CITIZENS STATE BANK CHANGES HANDS

A deal was completed last week by
which the controlling interest of the
Citizens State bank was sold to G. M.
Sprague, president of the First Ma
tional bank OF Sank Centre; G. j.
Lofgren, cashier of the First National
bank of Ada, and G. E. Peterson,
cashier of the First National bank OF
Twin Valley. On account of the
friction among the old stockholders OF
the Citizens State bank the manage
ment has been frequently changed
during the past three years and the
bank has had uphill work. The new
stockholders are all experienced
bankers, with a large amount OF
capital at their command, and it is
certain that from now on the bank
will be a success. H. G. Aamoth
remains as cashier.-Twin Valley

SAN FRANCISCO, CALF.
SHAKEN BY EARTHQUAKE
and DEVASTATED BY FIRE
The Business Portion Of the City In Ruins.
Hundreds Of People Dead and Millions Of
Dollars Worth Of Property Destroyed.

The most appalling disaster in the
way of an earthquake and fire struck
the fair city of San Francisco, Calf,
on April 18th. Reports from the
stricken city are meager as yet.
Enough is known however, to demon
strate that one OF the most appalling
disasters of modern times has fallen
upon the metropolis of the Pacific
coast. No doubt suffering indescrib-
able and misery untold will be the
result of the disaster. No doubt the
generosity of the people of the United
States will be called upon to rescue
the suffering and there is no doubt
that the response will be prompt and
liberal.

J.F. Jacobson of Madison, visited
Minneapolis yesterday, and an
nounced himself a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor.
The jacobson boom has covered the
state in advance of his declaration,
and his friends have been impatient
for him to break the silence. He
refused for months to discuss the
matter, but sat still and watched
Developments. The lOng-awaited
statement has come at last.
81 am now satisfied" said Mr..
jacobson to Journal reporter yester-
day afternoon, 'that my name will go
before the convention whether l con-
sent to it or not. Judging by the
support that 1 am receiving from all
portions of the state, my friends will
never be satisfied without being allowed
to use my name in connection with
the nomination.
81 will say, therefore, that if the
convention decides that l am the man
to nominate for governor, will accept
the nomination, and will make the
best campaign for election OF which l
am capable"
As to His Platform.
"Will you announce platform"
he was asked.
"As to that" the old war horse re-
piled, ST can only say that I have been
in public life in this state for at least
twenty years, and have made record,
such as it is. If that record is not a
better indication of what I am likely
to do if elected governor, than any
thing 1 can say at this time, then l
neither deserve nor want the nomina-
tion."
There will not be any Jacobson
headquarters, and the Madison man
does not propose to be drawn into any
pre-convention controversy. He came
in to the twin cities yesterday morning
and returned last evening. He was
accompanied by ]. o. Haugland OF
Montevideo, former colleague in the
house and one of his strongest
supporters.

Gated anything that wasn't for the
best interests of the people OF this

the legislature was for an open market

In Russia the earliest currency
known was the whole skins, with

kept a close secret, but it has been learned
that at least two of the gifts, two diamond
lookets, are being made for Secretary of
War William H. Taft. Miss Carew, sister
of Mrs. Roosevelt, is also having some
jewelry made, as is Mrs Douglas Robin
son, sister of the president Most of the
gifts are being made for well known per-
sons living in New York, Washington and
Ohio.
While kings and emperors are sending to
the bride costly silver and china, the tokens
from Miss Roosevelt's friends will be rather
primitive in comparison, but these are the
ones she will prize. Miss Roosevelt is sig
nally loyal to her friends, and while the
new spapers have been making much of the
proposed gift of this or that foreign ruler
the presidents daughter has been thinking
of those who are nearer and dearer to her.
Many of Miss Alice's girl friends are max
ing their own gifts. Miss Roosevelt herself
is unusually tasteful and adept with her
needle, and nearly every girl in her set
makes her own dainty linen. Nesting
among the costly and attractive bits of
lingerie which Miss Roosevelt has chosen
as a part of her trousseau and which in
cludes many imported pieces, are many
simpler but daintily made garments which
have come to her from close friends.
Miss Roosevelt will go out from the
White House generously endowed with
jewels. No matter what this collection may
represent, there will hardly be anything
she prizes more than the handsome dia-
mOnd necklace given her Christmas by the
president Miss Roosevelt wears this
proudly and calls everybody's attention
to it.

Hardships of working Girls.

In pointed language, which was in no
manner subdued, Mrs. j. q, Phelps stokes
last Sunday painted the misery and hard
hips of New York's 100000 working girls
20 a congregation that filled the BAPTIST
church of the Epiphany, Her sermon was
directed at the thoughtless rich of the
metropolis and was particularly effective
because of the fact that the speaker had
spent twelve years of toll in a cigar fac
tory as the support of a large family.
Among other things she said:
ITO be happy where all is fair, just and
good is an easy thing; to be happy where
injustice and wrong prevail is impossible
The average working girls body and soul
function are not merely under constraint
but the conditions amid which she works
are usually so unjust and so inimical to
healthy growth and development of mind
and body and spirit, that instead of indif-
ference to them her whole being, If she is
girl of depth OF feeling, cries out against
their injustice,
What is most needed here Is the awak-
ening of larger sense of justice in those
who control and maintain the baneful con-
ditions under which the working girl must
work II she would not starve
"All possible JOY is generally excluded
from the workshop by the rigid rule:
against talk among the workers. This in.
sistence on attention to business Is re,
quired, but it is usually carried so far
