INDIAN HENS EGG FOR 500
Output Of Famous Game Chicken
Brings Big Sum When Taken
to England.

Not often does the price Of a single
egg climb to $100, but this is what
was offered for each Of the eggs of
certain Indian game hen, which was
taken to Englahd some time ago. For
centuries the Indian game, or Azeel
fowls, have been the very apex of tho
game breed, for the purposes of blood
and pedigree have been most carefully
preserved for so hong that the date of
the origin of the race has been lost
In the past. 1t is almost impossible
to procure specimens of the purest
blood, for they are treasured by the
Indian sportsmen at the highest value,
and the best fowls are not allowed to
60 out of their native country. AS
game fowl they are great fighters.
Those who have seen them in India
for the finest birds never reach colder
climates-tell of their prOwess and
ungovernable tenacity in battle. With
them it is always victory or death.
In America, however, the game
fowls are seldom raised for fighting
purposes, but for show, and as pets
and hobbies of poultry fanciers.

GOING TO CANADA,

Duluth Herald Reasons Why Home
seekers Pass Minnesota by.
Referring to a. statement made in an
interview recently by State Auditor w.
erson that of the homeseekers passing
through st. Paul 80 per cent. are bound.
for Canada, the Duluth Evening Herald
says:
Passing through the state of greatest
agricultural opportunity to 60 to an
alien, though neighbor soil. Why is
this? Does Canada offer any greater
attractions to immigrants than Minne-
sofa? Is her soil any richer, any more
accessible, than Minnesota? Are her
markets any handler or any more profit
BILE?
The answer to all these is emphati.
cally no. Minnesota's opportunities are
just as great as those of any state in
the union, or of any country in the
world. Her soil is rich, her terms of
sale are reasonable, and her markets are
near capable of absorbing all that may
be raised.
What, then, is the secret? What is
the lodestone that is attracting foolish
homeseekers out of their native land,
over the soil of Minnesota? It must be
potent, because it has even drawn peo-
pie" from Minnesota, who have sought
the will-o'-the-wisp success across the
Canadian border.
It IS advertising. Canada, in seeking
to fill her broad and vacant acres with
productive farms, set about it systemat-
ically and wisely, and inaugurated a
campaign of advertising. This it is tn; t
has caused many Minnesota people to
leave better things here at home to seek
fortune in Canada.
This means of attracting settlers is as
free to Minnesota as it is to Canada.
But the lest legislature grudgingly
yielded small. sum of money for this
purpose. which tate Auditor Iverson is
now using to the best possible advan-
tage. But the reason Canada is still
drawing the people is that she is spend
ing hundreds of dollars where the penny
wise policy of purblind legislature
limits Minnesota's expenditures to
dimes.
It is to be hoped that another legis-
lature may profit by present conditions
and that it may be accorded sufficient
foresight and wisdom to enable it to be
wisely generous with the cause IF immi-
grafton.

vited guests were Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills, pastor of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn; Rossiter w. Ray
mond, Rev. DR.. s. d. Mcconnell, rec
tor of Holy Trinid,; DR.. Josiah Strong,
and others. DR.. Hills refused to at
tend and voiced his sentiments in the
following language:
II do not wish to be unkind, but
there are sins so grievous, SO bald,
vulgar end Grass in their persistency,
their virulence, that they consume the
mantle of charity as flame the gar
ment.
Consider the conceded facts in the
case. This man marries young wom-
an and is the father of four children,
almost babes; forms friendship with
a young unmarried woman, from
whom he accepts money to buy his
clothes, hats, shoes and travelling ex-
penses; against his wife's protest goes
abroad with this woman friend and
her mother for a year; returns to tell
his wife that he has ceased to love her,
but loves another, and persistently
urges his wife to obtain divorce.
"When the wife is asked by the
judge if there is any obstacle to their
living together she replies: NO, ex-
cept in my husbands mind This
mans spokesman and bosom friend in

Mortality.

MISUNDERSTANDING figures for
the first eight months of 1905 show
1,627 deaths in Minneapolis This is
fourteen less than for the correspond
ing period of last year and although
the decrease is not great, it is encoura-
ging from the fact that the popula-
ton has increased considerably. st.
Paul, which advertises itself as the
healthiest city in the world, shows an
increase of &C deaths for the corre-
spending period. The number of
deaths for the first eight months in
that city was 1900, as compared with
1908 for a like period in 1904 In view
of the fact that the city is believed to
have a slightly smaller population
than last year, as indicated by the
school enrolment, the record is some
what dubious.

