searched for another victim, young
man, but failing to find him, shot
himself Both died almost instant
ly.
The cause of the shooting il sup
posed to have been jealousy. Henry
Keller was extremely jealous of his
wife, and suspected undue intimacy
between her and young man nam
ed Adolphson. This morning he
was exercised to such a degree that
he started out after Adolphson,
armed with a revolver.
Being unable to find him he went
home and shot his wife, then turn
ed the gun on himself. Henry Kel-
ler was 80 years of age. Two chill
dren survive, both small boys. The
Coroner has been summoned and a
jury empaneled, but the verdict has
not been rendered.
Mr.. Keller was a very quiet retir-
ing man, and had kind and low
ing disposition towards his wife
aud children, and his friends here
can account for the deed only by
the extreme jealousy.

Borelli's comet is attracting more
attention than any comet that has

A three hour exposure with a
camera enabled Mason Smith, as

secure a fine picture of the new
comet. So rapid is the motion of
the comet that the camera following
it was obliged to travel faster than
the stars, so that the Photographic
plate appears with starry trails
across it's face. The new comet has
two tails, which while not showing
plainly in the photograph, are dis
tinct1y visible to the naked eye, or
through a small opera glass.
The new comets nucleus is 400
900 miles in diameter, while the
tails. appear to be between two and
three million miles long. They
may be much longer as the astrono-
mers are unable to tell at just what
angle. we observe them. The new
comet will continue to increase in
brilliancy, but will probably been
