A Charity Circus.
While in Kansas City the editor was seen in regard to a charity circus by Lloyd Brown, a young man of no small ability as director and a large experience of stage manager.
A similar circus in Dayton, Ohio, for charity, is reported to have made $13,000 out of the venture. Of course this would be for the Athletic association. It was suggested that Prof. Dyche's animals could be used in cages for the parade and menagerie, Mr. Tisdale's old stakes could be used for a "Wild West." Abe Levy has volunteered his talent for clown and Mime. Sam Usher might be persuaded to do the great bare back riding act.
All supplies are donated, such as lemons, sugar, peanuts, lumber for seats, etc., and the society leaders of local repute will appear in Bowery dress as bawkers of circus lemonade and peanuts, and "spealers" for the side show.
Base Ball.
Why not take a brace in base ball the coming year? Why wouldn't the organization of a base ball association of the western universities be a good thing?
The following is the copy of an article from Harper's Weekly:
"Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, which comprise the western foot ball association, had their second contest in base ball this year, although they had played foot ball for three years. A game was decided as Kansas City between Kansas and Missouri, the former winning an easy victory, 17-4. which, so far as form is concerned, was far below the standard of the two universities, as may be judged from the fact that the Missouri pitcher gave Kansas 19 bases on balls.
This year the universities had nines, but the games were unimportant and of the scratch order. Base ball in the Missouri valley has not attained nearly the position of foot ball either in or out of the universities.
The only other base ball contest between the two universities of this section took place in the spring of '91, between Kansas and Nebraska at Lawrence and the game was one of the most interesting that had ever been played in the western country, Kansas tieing the score and winning in the last half of the ninth inning. 5-4.
Miss Howland's Death.
The older students of the University were greatly shocked to learn of the death of Miss Marcella Howland, which occurred last Sunday morning at 5 o'clock at her home in this city.
Miss Howland graduated from Kansas University with the class of '90 and the following year pursued post graduate work at Bryn Mawr. She was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity and her death has cast a great shadow over her Theta sisters. It is seldom we meet a young lady who was so universally beloved by all. Her pleasant genial wins won the friendship and admiration of all who knew her, and the bright, always cheerful face will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends who sympathize deeply with her stricken parents and sister.
K. S. U. Boys in Kansas City.
The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon.
Kansas City and the University of Kansas are intimately connected both in a business and an educational way. Kansas City furnishes a large number of students for the University and the University furnishes a larger number of business and professional men for Kansas City. A large number of University students upon graduation enter business and professional life in Kansas City and constitute some of her moft substantial and prosperous firms. Among the young men are Preston King, a member of the firm of Dennis Hat Co., 1066 Main. Mr King belonged to the class of 9t law and is a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. This house owns some of the finest furnishing houses in the city and all the K. U. boys will find a warm greeting at Preston King's. Mr. King was lately married to Miss Montgomery, of St. Joe. At Twelve and Broadway are Voetrel and Norber with Hugo Eysell and near the Coates House is Hi Adams. These young men are able and skillful druggists and holding good positions.
The lawyers from Kansas University are numerous and are doing well. In the New York York Life building is John Sullivan, the great democratic politician and backer of Congressman Tarsney. The latest addition is the new offices of Hadley and Brown and Paul Merril. All these boys have run University papers and know how to hustle and notwithstanding these hard times are doing lots of business. Among the K. U. boys who have been in Kansas City longer and built up a good business are Gilmore and Crane and Keed & Reed, of Kansas City, Kansas.
Notice to Members of Athletic Association of K. U.
The following is a copy of Section I of Article 10, regulating the payment of dues.
All members desiring to pay their dues for the coming year may have the privilege by applying at the office where the books of the association are now open.
"SECTION I. The dues of graduate and undergraduate members shall be $200 per annum, payable on or before the first day of October, the payment of which shall constitute him a member for the period of one year and shall entitle such members to a card of admission to the grounds of the association at all times, except when closed for private practice of a team. The payment of 50 cents shall constitute one a member for the period of one year, but shall not entitle such members to a card of admission to the grounds."

AGAIN the COURIER makes its bow at the beginning of another year, and offers itself to the students of the University. The new staff, more thoroughly organized than ever before, promises its readers and patrons of the COURIER a weekly paper which shall be the equal if not the superior of any college paper in the United States. Remember the COURIER is for you; and if it don't suit you, say so.
"The University above all things" is the motto which occupies the most prominent place in the minds of all connected with the UNIVERSITY COURTier. We stand ready to champion any cause which in any way aids the University. The COURTIer is not run to break down, to build up. The editors of the COUERTIer do not permit their own petty strifes and differences to carry them to the point of fanaticism. Remember the motto of the COUERTIer staff is "The University in all things."
The new Spooner library will be opened for the use of all the students next Monday. This building is a model one in every way. It is equipped with all the modern improvements and conveniences. Every student has the free use of every book in the library—restricted of course by necessary rules. This opportunity to read should not be neglected by any one. An hour a day spent in the library will prove of investible value in present and after life. An acquaintance with books is almost as profitable as any knowledge of men—a great many times more so. So then in counting up the privileges granted you give the library a high rank in your reckoning.
It is needless to dilate upon the great material improvements made at the University during the last few months. This subject has already been fully treated by the city papers. We can not help, however, calling the attention of all friends of the University to the large increase in attendance over last year. At the time of going to press the enrollment was 105 more than at the same time last year. This plainly points to a total registration of over 800 during the year. A diminished attendance was expected on account of the hard times prevalent throughout the state. This makes the increase the more satisfactory. The time has come when the University of Kansas is being given the recognition it deserves, as the only collegiate institution in Kansas. The time will soon be here when the University of Kansas will be recognized as the leading institution of its kind in the west.
WE welcome the new students to the University classes and organizations. But still more do we welcome him to the University life. New blood adds a stimulus to animal existence. So a veral hundred new students should add to the University an energy and renew in it an activity which would from year to year ripen into that often talked of etherical indefiniteness "University spirit." By the way what is the matter with proving that there is such a thing as 'University Spirit.' Why not go into every organization with an interest? Why not organize the classes for acquaintance and rivalley's sake? Why not go out every evening at 5 o'clock to see the team practice? It will encourage the players and give yourself a feeling of interest and ownership which will hold you closer to every man in the University of Kansas. College spirit is a thread
bare subject, but college spirit in the University is not threndrill because it has never been brought to light. Let us organize a "spirit" society for the manufacture of "University of Kansas Spirit."
The election of officers under the new constitution of the Athletic association will take place October first. And right here the Councillor wants to say that it will enter politics for the first time in several years. The Councillor believes in having for the directors of the Athletic association men who are themselves athletes or who by their past actions proved themselves to take a working interest in athletics. Let us have no more corridor-button-holders for executive officials. Let ns have men capable of managing affairs for the advancement and not the hindrance of athletics. Along this line the fight will be made. Let every man interested in athletics who was here last year think for himself. Let every new man question the old and learn of last year's reign of misrule.
A new disgruntled politicians thwarted in all else, and feeling called upon to help themselves in prominence, immediately upon the opening of the University have endeavored to organize an effort against the library fee. This effort, we are glad to say, died in its incipiency. The question of the payment of the library fee was, it was thought, settled for all time last year. The law is on the side of the payment of the fee. This in itself should be sufficient to guarantee that all Kansas men would pay it without grumbling or hesitation. Added to this right is on the side of the payment of the fee, the appropriation made by the legislature in 1893 proved itself insufficient to even partially supply the need of the University for more books. The library, good as far as it went was not in keeping with the demands of the various departments, the law library was in need, the scientific departments were in want of late and modern books, the wants of the library departments were self evident. In this dilemma the regents did what the students would have asked them to do had they been consulted, they decided to look to the students themselves for the necessary funds to replenish the books in the library and to render it equal to the demands of the school. They appealed to the patriotism of the student himself to stand by the University in the time of need. This appeal was more than gladly responded to by the loyal students but was resented by the few who love selfishness enough to cater for themselves first and the University last. It is true that such traitors who believe in always objecting to the existing condition of affairs be it good or bad, were cast off unneeded and that all loyal and true Kansans rally to the aid of the University which demands so little and gives so much.

It is no joke about Hart & Son giving the lowest rate for the best in fresh or salt meats in the town. The stewards of clubs will find it to their interest to call on them for prices.

