SALOONS AND SUBSTITUTES.

The liquor question is not in politics
in Iowa and is not likely TO be soon in a
general way, tho local efforts are con-
stantly being made 10 open breach in
the prohibitory law IN arder TO permit
the operation of mulct saloons. Each
town and city has an opportunity 10
open or exclude them. Ii is in the cities
that the saloons afford a study of their
effect upon the lives Of the people.
Hence, young student of social ques-
tons, Robert Aston Stevenson. at
1empts to present in the May scribner
an impartial study OF saloons in a great
city. He has looked at them as a very
real element in the life of the masses.
and has shown by anecdote, incident
and personal observation their good fea-
lures and their bad features. On the
saloon as a social factor he observes
that
From the standpoint of curb expert

TITLE BY ADVERSE POSSESSION

TITLE BY ADVERSE POSSESSION
RAILROADS.
Certain parties entered upon and oc-
cupfed for more than five years a por-
ton of the right of way granted to tho
Central Pacific Railroad Company by
an act Of congress-. One of the defend-
ants. in addition to the open, notorious
and exclusive possession and occupan-
cy, had paid the taxes thereon. In an
action by the railroad company to re-
cover possession of the premises, 1t was
decided, by the supreme court of Cali
fornia. that railroad right of way Is
such public use as TO prevent the rum
ming of the statute of limitations or the
acquisition of adverse title thereto by
prescription-Paci Reporter, April II,
1901.
INSURANCE POLICIES-SuICID
In an action to recover the amount OF
policy of insurance, the defense of gu
icide, to avail the company, must show
that every reasonable hypothesis of ac-
cidental death is excluded by the evil
.dence. The insured on two occasions
took opiates, which caused him to be i'll.
but it does not follow tina! they were
taken with suicidal intent. Nor does the
fact that the insured was alone, and
was found dead from gunshot wound,
which may have been accidentally in
sflicted, necessarily raise the presump-
5tion of self destruction.-South Re
porter. April 10.
LIABILITY OF MASTER FOR SERV-
ANTS ACTS.
A driver OF beer wagon, after deliv-
sering beer to a customer of the brewery,
called the following day TO collect the
price, and, az 1t was not forthcoming,
proceeded to take matters into his own
hands and enforce payment by resort
to violence. A ruleor the brewing COM
pany required the driver to return eth
or cash or the beer. and in case of fall
ure to do either. the amount short would
be deducted from hie salary. 1t was
held, in Louisiana, in an action by the
aggrieved customer against the com
pnny for damages for the assault and
battery. that the driver exceeded the.
bounds of his employment. acted with
malice, and that the company was no.
liable Southern Reporter, April 10.
