this day. His bill for $500 for extra
services, which the board passed in
direct violation Of its most important
rules, has been plentifully denounced
and is sure to be reconsidered by the
board. With this reconsideration fades

the $500 and the portable property
which it would buy. Therefore is

F'The Eagle Has Them Spotted, and

The following extracts are taken
from the general rules of the Board of
County Commissioners
'SFor the more efficient government of
the several institutions and depart
ments of Cook County, the following
rules are established by the Board Of
Commissioners, and it is made the duty
of the President of the Board to see
that the same are enforced; and to that
end full power and authority is hereby
given him to suspend or remove any
appointed officer or employe for neglect
of duty or for violation of any of the
following rules; and any vacancy so
created shall be filled in the same
manner in which the appointment was
originally made.
"Rule 8. No Superintendent, War
den or other employe or assistant, ap-
pointed by the County Board or by
anv officer or appointee of the Board,
shall accept or receive any fees, emolu-
ments or perquisites, other than the
salary as designated by the Board.
In the face of the above plain rules
the County Board willfully and know
ingly voted an allowance of $500 to one
of its appointees, to wit Me Michels,
the Boards own committee clerk. 1t
is not known whether Michels' ability
to squeal had anything to do with the
Boards action or not.
1t is the prevailing impression, how
ever, that several of the members are
afraid of him.
To say nothing about his record be
fore he came to Chicago which will
be published in due time Michels
record since his arrival is not an enyi
able one. He commenced as n watch
man at the poor house, where the doc
tor in charge discovered him one day
in the act of beating a poor cripple
Then hc was transferred to the County
Board rooms as messenger.
