The Realty Outlook.

The inquiry for business property
during the past week has been very
brisk, and the market shows very
healthy tone. A number of Chicago
business men of more or less means
have been in the city looking for down.
town property OH which to build bust
ness blocks, not for rent, but their own
individual use. Many of these men have
been shown pieces of property at prices
which they seemed to regard as reason
able, and it may be safely said that dur
ing the next two or three weeks several
important sales will be made to men
Whowill build at once and occupy their
buildings with mercantile business
houses, either branch concerns or re-
moSals from Chicago or other cities.
Few large sales can be reported, but
those that have taken place show de-
cided advance in prices. An instance
of this was lot on Ashland avenue,
Sold-laSt week at $4,000, which was Of
fered about six weeks ago for $4,000. j.
William, who made this sale, expressed
the =Opinion yesterday that this rise of
1211zz, per cent was general through
out the best class of residence
property, and thought that it would
keep on steadily advancing for
cations that an extension of the cable
line; or new street car or motor line is
needed to penetrate the unsettled Mid
waysdistrict. The best residence prop
ertyis almost all taken up, and facilities
for-Hving farther out are badly needed.
The difficulty of getting out to the bet
ter class of suburbs is naturally making
itself felt in an increase of value of in
side building lots. That this Increase
has not yet brought property up to its
real value is easily seen by comparing
st. Paul prices with those of other
cities of the same size. A decided rise
in values has already commenced, and
that it will continue there can be little
or no doubt. The few auction sales of
the past week have demonstratedsthe
low prices that had been hitherto
asked for property. The best ana
quickest way to cause an immediate
rise is to work hard for the proposed ex-
tensions of rapid transit facilities. This
will cause rapid sale of suburban lots,
and will have marked effect on those
inside. A good healthy, activity in real
estate would he of great benefit to st.
Paul just now. and those who want to
see, it, and to increase the value of their
own land, should 60 and zee either

NEW YORK EXCITED!
The Investigations of our Corre-
spondent upon the Latest Subject
of General Interest in the Mctrop-
oils.
New York Correspondence


New York Correspondence
"New York City has been more excited
during the past month over the revelations
which some of the best known scientists
have made than about anything that has
occurred before in years. Among the clubs,
wherever men and women cOngregate for
social exchange of thought, in business cir
cles and in professional life have found
one leading topic of conversation namely:
the alarming increase Of the great national
disease-P aresis. A few years ago this
modern malady was almost unknown; now
it seems to be the most dreaded of all dis
eases. The best doctors are discussing it,
The Boards Of Health are investigating 1t
and scientists generally are aroused. In
sanity. pure and simple, was bad enough,
but believe Paresis is infinitely worse,
both in its subtlety and far-reaching results.
"Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, the highest
authority In America on mental and nervous
diseases says: 1T is disease incident to the
rapid life OF tn is country. In many cases it
is dependent upon vice and not upon actual
overwOrk alone. Alcoholism and syphilitic
disease are frequently inducing causes"
arrests shows itself in many different
forms. Inability to remember and place
some familiar face; a pain or tightness in the
brain; frequent watering OF the eyes; absent
mindedness; desire to sleep but impOssibility
to do so; a flushed face one day and pale
one the next; special redness Of the face
and eyes; these are few Of the many warm
ings Of the approach Of this dreaded disease.
Like most new Affections, physicians
have found difficulty III producing cures.
Like most great discoveries, however, one
man foresaW the evil, and provided for it.
That man was the late Prof. Phelps, of Dart,
mouth College. He knew men required
something heretofore unknown to the world,
and his investigations resulted in the dlscoy-
cry Of Paines Celery Compound. 1t is ad-
mitted by the best medical talent of this city
that this Compound is the only discovery ca
pable of checking Paresis, or restoring
the brain, and its popularity in New York is
phenomenal. have been surprised to learn
how generally it is being used, and have
been equally surprised to hear of its results.
Senator Evarls, whose summer residence is
near that of the late Prof. Phelps and who
has known of this Compound since its dis
covery, has used it with great success. Dr.
Small, of the N. Y. County Medical Associa-
ton, says that in nervous prostration, in.
somnia, and even chronic alcoholism follow
ing delirium tremens, it has been perfect in
its power. On every hand hear good words
for it, and the sentiment of New York city is
entirely in its favor

How the Hill Was Built Up.

81. L. Williams relates the circum-
stances connected with building the
first street car line up st. Anthony hill,
which are very interesting as an illus
tration of the way things are certain to
go when this new line is built. He says
that he was one of the first to build
house on the hill, and efforts were made
to induce the car company to build
line up there. They figured the thing
out and said that if bonus of S25 lot
were given them they would build.
This bonus was raised, and as soon as
the lot was built not a lot could be
bought at under $500 advance. This
was not much more than ten years ago,
and men regarded St. Anthony hill as
being away out in the country. 1t is
not country now by any means.
To-day the Midway district, and
more especially the southern part
Iof 1t, is looked upon as being
decidedly rural. Ten years from now
Iit will be built up just as much as St.
IAnthony Hill is today. The extension
iOf the cable-car line will cause lots that
ARE Fselling for $1,000 to sell for from
$4,000 to $1,000 in the short space of
for. every dollar put in in the shape of a
bonus, over 500 will be made. If any
should shirk they will regret it, as the
line cannot be built without, and with
out the line the property will remain at
the present low prices for no one knows
how long: in fact, if, by any holding
back on the part of the owners, the
scheme falls through, all Midway prop
erty will drop in price on the strength
of the poor prospect for rapid transporta-
ton. Work has commenced on the sewer
and grading of Selby avenue, and the
petition for the widening is being signed
by all who own frOntages on the street.
1t should not. be supposed that the
dedication Of ten feet all along each
side of the avenue means an immediate
widening. For several years there will
be no necessity for wider street than
now, as traffic will not become thick
enough. But the extra width will be
an absolute necessity when houses
begin to get as thick between Dale
street and Fairview avenue as they are
now east of Dale street. The value of
property will be greatly enhanced by
the broad street, and without it Selby
avenue would become nothing but
side street, as cable cars running at the
rate of over twelve miles an hour
would seriously injure the street
for traffic, if it were no
WIDER than IL now IS. Inc
proposition to devote the 100000 bonus
to building an independent line is ridi-
culed by the property owners, who say
that line from the Ryan hotel along
Sixth street and Marshall avenue would
cost just about 100000 to build, if the
franchise could be obtained, which is
matter of doubt; and suppose it were
possible. they would not care to parallel
the present line, Observation-Disclosures

to grant the present company's de-
mand or leave the thing alone.

Most of the large property owners have

who have not yet done so have signified
their intention of SO doing as soon as
they can verify the figures, both Of

This only leaves the men who own a
few lots, but they are legion. Over 900
men own an average of two to three lots
apiece, and it is certain that all of them
cannot be personally visited. Fifty
per cent of these men are non-residents,
and circulars are being prepared to he
sent to each of them. A vast
amount of trouble will he saved
if those who own property
will come up voluntarily and sign the
subscription lists. 1t is a mistake to
suppose that the line can be built unless
everybody comes up with his money,
for there remains over SAC, 1000 to be
raised in small amounts of from s25 to
