Gov. John p. Altgeld of Illinois, who
has been in Ashevile for the past week
recuperating his broken health, left in
his private car for Atlanta, Ca, on the
O'Clock train this morning. During
his stay here Governor Altgeld was
wonderfully improved, and his trip
further South was really ruse of his
physician to prevent his patient from
returning home and resuming his official
duties before he was able to do SO.

physician, was charmed with Asheville.
and highly gratiied at the Governors

as a resort for a number of years. and so
have other members of my profession,
but the great mass of our people know
little or nothing of Asheville."

II sent two Chicago men to Asheyllie,
one of them being the most complete
wreck from nervous prostrat1on that
