COST HIM HIS HOUSE.

Mistake of a Minnesota Farmer Who
Built n Home on Another Mans Lot.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 20.-The SUI
preme court of Minnesota decided
that a man who builds house on
another's lot has no claim to the house
nor can he enforce lien against the
lot for its value. This affirms the
decision of the lower court in
the case of Coleman Bridgeman,
who erected a house on what he
thought was his lot, but which
belonged to neighbor. He was re-
fused permission to move his house to
his own property, and the lower court
which adjudicated the case declared
he had no right or title to the house,
as it became part of his neighbours
lot when erected on it.

COAL PRICES TO GO UP.

In Order to Meet Miners Demands Opera
tors VIII Raise ST,OOO,OOO by n Sweep
Ing Increase.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-When the coal
operators and the miners concluded
their conference in Chicago on Wednes-
day night the miners were $1,000, 900
ahead, and the peace that lowered
was beautiful to behold, The re-
suit was chronicled as the greatest
victory in the history of organized la
Dor. Now it appears that the opera
tors have not forgotten themselves in
passing around the good things, for
on April they will push up the whole
sale price of coal 25 cents at least and
perhaps more. That increase, it is
figured, will more than recoup the
operators for the $7,OOO,OOO outlay to
appease the miners.

Senators Mason and Butler VIII prafta Bill
to Submit to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The senate
committee on post offices and post
roads yesterday had under considera-
ton the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing
the scheme of postal savings banks in
the United States. The discussion was
general and the only conclusion
reached was that Senator Mason and
Butler should prepare bill which can
be used as base for future delibera-
tions. A communication was read
from Postmaster General Gary making
suggestions regarding the details of
the legislation proposed. He stated
that, in his opinion. the tendency is to
make the interest rate too high. He
thought rate too low preferable to
one too high, and suggested two per
cent. as prudent and reasonable rate.

Strange Things Pneumatic.

This is the age of things pneumatic
A st. Louis man has invented a rubber
cloak which can be transformed into a
mattress by blowing it up. Everything
is blown up nowadays. A patent has
been granted for kind of cap which,
being blown up, may be made to serve
as pillow at night or as life pre-.
server in case of shipwreck. This is %
most convenient thing to travel with
on the ocean. There Is also life pre-.
server corset. Better than any Of these,
however. is a peculiar buoyant fabric
devised by German. 1t is interviewer
with the quilts of geese or other birds
and is intended for wearing apparel or
for Innings. So light is 1t that a person
on a voyage, If clad in suit or dress
of it, may be sure of floating in case Of
disaster or falling overheard.
