As long as organized governments are or made any report of fees to the commissioners; yet they audited the bill and no fees were deducted from his salary. The county clerk's salary has been paid also by the commissioners without deducting the fees, and as near as we can find out he has absorbed in two years more than $5000 of the fees belonging to the county.

Yet the Wichita Eagle come out last Wednesday and lauds this very county clerk to the stars and praises his efficiency. Yes, he is a honey! He canafford to put up to a Republican campaign fund a large sum of money for protection. And this is not all; we will have something else to say of him in the future. Now then, here is another duty of the board of county commissioners that is not complied with, which is a great safe guard to the taxpayers and we cannot account for its suppression unless for the purpose of covering up the tracks that this wholesale pilfering of the county funds might not be detected by the taxpayers.

Municipal officers have just powers conferred upon them by statute and none others; and when the law charges a public officer with a particular duty, he and he alone must perform the duty in that particular manner, and that duty must not be done in any other way. County commissioners are ministerial officers, say the supreme court, and their duties are laid down in the statutes which must be followed to the letter. In many instances, so llagrant have been the violations of law by the county officers of this county, that they have come to amount to an utter disregard of it. If the county clerk, treasurer and board of county commissioners had been a law unto themselves, and had made a law to fit each transaction as they went along, they could not have acted in more disregard of the statute. We will call attention to the statutes of 1880, section 3012, which reads as follows: "lie (the county clerk) shall keep an account of the said fees in a book to be provided for that purpose, showing the amount charged and the amount received, from whom and for what purpose, and the date thereof.

The footings for each month shall, at the close thereof, be legibly and correctly entered in a book, opposite the month during which the same have been collected or charged, showing the amount charged, the amount received, and the amount remaining due and unpaid." Section 3013 reads: "He shall, on the first Monday after the iirst Tuesday of April and the first Monday of July and October in each year, make out and present to the board of county commissioners a detailed statement of the amount of fees by him received during the preceding quarter, together with the amount of fees charged which are due and unpaid; which report shall be under oath, and the same Khali be filed with the register of deeds." The same provisions are made in regard to the fees of the treasurer's office in sections 3021 and 3022, except that the statement of fees be filed with the county clerk instead of the register of deeds. Now these provisions of the statute have not been complied with by these officers, and the fees of their respective offices belonging to the county, have not been turned into the county treasury in accordance with positive law, but have been absorbed contrary to law. Neither has there been any fee-book kept, as by law provided, by either of them; nor has there been any statement of fees collected or charged been filed by the clerk with the register of deeds, nor a statement of treasurer's fees filed with the county clerk by the treasurer, but the fees have been absorbed. Xow let us turn to the board of county commissioners again and see what duties they have in the premises. AVe quote from section 3017, statutes of 1SS0, which are now in full force and effect.

(County clerk.) 'Said salaries shall be paid out of the county treasury in quarterly instalments, upon the order of the board of county commissioners: Provided, That the amount charged by each county clerk as fees herein provided, for the preceding quarter, shall be first deducted from said quarterly instalment." Sec. 2023 reads the same in regard to the salaries of treasurer. Section 3020 of the statutes read as follows: If any county treasurer shall fail to make to the county commissioners the quarterly report under oath, as herein required, he shall forfeit ten dollars for each day he shall negligently fail to do so, and the board of county commissioners shall in no event audit or order to be paid any quarterly installment of the salary as herein provided, and if any board of county commissioners shall audit and order paid any quarterly or other installment of such salarv, until the report is made and sworn to for such allowance, shall be subject to a fine of one hundred dollars, to be recovered back for the support of common schools of the county as in other cases." In the face of these plain provisions of the law, which it would seem that a blind man could read as he ran, provided he were honest, the county treasurer of this county had the audacity to present to tho board of county commissioners a claim for salary for the quarter ending January 1st, 1894, the sum of 1,000, tho full amount of salary; send his name and post office address to us at once.

The following are the representative sales of hogs at the yards to-day: we have been advertising to close out the entire stock of dry goods at the "Arcade," 147 Xorth Main, and we fear that owing to the fact that we have now been at this for several months, some people are telling it around that our advertisements are only "fakes," and that we have no intention of giving up so prosperous a store as the "Arcade." We are willing to admit that no store in the city of "Wichita has enjoyed a more pleasant and prosperous trade than the "Arcade," for we have always sold goods away down cheap for cash. However, Mr. Editor, we are still at it.

We have already opened out our new wholesale house at 213-215 South Main, and we have neither the money nor the time to run both, and we now positively state to the readers of the Commoner that the stock of dry goods at the "Arcade" is marked away down to less than regular prices, for whether the people believe it or not, we are positively going out of the retail business. 81.00 goods marked down to 75 cents. .75 goods marked down to 50 cents. .50 goods marked down to 35c. .40 goods marked down to 25c.

Good, honest, big-hearted Ren. Wallace, Clerk of the District court of Kingman County, dropped in to see us yesterday while stopping over here on his way to Perry, Oklohoma, where he has property interests. He is a true Populist in every good sense of the word, and his face beamed with delight while relating to us how a poor, downtrodden and deluded brother had recently seen the light on the shore, put there by the friends of humanity, and abandoned the old rotten hulk and entered the life boat of safety the party of the people. Come again you are always more than welcome, for when we see such whole-souled fellows as you are, we feel sure that God will not destroy this nation so long as there are men like you left within its borders.
