What the Famous Christian
Standard" Says About Pianos.

The piano has, thanks to the march of
improvements in manufacture, become
almost a necessity IN the American
home. In every home blessed with
children, the instrument has q present
place, or a place in the plans of the
future, and it is a great blessing that
such plans can be made by those even
OF moderate means. But while the price
of good instruments has been greatlyre e.
duced, owing TO competition among
manufacturers, it has become increas-
ingiy difficult to the inexpert TO make a
selection. For these there is but one
reliance, and that is the character of the
firm with which they deal. 1t is a pleas
ure to us to- name the firm of ID. Fl.
BALDWIN g. CO., of this city, as per-
fectIy reliable, both by reason of their
long experience and intimate knowledge
of the wants of the trade, and of the abb
sOlute integrity of their dealings. Their
word is IS good as their bond. and they
handle only instruments of the best
make. There are many among our
readers who are interested in the SUBJ
ject. They will do well to correspond
with this firm.

o Warren township farmer. on April %, an
Hamilton got q clew to the whereabouts Of
these men and left Monday night
for Marmsduke. Greene county,
Arkansas. He arrived there on
Wednesday morning early and.
selecting . few reliable men, surrounded
the house in which the three c~ulprits were
sleeping and captured them In bed. They
showed no resistance. and at once went
with Hamilton to a neighboring farm
house, where an open wagon was procured,
and they were driven to the nearest Jail,
fifteen miles distant, and locked up until
Wednesday night.
These men stand charged with robbing
farmer hewhouse of 1886 which he had
concealed in his granary, and which was
discovered by Jenkins. who was
in Newhouse's employ at the time.
They ut once fled to the wilds of Arkansas,
and established what is known out in that
country as a blind tiger" or a temperance
saloon. with o grocery-front appendage.
They had gone to the neighboring town of
Paragold, and invested about S135 in cheap

Deputy Hamilton closed out their share Of
the goods TO their partner for s65.
The three men are now in Jail, in default
of $1,000 bonds assessed against each. They
are young fellows. ranging In age from
eighteen TO twenty years. and do not look
like criminals. but rather i'll innocent
country lads.
