not established a chair of Oratory to remedy this evil; yet the students have shown so little interest in their own improvement in this direction that they have not made use of the opportunities they possess. The time necessary to carry on such work would be well spent. The expense of such societies would be practically nothing. If more than one were founded, a healthful spirit of rivalry that would lend sufficient interest to the work would soon arise; and we would find ourselves better prepared for the work that will be required of us when we leave the University than we can possibly be under the existing conditions. We have the talent; we have the ambition; we have the energy; why shall we not use them for our own good?
The umbrella and rubber "fiend" has commenced his work. Several students have reported the loss of umbrellas and rubbers, and as in most cases the name of the owner has been either carved or written in plain sight on the object stolen, it is certain the articles were not taken by mistake. If the thief is apprehended he will be roughly dealt with. Something should be done to stop this malicious practice.

It is a new departure among K. S. U. women's fraternities to have patronesses, and the Pi Beta Phis led off last week by asking Mrs. Peter Emery, Mrs. Professor Green, Mrs. A.D.

Dr. R. S. Drake, who was connected with the State Board of Pharmacy, died Monday noon, and was buried Wednesday from his home ou Ohio Street.

His death is a source of great sorrow to all who knew him, and his presence and advice will be missed by a large number.
On Friday night the home of Miss Emma White, on Mount Oread, was the scene of a brilliant Pi Phi initiation, which was followed by a "cookie-shine."

Professor Miller took the astronomy class out "star gazing" a week ago last Tuesday night. They ascended Mount Oread and from there studied the different constellations which were to be seen in the heavens. At one time Prof. Miller thought he had discovered a remarkably brilliant new planet. Looking off to the northeast, he saw low down near the horizen a star he had never seen before. Becoming very excited he called the attention of the class to it. Just then it began to move, and much to the professor's chagrin and disappointment, it proved, not be a new, undiscovered planet which might make him world renowned, but the headlight of a Union Pacific engine.
The Kansas City branch of the association of Collegiate Alumni, which was organized last spring will hold its first meeting in the parlors of the Coates House next Saturday, October 14th, at half past 2 p. m. Several K. U. graduates of Lawrence who are members of the association will go down to this meeting. The members of the association are women who have received a degree in arts, philosophy, science, or literature from any of the sixteen colleges constituting the association. Only colleges of recognized standing are admitted, and the alumnae of K. U. feel very much honored that their alma mater is a member. Two fellowships—one an American and the other a European—are awarded each year, and are given strictly upon individual merits. This year Miss Nannie Pugh, of the class of '91, received the European Fellowship.

New Book Store.
Mr. Tracy Learnard, an old K. U. boy, has just opened up one of the prettiest and neatest book stores in Lawrence. The fixtures are all new from top to bottom and the shelves are not loaded old shelf worn editions of text books. Mr. Learnard is ably assisted by Miss Lillian Popenoe, who is well known to University book buyers.

Kappa Alpha Theta.
Last Saturday evening two bus loads of merry girls left town for the home of Mrs. D. C. Haskell to initiate into the mysteries of Kappa Alpha Theta the following nine girls: Maude Smelser, Madge Schaum, May Riggs, Lottie Robinson, Jeanette Wheeler, Grace Colwell, Emma Barber, Grace Poff and Edith Davis, the largest number ever initiated at one time by any fraternity in the University.
After the iniation, which was voted by all present to be the most successful ever held, Mrs. Haskell served elegant refreshments. The pleasure of the evening was greatly enhanced by a delightful serenade from one of the gentlemen's fraternities. The presence of several Thetas from out of town, among whom was Mrs. Scott Hopkins, one of the charter members of Kappa chapter, also added to the enjoyment.

