West End does not present invit-

be a great resort for them if little
attention was paid to streets out

who should spur him up bit.
Government hill and the Austin

ways interesting.
Principal Schoch, of the High

calls the machine a "bike" as

Bicycle accidents rarely ever oc-

of Interest.

We copy from the Philadelphia Com
mer cial Times of May 10th, the follow
ing article of local interest.
One of the certain Indications that
pl osperity, SO long looked for is about
to rejoice all hearts, is that our mer-
chants and business man have surplus
funds to invest and are displaying their
wisdom by placing their money in real
estate rather than in stock speculations.
Yet realities have often through mis-
representation proved unsatisfactory
Hence investors find it to their advan-
tage to consult some one who is not only
thoroughly posted in regard to the pre-
sent and prospective values OF realty,
but who bears the endorsements of his
fellow citizens in regard to his through
reliability. sekh .ssieH sa Fl f5s
Among the representative real estate
men of Philadelphia and the largest
handler of farm land in this section of
the country is Mr.. D. l.. Risley, whose
business consists of real estate insurance
and conveyancing, with Office at No.
221 south Tenth street, this city, and
who has branch Offices in Pleasantville,N
j., and New York city. Mr.. Ris1ey was
formerly at Atlantic. City, but his sur
roundings there were too circumscrbed,
80 be removed to Philadelphia, occu-
pying an Office at above address. Here all
real estate matters, including the pur-
chase and sale of farms in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, and city properties,
manufacturing plants, ETC., are attended
to promptly and satisfactorily. His
knowledge ol the values Of farms renders
his services of the utmost Importance to
purchasers. He has in his employ
number of clerks who travel through out
the best growing sections in the interest
of his clients or to learn of the possible
value and purchase of farms, He has so
systematized the business that last year
he handled probably more farms than
all our other real estate men put to-
gether, which is certainly an excellent
showing. We would add that he
negotiates loans on bond, effects insur-
ance, conveyaucing, etc., doing all that
is known in.the real estate business.

Letter from Ex.MayOr DisbrOvv.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May 8, 1895,

|
To the Editor of the PRESS:
Believing few lines from an old friend
of the PRESS would be acceptable, | take
this opportunity to write, giving a little
description of my journey to this place.
We left Philadelphia Tuesday, April 23rd
by way of the. Pennsylvania Railroad,
and it seemed as we road along that we
were going through one of the most
beautiful countries that ever saw. The
fields were 80 green and buds upon
the trees We're swelling and bursting,
ready to blossom. At sunset we arrived
! at Harrisburg and tarried there few
minutes, but night coming on we could
not see much, but found nearly every lit
tie town had it's electric light, and did
not seem willing to live in darkness but
wanted to let their light shine. We ar
lived at Pittsburgh at $50 A. M, andat
sunrise we were in Ohio, (being now on
wfrat is called the Panhandle route).
We crossed the Ohio river at Steuben-
ville AS the sun rose we were gliding
along beautiful valley and the wheat
seemed to be from six to eight inches
high. The peach, apple and cherry trees
were in full bloom. The further west we
went the more vegetation was advanced.
u = arrived at Columbus, the Capitol of
Ohio between and o'clock, and stayed
tbere !, ing enough to breakfast. We then
+ook a n. ortherly course and in the after
noon wo n essed through the natural gas
in Indiana. AS we passed
through the ci, les and towns we could
see the gas pipes along the streets in full
blast We saw se veral large factories
which they told us ere run by natur al
gas as their motor pow 'er. Indiana DID
not seem to be SO prosper Gus as the otner
States that we had passed ,'nrougn. Inc
buildings were one story and small and
many were made of logs and oad oarK
roofs. The farms looked poor attnough
we saw a great many young horses and
cattle 1T seemed to be grazing state.
At4:3O P. M. we entered the limits OF
the wonderful City of Chicago, but it
took us one hour to get to the depot.
We found our train waiting for us, 80 we
ha d not time to look upon it's tall build
ings and it's beautiful lake. At 6 O'Clock
P. NJ. we climbed Il say climbed) into
the cars of the c. B. K. c. R. R. for
Quincy, Illinois, on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi river, where we arrived at IL
o'clock at night We crossed the river
INTO Missouri and at daylight we arrived
at Brookfeld, half way across the State.
We arrived at st. Joseph at s O'Clock. So
much for the. journey here. After a while
will give you my opinion OF the place.

our sincere and heartfelt thanks to Mr..
Daniel L. Risley, of 221 S. Tenth street,
Philadelphia, Pa, for his numerous and
magnificent gifts of land and money for
school and church purposes. Especially
do we feel very grateful to him for the
two acres of land for school and church
sites, also the gift of $50 toward build
ing US church. 1t is manifesting a
spirit of rare interest in the welfare of the
settlement for we are very much in need
of school house and church. In order
to start right we must build on the bed

school to be. They must go together, SO

that we do and shall continue to be
thankful to him as well as to others who
may help ue, for we need help very much.
