WEATHER PREDICTIONS VALUABLE.
Rev. NJ. j. Savage Says Gen. Greely's
Forecasts Are Nearly Always Right.

Rev. NJ. j. Savage Says Gen. Greely's
Forecasts Are Nearly Always Right.
In spite of the fact that l often hear ii
said that the prophecies of the weather
bureau are generally wrong, the records OF
1890 prove that they were correct more
than SIS per cent. OF the time. And most Of
the misses meant only that the predicted
change was little earlier or later than
the time set. Now, considering the ca
pacity OF New England weather TO outwit
the wisest prophet, ] submit that this is a
most remarkable record. In the office at
Washington / examined a large map Of the
United States in which were speck pins or
pegs, indicating all the stations from which
reports are constantly received. These re-
ports cover force and direction Of the
winds, barometric conditions. temperature,
cloud, rain, snow, clear, all that are helps
to a knowledge of atmospheric conditions.
Twice day Autographed maps are issued
and sent out all over the country. These
contain an accurate and graphic picture OF
the conditions all over the land. 10 was
interesting TO take the maps II a week and
trace the changes day after Gay.
The general informed US that he was
obliged to make bis predictions precise and
show that such precision must be beyond
any human certainty. Let us look At
concrete case and see:

INGALLS, PACKING CASES.
TX Carpenters washington Letter.

! Frank Carpenters Washington Letter.
Senator John J. Ingalls, still remains
reticent as to his plans. He has not de-
cided whether he will edit a newspaper
at $50, 900 a year, give stereopticon lee
lures on the scenes in the United States
senate during executive sessions, In
which the mastery art of the cartoonist
will only be equaled by the pyrotechnic
language of the great Kansas orator, or
whether he will settle down to the
practice of law in one of the big cities of
the United States and run the business
for Ingalls, and revenue only. He feels
he is, for the time, political corpse, but
he has no idea that the corpse may not
be galvanized into life. He is, in his
own words, perpendicular and not hori-
zontal, as he told lady yesterday.
This lady came in to condole with him
on his defeat, and she entered the COM
mittee room at the time Senator Ingalls,
was experimenting the packing of some
long boxes of books which he intended
to ship out to Atchison. These boxes
lay in front of the door, and as the lady
shook hands with Senator Ingalls, over
them, she pointed downward and said:
81 suppose, Senator Ingalls,. these are
Colilho eiili ticy CoulaiA ChS iOh"'ho Va
the deceased"
NO" replied the senator, with an
emphatic nod. as his shoulders went
back and his head went up. "No,
madame, you use the wrong word.
These boxes do not contain the remains
of the deceased. The deceased" and
here he drew himself up straighter and
straighter, while he threw out his right
arm in a gesture of strength-''the de-
ceased is perpendicular and not
horizontal, and he will probably remain
in an erect position for years to come"
Senator Ingalls, will probably do moth
ing during the coming summer. He will
take from six to eight months of rest,
and will then, it is safe to say, go on the
lecture platform for the coming season.
Among the gratifying offers he has re-
celved to lecture are number from
churches, Sunday schools and Chautau-
qua assemblies, showing that the religi
Gus people of the country do not believe
that Ingalls, considers ''purity in politics
is an iridescent dream" He will proba
bly, open law office in Atchison in con-
nection with his son, but this will be
more to give the young man the chance
of the prestige Of his name than the
actual work, and he will only take big
cases.

The Mid-Continental Review, of Prof.
John Hay, published at Junction City,
for March, contains the EAGLES editorial
"Half-Priced Kansas" in full. The Mid
Continental, while it costs less money
than any review published in America,
being but one dollar per annum, is one
of the most scientific and progressive.
We never could figure it out how the
professor afforded such luxury. But,
like all lovers of science, he cares little
for dollars and cents beyond the demands
of the hour. The current numbers con-

AN EX-ALLIANCE NAN,
JIMMIE TowS.

! To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The intellectual giant of the Star Ali
ance, and who, by the way, seemingly
believes that the Alliance has life
Lease on Kansas, requested in late
number of an Alliance paper that the
EAGLES Long John" correspondent
publicly identify himself, as he (the giant
would like to take in some of those
stems" which l, in my article published
in the EAGLE of few weeks since, offer
ed to bet on certain conditions as set
forth In said article. Therefore, with
your consent, Mr.. Editor, and for the in
formation of the aforesaid giant, as we'll
as all other interested parties, l will say
first, that my postoffice address is Valley
Center, Kan, and at which place l am
well known. as | have taken an active
part in all the quarrels, fist fights and
shooting affrays, political and otherwise,
which have occurred in the city
and surrounding neighborhood with
in the past fifteen years, and
hence can safely give reference to any
and all prominent citizens of the town,
and also to the president and secretary
of Grant Alliance. The two last men
toned gentlemen like the good people
of Valley Center are noted for truth
and honesty, and, therefore, the least
they could possibly say of me is, that |
was formerly member of Grant Alli-
ance and during which did all for the
success of the cause in general that my
limited ability would permit, so long as
the order retained its primitive purity
and sought to attain the grand objects
and purposes for which it was oStensibly
brought into existence. And, no doubt,
if forther interviewed, they would in
addition say of me that when in time
and immediately following the new
birth, baptism and political transforma-
ton of the order our Elders" high
priests and chief moguls, as we'll as our
local political preachers and female
exorters sent out gilt edged invitation
cards to soiled doves from among rebels,
anarchists, socialists and Lord only
knows who or what all, to come and
room with we sinless hayseeds to the
end that we might bring into existence
new race OF political cranks and Office
seeking demagogues the Ike of which
had never before been known. I then,
like the vlrruous man that | am, made
haste TO quit the ranch and thus avert
the communicating influences as well as
the possible disastrous results of an IL
licit coha bitation with our new asso-
ciates. AS to those Items" | would say
that l not only still have them, but am
as anxious as ever to put them up on
terms as stated in nay former article, and
any correspondence addressed to
Long John at Valley Center, will reach
me in due time. and will receive prompt
attention. With malice toward none,
and love and sympathy for all, especially
for model Kansas wives and mothers
who are ambitious 10 manipulate state
vote, hold office, make po-
litical speeches and perform various
other like meritoriouS acts within

a dispatch from Washington in Thurs

mistake IN these figures. The current
price for the same grade of cattle is, we
understand, less than 81. 80 per hundred.
