END OF A LONG LIFE.
Mr.. william Lanyon, ST., Closes his
Earthly Career at the Age OF
Eighty Eight.

Mr.. William Lanyon, one OF Min
eral Points most highly respected
citizens, died at his home, on Satur-
day morning, Feb. II, at the adj
vanced age of lightweight years.
| His death removes land mark Of
our city--a sturdy character, who has
gone In and out among the people
here for a period of about fifty-nine
years: one who not only watched our
city's growth and progress, but by
his industry and upright walk in life,
contributed materially to the advance
ment OF the community and the devel-
opment OF its varied interests.
He was born in Zelah, Parish OF
st. Allen, Cornwall, England, Nov.
70, 1910, He grew to manhood there,
and was engaged In business for a
period OF about ten years, when In
April, 1910, he emigrated to America,
and the following month came to Wis
consin and located in Mineral Point.
He engaged in the hardware business
and established large trade. In
! 184O he established the Lanyon foun-
dry and machine shops, and carried
on the business for many years, In
which he was afterwards succeeded by
his sons Josiah and John.
Mr.. Lanyon was honored with sew
cral positions OF public trust, the
duties OF which he conscicntiously dis
charged. He WAS united in marriage
April q, 1893, to Miss Mary Ann
Bennett, II native of Cornwall, and
for IL period of more than sixty-tive
years they Travelled lifc's pathway to-
gether. 10 them were born fourteen
children, nine of whom survive. The
sons present mt the funeral, which
took place on Tuesday morning, were
Cyrus, Josiah, John, Simon and

replied.
The man labored. The printed mat

less, with the exception of fly speck
On one of it's corners. The sheet the
student had was minus a blemish in
that particular spot, but when it was
turned in there was a well-imitated
fly speck. There was not flaw in the
work, and he received rating Of 100
on that portion of his examination, and
to-day is one of the best and most trust

BIELA'S COMET.
The Periodically Seen Body Was OBJ
served This Year at SAN
tiagO, Chill.

The periodicity of Biela's comet was
ascertained on it's discovery, in Febru-
airy, 1926, by Biela; at Josephstadt, Bo-
hemia, and, independently, by Gambart,
at Marseilles, about ten days later.
Both discoveries remarked the similar
ity of elements to those of the comets
of 1772. imperfectly observed by Mon
taigna at Limoges, and the first comet
of 1906. Clausen's calculations showed
that the period of revolution between
1772 and 1926 had been about 2-3 years,
the comet having escaped observation
at the intermediate returns, excepting
that of 1906, when it was seen by Pons.
Prof. Santim, of Padua, principally oc-
cupied himself with the investigation
of the motions of this comet, as did
more recently the late Prof. Hubbard,
of Washington.
Biela's comet was observed at it's re-
appearance in 1882, but was missed in
1889, from proximity to the sun. AT
it's next return, in 1S45-46, it was again
found, and at this appearance a remark
able separation into two distinct nebu-
losities took place under the eyes of the
astronomers. In 1852 both components
were reobserved and were found to
have considerably widened their dis
tance from one another. At the return
to perihelion in 1859 there was no pos
sibility of observations from the I'M
favorable position in the heavens, but
in 1866, according to calculation, its
track seemed likely to favor observa
ton, yet, in spite of long and careful
search, the comet was not found, nor
was anything seen of it until 1872.

the intention, It would be the
final nail in the political coffin of the
President. The issue would then be
clearly drawn between the adj
ministration and Algerism and
all the vileness, rottenness,
favoritism and corruption in
army contracts, for which that term
stands on the one hand, and on the
other the people and the national
honor and our duty to our brave
soldiers-the finest army the world
ever saw and the worst mismanaged-
as represented by Gen. Miles.
And in this event probably
nothing could prevent Gen. Miles
being brought to the front as the
logical opponent of Mr.. Mckinley for
the Presidency. AS Mr.. Mckinley is
more keenly alive to the possibilities
and dangers of the situation than any
other man it is not likely, despite per-
sistent rumors to the contrary, that he
will make any effort to destroy Miles
officially, since it would certainly in
volve his own destruction.

NO ALGERIAN REoRGANIzATIoN.

The administration threatens to call
an extra session of Congress if the
army reorganization bill is not passed.
The administration knows it could
have the bill passed providing all the
men the President asks at once if it
would simply consent to the elimina-
ton of certain Objectionable imperial
istic and Algerian features now in it.
AS the administration stubbornly re-
fuses to yield an inch or accept any
amendment or modification, the bur-
den of retarding proper military legis
lation rests with the administration,
which, evidently, is not half so
anxious for more soldiers at this time
as it is to saddle an imperial military
establishment upon the country per-
manently at the behest of Wall street
and the trusts. If the administration
persists in its unreasonable and I'M
American stand, Congress will be justi-
fed in refusing to pass the Hull bill.
IL the administration SIuDUOTuly lays
down the dictum, the Hull bill with its
imperial and Algerian features, or
nothing, very good! Let it be nothing!
On this point the New York Journal
says:
THE country can probably get along
very we'll with 27,C00 men. 1t will not be
physically possible to disband all the war
forces in a day or a month. Before this
work is accomplished the Philippines can
be pacified. If necessary 20000 men can
be left there as an army of occupation, in
addition to a police force of any strength
deemed desirable by the military govern
ment. Cuba can be turned over to the
Cubans. and Porto Rico can be kept in
order by thousand men
IF this arrangement is found to cause
any embarrassment the President can
call an extra session a any time, and by
removing Alger, and consulting the fight
ing officers of the line concerning the
needs of the army, he can probably obtain
any legislation from the new Congress
which the situation really demands"

A NON-SUIT TAKEN.
The End of the Damage Suit Against
Hutchinson and Chapman.

In the case of Elizabeth Turner's com
mittee VS.. T. I. Hutchinson & Co. and
w. H. Chapman & Co. on trial before
Judge Hervey in the Circuit Court, the
plaintiff yesterday morning took a vol
untary non-suit, and the following order
was entered.
This day came the parties to the above
cause and the jury heretofore sworn to
try the cause Thereupon the plaintiff
asked to withdraw a juror and suffer a
non-suit in the cause, whereupon juror
was withdrawn from the twelve jurors
trying the said cause and said plaintiff is
non-suited in the action. 1t is therefore
considered by the court that the defend
ants recover from their plaintiffs their
costs in this case and $ damages"
This does not necessarily end the litiga-
ton, but plaintiff has time to consider
the matters not fully understood before
the trial was commenced, and the cause
may be revived later on.