ATTENTION!
The Bismarck Fair.
The great week of entertainment in Lawrence will be the week of the great Bismarck Fair, Sept. 24 to the 29. This will be the last opportunity the students of the University will have to see anything of this kind. In the first place Bismarck fair will be one of the finest fairs given in Kansas and the opportunity to see fine horses, cattle and great races will not be repeated this year. The thousands of dollars given away in premiums will attract the finest racers in the state and those who miss it will have only their blind stubbornness to accuse for the COURIER will have something to say about this great fair each week before it begins.
In the second place every college man enjoys a good race or the sight of fine stocks. It is just in his line and he can appreciate it. Every one will want a little recreation by that time and can easily afford to give one half a day to recreation of that kind. Don't let anyone complain of lack of time, for there is not a student in the University who can not, by dilutive application from now until September 24, study ahead of the assignment of lessons and give one half of each day to recreation of this kind. It is just such rest as this that the boys and girls need, and it is not probable that the opportunity to see the like of the Bismarck Fair again will be repeated.
Another Gift to the University.
Another Gift to the University.
A good example is worthy of imitation. So at least thinks Dr. Siemon Bell of Rosebale, Kansas. Following the example of Gov. Robinson in giving the University his entire estate, Dr. Bell comes forward with a generous offer of land to the value of $100,000 for the purpose of erecting a hospital to be used in conjunction with a medical school. For the past few years there has been considerable agitation in favor of the organization of a medical school in connection with the University of Kansas. This we are now to have. During the vacation Prof. Sayre in company with Dr. Teffany, of Kansas City, Mo., visited Dr. Bell at the latters home in Rosedale, a suburb of Kansas City. A previous intimation had been given that Dr. Bell had in mind the giving of the property to the University. The visit of Doctor Teffany and Prof. Sayre enabled Dr. Bell to inform himself on some doubtful points and a speedy consummation of the matter was brought about. Immediately upon Chancellor Snow's return from the west he visited Dr. Bell, viewed the property and signified the willingness of the University to enter into a formal contract. The deeds were made out by Hon. John Sillivan, signed by Dr. Bell and handed to Chancellor Snow. The regents met yesterday afternoon to formally accept the gift. They intend going to Kansas City today to view the property and make several important arrangements for the care of it.
The property, valued at $100,000, is situated at Rosedale, within half a mile of the Kansas City union depot. It is an admirable sight for a hospital, and the University is to be congratulated upon its good fortune. It is the intention to begin work immediately which shall lead to the establishment of a medical school. With this school our University will be in every sense of the word a "university." No longer will anyone be obliged to go out of the state for instruction in any line of work.
It is to be hoped that Dr. Bell's generosity will lead others to be generous and enable the University of Kansas to obtain the equipments necessary to fill the demands of our school. And now let us give three cheers and a Rock Chalk for Dr. Bell, three more for the friend whose interests and labors have aided so much, and three more for grand old K. U.

DOES it pay to buy a strictly first-class Piano?
If you will permit Experience to reply. we say emphatically
Therefore don't hesitate over the difference of a few dollars between the so-called very fair Piano and the
YES !
The investment is worth careful consideration.
Our prices are consistent, considering the value offered in tone, quality, construction and durability.
MATCHLESS SHAW.
From the famous pianist and composer. Court Pianist to the Emperor of Germany:
Buffalo. N Y., Aug. 27, 1892. Shaw Piano Co.; Gentlemen—The Shaw Upright Piano which you furnished for my recitals at the Buffalo Exposition, August 17th to 27th, was a revelation to me. Hitherto I have believed that such tone and perfection of action could only be found in the Great Piano, but after the severe and critical hit which I gave the Shaw Upright, I realized that for power beautiful singing quality of tone, an action which responds to every demade upon it, the Shaw Piano star unrivalled.

LITERARY.
WILD PIGEON8.
One of the most beautiful and most remarkable species of birds which inhabited Canada, New York and Pennsylvania some years ago in vast numbers is the wild pigeon. One of its most remarkable characteristics is the vast numbers which stay together in one flock when they migrate. It is now nearly extinct in that region and its extinction, to one who has lived in a country where they abounded in such vast numbers, seems almost as remarkable as the extinction of the American bison. The story told of the numbers that inhabited this country seem, to one who never saw them, almost incredible, when he knows that there are none now.
The wild pigeon is very different from the tame pigeon which inhabits barns and old buildings. It is an inhabitant of the woods exclusively. Its appearance is somewhat like the tame pigeon, but it is slimmer and not quite as large. Its plumage is more brilliant and generally darker than that of the tame pigeon. It is generally varigated. The color of its plumage differs widely. A very common color is bluish grav with more or less white and black and occasionally red. Its plumage changes color at different times in the year, and there is a difference in color between the male and female.
They were great migrators traveling at the rate of seventy-five to one hundred miles an hour. In the spring and fall when they migrated—to the north in spring and to the south in the fall—it has often been said by the old settlers of New York that they would see the head of a flock rise in the morning and that the last ones would not be seen until the first ones had disappeared beyond the horizzn. They would often be so numerous that they would form clouds so that the sun could not be seen for some time. This may seem incredible to some people, but to those who lived in Kansas during the years of seventy-three and seventy-four, and saw the grasshoppers have no reason to doubt the truth of this. When we think of grasshoppers being so thick that they almost formed clouds, it is not hard to believe that pigeons, so many times larger, might also be numerous enough to form them. What seems more incredible and lamentable is to think that they are now practically extinct in this region.
In the fall and winter when they were most abundant in the woods, was the time they were most hunted. They went north in the spring and nested in Canada. In the fall they came south to warmer climate, and in the winter they were distributed in flocks over the country to find food. They lived exclusively in the woods and fed on nuts, beech nuts being their principal food in this region.
An old settler of New York who gave
me my principal information about
Moigeons told me also how they used to
 hunt them.
"It was what one might call rather than hunting," he began, "but one who did not understand the business might some trouble in getting a very large set of goods."
use was only a quarter of a M. J. Jones, tree where pigeons freeli the finest, and I had a very easy chance of getting them. When I would see the pigeons alight I would take my old flintlock gun—for we didn't have double barrel breech loaders than—and go down to the woods. I scold had to go more than half a mile to get all the pigeons I wanted. When they first lighted they generally lighted on the ground and went along slowly vicking up bush nuts. When I would see them light I would end awor to find out which way they were working. I would then make a circuit around them and get at some convenient place in shedd of them. If I was not already so when I first saw them. I would then wait until they came within easy range, and by picking out the quickest part I would often get ten or even twenty at one shot. They are very easily frightened, however, and
the least snap of a twig would often scare the whole flock before it came within range and then all chance was lost for a while at least. I had a dog which used to be of great service in picking up the wounded pigeons which would get away and hide, if not caught at once.
"In the winter time after a sleet or or cold days after a rain, one could get pigeons very easily. They would become so chilled by the sleet and ice that froze on their feathers that one could go in the woods at night after they had gone to roost and knock them off the trees with a club. I have often gotten pigeons in this way. Thousands of them died every year from the sleet and cold.
"I wish," he continued, "that I could give you a meal of pigeon pie. I tell you it is a dish fit for a king. But I have not had one myself for a good many years. There have been practically none here for twenty years, and now it is very seldom that one is seen.
Machine Shop Changes.
A great deal has been done in the way of installing the new equipment of engenues and dynamos this summer which reflects great credit on Mr. Ward, as it took nearly his entire time this vacation.
Mr. Charles Griffith will have exclusive charge of the engine and dynamo room and will teach the engineering students how to properly fire boilers and take care of the generators.
Mr. Thomas Murphy deserxes credit for the skillful manner in which he constructed the pit for the engine foundation.
The new equipment consists of a one hundred and fifty horse power Russell engine whose speed will be about 185 revolutions per minute and whose cylinder dimensions are $15\times 20$ inches, a Woods 750 light alternating dynamo and an Eddy 27 horse power generator for power purposes. Besides this two high pressure boilers are there and the accessories, including a line of shaft 4 inches in diameter and 36 feet long, a half a dozen fne, and large belts, six friction clutches, etc.
Two new forges will be put in the blacksmith shops and the walls and floors have been whitewashed and painted.
Withal the shop is twice as good as it was last year.
What Woman Can Do.
She can say "no" in such a low voice that it means "yes."
She can do more in a minute than a man can do in an hour, and do it better.
She can throw a stone with a curve that would be a fortune to a base ball pitcher.
Six of them can talk at once and get along first rate, and no two men can do that.
She can sharpen a lead pencil if you give her plenty of time and plenty of pencils.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress while he is getting one under his thumb nail.
She can dance all night in a pair of shoes two sizes too small for her, and enjoy every minute of the time.
She can come to a conclusion without the slightest trouble of reasoning on it and no sane man can do that.
She can walk half the night with a colicky baby in her arms without once expressing the desire of murdering the infant.
She is as cool as a cucumber in half a dozen tight dr asses and skirts, while a man will sweat and fume and growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches and cream to the woman she hates while two men would be punching each others head before they had exchanged ten words
She can appreciate a kiss from her husband seventy-five years after the marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and afterward tell you what every woman in the congregation had on, and in some rare instances can give you some faint idea of what the text was.

