WRECK ON THE INFORMATION

The first weekend special to Inter-
national Falls was derailed by wreck
ers short distance north of Nisswa on
It's trip back Monday morning. Fully
sixty five passengers, including NJ. NJ
Williams of this city, were aboard at
the time of the accident, but outside
OF being knocked about considerably,
Charles Horn, the baggage man, was
the only person who was seriously
hurt. He sustained an ugly cash
above the eye, but is able to be about
now, That someone planned the
wreck of the special is shown by the
condition in which that section of the
track was found.
The fish plates at the point where
the derailment occurred had been
removed beforehand, ties had been cut
into with an AK and the nails had
been driven clear of the rails, thus
presenting loose rail for the train
to pass on, and some 500 feet back of
where the wreck occurred, the switch
to what is known as the sink hole spur
was disconnected This latter defec-
ton the special successfully passed
over, but had it not, the train would
have gone over the embankment into
what is known as the sink.hole
swamp, and many lives would have
been lost.
The train did not take to the side of
the loose rail neither. in the derail-
ment, as would be supposed, but after
tearing up four car lengths of track
the engine plunged in the bank on the
other side and tipped halfway over
the side of the cut, the baggage cal
took similar position, and the
smoker and day coach were derailed
and tilted upward
It is not known who were respon-
sible for the work.

Rev. G. A. Billig made formal an

the Congregational church last Sunday
OF his intention to resign the pastorate
Of the First congregational church Of
this city at the close of his month g

During the two years residence in
this city Rev. and Mrs. Billig have
endeared themselves in the hearts of q
large circle of friends, both in church
work and social life of the city. AS
pastor OF the Congregational church
mr. Bllilg has proved himself of in
calculab!e worth to his congregation,
by the able manner in which he has
administered to them. His sermons
have ever been of knowledge, and
have always teemed with the good I'd
be derived from them. THROUGH the
efforts of Mr.. Billig and his WORTHY
help mate, the services at the Congre-
gational church have been raised to a
very high class, and it was largely
though his 1nstrumentallty that the
modern pipe organ was Installed in the
church last winter.
1t is Mr.: and Mrs. g. "A. sBillie s
plan to sail from Montreal for England
on July 10th, and going to London
they will take year or more sojourn
there and in most Of the larger cities
OF Europe, devoting most of the time
to study.
The chairman of the board of trus-
tees of the church has been authorized
to appoint committee OF five to make
arrangements for filing the vacancy
during the month of July, and to issue
a call tor a regular pastor to succeed
Mr.. Billig.

uNsAvoRY TRADE METHODS.
Chinese Commerce Injured Ey Un
scrupulous American Adventures.

]. L. Rodgers, American Consul
General at Shanghai, deplores the
methods practised by a certain class
Of unscrupulous Americans who have
been operating in China and impos-
ing upon its people to the detriment
CT American trade. He says:
There are many things which can
be given as current reasons for re-
tarding American trade in the Orient.
The advent of class of Americans
like those who came from Manila ar
ter a brief experience there, and
these who tried their fortunes in con-
nection with the events of the Russo
Japanese war, has done a great deal
to injure the American name and
reputation with the Chinese. This
class, unusually INDECENT, has, by rea-
son of imposition upon the Chinese,
destroyed to some extent conf,
dence which has existed for many
years and which had borne good
fruit. Inadequate laws, under the
eXtra-territorial right, are largely re-
sponsible for such condition, since
the consular officer is rendered prac-
tically powerless IN the most import
ant cases-thcse calling for the re-
turn of fugitives from justice.
However, this class in all the i'm
portant treaty ports is being reduced
to a minimum, owing to the restora-
tion of peace and the growing inn
preston that China is no longer re-
garded as paradise for the fugitive
from America, the camp follower, the
adventurer from Manila and the pro.
verbal beachcomber indigenous to
this part of the world. Nevertheless
there are good reasons for saying
that every American firm which con-
templates sending a representative 70
China should be very certain of his
character, and, other things being
equal, should choose the quiet, order
ly person rather than the reverse
type, in spite of the current opinion
that such are indicted for the Orient
