The following plain statement was
received by a citizen of Easton, who
requested Its publication. This We
cheerfully grant in order to bring the
truth before the public. What class
of citizens are contented with anything
less than truth, except that class we do
not care to crafty?
TOPEKA, KANSAS, Nav 9th, 1889.
Dear Brother:-Your favor of May 23i is
received, in which you make inquiries con-
corning Misrepresentation in reference to
the liqujr business in Kansas. Now in
reference to the number of parties who have
taken out permits under the United States
law Of Internal Revenue for the purpose Uf
selling liquor, know nothing personally.
The man is fool or knave who will say
that there is as much liquor drank in Kan
sas in 1887 as in 1881. The number of per-
mits has nearly nothing TO do with the
matter.
In few years past Kansas has greatly
increased in population, and if there is one
druggist in every town In Kansas with
permit to sell intoxicating liquors accord
ing to law, judge there would be fully over
1000. These men take ont permit for
single quarter, and whiskey men have taken
out permits by the scores without ever using
them. Some rascal took out permit in my
name even, and they have taken out per-
mits for the very purpose of parading them
in public print to make the impression that
even under Prohibition laws there is as
much drinking in Kansas as ever.
Rev. DIR. Joseph Hormer is now 10 this
room where write, and has been in the State
of Kansas 70; more tlan week; La; been
around about in this City of $1,000 people,
been TO Manhattan, away down to Hutchin-
son 200 miles, and he has not seen drunk
en- man ir Kansas, or smelled liquor on any
man since he entered the State. How many
permits have been taken out in years TO
sell liquor in Kansas do not know, but
haye reason to believe there is not single
open saloon in the State of Kansas. II
liquor is drank secretly that is vastly better
than TO drink it publicly and pollute our
treets.

experience in weather predictions, he

tween the 18th and 18th so suddenly
that the Signal Office will not be able

mot withstanding the criticism of
the Sour Man the banner got there all

We can very easily see through the
above item which was copied from the
appeal of the 11th inst. Its intention
was dig at the MIDLAND JOURNAL
man for its unfavorable criticism of
placing our National Ensign over our
public school building. One would
suppose, from what has been going the
rounds of the newspapers about said
flag, that the whole of our population,
some thirteen or fourteen hundred, had
dropped every thing to witness that
ceremony. While there is as much
patriotism or nationality to the square
inch in our town as there is in any
other town of its size on the face of
this green earth. or any other earth, if
we were correctly informed there were
six or eight grown persons present
this includes the speakers) and lot of
children who would naturally collect
on such occasions. Notwithstanding
this, it had the desired effect; namely,
the set up of big newspaper parade.
Only this, nothing more.-I0e.
OBSERVER.
I'VE opine that our correspondent or
any other grown person" need hardly
give the child's play of schOOIhouse
flags single serious thought. The
flag is national emblem and should
be displayed on national occasions only,
if we expect it to be treated with that
respect and generation it should be, by
the public. When it is treated as a
mere rag by school children and hung
over saloons with party candidates
names tackled to it, the tendency is to
lower the dignity of the national en-
blem in the eyes of the MASSES.

a good fight.

How a Murderous Lunatic Was Over
powered in a Kansas Town.
Topeka, Kan, Sept. "A, SS9.-The in
habitants of Rossville, a village sixteen
miles from here, were terrorized Sunday
night by a crazy farmer, named Jacob
Kuykendall. With his wife he was visit
ing his father at Rossville. Suddenly he
was seized with violent mania,
and drove all the family except
his wife from the house at the muzzle of
a revolver. Mrs. Kuykendall attempted
to quiet him, but without avail. Finally
the maniac became so violent that she
was forced to flee for her life, but her
husband shot and fatally wounded her
just as she passed through the outer
door.
The shooting attracted the villagers
and an attempt was made to capture the
mailman, who had in the meantime
barricaded the doors and windows.
Standing guard with q loaded revolver
in an upper window he deied the crowd
and kept his would-be captors at bay.
Finally entrance was gained at the rear
of the house, and the capture made in u
novel manner A large syringe was filed
with chloroform and the contents thrown
upon the maniac. The fumes of the
LIQUID rendered him unconscious.

The only unpleasant episode of the day
was the meeting of police and la~wbreakers
in the persons of a couple of New York
gamblers, who attempted to conduct a
game on the grounds last evening. They
were quickly suppressed.
