with a thirty-thirty or any frearm he
carried only coil of rope. Seeing a

trail he sprang upon the bears back
and quickly had moose Of the rope
around Bruins neck.
The Jap held to one end of the rope
and succeeded in tangling the bear in
its coils, but the bear tore Kanaka's

PASSING Of TELLER
SUCCESSOR ELECTED TO COLO.
RADIOS BRILLIANT SENATOR.
Has Unique Record in That He Has
Served 10 Years as Republican
and IL Years as Democrat
Without Interruption.

Washington.-Press dispatches re-
Gently announced simply that Charles
J. Hughes of Denver has been elected
to the United States senate to succeed
Henry M. Teller Literally that was
all. Politically there was much more.
It was that the election of Mr.. Hughes
marked the passing of Henry Moore
Teller, the grand old man of the
Rockies.
During one-third of a century Mr..
Teller, to a greater or lesser extent,
has, been continuously before the eyes
of the nation. For large part of that
time he held high rank in the councils
of his party. Few ADLER men have
come out of the west and none who
lager held the affections of his peo-
pie. Yet when the final summary was
made up, the only mention he received
was that his name was among those
entered.
Mr.. Tellers entry into the senate
was coincident with the entry of his
state into the union. His record is
unique in that he served in that body
18 years as Republican, and then
without missing a day he served IL
years more as an Independent and a
Democrat. A few older men bave
been elected to the senate at different
times by political parties of opposite
beliefs, but a period interviewed in
which they waited for the people to
experience h change. Mr.. Teller re-
pudiated his old affiiliation and took
up with the new without Interruptions
in his service.

half varied, as one term followed an
other, and the ability and character of
that representation likewise varied.
Born in New York state in 1880,
Mr.. Teller when be became a young
man, studied law and was admitted to
the bar. He sought the great west in
1858, and as Illinois at that time
seemed to be a long way toward the
setting sun, he came to this state and
began the practice of his profession.
He only remained here two years,
however, as he foresaw greater posi-
bilities in the territory of Colorado.
That his judgment was good when
he decided to take the long jump to
the new and little known land in the
Rockies was proved by the later events
while the nation was celebrating it's
centennial, Colorado was admitted as
a state, and among the first acts of its
legislature was the election of Henry
M. Teller as one of it's representatives
in the United States senate.
Chosen as Republican. he served
in the senate until in April, 1882,
when he was called to President Ar
thurs cabinet las secretary of the in
terror. Here he twice honored his
state-bringing it an important cabi-
net post after only six years Of state
hood, and being the instrument by
which this distinction was given to
state beyond the great American
plains.
Mr.. Teller served as secretary of the
interior during President Arthur's
term, but near the close of the period
there was a sensational election in
Colorado, and he was offered his old
seat. He accepted it, and when his
| work as cabinet member ended on
March 4, 1885, he walked over to the
! capitol and took the oath of office as
senator.
"A few years later the money ques-
ton began to make trouble for men
| in public life, and what was destined
| to be Mr.. Teller's greatest political
| sorrow began to take form. A financial
stringency, followed by the repeal of
the Sherman act, precipftated the free
silver controversy upon the country,
and Mr.. Teller, an ardent advocate of
free coinage, found himself in conflict
with many of his political associates. :
| Subsequent developments are of too
| recent occurrence to require recount
| ing here. Mr.. Teller was approaching
| the end of his third senatorial term
| His state was Overwhelmingly for sill
yer, but majority of the leaders of
the Republican party in the country at
large were bending their efforts to OBJ
tain a declaration for the gold stand
ard. The crisis for the Colorado man
was near at hand. 1t came with the
Republican national convention at St.
Louis in 1896.
