PERSISTENT
REPETITION OF KNC
FALSEHOODS.

the demonstration Of the total de-
pravity Of the Capital it is furnished
by the weekly issue Of the 18th inst
II repeats the vie ISLANDERS upon the
character Of our national president
which were all exposed, and their ut
ter falsehood proven by competent
testimony at the time Of the publca-
tion Of the first Crawford letter. IL
also repeats the silly tale concerning
the reasonable words found upon
the blackboard OF the Whipple school
house in Marion county, and which
the alliance permitted to remain upon
the board during it's meeting. It re-
peats the statement that eight mem
bers Of that alliance withdrew be-
cause no one erased those words
from the board, we'll knowing that
the whole story was absolutely false.
The story first appeared in the
Marion Globe and the Wichita Eagle
and was copied by the Capital from
the Globe. The alliance at it's next
meeting adopted and sent ont the
following, which led the Wichita
Eagle TO retract that which had for
merly appeared IN its columns, and
acknowledge that it had been de-

SCIENCE HILL ALLIANCE No 1910.
Whereas, Some lnhuman sCOundrel sent dis
patch To the Wichita daily Eagle, and II was pub
lshcd In that Journal, August o. $780, which read
as follows. INFAMOUS WORDS STRONG sENrI-

Resolved by this alliance, That we donounce
~ outn a onnuuflpnl "A
ialsher. He is a scOundrelin trying "toaccredIt"
these sentiments TO the alliance for they had
been on the board three or four weeks previous
TO the session; and he Is a liar in saying that
eight republican members withdrew and washed
their hands Of the alliance. No member with
drew from the alliance on account Of said words;
they we're not mentioned In the alliance, and but
two or three members knew they were on the
board The reason for leaving the writing on
ON the board was for the purpose Of detecting
the author Of It, IL Is believed by this lodge
that no person In this community did the writing,
