finally it was decided to put woman
in the Mayors office and see il some
change for the better could not be
wrought.
Those who know Mrs. Wissler
have no doubt that she will solve the
problem with determination, and at
the same time with tolerance. She
has lived so long in the big outdoor
country" that she knows its ques-
tons are different from those of old
err communities and demand different
treatment. But life has been hard
fight for her and she has delighted On
overcoming difficulties.
Mrs. Wissler has two grown chill
dren and says that politics has been
a pleasant field of work for her ever
since her home duties ceased.
There's more devilment here than
in most cities many times the size,
said one OF the new Mayors boomers
IF Aunt Susan can hold down the
job here she wouldn't have any trou-
Bile bossing New York or Chicago.
We're going to give her lots of elbow
room and plenty of help, and we be-
lieve that it isn't going to hurt things
bit to have crackerjack house
keeper and business woman in charge
of Dayton for awhile"

NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP
DEDICATED SUNDAY
Presbyterian Church at Hurricane Com
pleted and Furnished, and is
Free From Debt.

The dedication of the new Presby-
terrain church at Hurricane, last Sun
day was a very successful and impress
sive occasion In spite of the gloomy
weather large number of people had
gathered from far and near to witness
church was filled far above its
capacity. The many flowers, the at
tentive audience and the thoughtful
and excellent preaching together
created a spiritual and impressive
tenor through the whole festivity. It
was day that vii linger long in
the memory of the hurricane people,
and it has brought new visions and
inspiration to the members and
friends uf the church.
The speakers of the day were: Rev.
A. q. Kruse and Rev. VIM. G.
Lauhe. of Dubuque, Iowa, and Rev.
Eastman, pastor Of Baptist church Of
our city. Their sermons formed a
| beautiful unit Rev. Kruse showed
in clear and persuasive manner
Gods ownership Of his people; be-
cause of his creating them, forming
them, redeeming them and calling
them by the outward and inward
spiritual call to be his children.
Rev. Laube who preached the
dedicatory sermon spoke about the
sacrednesss and holiness Of God S
house and the necessary reverence
of the worshipper for Gods sanctuary.
Rev. Eastman gave comprehensive
scope of the moral and spiritual in
fuence of the Christian church dur
ing all the centuries of its history.
God grant that these important
facts may not SO soon be forgotten but
lead our lives toward goodness and
usefulness.
Let it be understood by all that
this church just given over to God for
his service and praise is not only for
a few, nor for the members only and d
few friends, but God extends an
invitation to all who have no spiritual
home to feel at home IN His church
and receive of the bread and water
Of life freely.
The Presbyterian church is the one
with wide open doors to all races and
classes. IF you come you will find
a cordial reception and place Of
usefulness in God s kingdom. A. q.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1912-05-22
BUSINESS BLOCKS
CHANGE OWNERSHIP
Past Week Noted More Import
ant Real Estate Transfers.
Basford Building Bought by Louis Weber
and Oswald Building by Henry
Henkel.

There has been mole activity r.
real estate devoted to mercantile
purposes in Lancaster during the past
two weeks than has taken place he
fore in years. Last week we noted
the purchase of Reeds opera house
block by j. D. Hatch. This was fol-
lowed, a couple of days later, by
Louis Weber, the shoeman, buying
the Basford building, at present &C.
cupied by the store of David Crichton
& Co. opposite the east side of the
court house square, and the purchase
from John Oswald by Henry Henkel
of the three story brick build
ing occupied by the store of H. Henkel
& Co. on East Maple street.
As was stated last week Mr.. Weber
will have to vacate his present store
when alterations begin on the Nc
Donald block, for the enlargement of:
the Union State Bank quarters, which.
will probably be in about six weeks.
This will compel Crichton q Co. to.
vacate their rooms, which will be
more or less rearranged by Mr.. Weber
for his own use.
A new location for Crichton & Co.
has not yet been definitely decided
upon, but there are several PROPOSE
tions under consideration. They
have made very many alterations and
improvements in the store they oc-
cupy. during the past year and. had
gotten it just about as they wanted
it. It is therefore an unfortunate
thing for them that they will be re-
quired to take up a new location and
practically dc their work all over
again.
An option has been taken by erich
ton & Co. upon the brick building
owned by Mrs Mitchell. Immediately
south of the county Jail property, and
they are now considering the matter
of completely remodeling and enlarg-
ing the same. with a new and modern
front, etc for their new quarters
Plans and estimates TO that end are
now being made.
Oscar Heberlein was wise enough
to purchase the building he occupies,
from NJ. NJ. ZiCelar. several weeks
ago.
The building west of the Boston
store. recently vacated by the Gross
Music House and Frank Kofler's
tailoring establishment, is being over
hauled and put in good repair and
will be occupied within a few days
by the millinery store of Mrs. F. @.
Burr, now located liz the north rooms
in the First National Bank building.
AS soon as vacated these rooms wilt
again be occupied by Hoffman &
Tiedemann in connection with their
restaurant and ice cream parlors.
