WYATT carp IN KANSAS

Wyatt carp, who is accused by
Bob FIJI zsimmons and his friends
with having refereed the Fitz-
simmons-Sharkey fight unfairly, is
we'll known to the old timers In
Wichita, says The Times of that
place, having served as an officer
under Marshal Mike Maegher, in
the early '70's. Wichita at that
time was the great cattle market
for the southwest, and 1t required
the utmost vigilance anil bravery
on the part of the officers to hold
the lawless element in check. carp
was absolutely devoid Of fear, and
was one of the most active of
Maegher's deputies. He was a
tall, ministerial looking fellow, with
cool head and a deadly aim, and
he had the reputation of being q
killer. "
Maeghsr afterwards became mar
shal of Dodge City and was killed
in fight with desperadoes.
When Dick Cogdell succeeded
Maegher az marshal here in the
spring of '76, carp with his two
brothers, went to Deadwood, Oak,
and went on the marshaPs force
They had numerous bloody en-
counters with the desperadoes who
mad, up to that time, terrorized the
law-shiding citizens, and succeeded
in killing off several of the most
troublesome of them. Fifteen or
twenty men were killed in one of
these fights. carp was strictly
honorable in all his dealings with
men here, and none who knew him
has word to say against him. He
went to Ellsworth subsequently to
cooperate with the authorities in

IHIRTEEN MONTHS IN Il
YEAR

1t is suggested that on Jan. ],
1900, new division of the year
into Is months be instituted Ii
is claimed that this is not 10 pre-
posterous as most people would be
likely to consider it at the first
thought If such division was
made the FIRST II months would
have just % days, or four weeks
zach, and the new north 80, to
make 365, and 30 in leap Years.
After few days there would be no
need to refer t. calendars. AS tn.
same day of the week would have
the same date through the year.
If January were, say Monday,
every Monday would be the lst.
9Th, 18th, and 22nd; every Tuesday
the 2ad, 9.h, 18th and 23rd, and
so throughout the year The
chan IS of the moon would be on
about the same dates through the
year, and many calculations, like
interest, dates of maturing notes,
Easter Sunday and many other inn
portant dates would be simpliEed.
Alth ugh the present generation
would have to ggure new dates for
birthdays and all legal holidays ex-
cept New Years wonld he on dlf-
ferent dates, yet .he gain would
be more than the loss, as that
would be permanent, and the OBJ
.cctions trifiing.
The proposed change certainly
has the merit of novelty. and it is
just to say Il at the arsu A,nts in
favor of the metric system on the
ground Of utility apply with con-
siderable force in the present case.
We fear. however, that the ohlrc-
~ ~"
tions on the ground Of sentimsnt,
which are strong IN the matter ut
weights and measures. would be
even stronger agai nst the proposed
revision of our methods Of COM
