THE OTTAWA CAMPUS.
MR. HALLEY'S? NO; DeRAKE'S.
An Addition to the Comet Expedition Came Last Week, Furnishing an Excuse for Moonlight Strolls. Amid Examination Week.
The new light in the western sky is nct Halley's comet, but is the prop- eriy of a Dutchman named DeRake. Halley's comet will not be due here until April and it has never in two thousand years been ahead of its schedul.e.
The new comet appeared Thursday right, and was at once classified as Halley's by many persons. Not so the wise men. The college professors locked up the matter and found that the stranger had been discovered the Sunday before by DeRake down in South Africa. It has never appeared before and, it is thought, will not come again.
DeRake's comet is now traveling away from the sun at a tremendous rate and so appears higher in the
heavens each evening. It is very bright and on clear evenings the out- lins of a fine bushy tail are plainly visible.
The comet can now be seen from about six o'clock till half-past seven.
Prof. H. D. Woods of Washburn first recognized the stranger and intro- duced him to the western audiences. Large crowds of sightseers have been watching the comet each evening. With two comets appearing in one year, the public is very fortunate. College students should make tl most of this excuse for moonlight strolls.
It is suggested that the owners of stray comets put a brand on them, and decrease the chances fo rastron- omy professors to prevaricate.
ENGINEERS' MOVING DAY.
They Established Headquarters on Floor One Last Saturday.
The college engineers had a moving son could see them trooping down the day last Saturday morning. A per- s'airs carrying desks and seats. The
move was from the gallery of the chapel to the room vacated by the de- partment of expression. Prof. Shirk gave as the reason for the move the fact that he held all of his classes in the physics laboratory room on the first floor and it made him too many trips to the third floor to look after the draughting students.
The many couples that foolishly sat under the edge of the balcony to hold their tete-a-tetes and got bombarded with chalk and paper wads will doubt- be glad of the move.
VISITED IN ATCHISON.
Miss Stickler Returned This Week From a Visit to Relatives.
Miss Margaret Stickler, matron of Charlton Cottage, returned to Ottawa Monday evening after several days' visit with relatives in Atchison. Miss Stickler was accompanied by her sis- ter, Mrs. Lizzie Galbreith, who will return today.
During Miss Stickler's absence, the Misses Medders had Charlton cottage in charge.

ATHLETIC NOTES.
Football will be retained at West Point and Annapolis. For awhile it was thought that football would be abolished. The annual game will oc- cur Nov. 26.
It is beginning to look as if Mis- souri and Kansas will "scrap" it out in basketball as it was done in foot- ball.
· Herreinstein, the famous Haskell football coach, in '03 and '04, has ap- plied for the job of coaching at Kan- sas University this year. As yet the board ha s taken no action.
Missouri University is still without a football coach. It is probable that another Princeton man will be en- gaged.
The Haskell Indian basketball team has been suspended from the A. A. U. The Indians played the Allen broth- ers' basketball team, and "Phog" Al- len, who is a coach, and a profession- al, played.
When Johnny Bender was refused the job of football coach at Nebraska, he refused to leave Haskell to coach his alma mater's baseball team.

FOR MISS SIFFERD.
The Senior Girls Entertained at a "Coon" Wedding.
The Senior class girls entertained Saturday evening at the home of Miss Clara Crain in honor of Miss Lillian Sifferd, ex. '10, of Tulsa, Okla. The party took the form of a mock "coon" wedding. Miss Lillian Sifferd acted as the groom and Miss Bernice Heath, in white with a lace curtain for a veil, and a red poppie bouquet, acted as bride.
The impressive ceremony was per- formed by Miss Elsie Dietrich, the ring ceremony being used. Miss Mar- garet Osgood acted as flower girl and Miss Mabel Nichols performed the of- fice of ring bearer, carrying the ring in a large churn dash. The strains of the wedding march were played by Miss Anna Wallace and proved to be a lively two-step. Miss Florence Rob- inson was bridesmaid, and Miss Ada Krouse attended as best man. Fol-
lowing the ceremony a wedding su per was served. The other guests ou side the class girls were Margar Rice '11, Faith Pugh '13 and Edr Fisher.

