HOW THE ALDERMEN RECLAIMED
ALLEY FOR THE CITY.
Barn Stood on the Ground Twenty
Years, and So the Title Held, But
Street Opening Proceedings Made the
Benefits Equal to the Damages and
Woman Lost Out.

To gain title to real estate by ad,
verse possession is a cheap way to get
land, and usually it is safe way, but
not always. A case in point is sup
piled by the proceedings in the ely
council to open an alley between Third
avenue and Clinton avenue, from
Twenty -seventh street to Twenty
eighth,
was plated. Some twenty odd years
ago, possibly in ignorance Of the sur.
vey lines, a barn was built so that it
occupied six feet Of the alley. For a
number of years the alley existed only
on the plat and was not used. In the
course Of time the block was built up,
and the alley opened and used: After
people had driven around the barn for
a number Of years they made kick to
the authorities.
The aldermen Of the Eighth ward In
terested themselves in the matter and
according to their story made q re-
quest of the owner, Lena Campbell, to
move the barn. 1t was then discovered
that the barn had stood there twenty
years, and that the land which it &C.
cupied was legally the property Of Lena
was the price demanded for the strip
six feet wide and twenty-four feet
long.
They refused to pay this and re.
sorted to so-called street opening pro,
ceedings. These are unique in that no
tice to interested property owners, in
stead OF. being given by service Of. docu
ments, is given only by publication in
the legal newspaper.
The commission was appointed. II
went to work in the usual way and ir
due time presented q report opening
that part of the alley not already
opened. The benefits were reported az
being equal to the damages, and ne
award was made to Lena Campbell fol
her land, which was obtained by ad
| verse possession.
She has, of course, the option of ap
pealing to the court, but the game il
hardly worth the candle. >.

Politics in Hennepi11

John A. Dahl has resigned as presi-

Many political aspirants envy the
position in which Wendell Hertig finds
himself. He is candidate for re"
election as alderman of the fifth ward.
No one has yet come forth to contest
with him for the republican nomination,
and it is not believed that any one will.
No democrat is anxious to try conclu-
sions on election. day and if any &C
cepts the nomination it will be simply
to show fealty to the party.
Lars M. Rand is engaged in his fifth
run for the aldermanship Of the sixth
ward. So far, it is more of a walk
than a run, as he is alone in the race.
1t has been intimated that Pat Perusse
and Peter Gunderson might get into
the game against the redoubtable Lars,
but they have held off long time.
Neither have any republicans come to
the front for the nomination, altho it is
announced that either John Peterson

of the aspirants are somewhat discour-

He writes from the Kaiserhof hotel at
Bad Mannheim. He says in part:
This is beautiful country In the high

look happy and prosperous. The great
drawback here, I should judge, is mill
tarism. Hundreds of thousands of young

ness at the expense Of the country when

The Presbyteral Forward Movement in Christian

movement traces its origin to the enthusiasm of a

idea that the defect might be remedied bv such an or

organization is The conservation OF Christians the
chlstlanlzaton OF business, and the devotion of not
less than one-tenth of our income to the conversion
OF the world"
The purpose of this movement is to bring before
Christian people generally, and the Southern Presbv
terrain Church particularly necessity for and the
possibility of definite, systematic and proportonate
giving; the giving of substance to the Lord not

Down With Rotten Politics.


Editor Leader: / and my
neighbors who were at the Union
school rally last week were might
ily pleased with what Hon. w. E.
Parsons said ia his speech against
the use of money in elections.
He struck the keynote On that
line as we'll as on pistol toting,
whisky drinking and other things.
If man runs for Office in this
county he ought to run on his
merits and not try to trick OF buy
the people into voting for him.
As Mr.. Parsons argued so well,
what is to be gained by educating
our children and fitting them for
public usefulness, if the only way
to public office lies through rot
ten politics, bribery and corrup-
tion, which no man fit to hold
office wants to be mixed up ins
We have had enough white cap
politics, vote buying and hired
political strikers in this county,
and every man who tries to ride
into Office that way hereafter
ought to be set down on hard.
And be will be by,

complaint. 1t willsbe remember
ed that ats the time the Sandy
Bayou lease was being discussed
the principal reason given by
Warden Henry and the members
of the board of control faYoring
perpetuating the McLaurin lease
was that it was impossible to take
care of the seventy convicts en-
ployed on Sandy Bayou on the
other State farms. As the appro-
priatlon for the maintenance Of
the State convicts was based on a
population of / ,050 prisoners, and
the board Of control are now
housing 1895, a net increase of
245 conVicts since this Sandy
Bayou lease was made, it can be
readily seen what poor judgment
was displayed by a majority of
the board in this affair, and we
are constrained here to remark
that lad Gov. Vardaman been re-
sponsibIe for this character of a
