The Great Rush at KIeber & Bros Already
Begun.

Persons can have no idea of the popularity
of the Kleber Bros. and the immense bust
ness they are doing in the sale OF pianos, or
gans, mandolins, guitars, etc., unless they
drop in at their warerooms, 506 Wood street.
And Titles the wonder, Tor the Messrs.
Kleber have the monopoly of the grandest
pianos made in America. Just look and
listen to the glorious Steinway and Conover
pianos, and the popular Gabler and Opera
pianos, and you will admit that nothing
else will compare with them. Besides the
Messrs. Kleber will sell at honest, reasonable
prices. They take the smallest profits oil
any dealer and they give the longest war
ranty and sell on the easiest monthly pay
ments. Klebers' store is the most popular
place TO buy at, and people have implicit
faith in their honest dealings and their
superior judgment.
P. S.-Store open every night until after
o'clock.

householder. For residences the alarm bell
is carried to any room desired, for offices the
same. No ringing of door bells and waiting

The cost of oil is somewhat greater than it
was expected to be. but Manager Harper says
the firm will bear the extra expense in prefer
cnce to going back to coal. Work can be done
quicker with the oil than it can with either
coal or gas, and unless oil is cornered, there
are strong indications that it will take the

Five Reasons For Getting Married.
Goethe said he married to obtain re-
spectability. Wycherly, in his old age
married his servant girl to spite his re-
lations. There is story of man who
got married because he inherited a four
post bedstead. A man got married
because he had bought a piece of silk
cheap at sale, and wanted wife to
give it to. The Russians have story of
a widow who was so inconsolable for
the loss of her husband that she took
another to keep her from fretting herself
to death.
