INDIAN RELICS RECEIVED.
Grinding Stones From Arizona Donated to Museum.
Robert Jordon of Light, Cohese county, Ariz., a brother of Warren Jordon, junior in the College, shipped two old Indian grinding stones to the University last week. These stones were found in the Sulphur Springs Valley, which was a camping place for the Apache Indians when Geronimo, the noted Indian outlaw, was chief of the Apache band. They are called metates, and are each about two feet long, and eighteen inches wide, and weigh about fifty pounds. Each has a groove about six inches deep running the entire ength.
The Indians used them for grinding corn meal. Mr. ohnson's gift is the only specimens of the kind in the University. H. T. Martin, assistant curator in paleontology and anthropology,is particularly anxious to get old reliess of this kind.
The University company of the K. N. G., commanded by Capt. Shifler, and the Lawrence city company, commanded by Capt. Clark, will fight a sham battle sometime in March or April, at some place near Lawrence.

There he will speak before the annual meeting of the department of superintendents of the National Educational association. His subject will be "Cooperative Research in the Field of Education." He will be gone eight days.
All sorts of infantry maneuvers will be executed. Preparations are now being made for the battle. About sixty men will participate on each side.
To Speak to Educators.
KANSAS DEFEATED TIGERS LAST NIGHT, 32 TO 16.
PUT MISSOURI OUT OF THE RUNNING
Roughness Characterized the Game and Two Tigers Were Put Out—Beaten at K. C.
The Kansas five put the Missouri basket-ball team out of the contest for the championship of the Missouri Valley Conference, by defeating them last night in Rothwell gymnasium at Columbia by a score of 32 to 16. The only school that now stands in the way of Kansas to the fourth consecutive championship is Nebraska and Coach Hamilton's men expect to be able to win at least one of the games there. If they do they will have gained undisputed right to the first place in the conference.
Extreme roughness was the feature of last night's game, Referee Luring being forced to call 17 fouls on the Missouri men for their rough tactics. Two of the best men the Missourians have were compelled to retire from the contest on account of the personal foul limit. They were Purkhiser and Captain Cohen. The frequent fouling by the Missouri men left them no chance to win, for they were generally made good by "Shorty" Long, who tossed 10 out of the 17 free throws.
Kansas took the lead at the start and maintained it throughout the contest, the nearest that Missouri come to tying the score being in the second half when the count stood 16 to 14. Stuckey was the scorer for the local squad,making six field goals. Burress did the best work for Missouri

Lost to K.C.A.C.
Kansas was defeated on Thursday night by the strong K. C. A. C. team by the score of 41 to 40. Porter Craig tossed a basket from the center of the court in the last half minute of play. Up to this point Hamilton's men lead by a one-point lead and only the lucky shot of the Blue Diamond forward wrested the victory from the local squad. At the end of the forty-minute session the count was 37 to 37, and it was either team's
game. Three free throws on fouls gave K. U. a lead which was expected to win, but the goal goals of Goldman and Craig meted out to Kansas their second defeat on the season.
The feature of the game was the free throwing of Long, who put the ball into the basket twenty-two times out of twenty-seven trials.
TO TOUR EUROPE.
University Students Will Take Sight Seeing Trip.
A party composed of twelve young women from the University of Kansas and from some of the high schools of Eastern Kansas is planning a three-months' tour of Europe this summer. They will be in London during the coronation ceremonies. Prof. Allen A. Seipt, of the German department, and Mrs. Seipt, who will personally conduct the party, are both experienced travelers, having spent over a year abroad.
After crossing the channel the young women will visit Holland, The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
The tourists will leave Lawrence early in June and will sail from New York for London. Here after resting from the ocean voyage and witnessing the festivities of the coronation of King George, they will see al the chief places of interest in London. A tour of England will follow including among other places Shakespeare's home at Stratford-on-Avon, Oxford University, and probably the lake region.
Thence their route will lead through northern Germany to Berlin and will include stops at Hildesheim, a town which is proud of its quaint and antique buildings, many of which are 500 years old,at Brunswick and Hamburg. An excursion by boat down the Rhine will be a feature of the trip. From South Germany, the girls will proceed indirectly to the Tyrol and Switzerland. Enroute, Leipsic with its university, Dresden with its art galleries, Nuremberg and Munich will afford both pleasure and instruction. Bern, Interlacken and Lako Lucerne will also be seen.
The itinerary will be concluded by a tour of France and a week in Paris. The party will then take ship from a French port for home, and will arrive in time for the opening of school.
The final arrangements for the personnel of the party have been left to Professor Seipt.
A piano recital will be given in the University chapel this evening by Harold Henry, the noted young musician, who was graduated from the University in 1901

Prof. E. B. Titchener, who gave the lectures on psychology Thursday and Friday, left this morning for Iowa City. There he will speak at the State University of Iowa. From there he will go to the University of Illinois at Champaign.
FIRE DESTROYED THE OPERA HOUSE
LAWRENCE JOURNAL A TO
TAL LOSS.
Loss of $50,000. Caused by Destruction of Building and Contents This Afternoon.
Fire this afternoon destroyed the Bowersock opera house and the plant of the Lawrence Daily Journal, the law office of Judge George J. Barker, and a second hand store, which occupied other parts of the building.
The fire started under the stage possibly from a short circuit wire. The first alarm was turned in at 1:45, but the department was unable to check the flames. Within thirty minutes the fire had swept throughout the building, and everything in it was a complete loss. Only a few records from the business counter of the Daily Journal were saved.
The Lawrence Journal is edited by State Senator J. L. Brady. It is one of the oldest newspapers in Kansas, having been established over fifty years ago, during the free state struggles.
The loss from the fire will approximate $50,000.
