where he spent some time in the
mountains with his daughter, who re-
sides there, and at the sanitarium.
The doctors at the latter place, after
making an examination of his case,
we're quick to pronounce the cancer
incurable, and when Mr.. Skinner re-
turned to this city about six months
ago it was with the knowledge that he
could only live short time longer.
Since that time he has been confined
to the house almost continuously, be-
ing cared for by faithful wife and a
devoted brother, the latter coming
from his home in Wisconsin for the
purpose of caring for his brother dur
ing his declining days. During the
past two months Mr.. Skinner would
allow no one but his wife to wait on
him, and his ruling in this respect was
strictly adhered to by the other men,
bers of the family He bore up un-
der the weight of the decease with re-
markable endurance, seldom if ever
complaining of his sad lot, and con-
tinually remarking that he was ready
to meet his Saviour. In the last
month of bis illness be ate no food,
occasionally drinking maltine, and on
this he subsisted until death came.
He passed away peacefully, the last
spark of his devoured energy, going
out as calm and peaceful as the last
sand runs from the hour glass.

dence at 1870 o'clock yesterday morn

According to the bond given to the
State R. P. Lewis and w. T. Donald
son, the two st. Paul directors and
stockholders of the bank qualified to
the extent OF $4,000 each, and the
Redwood Falls parties qualified to the
extent of $1,000. According to the
rules laid down by the Supreme Court
the two st. Paul members of the bond
will have to pay two-thirds of the
Judgment, if any be secured, while the
other five, or the Redwood list of sur
cites will only have to pay one-third.
This would make the St. Paul men re-
sponsible for little over $1,000 and
the Redwood Falls men RESPONSE
BILE for little over 81, 900, or probably
a,little over $500 each. All this is
conditional that the judgement will be
secured.
The failure of the Northern Trust
Co., assignee of the Citizens Bank,
precipitated the suit. Had that COM
pany retained its insolvency the State
would have been able, as a preferred
creditor, to secure enough out of the
assets held by that company, to salts
fy the claim against the bank. AS it
is now the Trust Co. has finished it's
administration of the insolvent bank,
has some of the finds belonging to
the creditors of the latter tied up on
its hands, and is itself in state of in
solvency.
The sureties will all probably con-
test the claim of the State and the
case will come on for trial as soon as
it can be reached in the district court.

RECTORY DEDICATED.

The rectory of the Episcopal church
of Holy Communion was dedicated
last Tuesday evening by Rt. Rey.
Mahlon Norris Gilbert, D. D. Bishop
Coadjutor of the Diocese of Minnesota,
in the presence of good number of
the members of the congregation of
that church. Bishop Gilbert was also
extended reception on that evening.
The dedication opened with bene-
diction at 7:30 sharp. Bishop Gilbert
followed with "Peace be to this house
and all that shall dwell therein" after
which the hymn Blessed be the tie
that binds" was chanted by those
present. Then came q reading and
response by Bishop Gilbert and Rev.
W. H. Knowlton, after which came a
prayer and the singing of the Doxol-
ogy, which ended the dedication.
Light refreshments we're served in

SUES THE sURETlEs.
State Asks for Judgment Against
BondSmen.

The State Of Minnesota, by Treas
urer August Koerner, and Attorney
General Childs and Assistant George
B. Edgerton, has commenced suit
against the Citizens Bank, insolvent,
of this place, and w. T. Donaldson, R.
P. Lewis of St. Paul, F. w. Philbrick,
j. NJ. Dunnington, Dwight Bissell,
John II. Bowers and Herman G..
Schmahl, sureties, to recover the
amount. alleged TO be due the State
on account of deposits made in the
bank by the State treasurer prior to
the insolvency of that institution.
The amount on deposit at the time
of the failure was $,O64.67, on which
sum the State claims an interest at
the rate of seven per cent. per annum.
It will be remembered, however, that
the bank, in order to secure the State
put up collateral security to the extent
of twice the amount of money on de-
posit, or about $4,000. The State ac-
cepted this security, and it is claimed
by good legal authorities that when it,
through its authorized officials, did
this, the sureties of the bank we're re-
leased from all of its obligations. The
State holds otherwise.
There is only about $1,000 to collect
on the original amount, the State hav-
ing collected on the collateral turned
over to i, to the extent of about one
half. The State itself, in the COM
plant served upon the defendants
last Monday, admitted that it has re-
ceived the following amounts. $44.6O

APPOINTMENTS HELD UP.
Mayor philbrlCk Taking His Time
kb0ut Appointing a Chief
And Assistant.
Saloon Licenses Granted and
Standing Committees for the
Year Announced.

