Hall park proposition and treats it as. fol-

Regarding the rescquisition of the property
in front oil the City Hal on Market street and
City Hall avenue, from Market 10 McAllister,
IL would seem though there were no ques-
ton but what public opinion is largely in
favor OF it, provided 1t could be done without
much cost TO the taxpayer. The assessed
value, as given bv our expert, OF the whole
space is So, 1886, ,760.
An estimated value has been put upon 1t by
an experienced real estate dealer OF So, ,S0O,-
600 on the whole site. If it were deemed best
only part of it could be taken, and would,
no doubt accomplish what was needed. II
the reacquirement is TO be made IL should be
soon, as each year Will add to the value. We
are advised tnat there is ample law for con-
demnation proceedings, in which a compe-
tent jury would decide as to the value OF the
land and impr ovements.
The adoption OF bond issue to pay for
the Improvements is advocated.
The Sheriff's office, the Justices courts,

FRUIT is GOOD.

A celebrated physician divides fruit
Into five classes, each possessing
special curative value-the acid, the
sweet, the astringent, the oily and the
mealy.
Cherries, Strawberries, raspberries,
gooseberries, peaches, apples, lemons
and oranges belong to the acid fruits
and have great merit. Cherries, how
ever, are prohibited TO those who have
neuralgia of the stomach; strawber-
ries and raspberries are recommended
to those of bilious temperaments and
denied to those in whom diabetes is sus-
pected.
OF the sweet fruits plums prevent
govt and articular rheumatism. The
grape is given the very first place.
There is what is known in Europe as
the grape cure. which provides that for
several days the patient eats nothing
but grapes, consuming from one to two
pounds daily, with a gradual increase
to ten pounds. After few days Of this
diet the appetite improves, and an in
creased capacity to endure fatigue is
noticed. The grape cure is especially
suited to persons who are an@mic, rheu-

A CURE FOR AsTHMAtr
bicycling Is Good for PersODsgtlt
Weak Respiratory Orgap4n -

Weak Respiratory OrgaPtn -
The value of bicycle riding for that
portion of humanity suffering from
divers ailments that may be benefited
by exercise is no longer disputed very
largely. An English physician who has
made the study of bicycle riding as it
pertains to asthmatic persons the OBJ
ject of special research has come out
unqualifedly in favor of the use OF
the wheel.
Asthma, according to the generally
accepted idea, may be cured, or, at least,
relieved, by exercising the respiratory
organs. Asthma is known by great
many as shortness of breath. The
slightest exertion out u the ordinary
causes palpitation of the heart and a
choking, half suffocated feeling. The
face and head become extremely warm
and flushed, and the sensation of ex-
IRENE discomfort has depressing eff
feet upon the system.
Nearly all first beginners on the BIZ
cycle find hill climbing decidedly an
noying. The heart throbs with each
in heat waves over the body. Perspira
ton is greatly accelerated. and hill
climbing is voted a nuisance. Constant
practice, however, if the heart be
sound, soon enables cyclists to climb
ordinary hills with a comparative de-
gree of comfort.
1t was the resemblance of the symp-
toms of asthma to the trials of the hill
climber that induced the physician who
investigated the subject to experiment
with cycle riding upon asthmatic "a
TENTS.
He found, first of all, that bicycle rid
ing whether by invalids or by well per-
sons, increased the depth of breathing
without fatigue. More air was taken
into the lungs to aerate the blood.
Chest expansion increased slightly.
The patient with asthma could not
ride very far at first without wheeling
and coughing. AT night he choked up
about as badly as ever. Little by little,
day after day, this wore off, and at
length, after year of moderate riding,
it dawned upon him one day that he was
so much improved that a ride of 80 or
40 miles did not fatigue him in the least.
Furthermore, all that disagreeable
tightness over the chest at night from
which he had suffered for years was
gone.
In another year he could ride so miles
where he had been able to ride 25, and
without any discomfort. During the
winter he rode indoors.
To-day he is practically well. Amer
lean physicians, who have studied the
subject, are inclined to agree with the
theory of the bicycle cure for asthma.
At least half dozen instances are cited
in New York of men who seem to be
partially cured by the judicious use of
the wheel.

The flowers in bloom. We turned the SOD.
And waited sun and rain, and God
Painted the blossoms while we slept.

And in the roses blossomings
And now flush of crimson lies
Upon the naples leafy crest,
And southwark from its summer nest
The last belated swallow flies;
And one would touch thy garments hem
Whose sweet eyes hold past days in them

A fortune teller told him when he started
westward. hoi
That oft he'd be way up in life, and often
way down low;
That when he'd rise in the world, he'd with
him carry men,
But when on the descending course he'd
bear them down again.
He laughed these prophecies to scorn; said
he would rise all right,
But he would surely hold a grip upon the
lofty height;
And yet the prophets words came true, de-
spite his sneering talk
He runs an elevator now in a seven-story

There's the pecan Of the victor and the yell

That always greets the winner when he

There's all kinds of jublation, from a cheer
up TO a whoop,
But there's none of them do justice to a
great, big scoop.
There's the boy who works the story, and
his heart is full Of glee,
But he doesn't show he's tickled. he's as
calm rs calm can he.
And you'd think 20 see him writing that
his health was on the droop.
But you bet he's fairly humming with his
great, big scoop.
Then the boss, who reads the copy. marks

And he'd like to let a yell out so that all
the world might know
How he's got the opposition most complete
ly "in the soup"
When they wake up from their dream and
read the great big scoop.
Yes, there's lots of ways to show a sense
of overpowering JOY,
From firing off cannon to cavorting like
a boy;
But it's time that some inventor to the
mammoth task would stoop,
And get up some celebration for a great,
big scoop.
