The proclamation follows: To the People of Kansas The members of the Twentieth Kansas, now In San Francisco, are expected to arrive In Kansas Thursday, November 2nd.

Their splendid record In the Philippines, their manly deportment in camp and their soldierly qualities In battle have endeared them to the people. As the gallant soldier of Kansas carried the flag to the front a generation ago In this country, ('( the Knnsns soldier of this day has carried the same banner in the forefront of battle In the Philippines. Because of the valor of the American soldier, pnst and present, the flag Is respected by more people today than ever before.1' I hereby designate the day of the return of the Twentiet Kansas volunteers as flag day, and recommend that on that day the flag be displayed from all public and private I ulhl-Ings; that all trains and street cars, omnibuses, hacks and private conveyances be decorated with the national colors; Hint appropriate exercises be held In all the public schools. 1 most resitectively Invite all editors, ministers and teachers In our university, colleges and public schools, state, county and city offic "A national custom dear to the hearts of the people-call for O'e selling apart of one day In eaeli year as the occasion of special thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings of the preccedlng year. This honored observance acquires with time a tender significance.

It enriches domestic life. It summons under the family roof the absent- children to glad reunion with those they love, "Seldom has tliis nation hail greater cause for profound thanksgiving.

American patriotism has been exaUed.

Those engaged In maintaining (he honor of tinting w-ith such signal success have been iaa large degree spared from disaster and disease. An honorable peace lias been ratified with a foreign nation, with which we were at war, and we are now on friendly relations with every power 011 earth. "The trust, which we have assumed (or the benefit of the poo-pie of Cuba has been faithfully advanced.

While the insurrection still continues in he island of Luzon, business is resuming its activity nnd confidence in the good purposes of the United States is lielng rapidly established throughout the archipelago. "For these reasons and countless others, William MeKlnley, president of the I'nited States, do hereby name Thursday, the ISOth day of November, next, as day of general thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed as such by all our people on thiscontiiient, and in our newly acquired islands, ns well as by those who may lie at sea or sojourning Iti foreign lands, and I advise that on Ids' day religious exercises shall be conducted in 1 lie churches or meeting places of all denominations, in order that in the social features of the day its real significance may not be lost sight of, but fervent prayers may be offered to the Most High for a continuance of the divine guidance, without which man's efforts are vain, and for divine consolation to those whose kindred and friends have sacrificed their lives for our country.

San Fraud co did not The following story from Hutchinson appeared In Sunday's Topeka Capital. It tells a story of blasted hopes that a progressive city had Indulged.

The purchase of the road by the Santa Fe strikes a severe blow at, Hutchinson, and may interfere with the prosppcts of many cities In Oklahoma. The Santa Fe railroad has acquired the Hutchinson and Southern rail road. The deal was consummated several days ago but has been kept a secret. The price paid for the road cannot be definitely learned, but it Is known that a Hutchinson man who had some stock In the road was paid at the rate of ten cents on the dollar for his stock. The road Is bonded for $5,000 per mile.

If the price paid for all the stock Is the same as w.vs paid to the Hutchinson stockholder, the road cost the Santa Fe $290,000. However, it Is not known whether the present company is to assume any of the Indebtedness not represented by the bonds. There was a rumor of the purchase of the Hutchinson and Southern some time ago when President Kipley of the Santa Fe, wentovertbe road. There Is also a persistent rumor, with no menns of ascertaining the truth of it, that the Rock Island and the Santa Fe have some sort of tin understanding regnrdingthls latest purchase of the Santa Fe.

This Year's Kansas Corn Drop Worth Double that of Any Other. 1 The big corn crop this season Is compared with the former extraordinary crop, 1889, which wasesttmat-ed at 273 million of bushels and its value put down in the report of the State Board of Agriculture at 51 million dollars.

Corn after that crop was gathered fell to 15 and In some spots 10 cents a bushel. But within lx months corn sold in Kansas at 40 and 45 cents. It was in the bumper corn year with corn at 15 cents that the Alliance blossomed into a political party. The low price of corn was the main issue. The H00 million corn crop this year Is expected to bring in more money to the farmers by many million dollars than the crop of '89.

There are more cattle and hogs in the corn belt and rthe farmers are in better condition to hold their corn and sell on the lhoof, while the banks were never In letter shape to carry them. The total return from the year's corn crop has been estimated as high as 109 million dollars, which is twice the- value of the '89 crop. 5 Some Facts. Immigration of foreigners Into the United States seems to lie drawing toward Its end; the population of our country has advanced at a less rate in the last five years than ever before recorded. We, who are here, however, are doing well; we bought '30 per "cent less of other nation's goods In 1898 than in 1893, while we sent abroad 1400,000,000 worth more.

The increase in -osiimptlon of raw material by oi ln-dustrieBt also, ha amounted to 50 jier cent in the same period. We are raising more grain and lean stock; there were ten million more acres under cultivation In 1897 than in 1893, and twenty-five million head of live stock less. There Is 241,000,000 m-ore gold In circulation than years ago, whereas the silver and paper money have remained at the same This shows quite plainly that the people at large look upon gold ns property, and consider silver and paper as mere conveniences for making change. This appears also from the opposite state of things reported from the treasury, where the surplus money, not wanted for actual use, has piled up; silver has Increased one-half more than gold. This refers to actual money in the 'sense of wealth; wealth of the country is not so easy to arrive at, but the business done by the national banks has increased thirty per cent in the five years.

This would look as If we were all a little better off. Our unfortunate friends, the railroads, seem to be the only ones, who, sw aclass.havesuffered. The volume of business done by hem was proportionate to the accelerated trade the country, but their gross re-iceipts fell off notwithstanding and their net profits WO. This In the face of desperate efforts toward economy of operation, which the serious nature of their case has made obligatory upon all the roads. Some day the railroads will have to go out of business, and we will all revert to the good old methods of locomotion and transportationthe stage coach, the ox wagon and the pony express.
