THE COMET HAS GONE
The Brilliant Daniels Comet Disap-
pears after being Visible for
the Past Several Months.

Several weeks ago we published an
item calling the attention of our readers
to the new comet which was discovered
by Prof. Daniel, of Princeton University
on June 9th, and last week another
article was published telling our read
crs to get up and look for the comet in
the eastern sky between 4:10 and 4:40
in the morning, and in the article was
short interview with Prof. d. w. More
house, Professor of Physics and Astron-
omy, OF Drake University, Des Moines
telling of how he had been watching
the comet. Nearly everybody in Leon
must have read the article published
last week and many of them arose for
several mornings trying to geta glimpse
of the comet and then jumped on the
Reporter man because they could not
find any comet at all. And we will
confess that we arose in the wee small
hours of the morning and tried to find
it, but couldn't, SO we wrote letter to
Prof. Morehouse, enclosing the clipping
from last weeks Reporter, and asked
him If he could tell us anything more
about the comet, or where to find it.
We have received the following courte-
GUS reply from the professor, and by
reading it you will find that you let
the opportunity to see the comet slip by,
for it passed from view just few days
ago. 1t wasn't our fault either, for
we think that after we had gone to the
trouble of telling our readers to
get up and look at it the comet should
have had the good manners to remain in
sight at least until after the article was
published.
DRAKE UNIVERSITY
Des Moines, Ia, Sept. %, 1907.
Mr.. o. E. Hull, Leon, Iowa.
Dear Sir-Your letter of the 21st
inst. reached me this morning. In reply
to your inquiries l will say that the
comet is not now visible. 1t has been
beautiful object visible to the naked
| eye for over two months. 1t has been
changing it's position among the stars
quite rapidly. Ten days ago it could be
seen about 5 o'clock in the morning if
| one had an unobstructed horizon.
Your account Of it is quite correct
for the time when it was written. The
comet passed perihelion about the 9th
of Sept. and is now lost in his rays.
/ am sending you under separate
cover photo of the comet taken the
morning of the 18th of August with an
exposure of 40 minutes.
The photo shows the comet as it ap-
peared in small telescope.
Very truly.
DIV. MoREHousE.

Mix This Mt Home

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism
by forcing the kidneys to filter from
the blood and system all the uric
acid and poisonous waste matter, re-
lieving at once such symptoms as
backache, weak kidneys and bladder
and blood diseases.
Try 1t, as it doesn't cost much to
make. and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingre-
dents from any good pharmacy:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce. Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparil-
la, three ounces Mix by shaking
we'll in bottle, and take a teaspoon
full after each meal and again at
bedtime
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases Of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles 1t will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs. and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department:
II not. have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you. rath-
er than fall to use this, IL you are
afflicted.

FUND FOR Y. NJ. c. 4. Is GROW
ING.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM is
SHOWN BY COMMITTEE
Men Show Disposition to Give
Freely to the Fund of
the Campaign.

The hand on the big clock in
front of the Yakima hotel Tuesday
afternoon was pushed several points
ahead, showing upwards of SAP, 900
subscribed toward the Young Men S
Christian Association building fund
about 5000 secured since the
banquet Monday night. The clock is
seven feet in diameter and SO ar
ranged as to indicate in dollars the
progress of the canvass which is now
fairly launched
The notable feature of the new
subscriptions is the fact that most of
them were made by people who had
already subscribed to the fund. One
man put himself down for $500 to
the credit of one of the teams and
to whose solicitations he good ma
turedly responded to the tune of
$3.50 more
The lunch yesterday noon was at
tended by over sixty people, who
showed even greater enthusiasm
than the night before at the banquet
The dining room at the hotel was so
crowded that the committee mmedi-
ately after the lunch went over to
the commercial club rooms, and there
the names OF several hundred people
who had not given to the fund as
yet were assigned for solicitation.
A big chart on the wall was used
to record from time to time the sums
reported by the several teams. This
chart is arranged to show the total
for each team each day. also the to-
tai of all the teams each day and the
grand total.
1t is expected that at the lunch
each day each team will make a re-
port, get suggestions. inspiration and
new information for the next DAYS
work. These MONDAY lunches are
expected TO prove a most helpful fea-
tufe or the canvass, as they have
everywhere else where this method
OF raising funds has been used.
The ladies are beginning to get
interested in the rush that is being
made to complete the building fund
and inquiries have been made as to
whether they will be asked to help.
Secretary Turner has replied that of
course the help of everybody who is
interested in the higher welfare of
North Yakima is expected, though no
special arrangements have thus far
been made to secure the concerted
help OF the ladies of the city. Mr..
Turner suggests that the ladies are
no doubt interested in the same way
that others are-because the associa-
ton is great public enterprise: they
are also interested more directly, he
says, because Of their interest in their
sons or brothers.