LITERARY.
Some True Incidents.
Many strange and interesting things happened at the time that the Oklahoma Country opened for settlement, on April 22, 1889; and there would be no lack of material for a good novel, if anyone was to search for it. We can appreciate this all the more, when we think that there was all kinds of people from all parts of the United States, and even from all parts of the world, waiting for the promised paradise to open, and longing to secure a home, all their own, in this land of milk and honey.
One of the many romantic incidents of this period was the way in which Miss Klein secured a home and a husband. Miss Klein had been a school teacher in Kansas, but had resolved to leave her school work and take up a quarter in Oklahoma.
A few minutes before twelve o'clock on the eventful day, Miss Klein was in the very front line of anxiously waiting people, mounted on a strong, fiery horse, who seemed to know that he was about to test his powers in a race for a home for his mistress.
The plucky young lady had her claim already selected. She had been told about the country by the cow-boys and Indians, who knew every foot of the new lands, had made her choice, and was determined to reach it ahead of everybody else.
When the signal for the start was given, there was one great yell from the multitude, and the whole line broke out into a wild race for the new country. Such a sight had never been seen before in the history of this country. There were thousands of people in all sorts of conveyances, thousands of people mounted on all sorts of steeds, from the little burro of Mexico and the wiry Texas pony, to the powerful thoroughbred of Kentucky.
It was only a short time until the crowd became separated, the slow heavy wagons lagging in the rear and the swift racers far to the front; while one of the first among the eager strivers was Miss Klein, quietly urging her horse to
greater speed. She slowly forged ahead of the others and at last turned off in the direction of her future home. As she was riding at her mad pace over the fresh green grass of the prairie, she turned and saw not far behind, and riding in the same direction, a tall, fine looking young man, riding a long Texas horse. The very thought that he might be aiming for her claim, made her redouble her efforts to increase her speed; but it was of no use, the rider behind her slowly drew nearer, and at last the brave young woman could hear the rapid breathing of his horse, as he ran scarcely a horse's length behind.
These two riders had left all the others far behind, and still they kept riding on.
Finally they came to a small creek, and Miss Klein urged her horse into the water with her rival just behind her. As she rode out into the stream, her horse stumbled, and, becoming frightened, turned down the current. For the first time since the start, Miss Klein became really frightened, for the water grew deeper, and it was only a moment until her horse was out of his depth. The current was strong, and she felt herself being rapidly carried down, when a strong hand clasped her, and she was lifted from her saddle to the pommel of the strangers; and in a moment they were both safe on the other bank of the creek.
The young man did not stop, but asked as they continued their course:
"Where shall I take you Miss?"
"I don't care, if I only get to some town or something."
"Well then, get on behind me, and we'll go on."
She was transferred to the crupper, and they did go on. Although the little horse was sweating excessively, his pace never slackened.
At last they came within sight of the quarter that she had selected. She knew it by the big dead sycamore that leaned out over the edge of a "run," and as she clung to the saddle of her rescuer, the poor girl could not keep from crying to think that her home was gone, and more, that her faithful horse, all that she possessed in the world, was lost.
92
The University Courier.
Finally they came to the claim, and the stranger, pulling up his trembling horse, jumped off and fixed his flag in land that had never before been touched by the white man. He turned to his companion, who had dismounted also, and saw big tears standing in the clear blue eyes. Then he realized that he had taken her home, that the mere turn of fortune had given him an undue advantage over the helpless woman. He stood as if perplexed, for a moment, and turning to her said in a frank open way:
"Miss, I don't know what your name is, but mine is Brown; and I don't know just which of us reached this claim first, seeing as we came on the same horse, so the only way that I can see of getting out of a bad fix is to divide interests and go in together. What do you say?"
A couple of hours afterwards Brown had left the young lady to hold down the ranch, and had started to the nearest settlement for "a friend," as he laughingly told her, and in a short time he brought his "friend" back with him. The friend was a preacher, and before the sun went down on that eventful day, Mr. and Mrs. Brown had put their few things into a tent, and started up housekeeping in the same primitive manner as many more did in those times of stern necessity.
Another rather odd and interesting thing occurred on the same day in one of the towns of the territory. A Miss Harrell had staked out a town lot, but had scarcely gotten her stake driven, before a strange young man had taken possession of the other end of the lot, and had started to driving his stakes. The young lady quietly drew a pistol and walking up to the young fellow, told him in the plainest kind of terms to "get out of here." The stranger regarded her quietly, shook his head and said in a very deliberate manner:
"No, I guess not. Good lots don't grow on every tree, and as much as I admire your nerve, I reckon I'll stay here, being as I got here about the same time as you did."
The young lady retired rather put out, but staid on the lot. The rival claimants kept aloof for some time, until at last the young man approached and asked to speak for a moment with the girl. He said that his name was Harry Evarts, told her a little of his history,and concluded by saying:
"Now Miss, I see that you are going to stay with this lot, and as I intend to myself, wouldn't it be a little handier all around for me to get a preacher, and for us to go into partnership on this little deal? It will cost us both a lot of money, if we fight it out in the courts, no matter which one of us gets it at last."
The young lady asked for a little while to consider it, and at last came to the same conclusion as Mr. Evarts.
These are but samples of the many amusing incidents that happened during the great rush for homes and wealth.
Amusements.
Mr. B. S. Spooner and Mollie G. Spooner, whose joint efforts, aided by the talents of their wonderfully clever daughters, Edna May and Cecil, have in a few years succeeded in the face as hard times and harder competition, in making the Spooner Comedy Company a representative repertoire attraction, and one that the very best houses and shrewdest managers recognize as a money winner. Mr. Spooner, with a strong desire to always be in the lead with the best, has been spending money with a free hand in the purchase of new plays, new scenery, calcium effect and the engagement of a strong and efficient company. The repertory consists of ten of their own copyrighted plays: "A Fight for a Mill,""Esther's Guardeen," "Inez," "Little Miss Mab," "The Judge's Wife," "Wanda," "His Little Sister," "The Dean," "468," "Eccles' Girl" and a few other popular dramas. Miss Cecil Spooner is the coming soubrette and premier danseuse of America. Her pirouetting in the serpentine dance is a dream of fairy land. Edna May Spooner is a true daughter of Thespis. The other members of the company are well known and powerful actors.-Chicago Dramatic Journal.

ATHLETICS.
Harvey is wearing shin guards.
Evening practice at North College has begun.
William Jewell will put no team on the field this fall.
A foot ball team has been organized at Wellington, Kas.
Illinois State University defeated De Pauw 14-4 last Saturday.
In Davis at center and Heath and Wolferman as guards, the Y. M. C. A. will have a heavy trio.
Walter Cash, the strongest tackle ever at Princeton, so says Casper Whitney, is coaching D. A. C.
J. Bohn, half back of the D. A. C., played the same position on the School of Mines eleven at Golden, last year.
A new venture, but nevertheless a good one, Commander-in-chief Frank McKinnon, with Thomas Franklin as aide and assistant, will form and equip the McCook field police squad.

