At the meeting of the state board
of agriculture in Topeka last week
eX-Gov. Click rendered his resignation
as a director He said that he had
retired from the farm, and felt that
he had no right to sit as an officer in
an agricultural meeting. This brought

feet, and after speeches that brought
tears to the eyes of all the old mem
bers who had been associated with
Gov. Click on the agricultural board
for years, the resignation was re-
jected.

News from Over the State
Graded Prison System.

In addition to abolishing the "lock
step" at the Kansas prison, Warden
Jewett has put in force the graded
prison system. The first grade, blue
suited prisoners, will have the best
place in the dining room and will be
quartered in the new modern cell
house erected six years ago. The sec
ond grade, gray-suited prisoners, will
have the second or intermediate place,
while the bad prisoners, in striped
suits, most of whom carry a ball and
chain, will have the rear seats in the
dining room and be kept in the cell
house in the south wing. An effort
will be made to keep the best pris-
oners by themselves as much as pos
sible and the third grade prisoners
away. from the others. A new prison
er will be placed in the intermediate
grade at first, and if he proves himself
worthy will be allowed to attend
night school, read books and will be
treated with as much consideration
as possible.

Mean. wealth for the State.

Warden Jewett, of the Kansas pen
itentiary, is pleased with the agree
ment entered into by the board of
directors for the purchase of Staiger's
island. He states that there is fine
timber on part of the land, which will
supply the penitentiary with wood
for brick burning and other purposes
for years. There are at least 600
acres Of good bottom farm land. The
coal rights under the land are said
to be worth So an acre, more than
half of the SIS an acre, which the
state will pay for the land. Farmers
living near the prison are asking $500
an acre for their land, and if the state
legislature appropriates the money
to buy the island the prison officials
can be entirely independent of them.

 Oats active and shorts manifested nervousness over the prospects of further cur tailed movement. Receipts were only 89 cars. There was a good commission house demand early and some professional pulling. The corn strength also had strengthening effect. Cash people bought fairly. There was liberal sell .ng at top prices, but the general tone held strong. May advanced from 439s to 44@s and closed at 441a.
 Provisions made up some more of their recent losses and held to a strong tone.

 When a rich man dies, his death as- sumes an importance in dollars and cents which to the man who lives all his life with the prospect of being laid away for his long sleep at cost of not over sl0O seems enormous. Though the millionaire cannot take his wealth beyond the grave, he frequently takes a considerable amount inside the doors of the tomb. The coffin in which Ii Hung Chang was buried recently was one which that willy old diplomat had had made to suit his fancy and had carried around with him for many years. It was beautifully or namented with gold and precious stones and was valued at $65 900. Tho widow of a millionaire named Hillier lavished S20. 900 on the coffin In which she buried the body of her husband. The coffin was of ex- quisitely carved mahogany profusely or namented with solid gold and lined with rare silk which cost $65 a yard. Nearly all millionaires spend great sums upon the mausoleums where they and their family are to rest at last. The great Mackay and Vanderbilt mausoleums are examples of this, and Senator Clark of Montana has built him a tomb the cost of which is said to have been $175, ,0OO

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
CURRENT DEMAND OF FULL
 VOLUME FOR SEASON.
Unfavorable Weather Conditions Have Not Materially Checked the Nations Business-Consumption
 of Iron and Steel Undiminished
K. Feb, 2s.-Bradstreet's tomor.

New York, Feb. -Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Current demand Is of full volume for this season of the year, while business on spring account goes forward in large volume. This, too, in the face of unfa- vorable weather conditions in large sec tions of the country.
 Iron and steel are quieter on the sur face, but consumption remains undimin, ished. Short supplies of coke are still complained of in the West and furnaces are being banked for this reason but the output of pig iron has been larger this week than for some time past. Structur- al mills are filled with orders, most of them being five months behind. and the same is true of other products, orders for which extended well up to the close of the year. Among the metals, copper has displayed some strength this week.
 The heavy break in wheat prices at the close of last week. contrary to expecta- tions. did not bring to light the expected business.
 Corn among the cereals noted the chief advance of the week.
 Hog. products have been irregular in sympathy with grain.
 Wheat including four exports for the week aggregate 3.234, ,54O bushels against 3,609, 435 last week and 5 233, ,l53 in this week last year. Exports July 1, 1901. to date aggregate 1S0, ,166, 43S bushels against 133, ,24S,67S last season. Corn exports ag- gregate 3l2,664 bushels against 147. .S30 last week and 4,lS5,449 last year. July l, l9Ol to date, corn exports are 23, 119,2 254 bush- els against 130, ,59S last season.
 In textiles. cotton and cotton goods ap- pear to be facing crisis. Demand con- tinues active. particularly from jobbers in prints and ginghams, but staple cot tons also display exceptional strength. The chief complaint, in fact, Is of the slowness of deliveries and the paucity of supplies. Wool is steady with supplies held within narrow limits.
 Business failures in the United States for the week number 204 against 22S last week. IT in this week last year, 173 in 1900. ITO in 1899 and 232 in 1898. Canadian failures for the week number 27 as against 24 last week, 2S in this week year ago and p in 1900.

Dun's Trade Review.

New York, Feb. 2S.-R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Although the shortest month of the year was further curtailed by two holi- days and handicapped by the most severe storms of the winter. industrial and trade results were most satisfactory. The clos ing week brought general resumption of activity in lines that suffered from the weather and preparations for an eX- ceptionally heavy spring business was reported at many points. Southern cities alone being backward.
 Pig iron production suffers at a time when a maximum output would not be excessive. Pressure for structural mate rial Is already severe and will probably be still more so as the regular building season draws nearer. Further hardening of quotations are reported. More foreign steel has been engaged and domestic con- cerns are still bidding in the German market. Footwear buyers are leaving New England without doing much more than fair sample business outside spe- cial lines. Makers of cotton goods are very cautious about undertaking future deliveries owing to the uncertainty as to labor and raw material Export orders are still available but prices are slightly below the views of holders. As a rule woolen goods are well maintained and in brisk demand
 Cereals opened the week with decided reaction. As usual speculative liauida- tion carried the decline too far and there followed the customary recovery. Wheat came into sight rather more freely than a year ago and the Atlantic shipment or flour made better comparison than In recent preceding weeks but total eX- ports or wheat from the United States. hour Included. were but 31S5.O52 bushels against 4,324,249 year ago
 Corn showed the customary loss in both movements. receipts amounting to only 2'3l2. 66i bushels against fS4g, 7S3 last year while Atlantic coast shipments were lS4,6S2 bushels compared with 34l2,6S2 in the same week of 19Oi
 Cotton ruled fairly steady at the recent aovance which attracted more liberal marketing at the SQuth. but supplies in hrst hands are reported very low.
