AT Addison, Webster county,
Monday night, what appeared to
be flash Of lightning, aceompa-
nied by a decorating report which
shook the hills, was observed by
many people to continue in a
semi-circular course, much like a
projectile, and to pale from the
white of lightning into Iurid,
blush red, and to move with a
whirling motion, throwing off
streaks of fire as neared the
earth. It was accompanied by a
peculiar roar, described as like
that caused by escaping gas under
q. heavy pressure. Persons in
Addison followed through the
fields and finally found the object.
1T was a metallic body the size Of
a tub, spheroidal but irregular,
and was ON Tuesday still too
warm to be handled. 1t actually
baked the earth. The people Of
the vicinity, ignorant noun
'taineers largely, are much
alarmed, thinking the occurrence
an omen Of evil. Hundreds Of

The Eight. Day.

Ono year hence the labor
organizations of the United
sss'tates, or at least the larger part
of them, Will attempt to#sheften=
the working day to eight hours.
They are now bending all their
efforts in that direction and will
continue the agitation energetic
ally up to May 1, 1890, when they
will either win or will try to
create general strike in all
branches of industry throughout
ahc country. That is their pro
sramn1e. They have given the
employers of labor fair warning.
No workingman and no en-
ployer of workingmen desires to
see a mighty war between capital
and labor. It's the part of wis
dom, therefore, to prevent such a
war if possible. The labor
unions have taken hold Of the
matter in a very determined man
nef. Let the employers Of labor
do the same. But let tie two
sieIes to the CONTROVERSY consult
freely With eaeh other and try to
arrive. az a conclusion that will
be mutually satisfactory. AS each
Is interested in the welfare of tho
other, frank dealings and good
temper can accomplish, wonders
If in the course of. twelve months
the fair minded men on both
sides cannot settle for all time
this matter of the eight hour
day, then is civilization a failure
and the Caucasian most emphat-
ically is played out.
1t will not do for either party
to ignore the claims of the other.
Under existing conditions set
Element connot fail to be ex-
tremeiy difficult But cannot
those conditions be changed?
Suppose, for instance, the work
! ingmen should agreelto accept
eight hours pay @fereissffitt hours
work on condition that the neces-
saries Of life shall be cheapened
BY manufacturers. The latter
could afford to make such an
agreement, for an eight hour day
would neccssitate the employ
ment of many more worlingmen
than are employed at present, and
this lead iHvitably to a cores
ponding increase in the consumpA
ton of articles of necessity.
This Is one possible solution to
the problem. There are doubtless
others. If both sides take the
matter In hand in 4 spirit of fair1
ness Their is no reason why it
should not be amicably%settled

Senator Daniel, a Virginian,
should respond to the toast, "The

Kansas critic. 1t would seem, to
a student of history, which
reaches back beyond the last few
years wherein the Senator from
Kansas has exploited himself, that
it was emincntly proper for Vir-
ginians to participate in the ami
yersary of Washihgton's inangllr-

why President Harrison spoke
last. his arrangement stirred
his temper to its crimson depths.
The committee kindly explains
that the first place and the last
are the ones of honor and it was
deemed proper for the Mayor Of
the city to deliver the address of
