T0WA'S GREAT LAND CONTEST Finally Decided in the Interests of the Rail- roads After Long Litigation, BMOKE AT THE STATE CAPITAL. An Attempt,to Abate the Dirt of Soft Coal Consumption—Des Moines Wants a Cable Railway— State Notes. The Lands Secured to the Roads, Di:s Moixks, Towa, Apnil 25.—[Special. There has been so much litigation over land grants in Lowa that the state is becoming famous in this respec The much noted case of the Des Moines river land grants, which oceupied public attention a few weeks ago, is now led by another case of much importanee, It involves the titie to nearly 200,000 acres of land in northwestern Towa, claimed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Sionx City & 8t. Paul rail- Attorney for these companies have ) liere the past week endeavoring to have governor make out final patents to the panies for the lands in question. In 1564, congress made a grant of lands to these two roads ceding the lands, according to custoin, to the state of Towa, for the state to transfer to the roads when they had complied with the terms of the grant. The roads were not completed their full distance within the time specified, and so it was held that they had not earncd the lands and the state did not transfer them. The case was contested for seven times without special result till two years ago when the Iineteenth general assembly relin- quished the state's'title to the land and or- dered the governor to certify the land back to the general government. The railroad com- panies that had comnon interests in O'Brien and Dickinson counties succeeded in having this action enjoined pending a final settle- ment of the case in the United States su- preme conrt. That ease has just been aceided by that tribunal, Justice Miller amending the decision, granting the lands to the railroads that have been earned by them. This block of land includes about 190,000 acres, worth at present from $5 to $10an acre. During the Jong contest that has been going on anum- ber of squatters have scttled upon a lar part of these lands, who will probably feel it quitea hardship to bo compelied to leave now. atter they supposed they had taken up public lands, TITE SMOKE NUISANCE Des Moines is moving in the right direction of abating tha smoke nuisance, which is snel an annoyance to the city, The eheapness of goft coal makes it the common article of fuel, and the result is a heavy cloud of smoke settling over the city all the ttme. The couneil has sed an ordinance requiring factories and other establishients using smoke stacks to build them higher than ad- Joining builaines, but this is not suflicient to mitigate the nuisance, and it is proposed to compel the use of smoke consuming appa- ratus. Kxperiments with such appliane will probably be made hefore long, and if sue- cessful, the council may require their general adoption, VORING CABLE ROADS. Since Omaha, Kansas City and other enter- prising towns have adopted the cable system of railways, the project is receiving favorable attention in this city, The steep grades i theresidence portion of the city especi demand some better motive power than horses. ‘The poor service of the street cealls for some radis improvement, italists are considering the ad: troducing the cavle system, Some outside parties are also interested, and will probably furnish a liberal amount of the capital re- quired. THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, The Brown impeachment trial, it is ex- peeted, will prove a very costly experiment, Dot less than £30,000 being the estimated cost, and it may reach as high as $50,000, There is considerable talk now that the pronosed trial s unconstitutional, and may be ruled out as B0on as the senate reconver ‘The consti- tution provides that theve shall be sessions of the legislature only biennially, except upon an extra call by the governor, The Twenty- first general assembly a ned sine dio April 7, The senate at once reconvened, it 15 claimed, in violation of the constitution, as it was not called together by the go uor. Further, it itis held that'this is a con- tinuation of the Twenty-fivst general assem- bly then its members had no vizht to vote themselves additional pay, as they did just before adjourning, as the ecenstitution ex- ‘pressly prohibits the legislatire from inereas- ing its pay during the term for which it was ed. So the constitutional lawyers have eral nice points to eonsider before the im- peachment trial concludes, an Jossible therctore that it may never begin, A Gollision on the Q.

VArLey, Nebg Aprit 26.—Dispatches from Washineton give ud the cheering intelli- gence that the howse committee on agricul- ture hias authorized Chairman Hateh to re- port favorably the bill to regulate the traflic in_fraudulent butter, in substantially the same form as framed by the Dairymens’ as- tion, a summiary of the provisions of the bill also appearing in the dispatehes, The bill is just what the daitymen ot N braska in cotmon with those of all other states want, need and have been and still are, working for. Its provisions are just, and every consideration of right and justics to the producer as well as those of safety to consumers of dairy products demands that the bill become a law. But, like every other blow at fraud, it is meeting strenuous oppo- sition. Nowlis the time to attend to our interests by brinzing the attention ofjour congressmen t0 it, and showing them the necessity of its vassage. Let every dairyman in Nebraska write to his representative in congress, and to members from otlier states whom he’ may know, urging them to vote for this bill. 1f we do notlook after our own business no one clse will, and our representatives in Was ington might—like some statesme: home—be “misinformed aud_deluded” () into voting for something the people did not waitt. 1f a few thousand of us tell them by per- sonal correspondence what we do want there will be no doubt about it. ~ A large part of the time in the Nebraska Dairymen's convention at Fremont last December was devoted to the especial feature of the industry, and a com- mittee on legislation appointed, This bill from the National association is what our convention and _committee agreed = was needed.
