Linden Hills, at Lake Harriet, is an
example of how go odproperty that
went begging in the early days, has
but recently found itself. In 1884
the owners Of this property offered to
give to citizens who would agree to
build homes of a certain grade, their
choice of lots. It was hard work to
give away a dozen such lots, and two
or three of these were afterward given
up. The little building that fol-
lowed did not Immediately move this
property. But the start came in 1900.
Then the best lots were pushed to a
sale at from $500 to 5000 To-day
these range from $1,000 to 81 800.

The movement from 1885 to 1893
was rather" q slowing down Of activity
than sharp decline in prices. Values
held up at sufficient height, however,
to make the drop Of 1895 %prectpitous
and calamitous. The disaster Of 1893
and the years Immediately following,
brought much valuable property to a
point where it was forced from old
hands at a third Of it's actual value
Such a violent reversal Of real estate
conditionse brought about a period Of
depression lasting well up to, 1900,
during which time properties in Min
neapolis were selling at lower prices
than those Of any other city in the
United States Of corresponding size
and conditions. Good business men with
means to invest took advantage of
these conditions to make what have
proven to be some of the easiest for

This expansion was very largely ac-

that at that date and during the subse-

the movement of property were slow

in part to cooperate with the public

by any striking feature in
the, real estate business of
Minneapolis. There had been
but one serious squall to dis
furb the continuous fair weather since

measured by experiences Of later years
1t could hardly be called rough wealth

war such a. continuous, strong and in

owners and brokers felt that nothing
could stop the growth of the city and

DR.. Charles d. McIver, pIesid ent

rural pessimlsm at a dinner given Dy
Robert c. Ogden in honor of the Gen.

sThere was once North Carolina

Idea that gayety was synonymous
with evil, an idea that he inculcated
into his family life. 1t came to pass
that the man committed murde: and
was sentenced to be hanged. Now,
IN that part of the world the only
chances for amusement were in going
to hangings or travelling eircuses.
When the day OH which he was to be
executed approached, tee condemned
man wrote note to his wife, saying:
Don't let tne children come to the
hanging. | know you'll be there, but
do please keep tie little ones way
TO this the wife replied

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont)
In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, ne encour
tered much bad water, which, to-
gether with the severe heat, gave him
a very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost Impossible to check,
and along IN June the case became so
bad he was expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
small bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
as a last hoe. A big dose was given
him while he lay rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and in
few minutes the dose was repeated
The good effect OF the medicine was
soon noticed, and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sounu
sleep for fortnight That one lit
tie bottle worked complete cure,

NOT THE PROPER PLACE.
So Morganfown will not be Given the
new Morning Paper which Rumor
had Located Here.

Major Charles Elliott of Parkerburg
is 10 town. He came last night aud
was seen by this paper today. Major
Elliott always knows about everything
that is doing in Newspaper or political
circles and he was asked what he knew
about the new daily proposition which
is being agitated and IN which Nor
gantown has figured.
He said that Captain S. B. Baker
who is reported 20 be back OF the
scheme does not think that Morgan
town is the proper field for another
daily. He does regard Fairmont as a
good point and 1t is likely that if a
paper is started in this section Fair
mont will be selected as the location
for it.
OSome' negotiations have been started
in that place with the view of estab-
fishing paper there. The West Vlr-
ginian may have a hand in it ard
Captain Baker together With Major
Elliott will be interested in it.
