Bank Elections.

Citizens State Bank of New Ulm-
The annual meeting was held yester-
day afternoon, but aside from electing
a board of directors no business was
transacted. The following are the
directors: NJ. Mullen, o. NJ. Olsen,
Chas. Silverson, F. II. Retzlaff, Z.
j. Buenger, Fl. N. Somsen and John
Henle. The officers will be elected at
a meeting of the directors to be held
the latter part of the week. Mr.. Null.
len has rendered his resignation as
president, but there seems to be
sentiment prevailing among the stock
holders that will result in his being
retained in his old position in spite
of his expressed desire to retire. The
bank, which is the largest under state
control in Minnesota, has of course
enjoyed a highly successful year.

Gov. Fort of New Jersey tells this
story: An old Quaker woman was a
witness in a case which was being
tried one day before Judge Garrison
over in Jersey, and she wore a big
poke bonnet which muffled her ears
and prevented her hearing the lawyers
questions. Finally the lawyer ap-
pealed to the judge, and he ordered
her to remove the bonnet.
'sI'll do no such thing" she said
tartly.
81 am accustomed to having my
will respected, !" said the judge.
"Well, don't care if you are a
judge, that bonnet stays right where
it isl
perhaps, madam" the judge put
in, ironically, ''you would like to
take my place as judge, too, eh?"
ssNot a bit of it, she shot out,
there are enough old women on the
bench in Jersey as it is.''-Phila-

Whatever criticism may have been
made, just or unjust, am more than
ever convinced of the correctness of
1.-THE principle of the primary sys-
tenn, and / feel this SO strongly that
/ earnestly urge upon the legislature
the necessity of making the necessary
notifications in the law as applied to
present conditions, and desire to go
even further than that and say that in
my judgment better results would be
obtained by extending. the primary
election law so that it would include
all of the elective officers of the state.

was characteristic mixture of argu-
lment and invectiye.
