No one can escape the La Grippe be-

The reason that every one does not

those who for any reason are not in the

New Bowling Alley Opens.

On Saturday afternoon the new bow
ling alley which has been fitted up by
Messrs. Trzcinski and Dixson in the
Coleman building, which they have
been occupying, was opened to the
public. 1t is now an ideal place for
the lovers of this sport. The two old
alleys were taken up and moved sew
eral feet to the rear, and two new ones
added, so that now they have four
fine alleys in the centre of the room,
with an aisle on the side, and some
twenty feet of space in the front of
the room for spectators. The place
will be very popular one, no doubt,
during the coming fall and winter
season.

FOR A PUBLIC PARK.
A. L. Abbey Offers to Donate the Use
for a Term of Years of a
Beautiful Spot in West
DEBORAH.

In response to an invitation from
Mr.. A. l.. Abbey, of West DEBORAH,
a number of business men Monday
afternoon made a trip to a beautiful
spot on the river bank in West Deco
rah, which would make an ideal pub
lie park. 1t is situated just in the
bend of the river across from the Z.
l.. Beard place (the old brewery and
consists of few acres of land, which
Mr.. Abbey generously offers to lease
for an indefinite term to the city or
any company of persons or corporation
which will improve it for public
park or picnic ground. Part of the
land near the river bank is covered
with numerous large elm trees, afford
ing ample shelter, the land is level
and somewhat sandy, and the view is
beautiful one from all sides. For
nearly half mile on either side the
river is wide and deep for rowing and
fishing, and it is in fact as good a
place for this purpose as we know
of. The purpose is to have it fitted up
convenient for picnic parties, etc. A
we'll could be driven, the ground
leveled, building for tables erected,
ball ground, tennis court and GRO
quet ground made, and much done at
little expense to place the plat of
ground in splendid condition. Mr..
Abbey agrees to lease it to the city,
the city churches, or any organization
that will fit it up and keep it in pro-
per shape, free of all charge. His
generosity should be accepted, and
some arrangements made for the i'm
provement of this beautiful spot and
the opening of it to the public.
DEBORAH has long been in need of a
suitable public park and picnic
ground.

katie Emmett's new melodrama,
From East to West" was presented
at the Academy yesterday and was
favorably received. 1t has an inter
esting plot, which begins in New
York and ends in western mining
camp. There is great deal of the
sensational element. including a
dynamite explosion and an earthquake,
and the interest never flags for a
moment. The company is competent
and the piece is well staged and
mounted At the Grand, Sept. I'd.
