SCIENTIST DESCRIBES
Comet Seen in CITY
PROMINENT AUTHORITY SAYS
THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS A
STRANGER.
Som Astronomers Still Claim It is
HaIey's Comet Which Has Been Ab-
sent for rs Years.

A comet has been visible low down
in the western skies just after sun
set for a short time. Several nights
last week the path Of the celestial
visitor was plainly seen little south
Of west. The light from the traveller
is not bright but is visible for eight
or ten minutes.
>---Ehe telescopes of astronomers are
following this wanderer and Professor
Frost of the Yerkes Observatory says
that the comet is a most beautiful
sight as seen through the Zig instru
ment. The Chicago Tribune notes
that this new comet was recently dis
covered by observers at Johannes
burg, South Africa, and later observed
in Italy, france, Texas, New Mexico
and Oklahoma.
Seen through the 4O-inch telescope
at Williams Bay, Wis.,, Prof. Frost
describes the comet as steadily grow
ing more brilliant. No one should
miss an opportunity to see it. 1t Is
described as visible about an hour
and a half, higher than the sun and
about ten degrees north Of it.
Its head looks like a bright yellow
star of the first magnitude and its
tail appeared to be about S degrees
in length.
1--WE have been ,nable to identify
the comet because Of the lack Of pos
tive measurements of its orbit. My
present opinion Is that it never be-
fore has been observed" said Prof
Frost.
THE comet appears to be moving
northwest" said Prof, s. B. Burnham
who returned from Williams Bay.
1T is getting higher and brighter
and within the next two or three days
it will be possible to make definite
measurements OF it's orbit. Until this
is done it will be impossible to tell
whether it ever has been observed
before or Is a new conner"
Other astronomers claim 1t is Hal
ley's comet, which is expected to be
nearest the earth in April, after an
absence of seventy-five years.

JUDGE CORLISS IS
TO SPEAK IN CITY
WILL LECTURE ON MACBETH At
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
FEBRUARY 1.
Proceeds Will Go to the Y. N. A.
Gymnasium Boys and Girls Will Be
Around With Tickets.

Judge Guy c. H. Corliss of Grand
Forks, one of the most distinguished
lawyers in the state will be in Bis
marck Jan. 31st and Feb. LIST, when
he argues several important cases
his stay he will lecture on Macbeth
at the Presbyterian church, the
night of February LIST, in behalf of
the Young Mems Association.
1t is said of Judge Corliss that he
never fails in any speech or CONVEX
sation, however brief, to quote from
Shakespeare. One of his greatest
lectures on the dramatist is Macbeth.
These are the reasons, some OF
them at least, why everyone should
attend.
They will have the opportunity of
listening to an able and distinguish
ed speaker.
They will hear discussed one of the
greatest dramas in all literature.
They will help a local organiza'
ton, the. Young Mems Association
in the splendid work which it is
doing for the youth of our city.
Judge Corliss has donated his SER
vices. There will be no rental for
the church; only light and heat will
be charged. The Tribune has given
free Of charge advertising space. In
this way the net proceeds will be
almost equal to the gross receipts.
Therefore, buy a punch of tickets.
When the Gymnasium boys and girls
come around greet them with a
smile, and again, we say, buy a
bunch.

TRADE REPORTS
ARE IRREGULAR
In Spite of Bad Weather Dis
tribution Keeps Up Well
TRADE rs SLOW
Most Industries Are Active But Con-
seryatism In Placing Orders Is
Noted in Several Lines of
Wholesale Business
RETAIL TRADE Is SLOW

