Miss Lily Bruner went up to Holt county, last evening, where she will keep house for her brothers on their ranches.

Chancellor MacLean received Thursday a cablegram laconically expressed. It said: "Well." As it was dated Buenos Ayres and was signed Bruner, it told, however, that Professor Laurence Bruner had landed in Argentine Republic after his five weeks' voyage. It will be another five or six weeks before any written word can come from him to his family.
A Chicago paper a day or two since gave a column article to Professor Bruner and his work, publishing his portrait.

Book Reviews, the organ for the Macmillan company, contains a notice of the departure of Prof. Lawrence Bruner of the university of Nebraska for Argentine Republic to study the grasshopper plague and closes the statement of facts by this:
"No better choice could possibly have been made. Professor Bruner was connected with the United States entomological commission in its thorough investigations of the Rocky mountain locust or Colorado grasshopper, in 1876 to 1880, and has since become known as one of the foremost workers on the order of Orthoptera in the United States."

Jacob White, who as a boy was prominent in matters of muscle about the state university, but whoa fterwards went to Ann Arbor and studied medicine, has been heard from through a Lincoln man who was recently in Montana. Jake is now practicing medicine at Butte City, Mont.
