THE BEAR WAS GAME.
And Was Only Persuaded to Cave I'm
After "a Tough Old light.

And Was Only Persuaded to Cave I'm
After Tough Old light.
From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
FRANK Layne, James Burchill and
Peter Smith, with their dogs, started
out possum hunting the other night
The night was clear and cold. Two
miles had been covered when the dogs
began barking and started off at top
speed with their noses to the ground
Hurry up" said Layne, as he broke
into a run. The young men needed no
second bidding. The dogs were off in
the woods bowling like mad. AS the
men grew nearer the snarling grew
louder. A vigorous rap against a soft
body. followed by a howl of pain,
caused the hunters to make a fresh
burst of speed. minute later they
came upon the scene; a bear sat with
his back against a tree, and his paws
saving the air. In the glare of the
torches his eyes glowed like balls of
fire.
XIII him, Pete" shouted Layne.
SmitherS fired both barrels of his gun
at the bear, who leaped into the air
with howl of pain and then made
straight for Smithers, who, in less than
10 seconds. was rolling over on the
ground with the brute.
xiii him." shouted he, as he strug-
gled with the weight of the bear and
the bears face, and with a snarl the
bear let go his hold and tumbled over
backwards. In an instant the dogs
were tearing at its throat, but the bear
was soon on all fours again.
Smithers' clothing hung in shreds
and his face was smeared with blood.
Did he hurt you?" said Layne.
NO. but the blood off his face where
hte shot struck him blinded me-"
For a moment bear. dogs and men all
stood in the open space, all painting
hard; then, as one of the dogs made a
leap at the bear, the battle was re-
newed. Smithers reloaded his gun and
for a second time let both barrels GO
The shot did no more damage than to
tear away part of the skin of the bears
right shoulder.
IF we don't kill him, he will kill the
dogs" said Burchill. as one of the dogs
was knocked across the open with
broken neck.
Layne seized a stone and hurled IL
with all his might at the bear, hitting
him on the head and knocking him
over. Burchill sprang at the bear and
began beating it with a club.
Now we have him." said Smithers
but he made a mistake. The bear rolled
itself out with a phenomenal sudden
ness. The men and dogs were unpre-
pared for this and before they could get
out of the way they were all sprawline
on the ground. Before they could rise
the bear made off in the darkness of
the woods. Less than a minute later
the dogs were after him. but the men
had enough of bear fighting and called
the dogs off and started homeward.
Smithers concluded the story of the
fight with the remark: THE next time
we go 'possum hunting you can bet we
will go loaded for bear"

40. j. W. WILL BUILD
The Anaconda Lodge Is to Have a
Nice New Hall.
TWILL BE PUSHED ALONG
All the Main Arrangements Have
Been Made and The Building VIII
Be Erected Before Snow
Files In the Fall.

For some time past the members Of
Anaconda lodge No. %, A. o. u. W.,
have been contemplating the erection
of a hall and a building to be devoted
to lodge purposes. The project was
considered from every possible point
of view and all seemed favorable. so
that at the meeting held last week it
was determined to proceed with the
enterprise. The plan adopted is one
often used by societies in securing
quarters, and consists of the formation
of an A. o. u. w. hall association, UNI
der the auspices of the order.
The capital stock VIII consist of S15,-
600 in shares of the par value of $50
each. There are now nearly $50 MEM
bers in the order, most of whom win
be able to take one share and many
more will take stock in larger guam
titles.
d. Cohen, ST., M. ]. Fitzpatrick and
j.. A. Schroeder were appointed trus-
tees to proceed with the forming of the
association. They have effected an or
ganization with ID. Cohen, ST., as presi-
dent and M. ]. Fitzpatrick secretary
and treasurer. The association has
been duly incorporated and the stock
placed on sale to members of the work.
men. The lodge No. 22 has taken $1,000
worth and enough more has been taken
by individuals to place the enterprise
upon q successful basis.
The trustees have secured lot 16, in
block s. which fronts 25 feet on Com
mercial avenue, adjoining ]. A. Schroe-
der's building and extends 14O feet to
the alley. Buck Bros. of Stevensville
were the owners and the price paid was
S4,250.
The intention is to begin the building
as soon as possible, making it two sto-
ries in height, with a capacious store
room on the first floor, for which ap
plcations have been already filed by
several reliable tenants. On the second
floor there will be lodge hall, recep-
ton rooms and ante-rooms.
The plans are to be called for at once
and all possible haste made in the
completion of the block. The building
will, in course of time, be owned by
the order, as the scheme has been
based upon a system by which the
lodge will take up the stock from time
to time, and when a member dies his
widow or heirs will receive the full
amount invested in addition to the
amount of insurance. The enterprise
is such that there is no chance of loss
to the order and will make an i'm
portant and valuable addition to the
business portion of this city.