Physical Culture in Kansas Universities.
Of late years there has been a distinct interest taken in physical culture in Kansas University in indoor as well as field athletics. The good results testify as to the worth of this movement.
Particularly can it be said of the department of physical culture in our own University. With the arrival of Mr. Cowan, arrived also a system of physical culture; not confined alone to the man, but also to the woman. Classes were organized, and it became compulsory with the freshmen and sophomores, and optional with the junior and senior classes, to spend an hour a day, three days of the week in the gymnasium. The young ladies under the care of Mrs. Clark and the young men with Mr. Cowan.
At first the industrious student complained of hack of time, but he soon found that this hour spent in the gymnasium could not have been better spent, and that from this hour's rest and recreation he was in a better condition to study the remainder of the day.
We are going to have the same system this year—and let the student body take an active interest in this work—why not have an athletic entertainment now and then, but to do this we must have some well trained athletes.
Other Kansas universities are also taking an active interest in physical culture. We find in the University of Baldwin a small, though, well equipped gymnasium, and a growing interest in the same. In this institution is also found a military department.
This is distinctly a feature of physical culture, and a good one because it straightens the cadet, and gives him much freedom in the use of his lungs.
In the Ottawa University physical culture has, heretofore, been confined entirely to outdoor exercise, but this year a new and well equipped gymnasium will be built; and every student, either male or female, will be required to take either the gymnasium or the military drill. The military drill was introduced in this university last year and from the start was a success.
This university has already done much in this direction, but more time and money spent in this will be well spent.
By the organization of an Inter High School Athletic association the interest in physical culture has entered the preparatory schools in this state, thus giving us good athletes to enter our universities, so by all means let the universities give the above movement every possible encouragement.
The Pullman Matter.
Through the influence of Prof. Blackmar it is a possibility that a co-operative car manufactory may locate in Lawrence. The professor says that while in Pullman investigating the sociological aspects of the late strike, he visited Kensington where the relief committee had their headquarters and fed the strikers. On asking what they intended doing with the number of men out of work be learned that it was the intention to start a cooperative manufactory to be located in Kansas. Prof. Blackmar invited them to come to Lawrence and examine into the many conditions favorable to this city as a location. The committee arrived here Tuesday and are being given all the inductions that can be offered to locate here.
The reason for choosing Kansas as the state in which to establish the factory are, the low rents, the comparatively cheap living, the educational advantage and the desire to get away from the contaminating influences of large cities.
If Lawrence succeeds in securing the company's locating here it will be of great benefit to the town and it wil. owe a large part of the good fortune to the efforts of Prof. Blackmar.

Foot Ball.
919 Massachusetts street.
Will our foot ball eleven regain its former reputation as a winning team:— We are inclined to answer this query in the affirmative, at least the prospects for having a winning team this fall are most flattering.
In the first place Mr. Cowan will return and be ready to place the team into hard, regular and the right kind of training by the opening of school. Mr. Cowan has been in the east during the entire summer; studying the foot ball situation, new rules and new plays, and he is now ready to train an eleven which will be a winning one.
In our coach the university has a man which cannot be excelled—and we may congratulate ourselves on having secured such a good man.
On looking over the names of the men who will go in training this fall we can feel that Mr. Cowan is going to have the material to work with—in both quantity and quality. There has been about a dozen balls out this summer; the men having these balls, working for the punting contest to take place this fall. In these men will be found some good punters, and our team will not be found wanting in this respect. The above idea is an admirable one, and should be repeated each year.
It is expected that there will be about forty men on the field at the opening of the school. "Mighty Champ." will again be with us; thus one of the "halfs" will be well filled. As to Shellenberger, or better known as "Shelly," it is still a question as to his return. Should he return we would have two halfs of whom we could well be proud. Piatt will return to take law, he will probably be found playing tackie. Piatt has a brother who will return with him, and in this man will be found a promising candidate for a position on the team. Armour and Steinberger will both return to make a hard fight for their former positions. Coleman will not return this fall. In Coleman the team loses a good man. We will also lose Johnson, the full back of "93." Hamil and Shepard will not be with us. Gail will be back and in good condition to play. Last but by far not least, Williamson will be found in his old position of "quarter," a place which he has filled for three years. As captain of the team of '94. "Willie is going to be a valuable man
Among the new men is found the name of Beaman, the athlete from Cooper memorial. This man will make a make a hard fight for center, and if he fills that place we will have no hole at "Center." Stone; Hamill, and the Fletchers will be among the men trying for places.
We have a splendid schedule this year and a number of the games will be played in Lawrence.
Now, let the team have the hearty support of the student body and the University will have a team which will be an honor to the University and to the state.

In the Oxford-Yale games Yale won the jumping, hammer throwing and shot putting contests, while Oxford won the running and high kicking contests Oxford received more points than Yale.
After a hard fight, the students of Baker have defeated the faculty and Baker will have a foot ball team this year. We have two games with Baker this year, both to be played at Lawrence.
R. D. Whitman, the tennis champion,
has been distinguishing himself this
summer. He defeated "all comers" at the
Hyde Park tournament in Kansas City,
also doing splendid work at the western
tournament at Omaha. K. U. may well
be proud of her tennis players.
Much trouble has been taken to organize an Inter High School Foot Ball league. The prospects now point for a strong association with probably seven or eight cities represented, namely Kansas City, Kansas, Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka, Lawrence, Baldwin, Ottawa and Emporia.
The opening address was delivered Friday morning by Hon. Eugene F. Ware, of Fort Scott. His subject was "Success," which he defined as "doing something for humanity." The leading thought of his production was that hearts and not brains win.
Richard Bates, alas Dick, has contributed five cents to be used in the building of the Mt. Zion African church. This was at the investigation of ladies connected with that institution.

