Recent Supreme Court Decision Set
ties the Title to 90, 900 Acres
in Dispute.

Title to nearly $4,000 acres of land in
Obrien and Dickinson counties, Iowa, is
affected by a decision rendered by the
supreme court OF the United States in the
case Of Elmiro Nepper versus John A.
Sands, which was tried in Sioux City and
appealed. The supreme court decides
the case in favor of the homestead set
tiers on the land, as against the persons
who purchased the same land from the

The supreme court of the United States
holds in substance that the railroad COM
pany did not earn the lands because 1t

holders have arranged to receive visit
ors. These houses are in every section
of the city, and the rates at which
guests will be received is a matter of
record ON the books of the bureau.
The Inside inn, hotel on the Ex-
position grounds, has a capacity for
5000 guests. The Exposition manage
ment has control Of the rates, which
have been fixed at from $1.50 to $3.50
per day, European plan, including adj
mission to the grounds. On the Amer
lean plan the rates range from So to SIS
per day. The hotel is 400 by 800 feet
and is three stories high.
There are more than $50 established
hotels in st. Louis and a signed agree
ment has been made between many Of
their managers with the Exposition Of
fcials that rates shall not be raised
| during the Exposition period. Many
| new hotels have been built on sites adj
jacent to the Exposition grounds, and
the published fixed rates warrant the
assertion that no one need pay exor-
b1tant rates for modations either
at hotels or private houses.
Among the new hotels may be men
toned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte,
which stands at Clayton avenue and
skinker road, overlooking the EXPOSE
ton grounds. This hostelry will ac-
commodate 5000 persons. The rates,
European plan, are from 81 to SIS per
day. The Grand View hotel, south Of
the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, has
capacity for 5000 guests, and the
rates are 81 to $3.50 per day, European,
and So to $3.50 per day on the Amer
lean plan. The Kenilworth, on West
Park boulevard and Billion avenue, has
| capacity of 1900 guests, with rate
Of $1.50 per day.
The above mentioned are few Of the
new hotels that have been erected near
the Exposition grounds for the accom-
mediation Of Worlds Fair visitors. All
told there are about twoscore. All are
within easy walking distance, and all
are situated on high ground, with COM
prehensive views of the grounds. All
Of the structures are well built, and in
some Of them the most luxurious quar-.
| ters are obtainable. The rates IRE es.
tablished and will not be increased dur.
ing the Exposition.
