WHO'LL PROVIDE A
HOME FOR THESE?

We have number of fine brand
new-warranted pianos left yet for
which we must find homes. We're
closing out our local store, and we
want to sell the remaining instru-
ments with the least possible delay
Already many shrewd buyers have
availed themselves of this oportunity
to secure a fine new piano at a rldic-
ulously low price-some have come in
for miles to secure one of these rare
bargains-but some of the choicest
still remain, and we advise you in all
sincerity to come in at once and look
over our stock. If you have any
earthly use for q piano and can pay
us a few dollars down and the bal
lance in very easy monthly payments
this Is OPPORTUNITY spelled in
capital letters. It's better to buy one
now than to wish you had later on.

PROFESSOR POOH POOHS AT
DANGER FROM COMET

Denver, Colo.-Dean w. e. Howe
of Denver university is not worried
over any danger to the earth from
the tail of the comet will miss him in
passing.
I'm the first place" he said, Eve
are not certain that the tail is long
enough to touch the earth. In the
second place, I doubt if the cyanogen
in a cubic mile of the millions of
miles of the comets tail amounts to
n cubic inch. In fact, I don't believe
that if the earth should pass through
Halley's tail the finest Instruments
known to science could detect a trace
of cyanogen in the atmosphere. 1 am
only in fear that the tail will not be
long enough to reach us, for 1 would
very much like to get glimpse of it,
and a chance to make an examination
but there is absolutely no danger to
terrestrial life by any chance combi-
nation of hydrogen and cyanogen."
Professor Lucien I. Blake, noted
Boston scientist who is in Denver,
pooh-poohs at the danger of the
flaming tail of the comet The fact
Is" he said, this fiery tail has tenn
perature of 400 degrees below zero.
The tail is made up chiefly of hydro
carbon gas, and the people of the
earth would scarcely know it if the
tail should hit them. 1t is made up
Of cold gas. sunbeams and electrons.
These electrons, coming in ceaseless,
countless myriads from the sun. strike
with enormous velocity against the
cold gases which constitute the com
cts tail and their innumerable COLI
sions start the waves of pale light
which make the haZy corona, show
ing to us the outlines of the swarm
of diminutive particles which are
pushed by the sunbeams out and away
from the comets nucleus.

DUKE OF ORLEANS WAS
AT THE GATES OF PARIS

Paris.-All Paris is wondering at an
extraordinary story
1t appears to be absolutely certain
that the Duke of Orleans, who was
in Brussels for the funeral of the late
king of the Belgians, crossed the
frontier into France on Chr stmas eve
and would have entered Paris If he
had not been turned back at the gates
of the city.
Details are very difficult to obtain
for neither the authorities nor the
friends Of the pretender to the throne
of France wish for publicity. As far
as can be gathered, however, this Is
what seems to have happened.
Information was received that the
detectives who were keeping an eye
on the Duke in Brussels had lost all
trace of him NJ. Lepin, the prefect
of police learned that the pretender
had left Brussels in an 80-horsepower
motor car.
The prefect informed NJ. BRAND
who is minister of the interior as well
as prime minister-and obtained leave
to prevent the dukes entrance into
Paris by any means short of arrest
Properly speaking, Of course, the duke
who is an exile for life, should not
have been allowed to cross the from
tier into France at all, but it was not
thought that he could do much harm
and the government was anxious t'
avoid a scandal
Therefore large forces of police
were posted at all gates by which th'
dukes motor car could enter ano
when he arrived at one Of them OF
Friday night he was turned back.

ST. DENN|S-HARRAS
CASE WILL NOT DIE
ATTORNEY BAILEY SAYS
IT WILL BE REOPENED
Attorney Peterson Says Last Chapter
Has Been Written-Two Take Diff
fcrent Views of Recent Supreme
Court Decision.

THE famous St Dennis Harras
lease case is ended and is a matter
Of history says Attorney Will NJ.
Peterson who is one of the attorneys
for the st. Dennis heirs.
The famous st. Dennis -Harras
lease case is not ended and will be
renewed" says Attorney Douglass
w Bailey, attorney for Harras and
to whom Harras has assigned the al
legged lease.
The decision OF the supreme court
rendered Nov. 80, 1909, opinion writ
ten by Justice Eakin, coupled with
Tuesdays denial Of Bailey's petition
for a new trial gives the impression to
the laymen that if the case is not al
ready finally settled that it is Just as
good as dead. The opinion by JUS
tice Eakin plainly says that the de-
scription in the alleged lease is not
sufficient to constitute a valid lease
that the land did not belong to St.
Dennis and that he therefore could
not lease it, that the land was allot-
ed and could not therefore be leased
for longer term than than three
years under any consideration and
only then by and with the consent of
the Indian agent that the evidence
tended strongly to show that Harras
had planned to get the land away from
st. Dennis and that he secured the
latter's signature to the lease while
he was intoxicated, and that there is
abundant proof that Harras was not
acting in good faith.
Bailey interprets the decision of
the supreme court as not affecting
the validity of the lease but only as
deciding that the case was not a pro-
per one for an equity suit. He says
that his next move will therefore be
10 bring an action at law, but in view
Of the option cited above it looks as
though there could be but one result
and that the declaring null and void

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the
birth Of Abraham Lincoln and for
the first time in several years the day

less Of an observance Of the day. but
this is the first time that anything

made to f.ttingly observe the event
The observance will be at the free
public library and while it will be pri-
marily for the benefit Of the children
and young people of the city. older
ones are invited to participate 1t is

much in evidence. The latter will oc-

Sting Out of war Mines.

Paris.-An important invention al
fcctine warfare is recorded to the
credit of Professor Turpin, the IN
ventor of melinite, the explosive
mainly used by the French army and
navy.
By his method floating mines may
be automatically rendered harmless
when trc- accidentally break away
from their moorings.
This invention is likely to be of the
greatest value in preventing dlsas-
