To-day's Sensation-Scan daIous.
The subject of this sensation ia the new
piano-tuner, Mr.. j. H. Zimmerman, who
has just arrived from the east and is now
connected with Jackson's music house, of
this city. Mr.. Zimmerman was recon-
mended to Mr.. jackson as q frst-class
tuner. and upon investigation by the latter
on his eastern tour was not only found to
be first-class, but an artist in his profession
throughout aud an entire gentleman. He
has perfect knowledge of the piano and
it's belongings, being capable of tuning,
toning, voicing and repairing, regulating,
rebushing or recapping the aqtion-in fact,
everything that pertains to. piano making.
He has made the piano life study and has
no superior in action work, which is of as
much or of more importance than
tuning to the piano. as this is the life
or wear OF the instrument. Any one having
piano cannot afford to let an incompetent
man ruin it; therefore it pays to have the
best, when at the same time they are the
lowest. Mr. Zimmerman has also the repu-
tatlon of being very prompt, and any orders
left at the store. in the Bailey block on
Main street, will receive prompt and care
tlcular with their piano, or having any crit
ical faults with their instrument will do
we'll to employ the above tuner, who has
come here to stay. He has in time past
been concert tuner for some of our leading
artistes. and is sure to please, and if you
will have him once you will never do with
out him. 1t is pleasure to know your pi-
ano is intrusted to safe hands. Give MIN
trial and you shall be satisfied for yourself.
Mr.. jackson guarantees all his work salts
factory; If it doesn't prove SO all mOney
will be cheerfully refunded.

How It Occurred.

To the Editor: The following statement
of the strike of the bricklayers at Ana
conda is substantially correct: The men
who quit work did not belong to the Brick
layers union and the strike did not have
the sanction Of the Anaconda Bricklayers
union. It originated contrary to the rules
governing the union. The men working
upon the smoke stacks, which was COM
posed of most of the officers Of the union,
did not leave their work at all and did not
know that strike was contemplated until
after working hours of the same day.
