MEANDERED LAKES.

Nine quit-claim deeds of consid-
cradle interest have been placed on
record with the register of deeds
during the past week. They vest
title in number of lots to as many
different persons. The lots are
located in what is known as Goose
and Swan lakes in sections 6 and Z,
Underwood, and adjacent terrific
ry in Lyon county.
The tracts are therefore, what is
known as meandered land. It has
been quite generally supposed that
this meandered land belonged to
the government and that in order to
obtain it an application for resur-
vey would have to be made. and
then a purchase at auction. But a
State law, adopted by the 1897 legis-
lature, provides that the owners of
the land bordering on the mean
dered lakes can petition the courts
for survey, and then divide up the
meandered tracts, among them
selves, in proportion to the amount
OF land each owner has bordering
on the lake.
This has been done in the case of
Goose and Swan lakes. The sur
veyor has made large number Of
lots out of the two tracts and these
lots have been divided up among
the adjoining property owners. The
property owners perfect title in
each case by all the other owners
quitclaiming to the person or per-
sors to whom this or that lot has
been apportioned. The persons
benefited are Mary P. McNiven,
Ida z. McNiver, Mrs. Lena Beh-
rens, Julia McNiven ct al, L. Oscar
Exstrom, August Werner, David
Forbes, NJ. W. Harden and Richard
Hudson. John G. Burchard Of
Marshall acted as attorney for vari-
Gus interests. :

AUNE FOR MAYOR.

A petition was being passed
around during the past week, and
signers we're being freely secured,
asking the city recorder to place
the name of Aid. Fl. NJ. Aune on the
official ballot as candidate for may
or for the ensuing year. Plenty OF
signatures were secured and Mr..
Aune is now an avowed candidate.
He has had vast amount of exper-
ience in municipal work, having
been d member of the council for
many years, and he is thoroughly
conversant with every detail of mu-
nicipal government. Mr.. Aune is
always first mover in the matter
of public enterprises, and inasmuch
as public spirited man, having the
progressive interests of the city at
heart, should occupy the position,
Mr.. Aune makes an ideal candidate.
At the present writing no other
candidate has been seriously men,
toned. A meeting has been held
at which a tender was made to a
citizen other than Mr.. Aune, but
that citizen has positively declined
to be candidate. Since that time
there has been some talk Of running
A. E. King or J r. Lankard for the
place.
For recorder Thos. G. Jones and
Chas. G. johnson will be candidates.
For treasurer HI. A. Baldwin will
probably be reelected without op-
position. For alderman in the First
ward Herman G. Werder has been
mentioned as one Of the candidates,
and in the Second ward the name OF
Chas. Luscher, John T. Cooper and
] ohm Moon have been mentioned.

NATIONAL Bank.
Redwood County Bank Applies for
National Bank Charter.

The application Of the Redwood
County Bank Of this city to the
comptroller Of the currency of the
! United States for charter to estab-
lish the First National Bank o1
Redwood Falls, has been granted,
and it is expected that after March
1st of next year the Redwood Coun-
ty Bank will cease its corporate ex-
istence and that it will be succeed
ed by the First National Bank OF
Redwood Falls.
This action on the part of the
officers of the Redwood County
Bank has been under consideration
for a long time. They have all
thought that Redw wood Falls should
have National bank and it was re
solved to make the change as soon
as possible. The attorneys of the
bank, Messrs. Baldwin & Howard,
we're instructed to look up the'mat-
ter of q change, and as soon as the
law was given to the directors it
was decided to make the applica-
tion to the comptroller of the cur
! rency, which: as stated above, has
been granted.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Redwood County
Bank will be held on Tuesday, Jan.
10Th, at which time the consent OF
the stockholders will be obtained
for the conversion, and as soon as
the actual consent is obtained other
necessary steps will quickly follow.
The capital stock of the proposed
First National Bank of Redwood
Falls will be $25, 900, the same as
the present Redwood County sank.
This will give the bank permission
to issue bank notes to the full extent
of the capital stock, but it has been
practically decided to only place
$40, 900 of currency in circulation at
the present time. To organize the
First National Bank of Redwood
Falls and to issue the currency it is
necessary to lave certain amount
of government bonds and the Chase
National Bank of New York has al
ready been authorized to make a
purchase of the latter for the use of
the First National Bank as secur-
ity to the government for it's circu-
lation. The government two per
cent. bonds are now valued at
$1.O44, requiring the First National
Bank to pay quite a. premium for
the bonds required for it's organiza-
ton.
The officers of the first National
Bank of Redwood Falls will be
about the same as the present Red
wood County Bank officials. A. G.
Burmeister will probably be Presi-
dent, H. Z. Baldwin vice president,
H. A. Baldwin cashier and 0. w.
Mcmillan assistant cashier. The
directors will probably include all
Of the old directors, as we'll as three
additional directors, whose names
are not yet ready for publication.

