INSPECTORS, REpoRr
Hon Henry IL Dodge, Judge of the Court o
Common Pleas of Wood county. Ohio.

The Committee appointed by You to examine
the report of the Board of Commissioners of
Wood county, Ohio, for the year ending the
third Monday in September. lSSI owing to the
delay In receiving said report, and the pressure
of professional duties, have been unable to give
said report the careful Investigation its inn
our examination the following.
LIST. Said report does not relate the financial
transactions of said board for the year in this:
That II does not show the lepy of taxes for the
year, under general and special laws. 1t does
not show the issuing of about Sl35, 900 of bonds
for which the county Is originally and collater-
ally liable. Other Important financial trans
actions relating toeounty bitches and improved
roads, involving very large expenditure of
money, are not mentioned in said report
End. The law knows no such fund as a General
Ditch Fund as designated in said rcport but
the law provides for County General Ditch
Improvement fnnd, consisting OF taxes collected
ON county and township leyies provided in
sections 455l and 1902 revised statutes, and all
balances remeining. unexpendcd of special
ditch improvement funds arising from excess
of assessments ON ditch improvements after the
expenses thereof have been fully paid. See Re
vised Statutes 1905. And the payment of engi-
neers and surveyors MS set forth in said report
out OF such designated ditch fund, Is unautho or
| lied by law
I'd. Though not apparent on the face of said
report, we learn in the investigation that the
commissioners charge per diem and mileage for
overseeing and looking ut county ditch and
improved road work, after such Improvements
have been finally established and their pay
mcnt provided for which we think a plain
violation OF their powers and duty under the
laws providing for such Improvements, and an
nnwarranted burden upon the tax payers, and
should be at once discontinued
.lth; We find no authority for the mployment
of Janitor at the court house. "

Princes Ida"

Though the enterprise Of Manager
Ford in giving Princes Ida is to be
commented, the fact remains that
last nights audience, which was one
OF the largest and most cultured oil
the season, was very much dissp-
pointed. That it bad been q
failure everywhere nearly every
one OF those who were an
attendance last evening knew
beforehand, and curiosity to see an
opera by Gilbert aud Sullivan which
bad failed to elicit popular applause,
was largely the motive which led ID
the purchase of seats. That they exc
pected the opera TO be done in the
best style is hardly possible, and on
The whole it is safe ID say that
Iobody regretted the loss Cf the
dollar and three hours time required
for a visit 10 castle Adamant.'
Given by a large and powerful COM
panY of artists Of the highest merit,
especially trained to il, with all the
necessary costumes aud surroundings,
something beyond Mr.. Ford, the
Princess Ida might, and probably
would be, keenly enjoyed by
people who have a refined sense
Of wit and a cultivated tasts
for music. 1t has few Of the ell
ements Of popular success, however,
and even at its best could net hope for
the reward which has attended all the
other efforts Of the famous composers.
There are a number of really exquis-
lie gems scattered through the opera.

Chapman as the princess Ida" did
great deal towards redeeming the per-
Torrance from utter failure. Miss
Ray Samuels was very clever as
"Lady Blanche" Miss Marie Cam
myer went through the part Of "Me-
LISA" very creditably. Joe Armand's
score was out Of his reach,
And the single of "Walter

act was enough TO make ones hair

was anxious to be pleased, there was

money and leave his family suffering

Mrs. Crusty-That's just the re-

the overcoat he got there for SO was
worth $40, and the suit he paid $50
for could not have been made to sell
for less than $35.
Mrs, Testy-Tm sorry, dear, that l
said anything about your husband.
Mrs. Crusty-Never mind, it was
all my fault; but [ guess we'd been
quarreling yet if it hadn't been for
the Misft Parlors. Graciousl what
happiness they do bring to Memphis.
Mrs. Testy-Yes, the Misft Par
lors are a real blessing. There are
bargains there for rich and poor, for
it sells the finest of custom made

Hotel.
The New Gsyoso Hotel was the
scene last night Of one OF the most de-

composed Of the following gentlemen:
NJ. NJ. GilChrist, w. A. Stewart,
Dave Frazier and Stoney Mont
gomery. The Gayoso Hotel ia
admirably adapted for the Civ
ing q balls, its spacious ballroom
capable OF accommodating five hum
dred couples without cIOWdiDg, leads
into corridors extending in four
directions and forming a promenade
that adds indescribably to the altrae.
tlYeness of the dancing hall.
Near by is the roomy dining
hall which last night presented
a sight which Mr.. Subett, the
steward OF the hotel, pointed to with
Just pride. Covers were laid for l26
persons, each cover provided with a
small bouquet and a bill of fare prin ted
upon satin, heavily backed with
board, one OF Tcof's most exquisite
designs, and in every way worthy OF
the occasiol-an occa3ion where
elegance aud taste were conspicuous.
The tables were ranged into three
rows, and groaned under the weight
of artistically designed floral decora-
tons over which here and there pyra-
mids Of iancifully conceived pastry
lowered high in the air. After su, ,per,
which was announced at midnigh and
was composed of delicacies that would
tempt sybarits, dancing was re-
sumed and was in full progress when
