This ovont, together with tho fool ing of qwo inspired by tho sight of snow, accounts largely for tho scaroity of nows and tho wandorings of to day's lssuo. When the trembling reporter is ter rlflod by rumors of escapod prisoners, varying all tho way from three to two hundrod in numbor, ho cannot givo all his attention to the task bo foro him.

Tho attendance at drill yostorday was disappointingly small; whether this deplorable condition was duo to tho exigencies of tho weather, or to tho fact that many of tho embryo sol diers woro engaged In tracking the escaped convicts, wo cannot Bay. CALENDAR. A CLEVER TRICK? Wo note that tho Daily Kansan has rooontly boon using much space and enorgy trying to convlnco its roadors that thoy have a right to tho Missouri Valloy championship. Unfortunately, wo havo not tho tlmo and space to dovoto to such muttorings. Wo fool it nocossary, however, to tako sufficient spaco to contradict sev eral etatomonts which tho KanBan boob fit to make. In the first place, Coach Stlehm haa not refused to con sider any planB submitted by Coach Hamilton, but, on the othor hand, haB himself mado three aoparato and dis tinct proposals for a aeries and haa nr.p.nntnd Hamilton's nroDOBal of March 8, which mado no montlon of guaranteeing expenses. Tho lateness of tho Boason Is an Inevitable roault of Jayhawk dollberatoneas. This trick of apparent Indecision on Kansas' part 1b a clover one, but be comes apparent to tho moro discern ing. By parleying for tlmo they will forco Nebraska to rofuso tho Berlea, an action which can bo attributed to foar on tho part of tho CornhuBkerB. Wo trust, however, that prevailing opinion In tho valloy schools will glvo tho championship to tho team who has boaten ovory ono of Its opponents (aomo of them In four declalvo games), and In case Kansas forcos ub to tho extremity of waiting until sum mer, wo rest In tho security of public sentiment. Wo aro Bomowhat con Boled by tho news that ovon Kansas' own agricultural school rofuses to rocognlzo as champions a. team with whom thoy themselves havo divided honors. It 1b our slncorest wish that oro long wo may bo able to submit a proposition which will suit tho Jay hawkora, bo that our championship paay bo unquestionably established. WHAT NEXT? On November 25 we were robbed, by Mr. Hlnkoy, of a football game; early In Docomber wo fell Into tho grasp of a typhoid fovor epidemic; at tho end of tho Drat semester wo wero treated to a now system void of ex aminations? for tho past month wo havo boon burled undor six feet of snow, and now, with no means of OBcape, wo aro loft to tho mercy of escaped convicts.
