LANDLORD AND TENANT
The tenants right to remove fix.
tures.-Under what circumstance.
may a tenant, who has attached OF
affixed something to the real estate
during the term Of his tenancy, the
right to detach 1t and take 1t away
with him?
In the first place it is an invariable
rule, we belieYe, that where the right
exists at all it can net be exercised
after the tenants term has expired.
Ii exercised, it must be during his
term or Immediately at its close. Once
the tenants estate is ended he is In
the position of stranger and can not
claim right to enter for the purpose
of removing fixtures. This, of course,
aside from any agreement with the
landlord permitting him so TO do.
The time for removal may be extend.
cd. Merely being In possession does
not give the tenant the right to re.
move the articles. If the tenant holds
over the terms Of his lease without
the consent Of his landlord he can not
after his term expires, remove the ar.
ticles. During the term" means
during the time when he 10 rightfully

The main difficulty arising out of
the subject Is that of determining
what Is removable and what 10 not,
Formerly anything substantially affix.
ed to the real estate by the tenant
could not be taken away by him, the
law presuming that the tenant in-
tended the fixture to be permanent
improvement TO the property. The
cid law has been superseded by stat
utes aud decisions more favorable to
the tenant, as we shall see.
There are several tests applied by
the courts In settling questions of this
kind between landlords and tenants.
They are as follows:
First. Can the thing be removed
without injury to the property? II 1t

Third. Was it annexed for temper

MISSISSIPPI FLOOD

The annual rise of the old Mis-.
sissippi is now on. The river is
making the usual effort to break its
boundaries erected by man, and is
cutting quite swathe. 1t is to be
hoped that the levies will stand this
year and the indications now are
that they will. The waters have
spread over the low lands of Mis-.
souri, and much damage has re-
suited.

THE EDITORS ABROAD

The National E1itarial association
met at Guthrie, Oklahoma, last week.
There was . very large attendance
from almost every part Of the union.

hot as blue blazes, yet every ore
seemed to have good time.

are inclined to think the editors ere

Those eastern and southern fellows
had their eyes opened as to what
Oklahoma really is. The people of that
splendid young city threw open their
homes to the visitors and the lack Of
hotel accommodation was forgotten
in the generous treatment by the
citIzsns of Guthrie. The meeting
was voted q success and after its close

We were then given seats 10 tho vast

The seats were arranged in circular

Another little matter has come up to trouble the waters in the Washing ton pool, says our Washington cores pondent. For months we have been all at sea over the railroad rate ques- tion. For some time the Interstate Commerce commission has been going along ordering roads to change rates and charge others, declaring one rate as being excessive and another as dis eliminating, but now comes a judge out in Chicago who says that the de crees or orders of the commission are not binding on the roads and that the commission cannot compel rail- roads to obey it's rulings. This decis- ion. of the court is causing no little comment, especially among members of congress. It is claimed that by this ruling the commission is robbed of nearly all the power it thought it pos sessed And is left ln a sadly crippled condition. In view of the canal, the Isle of Pines and the ruling of the Chicago judge. It is no mistake to say that Washington is in a sort of hub bub."

Congress assemblies very shortly, but this year will not be a bearish factor, says Banker Clews. The prospects are that little important legislation will be accomplished in the coming session. No doubt a regulatory railroad bill will be passed, but it's provisions are not likely to be so drastic as at one time feared. As for the tarif ques- tion. the ''stand-patters". are in control, and that will be let aloHe unless possi- bly to make certain concessions to the Philippines. There is some expectation that a subsidy bill will be passed. also that Panama canal bonds will be made available as a basis for bank circula- ton, which would aid the money mar ket. If legislation to this extent is &C., complished during the coming winter, it is all that can be reasonably expect ed, and this means no disturbance to Wall street interests. Under such cir cumstances a good trading market may  be expected until the new year opens, even if a general rise is deferred until the money market is out of danger. The pools, however. seem quite able to mark up their speclalties at will, SO that interesting developments may be looked for in these quarters. Their policy appears to be to take a single stock at a time, thus imposing less strain upon the money market and avoiding a check from that source. Quite likely there will be some free and well concealed liquidation, expos ing the market to sharp setbacks, espe- cially as there is not sufficient short interest at present to be an element of support. This means that we are in for a fuctuating market during the next few weeks. Later on. however, considerable buying may be expected to provide for January 1st interest and dividend disbursements.

HEARD IN PASSING

The superintendent of buildings in New York is mindful of some things that were said of him and his depart ment last spring, when buildings crumbled down because of frozen ce- ment in the walls. He told his inspec- tors on Thursday that if wall in pro cess of construction this winter be- comes frozen they must tear it down, or make the owner wait until the wall has thawed thoroughly and taken its proper bond.
 Manning, Tarbell, Odell and Platt unite in telling of contributions which Mccall, Missionary McCurdy and De pew denied under oath. The poodle fund which Mccall and McCurdy ae- nied has been proved New York s junior senator has again been convict ed of falsehood. The situation calls not so much for amendment of the law as for its prompt and vigorous en- forcement. If Mfr Hughes has finished with McCurdy, Mccall, Hyde, Depew, Hartman and Odell, let Mir Jerome begin.-New York World.
 Mir Howell has announced that he will take the stump in January and has invited Hoke Smith to, meet him in joint debate. It is stated that the invitation has been accepted Some time ago Mir Smith gave Mir Howell just about such an invitation as that which Mir Howell has given Mir Smith, but the former wasn't ready at that time to begin his campaign. He ! thought it was too soon to begin active campaigning. He will be ready in January. however, and then we may expect lively times in Georgia's politi- | cal field.-Sayannah News.
 In connection with Mir Tarbell's tes- ! timony before the insurance investiga. ton committee yesterday, it may be | recalled that at the last session of the legislature Assemblyman Hornidge l (Tammany, x. Y.,) introduced a meas ure ito prevent an officer of a life in- snrance company from becoming inter ested directly or indirectly, as a stock holder or otherwise, in the perform aHee of any contract or business. the expense price of which is payable from the treasury of the insurance com pany."

