DECLINES OFFER FROM EAST
Michigan Will Not Play Football At
Colombia and West Point
This Year.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 24.-West
Point and Columbia have asked Mich
igan for football games next fall, and
have been refused. Manager Baird says
that the Wisconsin, Minnesota and Chi
cago games are all the big propositions
that Michigan can handle. On good
authority it is stated that Michigan will
never again go East for a football
game.
Michigan attempted to get a foot
ball game with Harvard for last fall
said Prof. Pattengill of the Michigan
board of control. Harvard decided
that they did not want a big game as
early in the ear as they would have
to play against a Western team. An at
tempt to get games with Cornell also
failed. Eastern trips are so difficult. ex-
pensive and so much like professional
ism that games between the East and
the West are lot likely in the future.
The Michigan faculty is opposed to
them. There are more teams in the
West than a Western college can meet.
1t means much more to Michigan to
beat Chicago in football than to beat
Harvard"
About the only conditions under
which authorities at Michigan would
consent to a football game are a free
will-offer by Eastern colleges to play
a return game in the West.
Yale, Harvard and Princeton have
been after baseball games with Mich
igan this year, but the offers have not
been accepted.

I'm spite of what n would think

From some of the little railroad
towns hundreds of thousands of bush
els of corn are shipped each year. The
grain is shelled at the local elevators
and as there is little demand for the
cobs for fuel they are carried in q
spout to a place some distance from the
elevator and allowed to for q huge

are generally burned. A year or two
ago somebody discovered that they
made a pretty good walk and now they
are being utilized in many places.

great day for the poor of Rome, thou
sands of them being the guests Of the
pope at a dinner in the Belvidere court
of the vatican in honor of the pontiff's
jubilee. The tables were decorated with
towers and miniture papal flags. The
guests were waited upon by nuns and

kept order, their band playing during
the repast. The excellent menu includ-
ed wine and dessert. Great enthusiasm

but, although he vas well, the doctors
vetoed his desire in order that he might
husband his strength for the coming
functions.

DEATH OF FRANCIS HERMAN.

J. ]. Stewart of this city received a
telegram last Wednesday announcing
the death in New York City of Fran
els Tiernan, who, for a number of
years past, has been a well known
resident of Salt Lake. The cause of
mis- death is not known. The message
from his son, Robert Herman, simply
stated that his father died in the
morning, and would be buried at his
old home in Urbana, Ills.
Mr.. Tiernan was a pioneer railroad
builder. He was born in Urbana about
Sc years ago, and when but % years
of age built about fifty miles of the
|. B. & W. railroad. Later he moved
to Fort Scott. He built the Fort Scott
& Wichita line, and was president of
the road for some time In 1889 he
moved to Utah and organized the
Utah, Nevada & California Railroad
company, which purposed to build
line from Salt Lake through to the
western coast. During the times Of
depression this scheme failed.
Mr.. Tiernan was heavily interested
in coal lands in southern Utah. About
a year ago he went east. Mr.. Stewart
received a letter from him only a few
days ago, stating that he had been
unwell, but was all right again.
