Governor Hughes yesterday received
the report Of the board of railroad
commissioners. The report is brief
and deals almost entirely with the
status of the board. 1t is stated that
the limitations thrown around it pre-
vent any useful service. 1t can do
nothing but take notice of violations Of
the law and report them to the gov
ernor. The report recommends there
fore the abolition of the board unless
it's power be extended so that it can
exercise the same control as that en-
ioyed by similar bodies in other states.

The real estate office of Orr & Peck
in the Commercial hotel block was
thrown open yesterday. The office is
splendidly fitted up and most conven
1ently located, The furnishings and
location, though, are only incidental
facilities for the transaction OF sue

firm will have more to do with it. The
senior mem Der, Thos. A. Orr, though a
comparatively young man, is an old
Chicago board of trade man compelled
to come to this climate on account Of
his health. Mr.. Peck, lately clerk Of
the board OF supervisors, is so well ac-
quainted with the people and property
OF the vicinity and so favorably known
that he stands in no need of an intro
auction.
