COMMISSION
GETS BUSY


up a lot of business yesterday ant
not the least important was a de
mand upon the bondsmen of tn,
county clerk and treasurer for the
money deposited by the treasurer in
the Nye and Ormsby County Bank.
The clerk, who is ex-officio treas
urer presented his quarterly settle
ment with the commissioners show
ing bank book calling for a deposit
of $19.417.61 in the Nye & Ormsby
County Bank and the balance in
cash.
The commissioners called in the
bondsmen, Frank Golden. Henry
Raycraft and made a demand upon
them for the money on deposit, the
bank being in progress of iiquida-
ton.
The bondSmen notified the commits
sioners that they could not produce
the entire amount at once. but pres
ented plan of payment to the COM
missioners. They We're given until
July 20 to arrange for the payment
OF the money.
The funds of the county on deposit
are, according TO the bank officials
secured, and the county will not los"
anything, but the process of law in
receivership precludes the possibility
of getting an Immediate settlement
and the bondsmen Will come through
taking proper assignments and re
ceipts for the money as fast as paid
and will recover from the bank when
the receiver pays off.
All bids for road rollers. for ce-
ment and for work on the county
building were rejected and the clerk
was ordered to file new ADVERTISE
ments for bids. 1t seems that i'll ad-
vertising for road rollers the cali for
bids was cOuched in such language as
to preclude the possibility of COM
petitive bidding on the part OF som"
firms and there was also a large dis
crepancy in the bids. One firm Of
fered an IroquOs roller for $3.50 and
another offered il for $3.50. One bid
was as low as $500 and another as
high as $4,000 The county advertise
es now for a ten ton roller and every
maker of rollers will have a chance
to show what his machine can do in
a demonstration to be held August 4
in this county.
The county also wants linoleum
with which to cover the floor of the
Justice court and wants new bids on
the improvements to be made on the
county building.
The commissioners passed reso-
luton forbidding the assignment OF
claims against the county until said
claims are acted upon by the county !
and become legal
claims.
The collapsible forms for cement !
culvert construction arrived yester- |
day and will be used hereafter in the |
of ali road and street !
rulverts.
The county clerk was authorized to !
furnish his office with a typewriter
and a typewriter desk and he is in |
the market for the same. The clerk !

censes and the collection OF $261 for |
the same.
There is some talk about sewer
and street work in Car |
son City but no official action. bills
were passed for road work and other
expenses, the reports showing
the county to be in good financial
condition and but one delinquent tax
payer in the whole county.

Cole Younger was sent to the Still
water mimi penitentiary for life
and served some 20 years. Then, In
bad health and broken and repentant,
he asked a pardon.
The effort for that pardon developed
nation wide interest. There was bit
ter opposition and also earnest In
sistence that It be grained. No. man
had larger influence toward securing
Il at last than the man whose life
Younger had saved. Senator Elhns,
far from forgetting the service that
had been done him, worked as hard
for the aged outlaw as the famous
old brigand had worked for him. In
the end the pardon was secured, and
Younger proved the good judgment Of
the men who got It for him by living
a worthy life thereafter.

there became acquainted with Senator
Henry Gassaway Davis Of West Viz

WITH eIRDLEs AND sAsHEs
Seasons Fashion Has Led to the Put
ting Out Of Beautiful and
Novel Ribbons.

Gowns are nearly all to be worn
with girdles or sashes. Consequently
the shops have on display a beautiful
collection Of novelty ribbons.
A new ribbon is made Of SILK
material called crepon, which is like
soft-finished rajah. 1t comes IN q
number OF handsome lowered de-
nigns and is an expensive ribbon to

elaborate lightweight toilets. 1t
comes in many varieties, thus diher-
Ing from the old watered-silk designs.
An exquisite pale pink sash worn
with cream cole gown had a flight
Of butterflies embroidered on q MORE
ground. Many of the silk moires In
troduce satin figures in dots or
stripes. A pretty design seen In a
number of shades showed series
OF satin bowhnots on q background OF

Oriental ribbons are conspicuous to
be employed on the light cloth
dresses that introduce oriental en-
broidery. One Of the simpler rib
bons with the fashionable old gold
decoration was of taffeta silk with
large dots of gold gauze. The same
kind of ribbon came with the stripes
OF tafreta and gold gauZe alternating.
The sash will be more Of a novelty
than the girdle on the new gowns, but
of course, it can be used only on
dresses Of a certain character. Be
careful that you tie the new ribbon In
the right way. The sash is brought
round the waist in rather wide. close
folds and tied at the back. 1t falls
little more than halfway down the
skirt, the two ends being of about
equal length. The bow at the waist
IL formed of two loops one over the

The Marital crasshOpper.

What is q grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled torecuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as "grasshoppers." No
doubt the word is the husband Of the
more familiar grass widow."-Lon-