Brown. Buttered Watermelon.

Browns Buttered Watermelon.
Colonel George W. Anderson, man
Of splendid genius and rare oratortcai
gifts, was sturnping for Greeley and
Brown down in southwest Missouri
One night in the midst of his speech an
old fellow arose in the back of the
house and said:
Colonel Anderson, is it true that
Governor Brown was so drunk at that
Yale alumni dinner that he buttered
his watermelon?
Colonel Anderson reared back on his
pastern joints. Strengthened himself to
his G feet and with lions roar an
swered:
Yes, 1t is true that Governor Brown
buttered his watermelon at the Yale
alumni dinner, and 1 am happy to in
form you that that is the only way in
which watermelons are eaten in polite
society"
Anderson's happy retort was greeted
with shout of laughter and q roar of
applause by his auditors. His inter
roGator sat down discounted, and that
was the last ever heard of the story
of the buttered watermelon-all of
which goes to demonstrate the value
of Danton's famous motto: 'L'audace!
L'audace, Toujours raudace!'
Colonel Anderson was a wonderful
stumper. He was most emphatically
a rough diamond. In the rough and

ing he never had a superior in Affs-
souri,. which is saying great deal. He

The story goes that rich and eccen-

an Englishman. People here would call

The Englishman convinced himself
that further bargaining was useless
and went his way.
Soon after an officer from the kings
household arrived in the village and
asked to speak with Girardin. Before
the whole village, assembled in the
street. he said: "Girardin. the king has
learned that you have refused to sell
your house to an Englishman. He de

Absurdities Into which Victims of

the Habit Have Fallen.
When lapses of memory become
habitual, the person is properly called
absentminded. The Chicago Tribune
relates the following abSurdities into
which some victims of this disease
have fallen:
A bridegroom of ~ hours left his
wife. strolled around to his mother-in-
laws house and asked her if her
daughter was at home. This came
from force of habit. He had been call
ing there daily for some time, and it
probably occurred to him that he had
not paid his usual visit

to account for threc-quartCrS of an

Nearly an hour later he found himself

Lnembercd the order.
He went back across the street and
asked if the luncheon was ready. The
clerk Informed him that he had eaten,
paid the bill and gone away some Is
minutes before. that he had put his
bat on as lie went out and that he

The bank president cOngratulates
himself that he can be trusted to be-
have like an ordinary mortal even
when he doesn't happen to have his
mind with him.
An editor of Il daily paper las laid
himself open TO unkind remarks by
trying to take up n collection in his
Office. Happening to want n small
coin. lie turned to his fellow worker
and asked for n quarter.

the man replied as he tossed it over.
The editor put the dollar in his pocket
and Immediately turned to special
writer at the next desk and said:

terT' Then. seeing the man from
whom he had got the dollar grin, he
added hastily: "Oh. never mind. just
got q dollar from Brown"
In analyzing his conduct he said
that Browns reply that he did not
have n quarter was apparently the
only part of the transaction that made
any impression upon him. But he is
under suspicion in that Office and Will
