The state, Instead Of the Boards Of Trade,
VIII Inspect Grain In the Future.

VIII Inspect Grain In che Future.
Under the old law, grain inspection
was entirely In the hands Of the boards
of trade. The State Inspector had no
authority to inspect grain himself or to
appoint deputies who were not 6rst
recommended by the board of trade Of
the city in which the inspection was to
be made.
The new law establishes State De-
psrtment of Grain Inspection, which
iS to have full charge of weighing and
inspection of grain at terminal railroad
points In Kansas. The State Inspector
is to be named by the Governor for a
term of two years. He shall give a
$4,000 bond and shall receive a salary
Of 81, 200 per year. The assistants shall
receive $500 each. Where sufficient
grain is not received at place Of in
spection to pay the salary of an assist
ant, the Chief Inspector may abolish
such place of inspection, or arrange
with the assistant to accept such fees
as are paid In full for his services.
The Inspector must not be interested
or connected with the grain trade,
either directly or indirectly, He may
make such rules relative to inspection,
grading and weigt ing as he may deem
advisable. He shall recommend to the
Governor such assistants as he may
deem necessary and qualified, and if,
in the judgment of the Governor, he
deems such assistants necessary, he
shall appoint them. Such assistants
shall make daily reports to the Chief
Inspector. They shall give a bond for
$1,000.
The Chief Inspector shall, on the
first day of September Of each year,
establish a grade of all kinds of grain
handled in the State, which shall be
known as Kansas grades, and which
shall be published.
The Chief Inspector shall establish
fees for inspection, such fees to be suf-
icient to maintain the department,
and the State shall be liable for no def
Ciencies for maintenance The fees
for inspection and for weighing shall
not exceed 25 cents per car In each
case. Where inspection is made by
sample, the fee shall not exceed 10
cents. The Chief Inspector shall re-
port, on the first dsy of each month,
the number of cars inspected and
weighed, the amount OF fees collected,
salaries paid and other expenses in
CURED. He shall turn all fees received
into the treasury, and all salaries shall
be paid by the Treasurer after such re-
port has been made.
A fine of $500 to 81 900, or imprison-
ment In the county jail Of six to twelve
months, is the penalty provided for
the violation of any Of the provisions
of this act by the Inspector or his dep
uties. A fine and imprisonment is i'm
posed for impersonsting an Inspector.
A penalty is fixed for bribery of In
speCtors, The decision of inspectors
as to grades shall be final.

AN UGLYRoW AMONG NEGROES

An ugly row took place at Tom
Smiths house, $50 Currie avenue, last
Sunday evening in which Willis Albirdy
and woman named Mrs. Smith were
badly beaten over the heads with fiat
iron in the hands of jim Turner. All
parties to the affair are colored.
Tom Smith was at the steel works,
and in his absence Albirdy and Turner
were paying attention to Mrs. Tom, the
wife. Turner went out after beer, and
when he returned found the pair in a
compromising position. Insane with
jealousy he siezed the flatiron and dealt
each of them deadly blows on the head,
and then ran away, leaving his victims
uncon' cious. They we're soon dicovered
by neigh5ors and medical aid sent for,
and at this time are in bad way.

Observation-Disclosures STRIKE
Four thousand of Them are out
and Great Excitement
Prevails

The following account OF the strike of
the stselworkers in the South Chicago
mills was wired out over the country
Thursday:
Chicago, April. -Four thousand
men were forced out OF employment by
tho closing OF the works Of the Illinois
Steel company at South Chicago to-.
night. This action is taken by the Of
ficials to head off strike.
The rail strRighteners are responsible
for the trouble. The officials OF the
company claim that the workmen broke
their yearly contract which was made a
few months ago. General Manager
Walker, of the Illinois Steel company,
says the strikE is but dispute among
the workmen and that the company has
nothing tc do with the matter more
than holding it's employees to their con-
tract.
1t Is said that the company has re-
ducsd the scale Of wages since the fall
in the price Of rails, and the question
has been a much disputed point ever
since. Tho rail straightners have dis
cussed with the managers at different
times and threatened to quit work, as
they claimed they could not make as
much money rs when the price Of rails
was above so.
