Chicago Sees a Comet.

Chicago. Nov. ga comet was visible
here in the southern sky last evening
It's position viewed from the AuditO-
rum, in which the United States weather
bureau is situated. was about ten degrees
southeast from the zenith. 1t was diff
cult to judge of its length for the reason
that it was pointed directly upward and
was apparently going from the earth, but
Prof. Cox, in charge of the bureau, said
that. in his judgment, it was about two
$50 O'Clock and at o'clock it became
invisible account of the increasing
haze. The comet was seen by many peo-
pie on the streets as well as by the Off
Gals of the weather bureau.

Turkey Nests with Partridge.

A peculiar and unprecedented friendship
has been found to exist between n turkey
and a partridge near Monticello, n. Y.
Herm COoney, who resides on the shores
of Silver Lake, has a small flock of
turkeys of which he is justly proud. The
queen of the flock is an especially fine
specimen, and has always proved perfect
domestic model, but for week past she
mas been acting strangely, leaving home
in the morning and not returning until late
in the afternoon. Affairs grew gradually
worse and finally reached the climax wien
she did not return home at night.
Mr.. Cooney, noticing the absence of his
prize turkey, organized a searching party
composed of himself and Patrick Gallery,
and started out to search the woods. The
search had progressed for some time when
they discovered the missing turkey, and by
it's side was large partridge. The two
were covering q large nest and seemed
perfectly contented. They were scared off
and 13 partridge eggs and nearly as many
turkey eggs were found in the nest. If
the partnership between the turkey and
partridge continues to be agreeable, Mr..
CoOney intends doing an extensive bust
ness in partridge and turkey raising next
year.

There is no substitute for Mr.. Greeley's
great work. 1t is a matchless story of
mighty events which covered a period of
the Nations growth from the beginning
of the Government to the close Of the re-
bellion. This work is so important con-
tributiOn to our literature that no library
can lay claim to being complete without
it. 1t is scarcely possible to be thorough
ly acquainted with the up-growing of the
American Nation out of d collection OF
struggling colonies until finally cemented
into one homogeneous union by the civil
war without reading this book. Our edi-
ton of this great work is exactly iden-
teal in matter, size of page aud type and
illustrations with the original There has
been no abridgement or curtailment of a
single line anywhere, but in addition to
the original work we have added a brief
sketch of the life of Horace Greeley.
We have the sole right to publish an
edition of The American Conflict at
price which brings it within the reach Of
many who hesitated to buy set of books
the cost of which varied, according to the
binding, from SO to- $13.

fairs, or in the study of the great ques-
tions which for more than 80 years di-

The National tribune., 1901-06-06

The Indians were located on it with the
stipulation that they were to reside there
permanently, ard that they should not even
have the power to cede unless by an agree
ment signed by three-fourths of the adult
male members of the tribes. Here lies the
kernel of the trouble in which the Gov
ernment finds itself. Secretary Hitchcock
and Indian Commissioner Jones have both
certified that the Department was defraud-
ed and the Indians deceived by an agent,
who. in the interest of somebody, foisted
upon the Interior Department a treGsy
which had not received the requisite num-
Der of signatures, to begin with.
This was the beginning of the trouble
which. upon its discovery, would have witt
ated the instrument, had the Indians them
selves not formally withdrawn the docu-
ment before it had been acted upon by the
Senate.
According to Judge Van Devantcr and
parties especially interested in the open
ing of the reservation, all these frauds are
n sufficient foundation for a valid acquisa-
ton of land upon which it is proposed to
settle hOmesteaders, simply because Con-
gress passed an act.
The counsel of the Indians calls atten-
tion to the fact that scores of acts have
been passed by Congress which the courts
have set aside and made null and void.
And he claims also that the courts have
decided in n similar case that not only
n citizen, but that even an Indian could
not be dispOssessed of his land the title
to which rested upon treaty rights.
The outcome Of the muddle is awaited
with interest; and in the meantime it
would be well for those intending to take
tour to inspect the lands to be vacci-
mated, because smallpox is epidemic in
every camp in the Territory.

Hunt for a Lost Mine.

