Clubs Not Tolerated at Klebers' Music
Store, sos Wood Street.

The pianos and organs sold by H. Kleber
& Bro. are too good and artistic to be
operated by means of clubs. They are made
to be played upon by the fingers and hands
of ladies and children and by artists. Peo-
pie VINO insist on using clubs need not apply
at Klebers', for the grand pianos of Stein
way, Conover, Gabler, Opera, etc., are too far
above the vulgar level of club playing If you
desire music to cheer the heart, elevate the
spirit. refine the feelings and delight the
listener buy one of Kiebers' irst-class in
struments and possess a joy forever. The
Klebers sell, also, on time payments, S25
down and $40 monitor So so week.
The old trusted house of n. Kleber & Bro,
5O6 Wood street, has the preference over all
others, and hence sells three-fourths of all
the instruments disposed of in this section of
country.

YaHkton. 5. d. Oct, 30-As the
result OF experiments in sugar beet
cultivation by number of promi
nent farmers in this locality, steps
are about to be taken to induce the
location of beet and sugar refinery
here. The chamber of commerce
will attend to the matter, and will
probably appoint a committee to
confer with Mr. Oxnard. the proprie-
tor Of the Grand Island refinery,
with view to inducing him to To-
cate branch at this point. Tests
Of beets grown III this section con-

Minnehaha county has just finished

Office while the clerk was eudcayor-

The combination had been lost and
finally the clerk gave up the job
Young Saunders who was standing
by said he could open it. County
Commissioner Mckee offered to give
him so if he could open the safe.
The young lad placed his ear to
the door Of the vault and listened
to the fall of the tumblcys, and III q
few moments the door swung open
Saunders was turned out of the room
and the combination changed. An
other trial was given the young
genius and again the door flew open

Thr Tariff Law Mostly To Blame.

St. Louis. Nov. 5.-The Globe
Democrat says editorialiy: 1T lis not
difficult to point out the immediate
cause for the republican reverse.
To the Federal elections bill and the
tariff must the result be chiefly at
tributed. An unfortunate mistake
was made by the republicans in per
sisting III their endeavor to pass the
former measure in the face of the
opposition Of the leading republicans
Of the South, for whose imagined
benefit the bill was being pushed.
and against the protest OF the mass
es of the party in the West The
blunder is patent enough to the
most pronounced and persistent
champions of the measure, and there
is not much likelihood Of its enact
ment in the coming session.
1t was through the tariff law
however, that most OF the damage
was inflicted on the republicans.
The law, of course, is far from being
~ bad as the democrats have preten-
ded to believe it to be. 4 few OF
its provisions, though, have afforded
some ground for part Of the opposi-
ton which the law has called out.
While no portion OF the act offers
any justification for the falsehoods
which the democratic editors and
stump orators have uttered, yet
there are schedules in it which serve
to make part Of these falsehoods
credible. There was no excuse
for any increase in any duties
on any article. Every advance OF
this sort which WAS made weakened
the party, hampered the labors Of its
advocates and champions, and placed
the organization on the defensive
from the beginning Of the campaign
