He stopped in Kansas village, and
in the evening started out for walk.
The stores were closed, but the moon
was shining brightly. He rambled
about the place for couple of hours,
and started down the business street for
the hotel. Suddenly he saw before him
on the sidewalk big bear, sitting on
its launches, with open mouth and
paws extended, awaiting his coming.
In a moment he was on top OF q

him, and the bear sat and watched him.
All night long he staid there. trembling
for fear bruin would climb the post, but

was too small to be used by bear.
At daybreak some men came along,
and one of them wheeled the bear back
to the doorway with the remark, Il

of the walk. =
The tourist descended from the porch
without detection, and had he not sub
sequently enjoyed the story so much
that he told it himself it would never
have been known.

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon don Standard writes that strange con- fict was observed the other day by fishermen on the Frische Half, near Konigsberg, in east Prussia. For some time they had noticed two otters which had ventured on to the ice. As they were watching them, large hawk came flying from neighboring forest and alighted on the ice not far from the otters. Soon, however, it scared into the air again, swooped down like lightning on one of the otters, and stuck its claws into it's back. The other otter fled. A desperate fight en- sued. It lasted ten minutes, and ended in the death of the hawk. Its neck was bitten through, only thin strip of skin remaining to unite its body with its head.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Resolution Offered Against Catholic
 Use of Federal Money.

CLEVELAND, May S.-Bishop Hurst presided in the Methodist conference this morning. Morris Sharp of Ohio presented a resolution to excuse women delegates who relnquish their seats and providing that their expenses should be paid to the date of their withdrawal. The resolution called in their male reserves. Dr. Medley of Philadelphia presented substitute in which the women were invited to re- main as honored guests of the confer ence and their expenses ordered paid Dr. Cranston asked for ruling as to the present status of the woman in the conference.
 Bishop Hurst decided that was a matter of interpretation for the body and ruled that Dr. Medley had the floor. Just after Dr. Medley began speaking Dr. Fryssinger of Pennsylvania ap- pealed from the decision of the chair on Dr. Cranstons point and in the midst of intense excitement vote on the appeal was taken. The ruling of Bishop Hurst was sustained by a vote of 223 to 204. Dr. Medley and Mr. Sharp both withdrew their papers and the most violent struggle of the first week of Ithe conference was over.

In the evening he returned to the Will liams house and began again the mat ter in dispute, and after a very few words suddenly drew his revolver and fired. There were two cartridges in the pistol and he fired both. The first was the only one ito take effect. The other imbedded itself i'm the ice chest behind the counter. Cy Williams was behind the counter alt the time of the shooting and was unarmed. There had been no weapons drawn or ex- hibiIted before and no violence had been offered by either. Doubtless the man who fired the shots thought him self aggrieved, but certainly not to such an extent as ito justify the shoot ing.
 The reports sent out first about there being an attack made on the slayer with knife are without foundation. The testimony seems ito have revealed deliberate and possibly premeditated murder.
 Justice Marshall bound the defend ant over to the grand jury and he was remanded ito jail at Florence.
