Sunday morning about 1 n'elook
tho people of Lincoln woro unduly
awakened by tho loud reports of rifles,
at first all noar together and gradual
ly scattering until tho town sooniod

as was the famous light brigade. Sat

viiteraus, as thoy lay dreaming of tho

ablo to keep In doors, however, consid

scending In torrents, but many ques
tions were asked later In the day
about the unusual occurrence. The
explanation was easy. It was merely
a way tln university cadots had of
announcing to the people of Lincoln
that camp at Nebraska City had boon
broken and tho batalllon was back In
town.
After considerable correspondence
and figuring It was determlnod last
f week to hold the annual enoampmont
of the university cadet batalllon at
N'obraika City this year, lt Is not
mado compulsory for the boys to at
tend these annual encampments, but
this year every one that could possi

so and Wednesday afternoon at i!:l5
o'clock tho M. & M. passenger pulled
out with four conch loads of soldiers,
over half of tho batalllon.

POLITICAL ECOJOMY CLUB
0L08E YEAR WITH A DEBATE
Crowd Union Hnll- DIhouhs the Ad visa-
blllty of Hllvor ni 10 to 1-
thoHpo.ikois,
Tho Political Kcononiy ottib held Its
last mooting for the year lstin-il In
Union hall last Wednesday evening.
Hofcro announcing tho subject for tho
evening, Preslduit Searson called up
on Professor Taylor for u short ad
dross on Political Rcxinomy ami tho
Political ICconniny club. The profen
sor stated tho purpose of tho club and
then made u few vor Interesting re
marks on the study. Ho showed tho
I t HI I Ik Kdklll t liiti nt It r. .llti .1 . t -. 1.
beiiellrlal to tin community. In de-
lining Political ISeofiomy, Professor
Taylor said that It was "tho study of
those general norms which effect so
ciety." These rules are reduced, from
the Investigation of fcoulal customs,
and considerations of (hat uort should
bo studied by every cUlzen. It is Im
portant to every peraort that the forces
of nature should bo generally under
stood. Wo should study general forces
and other workings, and that moans
wo should distinguish between fnct
and fallacy. We must preserve the
facts and refute fallacies. It Is the
aim of the study to teach a general
law and afterward the appreciation
of that law.
As the chemical dopartmont teaches
the laws of crystallography, the Po
litical Kcononiy department tenches
the laws of society. Hut the latter Is
more dllllcult than the former, for tho
economist cannot experiment with so
ciety as the chemist can with his ma
terial substances.
The common belief that the study
of Political Kcononiy had something
directly to do with tho making of
money was also touched upon by the
professor. In speaking on this point
It was granted that a knowledge of
the study would assist In the making
of money and the accumulation of
wealth, but It does not lay down any
formula for so doing, t simply gives
a person a knowledge of the general
courses of trade and makes him fa
it, lllar with the natural laws govern
ing trade and society. Helng ac
quainted with these forces often
makes the tradesman see In what di
rection his next move must bo iu order
that ho may not be In opposition to
notary. It Is only In this way that
Political Kcononiy has anything to do
with money-making.
After Professor Taylor had concluded
President Searson announced the sub
ject for the evening as a debate. Tho
question was: Granted tho desirabil
ity of blmetnl!!ni: Resolved, That the
United States should enter upon tho
fcee and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at tho ratio of 10 to 1.
Speeches were limited to fifteen min
utes, the alllrmatlve having live min
utes at the end to close the debate.
Massrs. Lieu and Harding spoke on
tho alllrmatlve, while Messrs. Lamb
and Itollenback took the negative.
Monday night u crowd gave bicyclers
at tho theatre at the Insane hospital.
The east wan composed of Koeue Ab
bott, Norman Shreve. Hob Manley, Art
Hutchison and Misses Smoyer and Pol
lard. Hesldes the play there wore two
piano solos, a recitation, a banjo duet
and several number by a quartet.
A great many highly amusing things
happened. In the first placo Art
Hutchison mlseed bis car and the play
had to go on without a stage rehoar
sal. He showod up about 8 o'clock,
staggering up the walk with his stage
wardrobe stuffed In a big carpet sack
his father bad used In the war.
The male quartet was composed of
Jim liurks, Judge Cooley, Hert Lang
worthy and Short Lenhoff. "Short"
was an hour and a half late. It seems
that he had forgotten which Institu
tion it was to bo given at and he drove
out to the penitentiary, Wortlilngton
academy, homo for the friendless and
tho poor houso looking for the troupe.
Ho got there Just In time to go on and
sing "Sweet Chiming HoI1b.'
Tho play went off with very few
hitches. Keene got excited In his
scene with the "Kl-yi gun" and
squirted water all over Shreve's best
collar. Art Hutchison forgot where
the door was at one of his entrances
and tried to walk through the scenory.
Keene Abbott had to make such a
quick change of costume, 'jfhat he came
on without any shoes on at one time.
.H'NK fi, JSUrt.
HiihsoI Thoip and Wlllnrd YatoH
played a banjo duot. MIhh Colson play
ing tho accompaniment, Ilussol broke
a couple of strings in thu nl08t touch
ing part of the piece, but ho played
tho rost or the piece on ono string.
After tho performance was over, the
chairs wore moved back and tho
crowd dancod until u o'clock.
Coming home Judge ct)0loy made uso
of an old gleo club trick uid tried to
bent tho stroot car company out of a
faro. Tho "Con" was too smooth for
him though, and Judge had' to take
his flvo pontiles nut of the sweat band
of his lint and put them In the box.
The troupe was well pleased with their
coeoptlon and swear they will give an
other performance there the (lrst thing
next year. It was Impossible to get
the names of all that wore out there,
but there was quite n crowd. Huck
McCreory acted as lloor managor at
tho dtiucu Rtid Mike Sheldon was
chaperone.
MISS JNKLMNC'S IlKCITAL.
Ixist Saturday evening in the con
servatory parlors Miss Snolllng gavo a
piano recital, In which she was insisted
by Miss Cletner.
MIbh Snolllng's touch Is vory firm,
and yot In pieces like "Will o' the
Wisp" and "At Hie Spring" lt has all
tho delicacy necessary to bring out the
light, rippling melody which runs
through them.
The "Andante et Scherzottlno." for
two pianos, by Miss Snolllng and Miss
Scollfld was especially good
MCsh Cletnor sang In her usual pleas
In manner. "Caller Herrlir' and tho
"Irish Folk Song" were very charm
ingly rendered. In "My Love Is Come"
Miss Gotnor had opportunity ta lot her
voice out and sang It with it groat deal
of expression.
