BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.
A Brief Session Held Y~esterday-The Bus
mess Transacted.

A Brief Session Held Yesterday-The Bus
mess Transacted. O..
When the Board of County Commission
ers adjourned, last Monday afternoon, it
was with the purpose of re-assembling in
special session yesterday morning, the
Board meanwhile sitting as a Committee
of the Whole to audit the new Court House
bills. The committee accordingly met
Tuesday morning, and worked faithfully
all day long, but when night came they
were far from having completed the work
before them, and an adjournment was
taken until yesterday morning. Business
was then resumed, and continued until
half-past four o'clock, when most of the
vouchers having been examined and meas
urements and estimates compared, the
committee rose and reported progress
to the Board, which ut once
ordered such bills as had been
found to be correct paid. There still re-
mains a small amount of work to be done,
such as putting up iron ratings, putting
on locks and window ~fastenings, glass
globes and gas burners on desks &c, and
for this reason a complete settlement with
Oscar Seeley and Klieves, Kraft & Co, was
deferred. The total of the bills audited and
passed is between 500. 900 and $4,000.
The Board will meet again in special SEES
sion on the 18th inst.

MCCORMICK ACCEPTS.
I'VE are pleased 10 announce that Will
liam Mccormick, the glassworker, has
consented to make the run for the nominal
tiOn for city sergeant on the republican
ticket. II he secures the nomination it
behOOves the democracy to trOt out their
strongest man for the position
Ass citizen of this community, doing
business here for q quarter of 4 century,
and feeling keenly the disgrace and injury
that boycotting and the abbettors thereof
have brought upon our city, always uni
veIsally known as one of the most law
abiding and conservative in the country, l
ask plain simple question: Is
the man named above and
put toward for the suffraSes
of Republicans, the Mr.. Mccormick who
went around in company with Mr.. Newt
Lynch, and two striking printers, whose
names | do not know, or | would be only
too glad to mention them, among the
merchants, threatening to ruin them with
the boycott ifthey did not withdraw their
patronage from the morning papers?
By answeringth this QUESTION you will confer
a favor on many Republicans, and l hope
Democrats too, who do not propose to let
party affiliations on this occasion int rfere
with their convictions Of right, and a
sense Of what is due ofthem as good citi-
AIRS, desirOps Of good municipal govern
ment, which can never be by the aid OF
boycotters. MERCHANT.

The Agitation for Pure Water.

Some months ago DR.. Garrison, Health
Officer, called the attention Of the Council
to the necessity of doing something to
better the supply of drinking water of this
city. Officials of other cities are becom-
ing alive to the Importance of a purer
water supply. The Committee on Water
of the Council of Allegheny City, Pa, has
decided that the City Comptroller shall
advertise for bids for a tiltering plant
capable of filtering {, 1000, 600 gallons OF
water daily. This action is the result OF
an examination of the question by a sub
committee, which recently reported that
filtration of the water supply had become
a necessity. At Pittsburgh, a special
committee has prepared a report Oh water
supply, and a system of filtration.

A Private Collection Of Old World Curios
Shown to the Public.
Last evening Miss ]. B. Wilson gave a
reception at her place of business, 1905
Market street, in honor of Lieut.. Curtis,
U. S. n, and it was attended by q large
and fashionable throng of people, who re-
ceived. invitations 10 be present. Lieut..
Curtis, who has cruised many years
along the coasts of Corea, Japan,
China, and India, has made a fine
collection Of curiOs from all these
points, WHICH although not sc very
extensive is one of the most valuable and
elegant private collections in the country.
These he had kindly consented to display,
and those who attended were more than
repaid for doing 80. The store was packed
during the whole evening, from $50 until
past II o'clock with sight-seeres, who
found not only pleasure in the rare col
lection of Lieut.. Curtis, but the elaborate
display OF the line of goods in which Miss
Wilson deals.
The room was beautifully decorated with
evergreens and artificial vines and present
eda lovely appearance, reminding one very
much of Christmas times. The scene was
an Undesirable picture in itself. To
speak at any length of Lieutenant Curtis
collection is impossible. Much space
would be required TO do it justice. There
we're keen edged japanese and Chinese
swords, elegantly embroidered shawls, cos
tunes, aud fine laces, fans, bronzes and
wares of the most delicate and rare de-
scriptions; there were also idols, J~ananese
warrior, pictures, punch bowl, fire pot,
etc, etc. The work of some on these arti-
cles is beyond description, it is so fine.
Unfortunately Lieutenant Curtis was pre-
vented from being present on account of
illness.

will consist of Pullman palace cars, and
restaurant cars will be attached, in which
meals will be furnished at reasonable
figures The train will leave San Francisco
at P. NJ, and Sacramento at p. NJ, and
the excursionists will have Friday, Satur-
dav and Sunday to spend in one OF the
most romantic localities in California.
Those who desire can make the cars their
home during the entire time, and thus be
grandly quartered; while sisson's Hotel
will accommodate those who desire to stop
there. AT Sissons guides and hors 5 can be
obtained for excursions to the summit OF
Mount Shasta, and to the salmon and trout
fishing stations and derrick on the Nc
Cloud river. Three days will not be any
too long to enable the visitors to visit the
many points of interest in the vicinity, in
Guiding the soda springs, Castle Peaks. ETC.,
and to witness the energetic work in rail
road building being performed in that sec
ton. There is something for everybody to
be interested in, no matter what special

weather the excursion will be postponed
one week, of which due notice will be
given, tickets holding good.
