Advices from up the river are Of q
nature to cause apprehension. The Vel.
lowstone and Tongue rivers have broken
their icy fstters and are filing the valley
with an unexpected overflow. When
this flood reaches the Missouri at Fort
Buford it is liable to break up the heavy
ice in that stream. This was one of the
causes, in fact the main cause, Of the
disastrous food of 1881. The Missouri
opened frst near it's upper cnd and
sent resistless volume Of ice and water
down the stream. The lce was thick and
solid and % it moved down tho valley
and flooded the low lands, the destruc.
tion was great. An encouraging feature
in the situation this year is the com.
parativsly small quantity Of snow on the
Missouri slope in Dakota. This will
probably prevent repetition
OF the scenes Of 1881, though it il we'll

from that direction are greatly in
convenienced thereby. Some steps
ought to be at once taken to put the
road in good repair. The cost of the
needed Improvements would not be
great, as there are no large bridges
to build. We hope all who are in
terested will look into the matter
and lend all the aid and encourage
ment possible to any efforts that
may be put forth to improve the
road referred to. The citizens of
Mineral Point are especially interest
ed, and although they may not be
in q condition to give any large
amount of money for the improve
ment of roads outside Of the city
limits, it is their duty TO do all in
their power to encourage people to
come here.
The Chicago, Freeport & st. Paul
railroad company are making things
lively down the valley, in the way
of working up local aid and right OF
way. Propositions for aid have
been filed as follows: Town Of Cadiz,

Argyle, Lafayette county, $4,000;

Business for Ladies.

The opportunities for ladies to
find employment that is both suitable
and renumcrative are limited; their
pay is usually poor as compared with
the salaries paid to men in the same
lines of occupation. But there are
some very noted exceptions; journal
ism, drama, music and platform offer
equal advantages to men and women,
and there is one occupation in which
women are more successful than men
and that is in the management OF
agencies. In this line the Queen City
Suspender Company, of Cincinnati, o.,
are offering inducements to ladies that
we think ought TO attract attention.
They are now manufacturing and in
Producing their new Stocking Support
ers for Ladies and Children, and their
uueQualled Skirt Suspenders for
Ladies. None should be without them /;
our leading ply sicians recommend
them and are loud in their praise.
These goods are manufactured by ladies
who have made the wants of ladies and
children a study, and they ask us to
refer them to some reliable and ener-
getic lady to introduce them in this
county, and we certainly think that an
earnest solicitation in every household
would meet with ready response,
and that a determined woman could
make hadSome salary, and have an
exclusive agency. We advise some
lady who is need of employment to
send to the company her name and
address, and mention this paper. Adj

Failure of Henry's Bank.

The announcement on Saturday
morning last that Henry's bank had
made an assignment for the benefit
of its creditors caused great surprise
among our citizens, as the bank has
always been looked upon as being
in safe and sound condition. The
demands upon the bank could not
be met. owing TO its inability to OBJ
tain credit upon real estate securities
which it had to offer. The unsettled
feeling in bank circles caused by
the failure of banks in neighboring
towns, the decline in the value of
property owned by the bank the
decline in values everywhere, and
the stringency Of the money market
brought on the failure.
At this writing we are unable
to give any definite statement as to
the liabilities and assets of the bank.
The assignee, Joseph H. Gundry, is
engaged in settling up the affairs con-
nected with the assignment, placing
values upon property owned by the
bank, etc. The first report sent out
that the liabilities would amount to
about $4,000 and the assets $780,
900 is believed to be nearly correct
BY those who know most in regard
to the matter, and it is the hope
and expectation to be able to pay
dollar for dollar of Its Indebtedness;
but how far short of being able to
do so remains t. ne sea. Although
the news Of II. s5-i5ament was a
surprise to every body, depositors
generally have actc calmly in the
matter and no excitement has pre-
vailed. The excellent reputation
which the bank has long sustained
the known determination Of all con-
nected with it to conduct business
in an honest, straightforward manner
create an earnest sympathy for all
who have been overtaken by this
financial difficulty. As soon as a
statement Of the condition of the
bank can be obtained it will be given
to the public

First National Bank Of Mineral
Point.

The proprietors of the City Bank
together with a number of Other
citizens of this city, have taken the
necessary steps to establish a Ma
tional Bank to be known as the
First National Bank of Minera,
Point. According to the require.
ments of the United States law I'M
der which it is to be organized it
will have a capital of $4,000, which
will be divided into shares of $10C
each. The organization of the bank
will be effected as soon as possible
under the law. 1t will be the sue
cessor of the City Bank, the proprie-
tors of which are among the leading
share holders.
This movement has been contem-
plated for some time past, and is in
the right direction. There is no
good reason why Mineral Point can
not have a National Bank while
there are many reasons why she
ought to have one. The share hold
ers of the new bank are all promin-
nent business men, and it is quite
unnecessary for us to refer to their
well known financial standing and
business abilities. Further steps in
perfccting the organization of the
bank will be duly noted in these
columns.
