The supreme court has rendered
the following decision with regard TO
the rights of passengers travelling over
roads with baggage when the same is
checked and re-checEed: Where a |
railroad cOmpany's trains, by an agree
ment with another company, regularly |
enter and depart from the depot of the |
latter, and inirusts 10 il the business Of
handling and checking the baggage OF |
the passengers and furnishes Its own
checks thereof, such company must be
deemed the agent of the first named |
company in respect to such business.
The possession of Il baggage check by
railway passenger is prima facie evil
denCe that the carrier has received,
and Is in possession of his personal bag
gage, and where he delivers such
check 10 the agent OF q connecting rail
road and receives Its check in exchange
thereof, the presumption is, in the alb
sence OF proof 10 the contrary, that the
baggage Is received, in due course, by
the latter company, and It Is RESPONSE

The Baptist church, which is now
nearing completion, Is finished off in ash,
and Is an elegant structure inside as well
a outside. The most of the stained
glass windows are in, and they are very
pretty indeed. Among them is a me-
mortal window, put in by Mrs. Jennie
Durkee, in memory of her late husband,
who was for many years clerk of court
of Blue Earth county. This is one OF
the highest windows on the south side,
and bears the word Jennie" The
building is 10 be heated with hot air,
furnished by two furnaces in the base
ment. Ample ventIlatIng arrangements
are made, and the air will be pure, !
which certainly cannot be said of every
church in the city. The building will
be lighted by gas, the main chandelier, I
with its large reflector, being capable of
throwing a powerful light. The carpet l
for the building has already arrived, and &
is of pretty design. Upper rooms IN the s
towers viii hold the Sunday school IL
brary. The stage is well arranged, and ]
will hold both the pulpit and the choir. j
Back of this. and ordinarily screened by
II curtain, is located the large baptistry,
about four feet deep. Still in rear of {
this are two small dressing rooms. The
nearer the building approaches compile
ton the more perfect it appears in re- I
