Order of the Loyal Legions, telegraphs the
committee here that upwards OF eighty
members of the order have signified their
intention Of being present at the meeting

Should the day be pleasant, it is the inten

which limited number of our own people
will share the festivities of the occasion,
promises to be memorable as one of the
greatest social events in the history of our

the crowds that are coming, but our will

THE PLANETS FOR MAY.

To the Editor of the Eagle
Mercury-which during the past month
has been too far south to be readily seen
in the northern hemisphere, is now rap
idly moving north and ought TO be easily
seen as an evening star by the 18th, beng
at that time about 20 , north OF the sun
and setting an hour later.
The difficulty in getting glimpses of this
swift planet, always SO near the sun, gives
interest to the watching for it.
Nenus-which of late might often have
been seen hanging just above the horizon,
beautiful in the glow of morning, viii
during May be lost in the suns rays.
Mars-is in the constellation Virgo and
has an apparent motion westward through
the stars until the sd, after which time 1t
becomes forward motion.
1t shines as a beautiful star, but is at
present uninterestiug in the telescope.
Jupiter-Rising in the early evening, as
cends the heavens with that majesty that
ever attends this kingly planet. There will
be the usual interesting variety in the po-
sitions and movements of its satellites, as
seen in the telescope. On no two nights
viii the same arrangement of planet and
moons greet the eye of the observer There
will be slight increase in the polar diam
eter during the month. The planet has a
retrograde motion through the stars Of the
constellation Scorpio. 1t will be in con-
junction with the moon on the morning of
the 25th 80 degrees and 81 minutes south.
Saturn-Among planets visible to the
naked eye, has had supreme control of the
midnight sky during the winter months,
but must now give way to advancing Mars
and Jupiter. The planet will have a for
ward motion during the month, leaving to
the westward and northward the two
bright stars Castor and PulluX. Some
fine views of Saturn S rings and belts have
been obtained with the o. inch reflector
during the spring months, but the planet
will soon be too low in the sky for study
1t will be in conjunction with the moon on
the evening of the 10Th, 40 minutes south.
Uranus crosses the meridian with Mars
on the 18th. the former being 40 minutes
south, and hence in the same field of view
of small telescope. 1t is little, blue
star
Neptune the lonely, far-away wanderer
lies degrees south of Pleiades, in Taurus

ence to matters Of mutual interest which
were quite thoroughly discussed South
western Kansas and Wichita are quietly
but surely getting their hands together
and their interests solidihed, and their
united strength and power will some day
before long be the talk of the state. What
is the interest of seven out of ten towns in
southwest Kansas is the interest of WITCH
tia, and as they grow stronger and greater,
so will we, and in either in material or
political matters we and they pull togeth-
