Is a common exclamation at this season. There is certain bracing effect in cold air which is lost when
 the weather grows warmer; and when
 Nature is renewing her youth, her admirers feel dull, sluggish and tired.
 This condition is owing mainly to the impure condition of the blood. and
 it's failure to supply healthy tissue to the various organs of the body. It IS remarkable how susceptible the sys- tenn is to the help to be derived from good medicine at this season.

Sunday last, one of the Indian firemen on. the steamer Mohave, loaded to the guards with poor whisky, pulled off his shoes and threw them into the river. A few moments after, he jumped over board and the swift current soon carried him under the bridge. He struggled with the mad waters, which now and then took him down out of sight. The Indians on the shore were wild with ex- citement, One strong fellow, plunged into the river and rescued the drowning one, as it was ap- parent that he was helpless, and soon would go down for the last time. The bath sobered him off a little, as the water he swallowed, mixed with the ''rot-gut, rendered to weaken them both.
 The Fresno Expositor of week ago makes very pleasant mention of Misses Lola Avila and Rosita Purdy, for their rendition of man. dolin and piano selections at a gathering of members of the Young Mems Institute held at the house of MT.

Sam Purdy of this place, has be- come quite piano prodigy since her three-years schooling in Cali fornia.

Saturday night at - o'clock the CO.
partnership which has existed between
the stockholders of the Citizens Bank
came to an end after five years of joint
business connection, and new company
was Immediately formed. Some of the
old members retired and new ones were
taken in. The company as it exists now
is made up Of the following persons:
n. Mullen. Geo. Dochnc, Jacob Pfen-
ninger, Werner Boeseh, 0. NJ. Olsen,
Chas. Silverson, J. II. Vajen, f. Forster,

Directors were elected the next day
and the board consists of J. H. Vajen,
Geo. Doehnc, Werner Boesch, O. NJ. Oh
sen, Chas. SilveTson, Ferdinand Crone
and NJ. Mullen. NJ. Mullen was chosen
president and VIM. F. Setter, now of the
Brown County Bank was elected as cash
ier with VIM. E. Koch as assistant.
With these officers the bank starts out
thoroughly equipped. Mullen and Koch
have been connected in their present ca
pacities for years and in VIM, F. Setter
the new concern secures the services of
one of the shrewdcst and most active
bank cashiers in Minnesota. He retires
from the Brown County Bank at an in
creased salary, and there is not one who
thinks him undeserving, His place in
the Brown County Bank will probably
be filled at the annual meeting on Thurs
day.
The individual responsibility of the
new partnership is placed at $2,00O,000
and a glance ut the list CT stockholders
certainly reveals some of the strongest
backing in the city.
The retiring cashier, Mr.. Rudolph, has
served in that position for many years.
and in that time has acquired wide
reputation among banking institution,
and will no doubt be in similar posi-
ton ere long if he so chooses.