All right, wait until the 21st.
Baker boys are said to be anxious to postpone the foot ball game with K. S. U. Lawrence Journal.
Will we have a magnificent second eleven this year?
Forecasts at the Missouri State University are very flattering for this year's 'Varsity. Of the old men, Young, Thompson, Anderson, Patiman and Hill have returned. Harrison and Hill, of Marmaduke, have entered college The former is sure of a position at half.
Denver's eastern trip resulted somewhat disastrously to her record for the coming season, C. A. C. defeating her at Chicago 6-o, and Northwestern University 8-o. In both games the team work of the D.A.C. was very strong, but they were unable to stand the heavy rushing of the opposing teams.
Barbour, Yale '91, and Donnelly, Princeton '90, are laboring hard with U. of M.'s 'Varsity. Quarter, guard, center and one tackle are the places to be filled. Their weakest point at present lies in their half backs.
Baker's prospects this year are fair. Haskin, Rice, Young and Crawford are not back; so she opens up the season with Pendleton, Toomey, Atherton, Farrar; Games, Potter and Taylor (captain), at their old places, thus leaving five places to be filled from fourteen or sixteen candidates. She meets Missouri at Kansas City on the 14th.
At the last meeting of the Athletic board R. K. Moody was reelected business manager of the foot ball teams. Williamson, '94; Matteson, '96, and Prof. Newson were appointed on the finance committee. It also was decided to elect a captain of track athletics, the intention of the board being to advance this branch of athletics as much as possible.
If possible a game with Marmaduke or the Y. M.C.A., of Kansas City, will be secured for the second eleven next Saturday. If neither of these games can be arranged they will meet with the High school eleven. They will line up about as follows: L.E., Kutz; L.T., Paul; L.G., Cowman; C., Simpson. R. G. Orr, or Prentice; R.T., Moody; R.E., Smith or Higgins; quarter, Laughlin; halfs, Wilson, Shaefer or Johnson; full back, Means or Higgins; substitute, Maxwell,
The Kansas City Sunday Times devotes two columns to the daily life of the foot ball player at K. U. The criticisms on tackling are, unfortunately true, but those on the play of the half backs are not very consistent. For, had Mr. McDonald visited us the day before, he would have seen center plays to his heart's content. However, end playing is almost as beneficial to team work as bucking the line, and in aiding interference and tackling is far superior. One fair end run is equivalent to four bucks.
Foot ball, as it is defined in the rules of the American Association, outside of the larger universities and colleges is a rara avis in the West. But realizing that the great superiority
94
The University Courier.
of Eastern colleges is due more to the magnificent work of the preparatory schools than any other factor, our Western educators are fostering the love of athletics in our academies and high schools more than ever before. May the time be not far distant when these "feeders" will bear the same relation in physical instruction to our universities that Rugby, Westminster and Eton bear to Oxford.
We present to our readers this week an individual criticism of the men who will compose the 'Varsity eleven and substitutes. As will be seen, the make up is about the same as it has been for the last two weeks. Shepard, left end, is a sure tackler and excellent interferer; is always down on a kick and shows wonderful judgment in all his work. Matteson, left tackle, seldom fails to gain ground when the ball is given to him. His tackling is very good. Hamill, left guard, is slow and plays rather high. His size is largely responsible for this. He makes holes in the line well and is improving at interference. Harvey, center, is light but very active. He is very good in breaking through the line. Griffiths, right guard, is young and inexperienced. He tackles well and plays an excellent offensive game. Coleman, right tackle, plays too high in the line. He is somewhat unsteady, at times breaking through well, and again allowing his opponent to handle him with ease. Steinberger, right end, keeps his eye well on the ball and works hard. His judgment on an opponent's end play is not very good. Williamson, quarter back, passes well and is an excellent tackler. Champlin, half back, gains ground well either through the center or around the ends, and seldom misses on catches or punts. Shellenbarger, half back, is quick and speedy. He takes advantage of interference well and is a fair kicker. He gains ground well on end plays. Piatt, full back, though handicapped by a sprained ankle, is a fair tackler and runner. He is developing into a good kicker and catches and punts fairly well. Jansen and Prentice are rather stiff and slow. They are new at the game and do not know how to use their strength. Rothrock and Johnson are good runners and tacklers but
punt poorly. McMurray, at end, is speedy. He is frequently off side and pays too much attention to his man. Armor, at half, lacks experience but works hard and willingly. The team has been trained hard and is being well coached. The game with Minnesota next Saturday will afford a good chance for comparison with Ann Arbor, who was defeated by them easily last year. As far as we can learn M. S. U. plays a strong bucking game and has very heavy halfs. But none of our new men show signs of over training and there is no reason why M. S. U. should have any more wind than K. U., for a bucking game is almost as hard on the buckers as upon the opposing team. And as to weight we have a fairly average team, averaging 165 lbs, about the same as Princeton's '91.
The Baker Beacon exhibits something besides that quality of christian spirit that might reasnably be expected from a publication that emulates from such an institution, when it roasts the State University foot ball team. Kansas City Journal.
Now this is a mistake. The Beacon is hardly capable of "roasting" a team which can hardly be mentioned in the same breath with the Baker team. The only thing the Beacon contains, in its present issues, is the word "Substitute teams" and substitute players, as though K. U. men did not know what the word meant. But this, too, is a mistake, and with this issue we dismiss the subject and with it disdain to answer any of the invectives so harmlessly launched against the supporters of the crimson. But on the 21st of October we play Baker on the "Varsity" grid iron and incidentally with that same "substitute" team, and suppose we whisper it quietly to you Journal people, that upon the night following the game Baldwin City will be as quiet as the tomb.

Prof. P. K. Dillenbeck has been for four sessions instructor in the science and art of Elocution and Oratory in Kentucky University. He has proved himself a master in his office. The students have made admirable progress under his instruction and drill. Prof. Dillenbeck thoroughly understands his task. He is remarkable for the aptness of his teaching, his skill in training students, in the success which attends his work and in the general industry and diligence he shows as a teacher. We regret very much that we cannot keep him here.

From Mrs. Mary Cecil Cantrell, Kentucky, Executive Committee and at large of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition:
"It becomes an unqualified pleasure for me to commend to any people or audience Prof. Preston K Dillenbeck, both as a gentleman and a thorough master of the twin arts of interpretation and expression. His method in both teaching and delivering conforms so faithfully to nature that it scarcely seems art at all. All the delicate shadings of thought and sentiment are so deftly rendered that to attuned ears all criticism becomes only a synonym for praise."

