Martin-flbere Nuptials.

Last Saturday evening, about $50
O'Clock, Mr.. James Martin and Miss
Helma Elberg. two of the most pop
ular young people of this city, were
united in marriage at the Reed home
in the northern part of the city, the
Rev. Martin of the Nj. E. church Of
ficiating. Only a few immediate friends
of the young people witnessed the
ceremony. Mrs. Martin has made Lew
istoWn her home for the last two
years and is very popular with all who
have the pleasure of her acquaintance.
She is a beautiful young woman and
will make an ideal helpmate for "Jim.''
Jim Martin has also been in Lewistown
for couple of years and there is not
more popular young fellow here than
the bridegroom. He is an industrious,
honest, high minded young fellow and
is richly deserving of his good fortune
Mr. and Mrs. Martin have started
housekeeping in one of the Rebt

A dispatch from Helena states that
the supreme court has affirmed the
decision of the district court of Fergus

of the jury and granting, a new trial
in the case of William Ettien VS.. H.
B. Drum. The plaintiff sought to re-
cover the possession Of AZ head of

the plaintiff and the motion to vacate
the judgment and grant new trial

"The Burkett bill has for it's pur-

AT the recent meeting of the Ma

and was urging the adoption of the
permit system, which to my mind is
no more or less than a peonage prOpo-

leasing law, settler could lease land
in proximity to his own and fence it,
grazing his stock thereon. Under the
permit system, we would have con-

the privilege of grazing wherever he
found range. There is vast distinc-
tion between the two, and I would
call attention to the material advan-
tages in favor of the leasing idea.

This is evidently a new comet or
one of the numerous lost" comets
which astronomers have seen and have
made CALCULATIONS as to their return.
Such calculations are sometimes ac-
curate and the comet reappears at
about the time predicted. as in the case
of Biela's comet in 1892. The difficult
ties of the calculations, however. are
so great that they are comparatively
seldom accurate and the comets either
never reappear or at times varying,
sometimes by centuries, from the call
culated time.
Comets are OF different forms The
luminosity may trail behind as in this
case or it may precede the nucleus
Sometimes it merely surrounds it like
blur OF light. But this comet is like

A HEAVENLY VISITOR
A COMET IN THE SKY
It is Best Seen in the Eastern Heavens
in the Early Morning Hours.

There is a new visitor in the heav-
ems. a comet which has come unher-
aided by the astronomers. 1t was OBJ
served by a member of the Republican
staff on Tuesday morning about three
o'clock. 1t was in the eastern heavens
at an altitude of perhaps less than
forty degrees. The tail. which was
long and flowing with a slight curva-
ture. appeared distinct but the observ-
er having heard nothing of the comet,
supposed that the tail was an ocular
illusion produced by vaporization for
the star was closely surrounded by
clouds. The nucleus by the way had
the appearance of a star of the first
magnitude. The tail appeared to be
divided. sweeping backwards from
above and below the nucleus.
Nothing appearing in the next after
noon dispatches or in any of the dis
patches of Tuesday night with refer
ence to the comet, the observer be-
lieved that the apparent luminosity
had been produced by the clouds
Some time after midnight of Tues
day an Associated Press dispatch stated
that a comet had been discovered from
Arequipa. Peru. but there was no ac-
complaining information as to the To-
cality in the heavens where it had been
seen.
Yesterday morning the comet was
even more distinct though it was sur
rounded by cloudy conditions similar
TO those of the previous morning. But
by this tinle the observer had no doubt
that the comet was thing of fact and
not an illusion.
Yesterday W. Z. bancroft. who is
working several miles out Of Wicken-
burg, came TO Phoenix for no other
purpose than to inquire about the
comet. He had seen il for three nights.
with growing distinctness, and he went
to Wickenburg to learn what he could
about it. He was surprised that no
one there had seen it and that the dali
ly papers which had come there had
made no mention of it,
In the clear atmosphere of the
mountains Mr.. bancroft had a better
view of the mysterious visitor Ac-
cording to his description the location
and time is the same as that noted
by the Republican observer and the
general features Of it appeared the
same to him.
