The Summer Resorts on the Monou Route are more than usually popula. this year. West Baden and French Lick Spri gs, in Or. ange county, are overflowing with visirors, ant the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county seat, has opened a new sauitariu u , which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially in tteir constituents, and are successfully prescribed for a great variety of maladies. The wools in the neighborhood abound in game and all the streams teem fish, some of them having been stocked by the government fish commission. All indications pou t to West Baden (and the neighboring springs) as the great sanitarium and popular summer resort of the west. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot, wnere the Monon has a fine wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is ffrst rate. The long experience of Judge Healy in the Boot and Shoe trade should give him a prestige enjoyed bv no other. His stock has been selected with care and backed by good judgment, and his prices can not fail to please.
