"BILLY'S IS NO MORE.
Oread Cafe Will Soon Seek New Location.
"Billy's," otherwise known as the "Dog House," will soon be a thing of the past. Mr. J. B. Watkins owns the property upon which this well known cafe is situated, he has decided to grade his property in such a way as to necessitate the removal of "Billy's." The proprietor, Mrs Beatty, has been notified to leave in thirty days.
This establishment has been in existence for eleven years and during that time has been known as the students eating place. W.S. Hall first constructed the building out of dry goods boxes, and it was from Mr. Reynolds that the restaurant derived its name of "Billy's."
Mrs. Beatty is endeavoring to secure another site close to the campus and hopes to have another eating place for campus strollers by spring time.

HARRY G. LARIMER SPOKE
Addressed Members of the Goo Gov't Club Last Night.
Harry G. Larimer, a prominent attorney of Topeka, addressed the members of the Good Government Club last evening at the Phi Delta Phi house.

In his discourse he discussed some of the faults of our present day public school system.
Immediately after his speech the members of the club were engaged in a lively political set-to when it was suggested that a straw vote be taken in regard to the approaching senatorial contest between Senator Charles Curtis and Governor W. R. Stubbs. The vote showed that Mr. Curtis was the favorite.
JOHNSON STILL IMPROVING
Dr. Sudler Says Spirits And Health Are Returning.
Favorable reports in regard to the condition of Tommy Johnson continue to come from the University Hospital at Rosedale where he is confined. Tommy has improved so much since he has been taken to the hospital that the operation, which at first was thought to be necessary, has been indefinitely postponed. Dr Sudler, who has charge of the case, said the other day. "Tommy's health and good spirits seem to be gradually returning. He has gained between four and five pounds in the last week and this we consider to be very favorable."

Briggs, H. W. Josselyn and Prof. D. L. Patterson. A sterling and H. W. Josselyn were the scorers, while Prof. Sterling, though he lost his match, broke the Leavenworth record for eighteen holes, playing them in 90. The visitors were entertained royally by the army officers and enjoyed an extremely pleasant day. A return game will be played with the Leavenworth team either the Friday before Thanksgiving or the Saturday following.
Wet roads did not appeal to the girls with thin soiled shoes this morning so the expected cross country walk did not materialize. The walk has been postponed indefinitely or until the weather is good.

SCHOOL MA'MS WILL HAVE A LABORATORY
ACQUAINT SENIORS WITH WORK
WILL
High Shool Text Books And Methods to be Studied— Samples Have Arrived
Prof. C. H. Johnston, dean of the School of Education, will fit up a room to be used as a laboratory of the school methods as soon as he can get possession of the additional rooms assigned to the school since the opening of the new administration building. The room that probably will be used is room 118. Fraser.
The laboratory will be completely equipped with a library of high school text books, features of the different high school systems in the state, and an educational psychology laboratory. The library will be used principally in connection with the Oread high school and will give to students desiring to teach, an opportunity to become acquainted with the standard texts issued by the different book companies of the country.
The features of the different high school systems will be samples of school work done in the various school systems of the state. Each high school has been asked to send in reports concerning their methods of teaching and administration. The reports of the unique features or any other points on which the school thinks its system is especially good are the ones that are most desired.
This will serve to advertise the school and will give the school boards or superintendents a place where they can readily and easily study the methods of the other systems with a view of improving their own school. The material is already rapidly coming in and will be arranged as soon as the necessary increase in room space is obtained.
Prof. Reed, Harvard '07, Will Teach English.

When Drake was here Saturday Mr. Hamilton and the Drake manager went over a possible course for the meet and the Iowa man was so favorably impressed with the ground that he said he would vote for Kansas as the location for the race. Dr. Clapp, of Nebraska, is strongly in favor of the proposition of holding the cross-country run here the day of the Cornhusker game. Manager Hamilton has submitted his invitation and he believes that the run will be in Lawrence.
The schools who will have representatives in the first Conference run are Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Drake, Ames, Washington and Iowa. The Kansas runners have been working out regularly and will be prepared to make a strong fight.