LETTER FROM F. FUNSTON.
Written from Rampart House Porcupine River-Eastern Boundary Line of Alaska.
To give even a faint idea of my experiences since Forty Mile creek on the Yukon August 25 of last year is out of the question, for it would be as large a job as writing a book and I am too inermally ornery to write a long letter even to my best friends. I shall only attempt to give you an outline of my travels and fill in the details when I see you again.
To begin: I left Forty Mile creek alone in an eighteen foot row boat on August 25, 1893 having in the boat besides my botanical collecting outfit, four hundred pounds of flour, bacon, dried fruit and other provisions, a lot of stuff for barter with the natives, my rifle, shotgun and myself. In all the boat carried fully a ton of stuff. For six days I rowed and drifted down the Yukon camping on shore at night. It was an enjoyable ride, the weather being perfect and everything going smoothly. The river was nearly a mile wide with high bluffs, hills and mountains on both sides.
On the evening of the sixth day I reached Chief Senate's village here, seeing the first sign of human beings since I had left Forty Mile. This place is about eight miles above the mouth of the Percupine river which I expected to ascend. From Chief Senates' camp for three hundred miles the Yukon flows through a flat country and has an average width of eight miles being largely nilled up with islands, some of them comprising hundreds of acres. The great width of the river and the immense islands makes it almost impossible for a stranger to find the mouth of the Percupine, so by the vigorous use of signs, for the devils don't know a word of English, I got a young buck who knew the river to accompany me. We two and gone only a short distance when we met another young Indian who wanted to go with us, so I took him on board.
In the meantime I pitched my tent to await the arrival of the Porcupine Indians. On the ninth the long looked for best arrived with a crew of nine of the wildest looking cannabals you ever saw, big, swarthy, wild looking devils dressed in deer skins, and on the eleventh, we started on one of the best trips that any white man ever took.
The boat was about forty feet long.
The fall rains now began and kept up relentlessly until it got so confoundedly cold that it couldn't rain any more. On September 2 we crossed the Arctic circle and the next day camped at the mouth of the Porcupine river, on the site of the Hudson Bay company's trading posts of Fort Yukon, which was abandoned twenty years ago, the only signs of which now are a few decaying logs. At this place I was tortunate enough to find a white man, a fur trader by the name of Beaumont, who had been there all summer. I had expected to get natives at this place to "track." or tow, my boat up the river, as the current of the Porcupine is so swift that any other means of ascending it is out of the question, but Beaumont told me that he was soon expecting some Indians down from Rampart house with the big five barge belonging to the English mission at that place, for the purpose of taking up the river, not only the supplies for the missionary, but a few goods he was going to have a young Indian trade for furs for him. As there would be room in the barge for my stuff I decided to leave the boat at the Yukon and go up to impart house with the Indians
eight feet beam and six feet depth of hold. The means of propelling was a line 500 feet long at the ends of which the Indians were barnecered tandem and towed the boat against a six mile current. I had the privilege of riding on the deck of the barge, but to keep from shivering myself into fragments with the cold rain and everlasting north wind I took my place on the tucking place, where although wet to the skin, the exercise kept me reasonably warm. The river was generally from a quarter to a half mile wide with such villainous banks that we were kept wacing most of the time. One hundred and eleven times we were compelled to cross the river in order to get a bank that we could walk on.
On the twentieth ice began running in the river and it looked as if the internal stream were going into winter quarters before we reached our destination, but at six p. m. on the twentieth-third we pulled up at Rampart house just thirteen days from the Yukon about 200 miles and twenty-nine days since I left Forry Mile 300 miles farther up the Yukon.
Rampart house had been for several years a for trading port of the Hudson Bay company, but was abandoned a few years ago when that company withdrew entirely from the basin of the Yukon. At the same time an English missionary, Rev C. G Wallis, who had been engaged in saving the souls of the natives, folded up his surplus and sought a warmer climate in the mother country. His place was taken by Rev B. Totty about six weeks before my arrival and immediately began weeding the tares out of the Master's vineyard.
When the Hudson Bay company's trader abandoned this place he left a fairly respectable log cabin, one room of which it fitted up the best I could and for the next nine months it was to me "Home Sweet Home" with a vengeance, serving as reception room, sitting room, sleeping room, dining room, kitchen, pantry and wood shed.
The night of our arrival a heavy snow fell and the next day the river was lam ful of ice.
The days and weeks dragged along monotonously enough. There were plenty of caribou about, but the weather was so infernally cold that I could not hunt and beakles it looked like a waste of energy when I could buy from the natives a whole deer for fifty cents worth of tobacco. I saw a magnificent sight November 8. A band of about 600 caribou running before a northeast gale the natives got after them and killed more than forty
I was becoming anxious to test my qualities as a snow shoe artist and the opportunity came when four Indians determined to make the trip to Fort McPherson two hundred miles to the eastward. We took three sleds drawn by four dogs tandem. These were loaded with some stuff for the mills at Fort McPearson and our bedding cooking outf and dry meat for the dogs and ourselves. All were dressed in furs from head to foot and of course were snow shoes as the beautiful snow was waist deep on the level. On Nov. 17 we started, traveling as if his satanic majesty were directly behind us, running nearly all the time, and most of the time in the dark, the sun having disappeared for the last time on the 16th, and now we had only about four hours of twilight each day. Whenever we were worn out, which was about five or six p., in, we just bunked down in the snow, drew our furs around us and slept the sleep of the righteous. We lived on dry meat, deer tallow and tea.
On the 26th, ten days after leaving Rampart House, we reached the fort.
Fort McPherson is the most northwest-erly post occupied by the Hudson Bav company and the only one north of the Arctic circle. To say that the inhabitants of this conservative place were surprised at the arrival of a white man overland from Alaska would be expressing it mildly.
Heavens. It is a lovely place. They hear from the outside world only once a year. We had four days of much needed rest and on December 1 started on the return covering the two hundred miles in eight days going as hard as we could "lick it" down for ten hours a day. Talk of sore feet and limbs and stiff joints when every step was a torture—it nearly makes me slip to think of it I was in a pitiful condition when we reached Rampart House—sore, stiff, worn down to skin and bone and nearly all the epidermus frosted off from my highly intellectual mug. I had snowshoes the round trip of 400 miles in seventeen days, exclusive of the five days rest and slept out of doors and lived on food that a respectable dog would disdain. I carried my U. S. weather beaieu thermometers on the trip. The maximum temperature in the twenty-two days was 31 deg, below zero. The minimum 52 deg. below. Gawd Eddie just think of your only gry sleeping out of doors when he needed but open his little eye to see the stars, with the thermometer 52 deg. below zero.
I hung up at the Rampart House the remainder of the winter counting the long dark days as they dragged themselves along. On January 25, Old Soul reappeared after an absence of seventy days remaining only two minutes, but each day showing himself a few minutes longer until now it is light all night.
During the winter I had a row with the Indians, but that is a long, long story suffice it to say that I came very near potting a lot of fellows who were going to knock in my door because I had given one of them a cut with my dog whip.
I made a very hard trip, but one which paid me, to visit the San Francisco Whaling fleet in winter quarters on Herschel Island. There were the steam whalers "Balaena," "Nawahal," "Karbul," "Newport," "Jeanette," "Grampur" and "Mary D. Hume" manned by three hundred white men and a hundred Eontumax. If the people at Fort McPharson were surprised at n.y arrival you may imagine the state of mind of the whalers when I showed up. They thought it the biggest thing they had ever heard of and nearly killed me with kindness. You should see the games of base ball on the ice of the Arctic ocean with the thermometer twenty degrees below zero, the wind blowing a gale and so full of snow that the pitcher had to locate the batter by compass. They have a league formed from the officers and crew and get oceans of fun out of it. After a pleasant visit of four days I started for Rampart house and reached there after an absence of thirty-nine days and have been here ever since.
The ice is breaking up now and in a few days I start down the river and about July 10 will connect with a steamer and get the first news from home since I left a year and a half ago. I expect to reach San Francisco along in October and thence home FRED FUNSTON.
In another part of this issue will be found a letter from Fred Fueston to Prof. Franklin. With expurgations and annotations it is a very readable and an extremely interesting account of some of his experiences in the wilds of Alaska.

