Fraarts Betger f Hillside Ceav Trcgatleaal Aeeased ef Slaadew try Ckartk Trmata. The "matter ef the charge of slander brought by Joseph W. Moore, a trustee of Hillside Congregational church, against the pastor, Rer. Francis Berger, came up for a bearing Thursday evening before the oo un ci 1. Nothing could be done, however, owing to the absence ef several of the pastors. Rev. Hubert C Herring of the First church and Rev. Robert Tost of 8t Mary's Avenue Congregational were appointed a oommlttee to get the council together at another date. The council consists of the pastor and one lay -member from eaoh Congregational church In the city, making a quorum of twelve. The council waa called by request of Mr. Moore. The case Is an old one, hav ing come up some months ago. The difficulty which has led up to the oouacfl began before Easter. According to the version of Mr. Moore, who has been tbe financial secretary of the church for a long time and a member of the congregation for nineteen years, the matter arose from a difference as to the annual cost of running the Sunday school. Mr. Moore kept the books, but did not handle the money, this being the duty ef the treasurer. It ia un derstood Mr. Berger believed some extrava gance was practiced and attempted to find out bow and where. At Easter time, . ac cording to Mr. Moore, Mr. Berger asked the coat ef maintaining the Sunday school for a year, and said It eoet about ISO. Mr. Moore corrected him. saying the yearly Average for ten years was tie) to US). Mr. Berger replied he knew better than this and declined to look at the books. The pastor produced bills from tbe Chicago sup ply house. Theee, Mr.. Moore says, are not the total expense, ss local houses also have furnished material. Mr. Berger Is said to have pronounced theee statements untrue and te have asksd that Mr. Moore resign and to have talked about tbe matter in various places. The matter was Uken up by the church trustees and, according to Mr. Moore, they found nothing amiss. He wished an apology from Mr. Berger, and this not being forthcoming, he carried the question to the council. PAYS FOR HOLDING.

St. Paul traveling men and the traveling men who work Minnesota and tne wa kotaa want the state to step tn and say what kind of service the hotels shall give and how It shall be rendered. They have done considerable work In improving the hotels through their own organisation, and now propose the passage, of .bills in the legislatures of Minnesota and South Da kota which shall deflns what a hotel keeper may and may not do. The traveling men take the position that they are willing to pay, but want to get what they pay for. It ia to shut off charges for things they don't get snd service for which they pay that is not rendered that they want sUte laws. Here are soma of the things that travel ing men would require by means of legis lation: Better hotel service and the prohibition of all graft and Illegal and dishonest usages in the hotel business; the prohibi tion of charges for the next meal com ing, missed meals and double charges for lodging; the prohibition of extortionate dray and bua charges; protection against extortionate livery charges and charges ef liverymen for which no service Is rendered, thorough protection along business , lines of commercial travelers who are willing to pay for what they require, but object to paying for services not rendered snd value not received.

There is a deal of coyote hunting tn tbe west that Is not attended by the niceties of the club hunt . Ever since tbe first pioneers pushed their way across the great plains, the coyote -haa been an outlaw, looking for no mercy at the band of man. His predatory habits have made the ani mal the bane of the ranchman, and his howl has . made blm the exasperation of the camper and the terror of tbe tender foot. Then, too, his habit of skulking Just -within rifle range has always made hint a tantalising target for the man with the rifle. Ia spits of his unpopularity with an class ea ef men, however, the coyote haa managed to hold his own better than any other animal In the great west The ante lope la swifter of foot, mayhap, but, not having the cunning of the ooyote, has been lured within rifle range until prao- tlcally exterminated in many states. Tbe ranchman's lust for fresh meat, the east ern tourist's desire for antlers and elk teeth, and tbs native who slays for the market have depopulated Colorado and several other state of their beet game. Tb bear, oougar and bobcat have flt the same blighting Influence, but tbe coy ote still figures In the skyline of the aver age western picture.
