 Time Within Week.
 Little Freddie Barton was in the police court this morning for the second time within week, charged with theft. Fred dies propensity for winning" articles is very pronounced.

Since that time the Bartons have moved from North Main street to Tracey avenue, a new street run ming from the old Baldwin hill road te Pearl lakes. Yesterday afternoon Fred was sent to the house of a neighbor, but finding that the person was not at home he ransacked the house and found William Murray's watch on the bureau. He took the watch and traded it for a pair of rab- bits. Besides being a first-class appren- tice at the sneak thief trade Freddie can lie by note. He said he was given the watch by another boy named Holmes, but Holmes denied it tiatly, and the judge thought the best place for Fred was the Reform school and accordingly sent him there.

B. Shoninger & Co.,.

Some of the things we do for the improvement of Trade; keep only First Class Pianos and Or gans known everywhere as Standard Goods We sell them at the lowest possible prices and most favorable terms. Weber, Shoninger, Emerson & Wheelock are our leaders any one of which will in every way give satisfaction and prove source of joy in any family. Among the things we do not do is this: Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighborS goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation in the market. Neither do we have one price to of fer and another to sell by, in the case of the Shoninger Piano offered for S150 by JIM. kellogg, who, when the rendered him refused it promised to look at it in the future. Shoninger Pianos being in such demand, and his supply linn 1ted with poor chances of duplication, we Sug- gest, may have been the reason; although the fact remains that one minute it was for sale and the next it was not.The public left to judge of manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- gitimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur nish our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from lnstallment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect on the same. Thirty years standing before the people as Company is sufficient guarantee of our stability, Those Shoninger New Style Upright Pianos are elegant in design and finish. We make them and get the price way down. Warrant them frst-class. All the rest of the dealers are blowing about them, which proves that they are No i, otherwise no abuse would be necessary.
