mon Grain Co., 404 Board of Trade,
/ Kansas City, Mo-, report as follows:
! Wheat closed 4 cent under Saturday,
I owing to unusually heavy receipts.
Kansas City had almost three times
as much as a year ago; the Northwest
/ almost as many cars as last year. A
| cable on the Indian crop reports an
increased average Of 2 per cent, with

conSign your wheat, as prices are
bound to decline with the assurance OF
a crop in the West later on.
! Governor Stanley has postponed
| consideration of all pardon cases till
! April 15. His reason is that he wants
to act under the new parole law There
are 225 cases on the docket, but only
about fifty, are ready for trial. In
two-thirds of these cases the convicts
apply for conditional release. Gov
ernor Stanley believes it is better to
release a prisoner upon the condition
| that he behave himself than to grant
a full parole. The convict under a
conditional pardon knows that if his
conduct is not good he will have to
return to prison, and this knowledge
keeps him in the straight and narrow
path.
The Topeka city council has passed
a liquor ordinance which will make it
almost impossible for the jointists to
do business in that city. According to
the terms of the ordinance it is con-
sidered an unlawful sale to call q
friend in your house and give him
drink of liquor A man is guilty of
in1o Hf hn ho
found in place where liquor is sold.
and it does not require that actual
sale shall be proven. The penalty for
violation is a fine of not less than ,
500 nor more than $500, and impris-
onment for not less than thirty days
nor more than one hundred days in
the city jail.
: T. T. Kelly, assistant state treasur-
er, says that the appointment Of w.
w. Smith of Topeka to be Senator
Burton's private secretary is temper
airy. Frank Grimes, Kelly says, will
succeed to the position in November,
! Grimes did not care to make the
change at present, and as Burton
needed somebody to look after his
correspondence, during the vacation
Smith was chosen. Should Grimes re-
sign the office of state treasurer prior
be necessary This is not desired by
the Burton people, as arrangements
have been made to have Kelly APP
: pointed to fill the vacancy.
Henry Mason, Of Finney, one Of the
Republican leaders of the house, is
candidate for the Republican nominal
I ton for associate justice of the SUI
preme court. chief Justice Doster's
term on the bench expires next year.
Judge W. A. Johnston then becomes
chief justice under the new constitu-
, tiona1 amendment. Mason wants to
run for associate justice to succeed
Doster. The four new associate JUS
tees will also ask for nominations
next year. They have to be elected
then. So far there is no opposition to
any of them and there will probably
not be any. In making his selections,
Governor Stanley aimed to appoint
men who would be elected to succeed
themselves.
