Prominent Business Change.

Any change of proprietors or mat
agement in a we'll establ shed aud
prominent business house OF a com
munity, is matter of general com
ment and interest. The announce
ment that Mr.. Edward Brown, City
Clerk, had become member of the
popular merchantile firm of Gundry
d Gray, could but command atten-
ton in this city. The extensive deal
ings of the firm for SO many years
with the people of this community,
and its gilt edge reputation for relia-
bility in all things, makes all that
affect it a matter Of public concern.
When, as in this case, the change
brings into connection with the bus
mess, one who is known as eXcep-
tionally worthy and fit to have part
therein, public interest becomes pub
lie qualification.
Mr.. VIM. p. Gundry, owing to the
demands upon his time in the care
of other interests, decided to retire
from the merchantile business, and
after consultation with his associ-
| ates, sold his individual share there
in to Mr. Edward Brown, so long and
| favorably known as u salesman in the
store From childhood Mr.. Brown
has been known to this people. In
various capacities his worth has been
proved, aud in becoming member
of the leading business house of the
county, he has nnstinted conoratula-
tions. success to The recognized
i firm of Gundrv d Gray

Death of Miss Eta Cook.

There il special sadness when
death comes to one in the spring
time of life. as in the case of NJ ISIS
Eta, the Is year-old daughter Of Mr..
o. :. Cook, who died of pneumonia
Thursday, Jan. I'd inst. Deceased since
coming to our city with her parents
about three years ago, had won her
way to general favor among her
school mates and young associates,
who are sincere mourners with the
afflicted family Oct. lst just three
months ago, death took the mother
from the same household, and at the
time Of the daughters death and
burial, a son, William, aged %, was
so critically i'll with the same dis
eased that he could not safely be
Informed that his sister had been
taken from The household.
On Sunday the fair young form
was laid away in Gracelaud Gene
terry, after services at the M. f.
church, the Sunday school, of which
she was member, forming process
sion, with pail bearers of her class
mates. The sadly afflicted father,
brothers and sisters nave general
sympathy of young and old in the
community.

Prideaux q Bliss.

Beginning with the New Year Mr..
w. r. Bliss becomes IA partner with
his uncle, Mr.. w. II. Prideaux, the
we'll known druggist of Mineral
Point, and hereafter the business will
be conducted under the firm name Of
PrideauX d Bliss. In the many years
of his connection with the drug bus
mess this city, Mr.. Prideaux has won
recognition as an expert pharmacist
and reliable, enterprising business
man and citizen. These qualities
have brought him liberal patronage
and success in his line. For several
recent years Mr.. Prideaux has relied
largely upon his nephew, Mr.. VIM.
P. Bliss, graduate in pharmacy and
thoroughly familiar with the various
departments Of the trade. well fitting
him for the duties and responsibili-
ties Of Il partnership. Few young
men of the city enjoy so much of
public confidence and esteem as Mr..
Bliss, and his name connected with
the prosperous business that he has
helped to manage as an employe,
will undoubtedly strengthen and eX
tend its popularity.

No School in State So Bad.

The inspector who visited our city
High School representing the Uni
versity Committee on Accredited
Schools, makes Il favorable report of
the conduct of the school. and the
committee recommends that it be
cont nucd on the accredited list for
all courses except the modern CLASH
cal. But commenting on the bull l.
Ing, the inspector is not compliments
AIRY. as in fact he could not be and
have proper regard for truth. The
secretary Of the committee, in a let
ter to our school board, says:
much credit should be given for
the successful effort which has been
made to make the old building in
which your high school is housed
habltable and agreeable to live in.
In spite of all these efforts the fact
remains there is probably no school
OF equal size in the state of Wiscon
sin which is housed in such an mad
equate old building; 1875 pupils are
entitled to more space than your pu
pills have, and neither they nor their
teachers car do their best under |
such extremely unfavorable coudi-
tions. 1t is hoped that the citizens |
of Mineral Point may see their way |
clear To construct new building in |
the immediate future
How long will the rich and pres
porous city of Mineral Point allow 1t |
70 be officially reported that 40
school OF it's size in the state is so |
niserably housed.

Mayor Weschcks the mayor elect has
been connected with the city council
more or less since 1870 when he was a
councilman. In 1877 he was appointed
as mayor and the following year was
elected; and successlvely since that time,
with the exception Of the years he was
out of the city, whenever he has been
candidate he has been elected. His
birth seems to have been under a lucky
star as far as that goes. He has been a
resident OF this city since 1860, is a
polished gentleman of the old German
school and man whose handshake
carries with 1t that inbred sincerity that
makes him at cnce your friend. He is
loved by the citizens of New Ulm be-
cause OF the past when he was the enly
phys'cian in the city aud during the
Massacre when lie, in common with them,
was prominent factor in those stirring
events that. bound mems hearts together
with bands of friendship more enduring
than steel. Lila
The council elect is the choice of the
people; there is no change from last
year; which is perhaps the best thing for
the city under :he present conditions.
No thorough business man would want
to undertake the task the coupcil has
given itself, and expect to live in the
city fer the next twenty years, without
calling forth the condemnation of the tax
payers during that time. It is expect.
ed Of them THAT they will successfully
carry Though the installation Of COM
.plete electric light plant and pay for it
out OF the sum voted for that purpose.
The city has been promised the assurance
that they will keep faith with that propo-
sition. If they do that the Review will
gladly take back all 1t has said regard
ing the proposition; il they don't, the
pc ople have then been deceived. 35
