ment of farming lands.
Moved by a sense of duty I'M
der the constitution, on January
q, 1863, Hon. C. V. Eskridge,
representative from Lyon county,
introduced. a bill providing for
the location and establishment of
the University of Kansas at En-
pOria.
1t was designated House Bill
No .l22..
Its course through the legisla-
ture was as follows:
Jauudfy q, referred to Commit

January 81, reported back with
recommendation that it be passed.
February 9th, Committee of the
whole House considered bills re
lating to the location of the State
University; the State Agricultural
College, and the Insane Asylum.
On Using, the committee of the

ed leave to sit again on Monday,

February Is, House bill No. 100
locating the University in the Vi
entity of Lawrence. passed in the
Senate 10 to 4.
These simple annals do not re-
cite the anXieties experienced. nor
the arguments used. It was recog
nlzed that the establishment and
maintenance of the University in
the new state would have a NIGH
tv Influence in making the future
commonwealth and qualifying com
ing generations to take high DO
SltOnS in the work of the world
and it was known also that the
University would be a great prize
for the town which should draw
it.
Charges of corrupt combina-
tons between Lawrence and To
peka were intimated. Fear that
Lawrence would deevlop so much
strength that she would capture
the Agricultural College as well
as the University is said to have
influenced many of the thirty-two
representatives who voted against
the bill locating the University at
Lawrence.

Beautiful Enolish Frost

The beauty Of frost is greater per

CHEROKEE BALL GAME.
Preceded by Songs and Dances Which
Last All NiQht


The ball game as played by the
Cherokees is rs important to them as
football or any other popular game is
to other people. The eastern band of
Cherokces live on the Qualla reserva-
ton. in western North Carolina.
The neighborhood in which | live.
writes an Indian girl in the Red Man.
is divided into four main sections
namely, Yellow Hill, Soco. Big Cove
and Birdtown. The Indians living in
one of these sections will challenge
those living in another to n game of
ball. They choose their players and
agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. 1t Is generally
played in an open field far different
from the we'll graded field upon which
the game of football is played.
The evening before the game the In
dams, the women included. hold a
dance in their respective sections Of
the country. These dances are held in
the open air. usually near some small
stream. The women do the singing
while the men dance. In their songs
they make all kinds of remarks about
those of the opposing side. These
dances continue all night long. From
/. the time Of the dances until after the
game the players are not allowed to
eat any food.
! The following day the people from
the different sections gather at the ap-
pointed place to witness the game.
They either sit or stand around the
edge Of the field. The ball players
each have two sticks similar to those
used in the game of lacrosse. only
smaller. The ball is tossed up in the
center Of the field, and the game be-
gins. The object is to get it around
two poles placed at each end Of the
field q certain number of times. They
cannot pick up the ball in their hands
The players who succeed in getting the
ball around the poles ut the end Of the
field the greatest number Of times wiz
