ABOUT GRAIN INsPEcTIoN.

The failure Of the Kansas legisla-
ture to enact a new grain inspection
law will not impose any hardship on
the grain interests Of the state. I'm
der the decision Of the supreme court
the old law gives the shipper the
option of having his grain inspected
and weighed by state or private in
spectors and weighmasters. So far
as the Kansas City market is con-
cerned, the present situation is
highly satisfactory to the country
shippers. Last July the Kansas
Grain Dealers association, firing of
the poor service and exorbitant
charges Of the Kansas grain inspec-
tion department, suggested the es-
tablishment Of an inspection bureau
by the Kansas City board of trade
to handle the grain yarded on the
Kansas side of the line at this mar
ket. The board of trade acted
promptly, with the result that an ef-
ficient system of inspection was es-
tablished in the board Of trade build
ing. Fees were placed at soc a car,
about half Of what they had been.
Very naturally, most of the grain
coming here from Kansas, and also
from other states using the Kansas
railroads, has since been marked
mo state inspection required" and
the certificates on which the grain
was sold were those of the board
Of trade inspection department. The
board of trade also has a weighing
department which has supervised the
of the grain. At Hutchin-
son, Wichita and other markets in
Kansas the shippers have exercised
their will in employing either state
inspection or selling by samples.
There is no demand for a change in |
the situation, unless It be that the
state abolish the system of charging
lc per 1000 pounds for inspecting

m IN WE'RE BASKET BALL.

Eight Omaha saloon keepers have
been sued for damages by a young
man just out of the penitentiary
where he was serving sentence for

tion says that this young man and
two boy friends bought liquor from
these saloon keepers, became drunk,
and while in this condition planned
the robbery that resulted in murder.
It is familiar sort of story. Some
thing of the kind happens in Kan
