A strong prohibition wave is
sweeping over this country. and
strange as it may seem, but true it is,
that it is doing more effectual work
in the southern than in the north
ern states. In this state the big
brewery and liquor interests are
making an active and determined
fight to offset the effort that is being
made by the Anti-Saloon league.

NEW COMET DISCOVERED
AT YERKEs OBSERVATION

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, Sept. 2.-Di-
rector Edwin B. Frost of Yerkes OBJ
servatory tonight announced the dis
covery of a new comet through photo
graphic observations made by Prof. d.
w. Morehouse of Drake university of
Des Moines. The presence of the comet
was revealed today upon development
of three Photographic plates exposed
in three cameras last night. 1t is
clearly defined and has a tail several
degrees long and was found in the
constellation Camelopardus, remaining
above the horizon throughout the night.
It's position was three hours and
twenty minutes of right ascension and
sixty-six degrees north declination.
The visual brightness, Prof. More
house says, could not be stated until
after further observation had been
made, but it will probably be visible
through an opera glass. The new
comet, he said, had no connection with
Halley's comet Prof. Morehouse has
been engaged during the summer in
graduate work at Yerkes observatory
in astronomical photography under di-
rection of Prof. Barnard.
