WILL UNDERTAKE THE WORK FOR THIS V taslats, Howtrtr, that Even This , Ban la lasuBlclesit Board Allows Bills of Former Cooaty Officials, The Board of County Supervisors yester day finally agreed to allow City Assessor Hardin 1S00 for taking the census of Coun cil Bluffs, this being; an increase of two over the amount first fixed by the board for the work. This change in heart on tho part of tba board was reached after At torney Q. S. Wright had appeared before the board n . behalf of Mr. Hardin and after the -tatter had formally served the following notice: To the Hoard t Supervisors You are hereby notified thnt J am ready and will ing to undertake the census as required by law for such compensation as Is air and reasonable, commensurate with the magni tude and Importance of the transaction. I shall proceed with the taking of the census with this understanding, hut you are fur ther notified that I cannot and do not un dertake such work for the compensation heretofore allowed by your board, the same being entirely Insulilcient and Inadequate In payment for the purpose of taking tho census. . ., ' Attorney Wright, In his appeal to the board on behalf of Assessor Hardin, pointed Out the faal that It had reduced the pay for the work of taking the' census when that work had been greatly Increased since the time It allowed Assessor Everest t'.KK). Mr. Wright, -who Is chairman of the repub lican county central committee, suggested that the action of the board, which Is wholly republican In Its makeup, might be construed as If the board was anxious to discriminate against ' the only democratic officeholder within the board's Jurisdiction. Af first tho board seemed Inclined to al low the fOOO demanded by Mr. Hardin, but finally concluded to compromise the matter by otTorlng 1800, colonel Baker being the only member who objected to any Increase. Mr. Hardin, on being notified of the board's decision, stated ha was willing to accept the $800, but mid be would be able to show when the work Is completed that It should have allowed him 11,200 rather than $800. . Ths claim of former County Recorder Smith of $326 for extra clerk hire fur the quarter ending; December 81 was allowed.

Moscow is peopled by native Russians, descended from the orig Jnnl Tartar-Mongol race of Invaders. They are stolid and courageous.

CONSIDER DUTY ON SUGAR Beet Sigar Makers Object ta Low Bate on Philippics Product. ADMITS THAT SUPPLY IS NOW LIMITED t'nlted States Can Consume All and Would Still Hare to Import Over Million Tons. WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 At a hearing before the house committee on ways and means today Secretary Palmer of the American Beet Sugar association opposed the pending bill reducing the duty on sugar and tobacco from the Philippine Wanils. Mr. Palmer said that Just prior to the tariff agitation regarding Cuban sugar In 1901 eighty-six new sugar factories had been projected in this country. Not one of these was built. Sines that time Europe had curtailed Its sugar crop finder the terms of the Brussels agreement and the price had gone up to the point where American capital was on the point of again enlarging Industry in this country. Now to open the Philippine market In. competition with the American beet sugar Industry would agala discourage this movement. In replying to a question by Mr. Curtis, whose bill was under consideration. Mr. Palmer said that the total sugar product of the Philippines was 143,000 tons annually, and If the United States took It all there would still Imve to be Imported 1,5j0,X0 ton. to supply the demand.
