When John G. Nelson, of Fergus Falls, ar

him a telegram from Dwight NJ. Sabin re-
ouesting him to meet Sabin on important
business. what does it signify? 1t was sim
rular coincidence that Mr.. Sabin should be at
the Merchants simultaneously with the pres

might be thought unfortunate that Mr.. Mel

Knute Nelson impressed him positively with
the belief that knute would not, by any

The st. Louis train of the Chicago, Bur

Cured at the north end of the yard at the
point where the tracks leading to the Min

engine separated from the tender, and.
after running short distance. fell on its
side directly across the east

The tender was turned squarely around and
also fell on its side. The wheels of the
baggage car and passenger coaches were
buried in the soft sand UP to their trucks,
and, topping over, also fell upon the east
bound tracks. The engineer and fireman
both stuck to their engine. and, strange to
say, were not injured. But three passengers
were on the train and all escaped without
injury. The Burlington limited. which
left Minneapolis at $50, was tagged and
sent back and the running of all trains on
the Manitoba, between Minneapolis and St.
Paul suspended. A large Wrecking crew
has been put to work, but it is anticipated
that the wreck cannot be cleared away be-
fore morning, and arrangements have been
made to use the Minneapolis o5 st. Louis

Minnesota farmers have much to be thank

very favorable for fall plowing and general

some localities in the state have suffered Sc

BAD MANNERS.

It was very unmannerly conduct in DIR.
HOLMES to take advantage Of the latitude
given him at the recent Harvard anniver-
sary celebration to slap Princeton III the
face, and that. too, in the presence OF the
venerable and distinguished president of
the famous old college. The president of
Harvard has deemed it proper to write a
letter to Dr. MCCosH, rendering an apology
for the insult and assuring him that every
one condemned DR.. HOLMES for his re-
marks. Why DR.. HOLMES was induced to
do such an ungracious thing no one seems
to know. There was no possible excuse for
it, as the kindest relations exist between
Princeton and Harvard. They stand as the

Cleveland has reduced insult and rudeneSS
to an art. He has hurt the feelings of every
body who was attached to him. There was
Mr.. Smith. the law partner of Smith Weed.
Smith, in the last campaign for Cleveland,
was at the head of the executive committee
of the Democratic state committee; that eX-
ecutive committee did the work, and Smith
was about all there was OF it. He worked like
an Indian Oh the war trail, and got out the
vote to carry New York state. which was the
hardest kind of work. He received the ap-
pointment of third assistant secretary OF the
treasury Considering that he knew Cleve-
land very well, be went up TO see him one
dav on behalf of the chief man in the Mani
toba railroad. This was a friend of Smith.
The Manitoba railroad is double line from
St. Paul, Mimi, into the Winnipeg country of
Canada 1t has extensive lands, and is
great property. Some legislation of an i'm
portant character was wanted for the ROAD,
and Mr.. Smith went up to see Cleveland an
asked him to be good enough to sign the bill
on behalf of his friend. He is your friend,
is hep said Cleveland, with a most tyranncal
look ''then I'll veto the bill" He did veto
the bill, and Smith resigned and the man
gives him S30,00O year to be counsel of the
company, not so much because he needs him
as to show that there are different men in
this world to appreciate an obligation from
