One Of the worst smash-ups ever ex-
perienced III tho local railroad yards
was that which occurred yesterday
morning about six O'Clock, as the re-.

ton now lies at his home in the Sperry
addition suffering from q badly
spratned ankle and several bruises,
sustained while escaping from the
switch engine to avoid being injured
in a previous collision which led up
to the one which resulted in such
heavy loss. Two refrigerator cars,
two box cars and .'dago" shanty on
a fat car were put out Of commission.
They were piled up In a>lsrge heap
across the tracks and we're reduced 10

wreck is near the railroad carpenter

empty box cars, in charge Of Conduc-

trains we're running at low rate Of
speed. Engineer Pelton was immedi-
ately warned of his danger and re-
versed the engine, but too late to
avoid the collision. At the same time
he managed to escape from the engine

New Musical instrument for Church.

When the Mems Club of St. Luke's
church was organized last spring one
of its first objects was to raise funds
for pipe organ for the church. Sub.
scriptiOn lists were circulate d, and the
concert given some weeks ago was. for
the same purpose. At the last meet
ing of the club at the home Of Judge
Nordin last Thursday evening the
treasurer reported that there were
enough funds on hand to warrant the
club to 60 ahead and purchase an or
gan. A committee of ladies that had
been to see an organ firm in st. Paul
reported that sitter thoro examination
they. had como to the conclusion that
agood pipe organ could not be bought
for: less than q, 500 Cheaper grades
require almost continuous repairs and
therefore become very costly in the
long run. They therefore Recommend

vocation, an Instrument that 10 bet5er
fitted for a small church than . large
pipe organ, and can be bought great
deal cheaper. The instrument selected
by them is listed at 81 200. After some
discussion the club una nimous1y voted
to authorize the president and treas
urer, Messrs. Russell Spicer and
Alton Crosby, to purchase the in
strument recommended. It is expect
ed that the instrument will be here in
about week and the work of INSTALL
ing it will commence Immediately on
its arrival. When this organ is in
place St. Luke's church will have the
finest musical instrument in the city.

Last Sunday was great day for
the Norwegian Lutheran Free church
of the county, but especially for the
Eagle Lake congregation. The Or
phans' home, the splendid charitable
institution that has just been erected
in the midst of the large and pros
porous Norwegian community CENTER
ing about Eagle lake, was formally
dedicated to its noble purpose.
It was an ideal November day-the
sunny, balmy and hazy weather of the
farfamed late Indian summer of Mime
sota., During the morning hours a
large number Of convey anees from t. 9
neighborhood of Eagle lake, from the
city of Wihmar and from points in
all the settlements of the descendants
of the Morse in the county, might be
seen: travelling over the rough roads
converging at the scene of festivities.
That the pride and interest In the new
institution is not confined to the de-
nomination immediately concerned
was apparent from the number of
members of the other church bodies
who were among the visitors. 1t is
estimated that fully thousand peo-
pie attended the exercises =,
The morning services began at the
church at 1890 O'Clock, Prof. "A. >Rel-
land of Augsburg Seminary at Mime
apolis preached the dedicatory SER
mon, using as his subject, James $500
The church was crowded to the doors
by attentive listeners, and many stood
outside. After the sermon q cash
Offering was taken up for the benefit
of the new institution, which amounted
to s152.90. Then the gathering march
ed to the home, where the dedication
service proper was conducted BY Rev.
=. Mattson. The clergymen attend
ing took their position on the south
end Of The yer randa and the children
Of: the home with ]. Sister Superior
Mathilds we're IN the north end: BE-
fore :pronouncing the words: declaring
the building dedicated, Rev. Msttson
read the biblical story OF the good
Samaritan, and applied the. acts of
true charity as defined by the Saviour
in this parable to the building and
maintenance of this home as a refuge
for those who had lost their natural
protectors and had been robbed OF
the opportunities and blessings of 8
good home. :: ->.': + -. r, r
At the conclusion the scene was
photographed by c. A. Baklund.
Itwas announced that all were in.
vited to partake of lunch to be serv.
ed in the basement by the ladies OF
the Eagle Lake church. Itwas big
undertaking to feed such a multitude,
but it was most successfully carried
out. 49, .%:s''. ,
The doors of the home were thrown
open to the visitors and it was their
privilege to inspect the institution.
The building consists Of the basement,
two stories and . roomy attic. .s$s al
the floors are divided By . wide corri-
dor into two parts and which gives
access to thevarious rooms. On the
first floor, to the left of the entrance,
are the reception room and parlor; to
the right are the superintendent's office
the Sister Superior's Office and a
consultation room. On the west side
Of that floor are the girls, dormitor-
les, closets, toilet rooms, and on the
