Minister Resigns.
Rev. H. Nelson Tragitt About to Close
His LabOrs in Milbank.

At the annual meeting of the
Episcopal church society Of this
city last Monday evening the fol
lowing officers of the church
were elected: G. G.. Middlebrook,
warden; Dr.. J. w. Ross, clerk;
and Phil c. Saunders, treasurer.
The church has had a splendid
year, and is in good financial
condition, with money in the
treasury after all obligations
have been paid.
The resignation of H. Nelson
Tragitt as rector which had been
rendered was deeply regretted
by the members of the church,
as it is by citizens generally, who
through his long sojourn in the
city, having been in charge of the
church here for the past II years,
has become. a well known and
we'll beloved factor in the church
life Of the community, and will be
greatly missed Mr.. Tragitt 5
resignation will not take effect
until the first of July, and he has
not decided definitely where he
will take up his future work, but
will probably remove to either
Montana or Missouri, the last
named state being the diocese
where Bishop Johnson, formerly
bishop Of South Dakota, is now
engaged.
Besides the church here. Mr..
Tragitt has for number of years
had charges at Webster, Bristol,
Groton, Sisseton, Wilmot and
Ortonville, and at all of these
places except the last named he
organized the society, and has
since been holding services as
his time permitted.
The church has not decided as
to what i'll be done in regard to
his successor.

City Election Next Week
1t Promises to be Very Quiet Affair
this Year, with but One Ticket
in the Field.

Next Tuesday comes the city
election. The voting will be con-
fined this year to the election Of
one Alderman in each Of the
three wards, and as there is but
one candidate filed from each
ward there will not be much ex-
element on this line. The can
didates for whom petitions have
been filed are each of them at
present members of the council
up for reelection. They are
Levi Schnabel in the first ward,
II. f. Nelson in the second ward,
and DR.. j. w. Ross in the third
ward Their work on the coun-
Gil appears to have been pretty
generally satisfactory to their
constituents, and their reelection
follows.
The only chance for a contest
will be on the saloon question,
but as there has been no cam
paign made this year, the voter
will simply vote his convictions
on this question without outside
influence.

Building COllapses.
The Walls of the Post Office Building
Fail. No One Injured in the
Catastrophe.

"A very unfortunate accident
happened last Monday morning
about eleven o'clock, when the
rear walls of the post office build
ing collapsed. A basement bad
recently been dug out under the
building by Messrs Voss & Lues-
chow, and concrete walls were
being put in, but the builders
failed to properly protect the
the under walls, and the frost
going out of the ground caused a
cave in of the north east corner
and consequent fall Of the brick
walls, which largely fell over to
the outside, letting the roof and
ceiling down.
At the time of the catastrophe
Postmaster Nixon and his three
assistants, Charles McWaters,
Clarence Johnson and Miss Ethel
Hulwick were in the rear of the
building and Hans Lilliskov in the
front part, and they all had just
time to escape without sustaining
any serious injury, though Miss
Hulwick was slightly struck by
some falling pieces. The front
wall and side walls to half way
back of the building remained
standing, the roof and ceiling re-
naming in place for about half
the length of the building. Two
men, Carl Pritz and M. H. Tobin,
were in the basement at the time
puttingin underpinning, but they
also saw the danger and were
able to get out before the walls
toppled over. 1t was very fortu
nate that all were able to make
their escape without harm.
The building was erected in
1908, and had been occupied as
post office and news stand since.
1t was owned by w. w. Downie,
and immediate steps have been
taken to replace it. The loss will
be between 1000 and $4,000.
The post Office has been tenn
porarily removed to the Chard &
Gilbertson building until the for
mer location has been put in con
dition again. The John Lilies
kov confectionery stand has also
been set up in the same building
in connection with the postoffice.
