A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
clash over Inspection Fees.

The government and the state live
stock inspector at Coffeyville clashed
over authority. The Kansas state live
stock sanitary board passed an order
directing their local inspectors to col
1ect an inspection fee of three cents a
head upon all cattle entering Kansas,
whether destined to Kansas points or
not. The government, on the other
hand, issued an inspection permit re-
heving the cattle from all restrictions
excepting those applied at the point of
destination. The shippers, relying
upon their government permits, refuse
to pay the inspection fee of three cen is
"a head, holding that as the cattle mere
ly pass through Kansas to attempt to
restrict their passage is interference
with interstate commerce.

A New aConvIct Cemetery. ,,

Warden Tomlenson, of the Kansas
penitentiary, has a force of prisoners
moving the convict graveyard. The
present one is close to the northeast
corner of the main prison wall, and it
became necessary to use the ground
and part of the clay in the graveyard
for the prison brick plant. The new
cemetery is on a ridge a quarter of a
mile southeast of the prison walls. In
all 80 bodies of convicts have been
buried in the Kansas penitentiary
graveyard. Every body except one is
that of a convict. The exception is
that of a stranger who died near the
walls, where he was trying to seek
shelter from the cold two years ago.
This graveyard for convicts was started
80 years ago.
