The state officials and the members OF the capitol
are in quandaTy. The new capitol is
all complete and ready for occupancy, uAat how to
get in IL the trouble There is money -ailable
for moving, for furnishing or for maintenance. The
officials weuld BIKE one best in the world to end their
terms in the structure, and there is iitte doubt
but they will find way, bat just yet the way is not
clear. IL was proposed TO the governor that he
borrow the necessary fnnds but be has deetsed to
do so. The proposition nOw is that the de Nd
seats in the old representatives hall aud youate
chamber shSll be moved te the new capitol, but
that would be like like putting new wine in old
bottles, and Il will be very distasteful to the
legislators to come to Jackson next January aud
have to sit il rusty old seats and disfgRUed desks
It Bas been suggested that each member Of the new
legislature sheuld be cUrresBOnded with and his
promise to vote to replace any sum that might be
expended on the new building secured above his
own signature. This was proposed to the governor,
and it is said that he declined TO be party to it.
It has also been discovered that the appropriation
for coal will not Tua the new capitol plant more
than month: Should the officials move in now
the coal would all be used up before the first Of De-
cember and there wOuld be no money for more.
Another thing that is troubling tie commissioners
and the officials is that they have no experienced
electricians or macbinists to the plant. Several
have offered their services, but their responsibility
is not known and it is feared that they might do
more damage than good. A man Of experience is
wanted, but such cannot be had on credit. Take it
altogether the state s in bad shape for getting into
her new capitOldn time for the next legislature.

the streets were thronged and during
the game all available places were oc-

children.
The home boys appeared arraycd
in new uniforms of red and yellow,
while the Tonopah colors were gray
aud red.
Partisans of the various clubs were
decked in ribbons and roseates bear
ing the colors of their favorites.
Game was called at halfpast |,
with Tonopah at the bat Duffield
got first on balls and Stoddard got
there on an infield hit wildly thrown.
Both reached the home plate in safe
ty, when their side was retired. Up
to the seventh inning neither side
made another run. In the seventh
Tonopab made 2, in the eighth 2 and
in the ninth 4. Esmerada made in
the seventh and that was all they
did make in the game. Following is

UNCLAIMED COSTS
FURNISH SOURCE
OF GOOD INCOME
Local Collector Investi-
oates Old Lawsuits to
His Advantage.
HOW WITNESS FEES ACCUMULATE.

Unclaimed costs In common pleas
court furnish source of revenue to
A. T. McCutcheon, who makes bus
mess of looking up and collecting
them for persons who are at distant
points. Just what amount is collected
within a year cannot be acsertained,
but 1t is said to be quite snug sum-
The costs accumulate usually owing
to the delays in the settlement of
cases. Frequently a year or two or
three will elapse between the hearing
of suit in common pleas and its final
settlement in the higher courts. Con-
tinuances, rehearings, appeals to cir
cult and supreme courts, all contrib
ute toward delays, and often when
there Is final disposition of a case
and 1t Is determined who shall pay
the costs, some of the original wit
nesses have moved away, forgotten all
about the fact that fees are coming, or
they may have died and their claims
become part of. their estates.
HOW COLLECTIONS ARE MADE.
1t Is the collectors business to make
an examination of the dockets and as
certain what fees have not been paid
to witnesses or others. The next
thing Is to locate the witness and no.
tify him that for 25 per cent OF the
amount Tie costs will be collected. A
blank consent is sent which the wit
ness signs and returns which gives
the collector the right to collect and
sign the docket for the witness.
Sometimes the claims run back over
a period of 20 years or more and it
is hard work to locate the parties to
whom they are due. Occasionally it
turns out that through the careless
ness of the clerks who were in Office
years before, these fees cannot be
collected. The rule is that all un-
claimed costs that come into the hands
of the clerks are to be turned into
the county treasury. The money goes
to the county If not called for, but can
be reclaimed at any time that the right
party appears.
HARD WORK INVOLVED.
Mr.. McCutcheon stated that he gave
the matter of collecting unclaimed
costs considerable Of his time. But !
tell you one thing" said he, p" man
works pretty hard for what he gets
out Of 1t. The amounts are usually
small and the trouble great"
A clerk of courts has hard row to
hoe the first year he is in Office. Near
ly all the fees he collects go to his pre-
decessor. They are in cases which
were started several years before and
the great bulk Of the work was done
at the time of the fling Of the case.
Recently over $40 was collected by
Clerk Wise which went to Ex-Clerk
Wilcoxen, who has been out of Office
seven years. There is just one con-
ISOLATION to the new man, and that is
the contemplation Of the fact that
when he gets out of Office his success
sor will be collecting and turning over
costs to him during the years that fol-
low.
