Militia Marched Into Hall.

-Four attachments Of militia were
marched into the hall and drawn UP
in line reaching from the entrance
on the south of the bier. Another
line stretched from the bier to the
place where the hall aiVerged, and
down each side hall were other lines.
Strict orders were given to see that
there was no delay in the crowd as
1t passed out of the building. When
everything was ready for the public
to enter, Joseph SaXton, uncle of Mrs.
Mckinley, an aged man, bowed deeply
with the weight of years, entered from
the east hall and passed up to the cas-
ket. He stood for fally two minutes
gazing into the face of his distin-
guished kinsman. He then passed
slowly down the hall his head bowed
low. his lips twitching eonvulsively.
A few final details were arranged and
then the door was opened to the pub
lie. Two little girls were the first to
approach the casket. Directly behind
them was a tall, powerful man, with
a red mustache. As he gazed into
the casket he caught his breath in d
quick, sharp sob that was audible in
every part of the hallway He then
gave way entirely, and weeping bit
terry passed out. Many Of the people
as they looked upon the face of their
dead friend. whom they had seen but
two weeks ago. in full health, caught
their breath at the change that was
there. The presidents face was
much thinner than they had expected
it would be, and the sight that met
their eyes shocked them greatly. The
crowd was admitted four abreast,
passing to the right and left of the
casket by tyos. No delay was per
nitted and apparently about 100 a
minute passed the bier.

REV. BRUNER RESIGNS
ENGLEWOOp CHARGE.

Politics in the pulpit and quarrels
over the preachers salary, fraught
with allegations of various kinds, are
the supposed causes that led to the
resignation Sunday of Rev. Frank c.
Bruner. pastor of the Englewood Sec
ond Methodist Episcopal church and
a former resident of Rock Island coun-
ty. The pastor read his resignation
at the morning service, and. though
it had been an open secret that there
was strife between him and the
officials, his decision came as COM
plete surprise.
Rev. Mr.. Bruner gave as his reason
the failing health of his wife. He ex-
planned in addition that he was pre-
pairing to 90 on the lecture platform
and that he would be open to supply
pulpits during the summer. For this
work. he explained, he felt fully
equipped. being in the best of health.

GROWING CROPS ARE
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

The Illinois crop bulletin for the
week ending April % says:
1.-The week opened with cold
weather. but temperatures have risen
until warm, almost summerlike,
weather prevails at the end of the
week. There has been practically
no rain during the week, and the soil
in the southern part of the state,
where wet weather interrupted farm
ing operations, has generally come in
to excellent condition for tillage. The
very favorable conditions for farming
operations have been taken advan-
tage of, and such rapid progress has
been made that farm work in some
localities has come into a very sea-
sonable condition of advancement.
The warm weather has forced rapid
growth of vegetation, especially in
those localities where the soil had not
become rather dry, and good progress
has been made by growing crops. over
t he northern district and much of the
csntral district rain begins to be
badly needed, though as yet the effect
of the dry weather has been shown
ia SLO"Sh
would otherwise have taken place.
The prospects for wheat and rye APP
pear to be excellent. In few iocali-
lies damage by Hessian fly is still
feared, but over most of the fly in
fected region there appears to be i'm
proVement in the prospects. Dat
seeding is generally complsted,
though in few localities, where wet
weather delayed this work, consider
able seeding remains to be done. A
decreased acreage will be seeded in
these localities. In many places
oats are up and are max
ing good growth. Preparing corn
ground has been the principal
work of the week, and rapid progress
has been made. Considera BILE corn
has been planted in the southern dis
trict and some has been planted in
both northern and central districts.
Grass is growing slowly, but the crop
generally looks well. Stock has been
turned on pastures in many localities
Considerable potato planting and gar
deniug has been done. Garden truck
is growing nicely. Fruit prospects
continue very fine, and trees are in
bloom or buds are rapidly swelling
over all the state. Some damage by
frost of previous week is still feared
in the southern district. but such
fears have been lessened considerably
during the week"
