The soloists with the orchestra include Mrs. Tewksbury, soprano, who was here last year; Miss Genevieve Wheat, contralto, who was heard in concert here two years ago; and Mr. Charles Hargreaves, tenor. These three soloists are Chicago concert singers and have been doing solo work for several years. Marcus Kellerman, of the Berlin Opera company, will appear as the bass soloist.

LOST ONE GAME TO CORNHUSKERS
KANSAS DEFEATED BY
SCORE OF 38 TO 26.
"Shorty" Long the K. U. Star— Championship Is Not Yet Lost.
In a fast game of basket-ball that was interesting from the start, the Jayhawkers dropped their second game of the conference schedule to the Cornhusker five last night by the score of 38 to 26. Kansas led in the scoring during the first half of the contest and the count at the end of the first session was 15 to 14. However, the Cornhusker men came back strong in the second half and Hamilton's men weakened, with the result that the Nebraska team romped away with the contest by a large lead.
Gibson, the tall Nebraska forward, led in the scoring for the winning aggregation, with six field goals and "Shorty" Long starred for Kansas, tossing three field goals and making twelve successful free throws.
The result of this game does not give the Missouri Valley conference championship to Nebraska and in case the game tonight is also lost the Jayhawkers still have the premier honors of the valley. The championship in basket-ball is determined by the number of games that each school wins and loses. Nebraska has lost five Missouri four, while Kansas can possibly lose only three games in the conference.
COTNER TOOK A GAME.
Kansas Five Defeated Thursday 35 to 26.
The basket-ball game with Cotner University on Thursday night at Lincoln resulted in a defeat for the Kansas five by the score of 35 to 26. The Cotner men went into the game to win and the only chance at victory that the Jayhawkers had in the entire contest was in the second half when the score was tied. However, the Cotnerites quickly annexed several field goals and finished with a big lead. The star work of the game was done by Siddons, who led the game by tossing ten field goals from difficult angles of the court.
The scarlet fever quarantine card was removed from Prof. H. P. Cady's house this week.

'JOHN AND OTHER JOHNS.
A Unique Subject Well Treated in Chapel.
"John and other Johns" was the unique title of the address given in chapel yesterday by Judge Winfield Freeman of Kansas City, Kan.,in which he rapidly sketched the accomplishments of many men named John from John the Evangelist down to John Sherman the Ohio statesman. To the author of the Revelation he gave high praise for producing a book which, though not fully understood by men had done much to lift them above self.
With a keen sympathy for the limitations of the men and the obstacles they overcome, Judge Freeman spoke of the work of John Bunyan and John Wesley. John the Baptist, John Calvin. John Milton and John Adams were also mentioned as John-men who have influenced the world for good.
"But more numerous than all the others is John Chinaman," said Judge Freeman, "for he is 450,000,000 strong, and is moving as a mighty avalanche in the affairs of Asia. He is the strongest man, physically and mentally in the Orient." Judge Freeman prophesied that within fifty years China will overrun India and Persia and within 100 years would extend her domain to the Mediterranean. He considered that the division of languages in the empire was the only thing which had held it back thus far.

WHO HELD UP TWO SIGMA CHIS?
MASKED MEN TOOK ROSCOE WARD'S GOLD WATCH.
Officers Believe It Was a Student Prank and Say They Will Arrest Offenders.
Two masked men met Roscoe Ward and Ted Relihan, University students, as they were walking through South park to their rooms at the Sigma Chi house, about 10:30 o'clock last night.
“Put up hands,” remarked one of the masked men in a decisive tone, at the same time grasping Ward by the shoulder, and pointing a gun in his direction. The other masked man grasped Ward's other shoulder.
Relihan made a break and ran for safety and the Sigma Chi house. Ward was left alone with the two masked men, who took his gold watch and all the money they could find, about sixty cents.
"Now beat, it," said the man behind the gun, and in a few seconds Ward was in the Sigma Chi house telling the man at police headquarters what had happened. Officer Dailey and Deputy Sheriff Ebb Woods went to the park with Ward and Relihan, but no trace of the two men was found. Sheriff Woods said today that he knew who the hold-up men were. He said that warrants would be issued from the county attorney's office tonight for two students, who probably regarded the hold-up as a clever "stunt." "If it was a fake hold-up, I didn't see any indication of that fact," said Ward today. "My gold watch hasn't come back, nor my sixty cents. It was a real gun, too."
Sheriff Woods said that arrests would be made in the case Monday morning.
