ENcKE'S COMET is DUE

Astronomer all over the world are
on the look out for Encke's comet,
which is due to make it's appearance
this month. probably this week. This
celestial traveller is of modest dimen-
sions, but has many points of inter
est for the observer. Encke's comet
travels on an orbit which takes it
three and a third years to reyolve
about the sun. 1t is never bright
enough to attract popular attention,
but when fayorably placed it may be
seen through an opera glass.
Encke's is a member of Jupiter's
family of comets and it was at one
time thought, by reason of its di-
minishing periods of revolution, to
be affected by some resisting medium
in space. Astronomers are not at
all satisfied that this is the true ex-
PLANTATION of the comets eccentri-
cities, and it's coming appearance
may afford opportunity to settle the
question.

THE BEST STATE FAIR

Enough is now assured in the way
of exhibits to warrant the promise

their usual generous abundance, Wis

A gentleman day OF so ago who
has given many years to the study OF
national questions said that in his
opinion the government might much
better be turning the waters OF the
big rivers into the dry states than
digging the Panama canal. Help our
own country first. The Panama canal
has cost millions of dollars, which
may be all right, but the same amount
of money expended in getting the
waters of our big rivers, that are now
running to the ocean where they are
now needed, distributed over our arid
,iss1lds would do the people many
more good. And in this time of drouth
there are few but would think he is

Orders have been given by the czar
