Onlast week he secured a new bond from the Marine Bank of Duluth just before it suspended. His guardianship will be rewarded by a re-election.

That Book. "Duluth and Environs" issued by Leggett & Thornton two years ago and for which several of our citizens "put up" all the way from $3 to $50 and for the production of which the firm carried from this city something like $300, is now being given away by an enterprising Duluth firm with every purchase of $2 worth or over, the books having been bought from the receiver of the Marine bank. None of the works have been delivered to subscribers in this city as yet and no doubt never will be. - Moral: Advertise in your home paper and do not look with joy upon every fakir who happens to strike town.

KOERNER IS PROUD OF IT RECORD HE HAS MADE WITH THE INSOLVENT BANKS. August T. Koerner, when he retires next Tuesday from the office of store treasurer, which he has held for six years, will have no record that pleases him more highly than that which he has made in connection with the collection of state deposits from banks which failed during the two panics. The amount of money tied up in such banks has been reduced from $318,000, at which figure it at some seasons seriously embarrassed the state, to $2,700, of which practically two-thirds is in the Marine bank at Duluth and the other third in the North St. Paul bank. These two are the only insolvent banks from which the state treasurer has not received what it had deposited in them at the time of the crash. Mr. Koerner has the satisfaction of knowing also, that the state has at this time the largest permanent school fund she has ever had, the fund having increased $1,000,000 in the last two years.
