J. IT. Halligan, a former student, now of Ugallala, was in

Bowman a success at stealing milk from the original fountain
is for him to learn better than to attempt milking on the left
side of the cow.

our fair ladies, because he was not here, he would leave the
land of sod houses and come back to his suffering friends.
A large number of the students are industriously engaged
in trying to solve the "pepper cake" mystery. We arc firm
ly convinced that it is a huge joke but the many conflicting
statements prevent us from ascertaining just who was the vic

artificial means but we are inclined o think that it is the genu
ine, old-fashioned article.

necessitating a removal to another.
A man o'er full of that which cheers and inebriates came

The base ball game of last Friday between the University
team and the Capitol nine resulted in a draw game. The score
stood twelve to twelve. Another inning would have bcen
playcd except that it was tast growing dark and the boys were
