Letter From Dr.. Sverre
Written on Shipboard in the
Middle of the Atlantic Ocean

MIR. FeatherStOn, Editor
Sisseton Weekly Standard,
SisSeton. S. D..
Dear Sir:
At mid ocean-half way over
the seal thought about my
promise to write to your good
Sisseton and Roberts county
people from the steamship,
United States.
Well, there is nothing to see
now but the big ocean-the At
c-everywhere, once in a
while a springer, and in the air a
few sea gulls following us, and
for few nights bright stars and
half moon in the sky.
We have had stormy weather
during most of the trip, with
snow falling frequently. In all
there are between 1000 and 100
people on board from all parts,
including one of your Roberts
county farmers, Christian
Gudem.
We all are keeping from sea-
sickness fairly we'll and amuse
ourselves in the best possible
way. The other day we had a
fine visit from Santa Claus him
self, all dressed up in fine style,
with two officers by his side, and
gave out Christmas presents to
every child on board. We have
elegant music which helps short
en- the time very much. The
food is good and all kinds OF
plays are indulged in on the deck
when the weather permits. Yes
terday, though, very sad affair
happened, when % yeal
old Norwegian boy, Tobias
Omlie, died on board. He had
been sick for long time; expect
ed to die, but wanted to die in
his native country. l never saw
a more impressive funeral thar
this one. All the passengers
around; officers and men in thei1
uniforms formed an espalier
the Norwegian flag went up tt
half mast, and music anG
songs befitting the occasion were
rendered. The captain himself
performed the ministerial ordea
in a very dignified manner.
The coffin was decorated in tn,

NO FREE RIDES
FOR THE BLIND

The public service commission of
Indiana has entered an order provid-
ing that the blind may not ride free
of charge on street ears in Indiana
hereafter. The order of the commits
sion was entered on a petition from
residents of Terre Haute calling at
tention to the practice of the company
in Terre Haute of allowing blind per
son to ride free on the street cars.
The railway tracks and crossings at
grade in that city are so numerous
that it is exceedingly dangerous for
blind persons to trayel from one part
Of the city to another except on street
cars.
The order of the commission states
that the term blind" as used in the
petition, evidently referred to class
of citizens and not to a body of in
mates of any "eleemosary or CHART
able institutions" free transportation
being allowed to the latter under the
utilities act
The blind can not be included in
the class of destitutes or homeless
persons" the order said in denying the
petition. The purpose of the legis
lature is to prevent public utilities for
any purpose from extending gratuities
in any way of service or commodity al
the expense of the patrons who pay
for their service. Electric Railway

EXPOSE STUDENTS
TO SCARLET FEVER

Because the 400 children of Garfield
School have been exposed to scarlet
fever, the health authorities have or
dered the building closed today, to be
fumigated. Regular sessions will be
resumed tomorrow.
Three cases have been found in one
family. The condition of the oldest
child, who first contracted the disease.
did not demand the attention of a
physician. and the child attended
school every day. The presence of the
fever was not known until the brother
and sister became sick and were
compelled to remain at home.
The health officers are asking the
cooperation of the citizens to prevent
the spread of the disease. They ask
when the children do not feel we'll the
parents keep them at home, and ii
they can not afford to call in a physi-
clan, TO notify the health offices, and
one OF the school inspectors will be as
signed to diagnose the case.

that monument be erected in honor

In practically every other county

EXCITED PERSONS
LEAVE PACKAGES

That persons who are travelling get
excited and nervous and do not know
what they are doing or where they are
going is the observation of railroad
brakemen and conductors.
At the Pennsylvania station is a
large chest in which articles are kept
which are left on the trains, Hardly
train pulls into the static. hat does
bring with it some lost art!3.1: so the
chest fills up every week or so.
Owners for some Of the things are
found by telegraphing ahead, but
many things remain unclaimed for
weeks and are finally sent to the Pitts
burg offices. The variety of bundles
and packages rivals the display in the
window of a second hand store.
Today the chest contained large
red comfort, a cushion, overshoes, a
shirt waist, gloves, hats, baby clothes
canes, umbrellas and a number OF
packages which remain unopened.

The fertilizers are compliments of
The American Agricultural Chemical
