up to that time by Commissioner Ashby
Miller, was declared vacant. after which
Commissioner E. E. Lawler was elected to
fill the vacancy. The office of police ser
geant was abolished, and the incumbent
Charles t. Goods, was placed in the ranks.
Among other important changes was that
relating to the detail of policemen for duty
at the station house. Under the old rules
the men were changed every sixty days
In the future four men-Ofticers Goods
Smith, Ferguson and Sherwood-wilI do
permanent duty at the station house.
The board met at O'clock with Mavor

Estimates fer 1904.

Mr.. LOCKER has also submitted his esti-
mates for the year 1904. He asks for a
general increase in the salaries of himself
and his assistants and clerks. He also re-
quests an additional draughtsman and an
additional comeuter. A total of so, ,6S5 is
asked for. In regard to this the surveyor
says:
THE appropriation for the current year
for the general work of the oifice is SIT 800
To this can be added the 5000 for piats of
subdivisions, making sl9.S00 The 5000
for resurvey of Beatty and Hawkins addi-
tioI brings the total up to S21 500, but this
latter amount is, of course, for special
matter 1t is obvious, therefore, that the
general appropriation is not yet sufficient
to meet all needs for the year 1904, with its
reasonably expected increase of work. 1t
should always be remembered that the net
cost of maintenance of this Office is found
by deductng fees, which this year arii6In t

A moderately large crowd witness
ed very close and interesting game
of base ball on the fair grounds in
this city last Friday afternoon when
the home high school team defeated
picked nine of Highland, composed
OF the best high school players and 8
of the popular first team of that viii
lage. The score ut the end Of the 9th
inning stood 5 to l. Very little field
ing was done during the entire game,
the work on both sides being done
mostly by the pitchers; Ovitz famed
Is men, while Eagau and Singtield,
for the visitors, struck ont II between
them.
The business men of this city turn
ed out fairly we'll, and no doubt there
would have been larger attendance,
had all stores been closed during the
game, as some were.
The following Tuesday the boys
went to Plattoville and returned
the game with the Normal team of
that place. This is the last game
of the season, and, rs was proper it
resulted in a victory for the Highs
the score being s and .. The game
was exciting and interesting to watch
throughout, but neither team played
in its standard style Ovitz, the hoy
pitcher" for the Highs, had n lame
arm and was in bad condition 10

and En2enroth had a trial in the box,
but Ovitz.returued in the last two and

latter's followers in the Liberal party.
In a letter to the Times" he refers TO
the speech made by Sir Henry on Wednos-

with RETAINING somewhat unfairly from
making it clear whether he was acting
with Sir Henry or from a point Of vantage
outside. He also repudiated Lord Rose
