A Great Comet Due in 1910.

The most famous of all comets,
though not the largest and most brill
liant, will again be visible in 1910 This
is Haney's comet, so called from its
Identification by the great astronomer
who was the friend of Sir Isaac Newton.
Halley's investigation of astronomical
records led him to assert that the
comet which he had observed in 1852
had appeared in 1881 and 1907, and to
predict its temperance in 1859 The
fulillment of his prophecy excited the
most intense scientific interest and es-
tablished beyond doubt the periodicity
of comets and their movement in orbits
determined by the law of gravitation
It's last appearance was in 1885, its
period varying between seventy fly e
and seventy-six years on account of
the perturbing attractions of Jupiter
and Saturn in certain parts of its orbit
1t was by that time possible to caIou-
late its movements with so much
greater accuracy than before that it
made its perihelion passage within
four days of the predicted date 1t
was not then a very grand object to
the naked eye. but the light of its nu-
cleus surpassed that of second magni-
tude stars, and was comparable with
that OF some reddish stars of the first
magnitude. such as Aldebaran and An
tares. Its tail. while the comet was
approaching the sun attained to a
length OF twenty degrees.-Leslie's

ployed a young man twenty years of
age While he has not travelled much
Of life's road, he had suffered almost
constantly. He was not strong in body
or health, could not sleep or secure any
rest, and doctors and medicines afforded
him no relief. He had pains in the
stomach and back, subject to constant
headaches and dizziness. His physician
finally gave him up, and told him that
death was absolutely certain and posi-
tive. This young man is Elias Schools.
A friend suggested Quaker Herb Elk

and today his friends hardly recognize
him.

their attorney. or that such persons
are legal voters or a majority Of the
legal voters Of the township or ward

AS Edinburg Is in johnson county

These residents do not have to pay
taxes TO the town treasury and they
do not have to obey the ordinances OF
the council. At the same time they
are residents of the town and have as

Increase in Cotton CONSUMPTION

President Miller, of the North

The CONSUMPTION of cotton from
1893 to 1893 averaged only o,ooo. 900

from 1893 to 1908 the average was
Io,oS4,I4o bales annually, and the av-
erage price was 3 cents per pound
greater than for the previous period
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next fve-year
period, the average will be nearly r.
100000 bales annually, and the price
will be much higher than in the prev
ious period This indicates a prosper
