MORE FEES
ARE CLAIM ED
By County Commissioners
From ex-Register of Deeds.
DIVISION OF EXCESS FEES
It Is Alleged That County Did
Not Get Full Share.

AT the county commissioners meeting
yesterday afternoon the following reso-
luton was offered by Mr.. Redfeld:
Whereas, the fees of the Office Of the
register of deeds for the official term of
]. NJ. Kerr, commencing January S, 1900
and ending January II, 1903 not includ-
ing fees collected by him for general in
dex purposes), are made apparent by the
following statement, to-wit:

ing statement that of Sedgwick county

be it
Resolved. That the county attorney be
and is hereby instructed to enter suit in
the district court of Sedgwick county
against J. NJ. Kerr, ex-register of deeds.
and his bondsmen for the recovery into
the treasury of the sum of s.. 097. 80, being
the balance of excess fees due said county
of Sedgwick and unpaid by the said j. M.
Kerr, as herein explicitly set forth"
Mr.. Bradberry was in the chair when
the resolution was offered and the vote
taken. The resolution was passed unani-
mously.
According to the Kansas law, the regis
ter of deeds is allowed all of the fees of
his office up TO certain amount, and in
excess of this amount the fees are to be
divided equally between the county and
the register.
The commissioners allege that Mr.. Kerr
did not turn into the treasury the full
amount of excess fees collected by the
register, and the commissioners have de-
cided to commence proceedings to collect
this balance claimed to be due Sedgwick
county, as shown by the statement given
in the resolution.
Some weeks ago the commissioners call
ed on the sheriff and the register, who
retired from office January II, and asked
for a complete statement of fees collect
ed and expenses during their terms of
office, and the statement given In the
resolutions was taken from the regis
ter's own statement and county records.

BANK DEPOSITS
SHOW INCREASE
Gain in City Banks Over a
Quarter Million Dollars.
WICHITA Is MONEY CENTER
Statement of Amount on De-
post in Each Bank.
WICHITA Is MONEY CENTER

The national banks of this city yester-
day received a call from the comptroller
of the currency to render a statement
of their condition at the close OF business
on February G. Their statements will
Stow a very healthy financial condition
Of the banks and the city The last
statement of the national banks was
made November Is, and since that time
the eight banks of this city have shown
gain in deposits of over a quarter of
a million dollars and now amount to
nearly four and a half million dollars.
This is certainly a good showing, es-
pecially at this time OF the year, when
banks in the west are supposed 10 show
a falling off in deposits. There are sew
eral Facts shown by this statement that
are worthy of note. The National Bank
of commerce has risen in deposits until it
Is nearing the million dollar mark, and
re Kansas National is touching the
heels of the big Fourth National in spite
of the fact that the latter bank keeps
going ahead and shows a neat gain over
its last statement
The new banks are making a rernarka-
BILE showing. The American State bank
has come up until its deposits are now
close to a quarter of a million dollars
The National Bank of Wichita, which
has been launched only about 120 days,
makes a most remarkable statement for
such new bank. It's deposits in round
numbers are now $4,000. The State
Savings bank, moving along with it's
conservative trend. has passed the fifty
thousand dollar mark. The other two
state banks, the Commercial and the
Citizens, are showing a good business
The deposits in the Citizens, the new
Ink on the West Side, already has near
= $4,000.
Following is a correct statement of the
money on deposit in the banks of this
city at the close of business February G,

A REED SHAKEN
WITH the WIND
witnout Will Power. Courage, Ann
bition, Energy or Hope, the Dys-
peptic Is willing to Give
Up the Struggle.

The Confirmed dyspeptic has as little
interest in life as any human being. He
is untitled for its duties and isindifferent
to its charms. He is unable IL. enjoy the
business and social relations that consti-
tute the life of the average man. All
his hopes are absorbed~by the one hope to
get well and again be able to enjoy the
good things of life. Until this is realized
he is sick at heart and feels himself to
be of little use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the suf-
ferer's tree of life. They will cure him
and bring him health and happiness just
as sure and certain as he takes them.
They are sure because they are natural
and no other cure but natural one is
sure. They act on the food and digest
it just as well as a stomach would. They
contain exactly the same chemical prop
critics as the digestive fluids of the stom-
acl.
By putting Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
in a bottle or jar with any kind of food;
meat, eggs or vegetables, with sufficient
amount Of. water. the process of digestion
is carried out just as it is in a healthy
human stomach and in the same time
There is consequently no unnA tural dis
turbance of the digestive organs resulting
from the use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. They relieye the weak and wern-
out stomach of its work and permit it to
rest up and recuperate and regain its
normal health and strength.
A well-known Buffalo physician says:
81 prescribe Stuprt's Dyspepsia Tablets
on all occasions as a relief for weakened
and run down stomachs. / find they
contain all the ingredients necessary for
the proper digestion of food and will do
more tolgiye the stomach the needed rest
than any medicine could prescribe. They
have never failed TO give immediate re-
lief in all my cases and / do not hesitate

dyspepsia

TROLLEY RULERS
CONFER.
Manager Wheatley ,superin-

Subordinates Dis
cuss Complaints.
WANT 10 IMPROVE THE SERVICE
Delays the Result Of conges-
ted Truck Traffic Num-
Der Of Cars to be In
creased.

General Manager Wheatley, General
Superintendent Stanley and all the divis-
ion superintendent and head of engineer
ing departments of the trolley lines of the
Public Service Corporation held three
hours conference this morning, during
which they discussed numerous COM
plants that have been made concerning
the trolley service in this city and county
and means for removing cause for such
complaints. The complaint of delays in
thips, it was agreed, was caused princi-
pally by congestion of truck traffic in va
rious sections of the county. They were
in session from ten o'clock this morning
to one this P. NJ
The division superintendents were told
to have the snow sweepers ready to send
out at moments notice and not let the
snow get the best of them.
The pounding that the corporation has
received since the condition of some of
the cars and of lack of proper Facilities
was discussed thoroughly and arrange
ments were made to put more cars on
some of the lines This cannot be done,
when it was announced after the confer
ence that the company would be in re-
ceipt of fifty of the many new cars or
dered when the Public Service Corpora
ton absorbed the various lines. These
cars are to be distributed all over the
lines, but Jersey City lines will get the
lions share of them.
Many other matters concerning the i'm
proyement of the service were discussed.
Trolley traffic on the North Hudson
and Hudson City lines was greatly i'm
peded this morning by the burning out
of fuses, said to have been due to the
condition of the tracks on account of
the snow People who live in the north
ern section and hurrying to their work
in New York were delayed in numerous
instances from half an hour to an hour.
Considerable complaint is heard from
passengers who use the Grove street
cars at night and are obliged to change
at the Henderson street elevated station

be stricken down before they could be-

commence going regularly. Many, he

their minds up to begin going to mass
