Ten People Injured and Much Property Dc.
stroycd in South Dakota.

Huron, S. D., June ia cyclone
passed over the extreme southeast cor

BLcNOIN's TRUNKS
Located ia Boston, Where n, Had Sold With
Contents for SIS.

Boston, June 16.-Yesterday, Special
Officer Chapman of the Joy street sta
ton, found man who moved two
trunks and tool chest for ]. Wilfred
Blondin, and with the assistance Of
this man the trunks and the tool chest
were found, and are now held at the
police station. That they are Blondin's
trunks can hardly be questioned for in
one was found paper bearing his
name, and in others was the wearing
apparel of his wife, which has been
positively identified by Mrs. Hannigan
who saw Mrs. Blondin often when she
wore the. garments.
The trunks were taken from Blond
ms room, i3 Green street, by the ex-
pressman, who delivered them to the
store of the secondhand dealer at 1853
Merrimac street, where Blondin sold
them for SIS.
This fact of the disposal of his wife's
clothing by Blondin, and the fact that
she was not seen alive after the after
noon of April %, when Mrs. Hannigan
saw her go into her room, exclaiming
as she went, He will kill me-" and
wearing the clothing which was found
in the Chelmsford woods. are links in
the chain of circumstantial evidence
which has strengthened the belief of
the police that Mrs. Blondin was MUIR
dered by strangulation in the little
room on the top floor of Mrs. Hanni-
gan lodging house at i3 Green street,
that afternoon.
The finding of the AK in the brook
near where the head was found, also
strengthens this theory. for the police
say it is probable that the body was
taken to the woods where it was found
and beheaded there.

REV. WIN. DEWITT HYDE
D,lisers Bacca!asssx!o Sermon to Harvard
Seniors and an immense Audie c..

Cambridge. Mass, June 1G.-The
college yard, this afternoon, anI
marched to the chapel, where
the baccalaureate sermon was
preached by Rev. VIM. De.
Witt Hyde of Bowdoin college. The
seniors were all in caps and gowns and
over 400 of them went into the chapel,
led by the class officers. The chapel
was filled to overlooking with the stu
dents of the three lower classes and
strangers. Music was rendered by the
college choir, and the baccalaurcate
hymn by John Gully Cole of the senior
class, was sung.
Mr.. Hyde made short prayer and
then preached from the text, Luke.
ix:23.50: ''He that is not with me is
against me; he that is not against you
is for you
He said that the first of these laws
was in force largely in college life. The
influence in general was to make q
good fellow and gentleman out of
even the swelled headed man and by
the junior year most men who were
not against you were for you. 1t was a
close community. In the outer world
into which they were going the con-
trasted law was in force. If a man was
not with you he was against you. In
college the tendency is good. In .he
world it is the other way. The preceptS
| were:
First, give your best. Do not look
for place ready made to fit you. but
| fit yourself for a place. A French writ
| err explains Anglo-SaXOn superiority
on the ground that young Anglo Saxon
sets out to make a career for himself
| while the young Frenchman waits for
his father to provide a government Of
| flee. a wife and dowry. Support the
government; do not seek to be sup
ported by it.
| Second, take nothing you do not pay
for at its full price. Incur no debts,
take no rebates or discounts, or favors,
or passes gained through influence or
political pull" One half of the great
| world you now enter are women. The
best thing in the world is a fond wom-
ans love. You can pay for it with
nothing less precious than the entire
respect and devotion of your own
| heart. To receive woman's love and
| offer in payment mere transient and
unmeant cndearment, or worse still to
offer money. is the meanest form of
| getting something for less than its
price.
Third. be brotherly. You remember
how disagreed BILE it is to have young
| fellows coming here with their heads
full of their own family. or wealth,
or school achievements or personal i'm
portancc. and how essential it was to
give them to understand that the uni
versity was of quite as much conse-
quence as they thought themselves to
! be. When you go out into the world
do not make the mistake that these
swclled hca ded fellows made when they
came here Do not hold yourself aloof
from your hard working plain living
brothers.
Fourth. be self sacrificng. These
great social claims and clamor of
our petty appetites and pas
sions never coincide but are in perpet-
ual warfare. Serve the larger good and
live in loyalty to every claim or hui
| man brotherhood. in obedience TO every
mandate Of the social law of God.