"The University above all things" is the motto of the COUCHI
"No college in all England publishes a college paper." How thankful all England ought to be.
The Courier does not feel compelled or even called upon to state why it is An apology for existence intimates a shadow of a doubt of the desirability of that existence. We might call attention to the fact that the Courier was published before and after the Times, before and after the Kansas and we feel sure we will be able to say the same of one other paper we have heard of.
The universal praise which has been bestowed upon the University within the last week is indicative of the tendencies of the times. The people of states other than Kansas have awakened to the fact that a school has grown up here which is claiming the attention of educators throughout the west. They realize that there is a University the equal of which in past record and future possibilities cannot be found west of the Mississippi river. Hurrah for old K. U.'s
A week from next Monday the annual election of officers for the Athletic association will take place. Let every man subscribe for a share of stock. Let each man vote his own share. The idea that some men have that because they have been in school for three or four years they are in a position to demand allegiance from exory new man who enters, is absurd. Let us have no more of this bossism in University politics. A man who can not think for himself is not fit for the University. Every man who can and does think for himself will pay no heed to those pretended friends of athletics who in reality are working for their own personal interests. Watch out for them. Beware, they will betray you. Vote for men sworn to be either athletes or interested in athletics.
If the man who is able to play football and does not, but knew in what severe and contemptuous tones he is spoken of by those students who love the game and who have the good reputation of the University at heart he would never again show his face in company. In close proximity to him is the man who practices but once a week and then only when the notion strikes him. To be able to do acts the performance of which would build up the University's name in athletics and not do those acts is a sign of a nature selfish and unpatriotic to the extreme. The University needs more man in the practic games on McCook field, the need is for men who play to win not for grand stand applause. A man's good plays may never be publicly noticed but the fact that he plays at all commends him to the true University man. Let us have no shirking. If you are going to play football be on the field every night. If you are not going to play regularly give up your suit to a man who will. Let every man who can play football or make an attempt at it get a suit and get to work
SHOULD a college paper be an exact imitation of a great city weekly or should it be a paper which shows by its every effort that it is a college paper. This is a question often discussed and is the question which always confronts the college editor when he takes charge of a paper for the first time. Is he to attempt the editing of a paper which will
discuss questions of importance to the nation and state or trivial littleseries of no importance to the outside world but of the greatest moment to the college world? Then again, is he to edit a paper which will mention no names, make no figures and do no good? These questions present themselves to the editor of the Courtroom. He has thought them over, viewed them from all sides and has come to the following conclusions: He is going to run a paper which shall savor of college affairs. He is going to perpetrate nothing but college jokes. He is going to call down every man who attempts a selfish act. He is going to hold up to ridicule all those who have proved themselves deserving of it. In fact he is going to make himself the spokesman for the University which he represents.
Theta Nu Epsilon.
The Theta Nu's are with us. In the language of the Immortal Troxel, she is no irridescent dream.
The mysterious organization of which so many rumors have been set alloy by local and state papers is in K, U.
Last year a dozen or so of good men and true, and with similar tastes (some say Pabst) met and formed the Beta Epsilon chapter of T. N. E.
The charter, constitution, ritual, etc. was obtained from the Alpha chapter at Middletown, Conn., of Weslyan.
It took no little degree of diplomatic correspondence and funds to secure the charter as only the best schools in the country are eligible and K. U., should feel proud to be considered as such. The Beta Epsilon chapter is the only one between the University of Michigan and Leand Stanford.
The charter members are: Jack Lahmer, Carl Folks, Harry Fox, Herbert Taylor, Rolla Mitchell, Lawrence Chamberlain, Jack Morgan, Jimmy Harding, Lorin Sears, A. W. Sheepard, Fred King F.B. Dains, Billy Wynn and others, truly an illustrious roll.
Immediately after being made T N E N in, due form, everybody seated them-
Immediately after being made a MIA in due form everybody seated themes at the banquet table, many were the toasts that evening, but by far the best one was from Silvery Tongue Billy Wynn, who arose and gave a toast to "Theg irls of our city." This is one of Mr. Wynn's best, and as nearly everyone has heard it, it a needs no publication. Mr. Chamberlain responded to Billy in a similar vein.
At half past nine the boys dispersed until the next meeting when the freshies should be initiated
The freshmen were initiated the last part of the year at the close of the school. They then became the active members for the ensuing year.
Amidst the wild grandeur of the Wakarusa swamp, in the dead of night the trembling freshmen were "put through"
A dozen or more carriages furnished transportation for the charter members and all the alumni from the surrounding country. The lights of theses and numerous pine torches and red lights made a scene never to be forgotten. Here the ritual went on smoothly, except the chaplain forgot his bible, however, Jim Harding lent his pocket one, with which he is never without.
The Misses L. E. and I Engle have just received a fine new line of the latest styles in fall millinery goods and will be glad to have their old patrons among the K. U. girls and all the new ones to give them a call.
A second banquet was of course necessary after the ceremonies after which the boys dispersed and in an orderly manner proceeded to their rooms to sleep and dream (those that could) over T. N. E.

The Lecture Course.
Mr. N. B. Edminster, the representative of the Redpath Lycceum bureau, has been here the greater part of the week trying to infuse enough energy into the lecture bureau to have a lecture course during the coming winter. As yet nothing has been decided, but the class elections have been called for the latter part of the week and representatives will be chosen to form a new bureau and in all probability there will be a course this year. The Redpath Lycceum bureau are agents for all the principal lectures, readers and musical attractions of the country and a good course could be chosen from their catalogue. If the University lecture bureau does not take hold of the matter there is a plan on foot among some of the students to give it on their own responsibility. It would be far better for the interests of the University for our bureau to manage the course and it is to be hoped that the managers of the bureau will exert themselves sufficiently to secure a series of desirable attractions.
LATER--Wednesday afternoon the lecture bureau accepted a proposition made by Fred Bowersock to assume the responsibility and management of a lecture und musical course, so the matter is settled. The course is said to be the best ever offered in the city, and is as follows: In October, The Moody Male Quartette; in November, P. S. Henson; in December, Engene Field; in January, Mrs. Scott Siddons; in February, Geo. R Wendling; in March, The Mozart Symphony club.
We apologize for omitting in our last week's issue the names of Messrs Field, Sterling and Schreiner who are among the Dickinson county students in attendance at the University. Mr. Schreiner was captain of the Abilene foot ball team and will play for a position on the 'Varsity. But the greatest of men among the Dickinson county delegation is "Bob" Woods of Abilene. He weighs 220 pounds and will play foot ball. The association gave a special order for a suit which came today and "Bob" will have an opportunity to show the "fight" his father, Gen. C. R. Woods, of Chattanooga fame, had.
Prof. Dainic's many friends will be glad to know where he is located and that he is still interested in the University. This is a sample of the many letters the COURRIER is receiving from old alumni:

AN EXPERIENCE IN WILD AND WOOLY
"The last fifteen years have made great changes in Kansas," said a Linn county farmer to me one day, as we were husking corn from the shock one bright and frosty September morning. "I rode across this country to Pratt county fifteen years ago this fail. A great part of the way I went straight across the country, there being no fences to hinder my way; and very few houses were to be seen. I doubt if one could make the same journey now and travel fifty miles across the prairie.
"By the way" said I. "I should be much pleased to have you relate the details of your journey, us I know that you had some adventures."
He seemed to be pleased to have me ask him, and pushing down another armful of cornstocks he knelt on one side of it, while I did the same on the other side, and began
"I had been planning to visit my father who lived out in Pratt county and along in the fall I had my affairs in shape so that I could leave them, so one morning I saddled my horse—a young, strong excellent riding animal—strapped a pair of blankets and a gumcoat on the back of the saddle, and started off.
"The first days journey was through a country quite numerously populate", and my way was very easy, as there were plenty of persons to guide me. I made good time and by noon of the second day we several miles beyond Le Roy. I was now getting into a country quite sparingly settled. The only marks of civilization that could be seen were occasionally a house and large herds of cattle scattered here and over the prairie. The range was good and pleasant then The principal settlers were cowboys. I arrived at a little town, the name of which I have forgotten, about 8 o'clock that evening. I put my horse in a livery stable and stopped for the night at the hotel. Hotel accommodations were not very luxurious in those little towns then I slept that night on a bed made principally, it seemed to me, of corn husks and bed bugs. I can assure you, I have passed more agreeable nights than that one, and not gone to any great expense to do it either. However, next morning I started out early, feeling not much the worse for my night's experience. I intended to reach Eidorado that night. To do this I had along wearisome day's rue before me.
I was now coming into a country where nothing could be seen but prairie, except when occasionally a flock of prairie chickens or a prairie dog town would relieve the monotony. I had to direct my course the best way I could, as there were no land marks to help me. About dark that night I came to a place where the trail branched in three directions. I concluded to trust to luck and my horse, so throwing the reins over his neck I let him take his choice. Just as he reached the place where the trails branched he shied at some object in the path,avel three men rose and began owing me some questions. I did not rift to listen to their remarks, but Thieve Billy the spurs. I have no idea who they were, but I did not care to make their acquaintance just then.
As if happened Billy took the right path, and we reached our destination about 10 o'clock, very tired, for neither myself, nor my horse had water since about 10 o'clock that morning
"I arrived at Wichita about 3 o'clock the following day, and took provisions for two days for I did not intend to stop at any more towns on my way. When I was out of town I again found myself on a broad expanse of prairie. I saw several herds of antelope during that day and jackrabbits too numerous to mention. I stopped that night on the banks of a little stream where I found good water for myself and my horse. I shot a prairie chicken with my revolver so that with this and my other provisions I had a good supper and breakfast.
"The next morning as I was riding along, suddenly noticed a party of five
horsesmen coming towards me, riding their horses at a gallop. I thought at first that I had best get away from them as soon as possible as I did not like their actions, and was not anxious about making their acquaintance at that particular time. But on second thought I concluded to keep on at my usual rate, for I would be a great deal more likely to attract their attention if I ran, and they would probably overtake me at any rate. I soon observed that they had seen me, however, and that they intended to over take me. I kept on at my usual rate, however, and they soon overtook me. The leader riding up to me asked me who I was, where I was going, and numerous other questions of one kind and another, and finally accused me of having stolen some cattle which belonged to them. This somewhat surprised me, but I supposed it was only an excuse they had made to stop me, and find out my business there.
"Now you might as well be frank and fees up,' he said. 'It will be the best for you in the end.'
"I began to plead with them. I told them that I had seen no cattle and that I was only a traveler going through the country." Pratt county, and that they certainly had no evidence of my having stolen any cattle.
"Evidence or no evidence, if you don't tell us where them cows are we'll just string you up to a cottonwood till ye do tell. You thought you'd get away by riggin up this kind of tale did ye."
"Pleading seemed to have no effect on them. My arguments, however logical, seemed to be in vain. Finally I said to them as calmly as I could:
" Gentlemen, you can hang me if you desire; you are able to do it, but you can not make me tell something I know nothing about."
"Gittin' quite frisky, aint he," said one of the party.
"They ordered me to follow them, and they started north in the direction of a creek. We had ridden about two miles, when we saw a lone horseman appear over the noll, riding his horse at full speed. Soon after a party of horsemen appeared. It was evident they were chasing the head one. They were gaining rapidly on him and soon came near that the head one of the party threw a laxus over the poor fellow's neck and jirked him off the saddle. The men in my party seemed to know who the party was, and started towards them immediately. They signaled to them and were answered by the others, who came toward us. The poor fellow whom they had captured was scared nearly to death, but when he saw that I was also a captive his face brightened up considerably. I do not know whether he thought he was going to have company on his way to the happy hunting ground or not, but something seemed to cheer him. He had confessed of having stolen the cattle which they accused me of stealing, and after a council they decided to let me go. They then started off toward a tree on the bank of the creek with their unfortunate captive.

