TAKES CHARGE TO-DAY
Mr.. Daniel Boone Succeeds
Mr., Lloyd as Treasurer
OF SEDGWlCK COUNTY
Office Receipts Show Increase
During Four Years.

County Treasurer Lloyd retires today
and Mr.. Daniel Boone, county treasurer
elect, Immediately takes his place in that
Office.
He and his competent assistants have
satisfactorily performed every duty de-
volving upon them The treasury books
are now in splendid shape The system
OF bookkeeping maintained during the
last few years is greatly superior to the
methods used in the Office ten years ago
A balance is struck now every day 50
that the smallest OF mistakes are avoid
ed.
A word should also be said concerning
the appearance Of the books. Every page
looks neat and clean. This is only an
incidental evidence Of the careful work
that has been done.
When Mr.. Lloyd came into Office. Oc-
tober 1S, 1896. he received from John a.
Doran, his predecessor, So 1O4.04 This
was the amount in the treasury after
subtracting what was shown to be due
the city OF Wichita and the city schools
Today when Mr. Boone takes charge OF
the books, the amount on hand, less the
amount due Wichita and the city
schools, viii be Sl57, s4S2 q. This IS more
than four times as much money as Mr.
Lloyd received four years ago.
The above gain is partially due to
higher taxes. Another cause. the peopIe
have been more able 20 pay their taxes.
The gain has been a steady one during
the last four years. The amount on hand
year ago was s115, 405 20 The gain in
amount on hand for the year IS So. Isl. 80
During the past year current tax col
lected amounts to Sass, 1884; back tax COL

making a total of $685.. 1892 received from
all sources
The tax roll for 1899 was to the amount
OF s513, The above figures show
that As5, ToS-34 of this was paid in, Ieav-
ing but s27.s44.i not collected.
While there have been more than a
hundred tax sales last year, the aggre-
gate amount IS not SO large this year.
This report compares favorsbly with
previous years The gain Of over 100000
during the last four years in amount on
hand is accountable from the fact that
people in the county have been more
prosperous and even though the rate Of
tax is now higher property owners can
afford to pay it
Mr.. Boone, the new county treasurer,
is well known in this county and by his
experience and capabllity will make a
splendid officer

Includes Gate Receipts and PeFcen-
tages From Attractions.

The carnival association people were
busy a. Iday yesterday in settling up for
their bills over the city AS yet nothing
is definitely known as to the financial

among the officials is that the association
will not make any money, but will just
about meet the expenses.
The gross receipts from the midway
was sl0,372-55, and Of this sum the asso-
ciation received from the gate admit
lance and percentages Of the amounts re-
ceived by the attractions, 4,491s5- The
gate receipts amounted to s2,s1s.25. with
two afternoons OF the week when no adj

COMPLIMENTS FOR CARNIVAL
Outside Papers are Saying Nice
Things Of 1t

Charles F. Scott, Of lola, Republican
candidate for congressman-at-Iargs was
In Wichita carnival week and Erites In
his paper, the lola Register:
When Wichita starts out to do a thing
she does it to the queens taste. She
started out this week to entertain the
people Of southwest Kansas and Okla
hOma- and she is doing it with royal
-heartedness that is as character
lstic as it Is commendable. The town is
8 glory Of flags and banners by day, and
maze Of lights by night The street
fair IS doubtless most perfect in its ap-
pOintmeuts as well as the largest and
most attractive in the matter Of its dis
plays. The midway is clean. entertaining
with enough attractions to occupy half
the night If one makes the rounds OF all
Of them. CAnd everybody makes all the
rounds, for the people IN the neighbor-
hood Of Wichita are rich this year, And
with AL this glare and glitter the old SOL
1iers are not forgotten. Riverside park
IS made over TO them and they are camp
Ing comfortably under the trees and
having more solid enjoyment than any
body. It is carnival week in very
truth IN Wichita. and the town cannot
be given too much credit for the splendid
and lavish way in which it IS entertain
ing its visitors"
The Conway Springs Star says:
The people who went 70 Wichita say
that the fair is very good. The flower
Parade Wednesday and the electric pa
ader last night were the best features
both OF which were very fine"
The Hutchinson News saws:
Wichita had an immense crowd Of peo-
pie yesterday. Hutchinson could have a
larger one any year by giving a Salt
Palace show. But 10 do it, the citizens OF
Hutchinson viii have TO do Ike they do
IN Wichita. Everybody pull together
and everybody pun for Hutchinson first,
last and all the time"
