i've being present. The meeting was
presided over by eX-GoV. Ramsey. and
D. Michaud acted as secretary. The
plan of reorganization was explained
IN detail by Gustav Willius, the presi-
dent Of the company, and his explain
alton was followed by a general de-
bate, in which a number of those pres
ent took part. Very little opposition
was developed during the informal
talk. Assent to the reorganization plan
was urged by Mr.. Michaud, T. r. Pal
mer, Emil Geist and Mr. Douglas. Mr..
Taylor, who was present as an attor-
ney representing one Of the depositors.
criticised the plan in some of it's de-
tails, but did not take a positive stand
against its adoption.
After the general expression Of opin-
ion vote was taken and the follow
ing resolution, approving the plan and
urging all creditors to give their as
sent to it, was adopted by a vote Of
6o to 4: @
Whereas, The stockholders and creditors Of
the Germanla bank, of st. Paul, have sub
scribed new capital of $500 900 to be paid
IN on demand as soon as the proper court
shall have approved it's plan of reorganization !;
and,
Whereas, 1t has been shown that the bank
is in position to reorganize in a sound and
healthy condition, and further,
Whereas, Over 1,S00 creditors holding an
aggregate of 50 per cent Of the total deposits
of the bank have agreed to and favor the
proposed plan of reorganization, and that
only very small number of creditors. rep-
resenting not quite per cent of the deposits.
have filed objections; and,
Whereas, The course pursued by these OBJ
jectors, if successful, will infiict great injury
on every creditor of the bank; be it ,.,''.
Resolved, That we regret the efforts of
these parties to prevent the reorganization
OF the bank as unfair and against the best
interests of all creditors and contrary to
public policy;
Resolved further, That we call on eyery
creditor and all others having the welfare
OF our city at heart, to use their influence
with the misled depositors to withdraw their
objections, and that all those who have not
yet given their formal assent be urged to do
so at once.

A PRETTY WEDDING.
The Marriage of MI. N. P. Morris ant
I Miss BERTHE Selbe.

One of the prettiest weddings that
has been our fortune to attend took
place at Trinity Church north of Mex
leo, April %. The groom Nat P. Nor
ris, is a handsome and Industrious
young farmer of that vicinity, and the
bride, Miss BERTHE E. Selbe, is one of
the sweetest and most accomplished
young ladies of this county. The
bridesmaid was Miss Gussie Schopp,
OF st. Louis, a cousin o z tkro ~brfue,
groomsman, Theo. H. Selbe, brother
of the bride; usher, Will Canada.
Miss Hannah Schopp took great pains
in decorating the church with choice
flowers and plants. At II a. m. the
bridal party entered the church to
MendeIssohn's beautiful wedding
march, which was rendered by Miss
Elizabeth Wisdom, of Mexico, who
presided at the organ. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. B. d. Sipple.
The bride wore a lovely dress trim
med in white; the groomsman wore
black. After the ceremony the guests
went to the home of the bride where
an elegant dinner awaited them. They
received many and valuable presents.
After a few hours spent in social en-
joyment we departed with bnt one re-
greet, that Mr.. and Mrs. Selbe have but
one daughter and we car never go
there again to a wedding.
May flowers as fair and thornless
AS those that we culled that day
To adorn your marriage altar
Fer blossom along your way.
May the vows that then were spoken
Be faithfully kept through life;
May you never regret the hour
That made you man and wife.
And when life's journey is over.
May music as sweet be given :
AS that which you heard that morn
Welcome your entrance to heaven.
A FRIEND.

AN OLD CITIZEN DEAD.
William Middleton Quietly Passes
Away at the Residence of His Son.

William Middleton died at the
residence of his son, B. r. Middleton
on East Liberty street, about three
O'Clock Monday morning. Mr.. Mid.
dleton was eighty years old and was
one of our best known and highly
respected citizens. He was born in
Kentucky, but when a young mar
moved to Missouri and settled in
Monroe county. He lived there for a
great many years, but about five years
ago he moved to Mexico and has
resided here ever since. He was q
faithful, consistent member of the
M. E. Church, South, his whole life
being base on the principle, "be just,
fear not" The grave had no terrors
for him, and, as a soldier who has
fought a good fight ear lay down upon
a field OF battle and drawing his
blanket around him, drop off into
slumber, 30 could he, with a knowl-
edge of a duty we'll done, lay down
calmly upon life's battle field and
drawing the blanket of Death around
him, sink into that sleep that knows
no awaking until the resurrection
The funeral services were
held at the residence of his son on
East Liberty street at 10 o'clock Tues
day morning and were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Marvin.

THE SECRET.
How Doctors Protect Themselves From
Contagious Diseases.

Doctors rarely catch contagious dis
eases. Almost everybody knows this,
but few know how they escape. MANY
believe that the doctor has some
charm or antiseptic which protects
him. DIR. Hartman lately made the
truth of this matter public, that all
might realize its benefit.
Contagious diseases are conveyed
by minute organisms known "a dis.
ease germs. These germs find their
entrance into the system through the
mucous membrane. II the mucous
membrane is healthy, they cannot get
into the system. Ii the mucous mem
brane is affected by catarrh the germs
find easy access. Catarrhal secretions
furnish exactly the material upon
which they thrive and multiply. To
get rid of the catarrh, and thus pre-
serve the mucous membrane healthy,
Is the only way to be safe from con-
tagious diseases. This explains WHY
1t is that some people catch diseases
easier than others. Every one is x
posed just the same. Not everyone,
however, fails a victim to contagious
diseases. A disease germ cannot n
ter the system through a perfectly
healthy mucous membrane. Doctors
know this, and therefore guard against
it. This is all the secret there is about
it.
The best cure or preventive known
the medical profession up to date
for catarrh in all its conditions is Pc
ru-na. During the uncertain weather
of springtime it is an
azzar for anyone to neglect to
guard himself from taking disease by
taking Pe-ru.na.
