other. Unable to right the upturned

joining hands with his wife over the
boat and in this manner they man.

MISS RUSSELL AND THE HALL OF
FAME.

Chicago Tribune: We trust that the
w. G.. T. u. Of Iowa win withdraw It's
protest against the placing Of Miss
Lillian Russeil's portrait in the hall OF
fame OF that state. AS O native daugh-
ter OF the Hawkeye state Miss Rus
sells portrait has been requested by
the curator Of the Historical society,
and she has responded by enga cling an
artist to paint It. Now, however, the
members OF the w. G. r. U. have rails
ed storm Of protest to the society
against the admission of her picture.
sWe cannot imagine what the basis
OF their objection may be. Miss Rus
sells birthplace IL clearly within the
confines Of the state. and although she
did not remain an Iowan in fact, we
are quite certain she is one in spirit.
She has not, II II true, taken sides
either with the standpatters or the in
surgents, but we understand that not
only 10 che persona grata with Sena-
tors DolMver and Cummins, but is al
70 sponsored by that champion Of the
fair SEX, Col. George d. Perkins of tho
Sioux City Journal. So the objections
to her cannot be on political grounds
Miss Russell lived for several years
in Illinois, and we wish to ASSURE Iowa
that we in Chicago are proud OF her,
and II Iowa rejects her as candidate
for the hall Of fame we shall move that
her portrait be hung at Springfield
alongside that Of ex-senator William
e. Mason.

HALLEY's COMET.

Christian Advocates: When Max
VOLTS telescope at Heidelberg picked
up Halley's hairy star on the night of
September 10. the comet was rushing
sunward from the outer darkness of
the solar system between the orbits Of
Mars and Jupiter. On February 4 it
crossed the track Of Mars, and on
March II it will pass within the earth $
orbit. On April 20 it will be at its
nearest point to the sun. On May 10.
at 2 a.. M, 1T will be at its nearest to
earth dwellers. Just now astronomers
locate it among the evening stars
glimmering family. Camille Flanlmar-
Ion, the French observer from whose
writing these facts are gathered says:
I'VE should not expect cometary
spectacle of the first class before the
days which will follow its passage be-
fore the sun, that Is to say, before
May 81, when it will doubtless snow
itself in fiamboyant guise in the pen
umbra Of the twilight. Having again
become an evening star, 1t will doubt
less be very beautiful during the last
ten days Of the month Of May, with
out. however. equaling the comets OF
1858 and Of 1861.
"The most startling fact will be It's
passage before the sun on May IS and
it's meeting with the earth at about
the extremity of the tail That will be
an advent which will be especially IN
teresting to astronomers, but Wnlcn
probably will not be noticed by ordln-
airy mortals unless on account of GER
tain electric or ma ghetto and perhaps
atmospheric phenomena"

oTTUMwA DOING PROUD.

Burlington HRwk-Eye-Ottumwa has
been doing herself proud OF late. She
arranged and held big convention,
which resulted In the appointment OF
strong committees who are to boost
the Improvement Of the Dies Moines
river. And then she reached out and
pulled down the democratic state con.
vention. To be sure, the convention is
not going to be as large gathering
as It was In the days when the free
pass was the rule for delegates, and
everybody could 30 to conventions.
Still she went into the fight against .
number Of other wide-awake towns
and perhaps.to her surprise she Won
out without great difficulty. It II
things like this that give town CON
fldence in herself. No doubt Ottumws
will keep right on and will grow eve,
fonder of doing all sorts Of big
things.

THIS Is MUCH NICER.

The Des Moines Capital was unkind
the other day In it's reference to the
action of the Democratic state central
committee in selecting Ottumwa for
the coming state convention. But the
Capital now makes amends handsome
ly. In an editorial In last nights issue
the Capital said:
The Democratic state convention
has been called to meet at Ottumwa.
We congratulate the enterprtsing city
Of Ottumwa on securing this conven-
ton. Ottumwa is one OF the growing
cities Of the state. 1t will do the dele
gates good TO see the city and In a
corresponding ratio, it will do the city
good to see the delegates. Ottumwa
will take care OF everybody all right.
Rest assured of that. The city Is thor
oughly wide-awake, and is preparing to
be more wide-awake. The Democrats
will be given q cordial welcome. They
will return to their homes having a
good opinion Of the city"
