PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE.
Surveyor Tells Of Experience He Does
Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to a monster bear

Harry Engelbright found it SO few
days ago in Diamond canyon. above

The young man, son OF Congressman
Engelbright, has just returned from
the upper country, where he has been
doing some surveying, and relates his
thrilling experience. 1t was coming
on dusk, at the close of the days work.
In the brush-lined trail he saw pro-
truding what he thought were the
hind quarters of some stray bovine.
He walked up and gave the brute .
shove. 1t came to its launches with
snort that made his hair rise and
caused him to beat hasty retreat.
The big brute looked around and then
shufiled off into the woods. It was
either asleep or else SO busy eating
ants from an old log that it failed to
hear the young surveyor, whose foot
steps were deadened by the thick car.
pet OF pine needles. Later it was
learned that the same bear, q monster
cinnamon, had killed a dog earlier hi
the day. The dog ventured too close
and with one blow Of its paw the big
beast sent 1t hurting yards away,

ROMANCE ENDS IN TRAGEDY
NEW YORK MAN KILLS WIFE AND
COMMITS SUICIDE.
Julius Teich Finds Sweetheart After
Long Search, WEEDS Her, Then
Kills Her.

New York-After search that last
ed five years and covered $4,000
miles on two continents, Julius Teich
found the girl he loved and persuaded
her to marry him, only to kill her in
q fit of anger after two months OF
welded life and then, repentant, to
take his own life.
Pistol shots Wednesday aroused the
occupants of the apartment house in
West One Hundred Twenty-sixth
street where Teich and his bride
lived, and when the police, who were
hastily summoned, broke into the fiat
they found both Teich and his wife
unconscious. Both died within few
minutes.
Emily Herter lived in Germany with
her parents when she first met Teich,
who was silk weaver. Teich fell in
love with the girl and wanted her to
marry him. But he was possessed of
a violent temper and Emily feared
him. Her parents also objected to the
marriage. But Teich was insistent so
the girl left Germany secretly to es-
cape him and came to America.
This was five years ago. For two
years Teich searched Germany for her
but failed to find her. Then her par
ents admitted to him that she was in
America but refused to tell him where.
Nothing daunted, the young man came
to America and renewed his search.
He hunted New York for months but
failed to find her. Then he went to
Minneapolis, st. Louis, Philadelphia
and Scranton where he thought the
girl had friends, but without result.
He returned to New York few
months ago and accidentally met
Emily on the street. She was living
here with an aunt and, in spite of her
aunt's objection, Emily finally con-
sented to marry the man who had
been so faithful in his search for her.
They were married two months ago.
Neighbors in the apartment house
say that there was a quarrel in the
Teich apartment Wednesday morning
because Emily refused to get up to
partake of the breakfast julius had
prepared. There were sharp words and
a pistol shot, Then pleading words for
forgiveness from julius, followed by
another shot. Then the police broke in
the door and hurried the unconscious
man and woman to hospital, where
both died. -.

FIGHT.
sTANDPATrERs WILL FIGHT.
The utterances Of Chairman Payne
Are Significant.

Washington, D. G., Aug. 23.-Chair-
man Payne Of the house ways and
means committee delivered himself Of
some utterances on tariff revision
that make 1T clear that he has no
thought Of revision before the presi-
Dental election, and what is more,
that he is not willing to commit him
self to revision after that election.
He said that he considered that there
was general consent among republi-
cans to the proposition that it would
be unwise to agitate revision of tariff
on the eve Of a presidential election.
When asked II there would be a re.
vision after the presidential election,
he said: II think that the republican
national convention will decide that
question" Specifically asked II he
favored revision after election, he
merely said: II have great confidence
in republican convention and in a
republican congress. am willing to
abide by the decision Of the republi-
can party upon any question relating
/ to party policies"
u He added there were no hard times
in New York state. Factories were
running full time and every man who
wanted employment could have it.
Mr.. Payne's cautious tone about re-
/ vision, after election, along with
other developments among standpat-
tiers, are making 1t more and more
plain that tariff revision has plenty
of obstacles yet ahead of it, and that
the high tariff forces have not by
any means consented that there shall
be ar overhauling of schedules after
the presidential election.
Attorney General Bonaparte has
conferred with Special Counsel Frank
B. Kellogg and Charles B. Morrison
over the Standard Oil dissolution
suit. Mr.. Bonaparte's activity in
this matter has further served to
strengthen the reports that he hopes
to smash the oil monopoly and also
to bring criminal prosecutions against
the leading STANDARD Oil magnates
for violation Of Il Sherman law.

Secretary OF War William H. Taft
oper ed the state campaign IN this
city.
Calling attention to what he called
the south's lack Of representation IN
the councils OF the, nation, he de-
clared that this was true, because
one single issue has made the south
the perpetual tail of the democratic
party SO that however small the
northern head, it wags that tall. The
south has permitted the shadows OF
an issue that circumstances ought to
have long removed from political
controversy, to bind It's solidity to tina
democratic party, no matter what
principles or candidates that party
has adopted"
He called attention to the prosper.
ity Of KeIltucky's developing indus
tries and agricultural wealth and ex-
pressed the belief that many Ken
tuckians who favored protective
tariff had blindly voted the demo.
cratic ticket from the feeling of the
race Issue.
After mentioning the various means
OF disfranchising voters, declaring
that such laws were proper II ap-
piled with equal fairness to both
black and; white, he express9 the
hope that as the colored sstizens
under the leadership of such men as
Booker I. Washington would become
respected business members of the
communities in which they live and
when they exercise independence OF
judgment in respect to political IS
sues, we may be sure that gradually
the right to vote will be accorded
them and they will exercise a far
more useful influence as intelligent
and solid members Of the community
for the benefit of their race than the
ignorant members OF their race would
have exercised had they been allowed
to vote. In this way, through devious
ways which cannot be justified or
approved, we may still reach result
that will square with the require
ments Of the federal constitution and
will give to the negro every political
and economic right and Will confer
great benefit upon the colored race.
