the price of coal. the budget for 1901
will have to bear 4 temporary surcharge

Committee that it must revise it's csti-

profits with the Government has fallen

attributed here to the needs arising from

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The decision of the

for sixty days it is the opinion of deal

sixty days, and then the trouble will
begin.
AT the latest. if no hard coal can be
obtained, every vestige OF the product
will be gone by Jan. !, and dealers can
see nothing but dire distress for the
city. Prices are expected to 80 up at

Coal can be brought to this city only by

The ridiculous features of the assault
made by L. A. Wilkinson, a discharged
employe of the state board of control,
upon that body are beginning now to be
appreciated Mr.. Wilkinson was in the.
steady employ of the board for almost
three years. and during that time made
absolutely not single complaint TO the
board respecting any feature of its adj
Sministration. He haa charged the board
with such grave offenses that he could
no longer associate himself with it. This
statement becomes excessively ridicu-
lous in view of the fact that 1t Was the
board which severed his connection With
the Office, for the board discharged him
week before he gave to the public his
..resignation. Last March atelegram a
was received from one of the bidders on
meat reducing his bid to such figure
that the contract had to be awarded to
him. After the receipt of this telegram,
Secretary Wilkinson called the attention
Of Chairman Kline to it and charged
that certain employe of the account
ants department of the boards office
had given a tip to the bidder and ena-
bled him to so amend his bid az to Sc
cure the contract. The board at once
instituted an investigation and discov-
cred that no employe Of the board had
| furnished information to the bidder, but
that the bidder had sent an agent to
Anamosa to discover from the local bid
der there the price at which he had Of
fered to take the meat contract. This
emiseary had discovered from tthe Ana
| mosa man the price which he had bid
upon the contract and telegraphed at
once to his employer. The employer was
/ enabled to telegraph the board and cut
under the Anamosa bidder sufficiently
to get the contract. Mr.. Wilkinson was
cognizant Of these facts, but in his letter
of resignation" he charges that one
member Of the board had given the tip.
Mr.. Wilkinson also charges the board
with using sweat shop methods in ite
relations to the employees at the state
house. Business men and farmers will
/ laugh when they learn that the hours OF
employees at the state house are to Il
4 in the morning and from to s in the
afternoon, except Saturday, when the
afternoon hours are from 2 to o'clock
