At 1 o'clock Wednesday morning a long bright stream extended along the eastern sky forty to fifty degrees like a comet tail. No aurora was seen.

A quirky, fragmented passage notes marriage order and habits with old timey humor. It mentions a second wife being more utterly too too than the first and a tidy kept on a chair back pinned to a coat.

It closes by contrasting Detroit Free Press views on chasing tramps in Indiana with fox hunting in a playful regional tone.
