LOOK OUT FOR THE COMET.

In a few weeks the evening sky will
display one of the rarest and most
brilliant wonders known to astronomy
The world famous Halley's comet,
after an absence of seventy years, will
again be within our range of vision.
AS science knows little Of the powers
of the elements farther out ia our
solar system and of their influence on
the celestial bodies, it is impossible
to predetermine the day of the week
when the wanderer will come into
sight. Astronomers all the world
over, however, are prepared for the
observation and study of the infre-
quent visitor.
The comet finishes its elliptical
path around the sun in period of
about seyenty-tiye years. The history
of mankind contains several records
of its recurrent appearances. In
ancient times, when science was in it's
infancy and superstition ruled the
WOTiu, COHcUS were IOohcu upoh DIS

went in bathing. Mclean was unable
to swim and the water was quite deep.
The boys amused themselves for some
time in diving off boat. Finally the
other boys missed Mclean and fear
ing that be had drowned they hastened
for assistance. Several men answered
their call and the body was soon re-
covered and taken to the home of
Mr.. Shortt. The coroner was notified
and after ascertaining the facts he
decided that an inquest was unneces-
sary.
The boy was sixteen. years of age.
His father came here on Wednesday
and removed the remains to Nekoosa
for burial. The boys mother has been
dead several years.

A RELIC.

Workmen on one of the dredgers at
Rice lake found a relic last week that
tells story of the long ago. At a
place just below what is known as
Dead Mans Bend, christened thus,
so it is said, because a riyerman 30
years ago, lost his life there by drown
ing, rusty smooth bore rife was
unearthed from the sands by one of
the dredge shoyels. 1t was buried
several feet under ground and from
appearances had laid there for half a
century. 1t is in a fair state of preser-
yation. On the barrel is the stamp of
either an English or French crown and
underneath the figures 1922, no doubt
the date of it's manufacture. If the
old relic could talk, wonderful stories
of frontier life it could unrayel 1t
was brought there at a time when
this part of Wisconsin was wilder

Indians. Geo. HI. Reynolds of this

and study up its ancestry and owner.

SUBJECT TO FINE.

The local inspector of oil, Geo.
Halder, as well as local dealers in oils,
have been notified of a new law
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature, governing the sale of oils.
Hereafter all oils coming into the city
will be subject to three testS-the
flash, burning and gravity. This rec
ord must be printed upon the tank
wagon distributing the same. The
law holds every store keeper, whether
a sale is made by his clerk or himself
liable to fine of from S5 to $500 if
his oils have not been properly tested.
Ii the merchant sells condemned oil
he alone is held responsible for any
damage suits which may occur. This,
it is thought, will result in few deal
ers selling oils which have not been
properly tested. The new law goes
into effect Aug. /.
Drug stores and other dealers must
label all bottles, cans or packages
with the name of the contents, not
only with the name of the contents
but with the admonition 'sunsafe
when exposed to heat or fire." printed
in red ink. Any person violating this
provision of the law will be subject to
fine OF from S5 to $500, or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail or by
both. 1t is believed that this will do
away with many dangerous accidents
which occur yearly because products
containing gasoline, such as stove
polish and cleaning fluids are placed

living here are asked by out-of-town
acquaintances to send them postais
descriptive of New York life. There
are hundreds of such cards for sale,
but none OF them gets right down to
the very marrow of metropolitan con-

Even persons who are perfectly ia

transfer to postal card a drawing of
a New York fiat, and there will be NO
mistake made as to the environment.

speechless. He was forty-two years
of age.
He is survived by three children.
He also has brother residing in

AS to Girls Who Whistle.

That old adage, "Whistling girls and
crowing hens always come to some
bad end" must be relegated to OBJ
Evion, for whistling has come into
fashion, and it would be cruelty to
prophesy calamity to all the girls now
striving to attain proficiency in the
art. Some girls taks as naturally as
boys do to whistling, while others
have to cultivate it, and there are still
others whose lips seem to refuse to
pucker up in the fashion necessary for
proper results. Boisterous whistling
is not the sort in vogue, but sweet,
birdlike rendering of melodic trills and
medleys which, artistieally done, is an
attractive, ,.clever accomplishment.

MYSTERIOUS.

A party of surveyors were in the
city the fore part of the week taking
soundings and measurements along
the river above and below the old
dam and since their visit considerable
speculation has been indulged in as
TO the object of their visit. Their
movements seem to have been shroud-
ed with considerable secrecy, and as
they gave no information regarding
their movements end work in this
vicinity we are II 5t in position to
enlighten the public. 1t has been
suggested, however, that their work
was the forerunner of more to follow
in the development of the water
power. Others have advanced the
opinion that levels and soundings
were taken for the purpose of deter
mining just how high and large
head of water could be held in the
big reservoir at Rothschilds without
the river ct this point going dry en-
tirely. Others say that the men
were simply examining the rock for
nations, the flora and fauna, and
other interesting things connected
with geological research. We have
nothing to offer as to the real object.
of their visit, and as the men gre-
fused to state for whom and what
object they were doing the work,
all we can say is that they spent the
greater part of Tuesday in taking
soundings and levels and left without
anyone being able to learn from
whence they came and whittier they
