The Council Of the town of Clarks-

The State Journal publishes a let
ter from Ed. Ryan, Of ERoane ooun-
| ty, SON of Rev. Thomas p. Ryan,
| who was murdered two years ago.
Young Ryan says that the three men
who were lynched for the murder of
his father were unqucstionably tha
right parties.
The interest in his statement lies
in the fact that 1t is in direct opposi-
tion to the theory of detectives who
have been working on the suppose
tion that the parties who were lynch
ed were innocent but that the lynch
ers themselves were guilty of the
murder OF Ryan, and that they COM
mitted the crime of lynching in or
der to cover their crime of murder.

strongly calculated to make the Can

Canada, as dependency of Great

given "Our observation proves that
our expenses for prosecutions, con-
victions and confinement in jails and
prisons are far less than the expenses
of courts jails, asylums, pow
erty, and loss of time under the reign
of the open saloon. Prohibition does
verify prohibit in Kansas. We de-
sire to add word of advice to states
that are pushing the canvass for
a probibitory amendment. Our State
stands in the front upon this ques-
ton, and is appealed to by the friends
and foes of prohibition. Select from
each county one or more reliable and
trustworthy men, and send them in
to Kansas, for the purpose of per-

by obtain the facts as they exist, for
the encouragement of your people,
