TURNING THEN OUT.
DES MONIES RIVER LAND SETTLERS
. To he DRIVEN FROM HONE.
The Settler. WIN Have to Go.


Considerable excitement was created Mt
Fort Dodge when it became known that
despite the efforts to keep ii secret the Des
Moines River Land company and its
agents We're preparing to make things
warm, for the hardy settlers occupying the
nationally celebrated river lands. and who
refuse to evacnate their farms al the com
mand Of the company. United States
Marshal Desmond, Of Clinton. was in that
city early in the week and has been at
work quietly procuring writs OF ejectment
On iiiie tenants at the Iitchfield lands.
These will I've served hi the Immediate m
ture by the marshal's. force and large
corps Of deputies who are now III that city
for that purpose. These will be followed
by wholesale eyictlons ON all other lands.
Within the present month steps will
be taken to see that lands are not again
occupied by the settlers. This creates
great CONSERVATION as many settlers
have spent their all contesting the
title to the land, and if turned out with
their families at the commencement Of
winter must look to charity for support.
SO strong has been the conviction Of thu
average settler that the land he settled
npon. improved. and, in some eases. Sc
cured government patent for is his be-
yond a shadow of II doubt, that in most
every case there has been more OF less
trouble when tile time came for him to
leave ut the behest of the river land COM
pany. Tor u number of wears very little
has been done toward forcing out the OBJ
stinate tenants. but of late the company
has been growing impatient and now
proposes TO esict every settler along the
Des MONIES river who has not settled mat
tiers or abandoned the farm. Whatever
the rights of the matter may be the com
pany has the law on it's side anu it looks
as though the settlers would have to go.
but the present proceedings are heartily
condemned by all as most inhuman.

The new chief justice seems to be reyo-
lutionizing things at the supreme court.
As the lawyers on each side are allowed
two hours for argument, and the court sits
but four, the limit of the argument is
never reached. and the calculations have to
be made by the clerk. The way in which
the new chief justice is rushing things.
however, is putting all calculations at
fault, and the clerk has now to frequently
telegraph lawyers whose cases were not to
be reached until December that they are
likely to reached in three or four days.

these: On the assumption that the house
at Mollendo belonged to the Arequipa rail-
way and was therefore the property of the
state. orders were given TO occupy it by
force, although the building was declared to
belong to citizen of the United States.
The United States consulate was situated
in the building and this was forcihly

against the seizure of the house on receipt

between the United States and Peru, rs

Minneapolis millers are engaged in
forming milling trust to meet the pres
ent overproduction. Propositions have
been made to Milwaukee millers to enter
into combination and shut down their
mills long enough to allow the oyerstock
to be worked off. The proposition was
not made direct. but came through MIR.
Freeman, of Lacrosse. At IA meeting held
the other afternoon J. b. Kerr was in
man and say that the Milwaukee millers
would consider any straight-cut PROPOSE
ton. In spite OF the inference which
might be drawn from the instructions il is
not very likely that the Milwaukee millers
will enter the trust. They aliege that the
present trouble was brought on by the
Minneapolis millers buying wheat at big
prices and manufacturing it into -four.
Now that the market is gntted they want
the Milwaukee men 10 come to their re-
lief. The -four trade is stagnant," said u
prominent miller. There has been an
overproduction. Little -four, compaln-
lively, is being bought. The present
price is all right. but it is hard to sell.
There is no chance for export trade be-
cause wheat here is SO high and ocean
freights have advanced. Pie course of
the Minneapolis millers during the recent
wheat corner has done much to bring
about the present state of the market.
They have been manufacturing at the rate
of from 900 to 1S5.000 barrels a day.
Now they don't know what to do with it..
They are in hole and will have to get ont