ATHLETICS.
JOIN THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION,
JOIN THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
In both the University papers, one article of the constitution of the above association was published; the article in regard to membership. This article states that for fifty cents one may become a member of the association and be entitled to a vote; for the payment of two dollars one may become a member of the association and also receive a ticket which will admit him to all games and meets in McCook field, under the direction of the University Athletic association, for a period of one year.
The majority of students should become a members in this second way, for if interested in the different athletic teams of the University he should do this much for their support. And second, there is already two foot ball games scheduled for the home grounds and a strong probability or one or two more being scheduled; besides these there will be the field meets and the base ball games. So from an economical standpoint, this is a good plan.
Let the students enter into this with a good will, and show that you have some University spirit.
THE TRAINING QUARTERS
The builder, formerly occupied by the law department of the University, is now used as the training quarters for the football eleven.
As to the situation of this building, nothing need be said, for every student by this time knows where North College is. At present only the first floor is being used by the team. The room, on the northeast corner of the building, is used as the dressing room. During the early part of last week, water was put in the building and a well equipped bath room is the result. This is one of the nicest features of the training quarters and by reason of the bath very likely cases of sickness will be avoided. For, as before, when the team had no well equipped quarters, the players walked quite a distance to their rooms and after getting there sat around for an hour or so—thus taking chances of having a cold next day.
The training table was started this week with about fifteen members. The food of this table will not be found wanting in either quality or quantity, as there will be plenty of good, plain, substantial food known as "muscle making" food.
Let the students take an active interest in everything connected with the eleven. During your spare hours inspect the quarters and by so doing you will show an interest in the team
FOOTBALL
During the past week there has been a marked improvement in the team and the good results of careful and systematic training are beginning to show.
Mr. Cowan's system is certainly an admirable one. At 4 p.m. the men trying for places on the team are expected to be at the training quarters, putting on their suits and getting ready for the afternoon's practice. At 4:30 they report at McCook field. For about twenty minutes the time is spent in punting, passing and falling on the balls. This warms and limbs the man for the practice game which follows. After this preliminary exercise, the men are divided in two eleven; one, the first eleven, the other, the "scrub," the men constituting the first eleven having shown some superiority over the others, from time to time the members of both are changed The teams then "line up" for a short but hard game, in which every man plays the best that he can. After playing until a few minutes before 6 the members of both teams take position along the line of one of the goal posts and prepare for a race across the field to the other goal. We notice among the first to finish in this, are Turner, Steinberger, Morrison, Shellenberger and others from time to time. The time made in this is near fifteen seconds. From this it is evident that there are some good sprinters on the team This closes the practice for the afternoon. The men now go to the
quarters, bathe and get ready for supper.
Among the men playing on the first eleven is found Shellenberger, Steinberger, Armour, Williamson, Stone, Pope, McMurry W., McMurry A. and Walker. Shellenberger's running and dodging is always brilliant and always that of a cool headed player. Steinberger's end plays, as they attracted attention last year, they attract much attention this year. Armour has not been here long as the others, but still he is putting up his usual good game. Williamson plays "full" just as if he had never played any other position. His punting is certainly A No.1, and he has become quite proficient in kicking goals from the field. Our "full back" this year will certainly not be excelled, and it is doubtful if he will meet his equal, in the teams which we will play. Stone is playing his usual strong game at center. Pope's playing at "guard" is very much like that of "Shorty" Hamill's last year; Pope is a good man and will probably make the team. The running and dodging of McMurry W. is every good; with good interference he will usually make a gain. At present, however, the interference is weak, and much improvement in this direction is necessary. Morrison is playing a good game behind the line.
The students seem to be taking more interest daily and during this week there has been quite a crowd out to cheer and encourage the team.
There has been a little objection on the part of the players in regard to the spectators getting on to the field. By every one moving back a little each will be able to see and thus no one will be in the way.
Let the number of students who go out to the practice increase daily. Try to get out two or three afternoons of the week. You can spare an hour late in the afternoon for the sake of the University eleven. Let the team see that they have the support of the students, and this will go a long ways towards making a winning team.

New Millinery Styles.
No . 3.
After an absence of several weeks Mrs. Cheverton has returned and is now at her former place at La Mode. Mrs Cheverton was in Chicago a greater part of the time and there learned all about the late millinery styles. There are so many in variety of shape and color that it is almost impossible to give a general idea of what the new things are. Hats and bonnets are both much larger this year than last season and they are trimmed to profusion with feathers, flowers and braids.
Many of the new goods used by Merrill-Coverton purchased for La Mode while away have already arrived. The rest will come in inside the next few days. The new styles in the new colors are now to be seen at the store, but the fall opening will take place next Wednesday. Then it is the intention to show all the latest fall styles and pretty things in the millinery line.
Gear has returned from Kansas City where he pitched two winning games of ball for Ellsworth against the Smeltzers. Mattsion also played in the game. K. U. will have a winning team next year.
Moody of Y. P, S. C. E, Y. M. C.A., W. C. T. U. E. L. fame has not only sanctioned the long visored cap, but has adopted it himself.
At the Opera House.
The play last night was one of the most interesting that has been in town for a long time. From beginning to end it was full of laughter and fun and kept the audience roaring. The company deserves great credit for the rendition of the play last night and it serves as a good notice to theatre goers of the excellent entertainment provided by this company. They will be at the opera house the remainder of this week.
Lady Windermere's Fan,
No new play has been awaived with such peculiar interest as is attached to Oscar Wilde's famous comedy, "Lady windermere's Fan," which will have its First local production at the opera house Tuesday evening. It will be presented by Gustave Frohman's company. American theatre goers think better of Oscar Wilde after witnessing a performance of his wonderful and clever play, while following the perfect fusilade of epigrams which run through the piece, one forgets Wilde as the long-haired, short-trowered sunflower poet; no other living, dramatist has written in a single play so much exceptionally clever dialogue, and it cannot be argued that a crisp and brilliant dialogue is the only merit of the play. Mr. Wilde tells a strong story and unfolds a consistent plot, and the scene in the third act where the mother pleads with her daughter is one of the most intensely dramatic and deftly wrought scenes ever seen upon a stage.
The Chemical and Mineralogical Seminary.
The first meeting of the term was held on Thursday afternoon at 5. E. C. Franklin, in giving some account of the chemical department at John Hopkins University, told of the general organization of the institution and of the several departments. The work for the doctors degree is arranged to cover three years. One principal subject is chosen and two minor subjects. The work of investigation is carried on very systematically under the direction of Prof Remsen. He always has a large number of students working on three or four lines of research that he is steadily and persistently pushing forward, and the result in the aggregate is an immense addition to the sum of our knowledge on these subjects.
E. Haworth gave an interesting account of the work of the geological field work of the summer. Work has been begun in the extreme southeastern part of the state, and times have been run in various directions, carefully studying the stratigraphy, so that ultimately we shall be able to map the whole state. In connection with this, some work has been done on the soils of this region and samples of coal have been secured; these will all be studied at the University.
E. H. S. Bailey reported on the recent meeting of the American Chemical society which he attended at Brooklyn. After giving some facts in relation to the work of the association, he told of the valuable papers read at this meeting and of the exceptional opportunities that those had who attended for study of some special industries in the vicinity of New York, as excursions were made to many large manufactories.
G. I. Adams gave an account of his recent visit to a natural gas region, where he found that the deposit was only local, and the gas was "marsh gas," which was obtained by stirring up the soil.
The next meeting of the seminary will be held in two weeks at 5 o'clock instead of 5.

