.ORPET MURDER TRIAL
!. TO OPEN TOMORROW
College Student to Be Arraign-
ed on Charge Of Poisoning
High School Sweetheart.

wAUKEGAN, ILL.,. May N-The stage
was set today for the trial tomorrow OF
w. II. orpet, Wisconsin University stu
Marian Lambert. high school girl. whose
body, was found February 10 In the
woods near Lake Forest. Ill.
A jury venire of approximately $50
men has been summoned to report at
waukegan early tomorrow. States At
torney Ralph J. Dady and James wiki
erson. former United States district at
torney. who Is handling Orpet's defense,
both announce they will be ready for
trial.
Dady sprang a surprise. announcing
that Miss Celestia Youker. the QeKalb.
Ill, Normal School teacher. to- whom
young Orpet was engaged at the time
he met Marian in a tryst Of death in
the woods. would be summoned as a
witness by the State.
Waukegan is agog at the prospect Of
hearing Miss Youker's testimony. She
has to date kept secret any knowledge
that she might. have Of Orpet's rela-
lions with the Lambert girl.
Orpet's father. William II. Orpet. also
will be summoned as a witness for the
State. it was announced by Dady. who
has summoned nearly $50 witnesses al
together.
Orpet is confident of acquittal. He
believes his attorneys can prove what
he long has contended-that Marian
drank poison in the lonely woods after
a last meeting with him.
The State, on the contrary. hopes to
show that Orpert either forced poison
down Marian's throat, or gave her the
potion which caused her death. under
guise Of medicine.

Following His Leader.

From the Chicago Journal:
Mr.. Hughes should not be
blamed too severely for attack
ing the eight-hour law, in a
word, for shaping his speeches
to suit the views of Wall street.
He is merely catering to the
taste of his strongest and most
consistent ally.
Wall street has been out to
beat Wilson ever since March
a, 1913. It had two grudges
against him from the start, his
independence and his sympa
thies.
President Wilson believes in
helping those who need help, In
stead Of handling over the pow
ers of government to men who
have proved more than able to
help themselves ; and he refused
to take orders from the coun-
try's financial masters. These
qualities were enough to arouse
the hostility of the money pow
er, but now it has a score Of
grievances-each one a public
blessing-to sharpen it's resent
ment and embitter its hate.
Wall street never will forgive
President Wilson for chasing its
lobby out of Washington.
Wall street never will forgive
President Wilson for the Fed
eral Reserve Act.
Wall street never will forgive
President Wilson for the income
tax.
Wall street never will forgive
President Wilson for the inheri-
lance TAX.
Wall street never will forgive
President Wilson for the rural
credits act.
Wall street never will forgive
President Wilson for revising
the tariff.
Wall street never viii forgive
President Wilson for opposing
Huerta or for refusing to inter
vene in Mexico.
Wall street never viii forgive
President Wilson for the child
labor law.
Above all, Wall street never
win forgive President Wilson
for averting the great railroad
strike.
Wall street is the veteran in
this war against Wilson. Hughes
is merely a new recruit. Natur-
ally, he suits his tone and tenn
per to the wishes of his senior
officer and the head of his com.
missary department.

Prohibition Paragraphs

A vote for statewide prohibi
ton is a vote to. repeal the loca.
option law.
It costs So, 981, 134.O0 per yeal
to run the state government.
and more than half the money
comes from the liquor industry.
When you vote to repeal the
local option law of this state, you
vote to destroy the American
principle of local self-govern-
ment.
Wage-earners actually engag-
ed in the liquor industry in this
state receive in wages approx
mately ten million dollars per
year. Who will pay these
wages when the state is voted
dry?

candidate for President, predicts
that Missouri will go wet" this

There are $4,000 citizens of
Missouri who are directly or in
directly dependent upon the liq-
uor business for their livelihood.
In what way can it help you to
vote these people out of a Job?
The constitution should never
be amended for any purpose that
can be as well or better accom-
plished by legislative enactment
and our state legislature can
give us statewide prohibition by
statute whenever Missouri
wants it.
If anybody knows where the
state of Missouri can pick up an
extra three or four million dol
lars a year outside of the pres
emit sources of revenue, he should
slip the word to Colonel Gardner
and Judge Lamm. Both are
running for Governor, and one
of them may need this informa-
ton next winter.

Taking Honey From the Hive.
Taking surplus honey is not
robbing bees, though that term
is often applied to it. Where
bees are properly cared for they
collect more honey than they
need and give it over to man
without complaint or struggle
when man takes it in the proper
manner. If he cuts a bee tree
or Sits open a gum or box hive
and attempts to steal their sup
ply of food, as well as the sur
plus, then the bees do object.
Surplus honey should be taken
from the supers before cold
weather to avoid chilling the
bees, but on warm days, even
late IN the fall, 1t the bees are
still working, honey may be
taken where for any reason it
has not been removed earlier.
Honey is produced in three
forms, depending upon the bee
keeper and the type of hive.
Some work for section or comb
honey, others merely cut out
the comb honey in chunks, while
others use an extractor for
throwing the honey out of the
combs, when the combs are re-
turned to the bees for refilling.
Section honey can be produced
only where a movable comb hive
is used and the sections full Of
honey are simply removed from
the hive when filed and capped.
Chunk honey may be taken from
bee trees, gums, box-hives or
movable frame hives. The hive
is simply opened and the sur
plus supply cut out in chunks
and stored in cans or jars. Elk
tracted honey, and that is the
type of honey which is most
suitable for immediate use on
the table, is removed from the
chunks by means Of an extract
or where movable comb hives are
in use.
To remove surplus honey select
a warm day and work rapidly as
possibly so as to avoid exposing
honey to robber bees. Also be
careful to avoid spilling or
smearing honey about the hive
or ground as it always encour-
ages robbing, the most undesir-
able trait of bees. Above all re.
member to remove only surplus
honey and leave the brood cham.
