Omaha near Hudson, Wis, Monday.
Two trains collided, killing five men
and in uring three, four of the five
killed being cremated. We are per-
sonally acquainted with both train
crews and two of the dead. We
sympathlze deeply with the bereaved
families and the train men in their
hour Of trouble. The conductor up
on W hom the greatest responsibility
rests is young man. and at the time
of his promotion was an old employe,

vices were held at the Congregational
church, when the Baccalaurate SER
mon was delivered to the graduating
class of 49,. Rev. McCune preached
the sermon, taking for his text Mark

loved him, and said unto him: One
thing thou lackest; go thy, way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give to
the poor, and thou shalt have treas
ures in Heaven; and come, take up
thy cross and follow, me. ~ The ser
mon was made very impressive by
the comprehensive Interpretation of

was displayed in abundance at the
church entrance, and the emblem
figures, "97, beautifully: made of
pansies, was placed on the wall be-
hind the altar. The church was
filled to overfowing, and all highly
