During the afternoon the employees of the

the room, especially In the recesses of the
windows, but no flowers were then used.
The dense crowd watched with Changing
interest the arrival and departure of the
vehicles, but there was no concentration
of attention. The peculiar, confusing
sounds Of many voices were borne on the
warm evening air continuously until the
sounds of carriage wheels told Of the ar
rival Of some of the members Of the funeraH
party. Then followed a solemn, awe-in-
spiring hush. Every eye was turned and
every thought was fixed on the oncoming

vast concourse Of bare-headed citizens
there was not a word spoken not q Res-
ture nor motion Of disquiet. As the hearse
passed it seemed as II the people held their
breath. When 1t had gone by a sigh arose.
The face Of each man and woman bespoke
the emotion under which he or she was
laboring. There could be no mistaking 1t.
Thousands Of women stood along this Sec
tion OF the avenue pressing against the
ropes and stanchions. each anxious to get
q good view. About equal in numbers
were the men. The women, almost without
exception, were attired in white while the
men wore the more conventional black.
Each and every one stood with barred head
while the Presidents remains were being
conveyed toward the White House, and
many bowed their heads out Of respect to
the lamented chief magistrate.
At 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue
the crowd was immense, extending to the
north and south fully half square Upon
the north side there was line Of street
cars, each remaining where 1t had been
stopped at o'clock. Every aisle Of each
of these cars was occupied by persons upon
tiptoe striving to get glimpse Of the
funeral pageant as 1t passed. Even the
roofs were used as points of vantage. many
persons aVa1llng themselves or this method

cupied Thus the dense mass occupying
the sidewalk was capped by a line of peo-
pie elevated three or four feet above them
forming a background that lent pictur-
esqueness to the scene. At 9th street there
was a repetition of the scene enacted at
7th street. Street cars and wagons were
occupied. inside ana out, and here the tall
buildings began, the windows Of each of

procession was viewed by many q veteran,
with eyes tear-bedimmed. who doffed his
hat as the sad line proceeded. So 1t was
up to 18th street, where near Tho Star
building the people were massed even closer
than at the 7th street junction. II such
thing were possible.
When 11th street was reached the officers
OF the District National Guard fell out OF

tracks facing The Star building. They re-
manned thus until the parade passed and
then broke ranks and repaired to their

DIVORCE PAPERS ARE MISSING.
Grinnell Church Will Need Them
in Trial of Professor Heron.


Grinnell. Ia. April 24-The Grinnell Con-
gregational Association. which is to try
Professor George D.. Heron, is considerably
embarrassed over the disappearance Of the
petition for divorces and other papers from
the court at Algona. Although every effort
has been made the ministers have been un-
able to secure copies.
According to the Clerk of Court Of Al
gons. the charges made in the petition
were desertion, based on the refusal Of
Professor Heron for five years to live with
the plaintiff, and cruelty, based on the
charge that Professor Heron Travelled
about the country, leaving his wife at home,
causing her to suffer from prostration,
which left her almost a physical wreck.
II the specific wording Of the petition can
not be obtained. the charges will be based
on particular report.
Mrs. Heron and her children are report
ed to have gone to South Dakota to visit
her brother.
1t has been impossible to secure a state
ment from Mrs. Heron as to the amount Of
alim0ny given her by Professor Heron, but
1t Is understood that the amount is $50, 0O0.
This amount is said to ave been deposited
in the Algona Bank to Mrs. Herron's cred-
1t. Judge Quarton refused to sign the de-
cree OF divorce until this was done.
