odist minister OF a little church near

conference here to-day. The informa
tion was contained in letter which the

he was burdened with debts. When the
story leaked out, according 10 the
Bishops information. a wealthy layman
of the Methodist Church offered the
clergyman an equal sum to recompense
him for the loss. but this tender also
was refused. the clergyman saying he
had done only his duty.

courts as bargain counters for domestic
profit" He denounced the delay in get
ting cases heard. citing one instance IN

SPRING AGAIN IN KANSAS
Trees and Shrubs Putting Out New
Leaves and Blossoms.
INV Telegraph to The Tfibunc

on city, Kan. Sept. 22.-The trees and
shrubs OF Oil city are exhibiting a curious
phenomenon this fall by putting out new
leaves and blossoms as though IL were
spring. Apple and plum trees bloomed a
few DAYS ago and lilac bush had several
fine blooms yesterday. Black walnut.
mamie and elder trees have delicate new
leaves.
The reason for the new foliage probably
Is to be found in the continued dry weather
during August, causing the buds to set
unusally early. Then severe hailstorm
on August % stripped the trees OF foliage
and the warm weather Of September
caused the winter buds to become active.

not desire the actual occupation Of the