ONE HOUR's good hard work is worth two hours spent in making good resolutions.
EVERYONE HAS his own ideal; but we generally think it is some weakness in our neighbor that makes him choose one that differs from ours. If we cultivate tolerance we wont meet near so many fools on the hill, and there will be at least one less.
Public opinion is not the best guide in the world; yet it absolutely controls the actions of the major part of the people. The person who has individuality enough to do as his judgment dictates is very generally admired; but few have the courage to follow his example.
EVERY STUDENT who has any patriotism at all will come out to see the foot ball game next Saturday. Headaches, lessons, themes, and "lack of time" are no excuse. If your check hasn't come borrow fifty cents from your more lucky neighbor, and bring your colors and your voice to the McCook field. The team cannot be expected to play good foot ball if it is not properly encouraged.
HAVE MORE than one object in view. It is true that it is the man with one idea who succeeds in this world, but it is not always he that makes the best of life. If you intend to follow some profession bend your energies toward the best that is in it, but do not dwarf your mind by neglecting all else. Some other work will be recreation to you, and will in turn help you in your principal work.
WILL THE State Board of Public works be so kind as to inform the students of the University of Kansas and the citizens of Lawrence why the Electrical Engineering and Physics building is not being erected? If there be sufficient reason we would like to know what it is. The money has been appropriated; the site selected and surveyed; and the building is needed. Besides, the people of the state should know why the money has not been spent as the late legislature provided. At least that much is their due.
So FAR arrangements have been made for but two foot ball games on the McCook field, and it is not probable that more than that will be played here. Hence it seems only reasonable to expect that the lovers of foot ball will
106
The University Courier.
be willing to pay the ordinary price at all eastern games, fifty cents, to witness the game. The entertainment is worth that sum if it be worth anything; besides, the Athletic Association needs money, and needs it badly too; and whoever has not sufficient interest in the University to help it that much, while helping himself, should not have the privilege of seeing a game at all. Next Saturday, Baker will test K. U's. strength; and all of the students and a large number of town people will go to see the contest. Why will not the management charge the amount that should be charged for such entertainment? The public will make no serious objection and the treasury of the Athletic Association will contain more than twice the amount that it would if the tickets had been sold at half price as usual.
IN MANY respects K. U. students are very much behind the times; but they rest upon athletic laurels and seem to think that there are few other ways in which to distinguish themselves than in the athletic field. Almost no effort is spent upon literature, oratory, or the drama that is not required. There are many students who are much interested in the drama, and many more who should be; but who have not time to spend a term in the stndy of it, yet would be willing to devote considereable time and effort to it if some work could be done systematically. A dramatic club, for the purpose of studying the drama, could readily be organized. All that is needed is for some one or two persons who are in earnest to go to work upon a plan of organization. If thought advisable the club could give some of the many talented actors in embryo a chance to make themselves famous. Why cannot the students shake off their apathetic satisfaction in the existing order of things, and do something worthy of a name? There is no doubt that such a club would be offered every encouragement and assistance by the faculty. Some one lead the way.

In addition, a digest of the current electrical news will be presented by Mr. Topping from the following weeklies: Electrical Engineer, Electric World, Scientific American, Electrical Review, and Scientific American Supplement.
The following verse, written by some poetically inclined youth, appeared on the bulletin board Tuesday:
After the game is over,
After the goal has been kicked;
After we've won from Baker,
After they feel awful sick;
After we beat them badly,
After they fail to score;
Tell me, will poor old Baker
Play foot-ball any more?
The line party at the Opera house and dance afterwards in the Merchants National Bank Hall, given Friday evening by the Sigma Chis, was one of the swellest events of the season. The twenty-five couple present, occupying two rows of seats in the Opera house, listened to the splendid comedy "Eccles Girl" by the Spooner Opera Company, after which they repaired to the Merchants National Bank Hall, where they merrily "tripped" the hours away to the music of the Mexican Orchestra, consisting of a harp and two mandolins, of the Spooner Opera Company. During the evening light refreshments were served, and at a very late hour the merry crowd departed for their homes all declaring the Sigma Chis royal entertainers.
At a meeting of the Athletic Association Tuesday at one p. m., a committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws for the Association, and then apply to the Secretary of State for a charter. As the Association now stands, it is not able to make a binding contract, is not able to hold the other contracting party to any contract made, and cannot sue to recover damages from any one who might break a contract, all on account of not being chartered. It was also decided to change the admission fee to all foot-ball games played here in Lawrence from twenty-five cents to fifty cents.
The Historical Seminary at 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon was largely attended. Professor E. D. Adams spoke before the Seminary, and took as his subject "The Division of a Continent." In an exceedingly interesting lecture he showed how the nations of Europe had claimed different portions of Africa, and how these claims have been the cause of much contention and diplomatic art. With the beginning of the colonization of Africa, Germany, who has always been backward in the art of colonization, under the direction of Bismarck, awakened to the importance of such a move, and the struggles between Germany and England for the retention of their different possessions forms the most interesting part of the story of Africa's colonization. The great possibilities for the founding of a great state either of whites or negroes in Africa, and the richness of the country in gold, silver, and precious stones are the main causes of the intense desire of the foreign nations to found colonies there. The lecture, which took up the entire hour, held the interest and attention of the audience from beginning to end.
Alvin Joslin.
180 laughs in 180 minutes is the enticing and tempting announcement made for Saturday night at the opera house. Of course every one familiar with theatrical head lines knows this means that Charles L. Davis is to appear in his always popular creation, "Alvin Joslin," and the fact that he will personally interpret
110
The University Courier.
the role of "Old Uncle Joslin" is sufficient to pack the house. Everybody knows the play and its author and Interpreter Charles L. Davis. It has been a marvelous success, and made a vast fortune for him. This is owing not only to the great executive ability displayed in its management, but to the fact that the simple story, laughable incidents and sensational and pathetic features appeal directly to the masses.
Mr. Davis, as Uncle Alvin Joslin, the quaint old Yankee farmer, is a characterization of the typical down east hayseed, which, as a piece of character acting, is a revelation. 'To speak of Mr. Davis' effective impersonation of Joslin would be but to cover old ground, for his acting has been enjoyed in this city on numerous occasions. Seats are now on sale.

How Dick Paid His Debt.
Everybody knew Dick, at least everybody who ever frequented the wharf. Every day, rain or shine, Dick was at the wharf for every boat, waiting to carry luggage, run errands, or do anything by which he could make a little money. His "carry your grip, Mister?" was familiar to everybody, and he earned many a dime from those who always carried their own luggage at other times.
Dick was a typical street gamin, who lived alone with his mother way up on the last floor of a crowded tenement house.
His mother was a cripple, and was able to do scarcely anything to help Dick keep up the household, except a little sewing now and then.
Cares and responsibilities had given to the boy's face a look of earnestness that a man gets when he lingers in the graver affairs of later life. His big brown eyes were sharp and piercing, and his actions were reserved and quiet, except when the boys all went in swimming when they were waiting for the boats to come in. Then all the quietness left him, and he became as free and full of fun as any of them. He used to tell the men that he had "rather swim 'an eat."
One day Dick was not at his post for the first boat, and the others remarked that something must be the matter, for he had never missed a boat before. When the time for the second boat arrived, Dick came slowly down the pier, with an earnest expression in his face. He said very little in answer to the questions asked him, except that "the old woman was sick."
As the crowd of passengers came onto the landing, Dick took the grip of an elderly man, who soon noticed his serious expression and asked :
"Why what's the matter Dick? Something gone wrong?"
Dick looked up into the kind face, and seemed as if struck by a new thought. He drew the gentleman aside from the crowd, and said:
"Doctor, I want to talk to you a minute.

