FEE AND SALARY LAW
Passed by the Pops Legisla-
ture in 1897
SAID TO BE NULL AND.V0ID
BY Glenn FairchiId, of King
man, a Pop.
SAID TO BE NULL AND. VOL

Two years ago'the Pop Legislature under
| the guise Of doing something, botched up
a long fee and salary Law that more than
anything else perpetrated injustices. Las:
winter the legislature tried TO patch up
the Pop law and there is a regular tangIe
in store for county officers all over Kaa-
sas. But the trouble will arise over the
general fee and salary law passed by the
Pop legislature of 1897. 1t is now claimed
that, like many of their other acts, the
passage of this act was unconstitutional.
This claim is made by Glenn Fairchilds
of Kingman, who was a Popullst leader
in the 1897 house.
Mr.. Fairchilds made 4 special trip to
Topeka 10 look up the legislative rec
ords in reference TO the passage Of this
law. He found such caring defects in
IL that ne pronounces it a nullity.
One defect IS the fact that the certificate
Of the officers of the house found on the
original MI shows that it passed the
.ouse five days before it actually did, as
shown by the house ournal. 1t seems
to lie the general opinion of lawyers WE
have considered the facts developed by
Mr.. Fairchild's investigation that the 1897
fee and salary law is no good, mere
blank paper.
The fee and salary law of 1899 is merely
an amendment OF sixteen sections Of the
law of 1897 If the 1897 law be void, if it
really is no law, then the 1899 law IS
nullity. In that event Sedgwick county
officers will be placed back on the special
fee and salary law of 1895. Other coIn-
ties, not having special fee and salary
laws. will go back TO the old fees and
salaries in force for many years.
But this will not be the only effect upon
Sedgw.ck county officers. The money
that the several county officers have paid
into the treasury under the laws of 1897
and 1899 can be recovered from the county.
II the 1897 law is invalid, this money docs
not belong to the county but to these Off
GERS. On the other hand. the fees and
salaries Of the county officers will be eff
fected, generally raised.

Reputation.
Harmony Council 123, F. a. A, gave an
open meeting Monday evening at their
large hail, corner Topeka and Douglas.
and il was one of the most successful
, entertainments that has been given by
any society in Wichita this year. Har-
mony council is noted for its social fea-
lures, which Is surpassed by none, and IS
a great drawing card in securing new
members.
Every member Of this popular council
makes a special effort TO add to the social
features land their regular monthly enter
tainments are looked forward 10 with in
terest by all the members and their
friends, who are being initiated at every
meeting. The entertainment Monday
evening was no exception to the rule. as
every one is more interesting and draws
larger crowds than the former one, and
this was pronounced by all the best yet
given.
The large, commodious hail was crowd
ed, standing room being at a premium
and the frequent encores was evidence
that the program was a good one and
highly appreciated by all resent.
The program was quite lengthy, but
every number was so well rendered by
our best loca! talent that il was far from
being w5ariSome.
After the rendition Of the musical and
literary program delicious ice cream and
cake were served and a social chat and
haud-shake was enjoyed by all, while the
Nnhaup; orchestra furnished the music.
To comment on any one OF the per-
formers would do others an injustice, as
every number deserves special mention.
Most Of them were recalled by an appre-
ciat-ve encore ard their responses were
equally as good. Those who missed this
pleasant and enjoyable entertainment

jamestown Capital: The Cleveland
freight wreck destroyed thousands of
dollars of property. In less than 200
feet nineteen freight cars were piled up
in a cut. Nine cars of general merchan-
disseminating everything from a churn
to a post ofice-were piled up, together
with two cars of blacksmith coalin sacks,
a car of salt, one of hardwood lumber
a total wreck-a car of syrup, etc., etc.
A hundred men were set to work saving
the freight, and not until almost mid
night was a hole cut through in order to
allow trains to pass. The company was
hampered by the loss of its wrecking
outfit when the car shops were burned.
The loss of some cars was total, not even
the number being ascertainable.
