enough left to do good business. But
there will be no need to pay out money,
as confidence is restored. All OF the

TO make large deposits of the receipts
that have accumulated while the
hanks have been closed. and many OF
those who withdrew their deposits
will return them to the bank vaults,

grateful relief to the business men to
whom they are necessity in the or

also to those who withdrew their de-

doubtless seen the folly of their
course, and as the banks will be in

anxious to replace their money where
it will be safer than under the carpet

should take most decided stand IN

The banks are solid institutions in
every respect and ought to receive
every dollar that is boarded up in
this vicinity. Their closing has been
a severe lesson to Mankato anj the
people should stand by them and see
that it is not repeated.

MR.. RULES SUCCESSOR.

Rev. John Hall left Saturday for
his home at Chicago. The quarterly
conference Of the M. e. church in
this city has unanimously requested
him to transfer from the Rock River
conference to the Minnesota confer
ence, with view to his being ap-
pointed as successor to Rev. +. NJ.
Rule, whose term expires this year.
Mr.. Hall is so we'll and favorably
known here that nothing need be
added, except the hope that he will
comply with the request OF the con-
ference. Rev. Mr.. Rule, by the way,
is said to be likely to step into the
shoes of Presiding Elder Hair, which
he would fill very acceptably.

Prof. Fiocci, an Italian chemist,
has made study of cats saliva. He
has found by experiment that when
cat ticks it's lips it spreads over them
a saliva in which there are SWarms OF
minute bacilli not free from danger
to human beings. When he inOculat-
ed rabbits and guinea pigs with this
noxious substance, they died within
twenty-four hours. He adds that it
is dangerous for old maids to kiss
their cats. The professor finds that
it is still more dangerous to kiss lap
dogs, for about their lips are found
bacilli which it is impossible to men
