Its luster, dimmed to a point below light of the sixth magnitude star, but. rushing earthward at the exact place Its schedulo presoribed, Halley's Comet returned to the ken of astronomers this morning and for more than half an hour before dawn was "watched from YerJtes observatory at Williams Bay. "Wis,, by Professors Frost and Bernard, " working independently. That tho spectrum may show whet has happened to the apparently lost tail of Halley's Comet, Is the belief held by Professor Frost. "It is worth nothing that when It was herp before In 1635, tile tall disappeared twoj days before perihelion and was not seeh again for two months," he said. Halley's ia tho only comet ever-known to fcehave like this. Probably the tail is there, but is so dispersed that It Is not? bright enough to be seen. - "The theory of its being foreshortened or .the head being between us and the tail; is altogether untenable. Comets tails always point away from the sun." NEW YORK, April 12. A class in astronomy at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences searched the sky early today for traces of Halley's comet. The first glimpse of the visitor was caught at 4:20 A. M., and the comet re mained visible for about 20 minutes. . PROVIDENCE, R. I., April. 12. Hal ley's comet was observed early this morning at Brown University by Pro fessor Wlnslow Upton. It was sighted shortly after 4 o'clock. No tall was shown, and by comparison with a known star in the vicinity, it was of the sixth magnitude. MISSOURI HENS SEE COMET? Ebbs With Talis Surprise Farmers Near Independence. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 12. What effect is Halley's Comet having on Mis souri hens? This question Is occupying the minds of farmers near Independence who have almost decided to lock the doors of their henneries that tho fowls may not see the comet. Yesterday a hen belonging to George Davidson laid an egg with a tail an inch long. The tail was about the diameter of a lead pencil and was composed of the same material as the shell. Today Mrs. Ida Cook reported one of her price Plymouth Rocks had laid two eggs at once. One of them had a little white caudal appendage. The shell was soft and "glvy" to the touch. The two eggs were Joined together with a sort of ligament two Inches long, which ap peared to bo of the same material as the covering. The tall dropped off soon after !s. Cook began to handle the egg. Petrain's Talks on Current Sporting Topics The third week's series started most auspiciously for Portland, as Mac's 'pen nant chasers copped the first game from Sacramonto. It was a good close game, but close victories are better than de feats at- any stage of the game. Next week we will have a chance to . root for the bunch ourselves, and that alone will afford the keenest of satis faction. When McCredle's braves open on the home lot there will be a glad some throng on hand to give them welcome, and a rousing one it will be. Portland eclipsed the San Francisco opening day crowd last season, and we can do it again, for this is the most loyal and best baseball city on the Coast. Any time two leagues are dead anxious to have a city represented in their re spective organizations, they look to Portland. Little Giant Jesse Garrett came through with a victory yesterday, and perhaps the knockers about some of the smoke shops will hold their peace in the future. Garrett is too good a twirler to be even blamed for a loss or two this early in the season. "Spider" Bauin. the Sacramento slab artist, seems to have a harder .time breaking into the win column than does either Garrett or Steen. Baum is one grand pitcher when he is right, and he will win a lot of games for Sacra mento this season. t'urly season re verses generally mean better luck in the end. Jesse Garrett allowed Sacramento but six hits yesterday while Baum was touched up for eight by McCredie's hirelings. The difference in the hits seems to explain the difference in the score, for one run decided the game and Portland registered that In the eighth. The injury to Perle Casey comes as costly blow to the Portland team, for the premier second baseman was as in valuable to the Beavers as Is Kid Moh ler to the Seals. However, George Ort Is such a clever utility player that he may till Perle s shoes in the most ap proved manner. "Lefty" Gregg seems to be the south paw finally turned over to Portland by the- Cleveland Americans. Gregg was a star pitcher last season and ought to prove better this year, for experience is ail Uuli ha needs uxd be should, get iota MAN WHOSE DEATH IS LAID AT DOOR or HIS FAMILY PHYSICIAN, EXECUTOR OF ESTATE, ACCUSED DOCTOR AND HIS WIFE. ,. !

