Coach Yost of Michigan, is very
versatile. If he can't make his foot
ball varlets set there in one way he
tries another. Yost began his career
as q tutor in the art of manning with
out killing back in 1897 at Ohio Wes-
leyan. Yes, Yost once coached the
Methodist co1legians at Delaware, and
in that same year Yost beat the Mich
igan eleven that he now trains-that
is, he beat an eleven representing the
Wolverines
This is how it was: Yost had fin
ished his course at the University of
West Virginia in 1896. He went to
Delaware. Yost had a fair eleven so
he took them up to Ann Arbor.

CREDIT BELONGS TO TRAINER
Or. Daniel Luby, Ex-PennsyiVania
Player, Doing Splendid Work
With Missouri Team.

The Missouri rooters are willing to
give credit to the trainer, DR.. Daniel
F. Luby, the x-Pennsylvania player
who was brought from the East this
year to keep the players in good
physical condition, for the splendid
showing made by the team this sea-
son. In the games played thus far on
Rollins field the effect of the new
rules in lessening the number of in
turies has not been noticeable. Play
has been stopped and time taken out
for minor injuries just as frequently
this season as In previous years, says
the Kansas City Star. But the rooters
have noticed that nearly always 1t
was a member of the opposing team
although it was heavier and stronger
team-who called for time out. Some
weeks ago Doctor Luby first appeared
on the field and since that time the
Tigers have met Iowa, Ames and
Oklahoma. Each one of these con-
tests was a gruelling struggle for the
team, yet there isn't team in the
Missouri Valley, perhaps, that is in
better physical condition as a whole.

soUATTERs ON WRONG LAND.
Men Anticipating Homestead Rights
 Forced to Move.

Paragould Squatters continue to give land owners i'll this section great deal of trouble. Ed Newcomb, an aged farmer, and Charley Brooks, were each fined %l0 in justice court for nov ing on farms owned by Alexander, Amberg X Co., Neither had the money to pay the fine, and in consequence are laying it out in the county jail.
 The sQuatters seem to think all the land along St. Francis and Bagwell lakes belongs to the government and that in the near future 1t will be open ed to homestead. When they find a tenement house vacant they move into it, thinking they will ultimately be- come the owners of the property. There is some government land in this sec tion that will be subject to homestead entry in the near future, but it hap> pens that most of the squatters have made the mistake of getting on land owned by individuals and then refuse to yaeate until haled into court and fined
 Land owners do not care to have any trouble with these men and would not prosecute if there was any other way to get them off the land, but when a sat refusal meets a notification to va. cate there is no other recourse than to apply for relief under the law.

Negro Heirs Win Land Title.

After having been without title tc bit of property for more than 20 years, Abbie Hill, a negress, and the other heirs of John Hill, have, by decision of Chancellor Martineau. been given title to about 40 acres of land between Little Rock and Sweet Home, the property having been used by Pu- laski county and the city of Little Rock as the site of the smallpox house. The suit was won for the heirs by Judge George L. Basham.
 About 30 years ago, John Hill, ne gro who did not possess a sound mind, purchased the property. It was al legged in the complaint that Hill did not possess enough intelligence to carry on the ordinary business affairs of life and in 1888 the property was sold for the nonpayment of taxes.
 The property was, bought by R. W. Martin for $5.35, and about three years later he went into the chancery court and had the tax title confirmed.
 About the year 1893 Martin brought suit in ejectment against Hill, but the old negro never dld move OH tue property. About II years ago Martin sold the property to the city and Pu- laski county for pest house purposes and still the old negro continued to live on one corner of the property.
 At the death of Hill, his heirs de- cided that they would redeem the propertly, and under the decision of the cour. they have that right. The decision means that the heirs of an in, sane person still have the right to re- deem property even after the death of the original owner.
 The city and county eontended, as well as the Little Rock Granite Com pany, that company having quarried much granite from the place, that the right to redeem the property ended when Hill died They also contended that the right to redeem was killed when the suit in ejectment was brought.
 The court, however, sustained the contention of the negro heirs in every particular. The ease will probably be carried to the supreme court.

OLDFIELD' PLAN APPROVED
Educational Department Finds Reve-
 nues Would be Increased

Ofhelals of the state educational de. partment are heartily in favor of the plan advanced by Congressman Will Oldfeld of the Second Congressional district, which is that the federal gov ernment donate to the state all the government land within its borders no, otherwise disposed of and that same be located and sold, the proceeds to be held as a permanent common school fund
 Officials of the department estimate that this would bring in revenue of at least $4,O000OO, and that this amount, invested in well-secured bonds. would easily net the state $15O, ,OO0 an nually.
 At present the state has a permanent school fund about 1,130,000 invested in state bonds at 3 per cent From this the common school fund derives an nually over $34,000.
 When it is remembered that the total amount collected for common school purposes from the 3-mill state tax is less than $S50,000, it is seen what a valuable addition the $l5O,000 deriva- ble from the sale of the government lands in Arkansas would be.
 Congressman Oldfeld has written Superintendent Cook regarding his measure, and is sanguine that he will be able to secure favorable considera- ton of it by the House of Representa- tives.
