The county commissioners passed the
following resolution at their meeting yes
terday:
Resolved, That ]. N. Kerr, register
Of deeds of Sedgwick county, Kansas,
be, and is hereby directed and ordered to
deposit in the county treasury of said
equity, to the credit of a special general
index fund, the amount of S1296.So. collect
ed by him from individuals, companies
and corporations for general index pur-
poses from January to August 81, 1901,
inclusive; and tn ehttaiach }. III
inclusive; and that the chairman of the
board OF county commissioners be re-
quested TO deliver to said ]. NJ. Kerr,
register of deeds, certified copy of this
order, and make a verbal demand on him
to comply with the requirements of this
order
This action grew out of the index book
case, which caused considerable excite
nent little more than year ago. Mr..
Kerr was given the contract for compil
ing a set of index books for the register
OF deeds office. The contract was made
by the county commissioners.
There is a state law which provides
for the payment of this work by making
a small charge for each instrument en-
tered for record in the office. Mr.. Kerr
eXacted that charge during the time he
was compiling the books until August 81.
1901, when Judge Dale granted an injunc-
ton against Mr.. Kerr and the county
commissioners. and the work on the books
was stopped. The injunction was granted
on the grounds that the contract made
was illegal.
1t required good many deeds, mort
cages and other papers to be registered
before 81 1850 was secured. The county
now has partial set of index books and
1t is possible that these may be finished
later. The injunction case has been APP
pealed to the supreme court and the de-
MIR Kerr paid out considerable money
TO employees who worked on the index
books but 1t is alleged that the above
amount was collected and is now in the
ex-register of deeds hands, and the COM
missioners have made a formal demand
for the money so that it may be used in
finishing the index books ii the supreme
court decides that this work can be done.

A month or two ago particulars were
given Of two horses being stung to
death by bees near Emerson. The
horses belonged to r. G. Priest and the
bees were the property of Vim. Eaton.
Priest asked for damages and by agree
ment the matter was left to board of
arbitration composed of Chas. e. Laken
for Mr.. Eaton and S. B. Hutchings for
Mr.. Priest. These two selected Chas.
I. Smith as the third man, and last
week they gave Mr.. Priest $40.

Parties sending packages out over the
mail routes by the rural carriers should
bear in mind that anything weighing
under four pounds is subject to postage.
For instance, you can't send a package
of merchandise weighing two pounds by
a carrier by giving him ten cents. The
government requires cent an ounce or
81 cents for a two pound packages and
parties trying to thus evade payment of
postage are liable to a fine Of $40 for so
doing.

The friends of ]. P. Evans, the genial
engineer on one of the passenger trains
of the Charlton and Kansas City branch
of the @, are having the laugh on him
since last Saturday. AS they were com
ing up from st. Joe, near Bethany, Mo-,
Jack put his head out of the cab window
to cough. He is sporting a set of tenn
porary false teeth, which have become
loose, and when Jack gently coughed
they flew out of his mouth onto the
gravel. Fearing that his wife would
not know him without them, he whistled
down breaks, backed the train, found
the truant incisors, returned them to
his mouth and proceeded on his journey.

One Of the greatest problems that con-
fronts minister of the gospel is what
to say at a funeral. A minister dosen't
feel like telling deliberate lie, and yet
there are times when to say anything re-
garding the virtue of the deceased is to
prevaricate in the most outrageous
manner. 'Tis good proverb that says
speak only that which is good of the
dead" but when the good side of the
deceased is conspicuous by it's absence
it puts the preacher in an unenviable
predicament. There are many people
who favor simply the burial service
and emitting all extemporaneous re-
marks, and thus avoiding the farce of
lauding man who in his life was posi-
bly, notorious and cheat and a rascal.

ing style. We shall expect letters from

American editor, almost a contempor-

describe him. spell his name wrong and
assure the public that Mark Twain

surely enough!
In the next issue the editor said:

Clements last letter, and in the follow

truth that we have a notion to coun-
termand our order for him to COM

serious when he sits for his picture the
photographer makes him as solemn as
an owl; if he smiles the photograph
smirks repulsively; if he tries to look
pleasant the photograph looks silly: if
he makes the fatal mistake of trying

BY WALTER 6. SMITH.

The first daily paper published In
Honolulu appeared on Tuesday morn
ing, September T. 1866. 1t was called
the Daily Hawaiian Herald, but its
publication was omitted on Sundays
and Mondays. In size it was a third
smaller than the Independent of the
present day, but by using minion type,
set solid, it carried more reading mat
ter. The terms of subscription were
% cents per week, or SO per year, in
advance. To old Californians the name
of the editor will be interestingS for it
was none other than ]. ]. Ayers, foun-
der of the San Francisco Call, and in
his last years the cultured and respect
ed editor Of the Los Angeles Herald.
His death occurred in very recent years.
!, Postmaster Oat, to whom an old
kAie of the Herald belongs, remembers
the coming of Mr. Acknowledgements
known as Colonel Ayers-and the high
anticipations he had of profits in Homo
lulu journalism. The editor came down
with handsome carriage and spank
ing team, and enough of fashionable
clothes to set all Waikiki agape. The
year 1866 was not one of grace sartor-
ial. Trousers ran to plaid effects and
coat skirts were full; vests flared into
Dolly Warden patterns, neckties were
Byronic, and beaver hats were worn.
A man dressed this way was sure to be
remembered and so young Ayers,
though more than a generation has
passed since his meteoric career in Ha-
wall, is still vividly recalled by the old
timers.
The Daily Hawaiian Herald lived
from September to December 21-pro-
viding the file before me is complete
and expired without a valedictory. The
first words Of the editor were hopeful, !
as is customary. After speaking of the |
manifold difficulties of starting new |
paper" Mr.. Ayers ventured to say that /
there was full assurance of success in /
the good will of the community, en- |
eouraging the energy and enterprise /
which indOmitable exertion should !
evoke" He promised to be ''independ- |
ent in tone, disenthralled from all mer-
cenary influence''-how familiar it all
sounds-"and with a steadfast deter
1nlnation to advocate the right in every
question, and to denounce the wrong in

| every instance" In conclusion, the
editor said:
1t shall be our endeavor so to con-
duct the Herald, on the above princi-
pies, that the enlightenment of our peo-
1 pie shall be increased by early and con-
| slant communication with. civilization
abroad; that the perfect understanding
which must follow in the wake shall
benefit mutual interests and that the
