Elkins, w. Va, Oct. l3.-Mayor A. NJ.
Fredfock of this city received several
complaints recently that stray cows were
damaging the lawns of the residences

ordered Chief of Police Davis to arrest

Sunday the chief called upon the may

The mayor was delighted.

mand to the owners for their careless

HALLEY'S COMET IS
EXPECTED In 1910
Star of Bethlehem Which Guided to
Christ, Some Believe.

Rochester, n, ", Oct l3--Among the
astronomers interested in the expected
appearance of the famous HALEY comet
is Prof. Howard 1Iinehlin of Rochester
university. just at present the comet
is rushing from somewhere in illimitable
space toward the sun at a velocity of
several million miles an hour.
Prof Winchin believes that the comet
will not appear until the fall of 1910,
if it follows previous periodic appear
ances 1t may even be delayed beyond
that time.
Special interest attaches to the com.
ing Of the comet because it last appeared
in 1888, before the perfection of present
Astronomical instruments.
II has been suggested that the comet
is the star Of Bethlehem, which guided
the wise men to the stable in which
Jesus was born.
Prof HALEY discovered the comet in
1851. Haley's comet seems to have a
period Of rs years, and HALEY figured
that its first appearance must have been
about II B. G. This is part of the argu-
ment that it could not have been the
star Of Bethlehem.

Minchlin says, will be large and bril-
liant with a magnificent tail. When it

HEALTH DEPENDS

New York, Oct. l3.--Mr. Andrew NJ.
Mcconnell of Alabama told an audience

that life electricity" is it, According
TO Mr.. Mcconnell, the human body is

membranes highly alkaline and your hide
highly acid you are sure to keep on liv-

Human electricity is the universal
