Bear Waited and Killed Enemy.

A story is told of a man who met a
grizzly out alone in the mountains and
succeeded in bringing him down. He
was an enormous bear, even for a
grizzly, and the lone hunter, after a
good look at him, left him lying in the
woods and went into camp to get help
in bringing in his game. Two men
came back with him walking single
file through the trees, the man who
had killed the grizzly, in the rear. And
when they came to the place where
the grizzly had fallen, there he was,
bloody and disheveled, but alive and
standing, his huge bulk across the
path, waiting. Before any one of the
men had time to draw his gun, or re-
cover from his amazement, the grizzly
had rushed past the two strang-
ers to him, and killed the man who
had wounded him, to the death. Not
until he had killed his slayer did he
drop dead at the feet Of the other two
men who had been powerless to pre-
vent the tragedy.

FLU ON THE RUN
Large Part of State Shows
Abatement of Epidemic.
Closing Orders To Be Made
Only Local Next Week.

AZ whole the state is gradually
overcoming the fefluenza epidemic,
the state board of health announced
today, but in certain localities the
disease is still causing considerable
trouble. The western two-tnirds of
the state shows general abatement
but in Marshal1 county and in Kansas
City, Kan, the disease is still bad.
Absolutely no Improvement has
been shown in Kansas City," Doctor
Sippy stated today. .'and the health
on their hands. We also have been
notified by the health officer of Mar
shall county that the closing order will
be kept in force there all next week,
regardless of the action taken by the
state authorities"
Reports From 46 Counties.
Reports from forty-six counties and
eight cities Tuesday showed 2,015 new
cases, but many of these were cases
that developed several days ago and
that had not been reported promptly.
Wichita had eishty-seven new cases
and seven deaths Tuesday.
Up to noon today only 1928 cases
had been reported to the state board
of health. This is 700 fewer than the
reports of any day last week and 900
less than the reports up to the same
hour yesterday.
Open State Again.
Most of Kansas will be open again
next week. The local health officials
are going to be the ones to determine
whether the schools, picture shows
and general meetings can be held.
The state board of health officials
feel that it probably will not be neces-
| order into next week but the local
health officials will be directed to
make a survey of conditions in each
community and determine for them
selves what action should be taken.
F., The state health officials feel that
/ the disease is pretty we'll under con-
/ troll. The report showed marked fall
| ing off in new cases in nearly every
district reporting. There will be in
| fluenza cases in Kansas for weeks and
/ likely there will be small local out
breaks of a virulent form but no great
! epidemic need be expected.
No decision has yet been reached
| regarding the lifting of the statewide
/ closing order next Saturday, but it is
| probable that if the majority of re.
ports continue to show an abatement
! the state authorities will place mat
ters back in the hands of the local au-
! thorities Saturday with the under
standing that in all communities
where there has not been a big i'm
provemeut the closing order will be
kept in force.
May Open Schools Soon.
No orders have been issued to thu
state schools as to when they may re
sumo work, but Doctor Crumbin,
made a special trip to Lawrence to
day to go over the situation there, anC
it is likely that he will base his ac
ton on conditions as he finds then
there. However, it is practically Ger
tian that students who have been il
! badly affected communities will no
be allowed to re-enter schools unit

Washington, Oct. 23.-President
Wilson has authorized the establish
ment by the United States bureau of
education of a teachers agency to be
known as school board service sec
ton to meet the shortage of instruc-
tors in schools and colleges estimated
as reaching thirty thousand.
The purpose of the section, an an
nouncement today said, will be to as
sist in finding teachers for colleges,
normal and technical schools, super
intendents and principals of schools
and teachers and supervisors of spe-
cial subjects in secondary and ele-
