CURFEW FORGOTTEN.
Warning to Children Has Not Been
Rung for Three Years

What has happened to the curfeW
ordinance? 1t has. been something IKE
three years since the fire bell has been
used to ring out warning ana q
threat to youngsters under sixteen on
the streets ''or in any public place
after s o'clock in winter and O'Clock
in summer.
A good many people have forgotten
that Topeka ever had curfeW law
But the city council passed such an
ordinance in August, 1896, and from
that time until October, 1900, the fire
bell was struck every winter evening
at 7:45 and every summer evening at
e:45.
L don't know as I can give any real
reason why the curfew IS no longer
rung," said Chief Wilmarth this morn
ing. TT has simply fallen into disuse
OF course there is no reason why II
should not be rung now, but the prac-
tice was discontinued at the time that
we moved from the old city building to
the present quarters. That was in Oc-
tober. 1900 The fire bell was taken
down at that time to be moved to the
Auditorium and for some time-well,
to be exact, until February, 1901-it
rested on the ground and could not be
rung for fire or any other purpose Al
that time however, it was hung upon
a skeleton trestle and might have been
rung ever since, according to the pro-
visions of the ordinance. There We're
several reasons why it was discontinued,
however One was that, as hung now.
the bell can be heard for only few
blocks; and another was on account or
the Auditorium being used for evening
entertainments il was thought unadv1s-
able to disturb the audiences except IN
case of fire. There was no demand for
the curfew, and everyone seemed to
have forgotten all about it. OF course.
if such a demand has arisen now, the
bell can be rung as formerly.

NEW COMET IN SIGHT.
1t Is Only About 2O,OOO,OOO
Miles Away.

San Jose, Cal, July 13.-Prof w. w.
Campbell of Lick observatory, gives
out the following:
The comet discovered by Borelley at
Marseilles three weeks ago has been
under observation by various members
of the Lick observatory staff 1t prom
lses to be an unusually interesting OBJ
Ject. Its brightness has increased very
rapidly, until it is now as easily visible
as a fourth magnitude star.
On Monday evening observers should
experience no difficulty in detecting it
about two degrees southwest of the
bright star Alpha Cygni. Its motion is
carrying it southwestward about five
degrees daily.
The orbit of the comet has been COM
puted by Prof. Perrine. It is now in
parabola in such a way that its
nearest approach to the sun will occur
31,000,0O0 miles. Its present distance
from the sun is about 100, 000 900 miles
and from the earth about 100000.
To the unassisted eye the comet will
appear as hazy patch of light. An
acute eye should be able to detect a
short tail projecting away from the sun.
Our photographs have recorded two
prominent tails each several degrees in
length. While it is always unsafe to
make predictions as to how bright ii
comet will grow, yet there is little doubt
that this one will be a fairly con-
spicuous object in the evening sky. In
Ldct SnOulu expect II TO De the bright
est comet of the past ten years.
This is the comet for which Miss
Byrd, the observer from Smith college
observatory, was looking through the
Washburn observatory last week. Miss
Byrd did not possess accurate Informal
ton as to its whereabouts at that time
and was unable to find it.
DR.. Norman Plass of Washburn col
lege said that no effort had since been
made tn locate if Prof Cam nha1liS hi :
rections will be followed tonight in an
effort to find the body. Miss Byrd is
visiting near Lawrence but is expected
to make another trip to Topeka soon.

Cloudburst at ST. David.

A veritable cloud bnrst occurred at
st. David. on Thursday afternoon, and
much damage is reported among the
ranchers of that section. For several
hours the rain fell in torrents aud
every creek and wash was running
bankfull while the downpour was heav.
ier than ever recorded in that neigh bor-
hood. About 2 p. m. a climax was al
most reached by flood of water from
a point above ST. David and resultant
of cloudburst, rushed over several
ranches in its seething race toward the
lower lands aud the river. A minia.
ture ocean of water covered the coun.
try and almost ruined the ranches in
its course by depositing tons of gravel
and rocks upon the titled $, il of tho
irrigated lands under fence. Every
rancher on the river suffered loss of
hay by the heavy rain, and it is assert
ed that the oldest inhabitant had not
seen the amount of water visited upon
them before as threatened to drown
