two very strange men, the Rev. Rich

horses pulls the wagon about the coun-
try. The Rev. Richard B. Godfrey and

queer. On their hats they wear small
signs on which appear the words: Get

there is an organ and a small pulpit.

THAT LIGHTNING CHANGE.
How It Was Made on the Crawford
Stage Last Night.

OF course everybody who saw THE
Prisoner of Zenda" last night knows
that the drunken king and the young
Englishman who walked in up-tO-date
dress from the other side of the stage
As seconds after he was locked up IN
his room, were one and the same man.
There are three lightning changes
in THE Prisoner of Zenda' but of the
three the second change is the quick
est. 1t was made last night in exactly
IS seconds, and then it was five seconds
behind Mr.. Gould's usual time.
The audience saw Mr.. Gould stagger
up the steps at the left of the stage and
fall forward into the room, and an in
slant later supposedly fail back in the
arms of Fritz and Sapt. But by the
time his supposed self had reached the
arms of the faithful attendants, Mr.
Gould was in reality in the midst of an
interesting scene at the back OF the
stage. 1t was L. Z. CONFESS who fell
backward on the floor instead of Mr..
Gould.
The minute he staggered forward Mr..
Gould made a flying leap toward the
rear of the stage and Mr.. CONFESS slip
ped in from the side and took his place.
AS he made the leap MI. Gould was
throwing off the military coat of the
king as he struck the floor one of his
dressers tore off the heavy blonde wig
as he ducked his head while another
cIapped lighter one in it's place. With
a man at each leg, the heavy boots and
military trousers were torn of in a
trice leaving Mr.. Gould in an undress
consisting of the walking suit in which
he appeared as the young EngliSnmau-
He dropped into a chair a moment, as
the two dressers slipped a pair Of slip
pers on his feet, and adjusted the blonde
beard and a moment later calmly
walked in from the lett or the stage as
the self satisfied young Englishman-
The change from the young English
man to the drunken king in the first
act and from the crazy king to the dar-
ing rescuer in the last act are rapid.
but more time is given him than in the
second change. Mr.. Gould says that
the rapid changes are eXhausting, ana
that he is compelled to sleep for several
hours each afternoon to make up for
the eXertiOn of the NIGHT.

COUNTY REGISTERS FEES.
Attorney General Boyle Decides a
Case For Frank Stevens and
Others

The county officers in Kansas are be-
ginning to realize the true meaning of
! the new fee bill.
Register of Deeds Frank L. Stevens
was in doubt about the fees for filing
papers. He thought by an expression
IN the law that he might be permitted
to make an additional charge of %
cents for filing each warranty deed, and
as these instruments make a good part
of the business of the Office the aggre-
gate would be important. But Attor-
ney General Boyle has made a deciS-
ion on the point which will allow the
register of deeds to make a charge of
but IS cents for filing deeds, while the
dollar.
People who have any business with
the register of deeds may profit by
reading the following opinion:
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 8, 1885,
f. L. Stevens. Esq. Register of Deeds,
Topeka, Kan:
Dear Sir: Your communication of
January 8 in reference to the fees of
register of deeds at hand. You desire
to know what fee a register of deeds
shall receive for certifying the date of
filing, the volume and page of the rec
ord, attaching thereto the seal of Of
flee.
In reply will say that section Is of
chapter 131 of the session laws of 1897,
in part, reads as follows;
For recording deeds, mortgages or
folio, 10 cents. For certifying, filing
any instrument on record, cents. En-
tering any instrument on the reception
record, 5 cents. Each entry on the gem
eral index, both direct and indirect, in
Guiding description of property, cents
Each entry on the numerical index, if
any, including description of property,
10 cents. For filing each paper requir-
ed to be fled other than papers for rec
ord, 5 cents. For copy of deeds or 9TH
er instruments recorded, per folio, 8
cents. For recording town platS, 100
lots or less, 81 Each additional 100
lots, ST. For certificate and seal other
than instruments for record, 25 cents. j"
1t seems to me that the law is very
clear, that when you hle an 1nStru-
men for record in your Office and make
the certificate referred to in your let
ter, filing the same on the back OF the
instrument, that it is only cents, as
the law specifically says in terms for
each certificate or filing and instrument
for record, cents. The % cents which
a register of deeds may be allowed for
each certificate of fling an instrument
for other than instruments for record;
and it could not be claimed that when
you file deed or mortgage, or other
paper the express intention of which
was that the same should be made OF
record in your office, that TINS paper
would not be for record You make
certificate and attach your seal to some
instrument that was not intended to be
recorded in your office, for which the
law says you can make a charge or
% cents; but my judgment is that this
25 cent certificate does not apply to
any instrument which it is your duty
to file in your office. That is to say,
the certificate that you make on said
instrument showing that 1t was hled,
the date and volume in which it was
recorded.

man Parke.
M. P. Stann of Albuquerque, N. M,

Among others who have signified
their intention of coming here are most

rnittee including Mr.. Washburn of BOs-
ton.
Chairman Milton Parke, of Dallas, of
the organization committee which was
appointed at the convention of the
Middle of-the-R POpulists held last
year in Memphis, was asked what was
the purpose of the conference.
He said: THE Memphis conference
was called for the purpose of express
ing dissatisfaction of the middle-of-the
readers with the nOn-action of the ma
tionaI committee in matters pertaining
to the party's policy. AS a, result of
the meeting the national organization
committee was appointed to do the
work that the national committee fall
ed to do. The conference Will meet for
the purpose of bringing the members
of the two committees together and as
pertaining what should be done for the
good of the party before the campaign
and election of 1900 and who should do
it. We wish to come to an understand
ing on matters relating to the calling
of a national nominating convention
and as to the policy to be followed at
coming elections. None of the middle
of-the-roaders favors fusion with the
Democrats and 1 am pretty certain
that PopuliStS everywhere will have
nothing to do with fusion. The con-
ference which will probably last two
days will be behind closed doors and
nothing will be given out until it's con-
clusion."
