OHINNELL, 10., May 31.—Arrange
tncnta for the trial of Prof. Herron on a
rharge <>f heresy June 4, have been prae
ti. .illy completed. All th*; preliminary
jil:<!is are being conducted secretly.
However, enough has leaked out to indl
c; te that there is some difference! of
Opinion as to how th« trial should be
conducted. While there is a wealth of
g- neral information in the minds of
fchurch people in regard to Herron, there
i^ a paucity of tangible evidence. The dl
proceedlnsß at Algona were in the
hands of two or the most skillful lawyers
Sn the country and only the merest pos
f3ii>le bits of evidence wore permitted to
r on the record. A private secre
tary of Prof. Hwron was the only wit
ii s who gave testimony supporting Mrs.
H1 lion's plea of cruelty and inhuman
treatment, and it is understood he has
refused io talk, either to the papers or
l( the committee in charge of the trial.
The offer made by Prof. Herron to
V: i< a letter to the council explaining
J.is views on mariage and divorce, though
making no defense of his private life, is
1 ■ Hi \ ed to be a source of annoyance to
Die church people. What they want to
do is evict Herron wholly on account of
bis private life and they are unwilling
that the impression should go before the
public that he Is being turned out on
pecount of nis social or religious opin
ions. The question has arisen as to how
this phase of the question should be an
»v, i red—whether to give it full attention
ami to place it on the records of the pro
pf i dings of the trial, which will go before
jthe public, whether to give it only some
Slight attention or whether to ignore it
altogether. The opinion of prominent
Congrcgationallsts in Grinnell outside of
the committee, is that while the letter.
Which will probably be an open one,
ehould be recognized, the council should
ji<» l>e deflected from its course by this
diversion. "The charge to be brought
R^ainst Herron Is that of conduct unbe
coming- a Christian and a gentleman,"
Raid a prominent member of the church,
"and for the council to be diverted by
Ihe expression of Prof. Hcrrcn's view's
on marriage and divorce is a* if a man
bi ing tried for stealing should advance
the extenuating circumstance that iK
fe:;<! never committed murder."
The committee empowered by the Grin-
Bel] church to aot in the matter is made
lip of J. P. Lyman, Prof. C. F. Childs,
Prof. Charles Noble, Dr. P. E. Somers
Did Rev. E. M. Vittum. Thet>e are rep
resentative men and may be relied upon
in every respect to give Dr. Herron the
fairest possible show.
This committee has called the council
•which will meet here next week and the
matter will then pass from its charge to
that of the council. This council is ex-
pnrte. That is, It has been made up
without the concurrence of Frof. IT?r
ron. He was invited to take pant In Its
formation, but courteously declined, say~
In? he was perfectly willing that it
should be ex-parte.""
Tho indications eeerr. to be that the
trial will be a quiet one-, and that if the
church people can have their way about
It Herron will be ijuietly dropped without
any more advertising than is absolutely
necessary. This will probably not coin
cide with Dr. Herron's point of view,
Who by moans of his letter, either open
or otherwise, will probably seek to divert
public attention from his private life to
Ills public teaching's; at least", that is what
Fcveral Congregatioralists lr. Grinnoll
profess to b:lieve.

GETS HIS MONEY HACK.
Benton County Farmer Itecoyf s
Coin He Had Burled.
PAUK RAPIDS, Minn., May 31.—(Spe
cial.) — A Benton county farmer, who !
lost $1,600 in gold coin in the I
Hinckley five seven years ago, i
now stands a show of getting back his
money. It seems he buried that amount
under his house. The fire swept over
his home, leaving no trace of the build- :
Ing. I^ater he sold the land and the pur
chaser while engaged in digging a well
on the place struck the metal four feet |
below the Bui-face.
Benton county is practically without a
superintendent of schools, as the case
against Miss Mary Brett, successful
candidate, has gone by default owing to j
her failure to appear In court. The court j
has not declared O. P. Trace to be the
next superintendent.
The $12,000 deposited by the people of
Foley as a bonus towards a new court
house, should that place win out in the
county seat fight. Is reported to have
fallen into unwilling hands. County j
Treasurer Wisniewski received that sum ;
two weeks ago and it apears he hail no
right to do so as an official, but could i
as a private citizen. He tried to deposit |
the $12,000 in the Benton county bank and !
it was refused by Banker Herrick.

DULUTH.May 31.—(Special.)—The White
Line Towing company, owners of the
steamer Bon Voyage, which was de
stroyed by fire near Houghton, Mich.,
about three weeks ago, resulting in the
drowning of four passengers, yestßiay
filed in the United States court a petition
for limitation of their liability. This
will have the effect of disposing of all
claims against them for damages, the
total of which would have been about
$20,000.
The law under which the petition is
filed was passed by congress fifty years
ago to encourage shipbuilding. Briefly,
it limits the liability of owners to the
value of the boats. If the boat is parti
ally destroyed the appraisers determine
the value of the wreck, and the sum ie
divided among the claimants. In the
case of the Bon Voyage the loss is prac
tically total, PJid the claimants will prob
ably get nothing.

