new ALL.s1EEl POSTAL CAR
Southern Pacific Turns Out Most
Advanced Type

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3O.-From
designs of its own motive power engi-
neers, the Southern Pacific company's
Sacramento shops have just turned out
the most advanced type of all-steel
postal car. There is not scrap of
wood anywhere in the car except the
window frames. From wheels to roof
the car is of steel-frame, floors, Sides
and fittings
Besides cutting down the danger of
telescoping and reducing deterioration
to a minimum the value of the all-steel
postal car, the railroad officials say, is
that it protects the entire train from
the fire danger by interposing an un-
burnable barrier between the locOmo-
tive and the coaches. The additional
safety secured to postal employees and
the contents of the car, is another i'm
portant advantage.
In the new Southern Pacific postal
car, the main feature of the lower
framing are two massive 12-inch J.
beams that weigh 81 IL pounds per
foot. 1t is mainly due to these beams
that the steel car can withstand over
200 per cent. more shock than an ordl-
nary car with wooden sills. Monolith
laid over two courses of corrugated
steel forms the floors
Inside the car is lined with asbestos
while the ceiling like the outside and
the roof, is of steel plates. In every di-
rection the car is strongly braced, and
to take up heavy shocks on the END
frame a steel plate twenty inches wide
is riveted across the top framing. The
whole car is so completely bound to-

and after congratulations bad been
rendered the guests sat down to a
most tempting wedding supper.

dents Of this county and at both
places they we're very popular in the
circles in which they moved. Mr..

county, having been born there and
grown to a sturdy Young manhood.

among the people has given him a
fine standing in the community as a
worthy young man. Mr.. Patterson
is a young man who is we'll known

friendship of many by his energy and
evidence of his good habits.

ms SUBJECT f*Oor Dcmocracy's Great
est Problem. In it he discussed
several subjects In which the people
OF tins country are deeply interested
namely, that Of the saloon. the in
difference OF the voters of this
country when confronted with an
important proposition, the purging
OF the impurity in politics, and
other evils which he noted He
Urged the manhood Of the country to

He hoped that some influence in the
future years would be brought to
bear TO arouse the conscience OF the
public to its sense of dlty. Mr..
Smith expressed his thoughts in good
dlctlon and bis presentation CT his
orallCn was folceful and sincere.
CAM Riech, of B%rookings agricul-
tural college, was the closing speaker
and lie took for his subject. "a
Patriot of Two Nations,' in which
brought out the patriotic act of
Lafayette. when he left his country,
France, TO come 10 America in her
hour OF need, accepting an ordinary
citizenship as an evidence of his
loyalty and faith in the United
States. This was an act of sacrltice
wherein LAFAYETTE stood to lose all
and gain nothing except the graft
tude of the American people. On
his return to France he was thrown
INTO prison and after some years Of
incarceration he was released, living
to see the day come when practically
all that he fought against IN France
was defeated. Mr.. Reich appeared a
tritie nervous in his delivery, and
showed a lack of training, although
he made a sincere effort.
Aside from the oratlons two
musical numbers were given, when
Miss Beebe and Mr.. Hohson sang a
beautiful duet, and Mr.. Percy
Fullenwieder played a violin solo.
He had just arrived on the afternoon
train from Cincinnati, Ohio, to
accept a position with the University
as teacher OF the violin, and he was
pressed into service. He played two
selections and demonstrated at once
that he was a master of the violin.
The applause that he received was

building.

first place is on between Brookings
and Nermillion, the aggies having
been able to carry things their own
way for several years, but with the
re-entrance of Nermillion into the as

much harder.
1t was a lively scene over at the
park when the first event was called.
The students We're scattered over the
ground and with their college colors,
remnants and streamers flying in the
air the sight was a very pretty one.
The executive committee met this
morning at the Widmannn to pass

representation, who came up to back
their orator, in whom they have great
confidence in winning the contest.

The Decision of Judges.

While the violin solo number was
being given the judges on delivery
handed in their markings and the
officers made up the totals. When
President Salmon appeared on the
platform, there was b~reathless
anticipation as to who was the win
ne1-Yankton or Mitchell. When he
announced that the second place was
awarded to Yankton, the applause
broke forth, and he had to wait a
moment before he could make him
self head to state that Mitchell had
been awarded first place.
The markings we're very close and
Noryell won by one point, his total
being 10 and that Of Warren's being
IL. On though. and co IMPOSITION
Warren was given two firsts and one
second, while on delivery he received
two seconds and one third. NorveIl

thought and composition, and on
delivery he received two firsts and
one second. Huron was awarded
third place, Smith was marked first
in delivery by n of the judges,
Brookings got fourth place and Red
field fifth.
The judges on thought and COM
position were: Prof. Il. G. True

mott, Of the University OF Mime
sofa. The judges on delivery we're:
Doane Robinson, Pierre, E. c.
Ericsson, Elk Point. and Dean
Thomas Sterling, Of Vermillion.
No soone vas the decision an
nounced than did the University
students make a rush for Norvcll and
raising him on their shoulders they
carried the Young mar in triumph
across the stage. The students
crowded out of the hall and out on
the streets. where they turned their
lungs loose ana uln much violence
to the still night dir.
1t was conceded that it would be
close between Mitchell and Yank-
ton. but when the decision was
rendered il vas the general opinion
that it had been given fairly and
that the best man won.

brought many successes to the college,
