Glass Graduated from Minneapolis BusI-
ness College Last Night.
The Minneapolis Business College saw
a red-letter day in it's history yesterday.
The program for the commencement, tho

instution OF the kind in the west. The
class exercises were considered by those
who are capable of judging as being very
fine. They clearly demonstrate the su :
perior quality of students attending the
institution and the strong foothold the
school has already attained. The address
by Rev. G. l.. Morrill, on 1.-The Golden
Fleece was received with great enthu2
sasm L being we'll filled with good advice

DON'T. NEED MONEY I
The Rock Island ;sAbandons $3.50, ,OO0,-
= 900 Bond ISSue t$s%sfsss,:5.:54 M

saS New York, Dec. 23. Direct ofs of
the Rock Island company have de-
cided to abandon the great $25O,000,-
600 bond issue, announcement of
which was made last summer, says the
Herald. This decision will be an
nounced to the stockholders at the ad-
journed annual meeting at Davenport,
Iowa, on Jan. q. The reason for the
decision is that the directors deem it
inadvisable to carry out the scheme
which involved all the issues of the
various controlled lines. AS the COM
pany is said not to be in need LOT
money, there is no necessity for its
consideration.
