George Siler said to a representative
of the Associated Press after the row

the last round, but there was only one
decision possible under the circumstan-
ces and / gave 1t. There was no neces-
sity Of police interference, as both men
were strong enough to continue the
fight"
Each man declared that he had the
other whipped. Late" Fenton, Nc

thing had been fixed. This man." he
said, pointing to Police Inspector O'Bri-

There was a scene of the greatest
confusion, and had not a strong force
of policemen been on hand trouble
would have ensued.

A. A. Hurd, of the Santa Fe, who
has probably issued more passes than
any other man in Kansas, was a farm
er, then carpenter, then law student,
then lawyer. As farmer he batch
ed in Barton county, living on corn
bread Of his own cooking. As a car.
penter he built the first house in
the town of Coolidge, Kansas. As law
student he filled in time by being city

Kansas Inward Path.

Many things show that Kansas is
growing. The banks have now more
cash in reserve than at any time in
their history, the per cent Of their de-
posts being 40 per cent, while the
law requires but 20 per cent. The
new laws OF the recent session OF the
legislature require that the banks
shall pay not less than 2 per cent on
daily balances for county funds and
the western Kansas banks are refus-
ing to take the money. They say
they will not be responsible for so
much that they do not need, and
which they cannot use to advantage.
These things mean great change in
the states condition, and there will
be seen in the tax lists of the coming
year the evidence of the material i'm
provement. 1t is not to come per-
haps all at once, but it is the return
ing Of the tide that for many years
has been running against the state
and making it the sport of those bet
ter favored. There is yet grave
problem in the settlement of some Of
the old time boom debts, and the
western communities that are over
burdened with this class of indebted
ness must come to some kind Of an
agreement with their creditors for
they cannot in some instances pay
out. But the reorganization is going
on and there will come soon a new
basis upon which the property holders
can meet their obligations honestly.
For the greater part OF the state, debts
are being paid rather than being in
CURED, and the county records as well
as those of individuals show a con-
stantly decreasing list of bonds and
mortgages. The effort of the people
is to get on a cash basis, and they are
in many instances straining so far for
this result, thai they are missing some
Of the good things of life. But it is
better so than that they should live
beyond their means as was the case in
the boom times when the foundation
for so many ills of the state was laid.

New Wheat Grade,

W. W. Culver, chief Of the Kansas
grain inspection service, notified
Secretary Bigelow OF the Kansas City
board Of trade on Saturday that he in
tended to revise the rules establish
ing the grades Of Kansas wheat and
that his new schedule would take
effect September |. The only ma
terial change from the present grades,
he said, would be the making Of a
new grade OF wheat TO be known as
No. ! Kansas hard wheat, Of a mini
mum weight OF 60 pounds to the
bushel. He will also fix the mini
mum weight Of No. 2 hard at 5s
pounds and Of No 3 hard at 56 pounds
per bushel.
This is one OF the oddities Of Popu-
list ad minstrati0n Of business affairs.
Contracts for millions Of bushels Of
wheat have been made on the old
basis, the mo. 2 hard is recognized
all over the world aud now in the
middle of the season to change the
whole course Of trade is considered
by the grain men as remarkable
action and one that may be an injury
to the grain interests Of this state.

The press has, therefore, ceased dis
cussing whether trade has really i'm
