The good resulting from tho use of tho
ltabeook milk test and scales will be
thoroughly demonstrated. With these ap
pliances It Is easy to determine the exact
per cent of butter fat contained In tho
milk from each cow. As statistics show
that a quarter of tho cows are kept at a
loss, this Is of great Importance to a dairy
man, lie knows in tins way wnat enen
cow Is doing for him, and can dispose of
those that arc losing him money, and
also be constantly Improving the breed of
his nnlmnls.
Tho agriculture department like all
others of the university, Is open to wo
men. A list of alternate studies having
been prepared for them, as they will prob
ably wish to substitute them for certain
studies In tho regular course. The alter
nate studies are; food, Its nature and pre
paration; cleonlnr mechnnlcal and chem
ical, and general care of the house from
a sanitary point of view.
A. It. Hneker a skilled Instructor has
been secured to take charge of the dairy
school. Prof. T. L. Lyon, the head of
tho agricultural department, has been
untiring In his efforts to make this new
branch a success, and It promises to be
come one of tho most practical branches
In th whole university.
A L.ECTUKE ON APPENDICITIS.
Dr. Charles D. Chandler read a paper
on "Appendicitis" before tho University
Preparatory medical club Wednesday cvo
nlng. He reviewed tho anatomy of the
vermiform process and surrounding struc
ture. The exact location was only of in
terest to the physician, he said. As to
function; It Is a useless but dangerous llu
tie organ. He then gave some of the path
ological condition of syroptons of the dis
ease. As tho name Indicates, it Is the in-
flamanon of the appendix. It Is not a new
jigse. but as old as the appendix. The
old theory' that the disease was caused by
lodgment of foreign bodies, has been en
tirely abandoned. As only two percent of
the patients show such fiathologlcal con
ditions, Sterkel's theovy, that the patho
logical condition Is due to foetal matter
passing Into the appendix from the cae
cum and the pressure of the concretions
causing a rupture, this Is the circulation
theory' now universally adopted. Appen
dicitis Is always a surgical disease, var
ious types recurring and cxtednlng over
a long period, or fulminating and very rap

SuME ENTHUSIASM PKOMISED
Tho Seleot.ou of the Three Men Who Are

sity In tho Kunsus-Nobniska debate. And
If wo may Judge from the talk going on
In the hulls tho trlends of each deba.or w.ll

age him In his elTort. Never before has
there been diich real enthusiasm manifest
ed among the students generally us there
Is this year. The societies have made ar
rangements for reserved scats In the chap
el and expect to m.ike a good showing in
numbers and enthusiasm.
It Is Indeed commendable that so much
earnestness be shown in such a worthy
undertaking. Tho debaters havo rau-
sacked every library In the city to got In-
formation upon the subject to bo discussed.
Those who want to llnd out the compar
ative merlts"of Amer.can and Uusllsh sys- '
tenia of legislation should certainly not
fail to bt mvsont at tho Una) deba.e. I
Excellent music has been provided and
a good time generally Is assured. The ad
mission 3 only 11 ft co n cents. And no one
will over miss tho mite, when ho compares
tho Instruction and entertainments he Is
getting out of It. The question for the
Kansas-Nebraska debate has already
been selected. U is stated: Resolved that
the policy of the United Slates should be
to extend her dominions. Who will repre
sent us on this debate, Is being asked on
every hand. Let everyone ly aside his
work, that evenlnc anJ jssuro the debaters
that they will have a large and enthus
iastic audience .o greet them.
GODOWSKVS CONCERT.
The chapel was comfortably tilled las;
Saturday, by a music loving audience, who
came to hear the famous Russian pianist. J
Tho artist fully met the expectations of
his audience. They appreciated his won
derful technlc, his great versatility, and
marvelled a; the dexterity with which he
made the Instrument respond to his touch.
The only criticism that could be offered,
is that he was a little too classical for a
majority of .he audience, and to them the
program became a little tedious.
BASKET BALL.
R. D. Anderson has been suffering from
an injured linger. Baske; ball Is not whol
ly without Its crippled followers.
The eight o'clock division played a prac
tice game Saturday after noon.
The second division of the eleven o'clock
class leads the class teams by two points.
Dr. Clark says that he will make those
players who objec. to decisions of the um
pire, try umpiring a game themselves

V. Patch, Carl Shuff. Will Boose. Rena

effort to make it a pleasant evening. Tick,
ots may be secured from the committee.
NO ELECTION YBT.
Contrary to the usual custom, the mem
bers of the football team who have a vote
on the captain for next season, have not
convened and elected thelt captain yet. '
Studonts of the university hive been wait-
Ing for the announcement of this event
for some time, and much disappointment
Is expressed, that the matter has not been
decided
COACH ROBINSON WILL STAY.
Unless he has changed hit mind during
the last six hours, Coach Robinson will
remain In Lincoln and enter tho univer
sity law school the first of next year. Ho
hes been ln a state of Indecision for the
past few weeks, making up and unmaking
j up his mind with startling rapidity. He

the baseball management to act aB coach

W. H. Oury will loavo for Lawrence,
Knn with 1 D. Cornell this aftoinoon,
as dologato from tho university to tho
nnnunl meeting of tho league. Some Im
portant matters will bo brought up ami
decided. Mr. Oury will mnko every ef
fort to fore Missouri to pay us back tho
sum of llfiy-tlve dollars which was dis