CONNECTS MUTINY
Missouri State Prison Out break Caused Five Deaths.
DEPUTY, WARDEN FATALLY WOUNDED
Desperate Men Blew Up Jail Gate and Got Free-Engaged In Rum ming Flight With Guards, and
 Three Were Killed.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Nov. 25.- Eight or ten convicts at the state peni tentiary here suddenly mutinied and shot Guards Barney Ellis and Charles Clay, killing them instantly. The sud. .denness of the. outbreak temporarily paralyzed prison discipline, and before any attempt to subdue the convicts could be made the mutineers had ex. ploded dynamite under the prison gate leading out into the public street.
 Conyicts Harry Vaughn, Charles Ray, mond. Hiram Blake, George Ryan and Eli Ziegler, who were working close in, side the prison gate, having secured pistols, entered Deputy Warden R. D Sees office and shot him in the arm and hip as he sat in chair. He sank back helpless, and the convicts rushed to the gate, where they met Gateman John Clay, who, being alarmed by the shots fired at See. opened the gate to look inside. Before Clay could raise his weapon he was shot dead.
 Then as if to signal the convicts gen. orally that an attempt to escape had been started the convicts rang the gate bell and then rushed through the gate, dragging CIay's body with them. They slammed the gate shut and fastened il while Ziegler was ringing the bell, and he was left inside.
 ., The four eonyIcts were then in the wagon entrance to the penitentiary. This entrance is forty feet long and fifteen feet wide. It leads to the public street through a second double gate of steel. which was locked. The conyicts placed an explosive under the outside gate and blew an opening through the steel doors. The four men crawled through this rupture and dashed through a number of ''trusty" convicts who were working in the street.
 Almost before the four escaped con, victs had covered block prison officers were in pursuit, shooting as they ran. Pedestrians jumped behind trees, ran into houses and crouched down behind any obstacle that presented refuge from the bullets that caused almost a panic in the street Several men seized weapons and joined the prison officers in the pursuit. The chase kept on for a dozen blocks. the convicts outrunning their pursuers.
 When the guards overlook the escap- ing desperadoes a battle ensued. and three of the eonvicts were shot dead, the fourth escaping into the heavily wooded country. Posses formed imme- diately and began a search through the woods, determined to take the convict dead or alive.

wouId Break Up the Empire

MOSCOW, Nov. 25.-A sharp division of sentiment on the question of Polish autonomy cropped out at the session of the zemstyo congress which was devot- ed to the consideration of the Polish problem. Over fifty speakers demand cd to be heard on the question, and, while the majority of them sympa- thized with the request of the Poles for the abrogation of martial law, many were opposed to autonomy, looking up- on it as the first step toward the break ing up of the empire.

hungry constituent in an office. and we set up claim to the island. An island is of no earthly use without people, at least it would be no good place for an office holder, so a plan to colonize it was originated, and the war department sent forth a glowing circular to prove that the Isle of Pines was truly and really the blessed isle" sung of in fable. Americans are a gushing and impulsive people, so there was rush for the. Isle of Pines, the land was bought up, towns start ed, and the festive politician had an opening. A change now came over the administration dream.

It is a pity that money collected in
 fines from motorists cannot be spent on road improvements. It would en- able the scorchers to "give up'' with better grace. In Great Britain last year an average of $50 on every ear, or a total of s1,5O0,0OO, was collected in fines. Here the average would hardly be as high, but the total must be greater and it would do quite lit tie in the line of highway betterment.

Passengers Taken From Stranded
 Steamer ArEo Near Holland.
 HOLLAND, Mich, Nov. 25-After four women, a little girl and eighteen men passengers had been rescued from the stranded steamboat Argo by a brooches buoy near here the line on which the buoy travelled broke. leaving seven men. with a crew of twenty-two, still on the vessel and in imminent dan ger of drowning. Fortunately the line broke when the buoy was being hauled back to the boat for another passenger.
 The life saving crew realized the peril of the situation and took to their surfboat in a desperate effort to reach the steamer.
 Owing to the beayy sea which was rolling it was impossible for the life saving crew to reach the steamboat, and the passengers and crew could only be taken on in the brooches buoy. They were in great peril.
 When it was decided to remove the endangered passengers with brooches  buoy a life saving crew dragged 6 can non to the beach and fired a line across the rough water to the Argo. It was made fast on the vessel and then the breeches buoy was sent out The per sons brought ashore first were Mrs. P. J. Emiskern. Mrs. C. Johnson and Mfrs. ". T. Conan and little daughter of Big Rapids. Mich. and Mrs. C. ". Earl of Chicago
 After their safe arrival male psssen- ssugers were one by one drawn to the beach until the line broke. The pss- sengerz retained their self possession througnout the experience There was nOthiaz Ike a panic at any time after the steamer struck
