The jars are put into coldstorage and
sold to the bakers in large cities, who
are glad to be rid of the shells; at the

must be given to their packing, for

The prairie stretches far and wide;
Its undulating line of blades
Reflects the noontide lights ard shades
And brings before me one by one
The pictures wrought by wind and sun.

And muf1led hum of droning bees,
Till in the summer hush hear
A prairie signal sweet and clear,
In mournful. piercing notes that marx

HIS DIVINE MISSION
Heron Enters Defense In Trial
of Himself by the
Church.

Grinnell, Ia. June 4.-Professor G.
P. Heron, charged with conduct un
becoming a minister, was called for
trial today in the Congregational
church here. Thirteen churches of
the district were represented by 26
jurors, eight of whom are said to favor
expulsion; even before hearing any
testimony.
No defense was expected and the
evidence introduced in the Heron
divorce suit was expected to form
most of the testimony. Considerable
surprise was expressed, therefore
when it was announced that DR.. Her
ron had sent a letter in his own de
Tense, dealing with his specific. in
dividual case, and not with marriage
and divorce in general. Heron states
that he was called on a divine mis-
sion, as a sort of new prophet, and
that his wife did not give him hel
sympathy and appreciation, so thai
the home atmosphere was uncongen
ial. He and his wife discussed the
matter many times, he alleges, ano
finally agreed to separate and he Wen
away that the desertion plea nigh
be acceptable in the court.

Chicago Machinery Manufacturers

Chicago, June 4.-For the first time
in the history of Chicago unionists a
labor body is ABOUT to present the
unique demand that it's employers or
g%anization shall disband.
The International Association of Ma
chinists. through its local officers, will
insist on the dissolution of the Chi
cago Association of Machinery Manu-
facturers after Thursday unless the
members Of that organization show
some disposition to settle with their
striking machinists. More than 1000
of the latter are now out, and sup
ported by working members who are
determined to compel their employers
to come to terms.
Five large manufacturing concerns,
employing nearly two hundred mem
bers of the machinists' union, have
withdrawn from the Chicago Machin'
cry Manufacturers association. Four
OF the firms included in this list have
already signed agreements with oper
ators of the union despite a resolu'
ton passed by the association bind

CABLES A DoUBTER
Does Not Believe Aguinaldo Was
Really Captured by
Americans.

Manila, June 4.-Gueverra, adjutant
to General Cables, had a three-hours'
interview with A~guinaldo today. He
said that Lailles did not believe that
Aguinaldo had been captured, and
consequently issued a proclamation
characterizing Aguinaldo's address to
the Filipino people as an American
trick. Aguinaldo, through Gueverra,
advised Cables to surrender immedi-
ately.
After this interview General Wade
and General Sumner informed Guever-
ia that Cables must notify them at
Pagsanjan, not later than next Mon
day, of his decision in the matter.
The American generals declined to
guarantee that Cables would not be
prosecuted.
General I'rias, in company with Sc
nor Lucban, brother of the insurgent
leader still operating in Samar, has
gone to Samar island and will attempt
to induce Lucban to surrender.
Some of the leaders OF the federal
party have prepareu a resolution in
which it is determined that the party
| will disband unless the United States
civil commission reappoints the resi-
dent Filipino judges who have recent
ly been removed from Office. Upon
the advice of the more rational mem
bers of the party, as we'll al certain
American authorities the resolution
was not presented. The wisest Of
the federal leaders seem to be con
WINGED of the lack of wisdom in forcing
discord, especially at a time when the
administration at Washington is about
to confer general civil government II
