A SMALL RETURN.
Creditors Will Get Only Ten Cents on
the Dollar.

Assignee Argetsinger is quoted by
the Mapleton Enterprise as saying that
the creditors of the defunct Mapleton
bank would receive ten cents on the
dollar. He states that there will be
about $4,000 to distribute among
creditors, from which $1,000 must be
deducted for expenses.
The sum may be surprisingly small
to many. in fact it is to nearly every
one except those who have been aole
to secure an inside view of the condi-
tions of affairs, says the Enterprise.
The new bank block, which was erect
ed at cost of $4,000, will probably
not sell for more than $4,000 at this
time, which amount is but sufficient
to pay the mortgages and liens, when
are against the building The claims
of a number of the creditors have not
yet been filed, and quite a good many
of those holding small claims will per-
haps never file them, preferlng TO
keep the fifty cents which it is neces-
sary to put up in filing the claim,
than to run the risk of getting but a
few cents afterwards. The Seattle
and western property, which is said to
have cost 1000, is not taken in view
in the allowance of ten per cent as II
is considered comparatively worthless
at this time of depression in real
estate, the assignee being of the opin'
ion that it could not be sold at forced
sale for more than $500. An examina'
tion of the books reveals the fact tina,
the bank has not been on souno
basis in several years.

DIVIDING THE DISTRICT.
The Plan to Make Two Judicial Dis
trictS of TIE Sixth.
Blue Earth and Watonwan Counties
i'm One District.

1t is intended to have bill passed
at the present session of the leglsla-
ture to divide the sixth judicial dis
trict and make two districts out or IL
This plan has been talked Of for
some time by the lawyers through
the district, and the matter has got
so far that a committee has been ap-
pointed to draw up plan and bill TO
carry it into execution.
A prominent attorney who Is not
member of the committee, IN speaking
of the matter said:
s"The time has come when the dis
trict should be divided. as there is
now more work than one judge can
do, and more than any other judge IN
the state has to do. 1t is eighteen
years since the present limits OF the
district were established, and 10 this
time the population has increased two
fold and the business four fold. The
city districts of the state are smaller
than the sixth, and it is only the
agricultural districts that are larger,
having less litigation than other parts
OF the state.
ramsey county, with a popu-
lation of ,537, has six district
judges, or an average population
of 24,5S9 to the district. The
fourth district comprises Anoka,
Hennepin, Isanti and Wright
counties, and - has population
of 266,S27. 1t has six judges, or
one to A, All population. The sixth
district, which comprises Blue Earth,
Watonwan, Martin and Farloault
counties, has a population of 1851,
and only one judge.
"The plan most favored for the divi-
sion is to have Blue Earth and Walton
wan counties as the sixth dlstrlct,
with AZ, 557 population, and Faribault,
Martin and Jackson counties as new
district, with AZ, 444 population. Jack
son county now belongs to Judge
Browns district Judge Severance
would continue as Judge OF
the sixth district, and some
prominent attorney would oe
elected judge of the new district.
1t is thought that the attorneys in all
the counties interested will favor this
division, and the attorneys OF Walton
wan county have indicated their de-
sire to be joined to Blue Earth county
in a seperate district. 1t is not
thought that any opposition will de-
velop, and if the committee will dc
something before the session of the
legislature is too far gone, the mat
ter will be settled

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
The Name of GINS Widell is Mentioned
as Que that Would Take Well as
Alderman From the Third Ward.

> AS municipal politics are talked OF
a good deal these cold days the ques-
tion of available timber for aldermen
comes in for it's share of discussion.
AThird-warder, Tuesday, talking over
possibilities for April material sug-
gested that eX-alderman Widell would
be an excellent man for the Republi-
cans of that ward to unite upon this
spring. Said this gentleman:
"Mr. Widell, when in the council,
made one of it's best members. He is
a progressive young man who has
made great success of his own bust
ness, and it seems to me that what we
need to look after the City's interests
is man who has demonstrated first,
his ability to successfully manage his
own affairs. This Mr.. Widell has done
to an exceptional degree"

formation regarding Widell's willing.
