CONNELL PARK IMPROVEMENTS PRISONERS HAVE DONE GREAT WORK THERE. Over ft Mile of Roadways and Walks Have Been Laid Out at Almost No Expense to tho City What the Plans for tho Park Provido For. Tho Final Work Cannot Bo Dono Until thft City Appropriates a Suf ficient Sum of Money Tho Park's Natural Advantages. It Is time that tho gcncial public of this city leallzed the splendid advan tages of Council paik and awoke to a leallatlon of the mm v clous wink which, In Hie way of improvement, Is being accomplished theio this sum mer on an insignificant llttlo nppro piliitlou of a little over a thousand dollms. The woik of Improving Council paik ban been slowly di tigging on ever slncn It was donated to the city and prom ised, when nil color of Public AVoiks Km he look chaigc ot his depai tmeiit, to continue nil Inllnltum unless some bold mid decisive step was taken. Dlieclor Boche tealled the surpassing nnttiial advantages of the paik and decided to push the woik ot Impiovc nient to a speedy completion. He found himself handicapped at tho stmt bv the ineagie, It might al most be called, absuiil, approptlnlloii which was exhausted In a few dus. Deciding that to attempt to secuio any inoi e mondy fiom councils this enr would he a waste ot time he consulted with the pi Noil bo.iul nnd utter sev eial confeiences succeeded In getting the services of h gang of prlsoueis ft oiu the county Jail to do tho woik which councils should have piovlded for. OBHAT AMOUNT OF AVOBK. The gang of men seemed nveiaged about twenty In number and the woik which they have done In tho past two months and a half is nothing shoit ot mm v clous w hen c et tain facts are tnken Into consldetatlon The personnel ot the gang Is const antlv chnnglng bv teason of ptlvoners being lolensed nnd new men unaccustomed to the woik have to be "bioken In" evety few da.vs. Then, overshadowing all else. Is the one gieat fact that lhe lecelve nothing for their labor and can, there fore, not he expected to work with their he.ut In their toll. Kindness nnd good tieatment, however, have won the clay, as the lesults show plainly. The plans for the improvement ot the paik were pieparcel a niiinbci of e.us ago, but have lecently been consid erably alteied and Impiovcd b City Hnglneer Phillips, who Is supeivlslng the woik and who spends soveial homs at tho paik three chos In cveij week.

Theie nie nunieious other walk, all tilbutarj to the main ptoine n.ulc. HAD TO BLAST BOCK The linger p irt of these walks and of tho diiveway have ahcady been laid out and when this Is said. It means that a vast amount of woik has been accomplished, foi the reason that solid lock is met with almost ever wheie. Bhistlug has to bo lehoited to contln imIIj and tho stone excavated In this waj has been used In building ictiiln- ing walls whoie these me neiessai. Hunch eds and liundtcds of cubic feet of Hist-clas-s stone walls, in some in stances ten feet high, have been con stituted out of this stone by the piis oneis. All In all, over a mile of load wa and walks have been laid out and In pi open Hon to Its size. Council ii.uk Is veiy much neater final lmpiovc incut than Nnv Aug paik. The plans piovlde for a laigo com mon at tho eastern cud of the paik and foi a number of huge flower bed3 and a fountain sun minded by a couit nnd approached by a wide walk Just west of this. This walk Is ahcady laid out and Is lined on both sides with beautiful catalpa tiees. It Is pioposed to sod mid tctiace the enthe westcilj end of tho paik lust as soon as It can possibly bo done. That pot tlnti hlnu just within tho main cntiauee Is alteady finished and piesents a most beautilul appeal .nice, coveied as It is with a xelvety uiecn lawn and dotted with handsome flower beds. The latgcr pait of the puk will bo left. It Is understood, in all Its nat in. il beauty. and no attempt will be made to make It too snug anil spick and span. Tho Immense bouldeis, partly hidden fiom view by e lumps of liuiiel bushes, makes as beauti ful an effect as the fluest landscape ganlner could pioduce. MAKING AVAT-KS.

Mort gages Real estate has always been the most steady and certain investment to be had, but it has been shunned by many because they were so hampered in dealing with it. Many mortgagees, when they have at tempted to collect their loans, have found out that their security was worthless because of prior liens or defective title. A Title company in issuing its policy to the mortgagee assumes all risks. If there has been any mistakes, the loss does not fall on the mortgagee.