Don't forget to register for the Athletic association. You may regret it if you don't.

Next week the election of officers of the Athletic association takes place. We have already spoken of this subject in previous issues. We merely wish to remind you to pay your fee and register.
The opening address, "Success in Life," by Hon. E.F. Ware has just been issued from the State Press and copies of it can be obtained at the University of office. This able, bright and scholarly address should be in the possession of every student
Why do you not walk over to McCook field about five o clock some evening.
The walk will do you good. You will enjoy watching the practice. But most of all you will encourage the players.
A crowd of spectators stimulates a man to do twice his ordinary playing. Come out tonight and help make up a crowd.
On last Friday the first issue for this year of the University Counterm appeared to gadget the hearts and inform the minds of the students. Long live the COURSE—Students's Journal.
Thank you. Encourage adds more of a stimulus to man's work than anything else. Words of praise coming from you are appreciated, you may rest assured.
Why does the superintendent of grounds not put back in place the walk which formerly led to the University from the north. This walk should be laid from the library building to the walk leading to the stand pipe. In rainy weather it is with the greatest difficulty that progress is made in the soft earth north of the library. Why not watch out for a few of these points, Mr. Superintendent. ___
The women of Lawrence in conjunction with the Women's League have fitted up one of the large rooms in the basement of the new Spencer library for the use of the young women of the University. Here the young women can eat their burches or test when tired. The room is fitted up both elegantly and comfortably. Such a room has been needed at the University for several years past and the thanks of the young women are due the generous women of Lawrence ___
It is always customary for the college editor to give a column of advice to the new and supposed unsophisticated student. The editor of the Counrier has withheld his letter of advice until now in the hope that the new student, accustomed to his surroundings, will be the better able to receive new ideas and act upon then. We hope the student body will pardon us if we use plain language, but in the words of the immortal O'Connell, "it must be did."
First—Don't drink in every story you
year. Ask for facts.
Second—If a man attempts to control your movement; first question him as to whether or not he is enrolled in the University. If he says no request him, politely of course, to mind his own business.
Third—If a smooth used in the latest sense of the word) young man calls you to one side and attempts to get the promise of your vote in the coming election, beware of him, he is untrustworthy.
Fourth—Don't sign a petition until you
examine the presenter as regards his sanity. Heretofore all petition fiends have been found wanting above the eyes.
Just as we go to press the announcement of the death of Lorin B. Sears, of the class of '94 reaches us. This is a sudden shock to every student of last year. Later particulars will be given next week.
THERE are still several men who would make first class football material who have not as yet been seen on the football field. Other universities are practicing hard and faithfully with the sole aim of heating Kansas University. We must have every good man practice and he who does not, does not only himself but also the University an injustice. It is gratifying, however, to note the faithfulness of those who have come out and also to see how much improvement has been made the past week in the playing of a most every man. In the last few days several men have showed themselves capable of playing better ball than was expected of them. But we must have hard practice every evening before we shall feel able to stand up against Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.
THE secretary of the Athletic association has posted a notice calling a meeting of the members of the association for Friday. September 28, at 1 o'clock. The purpose of this meeting is said to be to vote upon several amendments to the constitution of the association. What these amendments are matters little. The Courier wishes to call the attention of all students to the following statements: Last spring a meeting of the Athletic association was called, at which a new constitution was adopted and a new association formed under its provisions as soon as the association could obtain a charter. This charter was obtained and the old officers installed according to the rules of the new association. But who are members of this new association? -Only those who have paid their dues on or before the first of October with the exception of the board of directors who, under the articles of incorporation 'are ex-officer members of the association'. Who then can vote upon the proposed amendments? No one. There are no members until the first of October. Any action taken Friday would be illegal. We say this merely as a warning—not in the interest of or in opposition to the amendment
THE editor of the COURIER has been asked to suggest a plan for choosing the speakers in the coming Kansas-Nebraska joint debate. Rule No. 1, of the regulations adopted for the government of the debate is: Each University shall determine the time and manner in which its speakers are to be chosen. And now the question is how are we to choose our representatives. Some think that it might be advisable to hold a contest similar to the annual oratorical contest, the men winning the first three places to be the speakers in the joint debate. Such a contest would be a test of a man's literacy and elocutionary powers rather than of his ability as a debater. As it is the speaker's ability as a debater that is tested it seems entirely wrong to choose the representatives in any other way than by a debate. Therefore it seems that the best way to do is that after the subject for the joint debate has been adopted, as rule VII indicates: The University where the debate is to be held shall propose not later than Dec 5, at least three questions, from which, not later than Dec. 15, the other university shall select one if satisfactory, a test debate should be held in which six debaters could take part. If there should be more than six a second debate could be held. The best men from the two trial debates should then contest for the place of representative at the joint debate. In this way the best man would beyond all doubt be selected. The subject for the trial debates could be the one chosen for the joint debate. In this way the winning debaters would become familiar with all sides of the question. Such, in br ef, is the plan which appears the best to the Courier. It would be a clear test o knowledge and ability.
1. Each university shall determine the manner in which its speakers are to be chosen.
Proposed Rules for the Kansas- Nebraska Joint Debate.
2 No one but a regular and regularly matriculated student in some school or department of the Univesity may be chosen to speak.
4. Each speaker shall be allowed fifteen minutes, and in addition each side shall have ten minutes for rebuttal, the closing speakers to be chosen by the sides they represent.
3. Each university shall be represented by three speakers
5 The place for the nirst debate shall be chosen by lot; after the first the debates shall alternate.
6. The first debate shall be held on the evening of the first Friday in May, 1895.
7 The university where the debate is to be held shall propose not later than December 5, at least three questions, from which not later than December 15, the other university shall select one if satisfactory, and the sides shall be chosen by lot on the first Friday in April preceding the debate.
8. Lots for the first debate shall be drawn by the president of the University of Missouri.
9. Three judges shall be selected by the chancellors of the two universities. No one shall be chosen judge who is a resident of either state represented, or who has an interest in either university.
10. All necessary expenses connected with the debate shall be met by the university where the debate is held.

AN EXPERIENCE IN WILD AND WOOLY KANsAS.
"I followed the party back toward the creek. It was evident that they were going to hang the unfortunate man. When he saw where they were going he broke down and wept bitterly. Such scenes, however, had no effect on his captors; they were accustomed to them.
"When they arrived at the tree they put one end of a rope around his neck, threw the other end over a hob and told him to say what he wished to be fore dying. He now stopped weeping and looked calm and thoughtful. He was a fine looking fellow, of a tall, muscular form, with a very intelligent looking fact. He had by no means the appearance of a criminal; in fact he was far better appearing than his captors, who intended hanging him for a doubtful crime.
"Gentlemen," he said, "I would like to say a few words before I die, to which I hope you will listen.
"I stole the cattle, as I told you, or at least I drove away several that had your brand on them. They are not y ur cattle, gentlemen as you know, but they belong to two men in Kansas City, who probably never saw or never will see them. I lied in Kansas City before I came out here. I have a wife and children there now, whom I have to support. I know the men who own the cattle that you take care of. I have never said any thing against these men because I knew it would do no good; but now as I am going to die I want to tell you, gentlemen, what I think of this business that you are engaged in.
you have been here with a small herd of cattle last spring, intending to get a ranch so that I could bring my wife and children here. My cattle disappeared day after day until now I have none left. I have no money to support my wife and c children. You know as well as I, what became of the cattle. They were run in with your heard or some other big herd and branded. You are paid for doing this business by the thieves in Kansas City, only small wages. Your work is hard; you get nothing for stealing other people's cattle and making these Kansas City thieves masters of this whole western prairie, and yet when a man tries to get enough back, from what has been stolen from him, to go home and to get something to eat for his family, you, in order to make these robbers more undisputed despoils of the prairies hang him I was fully aware of the danger I encountered when I took the cattle but I driven by despair to do it at all hazards.
"Gentlemen. I am now ready, if you will let this man, whom you have just set free, take this message to my wife and children."
"During this speech all had listened attentively, When he had finished, Bob Matters, a big fellow who seemed to be the leader of the party, rode up beside the unfortunate fellow, took the rope from his neck and said:
"Follows, you see I have taken the rope from this man's neck and if there is any one here who wants to put it back one more time for kill first." Some
we has got me ter kill first. Some looked astonished, but no one offered to put the rope around the fellow's neck again, for they knew that what Bob Matters said he meant.
"I have concluded to quit this business, and if you tellers want ter work for them robbers ye can, but I am through with them."
"We are all with ye Bob," responded one of the party coming forward.
"I tell ye, fellers, we will take all the cattle that belong to us away, start a herd of our own, and let our Kansas City employers do the best they can to get some body else. We can send this man to Kansas City to sell our cattle when they are ready for market, and we won't need to let any robbers make themselves rich over our stealing. I never thought before what a big fool I was to be stealing for those fellows, but I don't intend to do it any more."
"Nor I," said some one else.
"Nor I either," said a second.
"Well, boys, let's strike out for camp and make preparations," Matters said, and they rode away and left me to go on my way.
"I stopped at a ranchers house about 6 o'clock the next day after this experience and asked the rancher if he could tell me where Capt. S—lived, as I thought I could not be far from my destination, and to my delight he told me he knew him well, and that he lived about a smile west of there in a small sod house,—sod houses were about the only kind there was there then. I arrived in about twenty minutes. I found my father sitting in front of the house reading a newspaper. He guessed at once who I was though he had not seen me for six years.
"I told him my experience and he said that it was true that the big cattle owners stole all the cattle that were brought into the county in small herds; but was a little surprised at the declarations of the cowboys, for most of them he said were bad characters, although there was occasionally one who would be in the right kind of company, a good man.
Where did you get so many turkeys'
I asked, as I noticed several hanging on
a tree in front of the house.