REV. HINE LECTURED.
le Told the Ministers of the Origin of the Churches.
The meeting of the Ministerial AS- ociation last Friday afternoon was ddressed by Rev. George Hine, pas- or of the North Baptist church. Mr. line took as his subject the growth f the leading denomniations oftoday, lustrating his lecture by means of a lackboard diagram. He showed how he people of the Way came to be alled Christians, how the Catholic hurch grew out of the New Testa- nent church, and how many of the Protestant churches branched off from he Catholic church at the time of the reat religious reforms, such as the nes at the times of Luther, Zwingle, Calvin, Knox, and others.
He also showed that ever since the New Testament times, there have been some who have refused to accept he formalism and teachings of the Catholic church, holding that no one hould coe between the individual oul and Christ, and that salvation comes by faith rather than by works. The Baptists of today hold more than ny other denomination to these doc- rines and are more widely separated rom any trace of Catholicism than ny other denomination.
A cordial invitation has been ex-
tended to any one interested to at- tend the meetings of the Association. At nearly every session, there are a few visitors, but more could be ac- commodated. The speakers chosen are among the best available, and they always speak upon some live topic of the day.
A TRIP TO TURKEY.
The Academic Olympians Visited the. Scene of Much Insurrection.
The academic division of the Olym- pian society enjoyed an excellent pro- gram on Turkey last Saturday eve- ning. After a piano solo by Edna Scoville, Homer Rush read a paper on "The Recent Insurrection in Tur- key." This was followed by a discus- sion of "The Future Political Aspects of the Country." Glacia Martin then delighted the audience with a couple of readings, after which Goldena Hall read a paper on "The Manners and Customs in Turkey." The last num- ber on the program was a piano solo by Ethel Graves.
After a short recess, a business meeting was held, the principal busl- ness being the installation of the new officers.
On account of examinations and Dr. Winship's lecture, there were no meet- ings of the collegiate divisions of the societies Monday evening.

THE EVANGELISTIC SERVICES.
Methodists Close a Big Meeting- Baptists Continued This Week.
There was a touch of sadness in Rev. Elliott's voice as he preached to the large audience that filled the Bap- tist church Sunday evening. Not that his theme was pathetic, for it was filled with cheer. Rather was it be- cause of the libel, the abuse, that men heap upon "the God of our fathers," the delusion under which men labor in regard to God's purpose with man. The burden of the sermon was to dis- credit his delusion. Never was Mr. Elliott more earnest, more eloquent, clear, in his elucidation of the Scrip- ture.
The services, taken as a whole, were the most solemnly impressive of the year. "The Lord is My Shepherd," sung by a quartet composed of Prof. and Mrs. Bixel, Miss Allen and Mr. Bachman, and the large number of baptisms, blended in splendid har- mony with the sermon, "On the Wait- ing List."
The choir, augmented by several new faces, and trained carefully and thoroughly, performed perfectly. Were the people spiritless, it enthused them; were they restless, it soothed them. Its singing was the forerunner, the attendant, and the follower of the minister's message.
In his sermon, which he himself said, "was not an intelleuctual feast but a simple gospel message," Mr. Elliott severely arraigned the idea of damning a human being. "I am im- pressed," said he, "in reading the Gospels, of the places assigned to love and wrath. Wrath has its place, but itis only when love's limit is reached. Tell me," he cried, "that the Christ of Calvary will consign a soul to hell. Never! If a man goes to hell, he goes in spite of Christ and Calvary."
"Listen, young people, if your neigh- bors treated you one-half as dishon- estly as you treat yourselves, you

The foregoing statement was made by Evangelist Runyan in his sermon on "The Call of Life," designed es- pecial'y for young people in the Meth- odist church Fridy night.
The evangelist is a versatile story. teller and passes from the humorous to the pathetic with rapidity and dex- terity, causing his auditors to grasp between their laughing and weeping, the tremendous moral truths he seeks to teach.
Continuing his discourse, he told of a young man who had a dream-a vision-a strange hallucination, in which he saw, blazoned in the sky the letters P. C. Being troubled by this strange phenomenon, he went to a minister, wise, level-headed old saint, and asked if these letters did not signify that he should preach Christ. "Possibly," was the reply, "but they also mean many other things. For in- stance, they could mean plow corn, pick cherries, or in this western coun- try, punch cattle." "And that's my theology," shouted Mr. Runyan, "I be- lieve in divinely called blacksmiths, merchants, doctors, lawyers. The minister's call is not more sacred than their's, if God be behindthem."

TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBIT.
Interesting Pictures of "The White Plague" Shown in Ottawa.
The tuberculosis exhibit of the Kansas state board of health was on display at Library hall in Ottawa last Friday and Saturday. The exhibit was in charge of Dr. S. C. Emley and Miss Neiswanger and consisted of ex- amples of sanitary and unsanitary sleeping rooms exhibits of the number of persons dying from tuberculosis and by typhoid fever in Kansas in the last ten years pictures of sanitary and unsanitary conditions in cities and dairies, placards bearing hints and warnings as to how to avoid tu- berculosis and typhoid fever, models of open air sleeping apartments, and others.
Lectures were given on sanitation and kindred topics each morning, aft- ernoon and evening during the exhibit by those having the exhibit in charge and by local members of the medical profession.
It was estimated that almost three thousand people attended the exhibit, and people were turned away from nearly every one of the lectures be- cause of the limitd capacity of the hall.
Dr. Emley visited chapel at University last Saturday morning and made a short talk on bacilli, bringing out the fact that there are many more kinds of bacilli that are beneficial to man than there are that harm him, He pointed out the foolishness of bac- teriophobia, but showed the necessity of reasonable carefulness with regard to harmful infection.
In closing he said that he hesitated to speak of it in an institution of this sort, but that he felt he must make a plea against any person infecting an- other in kissing.