"Yes" said Dick, "you can; but I hate to ask you. It's this. The old woman is sick. She has been ailing for a good while, and when I went home last night, she was down in bed and couldn't get up. She hardly knew me, when I came in. I don't know what I'm going to do, if she don't get better, for I am afraid that she is going to die. Now Doctor, what I want is this. Iaint got no money; but I want you to come around, and see if you can't fix her up. Then I'll work as hard as I know how, and as soon as I get the money, I'll pay you anything you ask, for I wouldn't lose mother for anything. She's all the friend I've got in the world."
The doctor listened quietly, and when the boy was through, he put his big hand on the curly head, and told him that of course he would go and see his mother; but that he wouldn't ask anything for it.
Dick stepped back and said proudly that he wasn't going to beg of anybody, and that the doctor needn't come at all, if he wouldn't take anything for his services;—that he and his mother didn't have to go to the poor-house yet, by a long ways.
The big man laughed, and said that it could be fixed up afterwards all right, and that they had better go and see his new patient, as she might need something immediately.
For days and days the doctor visited his patient constantly, and for days and days she hung between life and death. During this time, Dick was very rarely seen at the pier, only running down now and then to make a dime or so, and then going back home.
At last his mother got better, and one day when he came home, she was sitting up in bed. From that time Dick came to the boats with a happy look in his face, and would tell everyone that "the old woman's getting all O. K. again." He worked harder than he ever did before, and when one of the men of the wharf asked him why he never went in swimming with the other boys any more, he said that he was saving up
to pay the doctor the ten dollars, which he owed him for attending his mother,and didn't have time to do any swimming.
One day late in the Fall, when there was a big crowd at the pier, waiting for the incoming boat, the doctor came down with his little daughter of four years. Dick was at his regular station, and when he saw the doctor, his eye lighted up, and he exchanged a nod with his benefactor.
The boat was steaming slowly up to the pier, and was only a short distance away. All at once a great cry went up from the crowd, and Dick turned just in time to see the doctor's little girl fall off the pier into the deep blue water under them. The crowd surged back and forth and was wild with excitement. The boat was drawing nearer. Dick pushed through the throng, and shot head first down into the water. A deep hush fell over the people, and they watched for the reappearance of the boy with breathless interest. The seconds seemed minutes. The big boat swung slowly up into place, almost directly over the place where the boy had disappeared. The big wheel of the steamer was stopping slowly, and as it came to a halt, the yellow hair of the girl came out of the water, followed by the brown hand of the street gamin. As he came up out of the water, the people saw a deep gash on the side of his head, from which the blood was slowly running, staining the water a dark crimson. He swam with difficulty, and was about to sink again, when willing hands reached him, and he was lifted out of the water, with his burden in his arms, onto the steamer's deck. When they laid him down, he had fainted dead away, and it was then that the awful blow of the steamer's wheel was clearly seen.
The little girl was lifted from his arms, and borne away to her father. As he took her in his arms, she opened her eyes, and looked around wonderingly.
A physician was by Dick's side, bathing his awful cut. He came to himself slowly, after a short time, and looked wildly around him. The he seemed to comprehend what had happened. One of his boy comrades was by his

side. Dick turned to him, and said in a low whisper:
"Is Doc here?"
"Over there," said the boy pointing to the pier.
"Tell him" said Dick slowly and with great difficulty, "that I wont be able—to pay him all—of—them ten—dollars;but there's—a bag home—with eight—of them in it. Tell him as how-I'm-awful sorry;but he can take—the eight—and then-maybe he'll—let the other two go,—seein'—as I—got—his—girl out of—the water."
And the brown eyes grew dim, and slowly Dick's life ebbed away, like the last waves of the retreating tide.

ATHLETIGS.
Minnesota Game.
The first contest of the foot ball season has come and gone, and K. U. stands defeated. But the Courier wishes to extend its congratulations to the team.
For although the team added a defeat to her record; when all things are taken into consideration, no small credit is reflected on the team. The game after the first twenty minutes was a splendid exhibition, and the uphill fight of the K. U. players was a plucky one. The team played against no small odds, firstly, on the grounds of the home team; secondly, having no supporters to encourage there efforts; thirdly, the long and tiresome ride; and most important of all, meeting the strongest team of the northwest. But for one unfortunate tackle the score would have stood 6-6: in the first half Harding was given the ball, and broke through between Coleman and Griffiths—Piatt failed to bring him down, thus affording him a clear field to goal.
Again luck was against us; the ball was at Minnesota's ten yard line, an-off side play by Madigan, unnoticed by the referee, lost us two yards and a down; the next down failed to advance the necessary five, and the ball was lost. Toward the end of the game Coleman retired, owing to an injured hip; Armor taking his place and putting up a fine game. The work of the new men deserve especial mention, their tackling was clean, and interference fair.
With the exception of Harding's run, the longest gain on end plays was made by Shellenbarker for about six yards.
Both teams sent men around the ends time after time, but in vain. In fact the whole game was but a grand exhibition of center plays. As Ann Arbor plays Minnesota October 28, our chances for November 25, can be calculated very closely.

Second Eleven, 28; L H. S., 4.
The second eleven had very little trouble in defeating the High School team, on account of their superior weight and powers of endurance.
Foul tackles and off sides were too numerous to mention. Good gaines were made by Kutz, Shaefor, Wilson, and Higgins, for K. U. High School's touch-down was made from the 25 yard line by B. Kennedy.
This was the star play of the dav.
Coxman, Warfield, Howe, and Hulse, made good runs for L. H. L. Shaefor kicked two goals. The score was 28-4.

