WAY WAKE A RATE
Possibility of a Ohoap Faro to Minnesota
for tho Baseball Game. Eight
Dollars tho Best Now
Offorod.
Negotiations with tho. railroads have
resulted In the promise of an $8 rate
to Minneapolis for tho two baseball
games that will bo played there ApTll
24 and 25. The rate can without doubt
bo secured from tho Burlington, tho
Northwestern and the Rick Island un
der certain conditions, and there Is
every reason to believe that If Inter
est Is taken In the matter, Manager
Shldler will be able to secure oven
better rates.
According to tho present arrange
mnet it will bo necessary to have a
party of 250 who will leave Lincoln
Thursday evening on a special train,
and arrive in Minneapolis Friday
morning. For the consideration of $2
extra, a special tourist sleeper may be
had for both trips, and also for use
whilo in Minneapolis. Tho train would
probably start on the return trip Sun
day afternoon. Tho team would not
bo on the special, as there aro games
to be played at Cedar Rapids on tho
22nd, and Peoria on tho 23rd.
After a hard-fought battlo last
spring, Minnesota defeated the Rhodes
family in the eleventh inning, by a
score of 7 to 8. They have defeated
Nebraska in football, debating and
basketball and it was in baseball that
tho two schools seemed most evenly
matched. Tho Nebraska team will be
much better this year than it was last.
Although by no means deficient in abil
ity then, a year's experience will be of
great value to practically tho same lino
up. There is every reason to believe
that If the team is well supported they
can defeat Minnesota this year, and
every person interested in the univer
sity and Its doings, should make it his
business to see that the boys are grant
ed that support Nothing will be of
greater advantage to the nine than to
have a few hundred supporters with
them, who, although they may not
correspond favorably in numbers with
the Minnesota supporters, will never
theless represent tho spirit and en
thusiasm of tho whole university.
PROFESSOR BRUNER TO RETURN
IN APRIL.
Word has again boon received from
Professor Bruner and his party who
are In Central America doing research
work. Tho party, the letter states, has
not been so successful in the matter of
collections as was expected owing to the
extremely dry weather which prevails
in that roglon at present. Vhe collec
tion of mammals has been given up
entirely and the members of the party
are now devoting their time to the col
lection of bugs.
Not only has condition of the weath
er Interfered with their woric but also
the "Pasado inanana." This expres
sion which the people of Costa Rica
alwayB use when asked to assist in
some undertaking. Ihe meaning con
veyed is tnat day after tomorrow they
will help. But invariably when "day
after tomorrow" comes around the man
who promised to bo at hand Is always
missing.
Professor Bruner and Mr. Cary will
leave Central America about the first
week In April in order that their re
turn may not be delayed by the quar
antine which Is placed after tho com
ing of the rainy season. Mr. Carriker
and a man from Illinois, tho other
members of the party, will remain in
Costa Rica Indefinitely to complete the
work which it was found impossible to
do In tho short time which tho party
remained and under the unfavorable
conditions which at present exist The
collection, which has been made thus
far is very Interesting, comprising
some rare specimens, though on the
whole it is not so largo or varied as
was desired.

A GROWING NEED
Intonsivo Panning OroateB a Groator De
mand for Agricultural Uourses,
Doolaros Profossor
Smith.
Professor H. R Smith spoke at con
vocation yesterday morning on agri
cultural education. Ills remarks were
made with reference to the fact that
the last legislature of Nebraska passed
a law requiring that all applicants for
a third grade certificate must pass an
examination in the elements of agrl
cultlire The history of agricultural schools,
said Professor Smith, begins with 1800,
when a school was founded In Don
mark which afforded tuition, board and
clothing for tho student. A capable In
structor waB procured and given sever
al years' travel that he might prepare
for his work. When the school was
opened one student applied for admis
sion, and so the project was given up,
not to be revived again till 1840.
In tho United States tho first agricul
tural school was opened in Michigan In
1855. It had a difficult time and it
has not been until late years that it
and other colleges of Its kind havo had
a very large attendance. Professor
Smith gave as reasons for this that
until the last few years there has been
no science of agriculture; that In for
mer times the soil was good and the
people were sceptical and did not con
sider it practical to send their boys
to these schools. At tho present time
most of tho land is occupied, some of
it worn out, and intensive methods of
agriculture must be resorted to.
The fertility of western land must bo
maintained. For this reason, said
Professor Smith, elementary agricul
ture should be introduced in the com
mon schools. This should be done by
means of nature study In the lower
grades; leading up to agriculture In
the eighth grade. Such instruction
would tend to stay the movement of
country people to the city, because
It would interest them in scientific
agriculture undjead them to send their
sons to agricultural instead of profes
sional colleges.
Professor Smith said that agriculture
would be taught next year In one of
tho high schools of this state. Tho
subject matter presented will have to
bo slowly developed and gradually put
Into proper shape until finally a prac
tical presentation of tho subject for
common schools w..l be reached.
It was announced last night that
hereafter dress parade will be held on
Wednesdays and regular company and
battalion drill on Fridays.
TOPEKA GAME TOMORROW.
Tho basketball team has boon put
ting in Its host licks nt practice this
week In preparation for tho TopeRa, Y.
M. V. A. game tomorrow night. Tho
men are now In prime shnpo and will
put up a hard light with the Kansnns
for tho game. They nre determined In
the only game played this season on
tho homo floor to mako a record, to be
proud of, and one which will retrieve
tljelr former defeat. The cool weather
tno last few days has added vim to tho
work. 9 W
Owing to a lack of good teams In
the vicinity of Lincoln to help bear tho
burden of bringing a flvo from a .dis
tance Captain Koehler's men have been
forced into the background as far as
local games are concerned. Tho Min
nesota and tho Haskell games had to
be given up because arrangements
could not bo made with tho city Y. M.
C. A., and tho athletic board did not
feel like shouldering the burden of
expense nlono.
The Topeka team will arrlvo some
time today and tonight will meet tho
city association team at the auditori
um. They will be tne guests of the
city association.
LAW STUDENTS TO PLAY BALL.
The Junior class met yesterday after
noon to take up the question of a class
baseball team. In as much as lawyers
are generally known to be enthusiastic
lovers of this sport, tho juniors deemed
it their duty to take immediate stops
to perpetuate this traditional charac
teristic of their profession. Yester
day's meeting was, therefore, a vory
enthusiastic and spirited one. It was
decided to ajtpolnt a committee whose
duty it should be to see that all tho
members of the class report for base
ball practice on tho field. The commit
tee Is also to schedule games with such
Institutions as it deems best.
Among tho embryo lawyers may bo
found an excellent lot of good material
for a winning nine. Under the care
ful coaching of that veteran player of
tho 'varsity team, Mr. Reeder, it 1b ex
pected that a team wlU soon be made
which bids fair to rival Captain Bell's
colts. The first game will doubtless be
played with the brother lawyers of the
senior class, though these have not yet
taken any stops to place a team In tho
field. As has been done heretofore,
games will bo played with tho various
institutions In and about Lincoln.
Phi Kappa Psl fraternity will hold
its annual banquet next Saturday night
at the chapter house. 1605 K street.

present to do business. There should

committee have arranged to entertain
the men for a part of the evening after
the business meeting.
