A Solid Institution.

Elsewhere may be found con-
densed report of the condition of the
Winnesheik county bauk which we
are authorized to publish. This insti-
tuition was established forty-one years
ago, our acquaintance with it extend
ing back to 1858, when it was owned
by II. S. Weiser and Thomas j. FIJI
bert and the banking house was known
as that of Weiser T. Filbert. 1t was
then considered as one of the safest
and most reliable banks OF the state.
and during the war, when banks ali
about were tumbling like rows of bricks
falling against each other. the Winne-
shelk county bank under the safe and
prudent management of II. S. Weiser
went through that trying period with
out question of its solvency and safety.
Under like prudent management as
detailed in all article which we copy
from the Decorah Republican of the
9th, it has grown and prospered from
that day to this, now making new
departure, with c. j. .Weiser, son of
It's founder, as president, and E. w
u. Holway remaining as cashier, and
also IN publishing a statement of it's
financial condition, a feature that the
public would appreciate and commend
to the adoption Of all private banks in
Iowa.

W. G. Nichols & Son sent 500 sheen

W. G. Nichols & Son sent 800 sheep
to Chicago market about three weeks
since, which they had becn feeding
for some two months which were so
fine that they sold at five cents above
the market quotations, which shows
that it pays to prepare your animals
for the market before sending them
there. They averaged $3.50 a head.
The officers of the Howard County
Agricultural Society, owing to the de-
struction of the fair buildings and the
expense incident to rebuilding, served
the society last year without receiving
one particle OF salary for their servi.
| ces. The society owing to the expense
of rebuilding was 81 400 in debt before
the fair, after its close, this debt was
reduced to about $400. The people
this fall will be given a good fair and
with the patronage we have a right to
expect this debt will be extinguished
and the officers who have faithfully
worked for the society paid the sala-
ries they have earned.

This was the right thing for Mr..

and little daughter May, of Cresco,
departed last Monday evening for
Chicago for the purpose OF giving the
little one medical treatment at one of
the institutes there. About q year
ago she got fall from which she has
not recovered, but seems to be
gradually growing worse. How
sorrowful must be the parting, the
mother being compelled to remain at
home. All friends unite in hoping
for speedy cure and reuniting of the
family.-Lime Springs Sun.
Th. Won Rolf is talking electric
lights to Decorah, which has. been
hampered for few years with a plant
in which it is alleged, members of
the town council were interested.
and which was an obstacle in the way
of securing something better. We
judge from an article in the last
Decorah Republican that this obstacle
no longer exists, and that the company
which Mr.. Won Rolf represents, the
largest in the world devoted to electric
lighting, will furnish a plant with
arc lights OF 1000 candle power, of
1900 candle spower, and incandescent
lights of 80 candle power upon terms
and conditions far better than the
offer made by McGregor parties, to
our town, and which by the way.
would prevent our obtaining the
better system when offered. The
proposition to Decorah is that the
City may purchase the plant at any
time at valuation to be judicially
determined, and undoubtedly d similar
offer can be obtained for Cresco.