woro sottled for tho Missouri game. If
Missouri Is disposed to act fair in the mat
ter, there Is no doubt but that It will bo
returned. The games will bo scheduled for
next season, and probably there will bo a
withdrawal from tho lei-gue.
I AW SCHOOL NOT1CS.
Unless tho llnnnclal panic has reduced
tho law department much further than Is
apparent, there will bo a big turnout at
.he llnnl debate Saturday night by mem
bers of tho department.
In the senior class meeting held Friday
last for the election of officers, C. Mousel
Wfts elected president, C. L. Wilson vlce-
presldont, Thompson secretary, HIdgely
treasurer, and D. I Wilson, sergeant at
arms.
In a sec!nl meeting of tho senior laws J
held Monday evening to consider the get-1
ting out of a senior law annual, a commit-
tee consisting of Flaherty, Wilson, D. L,; ,
Babcock, Coleman and Smith were ap
pointed to give an estlmato of the probablo
cost, outline and plan, nnd report what
ever might be of Interest to the class, that
definite action might be taken ou the mat
ter before the holidays.
James II. Wallace, senior law, leaves
today for his home in Paris Idaho to spend
tho holidays. He has lately been appointed
district attorney in his state and during
his visit home "will lodk artertho respon
sibilities of his office. The unique feature
of a Mormon In tho law school, for such Is
his religious tenets, excited no little cur
iosity at first, but by his Industry, genial
good manners and straightforward txplan-
ations of Mormon principles he has done
much to dissipate .he prejudices to Mor-
monism, and endetrhln. to the class of '97.
. .
The rather obstreperous meeting In the
, ' "
.uuxweu ciuo &auiniay evening nas oeen
thoroughly aired In the columns of the
Journal and other mediums. It Is suffi- I
clem to observe that most absolute ns
tonlshment prevails among the law au
thorities that there should be a marked
difference of opinion on any question
among the students of the law depart
ment. One even admitted in the seclusion
of private conversation that some had for
gotten themselves so far In the heat of
Saturday night's discussion ns to behave
little better than the more refined of the
other clubs of the university. All feel
confident that at the next meeting the
matter will be amicably adjusted.
THE V. M. C. A. GLEE CLUB.
The Y. M. C. A. glee club becomes dally
more nnd more iopulnr. Last Sunday
night they were well received by a large
( audience at the First Presbyterian church.
The club was organized by a number of
tho university's best singers, because they
felt there was need of Just such a club.
They also felt tliat a number of slngors
would enjoy this kind of work. The en-

Mrs. Manning's Elocution Recital
Draws Quite an Attendance.
A GOOD SHOW IN EVERY WAY
Ably Assisted by a Detachment of tho
Pershing Utiles, Jt Proved a Orent
Success Timely Arrlvnl of
a Cheesy Crowd.
Tho ehnpol was lilted last night with a
great many people who cannot bo found
on deck at the sumo place at 10 o'oloek
every morning. Mrs. Manning's recitals
havo grown In popularity during tho past
year until now thoro Is a very largo class
of pcoplo that looks forwaixl to (heso ex
hibitions with no little expectation, Tho
performance Inst night possessed tho
smoothness which character:es all the ro
cl.als given In this department. After two
admirably rendered recitations and a
number of taking musical numbers, tho
ovent of the evening came oil In tho Bhnpo
1 of a play called "The dialing Dish Tar-
ty." This was a great event for a number
j of reasons. In tho llrst placo It was ab
j solutcly the llrst uppcaranco upon tho
stage of llertrand KIdd Imgworthy. It
was a sort of "coming out" and tho
youthful thesplan acquitted himself nobly.
Ho was specially good when ho sat down.
He was good when he stood up oo, but
he was simply great when he sat down.
iie has a large future before him.
i tho second place It was the nrst ap-
,cnrance of Jesse Rowe, In nnythlng as
light as farce. Ho has been known as
tho piercing tenor In tho McKlnley glco
club, ns the unscrupulous politician, and
as the general and willing clave in geol
ogy lab. Ho Is as much at home on the
stage as he Is off and his friends will real
ize that this Is saying a great deal. Ho
j Gave a most life llko portrayal of the part
of an abused married man. He received
no flowers.
Just before the play, rhero filed in a het
erogeneous mob of nondescripts, com
manded by "Parm" and ably and con
stantly aided by "Windy" Hyde. They
had swiped about a bushel of cheese at
J the armory and they began to throw
J 8maU chunks of It all over the audience

nml the ""once could see how Joyous
nnd free they were. Either their unac-
I . , ....,, ... ,
I customed proximity to girls or the novel
i sensation of sitting down stairs at a show
had a wonderful effect on them and at
times It was hard to tell in which end of
the chapel the largest show was going on.
Other members of the cast did their
Iarts in a most commendable fashion.
Annie Anderson was a great success as
the maid. Mr. Shreve as Bob Yardsley
was all that could be expected. He was
supposed to give an Imitation of a scrub
chef cooking a meal, when he didn't know
a thing about It. He did It thoroughly and
anyone who saw him monkeying with the
chafing dish would have sworn that he
didn't know what he was doing. When
the play was ended everyone was more
than satisfied In every' particular.
UNIVERSlTY GLEE CLUB.
Thus far this year little has been done
by tho glee club In tho way of public en
tertainment, but shortly after the Christ
mas holidays, a concert will be given,
which accodlng to reports will be well
worth hearing.
Under tho effllcient leadership of Profes
sor Kimball, the club Is progressing very
satisfactorily and Is learning many songs
of a bright nnd catchy chaiacter, and In
addition are being taught some new drills
by Harry Reese. With me return of H. S.
Evans, the parts are all well filled and
rounded out.
The memhorshfp Is as follows: First ten
