An exchange has the Sitnation nro

An exchange has the situation prop
erly summed up when it says: Enter
prising newspaper men expect to
hustle for neWs-it is their business.
Nevertheless in a town where eyery-
body knows everybody, and news
paper man has to be a man of all work
in his business, it is fair to ask people
to give him an occasional pointer on
personal mention. It is not possible
for one man to see and note all ar
rivals, and some names are sure to be
omitted. When you have visitors
they are certain to be human enough
to expect that their presence will be
noted along with other visitors, and if
their names are omitted it is natural
that they should wonder why your
particular guests are sighted. For
the sake of the visitor and the reputa-
ton Of the town, then, be sure such
omissions do not occur. 1t is mat
ter of business, and all who have
guests at their homes or boarding
places advance business interests by
securing the publication of their
names.

Repairing Roads With q Road Scraper.

In ordinary repairs the road machine
plays an important part, its use being in
the main to give shape by dragging
back materials that have long since
ceased to be of any value. So long as
roads are built of material that is loose
and ruts up, the road scraper will be of
great value in repairing. But the result
cannot be considered satisfactory as a
road SO repaired will not increase tho
load per horse and will to but a limited
extent shed water,
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1893-07-07
ROAD SCRAPER.

Water below but near the surface is
a destroying element, and the whole
theory and practice are to get 1t out and
keep it out. There is no division of
opinion on this point. The division
comes on the cheapest and most practical
way of doing this. A dirt road, under
cover, would doubtless give satisfaction
to light travel, and it would probably
retain its shape for a long time If sprin-
kied just enough to prevent dust form
ing and not enough to make mud

FINANCIAL CRASH IN ROME
The Credit Mobiiier. Driven 10 the wnii
Buspends Payment.

LoNDoS. Nov. 3O.-A special despatch from
Rome says that the Credit Mobilier Of that city
has suspended payment The news OF the
suspension has created deep impression
owing to the various branches the concern had
In Inherent parts Of Italy. all the depositors In
which will suffer severely.
The failure is attributed TO the fall in rentea.
II is believed that the Credit Mobilier was
lately engaged in syndicate operations on the
Boursc with tho object Of raising It's falling
credit. Eumors regarding the stability Of the
concern have been current on the Bourso for
some time.
The withdrawal OF deposits and accounts
began on Nov. l. and SO. 200. 900 has been paid
out since then. The concern was Obliged to
stop in consequence Of the run. After lively
discussion among the directors last night the
Board decided that u was unable to accept
tho conditional offers OF aid made by the Ma
tional Bank. and It was therefore decided to
suspend. II Is believed that had it not been
for the present financial crisis. the Govern
mont would h0ve assisted the concern.
1t IL impossible to predict accurately the re-
suits Of tho Credit 1Iobiier failure. Many
other failures will certainly follow II. Genoa
suffers most. Bourses thero and in Florence
closed alter the announcement of the collapse.
The effect Of tho crash will be evident here to-
will go into liquidation. The creditors Of the
Credit Mobllirr including depositorB. number
more than 10000.
The suspension OF tho Credit Mobilicr has
caused panic in the stock market hero. De-
positors in the General Bank in Rome and
elsewhere are drawing out their money in con-
sequence Of It's connection with the Credit
Mobilier.
1t is reported tonight that moratorium. or
legal postponement Of obligation to pay. will
he granted TO the Credit Nobilicr The mana
gers OF the institution say that careful exam
lnation has shown that more than three
fourths Of It's assets ore intact. Tho morato-
rum was requested merely because the insti-
tuition was unable to realize on it's property

who have joined these thirty in tho formation
OF another club to play only the whist Of Cav

The Whist Club ls not an Incorporated asso.

playera At one time the membership Of the
club was as large as 172. II is limited 60 $50
but at the time Of tho secession by the thirty
who objected to bridge whist was about 200
short Of the limit. The mem bership however
included many men prominent In society and
In the professions. and IL was considered no
mean thing to belong to tho Whist Club.
1t was about six months ago that the club
permitted a departure from the rules laid
down by Cavendish and wink ed nt an innova-
tion by an out-oi-town member who spends
the better part OF the year In Paris. This now
game was called bridge whist It is whist,
but with so many added possibilities for
gambling In its rules that the pleasure OF
winning game by skilful play is lost sight OF
