.DR. HYDE MAY GET ] ANOTHER TRIAL

Helena, Mont, November 24.-If Dr. B. c. Hyde is awarded a new trial 1t will probably be because Joe Edgerton, a prominent Helena mining man. and mem ber of the last legislative assembly, saw Hyde's name in the directory of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. MT. Edgerton told the Associated Press the story of how he sent Hyde box of cyanide esti- mated at two pounds and how over F years later he came to let Hyde's attor- neys know of this fact.
 Edgertons statement Is considered of great importance to Hyde fin view of the fact that the latter during his trial could not explain to the satisfaction of the \ jury where he had procured cyanide which he admitted he had been using for many years.
 Edgertons statement was in part:
 'In April or May. 1893, after having lost my health in Montana, I was on a crowded train between Cherryvale and Kansas City My room-mate was a young man whom it afterwards developed was Hyde. I was just able to be about and our talk naturally hinged about my ill., <<,ess and from that we got to talking about cyanide. Hyde appeared to be interested in cyanide and as I had been using the stuff in mining operations, I promised to send him some.
 Tn July of that year. when I was at Hill City, S. D., I filled a chalk box with cyanide and and mailed It to Hyde. wrote him a note on the letter head of q banking house, and explained that l had sent the stuff.
 Desiring to avoid publicity, I could not make up my mind to let Hyde know that I recalled the incident.
 "About six weeks ago while examining q college fraternity directory I found the name of the Kansas City doctor and then 1t was that wrote him in care of his attorney and recalled the incident of having sent him the cyanide IT years ago"
 Mr Edgerton has heard nothing from his letter, aside from the story Of the D Associated Press which was shown him.

Fifteen years of un- disputed po>sr has made the republican party reckless, extravagant and deaf to all pleas for economy. Expenses have piled up year after year with little justi- fcation We ought to investigate every department and see how things have been going. Graft and extravaganza must be exposed.

HaIley'S Comet Now Visible.

Washington, April l0.-Hal- ley'S comet was seen here today for the first time, those favored with this primary view being Prof. Asa P. Hall of the Naval Obfervatory and his assistant. It was about 4:30 o'clock in the morning, when through the big 26-lnch telescope they obtained sight of the wanderer of the heavens. For about 15 minutes the comet remained visible.
 In about three weeks when the comet will be visible to the naked eye it will rise two hours and forty minutes before the sun. Today it came up an hour ahead of the great luminary.
 The comet will be visible for a longer period each day, al. though those who wish to see it will be obliged to rise early.
 Popular apprehensions regard. !. ing harm to the earth and it's in habitants during the visit of the comet to this portion of the universe are unfounded. In a statement issued tonight Willis l.. Moore of the Weather Bureau says that collision between the earth and the comet would be possible, owing to the safety margin of some 13,000,000 miles between the earth and the comet.

 During the picture taking the fawn gazed steadily at the photographer and his camera, but gave no indication of being afraid On returning to his home MT. Rogers took the little ami nal back to the meadow and in short time it was joined by the doe
