Halley's Comet
Soon Plainly Seen
Rev. W. J, Rigge Says There Will Be
No Danger from Tail Of
Sky Wanderer.

Rev. w. ]. Rigge said yesterday at Dun
dee hall that Halley's comet, which Is now
visible through telescopes, will become
visible to the naked eye toward the end of
April and continue so visible until a week
or more after the middle of May OF the
present year, for a time being visible in
daylight.
The orbit of Halley's comet is in the
form Of an elIipse," said Father Rigge, in
an interesting address, and of so vast an
extent is that ellipse that 1t is only visible
to the earth once In seventy-five years.
It's extreme distance from the earth is
thirty times greater than the most distant
planet of our solar system. Yet its habits
are so regular that we can calculate upon
its appearance to almost the day and
minute II is out of sight from earthly OBJ
servation seventy-four out of seventy-five
years. 1t will be visible from the earth
about one month, after the latter part OF
April, and is now visible through small
telescopes. The comet will pass between
the earth and the sun on May 10. There is
much speculation as to the effects of this
near visit of the celestial wanderer and it's
movements will be carefully observed by
the best astronomers OF the wofld. The
tail OF the comet is about 10, OOO,O 600 miles In
iNHsNh ana ABOUT lOO,OOO miles IN thickness,
This tail, which is OF a gaseous nature,
is rarer than any vacuum that we can pro-
duce by artificial methods, so should the
earth pass through it's tan there is nothing
to be afraid of. II is possible that there
may be some magnetic disturbances, but
there is no need OF any alarm over the
effects of this disturbance. IL any at all
occurs.
IN the passage OF the earth through the
tail OF Halley's comet the head Of the comet
win be l2OOO,OO miles away. and so there
is no reason for us to be frightened In the
slightest degree. on March % the comet
viii be nearest the sun and 1t Will be to-
ward the end OF April before 1t is visible
TO the naked eye. II will begin getting
bigger from that time and may be visible
during the day time.
We shall see the comet at its best a
week before and after May 10. The best
time OF all to see it will be on May 20
and n. when 1t will present a magnificent
spectacle and may be visible all day long
in the east ana toward the sun"

AGAINST SYNDICATE BALL
National League Directors Adopt
Resolution Aimed at Evil.
CHANGES IN CONSTITUTION
President Lynch IS Asked to Confer
with President johnson over Plan
90 Eliminate Schedule
DeadIOcks.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-A sparsely at
tended meeting Of directors Of the Ma
tional League Of Base Ball clubs put it
self on record yesterday as opposed to syn
djcate base ball and made some minor
changes in the constitution of the league,
There were present only Garry Hermann
of Cincinnati, who held a proxy for Boston,
Charles w. Murphy of Chicago, John w.
Brush Of New York and Charles A. Eb-
belts of Brooklyn, who held proxies for
Philadelphia and St. Louis. and William
Locke, secretary OF the Pittsburg club,
representing Barney Dreyfus.
The resolution OF disapproval offered by
Mr.. Brush and signed by the others reads:
Resolved. That the league is opposed to
what is denominated as syndicate base
bail, and IL viii not permit q. dual owner
ship, where one club owns or controls an
other club I'm this league.
Owing to this phraseology, observers
pointed out that the resolution does not
prohibit any club owner from holding 40
per cent OF the stock in one club. In short,
the same owner might be a stakeholder in
every club and nominally control but one,
whereas actually a minority holding of 40
per cent, II centered in one person. would
assure control.
Changes In Constitution.
Changes in the constitution were as fol-
lows:
l. That umpires who default their as
Shipments shall be fined one days pay in
stead OF SIP, as previously.
q Jhat q postponed game need not be
played off on the grounds where postpone
ment was made, but II such is not done.

ground"
g. That the, schedule meeting of the league
shau be held annually in New York on
such Il date In February as the president
OF the league may decide. Ten days notice
shall be given to each club.
President Lynch was authorized to con-
fer with President Johnson Of the American
league. to devise a new method of adopting
playing schedules, which shall do away
with such deadlocks as happened this week.
IL was learned today that the board Of
directors in determining last night hat It

About $40, 900 of Mitchells

Motor Car Company has never asked over 81, 900

Yet the materials used in the

manufacture of the Mitchell are the very
finest the world produces-the very same qualities
that are used in the best of the s., 900, the IS, 900
and even higher priced cars. Still. because we have
not followed the lead of others and held our cars at
more money than they are worth, our competitors
are pleased to refer to the Mitchell as "a good cheap
carr If that is the basis of figuring then the whole
calculation of value must be revolutionized. Why,
the Mitchell could be readily sold at t0Oice its regular
list Prees, but what satisfaction would there be in
that to the Mitchell Lewis Motor Comanv? We
know in our hearts that before 1910 is we'll along in

may be, it will accomplish no more than the reg

RIplNe no Hires.

