 urehead- 1.-the house in Amelia
 square was much more lively, but in spite of the air which cer- tatnIy gsryads,d the house all things lady and saw that things were kept decent. The boarders feared her bright black eyes and her sharp tongue and were always glad when she retired te her sitting room. But Miss Bull was also liked, as she was a very anfable hostess. Margery was now. as ever. her docile slave, and Miss Bull gov erned with a rod of iron.
 Among the new boarders Miss Bull took most notice Of Bawdsey, who oc- cupfed the rooms formerly inhabited by Train, On his arrival he had ask cd particularly for these rooms, saying that he had once lived in them when he stopped with Mrs. Jersey many years before. After some thought Miss Bull remembered the man. He had board ed in the house and had been a great favorite with madame, but had later gone to America and for some time mad remained away He expressed the greatest sorrow for the death of the old lady, but declared that he was very pleased with the house as managed by Miss Bull. The little woman liked him, as bis conversation was amusing and he was most polite, but had she known that he was private detective she might not have approved of him 50 much.
 What Bawdsey was she never in Quired, as she was the least curious of women. His habits were certainly eccentric, for sometimes he would re- main away for q week and at other times would stop constantly in the house. He often remained in bed for the day and bad his meals brought to him. This he called his bed cure and stated that he suffered from nerves. He told Miss Bull quite gratuitously that he had a small income. Fl am simple in my tastes" said MT. Bawd- Bey, saud what have keeps me in luxury. But man even of my age must be up and doing. Better to wear out than rust out.

METHODIST
CONFERENCE
SENSATION
Fine Sense of Honor Involved
In Bishop Days Resign
alton
First COlOred Brother Elected
a Missionary Bishop to
the African Nation

Los Angeles, May 2S.-There was
another sensation at the Methodist
conference this morning, when DR..
James r. Day, chancellor of Syracuse,
N Y, University, resigned his bishop
rie, to which he was elected Satur-
day. Days election was due to a pub
lished story that he had knocked down
Prof. Hardie, of San Fernando, Cal,
during an argument on higher crit
icism." The story turned the tide in
favor of Day, who was Immediately
elected. Day this morning made the
request that his resignation be ac-
cepted because of the sensational in
eidents connected with his election.
The resignation was accepted. Days
act estab ished his honor, and beyond
doubt he is the most popular man
in The conference. The election of
another bishop is made necessary. Re-
turns on the ballot for three mission
ary bishops was announced this morn
ing as follows: Rev. ]. B. Scott, to
Africa, first colored man so honored;
Revs Oldham and J. P. Robinson, to
Southern Asia.
Merriam c. Harris, former superin-
tendent of Pacific coast Japanese mis-
mission work, was elected missionary
bishop to Japan on the first ballot.

op Merrill presiding.

TURNER
COUPLE
ELOPED
Girl Was Dissatisfied With
Home Conditions and
Found a Lover

The little town of-Turner is wrought
up over a sensational elopement,
which occurred in that place Saturday
afternoon. Chas Nordine and Miss
Nellie Anderson, are the parties to the
escapade, and they were traced to
Shelburn, Linn county, but disap-
peared at that place and have not
been apprehended.
Anderson is an s. p. foreman and
has gang of men near Turner repair
ing the track. Nordine has been en-
ployed by him for several months, but
, on pay day quit and made his arrange
ments to leave. Anderson's daughter
Is 16 years of age, and the neighbors
say that she has not received the best
of treatment in the world from her
home folks, and for some time has
longed to be free from parental super
vision. Her age has been bar to
any actions not pleasing her parents,
and she has suffered and ached under
what she considered undue restraint.
Nordine was the man in the case,
and he proposed to take the petite
maiden under his loving care, and Sat
urday afternoon they bade adieu to
home and kindred, silently, however,
and started south. Nordine owned a
horse and buggy, and they tucked
themselves snugly in the rig, and per-
haps had visions of happiness and con-
tent.
Papa Anderson did not propose to
allow his baby daughter to be spirited
away by any stranger in this manner,
and early Sunday morning he was af-
ter the pair. He traced them to
Shelburn, but at that place lost all
clue of their whereabouts. He swore
out warrant for their arrest in Scio,
and has the various peace officers up
the country looking for them, but
without avail.
Miss Anderson wore baseball uni
form, and was masquerading as a
man. Nordine is about 20 years Of
age, and is said to be a very fair ap-
pearing sort of fellow.

In an interview in the Sunday AS
torian Governor Chamberlain says:
That he would not be surprised If
Mayor Mcclellan, of New York City,
were to receive the Democratic nom
ination, in view OF the bitterness en-.
gendered as result of the contest be-
tween the Parker and Hearst forces.

run for his pelf down in the first dis.
trict, and that Binger may fail to
finish first in the race;
That the Democrats are going to

President Roosevelt, in my humble

who were arrested last week for rob,
bing the Woodburn postoffice, were
given a hearing before the Justice at

Same Prices as Last Year.
The prices given so far by the buy
ers have been about the same as
those of last year. They have ranged
from 1914 to lac, and no sales have
been reported above IA cents, and but
few below 12h. The market is not
SO rushing as it might be, but is
steady, and there is a good demand
for the wool at the prices which the
buyers want to give. There has been
no great roar raised by the growers so
far at the figures offered; those who
did not think they were being offered
enough simply holding out until the
date of the sale, when they will have
their kick coming, If they do not get
what they consider fair offer for
their product.
All Of the wool, practically, this
year is good. The staple is long and
alive, and the fieeces are clean. For
this reason the growers hope to get
good figures for what they have
raised.
