ASSOCIATION IN TROUBLE.
The state oratorical association,
under whoso auspices the contest
will bo hold, is not in n very let
tering condition financially. The
association was brought into a
suit of litigation for money due
tho orator of '93 for his expenses
I, incurred in attending tho inter
state contest of tho same year, and
judgment was rendered in Justice
Spencer's court in favor of tho
plaintiff for $41 and costs, May
9, 1894.
The association having thus far
neglected to pay tho debt, the
plaintiffs of tho case have issued
a garnishment on tho door receipts
of tho contest to bo hold this even
ing at tho Funko. The writ of
garnishment is issued against
Frank Zehrung, mauagor of the
Funke, and R. Kent Beattio, Fred
Loavitt, Bert Forbes, and Jas. E.
Carter, executive board of tho as
sociation. It is to bo hoped that this mat
ter may bo amicably arranged so
that tho winning orator of this
year will not be hampered for
want of funds to defray his ex
penses to the interstate contest.

book on art and science of war
was held Wednesday.
Extended order drill begins this
week, There will bo several sham
battles fought around town before
tho end of the year.
Tho 'Varsity Rifles expect to

out of drill hours.
Tboclass in military engineer
ing will have a chance to put their
theories' into practice at camp this
spring. Building bridges and
fortifications and digging mines
will take up part of tho time.
Tho Lincoln Light Infantry has
accepted a challengo from tho
'Varsity Rifles for a competitive
drill, to tnko placo on the campus
within five weeks. There will bo
army officers for judges, probably.
Tho Lincoln Light Infantry puts
up a very pretty drill, but there
aro doubts about some of their
interpretations of tactics. After
this drill thoro will be an individ

Thoro is probably nothing in
the minds of tho college people
that is occupying ns much atten
tion ns the coming out of tho U.
of N. Dramatic club at the Funko.
Tho fact that tho sixteen members
of tho club aro out selling their
tickets with a rush, that there aro
at least ton theatre parties that
are lighting for tho bestsents, and
last, but not least, that there will
be box parties that will eclipse
those at the Gloo club concert last
year, is certainly enough to arouse
tho onthusinsm of nil tho students
hero. The Chancellor has taken
n great deal of interest in the club
and has shown them every sort of
kindness, nnd tho anxiety of the
friends of the club is only equalled
by the members themselves.
From the first organization of a
dramatic club in tho Uni., three
years ago, it has boon one of the
most popular clubs in tho college
and this year, under tho able
directorship of Mrs. Manning,
tho club has broadened and im
proved until a public performance
was tho only thing that would
sntisfv its friends.
Last month as everyone knows,
tho club had a very successful
performance at Ashland. Thoyi

Ono of the students on being

tho botanical laboratory, the num
ber of studonts taking work, ect..
said:
"There are eighty-two students
who havo work in the laboratory.
There are only thirty-five micro

There is hardly a moment in
tho day from eight o'clock in the
morning until six at night, when
some one is not thoro, nnd usually
there are quite a number.
There aro practically no rules
for conduct in tho laboratory.
Each one is oxpected to nttend
strictly to his own business.
The freshman class is now
working on mildews, blights, and
rusts. These nro studied mostly
from alcoholic specimens.
Ono of the assistants has just
