A Sad Message.

From the Daily Tribune of Monday

     Rev. M. B. Lowrie, of Lake City, Minn., who preached for the Presbyterian congregation in this city yesterday, received a telegram this morning that his only son, a lad of 14 years, was critically ill.  Mr. Lowrie, who was intending to spend the week visiting among the congregation here and with his brother, Rev. J. G. Lowrie, of Niles, left for Lake City on the nine o'clock Grand Trunk train.  After the departure a telegram came that the boy was dead.  No further particulars are known.  Mr. Lowrie, of Niles, drove over this morning to meet his brother, but the latter had already left the city for his home.