Umpire, Mitchell. Referee, Buchan.
Denver, 58; Iowa, O.
The D. A. C. defeated Iowa in a one sided game last Saturday. I. S. U. played a strong offensive game, but were deplorably weak in interfering, and on defensive plays. Fouts, half back of D. A. C. scored every touch-down but one.
Iowa has a very heavy team,but uses little science.
From the scores in last Saturday's games, our championship game with Iowa should cause very little trepidation, for Ben Donnelly will have to do some very fast work in reorganization, to perfect a winning eleven by November 6. But with Columbia it is entirely different, even though she was everwhelmingly defeated by Baker. November 30, is a long way off and wonders can be worked with her inexperienced team by that time. Nevertheless the championship of the quadrangular league appears at present to lie between N. S. U. and U. of K.
Baker, 28; Missouri, O.
Much talk has been indulged in as to the strength of the Columbia eleven; and its friends fondly believed that it could cope with all comers. But its work last Saturday was weak in every particular. In fact the game was characterized by the slow and ineffective work, the weak tackling and interference of M. S. U.
While on the other hand, with few exceptions,
114
The University Courier.
Baker gave a magnificent exhibition of foot ball. Only once did Columbia come near scoring; after a splendid run of 25 yards by Anderson, and two center plays; M. S. U. was within one yard of goal, but failing to make the requisite gain on the last down, the ball went to Baker, and the hope of a touch-down was gone.
Taylor, Motter, and Heller, played the game for Baker. Heller scoring four touch-downs, Taylor, two, and Motter. one. Latimer, Anderson, and A. Hill, distinguished themselves for Missouri.
The teams played in the following order:
BAKER. POSITION. COLUMBIA.
Potter .left end, right.Gaines
Cooper.left tackle,right.Latimer
Atherton.left guard,right.Pauley
Pendleton center.Young
Fogle.right guard, left.W. Thompson

Referee, Robinson.Umpire, Toomey,Baker.
Baker next!
Next Saturday we will meet Baker in perhaps the closest, and certainly the most exciting game of the season. With the exception of Armor at right tackle, the team will probably line up the same as with M.S.U.
For Baker, Toomey will play full back, Heller, and Taylor, half backs, and Motter will go to the line.

He swayed the audience at will, even moving them to tears by his action and pathos.—K. C. Journal PERSONAL LETTERS AND TESTIMONIALS.
Prof. P. K. Dillenbeck has been for four sessions instructor in the science and art of Elocution and Oratory in Kentucky University. He has proved himself a master in his office. The students have made admirable progress under his instruction and drill. Prof. Dillenbeck thoroughly understands his task. He is remarkable for the aptness of his teaching, his skill in training students, in the success which attends his work and in the general industry and diligence he shows as a teacher. We regret very much that we cannot keep him here.
CHAS. LOUIS Loos, President Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky.
From Mrs. Mary Cecil Cantrell, Kentucky, Executive Committee and at large of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition:
"It becomes an unqualified pleasure for me to commend to any people or audience Prof. Preston K Dillenbeck, both as a gentleman and a thorough master of the twin arts of interpretation and expression. His method in both teaching and delivering conforms so faithfully to nature that it scarcely seems art at all. All the delicate shadings of thought and sentiment are so deftly rendered that to attuned ears all criticism becomes only a synonym for praise."

DON'T GET so great an opinion of yourself because you have received some unusual attention. You are not so vastly different from other people as you think.
DON'T IMAGINE you are so much better than your neighbor just because you enjoy superior advantages of some kind. The world will care little how popular you were while in the University; only one very weighty and pointed question will be asked you; What can you do? The obstacles you overcome here are very small indeed as compared with those you will meet when you do battle with the cold, cold world. You wont have your own favorite "set" to praise and admire you then. You must stand or fall on your merits. It is true the degree of success you meet here is an indication, but it is not an infallible sign of what awaits you in the greater struggle.
IT SEEMS that the last remnant of class spirit died last year. Either the students are so intent upon their studies that they haven't time, or they are too indolent to distinguish themselves and their classes by doing something worthy of note. Even a cane rush would relieve the monotony.
DON'T BE either too much occupied with your work, or too selfish, to take some interest in those about you. Your principal study should be humanity—that which influences your life more than all else. You cannot live in yourself, or in your small circle of intimate friends. You influence and are influenced by every person you meet.
ALTHOUGH WE have reason to be proud of our School of Engineering, we cannot be oblivious to its lack of facilities for graduating well-prepared engineers. We have no opportunity to visit any engineering work, either completed or in course of construction, as is commonly done in other engineering schools, except as the student may do so during his summer vacation. Only the principles of engineering are taught here; their application must be made after graduation. To a considerable extent this condition is necessary; but some provision should be made for the student to make some application of the principles during his course. At present if he can remember the principles till the end of his course, he is prepared to go to work; but if not, as is usually the case, he must spend much time and work in the field doing the work that should have been done here. The cause of the defect is principally the lack of money to carry on field work.

GET THE most you can out of your college life. If you live in the highest sense here you will continue to do so all your life; for the habits formed here will continue to control you. A life spent in hard work alone is not the life we were intended to live; neither is one spent in a continual search for amusement: we are endowed with the ability to enjoy both work and recreation, and we should make the best possible use of that ability. Work hard while you work, and throw off all thought of your work when you have time for amusement.
IN OTHER UNIVERSITIES, regular weekly lectures are given by the librarian on the needs and use of a library. Attendance upon the lectures is optional; but they are so popular that it is often necessary to repeat them for the benefit of those who are prevented by other duties from hearing them the first time they are delivered. They would be of the greatest help to the student, especially to the freshmen and sophmores, who have not access to the entire library; but even the mighty senior would find them of great use to him. The value of rightly directed study is far greater than that in which there is no object in view; and the students library work is, or should be, a large portion of his work, and needs direction as much as any other part of his work.
Do not confine your reading to the subjects you are studying in class. If your work is in the languages, you need to read the current scientific literature, at least; while if your work is in the sciences, your highest development cannot be reached unless you do much reading in pure literature. Whoever has not a good knowledge of both science and literature is not well educated. There is a strong tendency among students to develop along only two or three lines at a time, to read only about the studies carried; but it is just as easy and much more profitable to do a little work systematically upon a large number of subjects. The uneven places in the average student's education would, to a large extent, be smoothed over if some place such as the literary and debating society were provided, in which all subjects might be freely discussed.

