One of those long-tailed comets,
which has travelled about in the firm
ament some billion-odd years, more
or less, without falling victim to the
gaze of earth's astronomers until last
Monday, will be the object of study
by Professor F. P. Leavenworth,
head of the department of astronomy
of the university, this week. The
newly discovered body has been
named the Metcalf comet. Professor
Leavenworth says that he has not
yet made the personal acquaintance
of the latest known addition to the
family of heavenly bodies, but that
he expects to catch a glimpse of the
stranger soon, possibly tomorrow
night. ..s
"The new comet" said Professor
Leavenworth, sis still low in the hori-
zon, and is in the best position to
be viewed here in the early morn
ing"
kilograms he has received from
astronomers who have been observ,
ing the comet, Professor Leaven
worth said, are that it was discov
cred last Monday by Rev. Joel Met
calf while at work in the laboratory
at South Hero, VT Professor Edwin
b. Frost, director of Yerkes observa
| tory, Williams Bay, Wis, observed
the comet after receiving information
| as To it's location from the Vermont
observatory.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er states that number of Des
Moines men have suddenly become
very rich on account of the discovery
of large quantities of iron ore on a
tract of land purchased by them near
Duluth. The men bought the land for
a song, so the report runs, and the
men who did the selling did not be-
lieve that there was iron on the land.
Prospecting proved unsuccessful I'M
til some rabbit tracks were traced to
a hole in the bank of a creek.
The tracks were followed because
of the brown iron stains left in the
snow by the bunnie's wet feet. Ow-
ing of this, iron ore to the extent of
about $200,000,000 is estimated to be
lying underneath the sod, and John
G.. Gerlich of this city is becoming
interested because he has 800 acres
in the same township and adjoining
the tract where the iron was discov-
cred On his land he has about
100000 feet of good timber, and if
the iron extends to this land, Mr..
Gerlich will probably be numbered
among the -four hundred"

According to reports from number
of local sportsmen, the hunting sea-
son opened very briskly yesterday,
and today there are a large number
of ducks and prairie chickens tnat
have lost their heads and their plum
age because of the deadly aim of the
hunters. Chief of Police Eli Klugherz
and his three sons, Ben, Lewis and
Hubert spent yesterday at Duck Lake,
where they enjoyed themselves to the
fullest extent. The teal were very
plentiful and the limit of twenty-five
birds apiece was bagged.
Henry Theissen, C. H. Saulpaugh,
John A. Lulsdorff and Ole Gagen
hunted at Swan Lake, and although
they did not shoot the limit, they
spent a very enjoyable day and got
all the fowls they wanted c. i.
Benedict, Frank Pohl, John Pohl,
George Grabowinski and A. Mueller
hunted at Rice Lake, and the shells
were all gone, and the limit killed
by 6:15 yesterday morning.
George He'll and Henry Jesse, bet
ter known as "Chink," made Belgrade
township roar in their successful quest
of prairie crckens. "Chinks'" weapon
was more than usually thunderous as
it is an eight gauge and plows
hole in the ozone about the size of
Wind Cave, Kentucky, but Mr.. Heips
explosions offset the thunder of his
partner, with a dainty little twenty
gauge gun. Gus Kleinschmidt and
family spent yesterday at Lake Bal
lentvne and were very successful in
duck shooting.

the lake.
Mr.. Pioske proved to be a five

got anything on him. He dove for
guns in fourteen feet of water and
brought them to the surface, righted
the craft and set sail for home as II
nothing at all had happened The

A Joint meeting of Mayor A. G.
Meyers electric light rate committee
and the committee appointed some
weeks ago by the Commercial club
was to have been held this morning
for the purpose of formulating re-
port to submit to the city council,
but not members enough of either
committee were in the city to make
the session worth while.
Mayor Meyer, Lorin Cray, A. M.
Stein and J. R. Brandrup held
short session, but it was decided not
to make any report to the council,
this morning and as consequence
the council will meet in special ses-
sion tomorrow morning with the hope
that the committee will have some
thing to offer.
1t is understood that the committee
from the Commercial club favors a
recommendation that will move the
council to employ an engineer who
can furnish the city with figures that
will show the cost of building and
maintaining an electric light plant.
1t is said that members of the may
or's committee are not favorable to
this proposition. In other words, the
mayors committee would not object
to letting the matter rest for the
present. 1t is rumored that each
committee has a report and which
one to adopt is the point at issue.
