.,r certain senatorial candidates
 1-nitad States Senator Dietrich is s,iu at his home in Hastings and his ,trorney. John c. Cowin. states today tbot he could not tell when the sena- tor would appear in court.
 Senator Dietrich has been indicted for accepting a hribe for his influence In the appointment of the postmaster of Hastings and has been charged yyith having used his influence to se ore removal of the postoffice. Re ,5rding the latter the report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow says:
 At Hastings. Neb.. on May l, 1S97. lease was made for postoffice premises for period of five years. including lioht heat vault. and equipment, at an annual rental of $7O0 per annum. Tn March the lessor was notified that ,ha lease would be cancelled on June gD almost a year before it's eXpirat ation. Shortly after this a proposal was ac- rented for another building no more desirable at a rental of S1,SOO per an- rum A most vigorous protest was filed against this action of the depart ment by those interested in the can celled lease. and the matter was refer red to an inspector for inestigation. who. on April r. 1901. reported as follows.
 Viewed from the standpoint usually assumed by the postoffice department in the treatment of lease cases. and eliminating all questions of personal interest. I am unable to conceive what possible representation could have been made to the department in this case to result in the entertainment and acceptance ot the proposition of Mr Dietrich at the price named CS1, 500 per annum). The proposition is exorbitant, and the location one that if in competition with other proposi- tions offering central locations at two-thirds the price asked could not conscientiously be considered.
 As a result of this report the price for the new site was reduced to $1,- 900 per annum. with the proviso that the department should pay for nov ing and installing the equipment and nrovide heat and light. The office was moved at an expense to the depart ment of s746.

Lake Bottom Lands.

An important decision was handed
down lasI week by the Supreme Court,
! in case, in which Natchitochians are
materially interested, and it is one that
has attracted much attention not only in
North Louisiana, but throughout the
whole State.
1t was in the case of A. Katie vs.. j.
NJ. Smith, Register Of the State Land
Office, represented by Breazeale & Brea-
zeale, and the decision of the lower
court was affirmed,
The suit was based on the effort of the
plaintiff to force the register to allow
him to enter large tracts lying in De
Soto & CaddO parishes known as over
flowed and lake bottom lands Appli-
cations for the lands had been made by
persOus who wanted them for actual
settlement, but there was then no law
under which the homestead entries could
be made. However the applicants took
possession, and are now cultivating the
lands, but there is law now covering
the case.
The decision is as follows:
"Conficting claims for the purchase
of State public lands between persons
claiming to be actual settlers on the land
and other persons applying for the pur-
chase # the land, must be passed on in
the first instance by the register of the
State Land Office in contest establish |
ed before him III the form prescribed by |
law; and the discretion with which the |
register is vested by law for the decision |
OF such a contest cannot be controlled |
bv mandamus
''In case the register refuses to Cnter-
tain the contest on the ground that the
lands i'll question are not subject to pur-
chase, that question can come up on APP
peal from his decision to the courts"
