A SPECIAL merit in the "Weber"
Piano is the singing quality Of tore
which lends 10 them an inestlmabIe
charm. Their touch is exceedingly
easy and pleasant, and under the fn-
gering OF an accomplished master, like
the manufacturer himself, their various
points of excellence, their brilliancy and
delicacy, and rich volume of tone is
superbly brought out. 1t seems impos-
sible to US for any one to make an in
strument nearer perfection.-N =.
Evening Express.
We are glad to note the favor the
Weber Piano meets in Wheeling, and
feel sure all who buy at Sheb's Musi
Store will get the best piano made, at a
low price.

solemn stiffness that has reigned over
the Police Court room and the lonely
cells OF the calaboose, was broken yes
terday by the armed tread of the

in charge four offenders.
James Barr got into difficulty at
Kleives' saloon, on Chspline street,
Center Wheeling, because the proprie-
tor. remembering his duty under the
new liquor law, refused to give him a
drink. He got obstreperous and wanted
to fight about it. Three dollars and
costs was the penalty.
Mrs. james Barr was determined that
her husband should have a drink
whether or not, law or no law, 30 she
gathered a bung-starter and was about
to start somebody's head with it, when
she was arrested in her mad career.
She also was fined g and costs.
