Judge Brooks, of the district court,
filed decision last Wednesday in the
1rish-American bank case, holding that
all creditors are entitled to their pro
rata share of the money now in the
hands of the receiver and no more. The
decision settles dispute which has ex-
listed for some time between Certain
creditors whose claims antedated July
81, 1895, when the double liability law
regarding stockholders ceased to be eff

bank. The Directing creditors urged that
they were entitled to a preference ON
this account, but the Judge, in his men,
orandum and order, overrules their con-
tention. The money will now be distrib-
uted without further delay.
The closing exercises of the Immacr-
late Conception school occurred last
Tuesday evening at the Bijou theatre.
The program presented was thoroughly
enjoyed by large and enthusiastic
gathering of the friends of Catholic edit

grade boys was splendid, and the m,nuet
by the little ones took the audience by

rarely been witnessed on the Bijou
stage. The cantata was finely rendered,
and the tableaux were magnificent. The
whole performance gave evidence of the
patient training at the hands of the
Catholic sisters of an intelligent lot OF
children, of whom the parents have rea-

Of the Thirteenth Minnesota had sent
