WANTS THE CITY HALL SITE.
Cook County Commissioners Make Big
Demand on Chicago.

Cook County Commissioners Make Big
Demand on Chicago.
At the next meeting of the County
Board of Cook County the first gun
will be fired in a long legal battle, the
duration of which will probably not be
measured by the present generation,
when County Attorney Judd presents
an order for the Boards approval max
ing formal demand upon the city of
Chicago for the possession of the city
hall property. City officials are at
present inclined to consider this as a
Joke, on, at best. bluff on the part Of
the County Commissioners. 1t is
thought that the latter have an object
to gain, the nature of which is not yet
apparent.
Attorney Judd said, according to a
dispatch, that the county's intentions
were serious. Il shall" said he, TASK
the County Board to pass an order
making the demand on the city merely
as a necessary legal formality. The
city will, of course, refuse to comply,
and then / shall file bill for the
county. 1t will probably come up in
the Circuit Court. expect to get a
decision and carry the case before the
Supreme Court in the October term Of
this year.
Il am of the opinion that the county
hes legal right to the land. AS for
compensating the city for its building,
that is another question, but l don t
think the courts will think it neces-
sary. This is not precisely question
OF equity or justice, you see. Neither
side will be robbed whichever wins,
because the two municipalities are
practically the same. The city pays
seven-eighths of the county taxes, and
the issue only concerns the best use of
the peoples money and the peoples
property The talk is already started
by some Of the County Commissioners
as to the disposition of the City Hall
grounds when they get them. A
$5,0y0,000 building for county purposes,
with an in closure in which is to be the
Jail, is one of the projects discussed.
Corporation Counsel Rubens thinks
the legal aspects of the suit are not
worth worrying over. He thinks it
would be fortunate for the city IL the
county won the suit, for the city could
then enter into negotiations with the
United States Government to exchange
property on the lake front for the Gus
tom houss block and thereon erect a
new city hall.

WHEAT is A DRUG NOW.
Farmers Holding Back with the Hope of
Obtaining Higher Rates.

ODtalninS Itigner RATES.
The Chicago Herald publishes, under
the caption, Wheat Is a Drug" a
three-column article, bristling with
statistics, tending to show that the
present low price OF wheat is the nat
ural result OF the prevailing financial
depression, assisted by overproduction
supplies of the farmers. Interviews
with bankers and merchants are also
cited. the trend of their views seeming
TO indicate that the effect of existing
conditions on finance are not great, but
are directly attributable to the law of
supply and demand. The position taken
by the Herald is extremely bearish, as
will be seen by the subjoined excerpts:
Wheat is PROSTATE in all the markets
of the world. For weeks 1t has been a
drug at prices unprecedented since
speculation in farm products began.
It has sunk below all low marks, re-
fused to respond to bullish influences,
and gone begging at quotatic rs taken
to be under the actual cost OF produc-
tion. Theories that crop products,
like articles of manufacture, had an
intrinsic value under which they could
not long be sold. have been exploded,
and wheat has continued to fall. How
long this condition OF depressed prices
will last Is question that interests
American farmers. who devote $50 o.
OJO acres every year to cultivating the
cereal to merchant in the land, and,
incidentally, to speculate the world
over.
After analyzing all the influences
that have contributed, and there are
any number OF them, it would appear
that new level tumble is about to be
established for wheat. beyond which
IT is not likely TO rise except by the
boldest manipulation, and then only
for brief periods. There are spec ular

The cheers came naturally from the
throats OF friends of the accused.
When the verdict had been read, says
q Chicago dispatch, there was a full
minute of silence. Then man, who
stood near John Kunze near the west
wall, shouted. Three cheers for Daniel
Coughlin." The yell which went up so
excited Judge Tuthill that he leaped
to his feet and commanded the bailiffs
to lock the doors. But some one was
too quick for the court. The words had
hardly fallen from his honor's lips
when cheer rang through the building
from the crowd in the corridor. Again
and again did the walls echo the yells Of
the men both inside and outside the
courtroom. Coughlin seemed dazed
until q well-known member Of the 30
ciety to which the prisoner used to be-
long grabbed his hand and muttered
his congratulations. All this time
"Big Dan" seemed to be in trance.
Suddenly he pulled himself together
and turning to the jury which stood
smiling upon him reached out his hand
ana with deep emotion expressed his
thanks to the Jurors.
