APPEAL TO COUNTY COURT.
Isham Brothers Not Satisfied with Land
Damages Awarded.

An appeal to county court will he taken
by y. s. lsham and w. c. Isham in tho
matter OF the extension of lsham street
through to Pearl street. The appeal will
be taken on two points. first, the ne
cessitH for the extension of the street
and, second the amount of the damages
awarded by the street commissioners for
the land the city proposes to take FOR
tho extension. This amount is S.0co and
the present owners of the land. it Is I'M
derstood, do not consider this an ade-
quate amount. The street commissioners
had hearing IN the city clerks Office
yesterday afternoon, when the amount of
the damages was named. Edmund &.
Mower appeared for y. S. Isham and at
the conclusion of the hearing stated that
an appeal would be taken. This appeal
will stay the work of extending Isham
street for the present a., least and proba-
bly, for some months
The strip of land which the street COM
missioners propose to take is 1919
feet wide and about 81 feet long,
extending directly through the lsham
property, west of the residence on Pearl
street. When the street Is extended, a
strip of land about IS feet wide and APP
proXimately 81 feet deep from Pearl
street to Hickok place will be left on
the west side of the extension Mr. lsham
holds that when the damage to his resi-
dcnce and the loss of the two lots near
Hickok place, the latter being wiped out
by the extension, is considered the
amount of damages awarded by tha
street commissioners is not adequate. ".
G. Isham's interest in the extension is
confined to a narrow strip of land lying
between the north line of the property
owned by \. S. Isham and llckok place.
The extension will go through the east
end of this strip and the street commits
sioners said they had not awarded any
damages for this as they considered the
strip would he benefited by the extern
sion.

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

II has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance OF
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appetite.
or to get tired easily, the least impru-
dence brings on sickness. weakness. or
debility The system needs tonic.
Graves it. and should not be denied it:
and the best tonic of which we have any
knowledge IS Hoods Sarsaparllla What
this medicine has done In keeping healthy
people, healthy, in keeping up the
even balance of health, gives 1t the same
distinction as a preventive that 1t ENJOY
as a cure. It's early use has illustrated
the wisdom of the old saying that a
stitch I'm time saves nine. Take Hood j
for appetite, strength, and endurance.
