erection of the new chemistry building.

once eo that the successful contractor
for the building can commence excavat
ing before the end of November. Com
pleted plans and specifications of the
structure will soon be ready, and adver
tisement will be made for bids before
the end of the month.
While all of this fcloek will not be
needed for the chemistry building; the
land will be cleared and ten more tennis
courts built. This will meet an Insistent
demand from the students that the ath
letic board provide better facilities for
tennis, a demand that took the form of
ft petition that was signed by 1.000 stu
flents and presented to the regents last
June. The popularity of tennis as a
port for both men and women has been
Increasing at the university recently and
was given Impetus when Nebraska
was) placed second in the Missouri Valley
Intercollegiate tennis meet last spring.

preparing the ground for the new build
Inr took steps to have a board of ap
praisers appointed by the governor to fix
the value of four lots In this bloc,
where the cltlxens' committee and the
owners could not agree as to the right
price. At the same time the committee
started proceedings to secure the lot be
longing to Jacob Mohler, which must be
purchased before the Bessey building can
be erected. '
Mr. Mohler refused to accept the valu
ation placed on his land by the apprais
er and It Is now proposed to condemn
this land.

The Bessey memorial fund, the Income
from which will be used to provide an
nually two scholarships In botany, or
which will be available for the use of
Mrs. Bessey during her lifetime If she
wishes, has Passed the $1,000 mark. Sec
retary Guy Reed depositing enough with
State Treasurer Hall last week to make'
the fund tl.060. While this Is but a small
portion of the total sum of $15,000 which
It is hoped will be raised, the officers of
the memorial association are confident
that the alumni of the university will
ultimately raise an amount that will be
a fitting permanent memorial to Ne
braska's educator.
Edward C. Elliott, a graduate of the
univesity In the class of .1886, and at
present head of the department of edu
cation in the University of Wisconsin,
has been elected chancellor of the Uni

lished as water supply paper No. $71 by
the United States Geological survey. In
addition to his work as a practicing en
gineer. Prof. Lyon Is assistant professor

Girls at Lmacheoa.
Several hundred university girls, and a
score of alumnae enjoyed the first girls'
foot ball luncheon Just before the Notre
Dame game Saturday. The luncheon
was given under the auspices of the girls'
club, which secured a special seotlon in
the grandstand for the women students,
and decorated It VI th scarlet and cream
bunting. After the luncheon, and a re
hearsal of the Nebraska songs and yells,
the girls marched In a body to the field,
and took their places in the grandstand.
Outdoor hockey has been enthusiasti
cally adopted as the favorite sport of
the co-eds, who used the athletic field
while the foot ball team was having
secret practice at the base ball park.
The girls rarely have an opportunity for
using the field for outdoor sports, as
It Is used practically the year round for
foot ball, both in the spring and fall. It
la hoped that space for an athletlo field
where the girls can enjoy outdoor sports
will be provided on the extended campus,
when the ground is finally cleared.
Congressman C F. Rcavis will address
the students at convocation hour Tues
day morning. His subject has not been
announced. '
One effect of the European war has
been to decrease the number of complaints
on account of compulsory drill, and to
cause the cadets to show mora enthus
iasm for their drill In military science,
according to Chancellor Avery. The chan
cellor says that since he became head
of the university he has never. had to
listen to so few complaints on account
of the drill, as this year.

efit I hav derived from the use of
Swamp-Root I had been a sufferer for
more than twenty years from kidney and
liver trouble and was almost constantly
treated by the most eminent physicians
who could only give me temporary relief.
I had been in bed ten week when I began
the use of Swamp-Root Inside of
twenty-four hour I could see that I had
been greatly benefited. I continued to
use Swamp-Root until I had used several
bottles when I really felt that my old
trouble was completely cured and I am
positive that any person suffering with
kidney or liver trouble can be cured by
the use of this preparation.
I am now in the best of health, better
than I have been for ten years or more.
I do not know how to expreas myself as
strongly as I desire, in favor of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, as I am cure that
It saved my life and that my good health
Is due entirely to this great remedy. I
heartily recommend It to every sufferer