WEEK IN WAUL STREET.
Startling Sin tup In Daily Btwln«»i m
Marked Feature.
NEW ! YORK, May St.—Bystreet's
financial review tomorrow will pay: At
the beginning of this week the transac
tions at the stock exchange fell off in a
way which gave Wall street not a little
anxiety. The foreign markets were
closed •on Monday for the Whitsuntide
holiday, which partly accounted for the
extreme dullness, but apart from this
there was every evidence that the Ameri
can public had liquidated the main .part
of its speculative holdings and was In
disposed at present to. take . further part
In the proceedings. . The heavy decrease
in the New York bank loans shown by
the two last clearing J house statements
afforded striking.evidence as' to this and
as to the effects of the recent severe
blow the speculative market , had . receiv
ed. It would seem, however, that the
liquidation-necessary under ~, the circum
stances had been finished and that the
losses incident | to the Northern Pacific
corner were in the main adjusted. Some j
anxiety made Itself felt in "tins latter'
connection as .to the position of the |
London short interest, though It would ■
seem that the amount and importance of j
the latter had been exaggerated. The
most cheering indications which the mar
ket received .was, -in . fact, - that settle
ments were being, made with the London j
bears m Northern - Pacific at 150 - for the i
stock, and that the fortnightly account '
which begun on - Wednesday.'.: was being I
carried, out without the dreaded compli- \
cations.. Up to this time our market
dullness was .attended by a heavy tone I
In the general list in spite of the firm
ness of a few issues In which \ manipula
tion and reports of coming, deals had an
effect. .The bearish operators were also
moTe active and the appearance. of , the
market justified to some .extent the ex
pectation of a further decline. . More
favorable - indications. at ', London ~. had,
however, a good Influence which — was
supplemented by decided' intimations that
the contending factions. in Northern Pa
cific had reached a. satisfactory, settle
ment as to the control of that company
and the 'bearings of the Burlington deal.
BEAD-STREET'S REVIEW.
VnspasonaWe Weather Has Affected
. Retail Trade nn Well as the Crops.
NEW YORK. May a.—reefs . to
morrow, will ; say: - Unseasonable weather
has been the key of the general situa
tion this week, discouraging -as it has
been to ■ retail trade.' in ; the; cities X and
country districts.alike. and retarding the
growth of most crops, bit ■' particularly
corn and' oats In the northern half ;of the
country and cotton at the South. Withal,
however.-there is a feeling preva'ent thp.t ;
a few ; weeks of warm, sunny weather,- a
decided lack of whi.h has . so i. far been
noted ■"' this Boring would ' do much to j
place matters commercial and agricul
tural in as good or better condition than
a year ago.
Apart from the features, the week has
been without much change, except that
a rather better spirit has been visible in
the industrial situation and that some
progress has been made toward a sett'.u
ment of existing labor troubles. The
situation in textiles has net changed ma.
terlally, except that real conditions in
the print-cloth market have been recog
nized by a heavy cut in the prce of that
product.
Wheat, including flour, shipments for
the week aggregate 4,138,970 hashe'.a,
against 4.796.054 bushels, corrected last
week, 4,533.140 bushels the corresponds*
week of 1900, 8,5^6,065 bushels in 18J9 and
5,248,086 bushels in 1898. From July Ito
date, this season, wheat exports" are
194,187,632 bushels, against 182,926,7(6 bush
els last season, and 213,489,240 bushels In

CHICAGO, May 31.—Robert J. Thomp
son, secretary of the Lafayette memorial
commission, has been notified that the
French government has promoted him in
the Legion of Honor of France in rec

ing the erection of the Lafayette monu
ment in Paris, which was begun July 4,
1K)O. The title conferred upon Mr.
Thompson is that of "Offlcier de la Le
gion d'Honneur."
This is the first promotion made of the
Americana decorated by the French gov
ernment last winter and is particularly
gratifying to the recipient for the reason
that the honor was conferred by the spe
cial action of the president of the French
republic instead of through the council
of the Legion of Honor, as it the usual
custom.

Ecuador on the Cumbal, of the W. It.

Ma.haffey said tonight that hr- and h s
companions felt themselves now fr. .
to speak of their troubles at West Point.
He said that the die affect on Which re
sulted in the demonstration of tbe oorps
of cadets was caused by the failure of
the superintendent to keep h:s part of
the agreement with the committee of
twelve, who called on Col. Mills to learn
his interpretation of the word '•hazing."
"The demonstration was not caused by
his efforts to suppress basing as stated
in Col. Mills' report." said the cadet.
"There has been no hi/ing for him t>
suppress sine.' the voluntary abol tion of
the practice by the corps. The judge
advocate general admitted tMs to us
after our interview with Secretary Root
on May 27. We know not a wor.l of the
evidence against us and th:- (ommJttee
did not Interrogate us abcut ourselves
but about other cadets. Neither did we
have an opportunity to refute anything
said about us.
"Secretary Root heard m through
courtesy to a senator, but he seemed
to have already determined to refuse a
reopening of the ease. He impressed
us as being disposed to be fair, "out he
had already been ■influenced by the re
port of the official board."