Mankato.-A sensational kidnap.
ping was committed by tramp here,
the victim being Ormoud Kusche, the
-year.old son of Charles Kuche, a
real estate dealer. The lad was en-
ticed from his companions by offerings
of sweetmeats and was not missed un.
til late in the evening. A search all
night proved fruitless, but the boy was
found early in the morning, lying hid
in thiclxet of tall grass, with head and
face Scared and gashed and his body
giving signs of horrible maltreatment.
No trace of the tramp has been discov-
cred.
The Kuschc boy, with number of
playma,es, was at Broad aud Walnut
streets shortly after z O'Clock in the
evening, when a man dressed in
tramp's clothes approached the young
sters. According to the story told by
companion Of the Kusche boy, the
tramp picked Ormond up and carried
him in his arms short distance down
the street

has this to say of him, her statement
having been made after DR.. Hills re-
fused to attend q meeting of the Get
Together club:
1T is nonsense for these people to-
refuse to sit down to q dinner In DR..
Herron's honor. If they approve his
views they should have no objection
to dining with him. One fact In his
private life should have no effect on
the value of his views. DR.. Hills sew.
eral months ago expressed hearty ap-
proval Of speech of DR.. Herron's,
and DR.. Herron's views have not
changed since then. If it was right
to approve DR.. Heron then, 1t is
right now. Those Grinnell people are
actuated not so much by sympathy
with me as they are by desire to
down DR.. Heron politically.
'For eight years Miss Rand was as
intimate in our house as if she were
the sister of myself or DR.. Heron.
AS to a prospective marriage between
DR.. Heron and Miss Rand, that is
their affair. If the marriage takes
place the public can draw its own
conclusions, and if it does not, why,
the same is true. Neither DR.. Her.
ron nor Miss Rand has better friend
in the world than myself"
And when the professor was Ques-
toned along these lines he salu:
"They may cruelty me at the cross,
or burn me at the stake, yet l will
make no answer to personal attacks
upon me. l have made VOW and
I will not break it,"
Former Wife Still His Friend.
Prof. Heron is at present engaged
in the preparation of book, in which
it is expected he will announce his
Terminating word" and in which he
will appeal to human kind to accept
his beliefs about matrimony and re-
ligion, even though his example may
not be followed. The former Mrs.
Heron says that she is still the pro-
fessor's friend. He declares that he
has the greatest respect for her, but
says he has ceased to love her.
The news of Prof. Heron coming
into possession of s11,O00,000 amazed
his friends and startled church circles,
but there seems to be no room for
doubt that he really has the money.
and, what is more, that Miss Rand
is glad that he has it.

DR.. Herron's sister Margaret was

0usted by congregationalists.
When news of Prof. Herron's action
was learned he was tried by q council
Of Congregational ministers at Grin
nell, Ia, and was found guilty OF I'M
moral and unchristian conduct. The
report Of the ministerial committee
was as .follows: IT,. --~
AT coupcii held in the First Con-
gregational church of Grinnell on the
4th of June, 1901, to consider the right
of church membership and minis
terial standing Of George D. Heron,
the following findings were rendered:
"That the charge of immoral and
unchristian conduct is sustained by
the findings of the court which at
Algona, on March 21, 1901, granted q
decree of divorce to Mary Everhard
Heron from her husband on the
grounds of desertion and .inhuman
treatment.
Resolved, That we recommend to
the Grinnell association that the name
of George D. Heron be dropped from
it's roll of membership. .s2~ :. il.
Resolved, That we recommend to
the First Congregational church OF
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1905-10-20

Grinnell that the name Of George D.
Heron be dropped from it's roll OF
membership.
Resolved, That we express our con-
viction that George D. Heron has for
feited all right to be known by the
churches Of our faith and order as a
minister of the Gospel and that he is
by vote OF this council deposed from
the Christian ministry"
It was the intention of the commit
tee of the Grinnell church to show that
DR.. Heron had no excuse for leaving
his wife save those contained, in the
sophistries of his late arguments on
marriage and divorce. Eight women,
most Of them wives Of professors at
Grinnell college or teachers in that
institution, told the assembled church
men what the home life of Mrs. Her
ron had been during the past seven
years that she lived in Grinnell, strug-
Cling with the heart agony which
came from the growing knowledge
that her husband was becoming
estranged from her. She saw all the
bright hopes she had formed in the
days when they were college mates at
Ripon, Wis, fading away one by one.
She saw the influence of Mrs. Rand
and her daughter growing stronger
week by week and still she bravely
kept up the fight and strove to win
her husband back to her, confident, as
one of the women testified, that her
love was so strong for him that in the
end it would triumph.
Not Pleased with Colony.
Nothing has ever stirred the quiet
village Of Metuchen to such indigna-
ton as the reports that have been cir
culated from time to time of the prog
ress toward building up a socialistic
colony on the Heron property.
The people of Metuchen, whose
characteristics have been modesty and
retirement, have been unanimous in
letting Prof. Heron and his friends
severely alone. This policy of nom
intercourse has given the comings and
goings of Prof. Heron and the Rands
an air Of mystery.
The character of the Improvements
which have been made at such great
cost on the farms purchased with the
late Mrs. Rand's money have every
indication of purpose to provide for
an extensive colony. The nucleus o:
this colony is already on the place. A
number of sympathizers with Prof.
Herron's beliefs live in the different
cottages at Elmwood farm.
2 Regular services are held in a kind
of open air temple, which has been
built at considerable expense next to
the Heron residen ?e.
-. Views Meet Disapprovnl.
A rain Of disappnoval of his position
has been showered upon Prof. Heron.
Several months ago he was to have
been the guest of the Get Together
