Lieutenant Webster got away with his connniuul on the Creeclmoor pructicc. Ho scored 20. Myers, Knight and Cheney loomed up in Company A, antMIawlcy, Mu ho, and Frankfortcr in Company B, but none of them came up to Lieutenant. The most econ score made was by "Conny Mac," 30000. An old-time student, who was out in Silvemall's surveying party last summer, up near the head waters of the Missouri, says that John was an assiduous collector of .specimens. lie had the University museum in his eye, it would seen. John picked up every old rock in the whole country 'round that looked queer and piled them into a sack. At last the sack became so heavy thai no one would carry it and when camp broke to go over I lie mountains, Silvernail had to hklo li is col lection in an old mill, where it is to be hoped it may be found on the return tour. We may expect to see John trudging into Lincoln next spring, his eyes blood-sh'U, his face haggard, his splendid hair bleached out by cxposm, and his nunly shoulders bent under an enormous load of old stones, each one labelled, "Presented to the University Museum by J. S., B. S , '81. THE SOCIETIES. The ex'eroiscs of the Palladians, on the evening of the 7th, were goud, though the audience was small, possibly on ac count of the rivalling attractions of Barn urn's circus. Miss Parker recited "Our Polks," Mr. Conrad reau an original po em, Mr. Lamar an essay, Mr. Davis spoke impromptu on the circus, Mr. Chase ie.ul a humorouB sketch of a mail cat. The de bato was excellent, well led, and partici pated in by the whole audience. The proposition to hold society meetings Sat. uiday evening was voted down, notwith standing the earnest appeals ol'Jutiors and Seniors who have recitations on Sat urday. T1IK NKAV IlKUKN TS. Mr. Pifield, of Kearney, who has served the state as regent of the Uuiversity for the past six years, in which ho has always given the business brought oefore him searching attention, was renominated from the tilth district by the State Con ventlon last week, and has accepted. Prom the sixth district in place of Mv Adair, Mr Isaac Powers was chosen, a gentleman, us we understand, of liberal education and line points. He is flute senator from Dakota and Burt. In classifying the new regents according to the only manner in which university regents are classified nowadays, that is on a religious basis Mr. Powers must bo placed on the bvoad gunge side and Mr. Fifleld remains what he was before, and as his ministerial habit would signify, a Fairfield man, that is to enlighten the unitiated a man on the board of regents who will support the ad ministration of Chancellor Fairfield, as against the attacks of the peculiar party who are trving to overthrow that admin istration. This gives the "radical" party the majority on the board now, four to two, and what the result or results may bo is a speculation to be entered upon witli the most intense caution. That the nom ination was a matter of importance to cor tain University professors was told from their presence on the tloor of the conven tion at 2 o'clock in the morning. Omaha Herald. IN IttEITIOKIAM. On Friday evening of last week the University Union society held special services in memory of their late member, Mr. Harrington, or Salem. The exercises were begun by a short but feeling prayer by Rev. Lewis Gregory, followed by a very acceptable rendition of "Nearer my God to Tiifc," by Mrs. Ilohmanu. The following resolutions wero then inlio. duced by Mr. Pierce, a former room mate and classmate of Mr. Harrington, and adopted by the society. Whereas, In the wisdom of our ifeav- only Father, H. "Walter Harrington has been called to his eternal home; and, Whereas, Recognizing in him the sterling worth and the abilities that prom ised a future of useful labor, we are called upon to part forever with one whom we destined for noble purposes in life; there, fore be it Resolved, That we, the Union society, bow in bumble submission to the will of God, we none the less mourn the loss of him, who, by years of diligent work, had endeared himself to us. Resolved, That in his death the Univcr. sity loses a student and this society a member, whose mar.ly deportment and gentlemanly bearing gained for him the respect and admiration of professors and students alike. Resolved, That this society expresses to the stricken parents a sincere desire to share the burden of grief which has so suddenly fallen upon thorn. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu lions be published in each of the Lincoln dailies, in the Falls Cil) Globe-Journal, and that one be sent to the family of the deceased. OlIARLKsA. PlKltCK.

Hi I lard Hickok has started a grocery. Dave Mercer has at last realized his dream; he is in the law department of Ann Arbor. We're going to publish a let tor from Dave to the Student, soon. The last new diige of the Cadet Band would make a cat shed tears. Of course the cat- must be a whole-souled feline with an ear far symphony and sympa thy. W. K. Hutchinson, of Ashland, was in the hulls of tlm college a few days ago, allowing signs of illness, we are sorry to say. "Hutch" will not enter school this year but seek health and st length by a visit to Western Nrbru-ku. In older to catch Messrs. J. B. Trickey & Co. (our popular jewelers) for an ad vcrtibcmcut, we would suggest that our students making purchases of these esti nmble gentlemen, to gently intimate the fact thai they are students. 1 4 f H x i H !l i- n
