PURCHASER HOLDS TITLE.
Judge shirns Decides n Case of Long
Standing in Dickinson County
Against HOmestenders,

Judge Shiras decided case in Du.
buque of long standing in the courts.
1t was that of Jesse Britt and John
Britt VS.. John Meisterling. The ac-
ton is one to quiet title to realty
in Dickinson county. the dispute aris-
ing out of the rcadiustment of the
land grant in aid of the Sioux City
& st. Paul Railway company. The
plaintiffs claim their right upon the
homestead settlement laws and the
defendant upon his purchase from
the railroad in good faith. The
plaintiffs claim that the land does
not fall within the limit of the grant,
but as the land department has set
tied that question the court cannot
investigate it. and the only matter
of dispute left for the courts deci-
sion is which party has prior right to
the land. Meisterling bought the
land from the company in 1887, pay
ing $1,000 per acre, and the complains
ants entered in possession of the
land and resided thereon continuous
ly from 1890. The court holds that
Meisterling was an innocent pur-
chaser Of the land. and therefore is
entitled to enter into possession of
the land

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.
Association Will Endeavor to
Increase the Memb erxh
Especial CORRESPONDENTS


B. Pitt Wood, of Cherokee, has been
elected president of the Rural Mail
Carriers association of Iowa. He will
devote the next year to increasing the
membership of the association. The
order of the president declaring it an
offense for members of the classified
civil service to move for the advance
ment of their own wages has discour-
aged the association somewhat. 1t
was organized two years ago when the
mail carrying system for the country
was inaugurated and when the salary
of the carriers was pittance on
which it was impossible to subsist the
horse necessary to carry the route.
The carriers got the salary advanced
to 5000 year, but even this does not
compensate them, for the routes are
from rs to 40 miles long and it takes
from two to four horses to carry it.
With corn at 40 and GO cents there is
no money in the position and the car
riers desire an advance. When the SUBJ
ject was preached at the recent con-
vention, however, President Wood
warned the carriers that the subject
was one which they were not at liberty
to discuss in open meeting and assured
them that their wages would go up
eventually to the basis on which city
carriers are now paid. This assurance
has been conveyed to the carriers by
the members of the Iowa delegation
in congress.

A DISAPPEARING RACE.
The Lapps Are Said to BE Dying on
ut n Very Rapid
Rate.

The i4apps are decreasing in num-
bers. lie most sanguine estimate of
the number of the entire race in Nor
way, Sweden and Russia does not
place them above $4,000, and the num-
Der has been placed far lower bv
very competent authority, says Corn.
hill Magazine. In Norbotten the num-
Der of Lapps in 1897 was 1875, of
whom $500 were nomad Lapps and
SIS We're settled Lapps, since GER
tain number of Lapp families, aban-
donlng their wandering habits, have
built liked habitations here and
there, and endeavored, with more or
less success, to initiate the life of
the Swedish settler. That the race
must eventually die out is certain,
and its diminution may be very
speedy, though it's complete extinc-
ton is perhaps still far off, since there
is no other race that can possibly
take Its place in the high reindeer
fall. Yet even here we come upon
factor which has, l think, hardly
been reckoned with. l mean the de-
crease of the herds of tame rein
deer. This has been going on in the
last quarter of century with strik-
ing rapidity. In one district alone
in the last II years the reindeer have
diminished from an estimated $4,000
to an estimated 1000. This decrease
is explained variously. The commons
est and most plausible explanation,
which carries the authority of men
we'll qualified to judge, is that the
demand for reindeer flesh, which has
been brought nearer to the Lapps by
the opening of the Bothnian railway,
has tempted them to part with their
deer at a rate too rapid for their pro-
duction. The herds of reindeer, when
they are taken off the high fall down
to the winter quarters, are now with
in four or five days of Stockholm,
and there is good demand for rem
deer flesh. 1t is said that the Lapp,
who is no more able to resist strong
drink than any other half-civilized
man, is piled freely with brandy, and in
that state will part with his rein
deer for tritiing sum, or even for
fresh bottle of spirits or two. And
he goes back to his fall stripped of
half his herd, and with nothing to
show fer it. But have heard another
cause also alleged, and that by equally
good authorities. 1t is said that
Swedish state education is having
upon The Lapps the effect which not
uncommonly follows the early stages
of learning. Every autumn Swedes
and Lapps alike send down their chill
dren to the nearest national school,
where they remain for the winter
months, the Lapps in most cases hav-
ing ''seminaries' to themselves. And
it is declared that, in the case of
both races alike, after a few wears
of this training the young genera
ton, when it comes to the ace of
choosing it's way of life, shows an un.
willingness to return to the hard out,
door ife of the homes in the in
terror.

The weekly crop report of the Wash

Week cooler than usual but mostly
clear; reports from thrashers indicate
poor quality of oats and heavy total
loss; spring wheat in better condition
but considerably damaged; corn has
made fairly good progress, but ripen-
ing process is greatly retarded by ex-
tremely wet and cold condition of the
soil; probably two-thirds of crop may
be safe by goth, but balance will need
ten days longer; fall apple crop good.