INTACTS FROM NEW RULES-
No momentum mass plays shall be allowed. A momentum mass play is one where more than three men start before the ball is put in play. Nor shall more than three men group for that purpose more than five yards back of the point where the ball is put in play.
A side which has made a touchback or a safety, must kick out, except as otherwise provided, from not more than twenty-five yards outside the kicking goal. If the ball go into touch before touching a player, it must be kicked out again, and if this occur twice in succession, it shall be given to the opponent as in touch on the twenty-five yard line, or nearer their own goal, and the kickers side must be behind the ball when kicked, or be adjudged off side. Should a second touchback occur before four downs have been played, the side defending the goal may have the choice, a down at the twenty-five yard line, or a kick out. Exception, wherever a side has tried a drop kick at the goal upon the first down inside the twenty five yard line, and the result has been a touch back, the line of kick out shall be the ten yards instead of the twenty-five yards line in determining the positions of the opponents and the kickers side must be behind the ball when it is kicked.
A side which has made a touch down in their opponent's goal must try at a goal, either by place kick or punt out. If the goal be missed, the ball shall go as a kick off at the center of the field to the defenders of the goal.
If the ball go into touch, whether it bound back or not, a player of the side which touches it down must bring it to the spot where the line was crossed, and there either:—1st, touch it in with both hands, at right angles to the touch line, and then kick it, or, 2nd:—Walk out with it at right angles to the touch line any distance not less than five or more than fifteen yards, and there put it down for a scrimage, fast declaring how far he intends walking. The man who puts the ball in must face the field or the opponents goal, and he alone can have his foot outside the touch line. Anyone except him, who puts his hands or feet between the ball and his opponents goal is off side.
The man who puts the ball in play in a scrimage can not pick it up until it has toucaced, some third man—"third man" means any other player than the one putting the ball in play and the man opposite him.
The following shall be the value of each point in scoring:
Goal obtained by touch down, 6.
Goal from field kick, 5.
Touch down failing goal, 4.
Safety by opponents, 2.
THE ORGANIZATION OF CLASS FOOTBALL
TEAMS.
As the time for the football season draws nearer, and the hard training of our 'Varsity' team continues; the following question enters many students minds;—why cant we have some minor football games—or why wouldn't the organization of class teams give us some fair football?
One objection is instantly brought forth. Why, a football team cannot play without hard, regular training. Of course, for a team which intends to play a large number of very strong games and these in close succession, hard, regular training is absolutely necessary. But this need not and certainly would not be the duty of one class games. Very probably if such an organization were brought about the number of games played by each team would not exceed four and possibly not that many. For the space of two months, certainly the playing of four games in this time would injure no one, and then again, the time of playing could easily be shortened, for instance instead of playing 35 minutes "halfs" these could last but 30 or even 25, and still the game would afford much pleasure and amusement. The new rules have abolished all mass and momentum
plays; thus one opportunity for injuring the players is done away with, and by the employment of the third official, the "linesman" who assists the ampire in the detection of "fouls," the slugging, tripping and various other ways of injuring players have been done away with. One who carefully reads the rules sees plainly that football is not the "dangerous" game as styled by some. For example on our own "Varsity" foot ball eleven there were no more men injured than on our base ball nine—and no one says that base ball is a "dangerous and brutal" game. So, by very little training we could have some very good and certainly some exciting games—bound to be exciting by reason of the class spirit which would preyail there. We have our physical culture under Mr. Cowan, now, with but little additional team practice we could have minor football games.
Then the subject of class spirit comes up. Who does not wish to see much class spirit and what other thing would make us think so much of our class and of our class mates—both questions are very difficult to answer. At present there seems to be a little class spirit of the kind, which with a little encouragement would increase rapidly and in the right direction. The unfortune feeling between the fraternity students of even the same classes, which seems to have been established some years ago is slowly but surely losing ground—much to the pleasure of the majority of both factions. Believing that the plan which has been suggested in this article would do much to do away with this feeling; the writer earnestly urges that the class officers take hold of this with "both hands" and put forth every effort to have such an organization as has been suggested. Don't one class wait for another—but each class step forward for itself.
FOOTBALL.
As the time for the opening of the football season approaches the interest in the game increases with much rapidity. We see more-men trying for places on the "varsity" team, many of whom have never played before, but believe in the theory that if they don't get out and try they will never know whether or not they can play football. These are the men who will make the team and who should receive every encouragement from the old players and from the management. The number of students who go out to the practice ground is also increasing and the team is receiving great encouragement by reason of this. Let this number increase daily. Girls, you should take an interest in the "varsity" eleven. Why can't you show your pride and love for the University? You could easily get up a crowd one or two evenings each week, and certainly you will find that your time has been well spent and that the trip to the athletic grounds has afforded you much real pleasure.
A number of new men who had been waiting for suits, have been out during the last week. Among these is Woods, a large, well built athletic appearing young man and a man who will probably make an A. No. 1 center rush. Platt is playing strong "full" and will probably play this position on the team. Williamson is playing his usual cool headed game at quarter and this feature of Willie's playing in being captain is showing very plainly. He is just the man in the right place. Burney is playing a strong offensive game, being quick and always ready to move with the ball. The next week or two will probably decide who will be members of the "varsity" team. Let the team continue to have the encouragement of the student body.

Success to them.
Pap Cowan has at last donned a suit and is now found lined up with the rest of the team.
Hill is playing a great game for the "scrubs." He made a touch down on the first eleven last week.
Stone's "funny noises" may still be heard on the football field. In spite of the funny noises Stone is playing a good game.
It is reported that there will be a game on the home grounds Saturday between the "varsity" and the Topeka A. C. teams.
Heller will coach the University of Colorado team this year. His work begins Oct. 1st. The Courier wishes him success.
There will be a football team at Baldwin. A team composed of University men will play under the name of the Baldwin City Athletic club.
The Betas have already begun practice for the fraternity ball games next spring. The Betas with their soft rubber ball and board must be watched. Such expressions as "Cross him out Tomaine," "Two Ticks," and "toss the ball" are heard frequently on Tennessee street.
A College Tragedy.
The Betas recently ordered a barrel of sorghum, it arrived all right, but when Spellman attempted to draw some for supper, he found that there was not a spigot on the place and after getting one, to everybody's dismay it was discovered that no one knew how to tap it. A special meeting was held in which Bowker advised them to take the hoops off and Thomas recommended sawing the middle, when one thought of Billy Wynn. A special messenger was dispatched and soon returned, as Billy needed no persuasion.
Then the deed was done. Billy sized the spigot and Spellman's large cane and approached the receptacle of Beta juice stealthily looking the bung hole straight in the eve. Then with a cush William bounded forward, planted the spigot firmly on the bung and with a tremendous blow with the cane drove the spigot into the hilt and jumped back quickly to avoid the supposed effervescence.
The look of disgust on Mr. Wynn's face was intense as he asked in a low and husky voice. 'Is she empty?'
Thomas, who had concealed his eyes all this time with his hands, answered no, that it was full of sorghum.
A dull thud was heard and William Wynn had fainted.
