Measures.

TRENTON, March 1.-The members
of the House went into conference at /
o'clock his afternoon on a al issued
by Democratic Leader Matthews. The
object Of the conference was to pro-
vide against a repetition OF what oc-
CURED yesterday afternoon. when Re-
publican Leader McCran shot so many
holes through the Simpson corrupt

was behind closed doors.
Signs of Revolt.
While the situation on the corrupt
practise bill brought about the con-
ference, several members of b Hous
did not let the opportunity pass to ex-
press resentment because they have
been ignored In the consideration Of
pending bills to- which the last Demo-
cratic platform pledged the party In
one way or another. There were signs
OF open revolt.
But one or two members of the As

the bills that have been introduced,
like the Geran election measure. the
Simpson corrupt practise bill, the en-
ployers' liability bill and the proposed
public utilities act.

1t is general knowledge. however,
that Governor Wilson has aiken nu-
merous members Of the Senate into his
confidence on his plans concerning
these bills and that several Q who

North Carolina Bear Hunts.

Jones county farmers are making a
regular campaign against the bears,
which are giving hog raisers no end
of trouble. A year ago some of the
farmers bought a couple of bear dogs,
from which they have raised a pack.
Almost daily hunts have been con-
Quoted. and the nine hounds have
never failed to get a bear.
Recently there was a hunt on Mill
creek, in which twoscore men partici-
pated, and these were delighted to see
the skilful way in which the dogs
handled the bear, the latter, true to
his fighting style. sitting upon his
launches and fighting. Henry oliver
finished the bear with a bullet. The
leading bear hunters are V. A. and w.
II. Bender, who are the Of the
pack. In that section there are many
small swamps, with a thick growth Of
bay and other trees, in which bears
and deer take refuge. 1t is a capital

and Oregon. There are 38 sanatoria
provided by these states, Massachu-

Paulsen attempted to vote at Reyillo

lot. At the hearing he submitted pa
pers showing he had made application
for naturalization as a citizen of the
United States. which made him a legal
voter, and the justice discharged him.

Usher of the local paper. When the
party arrived at a very steep hill,
about six miles southwest of Hum

the steep grade, Mr.. Evans evidently
undertook to change his car from
high to low speed. but being new at
the business. the engine stopped and
the car started backing down the
grade. This hill is n of the worst in
the county, besides being very long
and extremely steep. 1t is graded up
just like a railroad grading and only
room for one vehicle.
Merrigan, saw that an accident was
bound to occur. so grabbing the little
boy he threw him out and he went
rolling down the grade, 20 to 80 feet,
and was was uninjured.

when she was eXtriCated was uncon-
scious. The others were bruised but
