TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMO.
CRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION:-
We, Your Committee on Platform and
Resolution, report as follows:
,. The Democracy of Ello County,
through its representatives, assembled
at Elllo this day, declares it's allegiance
to the time-honored principles Of the
Democracy of the i. Nation. and with
pride and satisfaction endorses and
ratifies the Charter of human rights as
proclaimed by the National Democracy
at Denver and emphasized and pro-
claimed by the State Democracy at it's
recent Convention held at Tonopah.
The declarations of National and
State Convention deal with problems
and define the position of the Demo
cratic Party on every live question that
vitally concerns the welfare Of the
entire people, Nation and State, and
that we heartily commend these declara-
tions to the attention of the Voters of
Eko County for their approval, perusal,
study and ratification.
We congratulate the Democracy of the

We rejoice in the unanimous selection
by the Tonopah Convention Of HON.

Reclamation and Inland waterway pro-
jects are the scope of National Applica-
tion and Legislation, through which the
SONS and SONS of man will until time is
no more, by thrift and enterprise and
toll secure those rewards that ever make
the good citizen, the prosperous com
munity and the nobility that is true to
the welfare Of Nation. We earnestly
commend the career and service of

New York, Oct. 19.-The State Of
New York has defied the Federal courts
and Harry Thaw, instead of being tried
in sPittsburg today, as ordered by
Federal Judge Archibald, is detained
at Mattswan asylum by the stats au-
thorities. Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner,
deputy attorney general, employed for
| this case, induced DIR. Lamb, the sup
erintendent at Mattewan, to refuse to
give Thaw up. Attorney Morsehaucer
declares that Gardiner will go to Jail
| for his defiance. Ih&W was SO sure ne
could be taken to Pittsburg that he
dressed himself for the trip and had
his suit eases packed.
| New York, Oct. 16-The Morse trial
was resumed this morning in the Fed
eral Court. In opening the case for
the prosecution, District Attorney
Stinason characterized Morse lower
than common gambler. Both Morse
and Curtis will go on the stand, Morse
trying to defend himself, and Curtis
making frank confession. Several wit
nesses were examined, among them
being Charles A. Hanna, national bank
examiner and Alfred G. Clemmons. A
clerk in the office of the comptroller OF
currency in Washington. When some
papers were submitted as evidence
Morss's lawyers said they admitted the
signature was Morse's but denied that
Morse ever knew the contents of the
papers.

eagerly looked for, was first detected by
photography last January z. During
March 1t will move over the path A b.
Fig. B. 1t is drawing near the earth SO
from 192,OOO.OOO to 154,OOO,0O miles dur
ing this time. but It probably will not be
visible except in a small telescope.
Halley's Comet.
Rushing toward US at the rate Of co.,
600 miles a day there is another visitor
whose arrival is most anxiously awaited
by astronomers. This Is a great comet
captured centuries ago by the planet Nep-
tune, and which has reappeared at inter-
walls of seventy-six years ever since. 1t
is the comet which guided the Normans
when they invaded England in the year
1885, At its appearance In 1456, soon
after the capture Of Constantinople by the
Turks, 1t spread terror through the ma
lions of Europe, who considered 1t GER
tain sign of divine wrath. portending that
Christianity was in danger. The church
bells were rung each day at noon and
prayers were offered for deliverance from
the two great evils, the comet and the
Turks.
When nearest the earth this comet will
be a most striking and conspicuous object
count Of its very great distance, 1t has not
become visible even in the largest tele-
scopes. 1t Is known that It is now S00.-
100000 miles away, and that from Janu-
airy 1 to April 1 of this year it will move
along the path from 0 to F, Fig. 1. Two
years from now II will be only 10000, 0OO
miles away. and will be seen by every one.
The Planets.
Mars is still visible in the southwest
after sunset, but its distance away il
so great that it is in q very unfavorable
position for observation.
Venus has mounted high up In the sky.
and is the beautiful evening star. Toward
the end OF the month 1t will draw very
close to Mars, but it will not pass to the
east of this body until April 3. It is al
ready the brightest object in the heavens.
and will continue to increase in brilliancy
until May %, after which It will grow
rapidly fainter again.
Saturn can no longer be satisfactorily
observed. March 20 it will pass to the
west of the sun and become q morning
star.
But the most interesting Of al the OBJ
jects in the sky is the great planet Jupi-
ter, which shines out with a steady radi-
ance almost overhead. Even q small tele-
scope will show the delicate roee-colored
bands encircling the planet and it's four

motion of the moon during the month.
Our satellite will pass over the star d
March IL, at 6 hours 26 minutes am. and
over the star e March Il at 2 hours .
minutes am. March lS it will pass very
near the planet Jupiter. To observers
far north Of the equator the moon will
actually occult the planet. while even
to those in lower ATTITUDES the two bright
objects 50 close together will form a
beautiful and striking picture.
The Comets.
The great majority OF comets which are
discovered appear suddenly and unex-
pectedly in the sky. They are great
swarms Of meteoric particles and gases.
which fall toward the sun from the re-
gion of the fixed stars. and after pass
depths of space, never to be seen by us
again. 1t is quite possible that ages
after 1t has paid us flying visit a
comet may. in its long journey. pass suf-
f1ciently near another star to be similarly
attracted by this sun, and SO 1t may pur-
sue its endless course from star to star
among the countless suns Of our universe.
But sometimes the wanderers long
journey Is brought to a sudden termina-
ton. If the comet happens to pass near
one Of the four greatest worlds which re-
volve about our sun the pull of this latter
only be captured and forced to remain
near our sum- but 1t may even be destined
to be completely broken up and scattered
along its path. 1t will have been changed
into a periodic comet revolving around
the sun in a closed orbit.
Encke's Comet.
There are two of these periodic comets
in which astronomers are just now es-
pecially interested. The first in many re-
spects is the most remarkable and inter-
esting comet ever discovered. This is
Enckes comet. which was captured by the
planet Jupiter, and now moves I'm the fat
tened orbit A c. Fig. 2. but 10000. 600
it's orbit in about three and one-third
years. but 1t is most remarkable that this
time is continually shortening. and the
orbit continually growing smaller. This
shows conclusively that in its passage
through space the comet encounters some
disturbing body. This may be q meteOric
swarm through which it passes or some
other cloudlike medium, or even q single
mass, like one of the asteroids; but what
ever 1t u.s. 1t has not so far been seen in
the telescope.
Another remarkable fact is that each
time it approaches the sun the comet
shrinks together and grows very much
smaller When 1t first comes into sight
its diameter is about 10000 miles; when
nearer the sun it is only 1900 miles, but
as it recedes it expands to its original size
again. The cause Of this change is I'M
known.
