1G2 LOOAIi NEWS. VOIi. VIII, ir ' Miss Ida Dobson, formerly u student of tho University nnd a pupil of Prof. Stadt or, took the first premium for the best painting at the State Fair. Miss Dobson is an earnest industrious student, and tills testimonial of her talents will afford great satisfaction to her many friends. Prof. Stadtcr took first premium for best Nebraska scene. The Univoisily is fuller ibis term than ever before. About eighty new students have come in this term, and the total at tendance is now 180. In the fall term, last year, something over twenty came in later than this in the term; so Unit the at tendance bids fair to be over 200. The University may vary it a little and say: "0 thai mine enemy would institute an investigation." In the German class the other day one of tho students told the Prof, in Dutch that he was Spanish, Dutch and English. Not being allowed to speak anything but Dutch, we couldn't command enough language to find out whether he was born on the ocean or in a balloon; we think he was though. Chaucer's language is so suggestive says our Prof, in English Literature. Yes we've noticed. How vividly for instance his line "Thou lokcst an thou wohlost 11ml nn hnrc" calls to mind the haggard face of the cheap restaurant boarder as he carefully scans the plate of ancient butter; very sug geslivc. All new comers should subscribe for tho Student. In it you will find the best literary eflorts of the students, notices of all that goes on in the University, changes in recitation times, society news etc. "Wo take it for granted that no old student is without it.

It was a discreet move in getting up so high as to be beyond the reach of all moveable property; for it would have been in a dangerous place amid the pow erful struggles and wild blows for a great, er part lost on the empty surroundings. The Dormitory has been so far com. pleted as to admit of opening, and has al ready quite a number of boarders. Day board co3ts $2.50 a week, or $2.25 to those who forego tho luxury of tea and colfee. This is getting board down to low figures and we prophesy that it will result in a largely increased attendance at the Uni versity. One of the busiest men in our town is the popular clothing dealer, S. Schwab. And the only reason he is so busy is he. cause lie has constantly on hand, such a large stock of Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gents.' Furnishing Goods. But busy as he may be he has help enough to wail on one more customer. Don't fail to call when you want anything In his line and get his low prices. Next in order is a sidewalk to the Dor mi lory. There should be one, by all means, before the wet weather sets in. The young ladies could never walk through a foot of mud and snow to the University. And then they must bo es corted to Society. They could not wade the bad places, and there is no sidewalk, and the boys would just have to carry that is you know carry a plank for them to walk across on. So inconven ient. The laying of the cornerstone of Crete's new college was done with much cere mony. Excellent addresses were made by some of our prominent educators and very appropriate remarks made by the different members of the faculty.
