the result of being thrown to the

the attenuated matter composing it is
driven off into space and lost, to be re-
placed within twenty-four hours by an
entirely new tail.
On Saturday eU,ning, July 1S, after
the sky is thoroughly dark, observers
may find the comet easily by drawing
a line from the Pole star to Vega, the
very bright star little northeast of
the zenith, and looking about four de-
grees west of the middle point of this
imaginary line.
On the evening of the 23d the comet
will be nearly between Alpha Draconis
and the Pole star. about two degrees
from the former. On the 2Sth it will be
In the Big Dipper, a little above the
star Delta at the junction of the bowl
and handle. On the 3Oth it will be near
the star Gamma.
The comet can readily de distin-
guished from stars by the fact that it
presents the appearance of a hazy ball
of light in contrast to the sharply de-
fined points presented by the stars.

The motion of this comet is unusual

the comet is a fairly conspicuous object
in the evening sky, being somewhat
brighter than a fourth-magnitude star.
Observers will have no difficulty in see
ing it if they know where to look. In

ton a short tail can be seen projecting
from the head in a direction opposite

The next event was the final decision
of the Supreme court in Summers fa-
vor Sumner went te Magoon's house
at once Mr.. Davis was there. Davis
demanded $500 and displayed the note
for $4,000. "He said he had worked
hard day and night and deserved 81

$1,500 and Mr.. Davis refused Davis
got mad and my uncle wouldn't say
much then and stood up and said he
wanted to go home and I went with
him. My uncle said he would think
about it and see tomorrow
THE next morning we talked the
matter over in Magoon's office. My
uncle said he had thought over the mat
ter and decided $1,5OO was enough. Da-
Wis insisted on $2,5OO. He said If
don't get it I'll tie that money up in
the bank unless the fee was settled.

ed so hard. The money was paid
in Judge De Bolts office.
Judge De Bolt knew there was an
agreement or note and he wanted to
know about it. The note was pro-
duced and it was then that the endorse
! ment was made showing it was paid
Judge De Bolt remarked that he was
witness to it,
Andrews inquired whether Davis had
been retained to appear in the case.
Davis objected and the attorney gem
eral stated that he wanted to prove
that Davis had never been retained and
that the $4,000 note had been given for
another purpose. The objection was
overruled and the witness said he did
not know of the refining of Davis.
On cross-eXamination Davis showed
Summers power of attorney, authoriZ-
ing him to appear in all matters. He
asked If it had been all read over to
Sumner and Wylie said that it had and
that Sumner understood it as meaning
power to get the S4S,025 out of the
bank.
The witness testified that he vas not
present at Davis first interview with
his Mother. There was a very lively
interchange of questions and answers
over the locality of Mrs. Maria S. Da-
Wis home at that time.
you don't know what took place at
that interview" asked Davis
mo, don't"
The witness didn't deny that Mrs.
Davis had sent for George A. Davis.
Didn't you tell me your mother was
in reduced circumstances and that the
| Ellises were going to get some money
and she should have some?" asked
| Davis.
NO" Wylie also denied that he had
said he was supporting his mother He
admitted telling Davis that Sumner
was going to give the church $4,000 and
the Ellises $4,000. The attorney pro-
duced a letter from Kinney and Bal
lou which Wylie had brought.
Didn't I tell you l was negotiating
with Dillingham; for the settlement of
this suit over he reef property"
The witness first replied that all the
negotioting Davis did was about his
fee but finally remembered some such
, conversation.
Did | do my work at the instance
and request of Yourself and your
mother?"
Yes"
Were these matters all ended before
the first of December when the power
of attorney was given?"
Yes"
The witness admitted that George A.
Davis had refused to act for Sumner
without power of attorney.

The Doctors Statement.

st. John, Kan, Nov. 16.-This town
has a genuine sensation in the case of
little boy, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mcbride. DIR. Lines, the at
tending physician. says:
Scarlet Fever of very malignant
type brought this child very near to
death and when the fever left him, he
was semi-paralyzed in the right leg
and right arm. He also lost hearing
in his right ear and his mind was
much affected.
His parents tried another treatment
for time and when | was recalled
found that he was having spells very
like Epilepsy and was very bad and
gradually growing worse. l advised
the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in
a short time the child began to i'm
prove. Inside of week the nervous
spasms or epileptic seizures ceased al
together
Mr.. and Mrs Mcbride have made a
sworn statement of the facts and DR..
Jesse l.. Lines has added his sworn
statement saying that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else cured the fits.