The foot ball game last Saturday cleared for the Athletic Association $557,80, which is over three times more than has ever been cleared before at any athletic contest here in Lawrence. This fact alone proves the wisdom of charging fifty cents to all our 'Varsity foot ball games. If the few people, who are grumbling over this raise in the price of admission, will remember that while it may mean twenty-five cents more out of their pocket to attend one of these games, it means two or three hnndred dollars in the pocket of the Athletic Associatian, and the Athletic Association needs money for a gymnasium, improvements on McCook field, the hiring of a coach, etc.
The Kansas Academy of Science, which meets in Emporia today for its twenty-sixth annual session, numbers among its members all the leading scientists in the State, and the meeting promises to be one of rare interest.

The Kansas University Quarterly.
The first number of this issue of the"Quarterly" was handed to a staff member of the COURIER. The issue is one worthy the efforts of the scientists of the University, among whom are some of the best known scientists in the State of Kansas, or in fact the West. The subjects discussed are not time-worn but subjects of interest, and worthy the consideration of the student body as well as men and women who specialize is these departments.
V. L. Kellogg discourses on "The Sclerites of the head of Danais Archippus Fab." Dr. S.W. Williston presents three well-written articles on "New or Little-known Diptera," "Kansas Pterodactyls, II," and "Kansas Mosasaurs." Mr. H. B. Newson, one of the leading mathematicians of the West, writes on the "Linear Geometry of the Cubic and Quartic, I," an article which must prove of immense interest to advanced mathematicians. The number is completed by an interesting article "On the delicacy of the sense of taste among Indians." All articles are based upon original research and the results first published through the medium of the "Quarterly."

LITERARY.
They Prevent a Run.
The late financial panic called into play the ingenuity of every man, and some of the schemes that were divided to divert disastrous results are strictly original.
This last summer I was traveling through the southern part of Texas, and had stopped off in a small town whose people were mostly cattle dealers. There was one bank in the place. It had been organized entirely by stockmen who had the necessary capital and who believed that it did not pay to send their money out of the country. They had employed a young man, who was a friend of mine, as cashier and general manager, and placed implicit confidence in him.
I came into town in the evening, and immediately went to look for my young banker friend. I found him in his room with a very solemn face; and he scarcely smiled when I came in. In reply to my question as to what was the matter, Tom said that he was afraid there was going to be a heavy run on the bank in the morning, and that they had not nearly enough cash on hand to supply their depositors. He said that the president and directors were all out in the country, and that he could get no word to them, for he dare not trust any of the town people, because if they got an idea of the danger of the bank, they would make the run on it all the heavier. As it was he could not leave the town to go up the road to the next large town where he said he could get enough money to carry them through.
I offered to do anything I could for him, and he finally decided to have me ride out to the president's ranch and tell him what was the letter, and have him come in and stay in the k while he (Tom) could leave on the midt train and bring the required funds back him the next day.
He wrote a short note to the president, explaining the situation,and telling him to get one or two of the directors to come in and stay in the bank until he could get back with the
cash, which would be about ten o'clock the next day, and to keep the bank running in some way until that time.
I got a horse and rode for several hours, until I came at last to my destination. I waked the president, and gave him the cashier's note. He told me that he would come in as soon as he could get a couple of the directors; and I came back to town.
By the time I had gotten back my friend had gone, and I went to bed for the remainder of the night.
I slept rather late the next morning, and by the time I had eaten breakfast it was nearly time for the train to come in, and bring Tom with the money. I hurried down to the station, and waited until the train came in. Tom was on board, and together we carried the species to the bank. We expected to see the street crowded with eager depositors, but not a sign of anyone around the bank doors.
"It can't be that they have closed the bank, can it?" said Tom. But no, the doors were wide open.
We hurried in and went around the counter. There sat the president in an armed chair, reading a newspaper, with a Winchester leaning conveniently against the wall. One of the directors was half asleep on a lounge, with a big six-shooter in his hand, and a shot gun lying by his side, while the other director was carefully polishing the brown barrel of a long Sharp's rifle. None of them said a word as we came in, but the cashier did not keep silent long.
"Hasn't there been any run? Where is everybody? What's the matter?"
The president looked up slowly from his paper, and said slowly:
"There hain't been no run."
"What! Haven't Dains, nor Williamson, nor Wheeler, nor any of those people been around?" asked Tom.
"Well, come to think on it," said the president very deliberately, "those people you mentioned did come around; and seems to me they did say something about having a little money in here; but they said right away that they

didn't want to get it out—they didn't want to start no run on this bank. They went right away, and it warn't long until every body who had come down to the bank had gone too, and there hain't been no body troubling round here since No," said he after a short pause, "there hain't going to be no run on this bank."
As we went into the vault to put the money in the safe, Tom said to me:
"I thought that I knew how to run a bank; but those old fellows know how to manage a Texas crowd."

ATHLETIGS.
Baker, 14; K. S. U. 12.
The Yellow waves triumphant over the first of the two scheduled games.
The day was almost perfect for the game, perhaps a little too warm. The strong wind that threatened to make punting very uncertain, suddenly veered around to the south, and that danger was past. The game was one of absorbing interest from beginning to end, Baker winning by means of the superior team work. K. U. seemed to be unable to brace; on good gains by Baker, the team would go almost to pieces; on the other hand, a reverse of fortune would cause them to work like friends. Twice Baker was held at our five yard line for two downs, but the third down found the ball safely over the line.
Our interference was good at the start, but the men did not stay together. The interferers should—always be in close touch of each other. Our ends instead of trying to break opposing interferences, would run around and tackle from behind. The weak spot in our line, caused by Griffith's inability to play from the first, was their special point of attack; Heller, and Taylor, being sent through right guard and tackle, time after time for five and ten yards. Again we were weakened by the indiscreteness of Steinberger and Piatt; although the best tribute that can be given to Johnson is that he out played himself, punting well and bucking the line very effectively. Taylor, when playing end, did a great amount of scrapping when there was no need for it; but it was most noticeable that the moment the ball was put in play, Shepard had him safely out of the way. Harvey, Matteson, and Shepard, did almost all the tackling on the rush line. Both Champlin, and Shellenbarker, made good gains, in fact—the interference and tackling of all the backs was very good. For Baker, Thomas, Pendleton, and Farrar, did the tackling on the line. Toomey's punts were fair, and relieved Baker several times, when K. U. seemed sure to score; but his attempts at goal were very weak. Taylor, Heller, and Toomey,