The police appointments for the en-
suing year appear to have been hung
up on Christmas tree by Mayor
Phllbrick. The Mayor should have
announced the appointments at the
meeting held on Jan. 18th, but he did
not do so. Neither did he announce
them at the meeting of the council on
last Monday evening. The delay is
creating a great deal of talk. The
Mayor is alleged to have said that he
has received several complaints against
the chief and the patrolman and when
he laid these complaints before the
two officials they, it is alleged, claimed
that the council was to blame. Since
the appointments have been chung
up" Mayor Philbrick has been receiv-
ing applications for both places sew
eral for each, and just now there is
some doubt who will receive the gifts
from the city Santa Claus.
At the meeting of the council Mon
day evening the license fee for the en-
suing year was fixed at $500, and IL
censes were ordered issued to G.. w.
Vaughn, George Brown, Joseph LIGHT
warck, Frank L. Peterson, R. D..
White and Henry Joern, on payment
Of $500 by each Of them, and on their
filing the proper bonds for the non
violation of the laws. The bonds Of
the different saloon-keepers, excepting
the last two, have since been approved.
Mayor Philbrick has announced the
different standing committees for the
ensuing year. They are as follows:
Ways and Means--Aune and Nc
MILAN.
Streets Caswell and Aune.
Fire department Mcmillan and
M.sKay.
Water works Mckay and Caswel.

The bond of City Recorder Evans,
in the sum of $500, was approved, as
was also the bond of III. A. Baldwin as
city treasurer in the sum of $4,000.
The sureties on the latter are II. D.
Baldwin, Emil Schmahl, Anna E.
Ward, H. G.. Schmahl, Matt. Offer
man, Andrew Ere ncois, A. A. Linde-
man and A. G. Burmeister.
The city recorder was instructed to

DEATH CAME HS DESIRED.
VIM. Skinner, Long III With Cancer,
Passes Into the Great
Beyond.
Sketch of His Long, Honorable and
Christian Career on
Earth.

William Skinner, among the first
settlers in Redwood county, and for
several years last past the senior mem
ber of the furniture firm of Skinner
& Persons, died at his home on Wy
oming street between 10 andl II o'clock
last Monday morning. Death was
not unexpected, aslkMr. Skinner has
been suffering. from cancer for some
time past, and death, which was well
coined by him, was only a question of
a short time after the cancer develop
ed.
The first symptoms of the disease
made it's appearance little over a
year ago, when a large bunch gather
ed on Mr.. SINNERS neck. The nature
of it was not precisely known at the
time of its formation and Mr.. SINNERS
physicians lanced the gathering. Lat
or it developed into the first stages
of cancer, Immediately taking an
acute form, and causing Mr.. SINNERS
physicians to doubt their ability to
treat the same. Shortly after its real
stage became apparent Mr.. Skinner
was advised to go to sanitarium in
in Missouri, where treatment of can
GERS is made speciality. With his
wife he left Immediately for that State,

ST. PAUL NOTES.
Some Items That Don't Appear In
the DallieS.

There is great deal of gossip 60
ing. on around st. Paul that does not
get into the daily papers The reason
given for its non-appearance is that
the papers are owned or partly owned
by the parties directly Interested and
consequently they dare not make pub
lie what would probably injure the
parties referred to.
Take for instance bank and poll
tician-or rather a politician at the
head of bank. It is alleged that re-
Gently there was run on the bank.
The politician was the principal officer
and during the run he occupied a
chair in his highly embellished Office,
as nervous as could be imagined, with
large drops of sweat running down his
brow. A southern Minnesota man,
hearing of the run, went into the bank
and offered the officer large sum OF
money from his bank telling him
that the funds could be secured in q
few hours. The official partly accept
ed the proffer, telling the Southern
Minnesota man that if the run contin-
ued he would call on him, but believ-
ing that it would not last long enough
to drain the funds he then had on
hand. The run did not keep up as
long as might have been expected and
the bank was not obliged to close its
doors. But the same day the direct
ory held a meeting and informed the
official that he would either have to
d op politics or the bank. The offic-
ial agreed to drop the former.
If the rumor is correct a politician
went east the next day declaring that
his chief, the banker politician, was
out of politics, and had divorced him
self completely from the expectation
of receiving an Office, State, National
or otherwise.
Right in the same path came the
story that the same banker politi-
clan had such a "pull' on the State
Treasurer that he compelled the lat
ter to call in a large amount of money
from the country banks to brace up
his institution. This report was en-
tirely without foundation, however, as
a statement of the State Treasurer af-
terwards published clearly proved.
It was also an injustice to Treasurer
Koerner, who is always on the alert
for nervous banks and sees that the
State is amply protected for all funds
on deposit.
It is remarkable how the political
