CAUSES rlUCh INQUIRY.
j. q. Roller Receives Letters Re-
garding His 1otor From All Over.

Since the brief description Of j. G.
Rollers hydraulic motor recently
went the rounds of the associated
press, that gentleman's mail has been
burdened with letters from all parts
of the country regarding the inven-
tion. Beginning two or three days
after the report was given out, Mr.:
Roller has received from five to ten
letters almost daily, and his accumu-
latiOn is curious one
All classes of people make inquiries
regarding the invention. Manufac-
turing concerns desire to manufac-
lure it, others desire to secure motors
to take the place of their present ma
chinery, some are inventors who
have been working on the same idea,
scientific men have sent pointers for
the betterment OF the motor, and any
number of people want to purchase
state and county rights. for it's sa lie.
Among all the letters received, only
one has discouraged the practical
success of the machine in operation.
Letters have come from as far as
Seattle, San Diego, San Francisco,
while they have come from New
York, Michigan, Illinois and nearly
every state in the union.
The invention has caused a great
deal Of interest in mechanical circles.
Mr.. Roller feels convinced that he
has hit upon a good thing. A good
many of his correspondents seem to
have wrong idea as to how the air
tanks Of the endless chain are intro
duced into the bottom of the water
tank, but this is done by very SIM
pie process. The upward tension of
the several air tanks in the water
above the air tank just entering are
depended upon to exert sufficient
power to pull the latter up.
One writer suggests that quicksil-
yer be.used instead of water in the
large tank, as the air tanks would rise
with much stronger power. This,
however. would be too expensive. 1t
has also been suggested that the air
tanks be filled with compressed air,
which would make them lighter.
When Mr.. Roller builds his model,
he will probably do some experiment.

BANK OFFICERS ELECTED.
Directors of National Banks Organize
Monday.

The new boards of direc tors of the
three national banks of the city held
their first meetings Monday, and
each one elected officers for the ensu-
ing year.
At the National Citizens bank nc
| change was made, the following off.
GERS being elected: Jno. F. Meagher,
resident; L. Patterson, vice presi-
dent; w. G.. Hoerr, cashier; j. B.
Meagher, assistant cashier; P. B.
Sparrow, bookkeeper; w. L. Henlein,
| teller.
The officers of the Mankato Ma
tional bank were also reelected, as
follows: J. Fl. Ray, president; DR.. 4.
G. Harrington, vice-president; Jno.
r. Thomas, cashier; e. Schoyen, book
keeper and teller. M. Nicholson, as
sistant teller.
The First National bank chose the
following officers: Stephen Lamm,
president; r. ID. Hubbard. vice-presi-
dent; and L. A. Under, cashier. The
selection of the remaining officers was
postponed In this list of officers
it will be noticed that there are
several important changes. Mr.. John
A. Willard, who has been president
OF the bank for many years, rendered
his resignation some time ago, and
l nh IN
coed him. Under Mr.. Wizards able
management, the bank has flourish
ed, but owing to the increasing
pressure upon his time by his
other large business interests, he
considered that it was only justice
to himself to surrender this posi-
tion, inasmuch as he could ill
spare the time required to perform it's
duties. Mr.. Stephen Lamm has
been vice president of the bank for
a long time, and he is one of our most
substantial and conservative citizens,
and is a tower of strength in any cor
pOratiOn in which he has al active
management. He will remove his Of
flee to the bank and give his entire
time to the banks business. His loan
and real estate business will be taken
care of by his .son, Leo. S. Lamm,
who will continue in his fathers old
office. Mr.. Hubbard, who succeeds
Mr.. Lamm as vice president, is an
other of our wealthy and influential
citizens, and the bank is fortunate in
having his name among it's officers
Mr.. Geo. II. Clark rendered his resig-
nation as cashier, having worked ard
for many years and fe, ling the need
Of rest for time. In him, the bank
loses faithful and conscientious Of
clal who gave it his best efforts. Mr..
Under, the new cashier, has been
connected with the bank for fourteen
years, the first three or four years as
teller, and the remainder of the time
as assistant cashier. His excel
lent business ability, combined
with his long experience and
his familiarity with the banks affairs
and his wide acquaintance, make him
just the man to fill the vacancy in
this RESPONSIBLE position,

When bank goes to smash IN China,
To show tbs solv nj beyond doubt,
When bank goes To smash in Cnina.

And amptale til, presidents head,
And banks never break in China