!. S. Corson, of Sunnyside, and George
Chichester, OF Great Falls, Mont, have
just left the latter place on a hunt that
has bafflcd hundreds of men in the last
quarter Of a century. Not only is the trip
perilOus one, but it gives no more
promise of success than the previous futile
attempts.
The object of their search is a lost
placer mine, and the mode of reaching it
in this instance is a small, open rowboat
in the treacherOus Missouri River. The
story goes that in the early '60s the part
ner of the late John Lepley, who had been
down below Fort Benton, discovered a rich
placer claim and took several thousands of
dollars out of it. The prospcctor wrote
to Lepley to make the trip with him on
one occasion, but as the latter did not
reply to his letter he took with him, in
stead, squaw and two white men.
The party went down the river from
Fort Benton in a small boat and camped
one night on the banks of the stream. The
country abOunded in hostile Indians, who
discovered the party and killed all but the
squaw, who hid in the brush.
The place where the killing was done is
now known as Dead Man Rapids and is Il
few miles above the Musselshell. now
The squaw made her way back to the
fort and now lives on the Fort Belknap
reservation. She was unable to give any
definite location of the mine, but said that
the locator told her that the spot where
they camped was within ''One sleep" of the
end of the journey, but he did not say
whether by land or water.
Hundreds of searching parties have en-
deavOred to locate the mine since that
time, but none of them has been success
full. Those who are acquainted with the
geography Of the country believe that it
is in the Bad Lands at the mouth of the
MusSelshel, but the ground is of so rough
n character that it would take a mans
lifetime to prospect n spot 10 miles square.
Chichester and Corson are well supplied
with provisions and prospecting outfits and
profess to believe they will discover the
lost mine 1t is intimated that they have
an inside tip. At any rate, the outcome
of their search is awaited with much in
tereSt.

The Vatican Observatory.

By the destruction OF the observatory
at PekIn, China, and the removal OF all
the instruments by the French, the Vat
lean Observatory at Rome becomes the
oldest of its kind in the world.
There seems TO be scarcely any doubt
tE2t an observatory tower was erected in
Rome as far back as some time previous
to l5S2, and, as 1t would appear, chiefly in
connection with the refOrmer of the cal
erddr. According to Il. Crescent, the
author of work entitled "Nautica Medi-
terranea," which was published in Rome
i'll 1907, Pope Gregory XIII. was mainly
responsible for its erection. 1t is recorded
that the tower was intended exclusively
for astronomical observations and re-
searches and there is, from an historical
point of view, every reason to suppose
that it was the first celestial watch tower
ever built in Rome.
Since its erection, however and partial
endowment by Pope Gregory MIL, it
passed through so many and so highly
complicated vicisSitudcs, that it now
forms for the astronomical student a
large and interesting field of historical
speculation. AT one time it was most
anNiously cared for, and the scientific
work done there may be termed to have
been of the utmost importance: at another
time it was utterly neglected, and devoid
of any scientific management or control;
finally it became of worldwide renown at
the beginning of the last century, chiefly
on account of the scientific labOrs and
able management OF Philip Gill, who for
a period extending over 80 years was Its
director.
After the death, however, of Gill, which
occurred in 1921, it again became quite
disOrganized. All the instruments and
records were dispersed, and the Observa-
tory itself was entirely deserted both as
regards the scientific and social interests
attached to it.
In 1855 the Vatican Observatory COM
menced a new epoch in its history In
that year the cOmmemoratiOn OF the
5Oth anniversary of the priesthood
of Pope Leo XIII. took place, and
on that occasion all the instruments
and apparatus given by members of the
Church were brought together, and it then
occurred to the organizers of the science
section of the Vatican Exposition that
they would find a suitable home in the
soon carried into effect, and Padre Denze,
n great friend of Padre Secchi, was now
called upon to undertake the management
of the revived observatory. He began
his work in 1889 with a very interesting
and varied program, which he and his
able assistants have we'll carried out.
The investigations which were thus in
troduced there relate to meteorOlOgy, tre-
restrial magnetism, astronomy, and. last
ly, geodynamics. In addition, the build
ing is well situated for meteorological re-
searches and observations; moreover, it is
well equipped with the most modern in
struments necessary for the continuous
record of meteorological data. Since 1889
it has always kept well apace with the
times and would now bear comparison
with any observatory in Europe.

Only one thing puzzled me, and that
was the jingling of chains; but even this
was no longer n puzzle after | discovered
Il tube in the ceiling similar to the one in
the wall. Not only light but sound could
be transmitted through these tubes.
On the day before the next ghostly ap-
pearance l took pick and carefully loos-
ened the stones so they could be removed
quickly.
At midnight the ghostly manifestations
were at their hight when by Il sudden jerk
| threw down enough stones in the wall
to leap through, and in Il moment had the
honorable Mr.. Krebs and his assistant
both prisoners.
They had a full array of moving pic
ture machinery, and everything necessary
for the conveyance of sounds to the base
mcnt Mr. Krebs himself was an excel
lent ventrilOquist.
The wall of the cellar being smooth and
white as any canvas presented an excel
lent surface on which to present the NOV
ing pictures.
The motive of these worthless was ap-
parent to anyone. Their object was to
dcpreciate the value of the property in
order that Mr.. Krebs might purchase it
at his own price.
The confederate of Mr.. Krebs was the
tenant of the adjoining house, and it was
from his cellar that the ghostly machinery
was worked.
They were indicted for conspiracy to
cheat and defraud, and at this writing
are doing service in the States Prison.
