Prof. J. E. Mannix was a pleasant
at the COURIER Office this
week. The professor has accepted
the position of principal Of the
public schools OF Prescott, Arizona,
and will leave in a few days for that
far away point. There is no person
whom the COURIER n give a heart

of scholastic work than Prof. Man

master OF his profession as a teacher
and instructor but is an accomplish
ed scholar with a complete and tull
knowledge of currents events, which
in connection with his ability as a
teacher makes his services very val
liable in whose ever employ he may
be engaged in. The professor for

success.

gained. by the aid of his unques-
talent, his merited reputation

the west. At the governors inaugu-
raj ball Mr.. Elmendorf was tho

itor of The COURIER overheard
Charles Higgins, formerly Of the
Boston Q~uartette, now of the New
York Symphony club, remark that
as an orchestra leader Mr.. Elmen-
dorf had no equal in the west. So
Sioux City may regard herself lucky
that she possesses 30 accomplished
q musician.