did some good tackling behind the lines. They were very successful in center plays.
THE GAME.一FIRST HALF.
K. S. U. has the west goal and Baker the ball. Potter makes twenty yards on the kick off. Taylor goes through the line for fifteen more. Slow gains are made, until the ball is finally carried over by Heller in just four minutes. Taylor kicked goal.
Score—Baker, 6; K. S. U., o.
K. U. starts the ball, and after good gains by Matteson, and Champlin, Shellenbarker buck's the end for touch-down. Matteson kicked goal.
Score—Baker, 6; K. S. U., 6.
Baker then takes the ball, and, after hard playing in which the ball changes hands several times, it is obtained by Potter, on a fumble, who carries it across the field for ninety-five yards, and a touch-down. Taylor missed—an easy goal.
Score—Baker, 10; K. S. U., 6.
K. U. takes the ball, and after repeated gains time is called with the ball on Baker's two yard line.
Score—Baker, 10; K. S. U., 6.
SECOND HALF.
K. U. gains seven yards on the flying wedge. Baker obtains the ball, and by terrific bucking scores another touch-down. Toomey missed goal.
Score—Baker 14, K. S. U., 6.
K. U. starts the ball at center with the flying wedge and gains twenty yards, but losses the ball. Baker, by continuous bucking, carries the ball to K. U's. five yard line, but Shepard gets it, and K. U. gains twenty-five yards on a touch-down. Champlin goes around the end for thirty-five yards, and with Shellenbarker behind, some very pretty interference carries the ball over the line. Matteson kicked goal.

The D. A. C. had very little trouble in defeating Missouri last Saturday. Columbia had strengthened her line, and improved considerably in tackling, but was unable to break the opposing interference. At the end of the first half the ball was on Denver's twenty yard line, the nearest M. S. U. approached her goal. The teams lined up as follows:
MISSOURI. POSITION. D. A. C.
Gibson .right end, left...Mills
Latimer .right tackle, left...Fillmore
Tefft .right guard, left...Trease

At the last meeting of the alumni of the Missouri State University, resolutions were adopted asking the management of the University to provide a suitable field for athletics, with uccessary equipments; and to consider some method of building and equiping a gymnasium.
THE DENVER GAME.
Today the foot ball team leaves for Denver to play, with the possible exception of Ann Arbor, the hardest and fiercest game of the season. Denver, smarting under the defeat of '92, and glorying in her enviable record for this year having scored 104 points, to her opponents 6; will do or die.

De Pauw wins the right to play Purdue, the champions of Indiana, by defeating Butler University, to the tune of 20-6.
Illinois lost to Northwestern University by the score of 12 to 10. Also Ann Arbor was defeated by University of Chicago 6 to 0.
Nebraska's first game is looked forward to with considerable interest; for she, alone of the four teams, has not yet appeared on the "gridiron."
According to the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the Chicago Athletic Club will play K. S. U. at Kansas City, November 11. This is a mistake, as the management has had no communications whatever with C.A.C.
If possible a game will be arranged for the second eleven, on McCook field next Saturday, with the Kansas City, Kansas, High School team. This team will be strengthened by the addition of several of the Y.M.C.A.eleven. An excellent game may be expected.
The game between the University of Minnesota and Grunnell college of Iowa, resulted in an easy victory for the former, 36 to 6. M. S. U. made four touch-downs in the first half. Madigan, Harding, Larson, and Bilden, did the work for Minnesota; Miller, King, and Darby for Iowa.
The last issue of the Hesperian contains a long article by Crawford, Ann Arbor '91, on Nebraska's prospects for the coming season. No better estimate of their present condition can be given, than the following extract from Mr.Crawford's article:
"I confess I was greatly disappointed at the material that presents itself. I had expected to find plenty of large, strong men, and on the other hand, I find the youngest and lightest crowd I ever saw on a foot ball field.
"Nearly every High School in the East has more strong and heavy men. In a very short time we shall have to face some strong teams, and I don't see how it will be possible for us to win without some heavier men for the center."
The way to knock the chinch bugs out Is just to grab one by the snout, Then bore a hole deep in his pate Sufficient to inoculate; Hold fast his legs, so he can,t squirm, Pour in a quart of cholera germ, Plug up the hole, leave him at ease Until he gets the dread disease; Then turn him loose among his mates Until disease exterminates.

To many who are of a nervous temperment, and otherwise, it is anything but pleasant to sit in a recitation room and listen to the rattle of the windows, especially when the student wishes to hear what is being said by the professor. This could easily be remedied by the University officials.
The natural history department of the University has just received as an addition to its museum, a magnificent collection of Central American insects, birds, mammals, plants, eggs, and shells.
This collection is the gift of George F. Gaumer, who has spent the last twelve years in Yucatan collecting for the British museum. Mr. Gaumer graduated from the University with the class of 1876. He was the first man to take the natural history course under Prof. Snow. While in attendance at the University, Mr. Gaumer was one of the most active members of the Natural History society, which then, took the place of the Science club. While collecting for other parties, he has always remembered his Alma Mater and now is able to present her with a complete collection of Central American birds and mammals. This collection is to be placed in Snow hall and known as the "Gaumer collection." It consists of 100 Yucatan insects, 5000 Yucatan eggs, 725 Yucatan birds, 108 New Mexican birds, 30 Yucatan mammals, 6 New Mexican mammals, 2 Kansas mammals, 351 sea shells, 706 land shells, and 1000 New Mexican plants.
Much complaint is made on account of the roughening effect of these first cold winds. It can't be prevented unless you have something like Raymond's "Cream of Roses" to apply after bathing.
