STUDY COMET; ASKS CASH.
Amateur Astronomer Petitions Con-
gress to Give Him $1,000

Washington, D. c., Jan. 16.-To en-
able him to collect a series of photo
graphs and make a study of HALEY s
comet, which he first saw when he
was baby in his mothers arms, .
Frederick Hess of Pascagoula, Miss,
has petitioned congress to appropri-
ate $4,000. He claims to have been
employed by a railroad of which Pres
ident Roosevelt's father was a direct
or at the time he acquired title to a
part of Round island, in Pascagoula
bay.
Your petitioner, writes Hess,
whose self-acquainted knowledge OF
astronomy and means of information
are limited, is specially interested in
the pending return of this comet, be-
cause, according to his mothers story,
one early morning in October, 1885,
when a 10-month-old baby i'll his
mothers arms. she was greatly
frightened by a sudden. unexpected
sight of the comet just rising over the
roof of his native place at Armstadt,
Germany. Afterward his mother often
told him that his baby eyes noticed
it also and that he nearly jumped out
of her arms trying to reach up for 1t
and catch it with his baby hands
Hess says he wants to devote his
time during 1909 and 1910 to making
photographs and observing the comet.

FROM PEORIA.

Peoria, H., Jan. 1.-two extra
freights on the Northwestern collided
head on last evening near Limestone,
four miles northwest of this city.
Three trainmen were Instantly killed,

and each was going at full speed.
The north bound extra was III
charge of Conductor W. G. Donichy,
and the south bound in charge OF
Conductor j. Schaffer. Owing to the
darkness and a fitful fall OF snow the
engineers could not see each other