New York, February 25.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
TRADE reports are rather moro Irregular
Stormy cold weather over wide areas OF
country have apparently retarded the ex-
pansion of spring jobbing trade, but new
ertheless distribution has kept up we'll
in advance of last year, in TACT, ana as
tinct gains in the volume of house trade
are reported at many points. Retail trade
has been restricted, and this, in turn,
operates against recorder trade in spring
goods with jobbers. Industry continues
active. but there is rather more evidence
of friction In some lines, particularly in
railroad labor. Strikes of street car
hands at Philadelphia checked trade early
in the week. Collections arc about fair.
Conservatism in placing orders is still
the keynote of wholesale trade In several
lines. Especially marked in this direction
is the cotton goods market because Of the
lowered rate of raw materials, prices have
been rendered irregular Unsatisfactory
margins of profit is the cause assigned
for the announcement that print cloth
mills at Fall River will reduce running
time ere day per week. Gray cottons are
more readily obtained at concessions, and
this feature is on the whole regarded as
a favorable one, though tending momen-
tarily to restrict operations for future
dates.
Indictment weather has helped trade in
heavy shoes and rubbers, and these lines
are busily employed. Some kind OF I'M
ished non and steel, such as structural
and some products, are rather more ac-
tive. Pig iron at the north Is rather quiet
but with more inquiry, indicating the ex-
istenoe of some business to be placed
but southern iron is reported Offering at
concessions In northern markets.
Business failures in the United states
fer The week ending with February "a
were 254, against 269 last week and 244 in
the Ike week of 1909.

HOW GOVERNMENT CAN
PURCHASE SUPPLIES

Washington, February 25.-Notwith-
standing the inhibition contained in re-
cent circular order of the Secretary of
War against purchases on behalf of the
war department from persons or corpora
lions that have been adjudged parties to
an unlawful trust, purchases of goods pro-
duced by such persons and corporations
may be made from those who bona fide
and in their own right have acquired the
title to the same and who are not mid
dlemen or agents of such persons or COR
porations.
The statement is made at the war de-
partment that under this ruling purchases
of coal oil. for instance, may be made
from a private individual or firm in
corporated or otherwise, where these
have purchased the oil on their own ac-
count from the corporation declared to
be an unlawful trust.

Dun's Weekly Review

New York, February 5.-R. q. Dunn q
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Business conditions vary so widely in
one section from another, and in one
trade from another, that generalization
broad enough for the situation as whole
is difficult. Yet, making due allowance
for the effect o. the severe weather in GER
tain parts of the country, for the infiu-
ence upon financial confidence of political
uncertainties, and for the consequences
of speculative reaction, it appears that
the volume of trade continues very large,
and :he outlook for the spring is in no
small 6egree better than it was two weeks
ago.
Insofar as the volume of new bust
ness is concerned, conditions in iron and
steel are not greatly changed, yet senti-
ment regarding the outlook is unmistak-
ably improved.
Some districts report little more activ-
itv in pig iron, although in others, and es-
pec;aily at the south, where prices show
weakness, the situation remains unsatis-
factory.
Actual orders recently placed show ex-
pansion, and one prospective contract
alone will call for 10000 tons of bridge
work. In the rail division numerous sub
stantiai sales have been made, while roll
ing stock is being purchased with more
freedom.
Business is not alone confined to domes-
tic requirements, demand from foreign
sources resulting in the booking of orders
for $1,000 tons of steel rails last week and
conditions abroad are regarded as ex-
celent.
There is greater inquiry for farm imple-
ments and machinery than usual at this
season. and wire products continue to
make a good showing.
Jobhers of dry goods are doing very
fair trade. and they IRE not duplicating as
was 1oted In the primary markets for adj
d.tional spring merchandise, and these
rule generally quiet Staple prints were
advanced Nc yard and the leading line
of fall hannelettes has been sold up for
fail and withdrawn.
Export trade In cotton goods is light,
save in staple prints. Cotton yarns are
weak and tending lower. An irregular
volume of ordering is noted in woolens
and worsteds. and cotton goods have
again been adversely Influenced by an
other wide fiuctuation in the price of the
staple.
There is a lack Of new business of ac-
count in footwear and buyers generally
believe that prices will decline. Further
weakness has developed in hides and sales
OF packers have been made at sharp de-
clines.
