PARK SCHEME HAS COLLAPSED.
East Side Land Company Withdraw
Their Offer of Land.

1t Is well known that an offer of nine
acres of land for public use was made
by the East Side Park Land company
This condition was attached to the Of
fer that an amount should be spent by
the city each year sufficient to main
tain it in a suitable condition. The
proposition was made to the coun-
ellis last fall A committee Wis
tied the land and gave a favor
able report. The city solicitor re-
ported that there was no legal objection
to accepting the offer. About $500
would be the yearly expenditure. But
as there was some opposition by mem
hers of the councils to taking it under
the conditions, and as no decision was
made, Messrs. Walker and Stocker,
who represent the company, have for
mally notified the city officials that the
offer is withdrawn.
/ is said that the offer will not be
again made, but the land will be di-
vided into lots for building purposes.

Professor Munyon is 7honored today as
the leading authority in the medical
world. His new and humane methods or
treatment have swept away all the olu-
fashioned ideas of doctoring with poison
Gus drugs that create u dozen diseases IN
the effort to get rid of one. He does not
claim that he has one remedy that Will
cure all complaints, but that he has pre-
pared a specific cure for nearly every dis
ease. He does claim that Munyon's Rheu-
matism Cure will cure rheumatism; that
Munyon's Dyspepsia Cure Is a positive
cure for dyspepsia and all stomach trou-
bles; Munyon's Cough Cure cures coughs;
Munyon's Catarrh Remedies cure catarrh; {;
Munyon's Kidney cure cures kidney trol-
bles. The same may be said of all Nun
yonS different remedies. They may be
obtained at all drug stores, mostly at 20
cents a bottle.

The Rem which appeared in the
Peckville department yesterday re-
garding the arrest of John Jordan and
b. T.. Hightown appears to have been
erroneous to certain extent. Mr..
Jordan states that he was not intoXi-
Gated at the time and that his horses
were frightened by an electric car,
when they ran on the sidewalk. He
further states that the constable who
arrested him offered to settle the case
for $2.25. Jordan refused to pay this
and the two were taken before the
burgess who discharged them without
fine.
