Two Good Shows,
Says Director

For the first time since the 1895

double casts, opens tonight, Thurs
day, for two nights running, with

Ticket sales, with reserved seats
for both nights performances open
ing Tuesday morning, indicated
that crowds would be up to par
Whether this two-night perform
ance can equal the twin stand by
David Cooperfield, which yielded an
all-time box office high for high
school players, is being watched
with interest by the school.
Almost entirely different casts
especially in the main roles, will
greet play-goers on the two nights
One cast will perform tonight
Thursday, with curtain time at 500
Another will run through the play
on Friday night, billed for the Sec
ond performance.
Miss Dorothy Wilson, play direc-
tor, who handled the two casts Is
reluctant to pick between them
or recommend either performance
In fact she recommends both with
the statement: Both casts bid fair
to be equally good"
Tuesday evening the cast for to-
nights performances ran through
its dress rehearsal, and last eve
ming Friday nights cast held their
final rehearsal. "These rehearsals,' u
Miss Wilson said, indicate good

Action Brought
Against Bank Officers
And Individuals
C. A. REIN TRUSTEE
Defendants Denied
Charges and Asked
Change of Venue

Charges that directors Of the First
State Bank Of Sauk Centre and
John N. Peyton, then state bank
ing commissioner, "conspired to de-
fraud and cheat depositors" Of the
bank when it was reorganized in
1888 were made recently in a suit
to recover $59,680.
The action was started by G..
A. Rien, trustee of the bank, claim
ing public deposits in the bank
when it was closed in 1888 were
paid in full at the expense of de-
positors.
Defendants, besides Peyton, who
now is president of the Federal
Reserve Bank in Minneapolis, are
men who were directors Of the
bank, the assistant state bank ex-
aminer and the surety companies
which handled the bonds.
The case was started in Stearns
County District Court, but the de-
PENDANTS, along with answers de-
nying the charges, moved for a
change of venue to Ramsey county.
The claim is made in the COM
plaint that the public deposits, in
cluding funds Of the city of Sauk
Centre and other governmental
divisions, got right of way in re-
organization Of the bank, though
most of these deposits, the plain
tiff alleges, were not exempt from
the reorganization plan.
J It was done, the complaint de-
! clares, to relieve the defendants
of their obligations on their bonds
and would deplete the assets to
be set aside from the general cred
itors."
Defendants are B. F. Dubois,
j. F. Cooper, L. L. Kells, J. A. Du-
Bois, (deceased), Thomas Sullivan,
New Amsterdam Casualty Com
| pany, George Susens, F. S. Cooper
and National Surety Company.
Thomas r. Walenta, of Mime
apolis, represents the plaintiff and
Oppenheimer, Dickson, Hodgson
Brown and Donnelly, Of st. Paul
the defendants. Neill Mclaughlin
Company, Minneapolis accountants
have been working for depositors
committee on the matter.
The above from the Minneapolis
Journal pertains to a suit against
individual officers of the First
State Bank and others who aided
in reorganization in 1888. G. A.
Rien, who started the action, was
appointed sometime ago as trustee
of the trust fund by Judge J. B.
Himsl, Of st. Cloud.
It will be remembered that on
Saturday evening, April 8, 1888, fol-
lowing the bank holiday, a mass
meeting attended by 400 depositors
of the bank was held in the Junior
High School auditorium. Examin-
er Collins and Mr.. Suzens, secre-
tary of the Minnesota Bankers
Association, explained the condition
of the bank and the proposed plan
for reorganization.
Probably the most important an
nouncement made at that meeting
said the Herald Of April 13, 1888
was that made by Collins, who stat
ed that $148,0O0 in public moneys
had been set aside. It was brought
out that the assets of the bank had
been gone over by the State de-
partment and segregated, and that
it was necessary that not less than
66 and two-thirds per cent Of the
money on deposit in the bank when
the holiday was declared by Presi-
dent Roosevelt be signed for reor'
ganization. Depositors were per-
mitted when the bank reopened to

from the bank, while 55 per cent

Speculative buying inspired by a
Washington report that no major
changes were contemplated in the
1899 farm program was noted in dis

Speculative selling of May was re-
ported and the month closed net

Foreign business was small and
the local market ignored the weaker

Bombay houses were light sellers of
nearby months.
Cotton belt weather was reported
