AGAINST THE VACATION OF La
S.ALI.E STREET.

AGAINST THE VACATION OF LA
S-ALLE STREET.
One Ct the principal events Of the week
was the development Of 4 strong opposition
among the propcrtyoWners on La Sallc
street, north Of Madison, to the vacation Of
La Salle street for the Beard of Trade. This
opposition is led by persons Of no
less consequence than tic owners
Of the Union National Bank Building, OH the
southwest corner of Washington and La
Sale. the Merchants Building opposit, and
the Merchants National Building once the
property Of the State Savings. Money has
been raised to contest the closing OF the
street, and it will be fought through tile
courts from first to last with determination.
The position the contestants will take Is that
4 street once opened by assessment to the
public cannot be closed again for Il private use
This litigation cannot fail to greatly eAlbarrass
the Board OF Trade iii its plans to find new
quarters at the south end OF La Sal1c street.
which case the ObjectorS to the vacation Of
La Sale street will lose much more than
they can gain by blocking the removal now
projected. II the Board Of Trade leaves La
Sale street altogether, property OIL that thor
oIEhtare from end to end will suffer mnch
more than by the vacation. PERHAPS the
Board OF Trade will do the sensible thing.

or, il more convenient, that the Committee

make such inquiry, and report to the Board
ut Il meeting tn be held on Monday night.
The difficulty between the Board of Ednca-
ti0n and the First National Bank about the
old Post-Oi1ice lot Gnd building does not grow
less: On Tuesday night the proposition Of
the First National Bank for reappraise-
lncnt will come up, unless The whole matter
is previously settled. OF this latter issue
there is some hop., rs it is believed that both
parties call find common ground of agree
1llcrt.
If the Boa~d of Education refuse reap
praiseucnt, and no compromise is reached,
thore will prt'Dably he Il lawsuit. The First
National have secured III writing from Presi-

lot, which Is nearly one-tllirtl smaller than
the other, the Board OF Education want
S25,GW more, or SS3;i5, quo Tor the land alone
Another evidence of the unfairness Of the
anpraiSenlent is that it charges Sl,S0O /. foot
for the Posl-oi1ice lot, while for the Boards
property on the other side Of Dearborn
street, where the Blair Il CrilIy build
Ing stands, the valuations were but
$1,000 4 foot for the corner and
$50 to $500 4 foot fur the inside frontage.
The process by which tho appraisers Of the
Eoard of Education reached their valuation

Vitalis, Wealthy Citizen of FrancOnia-
Anxiety of Friends.
A large number of the residents of this city
and the town of Franconia are agitated over
the sudden and mysterious disappearance of a
well known and influential citizen of the latter
place named Charles Vitalis, who was last seen
in this city last Thursday evening.
Mr.. Vitalis, who is an extensive wood
dealer and the proprietor of u store at Fran
coma, arrived in st. Paul week ago to-day,
to look after an important law suit, in which
Costain & Cleary were the defendants, the
amount involved being $3.50.
de brought with him his bookkeeper and an
important witness in the case, all three of the
parties putting up at Paul Faber's, on West
Third street The suit was to have been called
in the district court last Saturday 1t was in
sttuted to enforce payment of the amount
named, and arose from extensive transactions
day evening Mr.. Vitalis was seen on West
Third street near Faber's by Mr.. Murnane, of
the firm OF Murnane & Donahue.
Inc compliments of the evening were passed,
Mr. Vltalls appearing in usual health and
spirits. According to the best information
TINS Is the last time he was seen in this city.
he did not return to his rooms and search
WAS instituted tne next morning, Dul nOlnlng
was developed of his whereabouts. A mes
senger was sent to Franconia on the theory
that he might have suddenly made up his
mind to return home. A resident of that
place arrived in st. Paul last evening and
stated that he had not been home, and that his
family and friends were suffering great anxiety
at his sudden disappearance.
Mr.. Vitalis was man of sober habits, fine
looking, affable, and agreeable, and he usually
carried considerable money upon his person.
Up to last night not The slightest clue had
been found that might lead to the discovery of
his whereabouts. 1t is feared that he has been
foully dealt with. Should he not turn up, the
case will be given to the police to-day.

Among all the various Improvements upon
old methods which have been made during the
last twenty years, there are few more marked
than the improved modes which have been dis
covered for preparing fruits and vegetables in
such manner as to cause them to retain their
original fresh taste and flavor for a great
,ength of time. In the old days the good
housewife during the long winter and spring
had to restrict her varieties of tea table "sauce"
almost entirely to such as could be prepared
from dried fruits of various kinds, with an
occasional dish of preserves" the main STA
pie being "apple sass" and stewed peaches.
For the dinner table, with the exception of
such vegetables as could be preserved in their
original state in the cellar, there was a very
limited variety indeed, "hulled corn and
:'dried pumpkin" comprising nearly the en-
tire list. Now all that is changed, and the
most noted packers, working entirely by sci
entihc methods, are enabled to preserve and
can every fruit and vegetable that grows, in
such a manner that when opened months af-
forwards it would be almost Impossible to ten
from taste alone that they were not freshly
plucked from tree, stalk or vine. The extent
to which this industry has been developed is
enormous, and it has almost created a house
hold revolution, there being now no excuse
for more meagre table in winter than in sum-
mer and the low price at which these goods
=
nearly all. OF course they vary in quality the
same as does the fruit or vegetable in its nat
ural state, and prices are graded Tor should be)
in accordance with the quality of the article
sold. The most celebrated packers, who man.
ufacture only for the wholesale trade, use the
choicest varieties of fruits obtainable, and re-
ject all of inferior quality. Other packers use
fruits and vegetables of common or inferior
qualities, put them up in q less expensive
manner, ana OF course can sell their product
at lower price.
AS an illustration of the almost endless va
riety of canned goods now manufactured, we
will enumerate portion of that class of stock
We have now on hand, all from the most cele-
brated establishments, and warranted fresh and
of best quality:
VEGETABLES.
Green Peas, five different varieties, including
imported French Peas, String Beans Stringless
Beans, Champion Beans, White Lima Beans,
Mushrooms, Asparagus, Asparagus Tips,
Green Corn, Succotash, Tomatoes, canned
Pumpkins for pies. All of the above in sever
al varieties.
FRUITS.
Peaches, several varieties, both in tin and
glass, Pears, Ounces, Cherries, Plums, ,Prunes,
Apricots, Pineapp!es, Lines, awberries,
Blackberries and Raspberries, besides an al.
most endless variety of foreign and domestic
fruits put up in different forms, such as "pre-
serves" 'jams,' % ''brandied," "pickled," etc,
We will sell any of these goods at the very
lowest market rates for similar qualities.
