NO. ! KANSAS WHEAT.
The State Will be Accorded Grade
it Has Never Before Held.

State Grain Inspector Culver has Civ
en- notice that a new system of grad
ing Kansas wheat will become effect
i've September 1.
The only material change from the
present grades will be the making OF a
new grade of wheat to be known as
No. 1 Kansas hard wheat, of a mini
mum weight of 60 pounds to the bushel.
He will also fix the minimum weight OF
No. 2 hard at So pounds and of No. 3
hard at Sc pounds per buShel.
Heretofore there has been no grade of
wheat in Kansas known as No. 1 hard.
and Mr.. Culver says that he is justified
in establishing such grade. He is in
a heavy European demand for pure
Kansas hard wheat flour, but it is diff
cult to get it because of the practice of
elevator men mixing spring wheat and
other grades of wheat with No. hard
which is the best grade of Kansas hard
wheat.
AS an instance of this fact he cites
the purchase of over 100, 900 bushels of
No. hard wheat by Minneapolis men
which he says will be mixed with No.
l spring wheat, ground into flour and
the flour sold as pure Kansas hard
wheat flour. The demand for Kansas
hard wheat, he says, comes from the
fact that it is stronger than the flour
made from spring wheat and is more
strengthening.
questionably an injustice to Kansas
wheat Mr.. Culver said today, land
the only way we can maintain pure
Kansas hard wheat is to insist on the
elevators not mixing anything else
with it,

Toronto Defeats Cleveland.

Toronto. Ont, Aug. 18.-The exhibit

him until the third, when they got one.
In the fifth they got another, and In
the sixth three. Dineen replaced Gas

game-at least, as played by the west
ern colleges-that there has been too
much semi-professionaIism about the
sport, and President Jesse of the Mis-
souri, university, who is himself a foot
ball enthusiast, does not hesitate to
say 50.
II do not believe says the PRESIDENT
that athletics should be taken out or
the hands of the faculty and left en-
tirely with the students. The foot
ball team at Columbia was managed
entirely by the students last season,
against my wishes, and 1 do not be-
lieye the experiment was success. The
matter of physical culture is one in
which think the faculty should be in
terested, and think it should be look
ed after with as much careful consider
alton as any other department.

FIRE CHIEFS CONVENE.
Great Illumination in Their Honor at
New Haven.

New Haven, Conn, Aug 1s-The
convention of the Firemen's Interna-
tiona1 association was formally opened
yesterday with a procession headed by
Mayor F. B. Farnsworth. After Pres
ident Devine had called the convention
to order Mayor Farnsworth welcomed
the delegates to New Haven. Elk Mayor
Hendrick, upon the part of the fire de-
partment welcomed the chiefs to New
Haven. Other speakers were Chief
Cannon of England; Chief Kennedy of
New Haven; Watt Taylor of Rich
mond; Humphreys of Pittsburg; Hale
of Kansas City; Fire Commissioner
Stevens of Montreal, and Congressman
Sperry.
Fully so thousand persons witnessed
last night. on the old green a great
visit OF the firemen. Strung upon hum
dreds of wires were over two thousand
electric globs, while at either end of the
square was an arch upon each of which
was 800 lights. At O'Clock the fire
alarm sounded the signal and instantly
the entire park was flooded with light.
In the center of khe park was a mann
moth piece, which&When lighted display
ed the words welcome, Fire Chiefs"
AT the afternoons session a paper re-
viewing the progress in the service of
fire fighting was read by ex-Chief Dam
rill of Boston, and later Chief McAfee
of Baltimore addressed the convention
upon the best means to protect firemen
from smoke.
Ihe hottest light of the convention
will undoubtedly be over the selection
of a place for the next national conven-
ton. There are already five cities in the
held-Peoria, Ill, Utica, N. Y, Read
ing, Pa, Omaha, and ST. Louis. The
first two seem to have the lead.

WESTERN ASSN STANDING.
PONY FOR YOUNG FITz.
Is Less Than IS Inches High-Small-
err Than Yarrum.

New York, Aug. 18.-Atom, the small
est pony which dealers in horses ever
saw, goes this morning from David
Dahlman's stables on East Twenty
fourth street, not to Queen Nab, but to
Robert w. Fitzsimmons, Jr., the pugi1-
lists son, who is Is months old. Atom
is 34A inches high, and he will never be
taller. He is dark brown, black and
white-the horsemen say piebald. He
is the son of Rowland L. and of Stella,
and he was born two years ago on
farm on Long Island, near Jamaica.
He has dainty little hoofs which are of
the color of old ivory, delicately shaped
legs and the oldest little whinny, af
fectionate and pathetic, that one ever
heard. He is apparently an aristo-
crat, which may be explained by the
fact that his parents have won premi
urls at the Madison Square Garden
shows for five successive years.
Atom will find in Fitzsimmons' yard
Yarrum, who is only a dog, taller than he,
and bear in comparison with the
weight of which his will be insignificant
indeed.

Judge Ray Says He was Not Properly
Nominated.

Judge James A. Ray of Wellington
has filed with the secretary of state a
protest against placing upon the tick
ct for election in November the name
of W. It. Mcbride as a candidate for
judge in the Nineteenth district, COM
posed of Cowley and Sumner counties.
Judge Ray alleges that Mcbride was
not properly nominated; that the con-
vention by which he was named was
not properly called by the judicial COM
mittee, and further that Mcbride vio-
lated the corrupt practices law in the
convention.
In. support of this Judge Rays petit
ton contains the allegation that Nc
Bride persuaded W. V. McConn of
Cowley county to desert his delegation
under promise of being made court
stenoSrapher in the event of McBride's
election as judge.
Judge Ray is himself an Independent
candidate for the nomination and will
file his nomination papers in due time.

