TIE TROUBLE ABOUT HOUSES.

During the whole season there has been
a general complaint about the great lack of
houses to rent for prices ranging from $12
to $25. The want of such houses has been
very inconvenient and is so even
to the present time. Still it
must be admitted that the difficulty has
been partially remedied by the chances
that poor men have had offered to them
by real estate dealers to build their own
houses and by some building and loan
associations who erect houses and sell the
lots and houses on small monthly pay
ments. A short time ago Messrs. Bacon &
Stone opened up what they call Oakville
Park, tract of land north of Arlington
Hills, and within reasonable distance of
the Harvester works, Nelson's lumber yard
and Seventh street. The lots in this addi-
ton were put at such reasonable prices
that poor men were able to buy lots and
put up small houses. The consequence is
that the whole tract is being covered with
dwellings erected by this class of people.

An action to determine the heirs of the late

consists of an unpaid Judgment for 100000
for injuries sustained. Mr.. Armes has filed

forty-ono other people living in South Caro-
lima, Florida, and Arkansas, who havo set up
claims as heirs. Tho late Mr.. Du Bose be-
came insane pending his suit, and died in st.
Eizabeth's hospital July A, $780, Mr.. Armes
states in his bill that before Mr.. Du Bosses
death, while he was poverty stricken and in
need of assistance, he spoke of brothers resid-
ing in South Carolina, but when complainant
wrote TO them they profered no relief. Tho
statements of the deceased about the brothers
were somewhat conflicting. Though but three
kin5men sOuld be found before death, since
his death and the award of II Judgment in his
favor tho kinsmen have multiplied very
rapidly. Mr. Armes asks that these claimants
be required to como into court and establish

PRESCRIPTION BY TAXATION.

Several of the States that have found the
attempt to enforce prohibition liquor laws,
rs well as other States and cities that have
only discussed the problem, are now resort
ing to a high license on limited time. Miss
ouri, as State, has adopted this theory i'm
law passed n few days ago. Ohio. Nebras-
ka and Iowa, are among the States resorting
TO this policy. Chicago has doubled her IL
cense in expectation OF running out two or
three hundred doggeries. 1t Is claimed that
high license Immediately decreases the
numbers. Under the prohibition law in
Kansas the effect Of high license would be
TO drive the little saloon keepers into fight
against the big, and more fortunate saloon
keepers. II would result iu fight OF whis-
Ky men against whiskey men, so long as the
prohibition law stands. In other States,
Council Bluffs proposes TO exact n fee Of
$500. Ottumwa and Charlton have already
fixed upon 81, ZOO. Waterloo is wavering
between $500 and 500. Fort Dodge charges
$500 and the number OF saloons has been cut
down from % to 8; Humboldt has few sa-
looms at 500 each Jefferson has only two
and charges them 81 900 each; Creston has
eight, with the highest fee Of all, 81 200; and
Boone expects to limit her saloons TO five.
