pporrcr1os AGAINST BURGLARS

PROTECTION AGAINST BURGLARS
Nearly all of our exchanges from neigh
boring cities tohtaih startling aG cunts
of stores being burglarized under cir
cumstances that defy the efforts of the
police to detect the perpetrators, or to
recovered the goods stolen. 1t is matter
of great congratulation that Wheeling
has SO far escaped these visitations; al
though number Of small larcenies and
burglaries have been committed, there
has not occurred a single heavy> store
robbery this season. 1t is suggested that
it would be an exceedingly wise move
for all of the larger Wheeling merchants
to make arrangements to have reliable
man sleep in their stores at night. This
plan has been successfully adopted by
business men IN other cities, and BY fol-
lowing it here, with the knowledge that
every person attempting to force an en-
trance to store would be liable TO re-
ceive dose Of cold lead" these depre-
dations may be entirely prevented.

Christmas is coming, and with it the
holiday season. when all creation takes
an aspect of jollity. Whether times are
hard or easy, people naturally feel it in
cumbent upon themselves to put the
happy side out, forgetting for the time
the condition of their bank accounts in
general effort to be content with the
world and surrounding country. Ii busi-
mes. has iourished and we have gathered
in a few shekels, it is proper that our
wives and numerous progeny should be

The Upright Piano.

The Upright Piano Is, from its small,
compact form and handsome exterior;
especially suited to the boudoir, the reeep-
ton room, and the parlors of many
houses where Grand or Square Piano
could not conveniently be placed.
Messrs. Steinway & Sons have, after
long and earnest study and experiments,
succeeded in producing Upright Piano
fortes which are the most perfect instru-
ments of their class ever constructed.
The volume of tone is fully equal to any
of Steinway's best Grand Square Pianos,
while the quality is of the most exquisite
musical character-pure, sympathetic,
and in the highest degree pllable. The
/ durability of these new Upright Pianos,
and their capacity of standing in tune,
is unparalleled in the history of Piano
making, and even greater than that OF
the best Grand and Square Pianos.
Too much can not be SAID in favor OF
these Upright Pianos; in fact, they must
be seen and heard to be appreciated. An
immense demand has already sprung up
for these instruments, which are rapidly
becoming the American Home Pianos
Of the future.
A full assortment OF Steinway Upright
Pianos kept constantly on hand at the
Sole Agency, Adams x Lucas, l221 Mar
ket street.
