STILL INCREASING Temple Fund Growing DailyFrom Fresh Contributions. The committee on the Temple Fund teport most encouraging progress, and confidently state that, the completion of the work Is but a matter of a short time. In spite of the attempts that have been made to Impede their work and to prejudice the people of the state against contributing, they have been unremitting in their efforts. Of .late a great degree of Interest has been manifested and some liberal contilbu tjons received, bringing the total up to within only a short distance of the desired amount. The students are taking hold ener getically and the people of Lincoln are helping substantially. At no time has the worlc been on a more encouraging footing; In spite of the Infamous methods employed by the partisan pa pers of the state to cast discredit upon the undertaking. The abnormal activ ity of these papers has been followed by an Increased interest In the fund as evidenced by the large number of pledges and contributions made recent ly, which is a good illustration of cause and effect. We are within $5,000 of having a building that will grace our campus, provide quarters for our social and religious organizations and relieve the strain upon overtaxed departments, and it is not likely that the task of raising the remaining few thousands will cut us off from the consummation of this desirable end. A number of notable contributions have been made within tne past week. The generous contribution of Alexan der Berger of $1,000, has been com mented upon and Is greatly appreci ated. Wednesday the Woman's club of Lincoln pledged $500. The meeting was addressed by Chancellor Andrews. This action of the Woman's club was entirely, voluntary, and they are to be commended for the spirit they hae shown in contributing to a cause with which so many deserving interests are Identified. The Dramatic club had pledged $500, and in connection with their actions two other Individual pledges were made aggregating $70. The band Is making preparation to give a concert in the Oliver theatre to redeem their pledge. Such jcontrlbu tlons as these to the good cause cer tainly do not indicate that Unlverhlty people are at all disturbed by the dally array of yellowness appearing In the columns of partisan papers. Contrary to the views of many peo ple the Temple will not be devoted to religious purposes alone, although the two .Christian bodies will receive am ple" accommodations. If such a pre text had been used additional largo Bums could have been raised. But all who have com.lWUtod have done so with the understanding that every phase of college and town life will be represented. The city of Lincoln will ' be drawn into closer relation with the University much closer than ever be fore. One very encouraging incident was the receipt by one of the committee of a complimentary letter from Willis Warner, '01, who is now employed by the Republic Iron & Steel Works, of Youngatowu, wOhlo. Mr. Warner en closed25 in his letter, besides express ing his Interest In the work and good wishes for the success of the undertak ing. Many of the alumni have been sending lnof their own accord for pledge cards and have been working vigorously for the building which will affect every alumnus upon his return. The work of raising the "remaining amount will be pushed, forward, and those Interested Mn promoting the cause of the fund will not vest until their purpose Is achieved.

During the past few days some re markably fine material has been re ceived from the club women in vari ous towns of the state for the educa tional exhibit at the world's fair. A splendid largo oil painting by Miss Cleaver of Falls City has been received and it is of Buch merit that it would do credit to any gallery. This painting Is the property of the Chicago Art In stitute, and was loaned to be exhibited by club women during the fair and to be returned afterwards. Miss Cleav r is now an art student in Philadelphia. Ex-Chancellor Canfield of Calumbla bla Unlveisity is intending to forward a fine oil painting or Mrs. Canfield. done by one of the best ait lata In New York.

Captain Chase has received a letter from the St. Louis exposition authori ties stating that a space has' been re served In JJielr barracks far 10(TcadEt8 from this University. The letter is as folio wb: "Captain Wilson Chase. U. S. A., Ccmmandent of Cadets, University of Nebraska. "Dear Sir: 1 have made tho reserva tion for 100 cadets from your univer sity In the barracks commencing on Juno G and ending June 10. The as signment will come the week before the departure of the West Point ca dets, who will bo quartered in tho barracks next year. Very truly yours, "E. C. CULP. "Sec. Committee on Ceremonies." It is significant of the way in which our battalion Is generally re garded that such advantageous ar rangements should -be made for their entertainment at the fair. A better op portunity for comparison of its disci pline and instruction could not bo fur nished than is Indicated In the above communication. Captain Chase again urges all men who Intend t,aklng ad vantage of the encampment to see him at once. Lincoln Transfer Co. Baggage k Phone, 176. Lincoln Local Express, lltk and N. Tel. 787.

