BRIGHT COMET SEEN.
New One Appears at Shutdown in
Western Horizon.

If you Will cast your eyes across the
heavens tonight at shutdown it is pos
sible that you will see "a bright nebu-
lous growth over the southwest corner
of the sky At least such a phe-
nomenon was visible last night, and
gave rise to much extravagant discus
sion. According to Professor H. 1.
Woods of Washburn college, it is De
Rake's comet, appearing for the first
time since that gentleman discovered it
When the comet, which was first seen
in South Africa several days ago, WAS
seen here last night, most of the
amateur astronomers were inclined to
baptize it Halley's protege which is
due to become visible, March 20. Some
contended that it had TAIL and 9TH
ers that it did not, still all were
agreed upon one thing. That was that
the visitor was just beneath the even
ing star and disappeared about $50
o'clock.
notwithstanding everything else the
unscientif1c stuck to the belief that
schedule. Then Professor Ephriam Mill
er of the University of Kansas an
nounced over the telephone that there
was not a chance in the world that
Halley's comet would become sportive,
its pace has always been such a steady
one, with an even clip of about 1873
miles a minute ever since 248 B. c.
On account of the incomplete data on
the comet it is not known whether or
not it is a periodic or a new body. So
far as known last night is the first
time that it has been visible in To-
peka. The position of this stellar body
is such as to be seen during the day,
but for one thing-owing to it's nearness
to the sun the naked eye cannot get
focus on it.

WHAT DID STUBS MEAN?
His Tax Figures Were Evidently
Juggled.

In his account of his years steward
ship as the head of the state admins
tration Governor Stubs made the fol-
lowing statement in the Sunday morn
Ing papers:
THE facts are that this adrninistra-
ton has used more than one-half mil
lion dollars less state taxes during the
past year C909) than was used during
the previous calendar year" Q9OS).
A half million dollars Is a big saving
in state expenses. And the statement
Of the governor of a state that this
saving was made carries weight indis-
Tutable Yet the figures showing the
states disbursements for 1908 and 1909
as taken from the books of the state
treasurer and state auditor show the
following startling contrast with the
governors statement:

4 FEW REPRIMANDS
ISSUED BY BOARD
Liquor Commissioners Tell Some

Family to Behave.

y short meeting Of the board OF
liquor license commissioners was held
yesterday afternoon to hand out sev-
erai reprimands and pass on several ap-
plications for licenses which had been
left over from the previous meetings
Tom McIighe, the Irish Consul" was
one Of those who were on the carpet,
c. BoIlman OF the Royal Annex being
another.
The former had permitted a little
three-year-Old child on the premises of
the Progress Saloon while her father
purchased liquor which is violation
Of the board rules prohibiting minors
in saloons. The offense in this case
was aggravated in the eyes of the
board by the fact that a man under the
influence Of liquor was on the premises
at the same time. McTighe, as well as
Bollman, who was accompanied on the
carpet by his baTkeeper for permitting
d" drunks' on the premises, were told
that it would 90 hard with them if
they duplicated their otfense.
The application of Murikami, the
proprietor of the Azuma, a well-known

in the police court for selling liquor
without a license and the height of the
fines on that occasion convinced him
that it would be better policy to sell
it with license.

DAY .DO|NCs ON
STOCK EXCHANGE

Not only was there a steady market
on the stock exchange yesterday, but
there were indications of more con
fidence and the tone was more optimis-
tic, especially in the medium priced
stocks. Thus with Eva, the last sale
was at q, and though 26.75 was bid
yesterday there was none to be had at
the price. Also with Paauhau, the last
sale was registered at 1870, but al
though the bid yesterday was 1850,
the stock was held firmly at 1915.
In the higher-priCed stocks, although
the bidding recently has for the most
part been considerably lower than the
records of the last sales made little of
this class Of shares have been disposed
of and the holders are generally hold
ing it steady at the higher prices One
instance of this is the Hawaiian Agri-
cultural stock, which was last sold at
215. while 200 only was bid yesterday,
yet it is now held at 225. Only 100
was bid per share for the Pioneer Mill
yesterday, but there We're no sales, the
stock being held at the price of the
last former sale, 10; and thus down
the line.
Altogether the steadier market is
looked upon as an encouraging sign,
while the announcement of the usual
dividends on the exchange is believed
to be responsible for the more opti-
mstic feeling.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
DECLARE THEMSELVES

| BERLIN. November 26.-The Reich
stag debated today a Socialist inter
| pellation on the Kaiser's famous divine
right speech at Koenigsberg on August
p. In this address the Kaiser arrogat-
ed to himself the office of a divine dele
gate, and in that character avowed his
determination to rule in his own way
regardless Of the views or opinions of
the hour.
On the whole the events of the day
denote victory for the Kaiser and
arouse the press or popular enthusiasm
against the monarch on account of the
speech. TO certain extent also it es-
tablished the fact that the largest pro-
portion of the national representatives
are still strong supporters of the mon
archie system and are willing to accept,
although perhaps with some reluctance,
the doctrine of divine right claimed by
the Kaiser. At the same time if they
accept this claim they do 50 on his
JtI iCdl SlbuHdS anu WIFI Tue pItNlSU
that the Kaiser shall not employ it to
override or modify the constitution.
Herr Ledebour, the Socialist leader
opened the discussion. He charged the
Kaiser with breaking the promise
which he solemnIy gave the nation in
November, 1905, when, after the ma
tionaI agitation caused by the inter
view with him published in the Londo4
Telegraph, he announced through TIE
imperial chancellor that he had become
convinced that the greatest reserve en-
the part of the crown was indispensable
to the interests of German policy.
Herr Ledebour declared that the
Kaiser was hereditarily afflicted with
the same Illusions which destroyed the
Stuarts and the Bourbons and he warn
ed the sovereign that the HohenzolIerns
were heading in the same direction.
The Socialist leader concluded with
the defiant assertion that the German
Social Democracy avowedly aspires TO
establish a republic and viii bend all
its efforts to that end. This statement
was greeted with prolonged Socialist
cheers.
DR.. Won Bethmann HoIIweg, the i'm
perial chancellor, responded on behalf
of the government. lie declared that
never before had the Social Democracy
of Germany so openly unmasked its
revolutionary objects. Here the speak
er was interrupted by Socialist cries OF
els that anything new?''
To this the chancellor replied: No.
