Kansas County Treasurers.
At the annual meeting in Topeka, last
week, of the county treasurers, there
were about forty present.
No two county treasurers in the LOG
counties in Kansas keep their books
and accounts alike, and the subject un-
der discussion at the meeting was how
this is to be remedied.
There were about forty treasurers in
attendance at the meeting, and each one
of the forty thought his books should be
taken Is an example for the rest. They
all agreed that it would be good thing
If ali the accounts were kept alike, and
thought the reason they are not now is
that no two treasurers put the same
construction on the law which regu-
lates this matter.
It was finally decided to adopt reso-
luton asking the next legislature to 30
amend the statutes that the instruc-
tions to county treasurers would be
uniform.
G. M. Baker, treasurer OF Pottawat-
omie county, read paper on the forms

twenty sheriffs were present.
The subject of the best manner to
run down criminals was brought up,
and the postal card system Of informing

present that the reward offered should
be for the arrest OF the criminal. and
not to include the conviction, as ID gen.
orally the case. This, together with moro
liberal rewards, would, they thought, be
