Scientific authorities are not agreed as
to the identity and the path of the comet
that is believed to be in the neighbor-
hood of the earth's orbit at this time.
One astronomer says it is Bielas comet
and that it may give us swish of its
tail at proximity of 10000 900 miles.
Another says that the wayfarer of the
heavens is not Biela's comet al all, that
it has not the slightest intention of pay
ing us a visit, that it has never been
within go. 900, 900 miles of us and that,
instead of approaching the earth, it is
getting away just as fast as it can. AS
to the direction travelled and intentions
of the aerial traveller the next twelve
hours will determine.

Average yield per acre of 1874.
What other equal amount of territory
anywhere in the United states can show
such a record.
What other city in the United States is
surrounded by such a wonderful pro-
ductive country?
Every county named is reached by
railroads running direct from Wichita
through their entire extent, thus making
Wichita the natural market for this i'm
mense product. This wheat is all of the
very best quality and has worldwide
reputation. 1t is demanded not only in
the flour manufacturing cities of this
country, but also in Europe. In Wich-
tia should be immense storage elevators
for the benefit of the producer, that he
may be able 10 hold his wheat for salts
factory prices. Such elevators would
be profitable for the capitalist and the
dealer. Those who first lay hold upon
these opportunities will reap the greatest
reward.
But all this wheat should not leave
this city manufactured. There is no
better location in the country for large
flour .ng mills, than right here. Here is
the source OF supply, and the markets
of the world can be reached as easily
and as cheaply as from the milling cities
of the northwest. The immense pro-
ducts of cereals and meats of the great
state of Kansas will not much longer
seek the Atlantic seaboard, by all rail
route. in order to reach the markets of
the world. The current of traffic will
ere long be turned to the south, and seek
an outlet through the harbors on the
gulf. Two railway lines already run
from Wichita to Galveston, and the
third is stretching lis steel in that di-
rection as rapidly as possible. The prob
lem of cheap transportation will soon be
solved, and then Wichita will enter
upon an era of unparalleled prosperity
and development.
No city in all the west offers such in
inducements for the investment of capt.
tai, and the expenditure of force and
energy as does the city of Wichita to-
day. Investigation will prove this state
ment correct. G.. w. CLEMENT.

prayer s'soft, sweet and moderate
showers" fell, continuing for two weeks.
The fasting and praying were changed
into devout thanksgiving.
No fixed date was recognized, though
the occasion was observed at Intervals
of from two to five years by the colo
nists, Dutch and English, up 20 the rev.
olution, when congress annually recon-
mended days of Thanksgiving. The
first observance appointed by President
Washington was in 1871, the occasion
being day of rejoicing for the adoption
of the constitution. In 1895 he issued
call for national thanksgiving. This
was for Thursday, Feb. 10,
In 1868 President Lincoln proclaimed
a national thanksgiving for the ialt
Thursday in November. Since tina: year
every president of the United States has
appointed the last Thursday in Novem-
Der each year as national thanksgiving
day. So the fixed day may be said to
date from 1868 and to have been estab-
Iished by President Lincoln. The custom
is undoubtedly of Je wish origin and is
borrowed from the Jewish Feast of
Tabernacles, divinely appointed through
Moses.

Denver proposes TO hold celebration
in 1903 in commemoration Of the centen-

states between the Mississippi river and

very proper move, and the proper place
for holding the celebration, from every
point of consideration, is Wichita, and
we are quite sure that Denver's high
sense OF the proprieties and her appreci-
alton of the natural gravitation of public
sentiment hitherward in this connection,
will prompt her to place the Peerless
Princess in nomination.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
desire to call the attention Of all per-
sons who produce and handle wheat
from the time it is planted in the sol
till it is put in all its different forms fol-
human food, to the September report OF
the secretary of the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture. They will find some
very interesting facts, not only in regard
to the production of wheat in Kansas,
but also as to ''the worlds wheat situa-
tion"-the production, supply, consump.
ton, price, etc. etc. The report is very
valuable one, and we wish to call spec
ial attention to that part, which more
especially interests those people who are
interested in the growth and develop
ment of Wichita and central southern
Kansas.
The secretary In showing the wheat
production of Kansas for the year 1892
divides the state as nearly as possible
into three equal belts running north and
south. designated, as the eastern
central and western" belts. He
further divides these belts into as nearly
equal divisions as possible, by drawing
line from east to west making a
northern half" and Southern half to
each belt The eastern belt produced
11,329,913 bushels. The central belt
produced 50,673,417 bushels and the
western belt S,132, $50, making a grand
total for the state of 70,035. 500. The
central belt produced 81, 110,S5 bushels
more than both the others, or nearly
two thirds the product of the entire out
put of the whole state. The southern
half of the central belt, consisting of
eighteen counties, as arranged in the
report, produced 30,357, 036 bushels.
We add to this division of the secretary,
the counties of Ellsworth and Cowley,
and we have twenty countiee all tribut-
ing to Wichita, that have produced this
year 33, 240,4 Ala bushels of wheat as
follows:

The Salvation Army congress, that has
been in session in New York City the
past week, was unique and to the last
degree an unconventional gathering,
whether viewed in its religious, military
or congressional aspects. Yet it is easy

trappings a rare spirit of zeal-a species
of religious esprit du corps-which ex-
plains the co2esiveness and evident
growth OF an organization that many
observers fancied was made up of incon-
gruous elements.
