The Duluth Herald contains the following telegram concerning the wreck of the new week-end train on its return trip to Brainerd, early Monday morning: Brainerd, Minn., June 1.—(Spec- ial to The Herald.)—A special train on the Minnesota & International railroad was ditched by wreckers near Niawa this morning and the engine and three cars derailed. The fish plates had been removed ties pulled out and the spikes driven free from the rails. A switch a hun- dred feet north had been disconnect- ed. The train trailed the switch, but had it been derailed the entire train would have gone over an em- bankment intoa swamp. Charles Yorn, baggageman had his head cut and arm and side bruised. No one else was injured. There is no clue to the guilty parties. The same switch had been tampered with before. Fine Farming. T. H.

AGAIN DEFER OPENING Vesselmen on Great Lakes Declde to Keep Boats in Port, DULL SEASON IS INDICATED Action Taken Affeots Members of the Carriers’ Association, Which Controls Ninety Per Cent of the Total Tonnage on the Lakes. Cleveland, June 2.—At a meeting of the Lake Carriers’ assoclation held here it was decided to defer the open- ing of navigation on the lakes for at least two weeks. At the expiration of that period another meeting will be held when action may be taken to still turther delay the sending out of the ore and coal carriers. About 90 per cent of the entire tonnage in the ves- sel carrying trade on the Great Lakes 13 represented in the Lake Carriers’ association. Because of the fact, that 80 far as can be estimated at the pres- ent time, only about 25,000,000 tons of ore are scheduled to be brought down the lakes this season, against more than 40,000,000 tons last season, the vesselmen propose to keep their boats in port until very late. It is sald now that the vessels may not be started out until July 1, unless conditions ma- terially change within the next two Wweeks. Presbyterians for Prohibition.

The very name of Libby, Belle Isle and Andersonville are symonomous with cruelty, suffer- ing and death.” The experiences of the northern soldiers in these filthy places were re- volting in the extreme. ‘*Nearly half a century has passed since the close of the war,’”” said Mr. Wright, ‘‘and the bitter feeling be- tween north and south has almost, if not entirely, disappeared amid the wonderful activities, advancements and problems of our national life. Yet we cannot blame some of these old soldiers if they cannot, even at this day, entirely overcome the feeling of hatred engendered by these terrible prison eaperiences. ‘It was the loye of eountry, the de- terinination to keep intact the heritage handed down to us by our fathers, the true spirit of patriotism that, with a power as irresistable as instinct in animals brought these heroes to the front.”” FEEER ‘“True patriotism,’’ said the speaker “‘ig the spirit that leads a man who lives in this country, not only to fight for it bus to die for it. ‘It is very easy to profess patriot- ism but it takes the true patriot to exercise it and mway the day never come when the example of these heroes shall be forgotten. ““This patriotism did more for the country, north and south alike, than all the years of the republic before. It not only accomplished its direct purpose, the preservation of theunion, but it gave freedom to the slaves and destroyed the constant contention over trifles and centered the purposes of | the people on a national life,’’ * R R ‘‘Someone has said of the civil war,’”’ said Mr. Wright, ‘‘that it crowded four centuries of progress into four years of war. Up to that time our republican institutions had been looked upon as mere experiments, and monarchical - Europe generally believed that the republic was ’but a rope of sand that would part the moment the least strain was brought to bear upon it.’ -But at its close, all the nations oftheearthhad been taught the lesson that America in arms could defy the world. And lest they forget that lesson in the passage of years of peace, it was dramatically and forcibly repeated in the late Spanish war. ‘‘The one event necessary to demon- strate that the war had not only fully accomplished its purpose, the main- tainance of the union, but that the unification of the states and people was complete was the blowing up of the Maine in the harbor of Havanna. By that shock the whole country was electrified and cemented together in one solid, inseperable nation. The work of Lincoln and the boys in blue was complete. The old flag once more became the flag of the south as well as of the north. ‘‘And it is fitting here to pay our tribute to the gallant boys in brown, to the memory of the dead, in honor of the living. Both on land and sea these boys displayed the same eager spirit of patriotism, valor and devo- tion in '98 as did the boys in blue in 61.” CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE Paying Particular Attention to the Entertainment, Comfort and Con- venience of Ladies and Children.

Fond du Lac, Wis,, June 2.—Grant Poole, who shot and killed Mrs. &, H, Oryis at the Methodist church at Oal field as the congregation dispersed from the morning services, was cap- turéd by a farmer named Morgan near the village of Ladoga, eight miles from Oekfleld. Poole was turned over to officers and was at once brought to this city and landed in jail. Poole has been madly in love with Grace Orvis, the daughter of the dead ‘woman, and his attentions toward her have not been countenanced by the family or the young woman. Five years ago Poole tried to com- mit suicide by shooting himself, but was prevented. He was arrested and sent to the state hospital at Oshkosh. He was at that institution for three years and was then paroled. He went home and since then has worked en his father's farm. He was a visitor to the village every night, remaining there with relatives. Miss Orvis was employed in the bank at Oakfield and Poole hung about “The work of the Grand Army on | that-institution a great deal, seeking earth is finished,”” said Mr. Wright. to renew his attentions to the young “They have bequeathed to us the|Woman. : His victim was fifty years old and a daughter of Abel Bristol, the banker.
