Have you seen the comet? This
mysterious visitor makes its rounds
once every seventy-six years. In 1835

rays now. How wouderful is'this great
air ship of the skies. It no sooner
finishes the journey of millions of miles
than it is off again to return on sche
dule time- The days have been when
the appearance of a comet inspired
universal disquietude aud alarm, being
a sure sign oi some calamity or disas
ter. But we have greater knowledge
today and can smile at the ignorance
of our ancestors, although their nature
and the office they perform in the
economy ot our system are as much
unknown as ever. "Great things docth
He past fiudiug out."

Thomas II. Swopo and his nophow,
Ohrlsman, and upon this finding tho
holm ot tho dead millionaire will de
mand an Investigation by tho stato
to ascertain tho causo of tho death
last fall of these two mon. This defi
nite statement was made by a repre
sentative of tho Swopo estate, follow
Jng the recolpt of a partial ropoit of
tho chemists In Chicago.
Tho nolRon, It is stated, wnB found
In tho livers mid not In tho stomachs
ot tho dead men. Whether or not It
was In sufficient quantity to havo
caused death and' was administered
for that purpose, must bo dotermlnod
by ft coroner's Inquest. This Inquest
probably will bo begun tomorrow.
Upon tho verdict returned by this
body will depend tho action of the
county prosecutor.
Chicago, Jan. 31. It traces of itr
senic or strychnlno aro found In tho

WILL DECIDE ON FIGHT ARENA
Place Where Big Battle Is to Be Held
to Be Settled This Week.
Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 31. "This
week It will bo decided definitely
whero tho Jeffries-Johnson fight will
be held," said Sam Berber, Joffrlcs'
manager. "I have nn appointment
with Juck flleason In Seattlo tomor
row. Gleason will then go to Tex
Richard and tho slto will be decided
on. All this talk between promoters
amounts to nothJng. Possibilities of
the Jeffrtes-JohtiBon fight, based on
tho Interest shown, amount to $G0O,
000, Including gate receipts and reve
nue derived from advertisement. It
Is foolish, then, to think Rlcknrd and
Gleason will penult an estrangement.
A positive answar from Governor
Spry Is oxpocted by Rlcl.nrrt this
week. If. he doc-Ides unequivocally
ngn.ln3t tho contest being held In Utah,
the fight will go elsewhere. I bplln;
It will be held In Ok'asnn's nronn."
