The Bank of River Falls.

Owing to the stringency of the times.
as announced in our last issue, the
Bank of River Falls closed its doors
last week and called meeting of its
creditors to consider the situation.
The first meeting was held on the 10th
inst. and has been already reported in
our columns. The adjourned meeting
was held at Opera Hall on Thursday
evening of last week and was very
largely attended by those who held
the obligations of the bank. Few
speeches were made. 1t was evident
at the outset that the creditors of the
bank had come together prepared to
extend every reasonable aid to the
bank and all that was said expressed
without reserve confidence in the
bank officials and their management.
President Parker being present was
called upon for few remarks and
with deep feeling spoke briefly upon
the situation, his gratitude at the con-
fidence displayed in the bank Of which
he is one of the stockholders and the
cheering aspect presented by the atti-
tude of those holding certificates of
deposit.
The committee appointed on the
previous meeting now being ready
submitted report to be found in an
other column.
The stipulation recommended was
then passed around the audience and
signed by all present who had not al
ready affixed their signatures.
The security felt by our own bank
in its financial position and it's liber-
ality towards its depositors is shown
in their proposition to extend the
term of time of deposit at the old rate
of interest, while the Peoples Bank of
st. Paul asked and received the more
favorable terms of extended credit at
four per cent. 1t is evident that the
depositors of the latter bank under.
stand the situation and are willing to
assist their bank. 1t is to be hoped
that the people of River Falls will feel
the generosity of the contract of their
own bank.
The bank resumed business this
morning.

City Marshal Grant has had an I'M
usual amount of business the present
week Notwithstanding the hard times.
In fact it would seem as if some
persons think it necessary to add to
the funds of the city by way of fines,
etc. Among the incidents was fire in
the edifce known as the lookup. Cause
of fire not fully known at present
writing.

On Saturday night, the 18th inst,
frost froze about fifty per cent. of the
cranberry crop in this county. Chas.
Rice and Cbas. Stevenson went over
their marshes the first of the week,
and made up their minds there is
nothing left to make much noise about.
Stevenson's loss is the heaviest, as his
crop before the frost was the finest
known. not excepting that of 1851
Burnett County Sentinel.

E. W. Sawyer, of Rochester, Wis,
a prominent dealer in general mer-
chandise. and who runs several peddl-
ing wagons, had one of his horses bad
ly cut and burned with a. lariat. The
wound refused to heal. The horse
became lame and stiff notwithstand-
ing careful attention and the applica.
ton of remedies. A friend handed
Sawyer some of Haller's Barb Wire

he ever saw to heal such wounds. He
applied it only three times and the
sore was completely healed. Equally
good for all sores, cuts, bruises, and
wounds. For sale by r. S. Freeman.

A perfect town, says an exchange, is
that in which you see the farmer pat
ronize the home merchant, the mer-
chants advertise in local newspapers,
the laborers spend the money they
earn with their own tradesmen,
and all animated by spirit that they
will not purchase articles abroad if
they can be purchased at home. The
spirit of reciprocity between business
men and laborers, farmers and manu-
facturers. results every time in max
ing the town a satisfactory one to do
business in.

That there will be more or less of
crime arising out of the present finan.
cial stringency is already apparent.
Men are looking after those who are
reputed to have large sums of money
concealed and tbefts may be certainly
looked for in different parts or the
country. If concealment of funds is
as safe as time locks the banks are
certainly unwise to expend SO much
to protect the funds of their custom

One of the best signs of returning
confidence is the increasing deposits
in banks. The increase in deposits in
the New York City banks during last
week was nearly two million dollars.
Every indication points to let up in
monetary affairs. The Clearing House
report shows an increasing per centage
of business transacted. Bradstreet's
and Dunn Companys' review of trade
speak hopefully of the future.

Following the session of summer school
a State Institute will be held, conducted
by Prof. l.. H. Clark of the River Falls
Normal School and Prof c. j. Brewer of
the Ellsworth High School. The large
number of teachers who have signified
their intentions of being in attendance
combined with the well known ability of
the conductors already assures the sue

to be satisfied with fair attendance.

point out the advantages of attendance

or death ought to be the only thing to
prevent your attendance. Come if posi-
bic and we will endeavor to make it a
pleasant and profitable week for you. If
you cannot come, by all means write me
stating reasons. Ample provision viii be
made for room, etc. Bring your Course