There ought to be some way In
which the general public can be pre-
vented from riding to fires on the
fire apparatus. 1t is absurd to see a
big dray team tugging and lunging
along dragging heavy hook and lad
der truck, literally plastered with men
until it looks like a moving picture
of sheet of stick fly paper in Au-
gust. 1t is not to be expected that a
team will make any time against such
odds. AS q remedy we would suggest
that each fireman be provided with q
red arm band which he could carry
with him and wear in case Of fire az
q means of Identification. No one
without this band should be allowed to
ride. and in fact the number Of fire
men to ride on each truck should be
fixed and the number should not be ex.
ceeded. Should some such method be
adopted much time would be gained
in reaching fires.

wisdom and the fairness o. President

that the appointment was q good one
and one that bespeaks the presidents

DENIsoN,s OPPORTUNITY.

At present Denison has chance to
entertain a number of the prominent
citizens of its neighboring towns to
the west when they go to Boone to
the good roads meeting. These men
will come from Council Bluffs, Mis-
souri, Valley, Logan, Woodbine, Dun
lap, Dow City and Arion, all Of which
cities have extended courtesies to- Den
ison people many times. These men
will be interested in good roads. They
are men who will be seeking to form
an intelligent, permanent organization
for the purpose of maintaining good
road through Denison. It will be their
depreciation to contribute annually for
such purpose. Surely there is nothing
to which the Denison Commercial Club
and DenisOn business men can better
afford to extend a welcoming hand and
generous hospitality.
The business men of Jefferson write
that they will entertain all Corners
for dinner at their best hotel and
that they will send a delegation to Car
roll to meet their visitors. Boone is
enthusiastic and declares that it will
"go the limit" to entertain the good
roadsters from Clinton to Council
Bluffs. Cedar Rapids will send scout
cars east and west and Will entertain
all who will come from Clinton to the
Parlor City.
We have absolute faith that when
Denison fully appreciates the nature of
the good roads pilgrimage, what 1t
will mean for Denison and the county
and what an opportunity 1t will be to
show hospitality to our nearest neigh
bors, there will be no lack Of funds
or of enthusiasm and that our people
will enter into the project with great
est loyalty and zeal.
A committee has been appointed by
the Commercial club, the motorists
have expressed their willingness to
help and every business man should
be interested in proving that Denison
lis not behind hand in generous hos
Ipitality.
The entertainment should include q
banquet, ample provision for the hous-
ing and guarding of visiting cars, an
assurance that there will be q suffici.

DoLLivER DECLINED.

Senator Dolliver has declined With.
out thanks the invitation Of democracy
to be an out and outer and to Join
with that party in name Is wen as in
[fact.
We see no reason for the Senator's
indignation. Nearly every vote he
has cast during this session Of Con-
gress has been cast with the demo-
Gratis. His attacks upon the re.
publican party, the republican pres
ident and the republican leaders
have been much more bitter than
any emanatings from acknowledged
democratic sources. We fear that
Senator Dolliver has had his ear to
the ground SO much that he gotten 1t
full Of dirt. He speaks Of 1.-THE party
Of the future" with evident longing
and the Imp ication that It is the rarity
to which he really belongs. In his pic
|'ture the party Of the future is not
the republican party, he has already
relocated that to the limbos. Thus,
having refused the democratic invita-
ton and, having aband oned the repub-
licans, the insurgents stand as men
without party. pure disrupt onists
and. having absolved themselves Of
party ties they cannot complain If the
party absolves itself Of obligation to
them.

their energies to make their invest
ment good. They found that when a
factory was located it helped real es-
tate prices, and they bought land, laid
out additions, built cottages and sold
them at a good profit. It was not phi
lanthropy, not hotel building, or hos
pitfalls or opera houses or drinking
fountains or garbage cans at the cor
Iner that built Waterloo, it was a
straight business proposition.
There is no intent to look gift
horse in the mouth. We appre.
ciate the advantages which the
generosity of our citizens has made
possible. Denison will never be more
than it is today, however, until the
business men become convinced that it
win PAY to make it a city in fact as
we'll as in name. For our own part
we believe the successful business
men of Denison have enough ability
to make a Denison investment pay If
they set out to do 1t. They have sue
ceeded In other things and there is
no reason to believe that they would
fail in this. The matter with Deni-
son is that our people have regarded
ut as pretty and desirable home. q
thing to be loved and to be treated
with kindly generosity, but they have
not regarded 1t as business PROPOSE
ton, as field for investment, as q
good location for new business enter
prises. And this in spite Of the fact
that every enterprise started in Deni-
son, as a business proposition and
not as public charity. has proven
successful.
Unless we have this faith ourselves
we cannot impress 1t upon others.
II five per cent. of the two million
dollars now on deposit in the banks Of
Denison should be invested in good
live business propositions In Denison,
and these propositions were In the
hands Of men determined to make
them pay for their own sakes, there
would be no question as to the future
of our city. Real estate values would
rise with a bound, rents would increase
and Denison would take it's place as
one Of the real cities Of Iowa.
What we need is not Charity. but
Faith.
