From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 4, 1910:

“Fire in the business district did $1,000 damage to the stock of Dick Bros., druggists, this morning. The blaze originated in the cellar where the reserved stock is stored, and an immense amount of dry chemicals and toilet accessories were water soaked. The loss is fully covered by insurance.”

“The Student Council will be asked to select an official K.U. button which the Jayhawker students can wear in the coat lapels when away from Lawrence. Such a button would be [a means] of identification when two alumni of Kansas meet, and in addition would be a great advertisement for the university.”

“Teheran, Persia — The English invasion of Persia has begun with a pitched battle in which it is reported the commander and several sailors of the British cruiser, Prosperine, were wounded. Although ostensibly for the purpose of ‘maintaining and preserving order in the British sphere of influence in Persia,’ there is every reason for the belief that the British invasion is part of a plan of England and Russia to partition the little kingdom. The Persians so regarding it, appealed secretly to Germany and France for protection.”
