and at times very fast rainfall, resulted In a
total precipitation Of az inches. 1t was
a notably excessive rain for the season OF
the year and make a much greater showing
because OF the ground having been thor
oughly wet by rains Of but q few days
before. There is more water standing on
the bottoms than has been seen at any time
during the entire year, regardless OF Its
having been q year Of unusual wet weather
conditions. There are many places where
twenty to 100 acres are submerged, and
dozens Of haystacks are standing in six
inches to two feet Of water, which will re-
suit in great loss, as the water spoils the
hay to a height in stacks above the water
that stands around them. There are nu-
merous stack yards OF grain yet not
threshed, and many Of the stacks have
taken water to such extent that much of the
grain will be injured.

INVESTIGATE 7HE CUY CLERKS
OFFICE.

Former Election Commissioner Luke
mittcc last week to protest againsta big
street grab. which 1t is alleged was the
purpose of an ordinance introduced by
Il West Side Alderman. who halls from
one of Willie the Wabblcr's' string
of wards.
Is this the same ordinance which Mr..
Coync complained about to the Council
Il week ago?
At that time. II will he remembered.
Mr.. Coyne is said to have alleged that
the City Clerk could give considerable
information on the subject If he cared
to do so.
Now. If this Is the same ordinance. it
Is strange that nothing was said at the
Council committee meeting about any.
body's knowledge of the affair except
that of the Alderman who introduced
the measure.
Can 1t be that the City Clerks office
exercises u great deal of control over
the Council committee mectingsY
1t certainly supplies the clerks of
those committees. and II may no that
those subordinates of the City Clerks
office sometimes have convenient mem.
| cries In calling up the business of the
meetings.
The ordinance which was discussed
before the committee last Tuesday was
denounced In all the moods and lenses
~ n grab and was then placed on file.
This. no doubt will satisfy Mr.. Coync
and the big delegation of outraged citi.
zens who protested against the grab,
hut what about the assertions concern.
Ing the alleged knowledge of the city
Clerks office in the matter?
What way Is the City Clerks office
being run. anyway. and are the records
of that office being properly kept.
These are very important questions
for the public. Perhaps IL the next
Grand Jury would send for Mr.. Luke
Coyne and question him closely con.
corning this same grab ordinance. Il
could furnish very Interesting answers.

THE BRUNSWICK. BALkE.COLLEN.
DER COMPANY.

II every firm of wealth ana standing
In the city of Chicago. whose premises
are visited by fire. should treat the fire
department with ns much liberallty as
the Brunswick Balke-C offender Com,
pany, there IL no doubt whatever that
Chicago would not be to-day without
adequate fire protection.
The big concern In question has per-
haps the largest factory Of its kind In
the country, the product being billiard
tables, refrigcratOrs. bowling gallery,
bar fixtures and fittings and furnish.
ings Of Il kindred nature.
Some two weeks ago q fire occurred
on the premises which are located In
warehouses l53. 155. l57. l50 and lGl
superior streets, and which was
promptly eXtlnguished by the fire de.
partment, Notwithstanding the infiam.
mable material which the flame had TO
feed upon.
So well did Marshal Musham's men
accomplish their work that the firm
was not prevented at all from cOntinu-
ing Its business, which was resumed
next morning and carried right along
rs II nothing whatever had happened.
The company, always public-spiritcd
and generous, mt once forwarded u
handsome check to Marshal Musham
for the benefit Of the tircmen's Bcnev.
olent Association, and received In re-
turn the thanks Of the department.
II all citizens of Chicago had the
generosity and public spirit Of the great
firm of the Brunswick Bake G offender
Company, Chicago today would not
have n fire department 50 crippled as
to cause fire insurance rates to 20 up,
The general verdict In this connec-
ton Is that the company In question
deserves the splendid success which
has always attended 1t and which 1t
now enjoys in the prosecution of its
business.

PALMER DISHES THE MAYOR.

Little Lord Fauntleroy Palmer IL
likely to prove white elephant on
Mayor Ilarrison's hands. He has cor.
talnly taken an awful smash ut one of
that officials most cherished plans by
| causing II time limit to be set for the
settlement of the traction question.
1t seems to The Eagle that the youth.
full and patrlcian solOn from the North
Side has treated his patron. guide.
philosopher ana friend rather unkindly
In this matter.
Everybody knows that his honor. for
some reason or other. perhaps for n va
riety Of them, has been working over.
time trying to delay the settlement Of
this question until after next spring.
His Ostcnsible and publicly expressed
reason for this policy Of delay IL that
the Legislature may have time to meet
ana pass some enabling law for munici.
pal ownership OF public utilities. hut
there are others, and The Eagle IL
much mistaken II the little Lord FAINT.
leroy Alderman is not acquainted with
them.
II was all the more surprising. there.
fore, when young Mr.. Palmer arose In
the Council on Tuesday night and Of.
fered resolutions fixing June IL as the
limit within which the street railway
companies may open negotiations with
the City Council on the subject of fran.
cbise renewals. Some Aldermen
thought this meant delay when 1t was
offered. hut II means the very opposite.
1t will force the Mayors hand hOrri-
bly,, and will In all proba bility result In
the elimination Of one of the finest
campaign planks that ever hoated n
demagOgue and hot.air artist into the
mayOralty Of this city.
As for Master Palmer, the history Of
his discovery and election to office calls
