STATE BANK.
One Will be Organized in Man
katO Soon.
II Will Succeed the MankatO National
Bank and Have the Same
Management.

On account Of the abundance of
money and the light demand for it.,
the stockholders Of the Mankato Ma
tional bank think it desirable to Or
ganiZe under the state law, with a
working capital of 100000, and place
the old bank into voluntary liquida-
tion. There are a number of advan-
tages to be gained by organizing un-
der the state law, among which will
be smaller taxes and less other eX-
penses.
The new bank will be organized as
soon as it is possible to do so, and will
be known as the Mankato State bank,
1t will be organized by such we'll
known and substantial men as
Frank Fowler, Jno. G. Noe, A. G..
BIerbauer, DR.. z G.. Harrington,
Fred Kron, J. Il. Ray, T. A. Sherk,
John R. Thomas, M. o. Sundt,
Geo. T. Boynton and many other of
our leading business men. The re-
sponsibility of bank with such back
ing will not be questioned.
The Mankato State bank will have
the same management as the Manka-
to National bank, and practically the
same stockholders. To all intents and
purposes it will be the same bank uu-
der slightly different name. The
change will unquestionably be wise
one under the existing condition, and
the new bank will undoubtedly re-
ceive the same cordial support and
patronage that the present one has
received.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Prof. Soaring Thrown From q Carriage
and Painfully Injured.

Prof Edward Soaring, president of
the Normal school, was thrown from
his carriage late yesterday afternoon
and received some painful injuries.
He drives to his farm in Decoria
township each afternoon, returning
before school hours in the morning.
Yesterday, he started for the farm in
surrey, accompanied by his neice.
Miss Grace Alsop, of Brooklyn, Wis.
who is spending month visiting
Prof. Searing's family. When about
four miles from the city, on the road
leading to Kennedy's bridge, in De-
coria, the horse became uumanage-
able and ran away. After going
down what is known as the Moon
shank hill, the surrey was overturned
at turn in the road, and the &C.
cupants were throw out. Miss Alison
escaped with few bruises, but Prof.
Soaring struck the ground on his
head, and stone cut an ugly cash in
his forehead, along the eyebrows, sew
eral inches long. His face was also
badly scratched and bruised.
John Renner, whose farm adioins
the place where the accident occur
red, had his team hitched up near by
and took Prof. Soaring and neice to
the formers home, some two miles
distant. Drs. Andrews and Thinner.
man responded to call, and dressed
the injuries, taking seven or eight
stitches in Mr.. Searing's forehead.
Prof Soaring will be laid up for few
days, but hopes soon to be able to re-
sumo his school work.
The carriage was badly wrecked
and the horse slightly injured. Upon
the whole, it is fortunate that the
accident was not worse.
