1T is A MISFlT.
The New Fee Law Causes
Anxiety.
City and County Officers Meet and
Discuss the Embarras sment
1t Will Occasion.

The law made by the last Legislature pre-
scribing n ew methods governing the collection
OF fees in all the fee Offices OF the city and
county government is causing the officers
whom 1t chiefly affects any amount OF anxiety,
and they held meeting last evening In Treas
urer Widber's Office TO discuss the situation.
The law Is prom ounced cumbrOus in the ex-
treme and will greatly handicap the trans
action of business. AS explained nv Clerk Of
the Justices Court Williams its requirements
are practically impossible of fulfllment. Under
its provisions, instead of paying the fee
to the officer with whom the business is
done, all fees must be paid to the
Treasurer. For instance, lawyer desires to
file paper with the County Clerk; that officer
writes a statement of what is desired, and
gives the lawyer tag containing the infOrma-
ton, and naming the amount OF the fee in such
case. The lawyer carries This TO the Treasurer,
TO whom he pays the fee. The Treasurer gives
him receipt for the money, which he carries
back, and presents to the County Clerk. That
officer then gives him receipt for the receipt
and flies the paper. Mr.. Williams explained
moment 10 transact such business, no matter
how important il be- AT one minute TO a
O'Clock lawyer presents his paper, get hi
building and finds the Treasurers office closed
he can't pay the fee; he ruShes back TO the
Clerks Office, and that office is closed; the
statute of limitations runs out with his case be-
fore the oflces open again, and lie is out of
court. "Ihls Is not straining an illustration"
said MIR. Williams ''for there is a case now be-
fore the Supreme Court depending on just such
situation where paper was filed late on the
last day, the lawyer did not pay the fee, the
clerk scratched off the filing mark, 1t was set
tied for the next day and the other side raised
the question. As for me, my office is required
by law to remain op-n until 5 O'Clock, the
TreaSurer'S office closes at o'clock, so that
for one hour no business could be done. Law
yers will come to me to file papers in that hour.
Ii [ refuse l am held responsible for damages
that might result, and | Will not refuse for

The law was discussed in all its phases.
There were present, besides those mentioned:
Auditor BrOderick, Recorder Glynn, Sheriff.
elect Whelan. and, in an advisory capacity,
Clerk Russell of the Board of Supervisors.
The sense of the meeting was tina the law
was wholly impractlcable. All the officers said
they would require extra clerks for these extra
duties, and Treasurer Widber thought he
would need In his Office as many new clerks as
would all of The others combined, and the bill
had made no provision for this greatly increased
expense.
II was decided to meet again SATURDAY. night.
when John p. Dunn, supposed to be the author
OF the bill, and County Attorney Cresweli would
be invited TO meet with them ana figure some
way out Of the difficulty.

Charles PIERCE, young man from Boston,
shot himself through the brain yesterday in

ton that had settled on him would be cured by
the climate. His hopes were not at all real

worse and was about to return 10 his home in

called 10 see her sick son and went direct TO

Upon entering she was Mortified to see him
lying dead G bed with his face covered with
blood and a revolver in his hand. The sight
nearly drove her Wild with grief. Another day
and she had expected TO return with him.

of nearly all The other officers of equal
rank, still he is looked upon as one OF the
Vests best-known and most popular COM
manders.
At the time of his recent appointment to
the rank of brigadier-gene ral, to succeed
General McCook, there were Two other Of
ficers of the same rank who were looked
upon as being in favorable position TO
receive the romotion-ColOnels Graham
and Shafter-but Colonel Forsyth was the
fortunate one, and it is said of him that he
is well worthy of the honor.
For many years ne has been stationed at
Fort Riley, in Central Kansas, where he
was in command of the famous Seventh
Cavalry, but he has been identified in a
more or less prominent manneT with every
Indian war since 1871, when he returned
from Europe with General Phil Sheridan,
for whom he held the position of private
secretary.
As cavalry officer he has been regarded
as one of the most efficient in the army,
and has had charge of the national train
ing-school for that branch of The service,
which is located at the point named, and
for which the largest riding hall in the
country has been built
The general was born at Maumee, Ohio,
and was graduated from West Point in
1850. He married daughter of William
Dennison, the war Governor of that State,
a0Q Immediately moved 10 the N 0rtnWeSt
When the war broke out he went to the
front immediately, and, with Sheridan's
command, participated in more than fifty
battles, gaining both promotion ana COM
mendation from his suDeriors for gallantrv
in the field.
His campaigns against the Bannack tribe
in Montana and against the Cheyennes
when they made their famous raid out of
Wyoming added further to his reputation
as fighter, and in both of which he was
successful.
Colonel Forsyth's last military action
was in connection with the great strike
last summer when his command was
ordered to Chicago, and it was among his
troops that the well-reme NJ bered caisson
accident occurred by which four men were
killed.
His popularity in Kansas is best attested
by the action of the Legislature of that
State, which at it's last session unani-
mously adopted resolution requesting the
President TO appoint him to the rank of
brigadier general when such promotion
became POSSIBLE.
General Forsyth is about So years of
age, and following the custom which pre-
walls in the army he will retire iu 1900. He
has several married daughters living in
this State and son who is now at West
Point. He will make his home for the
present at the Palace.
