THE COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE.

The newly organized Commercial
Exchange of this city are not acting
wisely in delaying the completion of
their organization. The time is very
short in which auy effective work can
be accom- olished that will benefit the
city this year. The business of ad.
vertising this city should now be we'll
under way. The winter season
is the one during which the
northern capitalist and the north
ern pleasure and health seeker
hunts for a warmer climate. 1t is
not reasonable to suppose that in
three Or four months from now any
considerable influx of northern visi-
tors can be induced 10 come as far
south as this. 1t must be remember
ed, also that other places in this
vicinity, that are within about one
hundred miles of this place, have
been advertising extensively for
one and two years past.
In some instances the heavy
investments made as the re-
suit of such advertisements have
proved dead investments and the cap
ital locked up there is standing mon
ument against the advertising move
ment. Not only so, in many other
states this advertising work through
newspapers of all kinds, through
Autographs, through special pic
torial editions, through every pos
sible combination of printers ink, has
been carried on to an extent unpar-
alleled in the history of advertising;
and, it is question to be considered,
how far the limited means at the dis
posal of the Exchange can make
he4dway In the midst of the tens of
thousands of dollars of advertising
competition it must meet from
other sources. 1t is plain that new
methods must be resorted to and a
very wise and sagacious policy a
d 'pted of success even in any moder-
ate degree Is to crown its work.

very hest men named in it's directory

The present city officials are:
Mayor, Il. ID. oho"a'tel'
Alderman, N. Z. Dist. w. F. McGonigal.
Aid. N. w. Dist, Henry Muesse.
Aid 8 r. Dist. John Carthew.
Aid. S. w. Dist, RUDE BLACK.
Justice of the Peace, I. +. BALDWIN.
If these gentlemen can be prevailed
upon TO continue to serve for another
wear. a better selection could not be
made. These gentlemen have served
the city eonscientiously and well, they
are all business men with business
business principles, and that is
lust what is needed in the conduct OF
the city's affairs. They are all known
and popular, and the republicans shonid
unite on their denomination at the
caucus.
In the second place the HERALD does
not approve of making an entire change,
or any change at all Inside OF two or
three years where incumbepts perform
their duties in a satisfactory manner.
1t is not possible to grasp in moment
the needs of the city best adapted TO the
majority of its citizens. 1t would take
an entire new council almost half the
first year TO thoroughly grasp the stu
alton. and be in trim TO act effectively.
The term of Office should be changed TO
at least two years, electing half the
council ON alternate years, and the
Mayor every second year.
While on this subject it is not amiss
to speak Of the compensation of Mayor
and aldermen. At present they do not
even get thanks for work done. The
mere meeting once month for routine
business is not very eXacting, and most
men will do it for the honor, but when
it comes to extra sessions and committee
work, often taking hours during the
busiest time of day, it is too much to
ask for nothing. Business men cannot
afford to donate the time, and as the
city grows this question will become
more prominent, and will have to be
soon settled if the city expects the SER
vices of men of ability. A perdiam for
actual time given the city business
would be no more than just, and would
command for tho city closer attentions
to details than can be otherwise secured

Shullsburg Pick ~ Gad:-About two
o'clock Tuesday afternoon our citizens
were startled by the continuous blowing
of the whistles at the Little Giant Mine
belonging to the Wisconsin Lead and
Zinc Co., near this city. A telephone
message received by agent Birmingham
stated that portion of The mine had
caved and asked that physicians be sent
Immediately. DIR. Gatriot fastened TO
the mine and in few moments further
telephone messages stated that two men
were killed The report was soon con-
firmed and it was learned that Jerry
Harry and Metcalf Hillary had been
crushed 10 death by masses of heavy
falling rock at the mouth Of drift that
was being run into a Hill on the western
part of the big open cut at the Little
Giant NINE. w. L. Oats had few
moments before been sent out on an
errand, Jerry Harry taking his place
during his absence, and TO that circum-
stance Oates probably owes his escape
from death. John Sullivan and John
Troy had started toward the drift and
were within few feet Of it when the
accident took place. A horse and cart
had just been backed into the mouth of
the drift and Harry and Hillary had
commenced loading the cart when the
falling rock startled the animal and it
ran away ami was caught by Mr.. Oates
Jerry Harry was an old and experienced
miner who has resided here for years.
He leaves a wife and seven children.
Metcalf Hillary leaves wife and two
children, besides an aged mother and
brothers and sister to whom his sud
den death comes with appalling severity.

increditable as the report seemed. it
proved to be true. The discovery was
made by Mr.. w. p. Peters, whose store
is in the same building with that of
Edyvean Bros, of which firm Mr..
Edyvean was the senior partner. On
going to the loft he discovered Mr. Ely

NOTICE
How Farmers are Taxed.

1t is not uncommon to hear our far
mers complain of the taxes they have to
pay Sometimes they are too high and
the payment Of them could be largely
lessened by increasing the productive
power of an acre eff ground. For in
stance a farmer who sOws poor seed,
raises scrub stock, or buys antiquated
or imperfect implements, must certainly
pay proportionately high taxes. Not to
mention the improvement he might
make by getting the best seed and live
stock. he could buy Deering Binder or
Mower. save money in the harvesting
of his grain and grass crops.
