DISCOVERY MADE BY DEVELOP ING THREE PLATES AT

New Celestial Acquaintance Has No Connection With Halley's Comet, Say Astronomers-May Be Seen With Opera Glasses Easily.

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, September 5
 -Director Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes observatory tonight announced the discovery of new comet through photographic observations made by Prof. D. w. Morehouse of Drak uni. versity of Des Moines
 The presence of the comet was reveal ed today upon the development of three photographic plates exposed in three cameras last night. It is clearly defined and has tail several degrees long, and was found in constellation Cameleopar- dus, remaining above the horizon throughout the night. Its position was three hours and twenty minutes of right ascension and sixty.six degrees north declination. Its visual brightness, Pro lessor Morehouse says, could not be stated until after further observation had been made, but it will probably he visible through an opera glass. The new comet, he said, has no connection with Halley's comet.

is desirable. So they sit throughout the night around the fire in the tepee quietly praying and singing. And on Sunday night take it easy, eat in pie, nie style, and visit.
 James Mooney, of the bureau of eth. nology, who has sat with them during their worship and has, for scientific purposes, joined with them in eating the buttons, says that the rite in no respect resembles an orgy. It is com. paratively quiet and dignified worship At the established stage of the proceed. ings the buttons are passed around The first round each Indian takes four buttons, that being a holy number in their eyes. Afterward each Indian takes whatever number his appetite and devotion suggests.
 Mooney says that the use of the pey. ote does not tend to become fixed hab. it with the Indians, as opium does with the whites. He has seldom seen it used in any'quantity outside of times of wor. ship. Only occasionally do the Indians, "hNH thty aic SiNh, hdht use Oi il III smAll quantities.
 That the buttons have curative prop critics is firmly believed by the Indians, and their belief is substantiated by ex. periments which were made by the late Dr. D. W. Prentiss of Washington.
 Dr. Prentiss used the button with sue cess, as reported, in treating nervous diseases. It has soothing effect upon irritated membranes, and for that req son is popular with young Indians whose lungs have become affected through res idence in boarding schools.
 The danger in their use will be fur ther in vestigated by government ex- perts. Meanwhile, Mooney, who is probably the leading authority on pey- ote worship, is inclined to the view that perhaps the buttons have worse repu- tation than they deserve.
 This bad name comes in part from the incorrect use of the term s'mescal buttons.v Mescal, using the word in it's proper sense, is the name of a drink which is sold in the saloons of Old Mexico. It is brandy made from the root of an entirely different sort of cac- tus than that which furnishes the pey- ote buttons. And it is no wonder, in the opinion of Mooney that the misuse of its name has given peyote bad rep utation.

soN-IN-LAw BouNcEs CLEANER ON LUXURIOUS MOP OF HAIR AND NEVER FEAZED THE OLD MAN--No ARRESTS MADE.

BISBEE, September 5.-Oficers are looking for Mexican who tapped his fatheriD-law on the head with an axe. The axe was not injured. Neither was the father-in-law, to any appreciable extent. When the officers arrived in answer to call, at the head of Brew. cry gulch, the old man was smoking q cigarette. When asked to show his injury he finally locaetd it in mor of hair that would make an Ostermool mattress envious.
 It was to his heavy suit of hair that the old man owed his escape. Tn ex plaining the trouble to the officers he stated that he and his son-in-law had fallen out about "the burros,'' whicl they use in carrying wood to the city from the mountains. The younger Mex ican proceeded to settle the argument with an axe, but reekoned without talk ing into account the old man s mop oi hair, the pride and growth of many un combed years. The officers say that h, hit the old man so hard that he sprainet his ankles.
 Immediately after winning the argu ment from his father-in-law, the son.in law set out for parts unknown accom- panied by his wife, and they are stil there.

WOMEN TAKEN
 FOR BOLD THEFT
ENTERED HOUSE IN PHOENIX THREE WEEKS AGO IN ABSENCE OF OCCUPANTS AND CARRIED OFF EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.

PHOENIX, September 5.---For boldly entering the home of Carlos Hernandez near the city pumping plant three weeks ago and helping themselves during the absence of the owners to all they con. sidered valuable, Teodora Gomez and Carmen Hernandez were arrested this morning by Constable Murphy on a charge of burglary.
 To the braving of fate and inviting of arrest by Miss Gomez can be traced the capture of the two women, who might have otherwise escaped detertion had they exercised the common judg. ment that even thieves are supposd to have.s
 Two weeks after the robbery, Miss Gomez put on ladies waist that she had stolen from the Fernandez house and proudly walked down Washington street. Even in this she might have been safe, but Mrs. Fernandez happened to walk down the same street at the same time and recognized the waist.
 Mrs. Fernandez accused Miss Gomez .of having stolen the pretty waist from her home, and the latter confessed that she had, adding that Miss Hernandez had been with her when the house was ransacked.
 Miss Gomez and Miss Hernandez agreed to return the stolen property If allowed to escape punishment, and Mrs. Fernandez agreed to their request until she found that the female thieves were holding out several pieces of jew elry that had been taken.
 When the jewelry was not fortheom- ing, Constable Murphy was notified and made an arrest. He was able to recover everything but the iewelry, which has disappeared.
