Once upon a time Omaha had a comet all its very own. Probably not ten men in the aware of the fact, for fact it certainly is. It was acquired exactly thirty years ago Sunday morning, its coming being heralded t | by the London dispatch divulging the con- tents of Prof. Gould's reply to the cabled inquiry of Sir John Bishop, F. R. A. 8, ete. It is true the comet never materialized, due, doubtless, to another “eccentric and unaccountable deviation back to its orbit, unless, perchance, the “dark disc” that formed its head was completely consumed by ‘“spontaneous heat,” and, in the lan- guage of the plans, nature “let the tail 80 with the hide.” Be that as it may, the heavenly ap- parition never made connection with the continent of North America in latitude of 38 degrees north, longitude 42 west—which would have been somewhere in the vicinity of Nebraska City—nor in any other vital spot of Mother Earth, though the shadow of the predicted collision gave Omaha the cold shivers for many, many months. Omaha was yet in its swaddling clothes when the “Haynes come was announced It claimed no more than 16,000 population, and had probably much les but It was already the “Gate City and the way the 16,000, count ‘em, 16,00, shook in thelr coats throughout the spring and summer of 1580 all but tore the gate off its hinges. The'. Bee Published Cable, The London-Cordova ecablegram was printed in The Bee on Saturday morning, April 3, and conscientiously stolen and du- plicated in a rival evening paper, so that on the following day, being Sunday, it was known and discussed from center to cir- cumference, that its to say, from Dan to the hasel patch at the head of St. Mary's avenue, and to Bohemian hall on South Thirteeath street! There was per- | feet unanimity of opinion Prot. Gould had sald the comet would strike down in the corner near Nebraska City, and It would strike! It would as cortainly tear up the earth some, and the scene of the ructton was unpleasantly adjacent Omaha. So Intense was the alarm and anxiety created by the unlucky Haynes comet that the pastors of practically every ehurch -im :Ih' city went to some pains to allay the fears of their congregations, and as their sermons were pretty fully covered by one Of the papers—the one that had stolem the | news—the tone of the apprehension market became decidedly easier. Those who con- tributed powerfully to this result, to Aller’s” to Twentleth and Military road; | and | Drug Co. their names may be written In letters of £0ld, were among others, the following pastors: Rev. W. . |Copeland of the Unitarfan church, Rev. W, J. Harsha of the First Presbyterian, Rev. J. B. Max- tleld of the First Methpdist, Rev. A. L. Sherrill of the First Congregational, Rev. B, H. E. Jameson of the First Baptist, Rev. W. K. Beans of the Righteenth Strest Methodist and Rev. J. C. Evans of the United Presbyterfan, then tersely de- scribed as the “U. P." the “U. P.” being in those days the only reliable trade-mark in Omaha. Rev. Mr. Copeland was in some respects the most remarkable Omaha churchman of that day. Mr. Copeland was one of the first to handle the subject, and he aid so in & masterly manner. He delivered his famous ‘‘corhet sermon’ exactly one week after the publication of the Cordova astronisher. Patrick O. Hawes, pollce judge of the city of Omaha, sat tilted back in his cane- seated chair, in the dusky and dusty court room in the decrepit and disreputable old city hall that was evolved from the wreck of the once proud Patee Opera house, Seventeenth and Farnam streets. It was Monday morning and Officer Houck had not yet brought “the gang’ across from the city bastile. The newspaper man who had stolen Th Bee's_thunder and, not a little frightened himself at the dire predictioms of Prof. Gould was explating his crime by handing out the pulpit consolation to a territied public through the medium of the press, stood in the august presence. His report of the last “comet sermon,” in the morn- ing paper, was in the hands of the Hon Patrick O. Hawes. “You great chump!” he roared. “Ain’t you ever going to get your eyes open?’ “What do you mean?’ with offended dignity, quoth the reporter. “Why, don’t you know that's the great- est hoax ever perpetrated on this com- munity?” And then and there he exploded the Haynes' comet, “Dos" Haynes, later to become a theat- rical manager and advance man of note, was then holding cases on the night side of The Bee. He occasionally “scribbled” a few lines for his own amusement, when copy didn’t come up fast enough. On the night of April 2 he found time hanging | heavily on his hands and evolved |h@‘ Gould-Bishop fiction, which was good enough for the morning edition and re: celved apparent confirmation by appearing also 1n the evening rival of The Bee. It | never went further than into the pages of | a few state papers, and a walting and weary world patiently wondered what all | that agony Omaha was suffering was about and how it would end. .

CLAIMS HE HAS NOT REPORTED Salary of spector, m Rothwell, Garbage In- s Cut Off Pay Roll on Ground He Was Allowed A slight arcrimonious discussion oc- cured Friday morning at the meeting of the ity counchl to pass the pay rolls. Chairman Funkhouser of the finance committee discovered that Health Com- missioner Connell had left off his pa: roll the name of Dr. G. M Young, dairy inspector and veterinarian, and that he had placed thereon the name of Bamuel Rothwell for twenty-one days Dr. Connell was called in to explain. He said Dr. Young had not been putting in un appearance at the health office for the past month and had made no re- port as to whether he was working or not; therefore he had not placed his name on the pay-roll Consideriable discussion ensued concern- ing the disagreement between the health commissioner and his veterinarian, but it was finally decided to ask Dr. Young to appear before the committee of the whole next Monday afternoon. Concerning the Rothwell case, Council- man Brucker took the position that as Rothwell had only been conflrmed a week his pay should be for «nly elght days. Dr. Connell sald that there was need for the appointment of a man to watch the work of the garbage contractors and to serve notices on householders to have garbage, ashes and refuse removed, and he had put Rothwell on when the need arose, “You have no right to do a thing like that without notifying this council” said Brucker, “I have the right,” “when an emergency pointment was made to take care of an mportant part of our work Pending further investigation, Rothwell's name was stricken from the pay-roll. This case will also be settled next Monday March Big Month for New Buildings sald Dr. Connell, exists, and the ap- Produces More Permits Than Any Month in All of Last Year.