on the civil calendar that will be tried
and disposed of during this term of court.
while others will be set for trial next

$3.50 in the forenoon. OF the whole num-
Der drawn fully two-thirds will come

Paines celery compound has made well.
Chief Postoffice Inspector M. D. Wheel
er of Washington, d. c., writing to the
proprietors of this most wonderful of
curatives, says: -
81 have used Paine's celery compound
with marked improvements health. At
the time 1 commenced. using 1t 1 was
very much run down from overwork and
was advised by a friend to try it. I be-
gan almost immedia tely to improve, and
after taking three bottles felt well enough
to discontinue its use, and have been per-
manently benefited. heartily recon-
mend 1t to the public"
Mr.. Wheeler has found out what every
one should learn-that putting heart and
soul in ones business no longer means
room till the head grows dizzy, the back
aches and neuralgia twinges shoot
through the frame.
They are the short-sighted men and
women who put up with this state of
things when the risk Is so great and the
remedy so easily within their reach. AS
weakness, nervousness, languor and
sleeplessness are clearly the result of low
nervous nutrition, so permanent relief
will come from rapidly building up the
wasted nerve tissues. Paine's celery
compound is the means best calcula ted
for this end.

UNION SPRINGS.
The Marriage of Miss Margaret Gertrude
Evans to Mr.. Robert Riley.

The Marriage of Miss Margaret Gertrude
Evans to Mr.. Robert Riley.
Union Springs, Oct 23-tspecial Core
spondence.)-At LAGRANGE, Ga, on yes
terday, at $50 O'clock Mr.. Robert Riley,
of this city, led to Hyman's altar Miss
Margaret Gertrude Evans, of this city.
The ceremony occurred at the home of
the bride and was an occasion to be re-
membered by those so fortunate to be in
attendance. The groom was attended by
his sister and his brother-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs c. G.. Frazer, and Mr.. and Mrs Be-
land of Greenville, Ala Mr.. Charles e.
Gholston accompanied the groom as his
best man, and filled with much grace and
dignity his duties at the wedding. The
entire wedding party stopped over in
Montgomery last night, where they at
tended the Della Fox opera. The bride
was one of Georgia's most gifted and
beautiful women and has many admirers
among the literary class of that state.
She filled the position of art teacher in
the Union Springs academy here during
the years 1890 and 1891, and at this place
the friendship that ripened into love and
resulted in marriage began between this
happy couple.
Mr.. Riley, the groom, is we'll known
throughout the business circles of Ala
bama. No better, no more prosperous
and no more skillful merchant than he
conducts the mercantile business here.
He counts his friends by scores, and they
all wish for him a continuance of his pop
ularity and success. Mr.. and Mrs. Riley
will be at home to their friends at the
home Of the groom's sister, Mrs. c. C.
Frazer, ON Chunnugge street.
Things political are moving along very
smoothly here. The regular democratic
ticket Is the only one spoken of, and will
consequently roll up the same democratic
majorities. Clayton's dismissal by the
president was no surprise. We all under
stand the game and will send him to con-
gress Just to spite Grover. Clayton Is
too smart to hold such little place. Let
them give It to Tom Clark. The inconsis-
tency of such a movement will be strictly
in keeping with the presidents policy.
