Summer school.


Owing to the fact that the state sum-
mer schools will be of only one months
duration, and that many who attend do
not derive the benefit they should from
them since the greater part OF this time
is employed in forming classes, and that
many spend a great part of the time in
some classes for which they are either too
far or not far enough advanced, the
Sank Centre Academy remains in session
the entire summer, and permitting each
student to take up such work as he or
she most needs. Those desiring book
keeping or shorthand may pursue these
studies if desired. Send for new circular.

A. H. Petit and U. M. Tobey went
to st. Cloud the other day to call on
Major Baldwin, the congressman from
this district. Relative to meeting held
there on that occasion the Journal Press
says:
He looked aboat him. They were not
all present but they continued to "brace"
him during his stay. There was A. H.
Petit, the Sank Centre candidate for
the land office recistership, accompanied
by U. M. Tobey, an ex-postmaster OF
Sank Centre, and who has desire to re-
peat the offense; the huge form OF Joseph
Kraker, the wealthy Melrose merchant,
doomed up and whispered few words
of commentator in his ear for friend
who was after a loaf and fish. :
They were all Stearns county men, and
the session of an hour was consumed, so
those who attended say, in bringing to
Major Baldwin's attention the necessity
of retaining both land office positions in
this county. Some eloquent speeches
are said to have been made by Mr..
Macdonald, and the representatives of
Mr.. Petit, who himself sat down in
the lobby of the hotel. - y
From Democrats who have had confden-
tial talks with Baldwin it is learned that
Petit of Sank Centre and Ellenbecker of
Little Falls, stand about an equal sho w.
1t is probable that the st. Cloud demo-
Gratis, if they find they are all out of the
race, will throw their support to Petit
and keep the Office in the county if
possible.

wrecked.

A fearful wreck occurred on the Great
Northern early Saturday morning which
resulted in the destruction of eight
freight cars and the killing of twenty
five horses. The freight train from the
west, with several car loads of horses
from Montana on their way to New
York, broke in two on the grade west of
the city, and the engineer, ignorant of
the condition of the train, stopped at the
Little Falls junction, and the rear cars
crashed into the forward ones with ter
rihc force. Cars were telescoped and
crushed like egg shells, and the ruins
were piled up on the side OF the track in
a confused heap. The only person injured
was brakeman on the top of the rear
section of the train, who was thrown
completely over the telegraph wires and
and landed against wire fence. He
escaped with trifing injuries, his ankle
being sprained. Twenty horses were
instantly killed, and FIVE or six others
had to be snot their injuries being such
that recovery was out of the question
There were several car loads of nerchan-
disc broken up and scattered about, in
Guiding a large number Of eggs. The
wreck occurred on the big FIJI and imme-
diately oyer the stone arch bridge. A
wrecking crew from st. Cloud was soon
at work, and the tracks were cleared so
that the night passenger train from the
west passed the wreck about nine O'Clock
in the morning, six hours after the
wreck. A tramp crawled out of the
ruins of one Of the cars uninjured, but
badly shaken up and frightened The
loss to the company will approximate
ten thousand dollars. No fault attaches
to any one, as it was an accident of a
character not preventable BY any degree
of care or foresight. The bodies of the
horses killed were burned along til,
track where they lay, Hundreds of oul
citizens made trip to the wreck, which
was a sig hit to behold

Assignee VIM. Rain, by Bruckart &
Brewer, his attorneys, has filed in the
district course the inventory of the as
sets and liabilities in the matter of the
assignment of Simon Kuhn of Melrose.
The inventory discloses the amount OF
the liabilities to be about $4,000, with
assets amounting to $11 1000. The credi-
tors are principally St. Paul Minneapo-
lis and Milwaukee parties. The assets
consist of stock and fixtures, $5,115;
notes and book accounts, $4,000; other
assets, 81 900. MIR. Kuhn was dealer in
general merchandise at Melrose and the
failure was brought about by reason OF
the general financial stringency and the
impossibility Of making collections. 1t
is barely possible that an arrangement
will be made with the creditors whereby
Mr.. Kuhn will be permitted to resume
his business. The failure is not con-
sidered bad one for the reason that his
assets are sufficient, if properly handled,
to nearly meet the iabilities.-[ Journal
