Banks in Mexico.

A report from Consul Canada of Vera
Cruz says the recent increase of capital
stock effected by the Banco de Londres
y Mexico and the Banco Central Mexi-
cano, as we'll as that contemplated by
the Banco Nacional de Mexico, has
awakened among the directors of many
of the local banks desire of initiating
those institutions. The consequences
that might result from simultaneous
and altogether too rapid expansion of 2
group of financial concerns, the greater
part of which are without markets for
their stock in foreign parts and which
do not enjoy the favorable conditions
the larger concerns have succeeded in
obtaining, seem to be overlooked. Cor
sequently, for the purpose of limiting
the circulation of specie or paper money
to the necessities of the country, the
government will not permit local banks
to increase their capital stock without
first complying with certain restrictions
prescribed by a recent executive de-
partment order.

FILED PAPERS.

All candidates for county and legisla-
tive offices filled papers with the
county clerk on or before Saturday
last, which was the last day in which
they were allowed to file. For the first
time in the political history of this
county the social democrats have a
ticket in the field and it appears that
the party's state central committee has
made an effort to awaken interest in
every county in the state, for in large
number there is party organization and
county tickets. Whether the party's
efforts will make any material results
with the vote of either of the other
parties, can best be stated after cleo
ton.
Those who have filed papers with
the county clerk for nominations on
county tickets, also those who have
filed in Madison for legislative nomina-
tons in this district are;

BELONGS TO SECOND DISTRICT,

Since the town of Flieth was created
year ago there has been difference
of opinion as to which assembly district
the town belonged to. At the time the
new town was created it was made up
from part of the town of Weston, which
on account of the bulk Of that towns
territory lying on the east side of the
river, was in the Second assembly dis
triet, the river being the dividing line
between the First and Second districts
The county clerk, to be properly in
formed in the matter, last week adj
dressed letter to the secretary of state
for information and has received a re-
ply from W. l.. Houser stating that in
asmueh as the territory was formerly
in the Second district, it shall remain
so.

Importance of Salt.

Salt has had much influence in shap-
ing the civilization and exploration OF
the world. 1t is believed by many
that the oldest trade routes were
created for the salt traffic. This was
certainly the case with the caravan
routes in Libya and the Sahara,
while the mines of North India were
the center of large trade before the
time of Alexander. Salt, too, has
played a considerable part m the dis
tribution of man. He was forced to
migrate to places where it could be
obtained. This brought him to the
sea shore, where he gained his ideas
of maritime commerce. Lastly, the
preservative effects of salt on flesh
food maze lcug oceanic voyages pos
sible, end thus opened up the world
to commerce and civilization.

HAD A GOOD TIME.

Most of those who attended the sec
ond annual reunion of the Old White
School association in Stevens Point
last week, from this city, have return
ed home and report that they enjoyed a
very pleasant visit with old school
mates whom they had not seen in years.
Most everyone expressed themselves as
intending to be present at these meet
ings regularly in the years to come.
AS an evidence that the ladies of Wau-
sau, as well as the men, are engaged in
saying a good word for their city when
away from home, we quote the follow
ing taken from the Stevens Point Jour
nal:
Mrs Maria Empey Haskins told
how as a girl she yearned to initiate
some of the older girls and boys and
go to Wausau.' 1t seemed to her to be
trip that gave a person certain dis
tinction. Finally the opportunity came
to her to go to Wausau,' and she has
never been sorry that she went. OF
course Stevens Point is always home
and some of the dearest and most hal
lowed associations of her life are cen
tered here, but still in her opinion Wau-
sau is one of the prettiest, most pro-
gressive and most hospitable places on
the globe Mrs. Kate Scholfield Harger
and Mrs. Kit Alban johnson corrobor-
ated her in these remarks
Mrs. Richard Powers, formerly of
Mosinee, and well known to many
Wausau people, read very interesting
paper of "reminiscences, before the
meeting Some of the incidents she
related dealt with Mary Sweeny, of
window smashing fame, who when a
girl lived near Stevens Point.
