John Beck's Petition to Compromise

Van Dam Wants to Go Home-Ap-

The county commissioners had
good deal to do yesterday afternoon
There was a pile of bills to go through
and several dozen petitions for posi-
tons, refund of taxes and such like
beside number of pauper cases re-
curing attention.
The board has evidently decided to
get all the work possible out of the
clerks in the various departments.
Chairman Armstrong became very en-
phatic when Recorder Jensen appeared
before the meeting and humbly asked
that the salary of Miss Cannon, now
$50, be raised TO 49, and that of Miss
Pratt's from $40 to SIS.
Il wish you would put that down in
writing" suggested Whitaker.
Yes" Joined il Mr.. Armstrong, land
don't forget, either, to let US know if
you have any more clerks than you
need"
I can't dispense with the services of
any of them now was Jensen's reply.
We'll, there is one thing we desire
all you people to understand, and that
is, that If we are 70 raise wages or even
maintain the present rate, the clerks
must attend to work the same as they
would in a business house up town, +"
went on Mr.. Armstrong. We want
them to do eight hours work every day.
People have stopped me on the street
and pointed out that many Of the en-
ployees in the joint building have a
snap and that has got to stop. Every
clerk must hereafter work eight hours
or be paid a reduced scale.
Seven hours and half is a pretty
good days work" rather timidly ven
tured Mr.. Jensen.
We'll, if they can't stand working
any longer let them take a lay-off once
in a while"
Jensen promised that beginning to-
day the eight-hour system will be in
augurated in his office, and the board
promised to take his request for an in
crease of salaries under consideration.
John Nj. Cannon and John Beck came
ia and presented a petition asking for a
compromise in the suit of John Beck
VS.. the county in which he seeks to re-
cover property sold for taxes. The
amount OF delinquent taxes with inter-
est reaches nearly So 600, and Mr.. Beck
wants to compromise by paying the
county $4,000.
The scene was almost pathetic when
Attorney Cannon in pleading the cause
referred to the reverses of his client,
and asked the court to take this fact
into consideration.
The matter was referred to the county
attorney.

Chicago. Jan. 9.-Wheat opened aston
ishly strong, considering the weakness of

day. A sharp upward turn on the curb
strated how susceptible the price was TO
little buying and how small was the con-
fidence of short sellers in the wisdom of
their position. May started &c higher at

II was not until the returns of the clear

Atlantic ports was published that bulls
justify them in their attitude toward the
market. The visible supply, that was
thought likely to show a decrease of T50.-
eco bushels, was found to have increased
As, 900 bushels against 1900 bushels in

curb to the bullish enthusiasm that was
prevailing, and May reacted to 702z cents.
The demand for exports at the seabOard
was reported fairly good. Outside orders
became frequent and a good buying for

It was learned the girl is anxious to