M. C. A., al thought somewhat fearful that greater age and experience of the Christians will be a heavy handicap against them. Interest In the club is increasing. Games with Lincoln, Omaha and York high school foot ball teams am being sought, as the Academy fellows believe they can give them a hard con test. One thing is certain, the Acad emy Is afraid of nothing In the shape of a Nebraska high school team. It Is certainly a good commentary on the honesty of Nebraska young men and women that dlsplte the fact many ask for tlmo on their tuition bills not $20 haB been lost Lhough bad bills. Wo doubt whether many private schools can make as good a showing. A very cordial letter of thanks has been received from the school board of Harvard for the loan of three micro scopes made them. Miss Edith Lathrop, who taught botany last year In the Academy, and who Is now principal of the Harvard high school, asked for this loan In order to make a success of her large class there and tho Acad emy is pleased to grant the favor. A very gratifyln registration jf new students from Lincoln and out In tho state-has taken place. The most favorable aspect In this year's history is the steady gain of those taking full work. Despite tho fact that compar atively no effort has been made fo se cure Lincoln students, they are coming and coming for their entire prepara tory schooling. The hearty and volun tary recommendations of a few sat isfied families is responsible for this Increase. To meet the needs of these incoming students more than the usnal -beginning-classes wero organized. - The Non-Com Hop. A committee has been appointed to arrange the annual Non-Commlssioned. OfllcerB' Hop, which will be held in Fraternity hall the llth of next month. Eddie Walt's orchestra will furnish the music. The committee 1b composed of the following: R. H. White, chairman. M. B. Case, master of ceremonies. M. C. Dorlngton. F. S. Anderson. .C H. Bryan. W. C. Ramsey. Delians Elect Basketball Captain . At tho last meeting of the Dellan Literary society Frank Beers was elected captain of the men's basket hall squad. The girls also started a movement along the same line. Tho members of the society attended the basket ball 'game last Friday even ing instead of having their regular 'program. Tho WhitdbreaBt Co.. at HOC O St.. 1b the place to buy coal. TOPLAYWESLEYAN Basketball Team to Meet Wes- leyan Tomorrow Night. The basket ball team Is to play Wes leyan at University Place next Thurs day evening, and there are prospects for a contest with the Omaha High School team for the next owning. This will probably be the last practice game before beginning the Intercolleg iate series. Tho cIbbs games will begin In a dual meet next weelt. when tho Seniors will play the Freshmen nnd the Sophomores and Juniors will try to put each other out of the race for the championship. At present the Seniors seem to have tho advantage, all their men being on the second team, while the Freshmen and Sophomores are quite evenly matched, each having two second team men. Tho Intercollegiate baHket ball Boa Bon has been open several weeks In the east, where Columbia holds first place, with Yale, Pennsylvania and Cornell tied for Becond honors. It Is to be regretted that the trnns-Ml8sl3-sippi universities do not have some championship contests, instead of' all the principal teams playing games in the east or west and then each one claiming the western championship. A city paper last evening-announced that both Bonder and Wilson were re solved to come back to Nebraska next year. This will relieve the fears of those who doubted our ability to play five hard games such as Minnesota, Il linois, Iowa, Knox and Haskell will be, and not lose most of them. Even with these two stars, howover, tho schedule seems quite heavy, and there are jnony who claim that the manage ment has made a grave mlstako in counting financial success all and giv ing the team Itself secondary consid eration. One lesson has been taught former Nebraska managers and tliat Is that Nebraska will not support a losing team. Tho "Dally Iowan" says that Kansas has asked for a game with Iowa, but that It can not be granted. Poor Kan sas, It is gradually becoming lesB solic itous about our empty (?) schedule, and is directing some of her attention to her own, now deprived of her moBt profitable game. Cage practice has begun in baseball but there can be but little real work until the weather permits outdoor practice. Among tho men to reeis- ler this semester Is Morse, last year's substitute pitcher, whose work was quite creditable; Adams, who ranked well among the amatuer pitchers of thestato last summer, and Miller, who caught for the StocK Yard Juniors of South Omaha.
