The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1891-08-01

The atmosphere on Tower avenue
is blue with "profane swearing" emni-
mating from the denizens of that part
of the city because of the removal of
their Post Office from eighth to twelfth
street. OF course it is only sort of
Real Estate boom movement. and is
contracted to stay there only five years
when some other locality can bid for
it. Post master Rice is happy, however
and refuses to look upon the tears of
his down town patrons, as he is going
to get new and much better quarters
than he now has. The building is to
be put up in 60 days, to be 4OXsO, of
brick, heated by steam with G as and
electric light, two main entrances
and windows on the four sides.
Neil Smith has completed the
work of changing things on the inside
of his store. The hall partition has
been taken out and his office moved up
to the front where he gets better light.
Then the Office partitions have been
taken out and that corner shelved
and provided with counter. The
changes have been beneficial, both for
convenience and for the general ap-
pearance of the store.
Mr.. NJ. G. Weisiger, of Danville,
KY, is in the city looking after his
landed interests here. Mr.. Weisiger
with other members of his family, own
considerable reality in Superior, among
which are two choice business lots on
West 5th street, on which he contem-
plales building fine brick business
house. 1t would pay him to do SO, and
we hope he may come to the same con-
clusion, and put up the building.
is there not good deal of non
sense in SO much talk about the close
ness of the eastern money market?
Mr. Phil. III. Perkins informs us that
he has loaned S15,s0O for eastern
parties this week. If Mr.. Perkins can
get all the eastern capital he wants
why can not our banks and other cap
itallsts get it also, and give the much
needed relief to the masses.
President Hoyt, of the Superior
Red Wing Il Southwestern road, is
credited with saying that the road will
be completed and in operation between
this city and Red Wing one year from
this fall. This statement carried out
is all that could be asked for. AS We
announced some two or three weeks
ago, the work of grading on this end
of the line will begin in a few days.
Secretary Tubbs of the school board
has completed the census of the school
children in the city and finds 1851
children between the ages of and 20
years. Of these 1,s77 are males and
! ,Sl4 are females. The total number
registered last year was 1851 and by
these figures it will be seen that this
years increase is l,634, or 50 per cent.
