him to this city in 1852, after which
he continued his practice here.
1t was under his direction and with
his consultation that the Sisters of
st. Francis built st. Mary's hospital,
where his two sons made such a
rapid rise i'm their profession. Upon
their entrance in the surgical field,
he gradually withdrew and has lived
a retired life for some years. The
occasion of his eighty-fifth birthday
was the cause for big banquet of
citizens in Rochester, at which he
was presented with silver loving
cup. "'a" '
staunch democrat, he was prom
, inent in politics, and had served his
city as alderman and mayor and the
county as its senator. Thirty years
ago, he organized the Olmsted County
Medical society: He has been presi-
dent of the state society, and for
more than fifty years a member of
the national society. lie was mar
ried in 1851, and his widow and three
children, Doctors William j.. and
Charles II. Mayo and Mrs. ID. M.
Berkman, survive. y
The funeral was held from the
home of his daughter this afternoon,

plan, but after hearing this speech
he had become very much in favor
of adopting the plan, because of the
argument advanced by the speaker
that it induced the children to save
their money instead of spending it.
He considered the statement made
at the Commercial club banquet a
very foolish one. The American PEG.
pie are noted as being a spendthrift
nation instead of the contrary, and
if the school savings bank plan
worked to Offset this tendency, as
the Commercial club speaker had
said, then he was in favor of it as
being good public policy. 1t was bet
ter for the children to acquire the
habit of saving rather than to ac
Quire the habit of spending their
money at the candy store, as many
do.
Mr.. Scherer referred TO the jeal
Ousy that the other commercial
banks Of the city had displayed over
the appearance of representative
of one Of the banks at the boards
last regular monthly meeting, and
said that the MankatO Savings bank
had offered to relieve the CONNER
cial banks of this feeling by tender
ing it's services TO carry on the sys
TEN if installed in the schools. He
had learned that all of the banks
have many directors and stOckhOld
ers, and he thought that all of them
had been to see him since the mat
ter had come up at the previous
meeting. He had been seen" and
therefore he had made his motion

When needed, they have given all OF

OF 235 acres in section % TO Winni-

and be absolutely safe, and he lives
in the city, he will have an income
from ii of 81 600 a year, which will
make Aim a very scant living, and at
the end he will have no more than
he starts with. If, on the contrary,
! he buys 100 acres of land at 500
an acre, he will have $4,000 to buy
stock and machinery, etc, and get
started. He will then make a nice
living from the farm. needing to
buy very little aside from what he
raises from the farm, and having a
NICE profit each year to lay aside. In
