The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners for
July was held yesterday morning. The
session was comparatively brief, and
very little business of Importance was
under consideration. The matter of
correcting erroneous assessments was
not taken up and it is not likely that
the commissioners will act as a Board
of Equalization and Appeals during the
month of July, as several members
will be absent on their vacations, in
Guiding President w. P. McGregor.
The reading of minutes consumed
considerable time, on account of the
frequent meetings of the Board. The
reports of committees were read, and
the bills which they approved were or
dered paid, as follows:
Court house and jail................s IS q
FINANCE Observation-Disclosures. 490 Oh
Poor house and farm. SOS &c
Contingent poor fund. ............... 7S7 so
Roads and bridges. ,619 81
Total ........ ......................$3 STA 08
The Committee on Court House and
Jail reported that it had awarded the
contract for furnishing the court
house with ice during the season, at
his bid of II cents per 100 pounds, to
Geo. Crumbacker.
The Finance Committee credited the
sheriff with county orders amounting
to $16,53S85.
The superintendent of the poor farm
reported receipts in the month of
$103.96, and inmates totalling 80.
The Board received a petition ask
ing that the county establish a monu-
ment or tablet on the grave on Short
Creek of Major Samuel McColloch, an
historic character in the early days of
the county. The matter was referred
to the Committee on Finance The
grave is located near old Fort Van
Meter on Mrs. Ridgley's property.
The sheriff returned his delinquent
list for the year 1899 and it was ac-
cepted and referred to the Finance
Committee.
The jury commissioners returned
their lists.
The amended ordinance of the Ohio
Valley Railway Company was present.
ed. 1t provides, as previously stated
in the Register, for right of way for
tracks for electrically operated cars,
from the north line of the city to the
| north line of the county, along the
river road. The name of the road was
changed, at the instance of the COM
panys attorney, to Nosthern Ohio
! Valley Railway Company
A number of suggestions were made
relative to paving, ETC., and County
Engineer Robert Hazlett stated that
the road could be constructed in ac-
cordance with the survey without caus-
ing any inconvenience to the county.
Upon motion of Mr.. Fritz, the ordin-
ance went over until such time as the
Board may fix for its consideration.
In the meantime printed copies will
probably be placed in the hands of the
commissioners.

Mrs. Gomez Failed to Get
 Passage on Ocean Fleet.
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW
Navigation wm opsn Early, and Therefore Rush to Nome by This Route May Be Reasonably Ex- Pootod to Set in Soon.

Mrs. F. D. Gomez, who left a month ago to go to Nome bv way of Seattle and the ocean route, returned Sunday on the steamer Cottage Cltv disappointed but hopeful. She was disappointed In not finding 1t possible 10 get berth for Nome by any of the big steamers of the first feet to sail from Seattle, but hopeful that she would not be far behind in the race should she come here and take the Yukon river route. She says good many In Se- attle are talking of coming this way for Nome, especially those who do not intend to take much freight.
 In regard to the river route, It appears from reports that are being received that the river may be open for navigation in two weeks, A report from the Bennett of- Zee of the Dominion line says parts of Lake LaBarge Is open and 35 miles of the river from LaBarge down are open. The Pelly river Is open at It's mouth, and the Yukon Is practically given out SO far as Its lev surface highway Is concerned from Sel- kirk this way. This news came yesterday to E. s. Busbv, supervising agent of Ca nadlan customs, who Is in charge of the Dominion telegraphic matters at this point.
 News also came from a reliable source yesterday that Lake Bennett is fast beeom- Ing bad,

from Dawson, reports the season too late for wheel travel, and says the indications are that the Yukon will be open as far down as Dawson by May s. This predle- tlon, he says, Is made by one of the old Indians at Dawson.
 Already travellers have begun to gather on the shores of the upper waters Of the Yukon In preparation for the trip to Daw- son and to Nome by boat down the rlver' Among the passengers arriving Sunday on the Cottage City was a Mrs. Berry, whose husband IS building a boat at LaBarge In which he and his wife and others will go down the river to Nome. The season Of barge and boat building on Lake Bennett has begun with a snap. J. I. Watson, who returned Sunday from Bennett, says the building of the three big ssows for the railroad and steamers for the John Irving Company, and smaller craft at that point, makes Bennett one of the llvellest points In the North.
 In regard to her experience in Seattle, Mrs, Gomez avs:
 "l went there intending to go by ocean to Nome. but upon Inquiry at the offices of all the tlg steamers that are advertised for Nome found they had no first class ac> left. lwOuld not go second class and did not care to take a steam schooner or oth.r small and unlnvltlng craft, so decided to come back to Skagwav and take the Yukon route to Nome.

Hayne' Gets Tired of Mo- tius and Counter Motions.
INTERESTING DEBATE
It Was the Close of tho Y. M. o. A.
 Debates and Was to Be on Puerto Rico, but It Was Really on Chop
 Logio and Parliam sntary Taotios.

The closing debate of tn. '. N. C. A. for the season, which took place last night In ihe new quarters at the St. Jimes Hotel proved to be one of the most enjoyable Of the season although the gentlemen who were to lead the debate were both absent. The question was Resolved, that We should have free trade between Puerto Rico and the United States" and Attorney Price was to appear for the affirmative and Attorney Jennings for the negative. Both these gentlemen being absent the question was thrown open to the house.
 J. J. Paulsell spoke for the affirmative. with the seriousness that Is natural to him. and Col. Leddy led for the negative. The judges were L. H. Burke, P. E. Kern and Mrs. ]. C. Jordan, and the chairman. ]. T. Hayne.
 Both the seriousness of the opening speeches and the debate generally was lost sight of In the subsequent sparring for parliamentary points. Mr. Shorthill had spoken we'll In the affirmative and Attorney Miller In the negative, and there were others on each side who were endeavonng to argue It out when this game of parlia' mentary tactics was introduced, and Seere- tarv Reid was the innocent raiser of the enjoyable tumult.
 Mr. Reid moved that the time of each debater be extended five minutes. Mr. Grimes moved an amendment that the ex- tension be an hour and five minutes. Col. Leddy moved an amendment to this amendment, and somebody offered sub stitute providing that each side be al- lowed three quarters of an hour, to owhieh an amendment and substitute amend ment were offered reducing the total time of argument to one hour.
 This was enough to take ones breath away. but there followed an amendment to lav the substitute amendment on the table, and Bro. Psulsell moved the pre- vIous question. Then some one thought , he would cut the knot In two and moved "thst we now adjourn" but ready par liamentarian moved to amend by adding "to meet again in five minutes" and at this point Chairman Havne gave it up, lost his parliamentary head. so to speak and ungallantlv resigned.
 Secretary Reid poured (metaphorealIy) two cans of almond oil on the troubled waters, and the vote taten was overwhelm. ing In the affirmative, but there wele no more tests of parliamentary tactics.

of Wisconsin is committed 10 certain
