Obituary Mrs. Sophia KiIbOurne.

u Jesus were not risen from the dead
How dark place would be earth IS sleeping
bed;
We are left desolate, alone. forlorn,
NO light to Waken us on any morn.
No power to bear us upward on faith S wing
NO hope OF Resurrection and no spring.
Now that the Lord is risen from the dead,
The timid hearts of men are comforted
Our spirits shall be lighted on their way
For He has uShered in amending day;
The SunbeamS lie across the parting sea,
And no farewells are spoken hopelessly.
Oh men and women. be no more afraid;
Our spring time in garden Christ was laid
But death could never keep him in it's power
And He, the living Savior, every hour
Let not the Lords beloved be afraid

M'NAMARA'S Will
PLEAD ON June

Los Angeles.-John J. Mcnamara
and his brother, James B. Mcnamara,
were arraigned on charges of murder
and dynamiting, and June / fixed as
the time for them to plead.
Although Ortie McManigal, who is
said to have confessed and implicated
the McNamaras, was charged with
dynamiting in the same indictment
with the secretary of the ironworkers'
association, he has not been ar
raigned, and Is not expected to ap-
pear in court before the trials of the
McNamaras.
Clarence Darrow, of Chicago, will
arrive here about the middle of the
present month to direct the defense
OF John and James Mcnamara.
There is little prospect that the
public will learn details of the mass
of testimony taken before the grand
jury. The District Attorney desires
that It be kept secret for fear that
IT 1t were published it might cause
difficulties in obtaining an unpreju-
diced jury, and the defense has agreed
to remain silent as to the copies Civ
en- 1t.
More than twenty clerks have been
engaged to do the routine work con-
nected with the defense of the labor
leader and his brother. A detective
agency also is said to have been en-
gagged to look up the records of per-
sons who are expected to be leading
witnesses for the state,

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD
Experts See Prospects of Bumper
Wheat Output.

New York Reports of bumper
wheat crops almost everywhere in the
United States and in Northwestern
Canada are being received by those
here who make it their business to
keep in touch with the grain situation
There are big yields in prospect In
the Far Southwest, Texas and Okla.
homa, Kansas will have a big crop
Last years crop has ceased to be a
market factor. 1t is probable that re.
vised acreage figures will add further
to the estimated output next harvest
The Census Bureau before long will
have the figures for the actual acre
age of the crops, and if history re-
peats itself there will be a revision
upward in the figures for the areas
planted.
