yey, the information that Mrs. M,

B.. F. Lathrope of Fargo reported
that conditions in the district were i'm
proving, the only thing to complain
of to any extent being lack of inter-
est among the members of the unions
in attending the meetings; that the
switchmen in the city were out to a
man, and the daily papers commended
their high character and excellent be-
havior; that efforts to get the musi-
clans unions to affiliate with the state
federation had so far failed; that after
several anonymous letters had been
received by different persons, signed
"Only a Woman" he had made an in

People should not worry about any
thing. Worry never brings relief. II l
thought my readers were so lacking in
philosophy as to get scared about the
comet would not write about it. But
the comet is intruding itself into notice
and we must meet the ordeal bravely
and not show cowardice.
That long ronge visitor will come un-
comfortably close to our little earth next
April, May and June II our astronom-
ers have made no mistake. Early in
the mornings of April 1t will make it's
appearance in. the northwest with it's
tail streaming upward and to the right.
Rapidly. its brightness will increase for
ii will be coming toward the earth with
all the appearance .of a head-on coll
iision The fact is that the astronomers
are little puzzled about the comet.
They are not able to exactly locate its
path and a very small error might
bring II so close to us as to cause
alarm. fi8t.s&'
It is believed that if our earth and
the comet we're timed to arrive at the
crossing eight days earlier there would
sure be a collision and while none
should have fear of any casualty the
event will be of such intense interest
that ali other news items will be wholly
obscured. These bulletins will give all
the comet news while the astronomers
will not. They are afraid of soaring
someone.
