A VERY BRILLIANT
HEAVENLY VISITOR
New Comet in Eastern Sky Said to
be Planet venu. BY Marshall
town Paper.

Inc comet meutlOueu III tAO9O
columns a few days ago. according
to an article published in recent
issue Of the Marshalltown Times
Republican, is the planet Venus.
However, there seems to be soma
disagreement over this view. We
notice by the papers that at least
one or two astronomers claim this
brilliant heavenly visitor is new
comet-its coming having not been
heralded being due to the fact that
1t is an entirely new visitor. The
authorities along this line will have
to determine which is the correct
view OF the matter.
The article referred to in the
Marshalltown paper is an interest
ing one. It follows:
Those who have had occasion to
be out Of doors during late hours OF
recent clear nights have seen, II
they looked, one Of the most beausi-
full sights the sky ever presents to
view. II Is the planet Venus, the
morning star, and its beauty is well
worth getting up at the unseemly
hour OF 4 o'clock to see.
Immense in size, and in brilliancy
far surprising any of the planets or
stars in the heavens just now, Its
light is only second to the moon It.
self, which will be seen in the sky
at the same time. In fact the light
1t throws is probably powerful
enough to cast a shadow. Its bril-
liancy is such that 1t appears ia
wsver and CULVER in the air.
It was this same star that. ascend
ing one morning recently. was seen
over hill near Steamboat Rock by
AN Iowa Central passenger engineer
To him It appeared to be following
the train. Because Of its brilliancy
he was positive 1t was the light OF
some aerial craft, and due partly tc
the movement Of his train, he
thought It was following the rail
road track. He kept 1t In sight un.
til he reached the Minnesota state
line, then lost It In the fog Of the
Shell Rock River valley going into
Gordonsville. On his next trip he
saw 1t first at about the same place
then he became convinced it was 9
star"
Venus just now is the morning
star. It rises between 8 and 4
o'clock in the morning little south
OF due east and remains visible un'
til daylight It reached its greatest
brilliancy Sunday morning. It will
grow DINNER night by night unit
It finally disappears.
In the meantime those who love
the beautiful will not be the loser.
II they set their alarm clocks fol
about 1880 some clear night.

COUNCILMAN ESsIG
REPORTS GOOD TIME
Attended Big State Meeting Il Dav-
export Examines Some
Concrete Paving.

Councilman John Essig, who attend
ed the convention Of the League Of
Iowa Municipalities at Davenport
during three days last week. reports
an interesting time. Councilman
Hahne had made all arrangements
to be present at the meeting, but
had to give 1t up at the last minute.
This meeting was the fourteenth
convention Of the kind held In this
state and 1t had the largest attend
ance Of any OF the previous gather
ings, there being present represent
tatives from two hundred and six
cities In the state.
While there those who we're In
terested in street pavement were es-
corted by the entertainment COM
niittee to the town OF Bettondorf, a
suburb of Davenport. At this place
they are using concrete for paving
purposes and at the time Of the Wis
1t Of the delegation they were lay
ing some Of 1t. The material used
there is different from the concrete
generally used, inasmuch as but one
operation OF mixture is used, in
stead OF two. This difference In the
amount OF labor makes the paving
much cheaper and though the street.
after ftShas been used for some time,
is some rougher than the concrete
made with two operations in tho
mixing, It is said to be Just as sub
stantial. While at this town the
gentlemen were shown through the
Immense steel car, works there. This
factory. though 1t has been In oper-
alton but four years. employees about
two thousand two hundred people
and the buildings are about a mile
in length.
In the city Of Davenport most Of
the pavement Is Of brick, and Mr..
Essig. in speaking Of the streets in
that city. remarked that while Dew
elport has several miles more Of
paving than Webster City. the quail
ity here is far superior to that in
that place.

LARGE AND ENTnUs,
lAsTIC GATHERING.
Local Lady Attends State conven-
. ton at Shenandoah and Re
ports Big Time.

gathering in years OF the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was
the state convention, October 18th
to goth inclusive. at Shenandoah.
Many national and state oHRcers
were present and never was the
union accorded more royal enter
tainment than by Shenandoah, a
city about the size Of our own, at
this thirty-eighth annual state con-
yention. A large street banner as
sured the arriving guests Of their
welcome" and representatives from
nearly every organization IN the
city addressed the convention with
words of hearty greeting, lromi-
nent among these being Elk Senator
Jameson Of Shenandoah. Music was
furnished by both band and orches-
ira and the best musical talent OF
the city took part in the convention
programs.
The sessions were held in the
First Baptist church which was dec
Grated with the national colOrs, red.
white, and blue, with the woman's
suffrage colors, yellow and white.
and with an abundance of beauti-
full chrysanthemums, roses. potted
plants, and various other cut fow-
iers from the two greenhouses Of the
city The ladies Of the Methodist
Episcopal church served meals to
the delegates in their new $4,000
building.
Our state led in w. c. T. U. work,
the first state organization being
Iowa's effected in 1868 at Cedar
Rapids, and this thirty-eighth con-
vention was evidence that her In
terest has not waned. The same
state officers were reelected with the
exception OF Mrs. Mamie B. Howe
Of Des Moines, who has been treas
urer for twenty years and now re-
tires. Her successor is Mrs. Lucille
Shaded Of Shenandoah. Ten dele
gates were elected to the national
meeting to be held in Milwaukee
which opens october 9th to con-
tinue three days. The thank-offei
ing of the state this year reached
between $500 and $500 and over
one hundred ladies We're made life
members Of the w. C. T. U. The
grand gold medal contest Thursday
evening was an interesting feature
Of the program. It was Of great ed
vocational value as every speech
was temperance lecture from some
prominent author.
The automobile parade Friday at
ternoon, after the adjournment Of
the convention, made evident the
enthusiastic interest in the w. C. r.
L. and its purpose and was an ex-
ample Of the cordial hospitality Of
the city of Shenandoah. Fifty-two
autos provided seats for every Wis
iting delegate. AS they passed the
two greenhouses they were literally
showered with roses and beautiful
flowers of all descriptions.
Mrs. Will F. Smith was a delegate
from the local union to this conven-
ton.

John Carey, the Hamilton town
ship farmer, returned home from
Holstein, Ida county, few days
ago, where he had been on business.
He says land in Ida county, which
does not compare In fertility with
land In this county, is much higher
In price than here. No improved
farm in the vicinity OF Holstein can
be bought for less than SITS per
acre. Holstein is about one hundred
miles west of Webster City. Hamil-
ton county people who think land
Is bringing too much in this part OF
Iowa may change their mind next
year, when 1t reaches the point here
now reached in less favored por-
lions of the state.
