Hottest of the Year.

The government weather clerk
never hit wider of the mark than
when he predicted cooler weather
for yesterday, for it proved the hot
test day of the season, the mercury
registering "a in the shade. Today

much so, the thermometer indicat-
ing 90 in the shade, while the out
look for tomorrow. according to the

Talk About Grades.

The city council met in special
session Saturday AFTERNOON. obedient
to Mayor Medill's call to consider the
subject of grades in the Third ward.
The system in operation in that ward
has been on the ordinance books for
several years, but its enforcement
did not become necessary until the
adoption of the new sidewalk ordi-
nance in that ward. when n move
ment sprang up looking to the repeal
or modification of the grade. In con-
sideration of this proposition, the
council met Saturday afternoon and
proceeded in q body over the Third
ward for the purpose of gaining an
idea of the existing conditions, and
returning to the council chamber
later in the afternoon reassembled.
City Engineer Darling submitted ele-
vatiOns in accordance with the wishes
of some of the aldermen for q modi-
fed grade, and after a discussion, a
motion to adopt an ordinance look
ing to new grade failed of the num-
Der of votes necessary under the law
to make the change, and it was
thereupon declared defeated by the
maVOr.

The Positions of $50 Men at Stake.

The dullness in trade consequent
upon the stringency in the money
market, and from which Rock Island
has escaped so far, showed its effect
here Saturday night, when cut Of
from 10 to eight hours day was
made by the Rock Island Lumber Il
Manufacturing company. and almost
20 men were laid off temporarily. In
reply to a question from reporter
this morning as to the cause OF the
reduction, Supt. Sears said; at is
due entirely to duh times. Stock
has accumulated so rapidly owing to
the decrease in demand. that we had
no other course before us but to make
cut, and we have made it as mod
crate as possible"
VIII there be any further changes
made?" queried the reporter, to
which Mr.. Sears made answer.
I'VE cannot tell about that. We
hope whatever change we make
hereafter will be for the better, and
that the present move will be only
temporary in its effects"
