Bishop Hurst through his connection
with the American university has be-
come known throughout the country.
While his administration OF affairs has
been severely criticised by certain
faction in the Methodist church, he
still has a powerful backing. 1t is
feared by prominent Methodists here
that the publication of the bishops
domestic infelicities will hamper seri-
ously this work So great is the gen.
eral sympathy for the family here that
the local papers have not printed a
word concerning the Hurst trouble, ax-
cept to publish the deed of gift trans
ferring the home property to Mrs.
Hurst without comment Mrs Hurst
is at present residing in Paris.
All questions relating to the case
were referred to A B. Brown, coun-
sellor for the American university,
who will represent the bishop in the
separation proceedings which are now
pending.

Taguig Destroyed.

Manila, June 13.-The town of Ia
guig, on Laguna de Bay, has been de-
stroyed by the army gunboat Napidan,
in connection with the operations un
dertaken between San Pedro Macati
and Paranaque by Gen. Lawtons
forces. Gen. Lawton, with his escort,
has reached the shore of the lake at
point eight miles south of where
Taguig stood.
The American troops, after fighting
their way from Pedro Macati to point
south of Las Pinas, and dispensing the
rebels in their path, found that it
would be impossible to reach the
beach of Manila bay before nightfall,
and bivouacked in the fields. During
the night the rebels evacuated Parana-
que and Las Pinas, and the sound of
their bugles could be plainly heard as
the main body marched down the road
to Bacoor. Other parties moved west
ward, taking with them their women
and children.
Monday morning the American
troops occupied Las Pinas and Parana-
que. They found plenty of friends
among the natives, but no soldiers. A
priest said that the rebels had retreat
ed during the day and night, and that
about 1900 of them are not at Bacoor.
Gen. Noriel is in command of the in
surgents.

BISHOP HURSTS BRIDE.
Young and Handsome, She Withdraws
From a Life Monotonous for Her.

Washington, June 11.-Regret is eX-
pressed in church and university cir
cles that the domestic infelicities Of
Bishop and Mrs. John F. Hurst should
have become public Bishop Hurst is
one of the most prominent leaders in
the Methodist Episcopal church,

chancellor of the American university,

Mrs. Hurst, who is the bishops Sec
ond wife, is young and handsome and
fond Of society," She has two little
daughters and is devoted to them.
Mrs. Hurst is the daughter Of the
late Francis H. Root of Buffalo, who
made big fortune in manufacturing
stoves and specializing in real estate.
Mr.. Root was a prominent Methodist
and wished the family name to be as
ISOLATED with that of a high leader in
the church. 1t was in compliance with
his wish, it is said, that his daughter
married Bishop Hurst, and the mar

herited great fortune, her income be-
ing estimated at $4,000 annually
Friends of the Hursts have known for
some time that while the marriage had
proved a disappointment on both sides,
not the slightest bitterness existed be-
tween the couple. 1t was their earnest
wish that some satisfactory means
should be found by which the bishop
should not be hampered in his great
work and at the same time Mrs. Hurst
should be relieved of the burden and
uncongenial work Of life not agree.
able to her tastes.
A few days ago, in accordance with
the wishes of Mrs. Hurst, the bishop
invited her brother, Mr.. Root of Buff
falo, to consult with him regarding a
division of property and terms of sepa-
ration agreeable to both. The bishop
drew up deed conveying back to the
trustees of Mrs. Hurst the magnificent
home purchased and furnished by her
mother shortly before the marriage
That deed has just been filed for
record. This property comprises two
large lots at the corner of Seventeenth
street and Massachusetts, avenue, and
a magnificent brick mansion thereon.
Acknowledgement Grigg's home is next
door, and the Cages live but a few
steps beyond.
Bishop Hurst is fond of the society
of learned professors and students of
science or of Biblical lore. His duties
as chancellor of the American uni
versity caused him to spend much of
his time in travel. Often he would be
away from home for weeks. This, of
course, was not the life for a girlish
matron The society and converse
ton of ministers, doctors of divinity
and scholars is well enough, but when
the long talks took always the same
trend, the future Of one institution, it
doubtless became monotonous to Mrs.
Hurst Mrs Hurst's mother, Mrs.
Root, left 100000 to be used in the
endowment of the American univer-
sity, and also bequeathed $4,000 to
Bishop Hurst personally in token of
her esteem for him.

This death creates vacancy which
Gov. Scofeld will fill, and that State
Senator John NJ Whitehead will be
rendered the place is scarcely mat
ter of doubt and that he will accept is
also certain unless he prefers the
sphere of politics with congress or the
governorship as his goal. Those
gratified to have an opinion about TIE
matter do not hesitate to predict that
ermine and thus enter upon an office
with a virtual life tenure, salary of
$4,000 and in compact and pleasant
circuit. The counties covered are
Rock, Jefferson and Green. Judge Ben
nett's term would have expired in jan
uary, 1901, and whoever is appointed
will have to stand for election for the
residue of the term next April. The
circuit is republican. NJ. G. Jeffris and
Ogden H. ITethers, also of GAINESVILLE,
are possible appOintees. 1t is taken
for granted that no lawyer from either
Jefferson Or Green will be seriously
considered. Senator Whitehead is an IL
nnOlS man, a ale graduate VINO Studleu
law in Chicago and came to Wisconsin
in 1SS3-the year after Judge Bennett
went on the bench. He has resided at
GAINESVILLE ever since and came to the
state senate two years ago. The only
other Office he ever held was that of
supervisor. He was one of the ablest
of legislators, the father of the tax
commission and of other notable meas
ures. While regarded year or so ago
as not at all unfriendly to the La Fol-
lette element, yet during the last win
ter he was classed practically as Gov.
Scofeld's spokesman in the upper
house. He is high-minded, conserva-
tive and of thorough judicial temper
ament. He is AZ years old.

Madison, June 10.
Judge John R. Bennett of the 18th
circuit died at his home in GAINESVILLE
yesterday afternoon, Judge Siebecker
being notified by telegraph of the sad
event. He was i'll only short time
and had been able to perform his ju-

Nov. l, 1920, and was therefore 10
years old. He was a native of Rod

practice in 1S4S and that same year
came to Wisconsin, but just admitted
TO the union, settling at GAINESVILLE
For long years he held a foremost po-
sition at the Rock county bar, and
among the great characters with whom
he was associated in practice or came
in contact in court were Wilton, Matt.
Carpenter, Noggle, Knowlton and
JOrden. He was elected circuit Judge
in 1882 without opposition and was
continued on the bench since. He was
a man of giant stature. His only
child is the wife of Rev. c. F. Miles of
Menominee.

WORK AT THE HAGUE.
German Delegates Object to Secrecy Of
Conferences.

The Hague, June 1.-THE chief dele
gates to the peace conference met yes
terday to discuss German complaints
against the secretary imposed upon the
delegates and the consequence Of the
misleading reports published. 1t is I'M
derstood that Count Munster, head Of
the German delegation, was instructed
to propose that the protocols for the
plenary sittings of the committees be
published Immediately after they are
drawn up. American delegates are still
confident of the adoption Of some Of
their chief projects for arbitration, out
the preliminary discussion indicates
the impossibility of maintaining them
all.

The Northwestern company is
double tracking its road bed between
Elroy and Baraboo. This necessitates
an immense amount Of gravel to prop
erly ballast the road as none of the
gravel used On the original track is
available. Fully 80 carloads OF this
desirable material is hauled from Be-
lott during each twenty-four hours
most of it going through during the
night. Twenty-three loads seems to
be the limit of the hauling capacity
of the large engines that the company
uses for that purpose. The road hopes
to complete the work by the first OF
