The first day of the annual reunion- of the old soldiers and sailors of Kansas was an un questionable success. The number here is very large and is constantly being augmented, every train bringing in large bodies of strangers, and the city to-night is crowded, but ample preparation has been made to accommodate those who are now here.

The business streets are one mass of bunting. Taken all in all, the reunion will be the largest and best ever held in Kansas. A rapid growth of the Grand Army of me rtepuDiic is reported irom an parts of the State. A number of soldiers and citizens are also present from Missouri. The weather is delightful and everything tends to the pleasure of the visitors.

To-morrow there will be a grand procession in the afternoon at I o'clock, followed by a sham naval battle on the Missouri River. The reunion will close on Friday. The meeting of the Leavenworth Driving Park Association was postponed until to-morrow. As the track is now in fine condition good races are anticipated Leavenworth, October 10.

The speakers included Gen. Pope, Mayor Neely, Senator Ingalls, Hon. Lewis Hanback, Gen. Wm. Warner and Gov.

Leavenworth, October 11. The second day of the reunion of the old soldiers and sailors of Kansas is even more of a success than the first. It is said by those present at both reunions that this one is liar superior in every way to the one held at Denver. The procession this afternoon was the greatest known in the city's history. In the ranks were lound delegations lroni every section of Kansas, and also from manv Western States.

A good portion of them arrived yesterday, but many of them on to-day trains. On Wednesday there were one hundred and two coach loads and to-day fully as many. Consequently, by the time the procession was ready to form, the streets were massed with people. The line of march included the principal streets of the city, after which the procession marched back to the camp ground north of the city on the reservation. After the procession the naval en counter took place on the Missouri river, between the steamers Willis Cade and Rob Roy.

The decks of both steamers were crowded with people. The guns were manned by U. S. artillerymen. The fight took place on the river between the city wharf and the reunion grounds, and was witnessed by twenty thousand people.

As a sensational event the fight was a success. The balance of the afternoon was taken up with story telling, and in the evening there was a grand display of fireworks at the court house by the Club" of Topeka. The display was witnessed by thousands of people. During the day the Pennsylvania and Ohio troops met and formed organizations, and the Eleventh Kansas also formed an organization. The Ex-Prisoners of War Association also had an in teresting meeting in the morning.

There is much talk among the old soldiers of coming back to Leavenworth next year for their reunion. Population of the Earth. The population of the earth has long been a facinating study for statisticians Behm and Wagner, who have just published an amended edition of a former work in Germany. They give the total at 1,433,887,500 which is about less than their estimate of two years ago. They have concluded that China has 50,000,000 less than formerly supposed.

There has thus been an actual increase of about 38,000,000 in the population of the globe an increase, however, which must Be spread over 10 years, as many of the recent? censuses are decennial. For Europe the present population is rated at 327,743,400, showing an increase of about 12,000,000 over the previous figures by the operation of the censuses. In Asia, making" allowance for the readjustment of the population of China, there has been an increase of 000,000 the present population being set down at 795,591,000. Of course the esti mates must sometimes be little better than guesses, for example, for such places as Africa. For this continent Dr.

Rohlfs maintains that an estimate of 100,000,000 is quite enough, while Behm and Wagner retain the old figure of with considerable hesitation. Sale of Short Horns.

Ohio and New York, I nor a were also severe frosts in Minnesota and Dakota, and some damage in the elevated parts of Pennsylvania, and West Virginia and the Northern Counties of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa; but hardly any in Nebraska and Kansas is reported. Except in Northern Kentucky and Missouri there is no mention of rosts in any of the Southern Stiles. Pennsylvania is reduced 1 by the statistical "averages, Michigan from 60 to 45, Wisconsin from 76 to 50, Ohio from 82 to 60, New York frcm 77 to 57.

These averages are in several States based on systematically recounted results there in the Spring. While a revision of the records of the season may cause slight local changes; it is certain that the final average yield will not differ much from thirteen bushels.
