another large comet on the evening of 0cto.
Der 10TH The fact was noted in the associ
ated press dispatches, but some important
and interesting details which could not be
telegraphed are herewith given, The new
celestial visitor is in the Constellation of Pc
gasus, right ascension, 81 hours, 80 minutes,
deelination North II degrees, 80 minutes Its
rate of motion is quite slow, being in a North
westerly direction, go that it is approaching
the sun. Il has very strong condensation
on one side the centre, in addition to star
like neueleus, which indicates that it is throw
ing off an extended tail. From the fact of
its extraordinary size, we are warranted in
presuming that it will be very brilliant, and
the additional fact that ii is coming almost
directly toward the earth, gives COED promise
that il will be one of the most remarkable
comets of the present century. This is the
fifth comet which Prof Swift has discovered.
and the increased facilities which Mr.. II. II
Warner, the popular and wealthy medicine
man, has given him, by erecting amagnifce mt
Observatory for his benefit, promise much
more for the future. There is a possibility
that further developments may prove this to
be the great comet of 1912, which is being
constantly expected, in which event astrono-
mers will have gu unusual opportunity to test
the spectroscope for the first time upon these
eccentric bodies, and ascertai certainly what
they are.
The Street Bros Marshall g. Co. WOODEN
mill keeps the price Of wool at the very high
est notch q. Lancaster. The mill has also
added so per cent. TO the price of wood. It
gives employment to many who before were
often unemployed, so that we have some-
times to pay more for little jobs of work
than before. What better illustration can
there be in favor OF home manufactures for
the benefit of producers and laborers. A
large Touring mill would make the price of
wheat little higher. corn starch factory
would raise the price of corn. A big pack
ing house would give competition and raise
the price of hogs. A distilerv would bring
up the price of rye. The Importation of
few thousand families of meat eaters to run
all these and other factories would bring I'D
the price of meat and all other products of
the country And thus we see how "pro-
lection" protects the producer-the farmer.
Two young men, McCarty and Pitts,
boarding at Mrs. Coolies, report that or
Tuesday evening they discovered they had
been robbed of seventy odd dollars. The
money was in their trunks and the keys to
their trunks we're left in the pockets of cloths
ing hanging in the room. The money was
taken, trunks locked and keys put back in
the pockets. They think the thieving was
done in the day time by some person who
must have entered by the door and disap-
peared unperceived.
Sheriff Streeter deserves the comp lments
of all parties for his genial waiting upon those
who attend political meetings at the court
house. The keys being in his possession he
keeps the room in good order, fires up, lights
up and opens up and at the meetings as po-
litely and attentively ushers for the ladies
and gentlemen Of one party as the other He
Illustrates the fact that man can be gems
tleman If he is a Democrat.
The decline in the price of hogs contin-
ues but as yet is not very serious. To one
individual it is not much To the Great
West it is considerable. On the average
daily receipts in Chicago difference of 10
cents hundred pounds makes daily differ
ence of 81 500 on the amount of money paid
out.
