The Chicago Inter Ocean publishes the
following interview with Hon Thomas
Ryan, our member of congress from this
district. Ii is short. but to the point and
thoroughly covers the situation of political
affairs in this state:
Congressman Thomas Ryan. of Kansas
arrived at the Grand Pacific yesterday with
his family He has been home from Wash
ington for two weeks, and during that
time has been looking over the political
field. He says that there is no doubt about
the reelection of Governor John A Mar
tin; that his opponent on the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Moonlight, will not make q
strong run. Kansas. at present. has no;
one Democratic congressman, the seven De
ing Republicans. and Mr.. Ryan says they
will all be reelected this fall. The only
contest. and that bids fair of being strong
one, is in the Fifth districe, held by Con-
gresham j. A. Anderson for eight years.

ated, and many Of the Republicans are OPP
posed ~ him, and have determined TO re-

The news of Writ Walton's untinely
death was Of the very saddest. One OF
Kansas particularly brigh. and successful
Young men, who if ambitious was still con-
scien:ious, was hurled from the fair pedes-
tai of his own building and his life and its
hopes and all Of its great promises at once
were suddenly and ruthlessly destroyed.
There seems no plea, no reason Tor such
calamity. Throughout the entire state
yesterday morning, and from the hearts Of
thousand strong men were forced words
of sorrow tinged with the bitter reflection
that such a calamity could occur. The
writer has known Writ W. Walton for
wears and for ever since when as a mere
boy he made himself felt among the
stronger and older men Of COwley county,
his former home, and few young men OF
Kansas have ever acquitted themselves
with more honor, and few if any possessed
as fair prospects for coming usefulness as
| prominent man.
From the Commonwealth we clip the
following brief biography:
Writ w. Walton was born in Sciotovilie.
Scioto county, Ohio, May q, 1852. His
early childhood was spent in Lawrence
county, Ohio, and in 1860 he removed to
Walton township, Labette county this
state. In 1871 he removed to Cowley
county. and was almost Immediately elect
ed county surveyor. He served in this pc
sition for a number Of years. In 1873 he
was elected journal clerk of the Kansas
house of representatives, and in 1876 he
enlisted in the border war. He served
through the struggle, escaping without in
Jury. In 1875 he became connected with
the Winfield Courier, and also acted as
deputy postmaster in that city. In 1871 he
was unanimously elected chief clerk of the
house of representatives, reelected III 1919
and 1881. In 1882 he served as member
of the lower house representing
CLAW county. to which COM
" he had removed having
purchased the Clay Center Dispatch, In
that legislature he was chairman OF the
ways and means committee, the most I'M
portant position which a member OF the
house could hold. In 1884 he received
Republican nomination from the Clay Cen
ter district, but in the interest of harmony
and party unity he withdrew from the race.
In 1884 he served rs secretary OF the Re
publican state central committee. In 1886
he was delegate to the Republican state
convention, and was elected secretary. lie
was again chosen member of the central
committee, but short time after his election
he declined He was on July goth chosen
chairman of the convention which nomina-
ted John A. Anderson for congress at Clay
Center In the present campaign which is
now on in the Fifth district, Mr.. Walton
identified himself with the Anderson men,
and at all times his fight was manly and
honorable

any particulars or explain the cause OF
Harpers defeat. There was considerable
talk of having the Harper boys arrested for
playing on Sunday. but we understand the
matter was compromised by the boys prom
ising not to repeat the offense. While
playing ball is perhaps no worse than many
other Sunday indulgences, it is an in
fringement on Sunday quiet and Sunday

Mr.. Ryan predicts that the prohibition vote
in Kansas will be light st. John, he says,
will be active, but the sincere and really
faithful temperance men, Mr. Ryan claims,
pin their faith TO the Republican
party. He said that they had constitution
al and legislative prohibition in Kansas,
and that is the child of the Republican par
t.. He claims that now prohibition in
Kansas is cardinal policy of the Republi-
can party. The third party, Mr. Ryan
says, is nothing else but Democratic an

Republican party and to enthrone the Dem
ocratic. Blaine's speech he considered
strong and vigorous, and added that they

THE FIRE BRICK PAVEMENT,
From the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
Wishing to hear from some disinterested
source the construction and merits of The
fire brick pavement. The Champion adj
dressed its inquiry to Mr.. w. r. Allison
editor of the Ohio Press, at Steubenville
From Mr. Allison's reply we take the fol
lowing:
The cost of fire brick pavement a
Steubenville is 95 cents per square yard
providing the excavation is not than on,
foot-if more, cost more pro rata, if less
less in same proportion The brick
used are the ordinary ir,
brick. solid, well burned, no patent or roy
atty. Foundation, gravel, graded ant
rolled firm and evenly. The bricks are
put down on their sides or edges. not laiC
flat. A square on Third street has beer
down for two years and looks about tn,
same as when laid down; is little worn and
can be easily and cheaply repaired whei
needed. The pavement is very handsome
and pleasant to drive over The cost O
brick is $40 per 1000
