Mr. Whipple Is one of the committee ot time appointed by the osehange pome we-iks no to look Into the matter of auc tions of lealty. nnd he hits come to the cuniluilon that the only way to Inaugur ate tho mowincnt Is to olter and to sell. Ac- orjint,ly, simply by way ot testing the tal estate market he hits sdt-cted ten fair pie 'cs of property, a portion Improved and a portion unlmpioveel, to be fold under the hatnnn r JK has had a brief notice of tue .i'V on and Its purpose printed on postal 1 mis. and before to-morrow even ing he villi have mailed them to all the brokers nnd speculators In the city. The cards bear a gonernl imitation to evcry ono to attend. Ladies nre CFpecinlly In ited. Mr. Whipple said jesterduy: "In the Hast real estate Is told by auction wry largi ly. Auctions are the rule in the real estate exchanges of Xt iv York, Uos ton, Chicago, at. Louis and other large cities. There is no mure reason why prop erty should not be fold so than theie Is that stock, bonds, wheat nnd other com modities should not be sold by auction. The members of the csrhange believe that the time la ripe for Jun such auctions ot realty. The inquiries uri Ho many nowa days that we wish to rIc the Inquirers a fair opportunity to buj. We extend a. general imitation to eeryone to be pres ent Ladles ate often the eery best In vestors In real rrtate, so wi should like to see many of them there. Thu ten prop erties which will be oilVied are not high priced, and nre clear. There Is not one of the t n which will not yield thu buyer from 32 to 15 per cent on hi-. Investment. f the tal" Is even modirately Miceosslul we shall hold weekly auctions. Inasmuch us the matter Is not altogether uniletstood we shall pell all of the pieces cpiite low as in experiment. J spoke of numerous in quiries, fc'o far as we nrf concerned wo hae hnd more Inquiries after all sorts of realty durlriir the week than we hae bad since 1Vi We have had more people In this ollVe than wo could look after, some thine; that has not been the case in sen en yean.' time." James II. Welsh, of the firm of Crateher fc Wel'h, paid: "The demand for houses ' Is greater than It has been In a very Ions time I am certain that If someone should put up fifty stood houses they would all be sold In a shoit time, l'eoplc want homes and they want them badly. The lesult is that there i not a little looking for de urable lots upon which. to build. Many of the persons we have sold to In the last lew weeks bought beciuse they wish to build We shall hae more building this season than we have seen In many a dav." John W Huh. of Hush Bros., said: "The nqmry after property lb surely on the ln irease I cannot sec why more buying Is not done Prices were never lower nor good pieces of Improved unincumbered property more easily obtainable than now. Hut htiyers seem to be very cautious nr fa'tldlous or something of the sort. They appear to be looking for snaps, when iieirs are on the market every day. S'f'l I be liee that the market will Improve i s -prion and that we shall see a gen crn, it tmt a (Treat, revival." ACTIVITY IN BUILDING.

Hilling 111 a Conte-t Case, Judge Slover jesterdav In chambers lis tened to arguments of counsel In the Sloan-Keshleur election contest upon the Joint request ot Hecorder Arnold and County Clerk Crittenden for a ruling upon several points which have been In contto versy, it appears, within the secret pre einets of tho recount room. The patties to the contest, it appears, have been hiv ing a dispute ove-r the right of the defend ant to delay tho recount by removing tho same objection,-, .? every ballot and of de mandlne .l.at a companssi. of each ballot wlfv tne tally sheet and regisi..-.""."-. 11." bo made nnd that each ballot httvo a sep arate certHlcate with ach ballot that It Is printed according to the n-gulatlon fotm, Judge Slover held that if the defendant hail a mind to renew his formalities with i ach ballot he had a right to tlo so, ei en though It should delay the ptoecedlngs, in delinltely. He said that all this trouble could be walveel if the parties would do so. The olllclals further asked for a ruling upon the point as to whether they had a right to ollovv the parties to make ptlvato mi moranela ot the re-count. Judge Sloie-r also ruled that any facts appearing In the course of the recount not provided for in the law It would bo perfectly proper for them to inakn official note of It in their ree ord to report to the court especially If It affected ill any manner tho result of tho count, Case Jl list Ho Tried. Judgo Slover yesterday overruled the de murrer of Jackson county In the case of J. W. McCurdy and J. D. Eubanks against nilhu W. Hayes and Jackson county lot toes. The fees claimed were for work done in the office of the late County Clerk M. S Hurr upon the delinquent tax bookfi ol 18'U. The plaintiffs were then deputies of County Collector Haves and they worked nights upon the delinquent tax books tran scripts, when It was unelerstood that they were to get their pay from the fees of the county clerk if allowed for this work. It afterward transpired that although Clerk Hurr had collected tliei fe.-s the county smld he had no right to them. He refused to aekuuivle lge the claim of the county, but left the lounty to pay tho help on tho either hand. Tills the county eoutt refused to do and hence the bult, with the oountv colle-ctor named as a party defendant. The county demurred to the petition, but Judge Slover ruled that the case would have to be tried before the court would be Jus tilled In pa-slutr upon Ub merits.
