formation regarding the necessary ex-
penses for young men at the Universi.
| ty, which is beyond doubt the greatest
institution i'm the State, and one of the
greatest i'm the West. We quote from
office in answer to questions as to eX-
pense: "It is largely matter to be
decided by the young man coming to
the University as to his expenses. 1t
is surprising for how little money spent
some of our students get through.
L have a group of half dozen or more
i'm mind whose members got through
with an annual expenditure. of not
over 500 each. These men board
themselves, i. e., do their own purchas-
ing and cooking and rent unfurnished
rooms, furnishing them themselves by
purchasing second hand furniture.
Not few of these men find opportuni-
ties to earn the major portion of the
500 while at school. Going a grade
higher, two young men may rent Il
furnished room for as low as s. or ST a
month. They may board in club at
=. % a week each. This makes their
actual expenses for board and lodging
less than s. a week each, or S120 for
the school year. Thirty dollars will
cover incidental expenses for a very
economical young man, making $50
for the year. 1t is estimated by Prof.
Carruth that 500 are the average ex-
penses of our students. (This estimate
was made several years agO). In re-
gard to the work to be obtained the
writer says: ANY bright, capable,
willing young man will find oppOrtun-
tiles to help himself here" For
young woman, the expenses are likely
of course to be greater. In comparing
the expenses of those of other colleges
one must remember that no tuition
fee is charged at the University. This
means from $50 up,-especially up-in
other institutions. For the large re-
turns which may be gained, the cost
to the student is certainly small.
1t is unfortunate, as general rule
for both parties, when two entertain
ments are given in lola on the same
night. But if the public had known
what an intellectual treat they miss
ed who failed to hear Prof. Estey's
1.-THE Dark Continent" last Thursday
night, we feel safe in saying that the
Methodist church would have been
crowded to the utmost of its capacity,
probably not very much to the de-
trfment of the audience in the Hall,
either. Prof. Estey delivered, i'm a
manner that was entirely unexceptiOn-
able, lecture on q subject which
every we'll informed person ought to
know something of, and impaired a
great deal of information i'm very en-
tertaining manner His lucid account
of the origin of the war i'm the Egua-
torial Province i'm Africa, his graphic
description of the death struggle of
Chinese Gordon, and his vivid por-
trayal of the hardships and trials and
almost insurmOuntable obstacles
which Stanley encountered on his eX-
pedition to the relief of Emin Bey; and
his denunciation of the slave-trade in
Africa and impressive arraignment of
the United States government for
their failure to join in the Information
al movement for the suppression of
this gigantic evil, doubtless did much
to make Africa at least little less of a
clark continent TO most of his aud
itors.
The Teachers association meeting
as such last Friday was n decided
failure; but as teachers picnic it was
a great big success. The crowd that
at the school-house after
dinner so far exceeded the most san
guine anticipations that when all the
hacks had been pressed into service
it was o'clock before everybody had
the river, and as the boat was
obliged to make two trips it was &
o'clock before the second load reached |
the grounds in 1. B. Lawyers grove. |
At this late hour the program which |
had been arranged was declared off,"
and the last exercise OH the program |
was taken up,-a big supper, eaten
with the usual picnic accessories of
fresh air, big appetites, mosquitoes and
chiggers. After supper they came
back, as they had gone, in two boat
loads, it being II O'clock before the
second detachment reached town; but
they spent the time of waiting with
speeches, singing and mu-
sic by the band. And it was decided
by all to have been most enjoyable
picnic.
Union: The Young Ladies' Military
Band, of Humboldt have been engag-
ed to play at the Blue Grass Fair and
Exposition, at Creston, Iowa, from
August Goth to 20th inclusive. This
g one of the noted organizations of
he West, and Creston possesses
very fine and large Exposition build
ng. Including the Young Ladies
band, four bands, one from
Chicago, numbering 46 pieces, will be
present and play during the Fair.
The engagement bids fair to be
pleasant and profitable one for our
oand.
Under-Sheriff Prange of Chanute,
wired Sheriff Hobart to come down
md get McClain, one of the roughs
hat made the disturbance at Hum
ooldt July 1. When Hobart went
iown he found the man had gone.
It seems that Prange went with Nc
lain where it was claimed he had
Iome clothing he wanted. 4 woman
friend to McClain went upstairs to get
he clothing and came down with a
,un which McClain took and used in
making his escape.
AS a result of a deserved rebuks in
he Humboldt Union for their failure
o have any United States flags float
ng in their parade on the Fourth, the
county Alliance at their last meeting
,assed a resolution that each sub-Al-
lance should purchase United Stat
g flag to be used in public demonstra-
ions. Let the good work go on; they
nay yet become naturalized and make
,ood American citizens.
