Venus now resembles the moon when

A few years ago there was an exfranrdi-
nary convulsion on Jupiter, whose effects
were shown by the sudden appearance upon
the planet of fiery red SPOT which covered
an area equal to the whole surface OF
the earth. Lately this SPOT has almost
completely faded from view, but other
singular spots have made their appearance:

A NOTE OF WARNING.

In our Washington correspondence pub
lished this morning the statement 10 made
that the Southern Kansas railway theoreti-
csily, but the powerful Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Fe really is seeking to penetrate
the great cattle country Of northwest Texas
and monopolize in the future the cattle
shipments east from this portion OF the
state. 1t IL matter of paramount interest
to Fort Worth and Dallas and indeed to
tho entire system Of railways In this imme-
diste section of the state. The right-of-way
has been practically obtained BY the South
ern Kansas through the Territory, and
that the line will be In no great time ex-
tended into the Panhandle or northwest
Texas 10 not matter Of dispute.
1. has long been surmissd and nationally,
not without apprehension by such cities a.
are located in this immediate locality, that
sooner or later . great town would be
built 10 the Panhandle somewhere,
or in western Texas some $50 or 300 miles
beyond Dallas. The climate 10 msgnifi-
cent, the lands anA surroundings are at
tractive In the extreme and only the sb.
sence Of O direct through line to Kansas
and the east from that section has stood In
the way. There are syndicstes represent
ing millions Of dollars and millionaire cat
tie kings who would generously subscribe
to induce q solvent eastern corporation TO
run Q direct line from the great Kansas
thoroughfares down there. and the ship
ments Of wool and live stock and the pos
sible coal and iron Of the future afford
guaranty Of business sufficient in itself to
induce the eastern railway msgnstes to
