Comets are by far the most enis-
matte of heavenly bodies. Their orr
gin, their chemical composition. the
phenomena which they present are
all more or less astronomical riddles.
To say that a comet IL composed OF
q core or nucleus, a coma or envelope
surrounding the nucleus, and a lufni-
nous tall. Is merely TO describe the
physical appearance OF a comet. Why
Is there an envelope or a tail, what is
the comet composed Of why does It
change from day to day and some
times from hour TO hour, are ques-
tons that can be answered only IN a
more or less perfunctory way.
tssy- rHr rnE YHUgf important or come
tsry problems are presented by that
krisking tail. which popularity at least,
is supposed to distinguish comets from
other heavenly bodies. and whose va
carries were told about yesterday.
It seems to be fairly agreed that the
core OF a comet Is composed OF gran
uiar matter. which. when subjected
to the intense heat of the sun, emits
g. tail. The tenuous matter compos-
ing the tail must therefore be perma-
nently lost from the body. from which
1t emantes; but no astronomer has
ventured to imagine what becomes
OF It. Moreover, the curious way in
which comets tail always points
away from the sun offers still another
astronomical puzzle.
The pressure OF light, as explained
yesterday has been invoked to eE-
plain that strange circumstances, and
probably correctly. But the study of
such strange bodies as Brooks comet
of 1899, Borreliy's comet OF 1903,
and above all Warehouses; comet of
1903. has revealed phenomena so
startling that electrical forces must
be presumed, forces to which we nov,
attribute our magnetic storms and au-

candidates this fall Their message,
which Is being published in the papers
of the district, says that the coming
legislature will have upon its hands the
task Of electing the success to Sena-

republican candidate in the state, who
is out for legislature, must be elected
without fall. The letter also states
that the prosperity under the present
administration deserves the casting Of
votes in the support of the administra-

Supreme Court Decision Final.

Dubuque, Oct. 27.-What is prob
ably the last chapter in the legal pro-
ceedings that grew out of the water
works scandal in Dubuque was writ
ten by the supreme court when the
decision in the case of the Martini
Strelau Company against the city of
Dubuque was affirmed.
The judgment was in favor of the
coal and wood firm of Martin Strelau,
who sued the city of Dubuque for s42,-
900. alleged to be due for coal pur-
chased by the old trustees of the muni-
cipally-owned waterworks. Judgment
was given for the full amount. This
was at the May term of the district
court in 1905 From this verdict an
appeal was taken.
How Incurred.
The city of Dubuque took over the
then privately owned city waterworks
plant in 1900, paying the large sum of
S545,0O0. For some years the affairs of
tie plant ran compare lively smoothly
Along in 1906 trouble began to develop
The trustees made regular quarterly
reports. always showing a balance on
the right side of the ledger, but it de-
veloped later that this was made pos
sible by recourse to certain tricks IA
miliar to every bookkeeper. If the cash
on hand was not up to standard it was
always explained by large improve
ments, uncollected accounts. etc.
Truth Comes Out.
Finally it leaked out that coal bill
of large proportions was owing. This
account, which had been covered up for
some time. was first announced as
$4,000. Ii afterwards grew as the

Des Moines, Oct. 27.-The supreme
court closed its October session late
yesterday and turned over batch of
final decisions. The next session will
be IN November
The most important case decided
last evening was one affecting the
right of the Iowa Loan and Trust
Company To refuse to show its books
or an order Of the district court. This
big company was attacked by the tax
ferrets, who insisted that the owners
of depenture bonds living i'll Iowa
should be assessed the value of the
bonds The company pleaded that as
these bonds are in fact in the hands OF
trustees for the benefit Of the owners
it was nohodys business who the own
ers are or where they live. and the
company upon this theory refused to
obey an order OF the district court to
show its books Now the supreme
court says, in effect. that the court was

mand for a show of the books. AS to
whether or not the bonds would be

question.

ed plant operated needed revision be-
fore the third could be forced out. The
law was revised thru the efforts of the
Municipal League. The third trustee
quit and when the new board was ap-
pointed 1t, in compliance with the re-

without remuneration. The plant from
that time on has been run on a busi-

every viewpoint.
There are still other claims against
the city of the same general nature,
which have been awaiting the decision
of the coal case and which, it is pre-
