A. S. Thomson, formerly of Rice
county of this state, but more recently of
Minneapolis Mimi, has come back TO
Kansas with view to locating in Wich-
ita. Mr. Thomson is a solid and wide
awake business man, whose acquisition
will prove of impors ance to Wichita. Hav-
ing looked the question all over he is sat
isiied that Wichita, as to location aud
railway facilities, offers the best opportu
tunity for the wholesale -four trade of any
point in the wheat belt of the west
outside of Minneapolis, and he expects
to open out in that trade at this
point. As our readers know this exactly
comedies with the position held by the
EAGLE Tor years Wichita from her loca-
tion with reference to the wheat acreage
and yield of Kansas upon the one hand
and to the markets on the other ought to
be a great grain and flour market. One
third of the entire wheat yield of the state
would be directly tributary to a market
here when once established. Mr.. Thorn
son understands the situation and his
present intention is to cast his lot with US
and to give us the benefit Of his operations
in the way of an increase of tonags and OF

play is the railroad scene in the third act.
The largest locomotive ever used in any

pressly for this play. Mr.. Robbins, the
new lesdng man, proved himself TO ne an
actor of ability. Tonight the Spooners
will produce a three-act comedy, written
especially for this company by Mr.. Hal
Reid, entitled "The Dean The story
deals with an absentminded professor who
had marriageab!e dsughter and fine

by the absent miudedness OF tie dean.

some men touched off a giant
fire cracker at the corner of Douglas ave-
nue. and Lawrence avenue that shock the
ground and was heard for miles. The
church bells rang upon the clear air i'm
mediately after, the report of several guns
and pistols rang out and the new year was
in and the old out.
The most exciting incident of the night.
however, is reported from Riverside.
A number of colored people were hold
ing watch meeting at a friends home.
All were praying softly when one woman
with her eyes sticking out like bolt heads
on boiler, sprang to her feet and yelled:
Heavens and earth! Look at thatr'
She gave one look through the window,
gasped and staggered back.
Her friends were first astonished at her.
They looked out the window. Then they
were stupifed.
There in the heavens as plain as day,
turning bright. were the four Arabic
signs 1854"
"Mercy on us!" This from the whole
crowd.

handwriting stood out palmer than ever

Back into the house they fed terror
stricken, and there they stood stiff
frozen where they stopped, dunibly star
ing at one another. Two minutes later
one of the men recovered and ventured to
peep at the heavens. The omen was gone.
Yesterday the frightened people learned
the cause of this mysterious demonstra-
ton, and laughed at their fears.
Gerald Volk had received balloon from
a friend in Chicago, with instructions to
send it up at midnight, New Years. He
did so, and was as much surprised as any
body to see the thing unfold into 1897 in
large figures. The wind carried it north
westerly, and it was descending when the
colored woman saw it. That was all.