ARE SORRY ALREADY.
Pennsylvania Democrats Say the Peo-
pie are Anxious to Reverse
Last Falls Vote.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 1S.-The executive
committee of the Democratic societies of
Pennsylvania has issued call for the
annual convention of the societies at
Wilkesbarre on September %.
In the accompanying address the COM
mittee says in part:
The means by which the candidates of
the Democratic party, headed by William
J. Bryan, were defeated last year are well
known. We need not recount them. Every
intelligent citizen understands them and
every good citizen condemns them. The
contest was between the people-the Ia
boring and producing classes on the one
side-and the money and coercive power
of a large number of powerful corpora
lions and monopolies on the other, asso-
ciated together for political action in fur
therance of private as against public in
terests. The combined temptations and
terrorism of the latter prevailed for the
time. But the reaction has been sharp
and decided. There is no longer any con-
cealment of the purposes for which an
election of a monopoly president and con-
gress was carried by means so corrupt
and brutal The interests concerned could
not wait a needless hour for the spoils.
Congress was Immediately convened in
extraordinary session to distribute the
enormous plumber promised among the
trusts and the other greedy associates in
the crime of SO by the passage of an act
imposing fresh taxes upon the people,
not to supply the public treasury but to
turn a new and swelling stream of pri-
vate profits into private pockets.
The people understand and resent. They
know also that the gold currency monop-
oily is to be perpetually maintained for
the same purpose and that so long as this
monopoly party remains in power, the
people are to be forced to pay increased
taxes, the greater profits of the trusts
and interest on laons in gold artificially
enhanced by the practical and continuous
decentralization of silver, one of the mon
ey metals of the constitution, the period
of whose coinage on equal terms with
gold was the period of least financial dis
turbance and of greatest prosperity in the
history of the United States. Everywhere
throughout the country, the people are in
censed and eager to reverse the mistaken
action of last year.

ABOUT HANG THEMAYOR
Shipload of Klondikers Raise a Row
at Seattle,

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 1s.-The steam
er Humboldt, which was to sail today
for st. Michaels, Alaska, with 223 pas
sengers and 400 tons of freight destined
for Dawson City, is in the hands of a
United States deputy marshal. When
the boat was about to sail the passen-
gers discovered that a large amount of
their freight was to be left on the dock.
They were very angry and held a mass
meeting.
Mayor Wood of Seattle, who is mana
ger of the boat, was called upon to ex-
plain and promised that those who left
provisions would be properly cared for,
and that the goods would be shipped
on the next boat. This did not suit
the crowd which demanded a guarantee.
Arthur Seymour of HaverhiIl, Mass,
made a speech demanding that the
rights of those who had paid for tick
cts and freight be conserved. Incl
dentally he said that he supposed that
there were those in the crowd who
would like to hang the mayor. His
words had an explosive effect but he
managed to secure order and commit
tee was appointed to adjust matters.
At this point it was announced that
John Galivan, of Spokane. had libeled
the steamer. Matters bid fair to be
settled so that the steamer will get
away tomorrow morning

cHAINLEss BICYCLE FEAT.
One is Ridden Backwards Up Cats
ford's Steep Hill.

Cincinnati, Aug. 1s.-The "chain1ess''
bicycle has passed the point of theory
and is now fairly in the realm of real
tiles.
AT present the promoters of the
chainless wheel are rejoicing over a
performance which they think fore
shadows the prowess of their favorite.
At a test hill climbing contest at the
noted Catsford Hill, England. IL expert
riders attempted to climb the course,
which is LAO yards long, with rise
of 430 feet.
A chainless wheel rider led the pro-
cession to the top. Several of the rid
ers failed and could not make the as
cent. Then the chainless rider started
in, and rode the entire course over
again backwards, and seemed to have
no trouble in doing it.
The English sporting papers speak
of the performance as ''remarkab BILE
feat though they still dfstrust the
chainless bicycle. The chainless wheel
men are exulting over the fact, and
make light of the skepticism which re-
fuses to see, after that, that the chain
less is the coming wheel. Next season
will tell.

HIS MINES NOT SALTED.
E H. Artz is Indignant at Geologist
Logan's Statement.

Ex-Adjutant General H. H. Artz is
indignant at the report of Assistant
State Geo1ogist Logan who intimates
that the mining claims of the general
in Trego county have been "salted."
He said today in speaking of the re-
port:
ST was very much surprised to think
a man occupying his position should
make such a statement 1 have had
tests made by Messrs. Burlinggame,
Deforest, and Beam of Denver, the
Grand Smelling company, at Omaha

eblo, and several eastern assayers, all
show from 20 to 40 per cent zinc and
some as high as 60 per cent. Then I
have assays showing from 81 to $12 per
ton in silver and gold. The statement
that the Smoky River district has indi-
cations of being sailed, is too silly to
be considered, and without foundation.

of tons of ore in sight that will run
from 20 to 80 per cent in zinc and from
81 to 81 in gold and silver in Trego and

by the Italian Swiss colony at Asst, So

tanks, they propose to build at once a
gigantic cement vat capable of holding
half million gallons. This is made
necessary by the large increase in the
yield of the company's vineyards. This
experiment will be watched with inter-
est, as, if successful, it will materially
lessen the cost of carrying on the large
