The matter was referred to the humane officials who gave no credence to the stories concerning the new sect as they were too horrible to believe According to the reports-'he ritual commanding the well to do all ossible guod for the eick, finding foun dation for this juncture in the script UreB.

Your correspondent is i n-formed that he did not secure a subscriber in the county. Nevertheless, he used as an argument that -Kansas City, had contributed 8.30,000 to their subscription list. Our citizens are law-abiding and have full confidence in the success of the trohibitory Jaw and do want a Resubmission paper or to aid one which supports Resubmission. The above appeared us a special cor respoudence in the Sunday issue of the Capital, and although the author is too much of a coward to sign his name, we can not allow it to pass unnoticed. Mr.

Such a state- I ment was never made by our agent, and 1 we are sorry to say that not 830,000 nor any other sum was ever contributed to the support of this paper.

The Prohibition newspapers in the state are waking a great howl over the collapse of the Topeka Republican and attempt to prove that its early demise shows the utter absurdity of alleged growth of Resi.bmission.

It is patent to all that no paper can exist on sentiment and must have a good business foundation to work on. The Journal, after the receipt of the first number of the Topeka Republican, said in these columns, that the paper would be a failure, as it was gotten up principally in the interest of eion. to the exclusion of everything else a newspaper ought to be. On the other hand look at The Wich- it a Journal. It was the first and is the only independent Kansas newspaper to-day advocating Uesubmiesion as a principle, and its growth, in the face of the hardest times Kansas has ever excerienced.

has never been equalled by any newspaper in the stale in the palmiest days of the Kansas boom. We defy the Topeka Capital or any other Prohibits organ in the state, no matter how old it may Ire, to show an increase anywhere near to what The Journal has achieved in less than TWO TEARS. The Journal hes to-day by far the largest circulation of any newspaper in the state of Kansas and it has reached this goal mainly through its efforts in behalf of Resubmission. With the hundreds of unsolicited letters received every week at this office from all part3 of the state, and containing the price of a years or half-years subscription, come words of approbation and congratulation concerning The Journals gallant tight Rod wishing it unlimited success. That is the standard by which the Resubmission sentiment in the state can and must be guaged and not from a Resubmission hand bill printed at the state capital, where tb Resubmission-lsts are as yet only half-hearted io their cause when it comes to showing themselves, but who we hope, will have stamina enough to walk up to the polls and deposit their hallo's for a cause they know to be right, although they have had no fearless leader to urge them on.

With these state ring organs the wish may be father to the thought that Re-sub mission is on the decline, but they will be the worst fooled lot of hypocrites and cranks the state has ever after tha returns are in. The scholars of our public schools wiii be interested in an offer made by 1 lie Yout hs Companion in its issue of January 9.

i Ou the 1st of this month the main PROTECTION TO KANSAS. The state board of charities has awarded to the Kansas City packing house a years contract to furnish the various Btate institutions with meat. As the people are iust uow lighting these packing monopolies, it is in order to ask why the board took such action. There are packing houses at Atchison, Hutchinson and Wichita that might have been patronized. Atchison Globe.

If it was ever necessary to keep all the money possible within the limits of the state, it is so now. and still the powers which rule the state award this contract to companies foreign to the state. What Kansas needs mo6t is protection to noME industries. The entire state ticket was elected one year ago upon a national issue of that kind, and the people are just beginning to discover how inconsistent the politicians were. Kansas farmers are made to pay a heavy tariff tax on lumber in order that the lumber industries in Michigan and Wisconsin may be maintained.

Go not be falsely economical, was shouted at them for months. And now hat state board misnamed, the Board of Charities, awards a contract for meats to a company outside the stats, which charges the farmer six ponnds of steer for one pound of beef.

Tha sxpraas messenger wan ordered out of the ear and told to stand alongside tha track with tbe engineer and fireman. While one of the men kept the captured train hands eav--red with a revolver the other sprang into the car and ransaoked the expreaa pouches.

After the singing of a hymn and the offering of prayer committees were ap pointed on oredantiala and order of fiuGineee, an i a brief recess was taken. The preeent gathering marks a ran dering asunder of the hitherto strong ranks of the Womans Christian Temperance Union of which Miss Francis Wiliard ie the head. For years peat there baa been a growing dissatisfaction among the members ef this organisation with its general political drift, lt has been brenght into very close relations with the National Prohibi i ion party eo much so that at the last national presidential convention held in Indianapolis Mibb Willard wa one of the prime movers in the nominations, as well ae the -nnsipal speaker at the meetings. Not only tnis but tbe organisation has gone out of its way to endorse -ny foreign movements such as womans suffrage, labor reform, the ecclesiastical emancipation of women, drees reform, peace and arbitration which it is contended have no earthly eonaotien with t-mper anoe. Thie policy aroused the oppoei ton of a large and i flueutial element of the onion and finally culminated in open warfare.

The officer- of the union were appealed to toae oonduot its affairs ae to avoid all appearanoe of partisan ship, but without result, and tha orisia was reached at the Internstienal eon ventinn of the union held io this city few months ago when a large number of tbe delegates, after presenting a protest withdrew fiom the gathering. Subsequently a lengthy call for the gathering of to-day, signed by representative tern peranoe union women of Iowa, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Onio and Maine, was issued to the oountry. The convention proposes to briog into existence a union so plain and simple that any Christian woman can join it without any compromise of ooutroverted points raised by the old organisation.

HANGED AS A THIEF. A Man Hanged for One Crime and Guilty of Another. From Friday's Daily, At the sheriffs office last evening an old gentleman was telling a story of a queer fellow he met a few days ago on a tiain in Missouri hound for Ht. Joe.

His attention was at first attracted to the man by the fact that although the weather was very cold it waa during the late blizzard he would persist in keeping tho window open und staring at the fields along the track. The Wichita man stood tins as long as ho could and then asked: Say, stranger, aint you afraid you will catch your death of cold with that window open? Slowly the man addressed closed down the window and turning to his neighbor remarked: I was looking for a grave but I dont see it. I was traveling through here about twelve years ago when one night the people from Weston hanged and planted a supposed horse thief near this spot. I suppose tbe grave has been plowed under before now. It was a sad story.

What were the particulars of the affair? tin old gentleman was bold enough to a Wei', you see it was this way. During days the people used to hang i horse hieves when ever they caught i thou. day a stranger rode into We li ing with him two good horns lie lifted in a suspicous man-j nor and was fiually arrested. lie was given a chance to deny his guilt but persisted in maintaining an unbroken silence and was therefore adjudged guilty and haDged to that tree back yonder. The next day we buried him beneath its branches and it was his grave I wh3 looking for.

But was ho really guilty of the crime? He must have been or ho would have kicked against hanging. Just there is where you are wrong stranger said the story teller in sad tone of voice. You see he had only murdered a darned Kansas galoot a few days before and he thought all the time that it was for this that he had been arrested and had therefore said nothing, but had be told us that his only crime was the killing of a Kansan, we would have banqueted him in the place of hanging him. Well, we went out to Ilia grave and rounded it upas best we could and placed over it a stone slab to mark his last resting place. Then we drew up a set of resolutions of condolence und I carried them to his widow.

His widow. And waa he then a married man. And what beoame of his wife? Well, stranger, I married her myself. She is in the next car back and the and eyed story teller hustled off to the rear presumably to console the relio of the lae lamented murderer of a darned Kansan. Gladstone still -ridicules the tariff idea of America, and asserts that this country must pay at least fifty per cent, more for building a navy than it would if the tariff was completely abolished.
