Easter Picnic.
Miss Bettie Lyon, of Calumet
Michigan was the guest of honor
at a picnic which was held in the
woods southeast of town Sunday.
Those who made tip the jolly
crowd were E. D. Gudgol and
family, Lewis Henry, wife and
daughter, John Mitchell and fam-
ily and Miss Maggie C irdon,
Mrs. Willis P. Thomas, of Wil-
burton and Mrs. .T. II. Edwards,
of Dollar Bay, Michigan.
During the wind storm
day evening the home of
Sudie Bradley, located a
south of town was totally
iroyed by fire. The alarm
given about nine o'clock ai
fore any one could read
house, the flames w
yond control. The barn, all out
buildings and considerable fenc-
ing were also destroyed. The
origin can only be guessed at,
as all the members of the family
away from home at the
time. Mrs. Bradley bad built up
little fire for supper and coals
from that may have popped out
onto the floor or the kindling
which was lying near.
A number saw the blaze and
hurried out, but the fire had pro-
gressed too far for them to be
able to reach any of the house-
hold goods and lack of water pre-
vented their fighting the flames,
as they made their way to the
barn. Fortunately the stock had
been turned out of the barn be-
forehand.
Mrs. Bradley's loss will reach
several hundred dollars with sum
insurance.
Keeping- the Record Straight.
In order to keep the record
straight, Mr. Hobbins asks The
Sun to state that according to a
letter lie received from Secretary
daggers of the election board, the
result of the final count showed
30 votes for him and 29 for Polk.
This would seem to indicate that
there were three mutilated bal-
lots found instead of one. as was
stated last week.

COMET NEWS
Will be Visible to Naked Eye in
East Just Before Sunrise
April 4.
Now that Halley's comet has
changed over from the east side
of the sun to the west side and
will on April 4 become visible to
the naked eye for the first time,
we should know at just what
point in the sky to look for it.
April 4 Halley\s comet will rise
fifty minutes ahead of the sun
iiikI four degrees and thirty min-
utes north of the sunrise point, be
ing on this date at the tipper edg
of tile twilight line in the early
morning and rising earlier each
morning until May 10. wlien it
will rise two hours and twenty
minutes ahead of the sun. It will
then return toward the sun again
rising later each morning. On
May 18 it will set nearly with the
sun again, and on May 20 the
comet will set one hour after the
sun sets and one degree south of
tiie sunset point, and on May .'10
the comet will set three hours am
fifty minutes after the sun sets
and eighteen degrees and twenty-
five minutes south of the sunset
point. The comet will be visible
to the naked eye from April 4
until June, except when too close
to the sun at inferior conjunction
May IH to 20, and will be very
bright April 30 until May 30 and
will continue visible to the naked
eye in the evenings until June 30,
1910. It will grow less bright
each evening until it fades
away. With our telescopes we
shall continue to see it two
months later than with the nak-
ed eye.
