Rent Tor Made Land.

The st. Louis courts have recently
decided case of no little interest to
the dwcllers on the banks of rivers
where new land is likely to be made.
Mrs. Anna r. Allen owns 145 acres of
land at the point where the river Des
Peres enters the Mississippi, and she
leased it to the ST. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and Southern. Later seventy-tive
acres was added to this tract by ac-
cretions from the Mississippi. The
company has transfer at this point
and was compelled to cross the new
land in transferring cars. 1t, how
ever, refused to pay rent for the land
embraced in the new formation, on
the ground that it was not embraced
in the lease. Judge Dillon held that
the accretions had become part of
the original tract, and, inasmuch as
the company had used the land, it was
liable for rent. The land was valued
by experts at $3.50 per acre, and iudg-
ment was given against the railroad
upon the basis of six per cent. on this
valuation. New Orleans Picayune.

The council held a meeting last Tues
day at which time the question Of
granting a license to billiard halls was
brought up. Dick Hanlln and James
Henry were DESTROYS of getting licen-
ses. Hanlin was granted one, but some
of the council kicked on Henry, as
they thought he wanted to run the
billiard hall as a "cover" to a joint.
Be that as it may, the joint question
was up and the board past bad quar-
ter of an hour in summing up the ills
and advantages of the liquor business.
Some are in favor of letting them run
and some for shutting them up. They
finally adjourned without taking any
definite action. Joints or no joints
there is always whisky to be had for
the money, here in GoOdland, and many
people believe the city authorities

provisions and money.
The people of the Goodland circuit
are poor, but they have large hearts.

all points of the political compass, aud
