fact; that owing to excessive rate
business intres1s Of Minneapolis

den placed on them. The com
plaint pleads for a hearing before

sonable rates for all classes of
merchandise.

Notwithstanding the showery

the commencement exercises of

sional was an attractive feature
Of am impressive nature. The
light and pretty costumes of the
High School girls, were in pleas

of the faculty and the sober APP
parel of the young men. The pro-
cessional air was we'll chosen for
the purpose.
After the invocation by Rev. R

1t is not saying too much, to
assert that but few graduating

a commencement address so full

The south h-bound accommoda
tlon train ON the Nlilbank -Sisse-
ton branch of the Milwaukee
road, which left Sisseton ait 1852
Monday afternoon, was wrecked
ONE mile north of Peever while
running at a high rate of speed.
The train consisted OF the en-
glne and water ear, two reirig-
orator ears, a baggage car and a
combination smoker and day
coach. The engine and waiter csa.
did not leave the rails, but the
rest Of the train went in the
ditch, after bearing up the track
Ior fully two hundred feet, all
the cars turning over ON >their
side.
! The cause Of the wreck is prob.
lematical. The forward trucks
under the second Refrigerator
car left the track first, according
to trainmen, and it was probably
the bad condition Of this car whic]
Was responsible for the ditching
of the train, although The track
Was plainly in poor shape and the
speed of the train, according to
the passengers, was excessive at
the time the accident occurred.
News of the wreck was tele-
graphed TO Sisseton a very few
minutes after it occurred, and the
Company's physician, DR.. Brown
OF this city, hurried to the scene
in an automobile. DR.. Brown
was assisted in caring for the in.
jured by DR.. Pearson, OF Peever

Still With Us in Spirit

Dave Cinclair, who, up to a
few weeks ago, had been conduct
or on the Milbank- -Sisseton brancl
since the mind of man runneth
not to the contrary, is now run
ming ONE OF the MilwauRee's crack
coast trains between Aberdeen
and St. Paul. But that he has
not as yet got his mind thorough
ly on his new job was forcibly
evidenced the other day, when
a gentleman who was enrouie from
the coast to Sisseton presented
Cinclair with his ticket, shortly
after the latter took charge Of
the train at Aberdeen. Cinclair
forthwith stuffed the transporta-
tion in his pocket, and the man
wanted to know "why'', as he ha
been reliably informed that int
would have to use said transpor-
tation between Milbamk and Sisse
tom. Dave looked a little sheepish
as he fished the ticket out of his
pocket and handed it back to its
owner, reanarking as he did so:
"Well I'll be darned! / always
do that. You see, | ram ON that
branch so long that it sort of
got into my system, guess. And

that reads "Sisseton l think its
