During the present week the comet
will begin to get its work in. Vennor says
that we may expect lots of weather on the
10th, when the eccentric visitor Is nearest
the sun. There is no scientific foundation
for expecting anything unusual at this
epoch. The comet rises now soon after
midnight ard if our horizon were not usu-
ally so very hszy, might possibly be seen
late in the evening very low down In the
north, northwest. 1t will begin to be con-
spicuous to the naked eye the latter part OF
the week, when the moonlight will no
longer eclipse it.
Kate Sheley,the young Iowa girl who,
under great difficulties and much risk to
herself warned an oncoming passenger
train of broken down bridge and thus
saved it from destruction, is to have fund
as reward for her bravery. She is sixteen
years of age, the eldest daughter of a fami- |
ly of four children, and lives with her
mother in poor circumstances. 1t is sug-
gested by Mr.. H. Herold in the St. Louis
Republican that each and every commercial
traveller throughout the United States con-
tribute 81 as memorial fund for the |
brave Kate Shelley Though seemingly a
small contribution, in the aggregate it
would amount to over 100000.
The celebrated Indian chief, Spotted |
Tail" is dead-killed by "Crow Dog" in a
fit Of jealousy at Rosebud Agency last
Monday. Spotted Tail seems to have been
fortunate in getting up boom for himself
in Sioux politics, and Crow Dog got envi-
Dus In a more civilized community the
envious man would have started scandal
of some kind with woman or some for
gerry in it, to kill off his political enemy,
but the Sioux do not take enough newspa-
pers just at present, to make such policy |
available, and Crow Dog was compelled to |
resort to more stringent measures. There |
is reason to believe that his plan worked |
quit, as well as a scandal would have DONE |
To kill man is one of the best ways in the |
world to check his interference in politics. |
Some smooth talkcr has been travel |
ing all over this county of late, buying up |
old feathers, offering to pay twenty-five
cents per pound and to give as many
pounds of new feathers in exchange for the
old at the same price. The price is much
too low, even for old feathers, but his offer
to sell new feathers for the same price is
very often an inducement to farmers to sell,
and it appears that quite number Of them
have bitten at the bait. To the inqustive,
who ask him how he can afford to thus take
old feathers in exchange for new, he replies
that an Orphan Asylum needs them for
pillows, etc, and that it can not use new
feathers for that purpose. The man is evil
IDENTIFY a swindler, and he could and UNI
doubleday does rcnovate the old feathers
and sells them for from fifty to sixty cents
per pound.
