15O.OOO,OOO MILES FROM EARTH.
That Is the Position of Holmes Comet
as Computed by Prof. Boss.


as Computed by Prof. Boss.
ALBANY, n. ", Nov. 20.-Calculations
made at Dudley observatory by Prof.
Lewis Boss indicate clearly that the
Holmes comet is not identical with the
comet Of Biela and that it will not come
near the earth. A week ago the comet had
almost exactly the position which Biela's
comet would have had if it had been seen
coming on the accustomed track. Holmes
comet also appeared to be moving across
the face OF the sky in nearly the same
direction that Biela's comet would have
moved had it returned to view at this
time, but with the lapse of time and thor
ough and exact observations, the mo-
ton OF Holmes comet appears to be in
consistent with the idea that it Is identical
with Biela's
The difference in motion is not great,
but it is enough for Prof. Boss to state that
on account of the apparently slow motion
OF the comet it is impossible to obtain
very accurate mathematical results from
the observations thus far made
The slightest deviation in the accuracy of
observation changes the position of the
comet in space by enormous intervals.
Weeks must elapse before thoroughly re-
houic TeSultS can Oe ODLalncu. PrOI. BOSS
computed the orbit of Holmes comet; first,
on the supposition that it moves on a par
abolic path and, secondly, on the assump-
ton that its orbit is elliptical. On the
first supposition the distance of the
comet comes out greater than 10O, 900 ,OCO
miles. On the second the distance appears
to be about $50, ,0OO, 900 miles. While these
figures are liable to be very greatly
modified hereafter, there appears to be
every probability that this comet is
far beyond the orbit of the comet of Biela,
and, if so, it appears almost certain that
the distance of Holmes comet from the
earth is increasing rather than diminish
ing. Why it was not discovered weeks or
months ago is a mystery, for it should
have been brighter in October than now.
The ascertained facts in regard to the
comet will cause a collapse of public inter-
est III the matter, but to astronomers it
wifi continue to be of great interest, since
it presents problems of much interest, both
from mathematical and physical point
of view

PRAIRIE FIRE IN NEBRASKA.
Four Miles of Country Near Bassett
DeYaStated hY Elamea.

OMAHA, Nov. 20.-A Bee special from
Newport. Neb., says: One of the worst
prairie fires Brown county ever witnessed
started today while the wind was blowing
a hurricane. The fire started one mile
east of Bassett, spreading three or four
miles in either direction aud sweeping
everything before it. The damage, at this
writing, is impossible to estimate.
Farmers, aided by 200 people, by hard
fighting saved thousands of dollars worth
of property. Several families were COM
PEELED to seek fields. lakes, wells and caves
to save their lives. Four or five farm
houses, with barns and granaries, were
burned. As near as can be learned no
lives were lost. The fire is still spreading
in a southwesterly direction.

During the past week there has been considerable comment in this vicinity regarding some unjust charges that have been made against Judge Kibbey.
 From what can be learned sn6 from the expressions of the general comau- nity, the charges were characterized Gin statements and allidavits made by our best eitizens) to be utterly false and without foundation of fact, made through malice and personal spite, by unreliable and irresponsible parties, who richly deserve the contempt they are hberally receiving from all fair minded citizens.
 It can be safely said that these charges of unseemly conduct, so thor onghly rpfuIed by the people Judge Kibbey resides among, and so thor oughly ventilated by the ailidayits and statements denying their truthfulness and exposing the insignificant and con temptiblo origin of the same, will have only the effect of making Judge Kibbey occupy position still higher in the confidence and esteem of the people of Arizona, and it can be said with pride that as a judge and gentleman he is peer of the best Florence Tribune.

 The burning of Chinaman's shanty, in tho rear of the Masonic Hall, on Monday, caused considerable alarm for few minutes, Fortunately the light rain and snow that fell during the morning had dampened the roofs and walls of adjacent frame buildings, and there was a temporary lull in the wind Had it not been for these favorable conditions, disastrous conilagration might have resulted. A few buckets of water prevented the spread of the flames until the burning shanty was consumed, The origin of the fire as related to us, is somewhat ludicrous. The occupant of the shanty, Gee Kse Quin, who is but half-witted conceived the idea of matching eggs by artificial means, Gnd set up a crude incubator consisting of tin can to hold the eggs and small lamp to furnish heat. The lamp took fire and in few minutes the flames had sprsad beyond control Kee, giving expression to his disgust, said Chi naman too much damn fool.