Miller, yester day, though the errors of the Bay City bunch helped some. However, Roy Wil lett allowed only five hits and that was the secret of the Hooligans victory. - The way the Angels have braced since their disaster at the hands of Happlcus Hogan's oufit is most alarming, for the IMllon tribe has won six out of the last seven games played. If they keep going at that clip, Hen Berry's hopes may be realized. Roaring Bill Rapps was moved up in the batting order to third position be cause of the injury to Casey,- and Bill should help the new order of things considerably. He is one of the best batsmen Portland ever had. and can field his position with any first sacker in the business. . Harnden, the Bellingham wrestler who seemed to have It on Virgil Venables in a couple of matches, met Matsuda, the Jap, the other day, and wrestled the Oriental for three hours without cither man getting a fall. That was some match, though it took Eddie O'Connell much less than that time to dispose of Matsuda. SCHOOLS PLAY FAST BASEBALL Granimer Grade Boys Prove Chances for Future Heroes.

TWENTY-FIVE MEN QUALIFY Evidence of Scientists Will Play Important Part in Trial of Doc tor Accused of Murder of Colonel Thomas Swope. KANSAS CITY. April 12. Twelve veniremen qualified as temporary Jury men in the trial of Dr. B. C. Hyde to day, bringing the total number up to 25. An hour before the regular time for adjournment the original panel, con sisting of 150 men, was exhausted. Pending the arrival of a new venire of the same number of men, court ad journed until tomorrow morning. Judge Latshaw made an unsuccessful effort to induce . the attorneys to agree to hold a night session. Since one venireman voluntarily ex plained he would not believe the testi mony of a hired scientist, the question of each talesman's trust in such a witness has become an important one in the examinations. The defense admits an intention of making its main fight on the testi mony of the chemists who made the Swope analysis. The state, of course, will depend largely upon the scien tists to make a case. Beside the accused doctor whenever he appears in public is his wife, who in Bpite of the coldness shown her by her family, the Swopes, still believes in her husband's innocence. She was a niece of the late Colonel Thomas H. Swope, whom Dr. Hyde is accused of murdering. It is said to have been admitted by the prosecution that its main hope of securing & conviction rests on the tes timony of the scientists who made an examination of the viscera of Colonel Swope, finding therein a large amount of strychnine. - Foremost among those Interested in clearing up the death of Colonel Swope was John R. Paxton, whom he ap pointed administrator of his estate, a position Dr. Hyde is said to have de sired. It is said Mr. Paxton will give testimony In the trial damaging to the family physician.

There's no rest or peace for the man or woman who has a bad back. The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sud den movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop and straighten. At night the sufferer retires to toss and twist and groan. Backache is kidney ache a throbbing, dull aching in the kidneys. Plasters or liniments won't do. You must get at the cause, inside. DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS CURE SICK KIDNEYS Portland Proof LL PL McCarver, 286 Holladay street, Portland, Or., says: "Some years ago Doan's Kidney Pills proved of great benefit to me and I publicly recommended them. Since then I have advised many of my fel low workmen to give them a trial and the results have been satisfac tory In every instance. I believe kidney trouble In my case was brought on by a cold. I had always been somewhat skeptical regarding proprietary medicines, but somehow the claims made for Doan's Kidney Pills Impressed me and I began their use. Relief soon followed and I have had no serious recurrence of kidney complaint. How to Tell When the Kid , neys Are Disordered Painful Symptoms: Backache, sideache, pains when stooping or lifting, sudden sharp twinges, rheumatic pains, neural gia, painful, scanty or too frequent urina tion, dizzy spells, dropsy. Urinary Symptoms: Discolored or cloudy urine. Urine that contains sediment. Urine that stains the liuen. Painful pas sages. Blood or shreds in the urine. Let a bottle of the morning urine stand for 24 hours. If it shows a cloudy or fleecy set tling, or a layer of fine grains, like brick dust, the kidneys are probably disordered. Portland Proof Mrs. J. W. Painter, 445 E. Market street, Portland, Or., says: "I have not lost my faith in Doan's Kidnev Pills since I publlclv recommended them in February, 1903. As I stated at that time, a severe spell of sick ness early in my life left me with weak kidneys, and as time went on I suffered more and more intensely from spells of backache. The pain through my kidneys was almost un bearable and often I could not as sume a comfortable position. When able to be up and around I was troubled by headaches and dizzy spells and I could not stoop or lift. I doctored and used various remedies -but nothing helped me until I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. I do not hesitate to recommend this prepara tion in view of all It has done for me."
