most violent storms ever known In Minnesota
swept over portion OF the Minnesota Valley So
far as now known 1t did not last more than thirty
minutes, but during that time the rain fell
literally in torrents, and the wind tore away the
roofs OF houses and demolished many light
edfces. The best Information indicates that the
storm extended no further east than st. Peter
Four miles and half east Of MankatO the track OF
the ST. Paul and Sioux City road was washed out
for about twenty five feet. There IL something re-
markable about this. The spot where the track ID
washed out Is perfectly level and there il no water

and now stands on 1t, ana In the place washed out.
How far the storm extended beyond MankatO Ia not

road, above Mankato was injured, but TO precisely
what extent Is not known. The Blne Earth river

Miss Mary W. Mitchell. who graduated at Bates

New England college. In its notice OF the exercises
the Lewiston Journal says:-Mary W. Mitchell, Of

American Civilization. Miss Mitchei Is the first lady

that, despite this illustration OF woman's rights In
her appearance on q commencement stage, she had
the good taste not to label her performance "WO-

fine scholar In her "thesis' she gracefully thanked
the class for standing by woman ut
the risk of their own reputation. H
woman has taste for music or other
art she would have her be musician or other
artist; she sees not why any woman has right to
be an idler any more than o man. Every human
soul, irrespective of race or color or sex should
have field for exercise and development. The per-
Torrance elected applause and ioral testimonials
showing that woman can get laurel wreaths in the
nineteenth century. AS Miss Mitchell advanced to
receive her diploma an Outburst OF applause from q
knot Of ardent women's rights friends showed that
these excellent enthusiasts regard the occasion as
