PROSPECTS FOR ST. LOUIS
CADETS OREATLY AC3ITATED OVER
THE PROJECT,
Varulty RllloN Will Probably UeproBont

tornatlonal Drill Sxponno tho Only
Obataolo,
Tho ondot bnttallion is juhI now
vory oxcitod about tho piclcod
company which is to go to 81.
LouiB, .1 uly 1st to 7th. Whilo tho
battalion Imb roally not anything
to do with it, yot tho Varsity
ItiiloB will recruit thoir ranks from
tho cadotB, as it is this organiz
ation which is planning tho trip.
Ab far as good will goos, ovoryono
is in favor of going, but tho fact
that tho oxpGiibOB of oaoh individ
ual will amount to $'10, throws a
wot blankot ovor a good doal of
onthusiasm which would othor
wiso bo mauifoBtod.
Thoso most favoring tho projoot
havo boon watching with bated
broath tho outcomo of various ar
guinonta and plans which havo
boon triod. Monday ovoning tho
adjutant road oil a list of about
100 namos of tho boat drilled mon
in tho battallion. From thoso,
which includod iuobI of tho Vars
ity RiiloB mon, it was oxpoctcd ta
recruit a company of fifty mon.
Thirty-six of thoso oxprossed a
willingnoss to go into thoir pockets
to tho propor oxtont, but sonio
afterwards dropped out. Wednes
day ovoning tho samo plau was
triod and a list of forty, which in
cludes a fow doubtful onos, is now
in tho hands of tho Commandant.
This is not onough. It will tako
iif ty mon at least to start out with,
as tho specifications roquiro forty
mon, at loast. An invitation has
now boon oxtondod to ovory mom
bor or ox-mombor of tho battal
ion, to join tho proposod crack
company.
This ovoning tho mattor will bo
talked up at formation, and Mon
day ovoning it will bo known for
cortain whether tho University of
Nobraska is to bo reprcsontod at
the inter-national drill at St.
Louis.
If it is decided to go tho Liou
tonant will drill tho mon two
hours a day tho rost of this month
and throe hours or more during
tho month of Juno. A strong ar
gument in favor of going is tho
manner in which Lieutenant Por
Bhing has voluntoorod his services
as drill master. Ho has oxprossod
himsolf strongly in favor of tho
movement, if it can bo done, and
and says ho is willing to work
night and day to help tho boys
out. Untold benefits, ho says,
will be gained by ovory porson
who goos into preparation for tho
drill which would havo to bo put
up. Even if tho prize is not won
ho thinks that no one would actu
ally bo a loser by drilling for
such a contest.
Tho oxponsos, which havo boon
carofully ligurod, when oxaminod
in tho propor light, do not sooin
so appalling. Each individual
will havo to havo a now dross uni
form costing about tweniy dol
lars. This would bo tho regularly
adoplod uniform of tho Varsity
ltiflos, and any ono not caring to
drill furthor with thorn could soil
it for almost as much as ho paid
for it Tho trousorfl of courso
could bo worn at any titno, as thoy
would bo tho samo as now worn
by all cadotB. Cost of board
whilo in camp is vory small, and
tho railroad faro would bo greatly
roducod, probably to loss than
ono faro. This makes tho cost
practically only for railroad faro,
and as nearly ovory ono takos a
trip of sonio sort during tho sum
mor, it is not looked upon as so
largo aftor all.
Tho Exhibit Saturday Evening.
To tho uuinitiatod tho onginoor
iug building has prosoutcd for tho
last two wooks a strango appoar
anco. Tho boys havo apparently
boon working on all sorts of
schomoB and building all sorts of
apparatus. Any obsorver notic
ing tho porspiration gathered in
big drops upon thoir forchoado
would soo that thoy woro not
moroly tinkering for tho lack of
something bottor to do. Whon
mon work as thoy havo boon work
ing good results must como and
thoso that visit tho enginoors' ox
hibit to-morrow ovoning will tes
tify to that fact. Ordor is now
appearing out of tho chaos that
has roigned about that dopartmont
for the last four weeks, and tho
exhibit as it is now arrangod may
bo brioily outlined as follows:
Tho oloctric welding division
will havo two water pail forgos in
operation in the forgo room, two
oloctrio furnacos, two oloctric
woldorB (using tho Thompson

Tho oloctroplating division will

west corner of tho oloctrical lab
oratory, baths for gold, silver,
coppor, and nickel plating. Thoy

oloctrio current.
Tho tolophono division, though
thoy havo boon unfortunate in not
rocoiving apparatus appliod for,
will exhibit tho principles govern
ing tho oporation of tho tolophono.
Tho prinoiplo of tho induction
coil will bo shown in a way that
can bo folt by all interested.
Tho oxhibil will bo opon to vis

ho had finished a pago ho would
toar it oir and hand it to tho noxt

on. This plan was carried out
until tho shoots began to arrivo

fame. Ho became so intontly in
torostod in tho highly probablo
exploits of tho rodoubtablo Nick
that ho forgot to tako out his
pitch-pipo and soo how Hat tho

lory, aftor tho play was ovor, for
'tho last shoot of this interesting
uarrativo.
