TO BEGIN MONDAY

FIRST SEMfeSTER OF SCHOOL OF
AGRICULTURE TO START.
Heavy Registration Expected Faclll
"ties Best Ever Improvements
' Are Numerous.
The School of Agriculture will begin
tho school year of 1900-1907 next Mon
day morning. Altho the exact number
of Biudonts to be enrolled In the school
cannot as yet be ascertained, It is
quite probable that there will be a
marked increase over last year's at
tendance, which was three hundred
and fifty."
A number of very substantial Im
provements have been made at the
Farm since thojcloso of last term.
Agricultural Hall, which was com
"plQtetl late in tho winter, has bpon fur
niBhod thruout, while tho Woman's
Building, .to .bo used by the department
,of Household Economics, avIH be ready
vsfor occupancy early next year. Jn ad
jtlition to these improvements, concreto
' walks have been laid between Agri
cultural Hall and tho Horticultural
Laboratory, and between many of tho
other buildings.
In itBt present condition tho Nebras
ka School ot Agriculture is one of tho
leading agricultural schools in the
IJnlted States, being superior to any
institution of its kind west of the Mis
souri river and a close competitor
with Cornell' for first place. Its keea-
est rival in the Mississippi valley is - j
tho Iowa State Agricultural School at
Ames, Iowa.
. The equipment .of the school, both
in -buildings and facuRyr ranks very
favorably with that of other agricul
tural colleges of this country. There
are la all, not Including tho farms and
oLhor smaller structures, seven build
ings: Dairy Laboratory, Experiment
Hall, Dairy Barn, Horticultural Labor
atory, Machinery Hall, Agricultural
Hall, and the Woman's Building. The
lust two buildings are the most mod

THE COUNTY fAIR
TO BE HELD IN THE ARMORY NO
VEMBER SEVENTEENTH.
Worthy Cause Tho Event of the
Year Unusual Number of
Attractions.
Tho fourth annual "County Fair"
will bo hold in tho Armory on' tho
evening of Saturday, November 17.
Tho affair is given by tho University
Young Women's Christian Association
and is under tho personal direction of
Miss Florence Parmeloo, '07. Tho pur
pose of the entertainment is two-fold.
It furnishes a social ovenlng for the
University that is without a parallel
thruout tho year and it permits a
"rake-off" that good InUrtho Y. W. C.
A. gonoral fund and is strictly leglti .
mate in consequence , .
The first "County Fair wob hold in
the fall of 1903 and was a thoro suc
cess. It was, of course, an experiment,
but under tho direction of Miss Elsie
Piper tho various novqlties produced
met inBtnnt favor and it was decided
to make tho fair an annual ovont. At
Iho fair of 1903 various worthies mado
(heir debut. Thero was Mother Gooso
in person as well as Carrie Nation.
Thero wore Gypsy fortune-tollers tjiat
left you trembling and minus a nickle. .,
There wore booths of all kinds and
each one left you poorer than you
wore beforo you had seon it.
In 1904 experience had taught Its
lessons and a decided improvement
was noticed. Tho management cleared
ovor $150 and those who attended ro
celved much more "thnintho worth of
their money. For tho first, last, and
only timo the famous "Rod Lynx," "u .
by-product of ono of South Omaha's
packing houses, was put on display
and rumor has it that a certain car
nivorous fraternity held an informal
banquet next day. .
Last year tho top notch was' at
tained. Tho crowd was immense, tho
fun fast and furious, tho booths the
best ever, and tho sido-shows way"
above par. Tho financial end was tho
usual success and showed that tho
students appreciate a good thing when
they see It.
This year, also, good things are In
store. A resume of attractions re
minds one of the Bijou, but the Y. .W.
C. A. puts 1(8 guarantee, of, quality on
oach and every novelty and- sorority
rusijfing parties will bo perfectly apro
pos.. Ther,o will be Japanese acrobats,
Spanish dancers, Katzenjammor Kids,
Dutch Girls, Indians, a "coonV show, a
vegetable garden, an A. D. T. messen
ger service, -and' last ".but not' leas, a"
baby show. You will want to "got
next" to that baby show when you
see It.
To cap the climax there is a wed
ding announced to take place. Tho
participants have not yet been made
public, .but a full description of tho
bride's 'trousseau may be had upon
application to .Miss Parmelee. Taking
'It as aiwholo, the fair will bo to a t
greater or. less extent a replica of tho
usual rural county fair except that all
tho unplo'asant features will be left
out. " ' .
