Nebraska 1 PREPARE 10 START | ON NEW BULLDING Ground at the State University Being Cleared for Erection,of Chemistry Hall, PLANS FOR TENNIS COURTS LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 25.—(Speclal)— Workmen have begun to clear away the frame dwellings on the block of ground | Just east of the athletic field and north of Nebraska Hall, preparing f@ the erection of the new chemistry bullding. It is proposed to clear this ground at once 80 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 block 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 % petition that was signed by 1,000 stu- dents and presented to the regents last June. The popularity of tennis as a eport 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 Intercolieglate tennis meet last spring. Will Condemn Land. The citizens' committee In charge of preparing the ground for the new build- Ing took steps to have a board of ap- praisers appointed by the governor to fix the value of four lots in this block, where the citizens' 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 bullding can be erected. Mr. Mohler refused to accept the valu- ation placed on his land by the apprais-| ors and it is now proposed to condemn this land. Bessey Memoria) Fund. ‘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 lifetimg if she wishes, has passed the $1,000 mark, Bec- retary Guy Reed depositing enough with Btate Treasurer Hall last week to make the fund $1,060. While this 1s but a small portion of the total sum of $15,000 which It is hoped will be ralsed, the officers of the memorial assoclation are confident that the alumni of the university will ultimately raise an amount that will be & fitting permanent memorial to Ne- braska's educator. Edward C. Elliott, a graduats of the univesity in the class of .18, and at present head of the department of edu- cation in the University of Wisconsin, has been elected chancellor of the Uni- versity of Montana. Dr, Elliott will take up his new work February 1, 1916, George J. Lyon, '8, who studied civil engineering at Nebraska university and later took a degree at Columbie, is the author of a paper on “Equipment for Current Meter Gaging Stations,” pub- 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 of civil engineering at Union university. Before that he was professor of civil engineering at Colorado college. Girls at Luncheon. 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 seotion in the grandstand for the women students, and decorated it With 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 fleld, and took their places in the grandstand. Outdoor hockey has been enthuslasti- cally adopted as the favorite sport of the co-eds, who used the athletic fleld while the foot ball team was having secret practice at the base ball park. The giris rarvely have an opportunity for using the fleld for outdoor sports, as it is used practically the year round for foot ball, both in the spring and fall. It Is hoped that space for an athletic field where the girls can enjoy outdoor sports will be provided on the extended campus, when the ground is finally cleared. Congressman C. F. Reavis will address the students at convocation hour Tues- day morning. His subject has not been announced. One effect of the Buropean war has been to decrease the aumber of complaints on account of compulsory drill, and to cause the cadets to show more enthus- fasm 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. 0ld-Time Resident of Auburn Gets Surprise AUBURN, Neb., Oct. 2.—(Special.)—H.

I wish to inform you of the great ben- efit I have derived from the use of Swamp-Root. 1 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. 1 had been in bed ten weeks when I began the use of BSwamp-Root. Inside of twenty-four hours I could see that I had been greatly benefited. I continued to use Swamp-Root until I had used several bottles when 1 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 expregs myself as strongly as 1 desire, in favor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, as I am gure that it saved my Iife and that my good health is due entirely to this great remedy. 1| heartily recommend it to every sufferer {and am confident they can be benefited as I have been, It is a pleasure for me, <ontiemen, to hand you this recommend- atlon.
