Yost Is Trying Harvard.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 3.-"Hurry
Up Yost, the University of Michigan
football coach, arrived in Boston yes
terday enroute for Cambridge. Yost
is visiting Secretary Green of the Bos-
ton American league baseball team,
but one of his objects in coming to
Boston is to see the Harvard football
authorities at Cambridge and try to
arrange a football game between Ear-
ward and Michigan next fall. Yost
has already attempted to make ar
engagements for a game between
Michigan and Yale and Colum bia, but
has failed in both attempts. He said
on his arrival in Boston that he did
not have much hopes of arranging a
game with the Crimson. Both Yale
and Columbia have found it impossi-
BILE to make arrangements to play
Michigan owing to an already over
crowded schedule and I suppose that
it will be the same with Harvard, -

A Pumping Plant Is to Be Put
in Near lola.
Natural Gas Company Is Ne
gOtiating for Land.
THE CITIZENS OBJECT
VIII Make the Strongest Kind
of Opposition.
Feel That Only Promoters
VIII Make Money.

lola, Feb. S.-The Register says: The
Register has absolutely reliable infor-
nation that the Kansas Natural Gas
company is negotiating for land in Al
len county on which to build a pump
ing plant for its gas pipe line. The site
OF the proposed pumping plant is three
miles northwest of lola Agents of the
company have approached owners of
land and have asked them to name a
price The matter has been kept very
secret.
So far as is known this is the first
definite information concerning the &C.
cation of a pumping plant of the Kan
sas Natural Gas company The com
pany has been moving very cautiously
in the matter. Its methods are very
much like those of the Standard Oil
company. The bitter fight which is be-
ing made it in the gas belt has
taught it the wisdom of doing things
and talking about them afterwards. The
company Will need several pumping
stations to force its gas through the
miles of pipe which it is laying in kan
sas. This is the first definite informal
ton, so far as the Register knows, con-
corning the location of any one Of
them.
It is on the pumping proposition that
the people who are fighting the gas
piping so bitterly are now cOncentrat-
ing their efforts. Bills have been intro
duced into the legislature to prevent
the esta blishment of pumping plants.
Lawyers say that this is really the only
hope the anti-gas piping people have.
The theory that the gas piping people
have no right to use artificial means to
force the gas from any community has
some basis in law. Decisions of eastern
courts gack up the theory. 1t is pred
icated on this ground. The owner of
land has a right to all the wild animals
which may come to his place from the
same token, has a right TO their nat
ural flow but he has no right to employ
artificial means to increase the flow.
The people of the Kansas counties
who are now in Topeka fighting the
gas piping proposition are trying to Sc
cure the passage through the Iegisla-
ture of an anti-gas pumping measure.
The Kansas Natural Gas company
which is watching every move their on
eTnies are making, want to checkmate
this move if possible. So with that end

Toledo Manager Signs ''Red'' Calhoun,
But Fails to Get Pirate Pitchers.

Pittsburg, Feb. 3.-Manager Mike
Finn of the Toledo club of the Amer1-
can association spent yesterday and
last night in Pittsburg and will depart
for Toledo this morning. The object
of Firms visit was to have a talk with
Red" Calhoun. the we'll known local
baseball player, whom Toledo drafted
from the Haverhill club of the New
England league. Word had reached
the ears of Finn that Calhoun was
contemplating signing with the Har-
risburg independent team for next
season, having received a hattering
Fer from Manager Hamilton of that
club, under whom he played in Edaver-
hill last season. 1t took the Toledo
manager only a few minutes to con-
vince the auburn-haired Calhoun that
it would be to his advantage to tie up
with the Ohio Mud Hens and a con-
tract was duly signed.
During his stay in the city Finn call
ed on President Dreyfuss of the Pitts
burg club and tried to make a deal for
Pitchers Lindaman and Goodwin. but
did not succeed, as the owner of the
Pirates stated that the two young
twirlers will be taken to Hot Springs
in March and given an opportunity to
show what they can do.
President Dreyfuss informed Finn
that he had just received a letter from
Jack Gilbert the outfielder, sold by
Pittsburg to Toledo, in which the lit
tie fellow filed objections to the deal.

in view, they are rushing the establish
ment of their pumping plants.
The Register does not believe the
people of lola and Allen county want
any pumping station of the Kansas
Natural Gas company to be located in
this neighbOrhOod on general principles,
and it is understood steps viii be taken
to prevent the location of the pumping
plant in the county. The company viii
find itself up against a bitter fight, ac-
sording to expressions of people who
discussed the matter this morning. The
strongest kind of opposition will be
made to the plan.
One of the shrewdest business men in
Allen county said this morning: No
body will ever make a cent out of this
gas piping proposition except the pro-
meters. There won't be any money in
it There is no money to be made ont
of it. 1t isn't a good business PROPOSE
ton, and how men who have enough
sense to make money can be induced to
spend it on such a wild and wOolly
cannot conceive"

all heart trouble-the heart nerves-and
strengthens them and vitalizes them and

For the heart itself has no more self

to beat by a tender nerve 50 tiny that it
is scarcely visible to the naked eye. Yet
ten thousand times a day this delicate
nerve must cause the heart to expand and
contract.
The heart is about the size of your
clenched fist. Open and close your fist u
monstrous labor this little nerve must do.
The heart nerve is. only one Of the
branches OF the great sympathetic nerV-
Gus system. Each branch Of this system
is so closely allied with the others that

arises from stomach trouble through sym

ty, have organized an association to
assist the oil producers to secure rem

were adopted asking the legislature to
pass the bills providing a state re-
hnery. making all pipe lines common
carriers, preventing discrimination in
the prices of refined oil, and asking
an adjustment in freight rates.
This is the second Organization of

ences that have fortunately been over

Dear sirs:-
often in the night my wife had to
wake me up because I was almost
choking to death with catarrh. T had
one of the worst cases that was ever
known, and slxillful physicians said if
was chronic.
Fortunately a friend told me of
Hyomei, and I used this treatment
faithfully, and today am free from ca
tarrh. I used Hyomei perhaps five
times a day and could soon see a great
change. A complete outfit and an ex-
ira. bottle cured me. always carry
a Hyomei inhaler in my pocket, so as
to prevent any colds or slight catarrhal
of the year.
Yours FraternaIly,
Thomas Finchan, Putnam, Conn.,
IT is the easiest thing in the world
to cure catarrh or catarrhal colds if
YOU use Hyomei. Breathe its health
giving. baIsanic air for few minutes
and your catarrhal trouble Will soon
be cured.
The complete outfit costs but one dol
lar, and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the purse or vest pocket,
a medicine dropper, and bottle Of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime,
while extra bottles. if needed, can be
obtained for so cents. In Topeka there
are scores of well known people who
have been cured of catarrh by Hyomei.
If it does not help you, RowIey &
Snow, 600 Kansas avenue will return
your money in accordance with the
guarantee they give withr every outfit
