INSPECTORS ARE in TOWN.
-Four of Them Are Watching the POST
office Employees.
CAN'T CATCH THEM IN SALOONS,

For There Are No Saloons to Catch
Them In-The Carriers Know They
Are Being Watched.
All week four men have been in To
peka, whose air is mysterious. to say the
the least. They have spent their time
on the streets, and at no time are two OF
them seen together.
They loiter around a corner and idly
lean against q fence when the postman
passes, but after he is out of sight they
make a notation in a little book. They
stand across the street from letter boxes
during the hours when the mail is taken
up, and the hour and minute are care
fully jotted down.
These men are postoffice inspectors
whose only duty it is to watch the letter
carriers. This is a new branch OF the
secret service of the postofhce depart
ment and more than one carrier In the
larger cities has lost his position for
some reason unknown but which was
explained by report to be found at
Washington.
No one will know for some time what
will be the result of the present investi-
cation. These detectives work under
the direct supervision of the postoftice
department and they are not allowed to
even lake the acquaintance of the post
master in the city in which they are
working.
That is the reason Postmaster Arnold
knows nothing about the men or what
they are doing. They make no report to
him and he has no communication with
them. Their reports are made to the de-
partment and the delinquent carriers are
discharged by order of the department.
The inspectors keep tab only upon the
carriers From the time the men leave
the postoffice with their burden of mail
until they return with letters for the
mail, their steps are logged. When they
make a delivery it is ascertained wheth =
er they are on time; whether they loiter
on their routes or give their whole atten-
ton to the work for which they are en-
ployed.
When the inspectors have completed
their inspection they make up their re-
port, forward it to Washington and go TO
some other city.
1t has leaked out that the inspectors
are here, but how long they were in To-
peka before the carriers or any one else
knew of their presence is a matter for
conjecture.

blue grass should not be sown in the
spring of the year" was the legal opin-
ion on the subject by Attorney General
F. B. Dawes.
The subject in question was t'What is
to be planted on the state house grounds
this spring."
Mr.. Dawes said "nothing" would be
planted there before fall, if he had his
way. He said: nothing but blue grass
ought to be planted there and blue grass
should not be sown in the spring of the
year / am a crank on blue grass and l
believe the proper way to sow and plant
blue grass is to follow nature. Nature
plants her blue grass in July and Aug
ust and then it gets good start before
the hot sun of the next summer kills it.
If it is planted in the spring there is
about one chance in ten of getting a
good stand. The wind blows the seed
out of the ground and if it does come
up the hot sun kills it."
The attorney general says the next
legislature ought to give the superin-
tendent of state house grounds police au-
thority to adopt regulations for the
projections of the state grounds. In ad-
dition to this the police judge of Topeka
should have Jurisdiction to try persons
arrested by the state house police and
then the state house grounds and the
state property can be protected Gen
eral Dawes says this is the only way
people will be stopped running across
the grounds

BRIGHT INTERvIEWERS
Tackle n Man Whose Case the Probate
Court is Looking After.

r. III. Chenault of Fort Scott who has
figured in Kansas politics as a Populist
and fusionist but who is now under
guardianship from the Bourbon county

To the Journal reporter he said he had
just returned from two months speak

profoundly.
