]. MAN AND BEAR ON A LOG.
Man Willing to Give Bruin the Whole
 Ijos hut Couldn't.

Man Willing to Give Bruin the Whole Log, but Couldn't.
 Conductor Dave Houston. of the Southern Pacific railroad, who is talk ing a ten days vacation at Seaside. had thrilling experience with a big bear which he will not soon forget. He cily told few of the incidents, as he desired to keep it quiet, but the story leaked out. Conductor Houston is a great fisherman, and never let's an oppor-s tunity slip to cast the line. He had hardly got settled at seaside when he went out on the Necanicun river to have a fish all by himself. He made his way through the brush until he came to a log, one end of which pro- jected out into the creek. That's the very place. thought the conductor, and, adjusting his line and pole, he crept out on the log, where he found himself com- fortably perched above the cool water of Necanicum creek. Houston lighted his tried and trusty pipe and then cast his line. He fished and smoked perhaps an hour without getting bite.
 Suddenly there was movement in the bushes back of him, and then he felt the log he was sitting on tremble. In- stinctive1y the conductor turned around when to his aanazement he gazed into the face of a. black bear. The latter seemed to be sizing him up and estimat- | ing how much of meal the conductor would make, and whether he would scrap when it came to the point. For the conductor there seemed no escape. The bear sat complaisantly on the shore end of the log, and It was not possible for Conductir Houston to get past the monster The bear held him there for several hours before a hunter came along and killed the animal. The bear weighed 250 pounds when dressed. Conductor Houston now has few more gray hairs in his head as the result of his experience. Morning Oregonian.

STATE TEACHERS MEET.
BIG GATHERING IN HARTFORD
 YESTERDAY.
Finy-sevensh Annual Convention q
Proceedings.


 Connection. Assooiation-Inter
 Proceedings.
 Hartford, Oct 16.-A vast crowd of school teachers assembled early to- day at Foot Guard arnory for the fifty-seventh annual convention of the Connecticut State Teachers associa- ton. The seating capacity of the armory was inadequate to accommo- date all of the teachers and during the morning session quite number were forced to wander about the city. The convention was the largest in the his tory of the association, every city and town in the state sending it's represen- tatives.
 The, morning session was opened at 10.15 o'clock by President c. B. Jen-. nings of New London, and was occu- E pied entirely by an address delivered by pr. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton university, on Instruction and Edu- cation." pr. Van Dyke said he had never had the opportunity of going to school in Connecticut, but he greeted the assemblage as one of the same guild. "Education,' he said, lis a subject which sounds so easy to speak upon that many are tempted by it.. Education means not only the draw ing forth of that which is in a man but the putting in of that which is of
 benefit to his intellectual and spiritual I being. When considered in the racial sense, it can be considered solely as a | means of bringing out that which is in l a man. The advancement of the race | is, I suppose, the shining achievement
 which the teachers, as they plod along, have in view. Almost any kind
 of Knowledge will make a man great Eff it is properly applied.
 | Dr. Van Dyke confessed that he is a
 believer in the old form of academic
 education though he is not petrified
 Fin his admiration.
 l After Dr. Van Dyke concluded his l address the various sectional meetings
 were held at 11:30 in different school
 houses in the city.
 At 2:3O this afternoon the session opened with an address on "The Per- . sonality of the Teacher" by Dr. Will I liam de w. Hyde, president of Bow
 doin college, and the annual meeting, at which officers were elected, was | held at 4 o'clock.

ToENNIGEs LEAVES CITY:
CONCERT Is ABANDONED

The Rock Island Choral union has
decided to hold no more rehearsals this
summer because Prof. c. f. Toenni-
gees, who has been connected with the
organization as leader, will go to De
Kalb to assume the leadership of the
Bird regiment band and another Choir
al society that has been formed in
that city. The choral union has also
decided to abandon the concert that
was to have been given at the Illinois
theatre tomorrow evening on account
of the fact that the advance sale of
seats did not warrant assuming fur
Their risk of financial loss.
There will be general regret on ac-
count of the action that it has been
found necessary to take and the pub
necessary to discontinue and the pub
lie will also be sorry that Prof. Toen-
niges has decided to remove from the
city. Prof. Toenniges has for several
years been very prominently connect
ed with musical enterprises of this
city and Davenport and he has hosts
of friends and admirers whose good
wishes he will have in his work at De
Kalb.
The union has not altogether aban-
dOned the work, but expects to re
sumo in the fall if proper encourage
ment is met with. The affairs of the
organization will be settled, the treas
urcr paying back their money to those
who have recently paid up their asso-
ciate membership.
Part will be taken in the Memorial

Connors is making the Bloomington
baseball team do entirely too much
bunting. Connors seems to have an
uncomfortable mania in that direc
ton. 1t is bunt, bunt, hunt, without
any discrimination. Scientific bunt-
ers who are fast on their feet make
Il go of it, but when the hardest hit
ter on the team comes up with slow
man on first and goes bunting until
he hunts himself out or hunts into a
double play, it gives the grand stand
the fidgets. The bunting mania has
lost Bloomington more games this
season than either errors or the hit
ting of the opponents. People pay for
baseball as an amusement, and they
like TO sec action with possibilities
and the element of uncertainty rather
than the exhibition of a victim trying
to break the bank of Monte Carlo
with a system"

The first four innings of play be-
tween the Rockford and Rock Island
ball teams yesterday afternoon was
a clean break and land as pretty
an exhibition of the national game as
could be given on heavy field. In
the fifth inning the visitors slugged
long and nightly and when the fusil-
ade was over and the smoke had clear
ed away eight runs and seven clean
hits were chalked to Roclford's
credit
Outside of this the contest was a
battle between Smith and Killian
with honors even. Smith struck out
IL men and gave six passes, while Kill
liam caused nine Rock Islanders to
fan and helped five to base. The dia-
mond was heavy at the start Of the
game and sawdust was used literally
about first base. But before the game
was over sun and wind combined to
dry the field into fair condition.
