much towards making the second day
of the Central Maine fair hummer
Wednesday. The favorable reports of
the first day caused many to plan to
take in the fair the remaining three
days and the crowd Of Wednesday
was OF goodly proportions. Along IN
the afternoon President Bartlett esti-
mated that about 1000 people We're
on the grounds. Every electric ear
from 3 O'Clock in the forenoon until
we'll along in the afternoon was crowd
ed and by noon there was scarcely
place about the large park but what
was we'll filed. 1t is expected that
the crowd on Thursday will be the
banner one of the four days, as to-
gether with the other attractions,
which are many, the presence of Co..
ernor Plaisted and his staff will bring
quite good many people. Everything
about the grounds was going along

the beautiful exhibits in every line
while of course the midway was we'll
patronized all day long. The various

TANDY IN BAD HUMOR.
Thinks Budget of His Department was
Unduly Sliced.

A neat little package, so cleverly tied
and wrapped that the onlookers didn't
catch its meaning was handed to H. p.
Miller, city commissioner, by w. G.
Tandy, another commissioner, at the
city hall this morning.
1t was an echo of the fight between
Commissioner Miller and Commission
er Tandy last spring when the appoint
ments of city street commissioner was
made, 1t will be remembered that a
man who was antagonistic to Tandy
and who was opposed bitterly by him
was appointed over Tandy's head by
the other commissioners.
Commissioners Tandy and Miller
were arguing on the budget matter this
morning. 1t seems that Mr.. Tandy's
department came in for a, Slashing
slicing of the estimates for the expense
of 1912. Outwardly-and inwardly, toe,
as far as anyone knows-Mr. Tandy
was peeved at the manner in which the
commissioners had whitfield down his
budget and had boosted up their own
departments.
"I want to say this said Tandy to
Miller, IF I am going to have my de
partment run by the other commission
ers in their appointments of officials,
I would like to have a little money to
spend myself for the city work. But L
see that I have been overruled again .
Mr.. Miller simply drummed his pen
ell on the table and said nothing. The
hearers thought silently for several
minutes before the meaning dawned
upon them. Then they filed away and
chuckIed to themselves.

August 10 since 1862, when comet
No. 3 disappeared from view.
Astronomers say this display is due
to comet No. 8 being shattered in 1852.
The fragments of the dissipated orb
were scattered in the form of meteors,
over it's entire orbit, and as the earth
passes through the orbit in the con-
stellation of Perseus, the Illuminated
meteors never fail to make their ap-
pearance on the appointed date. They
are called Perseids.
Two similar meteoric showers are
witnessed usually in the fall. The
Leonides. by far the largest meteoric
group, represent the remains of Tenn
pies comet, and are due to appear
November u. The Andromed es,
which is the smallest group, represent
ing the remains of Biehles comet, are
due to appear November 81

Importance. is the most reliable of he
three groups of meteors in keeping its

From the evidence it appears that
King went to the Neff homo to secure
Earl Neffs waiver of summons in a
suit for divorce contemplated by Mrs.
Neff AS Mrs. Neff had not filed an
action and Neff wanted to know her
grounds for complaint, he refused to
sign the papers and demanded a copy
of the petition. A quarrel ensued and
King says he was attacked by the
three brothers. The North Topeka
lawyer was kicked and beaten and one
of his teeth was loosened. After a
physician had repaired Kings dam
ages, he secured a state warrant for
the arrest of the three brothers.
