to be found an article from the
Homestead" a paper printed at
Des Moines, Iowa, on the
subject Of Cheap lands in the
South This article is coidently
intended to call attention to the
opportunities that home seekers
can find through the great south
ern railway, which has large bodies
of land situated in the various
states through which it passes,
for sale. We take pleasure in
printing this article and in ad-
ding an additional word upon the
subject.
The only cheap lands fit for
farming purposes, now to be found
in the country r to be found in
the South. The great tide of emigra-
ton has run its course from east
for many years. 1t has run upon
isothermal lines, which seems to
come from an instructive DISPOSE
ton of man to continue to dwell
in the same latitude where he
Was reared. Climatic conditions
are very largely influential in di-
recting the flow of emigration.
Through this great influx of popu-
lation all of the desirable lands of
the northwest have been taken up
and settled.
The lands left for entry, or pur-
chase at cheap figures, up there
are avid and practically valuless
for agricultural purposes. There
is now a plan of irrigation being
discussed, by which those lands
may be rendered fit for cultivation
but its practibility is doubted and
its execution is a thing of the dim
distance. The land there is very
dry and porous and it is almost
impossible to wet it sufficiently to
grow crops. The north west is no
longer inviting to the farmer and
may be said to have retired from
the field as an active competitor
with the sunny south in the race
for immigrants.
III ere has been for the past five
years a steady flow of immigra-
ton to the gulf states. This in
1ux has not been large but it is
increasing at a steady rate and
may now be said to be larger than
1T has been at any time. 1t is COM
posed chiefly of farmers, under
which term we include those en-
gagged in general farming, stock
raising aud horticulture. Our
observation has been that in all
instances where these people have
come with means sufficient to buy
and pay for homes, they have
succeeded and are satisfied. many
of them have become cotton grow.

HON. E. |. RUSSELL.

Of the Mobile & Ohio railroad and
at present general counsel Of that
company, fought his way up from
the bottom, says the Picayune.
He did not always walk the easy
paths Of success, but was once
wont to contest every foot of his
upward journey.
Mr.. Russell is a native born
Mississippian. So by the same
token is Robert Perkins, division
freight agent in New Orleans of
the Illinois Central railaoad. Mr..
Perkins il not only a great friend
but il great admirer Of Mr.. Rus

the early struggles Of the promi-
nent attorney.
"Did you ever hear Mr.. Russell
tell of his first experience before
the supreme court of the
United States?" Mr.. Perkins
asked the other day. 81 have
listened to the story many a time
and while Mr.. Russell has recited
it all over the country, | don't
think it has ever found its way
into print
"Mr. Russell had achieved. a
fair success in the practice of
law in his native state, but
he was not overburdened with

"The first thing he bought was
a silk hat. Then he got some tan
gloves and dug up his last dollar
to purchase a Prince Albert suit
of black. On the day for which
the case al fixed he rugged him
self up to kill. He hired a small
boy to take all the law books
around to the court with which he
hal fortified himself, and when he
entered the dignihed hall he fiat
tered himself that he was making
something Of a sensation.
Carefully removing his silk

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Nov. 27.-(Special
Telegram.)-Grand Island college today won
the intercolle giate championship in foot

feating Bellevue IL to s, after having won

will be in their favor, making their record
one without a defeat.
Today's game was the hercest and closest
ever witnessed in this city. The scores
we're made in the twenty minutes OF the
first half. the entire second half being a
series Of alternate line smashes, with Grand
Island saving a touchdown by an excellent
tackle on the hve-yard line and gradually
working the ball into It's opponents ter
ritory.
For the last ten minutes Of the second
half Grand Island made a heroic struggle
for another touchdown, its terrific line
smashes and hurdle plays being checked
and it's runners successfully tackled by
Bellevue, whose team formed a most worthy
foe. The second half ended with the ball
eighteen yards Of the Bellevue goal. The
first half was a thirty-fve and the second a
twenty-6ve-minute contest. Both teams
played a clean game, and neither side has
any complaint to make.
The game was won on It's merits and but
one dispute arose, which was decided in
favor of Bellevue. An immense crowd was
in attendance and the line guards had
some difficulty in controlling the crowd.

Illinois Piles Up a Score of Eighty
to Nothing for the
HRwkeyes.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,. Nov. 2I-(SpeciaI Tele-
gram.)-Inlnois overwhelmed Iowa by ~
to 0 on Illinois field today. Illinois played
a helping game, pushing and pulling their
runner until the ball was called down. This
play was not brilliant, save by comparison
with their opponents team work, and they
Illinois scored seven touchdowns in each
half. When the score reached hfty-seven,
one less than Iowa's score on Illinois two
years ago, Iowa held the figures stationary
for ten minutes. A tumble by the Hawk
eyes on their thirty-yard line gave Illinois
Iowa's ffteen-yard line, was pulled to his
feet and dragged over the line mid great
cheers by the Illinois %rooters.
Iowa suffered the large total score piled
up against 1t because OF the absolute lack
of concentrated effort in its playing. In
gan contest. The Hawkeyes did not give
up, but they could not play together. They
tackled poorly, Jones and Fred Buckley

played a very brilliant game. Time and
again he tripped the Illinois interference
often he rose from this task and nabbed
the runner; Several touehdoWns were
saved by his work in taekling Illinois for
a loss when near the Iowa goal. Jones,
Hollenbeck, Howell and Johnston played
brilliant individual games for Iowa.
The Illinois line got the charge on Iowa
at the start and opened up big holes for it's
backs. Illinois began its offense by calling
Stahl back and plunging on Iowa's tackles.

90 runs from the regular formation and
to running Stahl and Rothgeb from their
positions IN the line. Iowa frequently held
Illinois for downs and would often rain
twenty yards by plays on the Illinois tack
les. Then they would be forced to punt
and the punts were but half the time high.
Umpire Rhinehart was very remiss In see
ing holding and ofside plays. Darby ref
creed excellently.
Iowa won the toss and chose the north
goal, with the wind. Stahl kicked to How
ell on Iowa's ten-yard line, who returned
to Iowa's tw~enty-yard line. Illinois held
Iowa's tackle back play on Iowa's thirty
yard line. Illinois then went TO Iowa's
Vineyard line and was held, mainly by
Hollenbeck's breaking through the line.
Illinois again approached IoWa's goal, but
| was held on the H~awkeye's two-yard line,
Jones stopping for a loss a delayed pass.
As in the Michigan game, Iowa was vul-
nerable on the third approach to its goal,
though Cook held Ross while Bronson
skipped past him for a touchdown. The
touchdowns came fairly fast until the end
OF the half, when seven had been run over.
Score: Illinois. Al; Iowa, o.
In the second half Illinois made several
long runs through big holes In Iowa's tack
les and around the Hawkeye's left end,
which was weak throughout the game. III
