Cultivating the voice without a tuneful
accompaniment is impossible. Happily
both singers and hearers are delighted with
our checkmate pianos, used in vocal prac.
tice. These instruments have the qualities
which make them admirably adapted to
accompany the refined and accomplished
vocalist. Nothing could blend more
perfectly than the voice and instrument
when one OF our pianos is used. The
better piano is for accom- paniments,
the better it is for instrumental compost.
tions. Our pianos are une1celled for all
purposes, and their excellence is all the
more remarkable in view of the price at
which we are able to offer them. Our
pianos are generally called wash-boards.

Spelling Reform Begun.


There will be no general dis
sent from the proposition that in
some respect the system of En-
glish photography is absurd. In
some instances the aim seems to
be to make it as difficult as pos
sible to spell words. 1t is graf
flying, therefore, that an
photographic union has been
started with the purpose of re-
forming the evil. AS was
expected, this movement has
been started in Boston. 1t is to
be hoped thatit will not be ham,
pered in its work by the intro
duction Of cranky notions.
At the outset it should be
understood that a very con-
siderable number of persons
should agree on the
new system before it is
promulgated. That is to say,
the leading colleges, the leading
newspapers and the foremost
writer's. not of one section. but
throughout the country, should
approve OF whatever System is
agreed on before it is introd ced
in any particular locality. 1t

al labor or entail great deal of
delay to accomplish this impor-
tant result.
# the photographic union will
proceed on these lines and evolve
a system of spelling which will
dispense with silent letters,
dipthongs and other useless and
perplexing characters, it will
have accomplished great good.
But reforms in spots and by
individuals more or less infu-
enced by seltishness or conceit
will avail nothing; even in
direction SO desirable as that
contemplated by the Boston
organization: Previous efforts
have failed on this account.
That fact should be kept in
mind in the present effort.-Ex.

Hold Your Home Trade.

Probably no one matter gives
the merchants of western towns
and cities so much uneasiness
as the constant leakage Of good
cash trade which goes to tie big
department stores of eastern
cities. The mail order depart
ments Of these emporiums have
their customers in every village
and almost every township Of
the prairie states. Their mann :
moth catalogues, and other ad-
vertiscments in the widely
circulated family papers, are
stcdied religiously, and
hundreds OF thousands Of
of dollars, which would go far
toward helping the local mer-
chant in building up his busi-
ness, are sent by post and
ex press to purchase articles Of
everyday household necessity.
In addition groceries are shipped
in hundred pound lots by the
car load to the settlers who can
save a small percentage OIL the
whole by getting the supplies in
Chicago or St. Louis and paying
cash in advance.
This drain ON local trade in
some communities is estimated
at 20 per cent OF the home bust
ness, and it is all secured through
the lavish use OF printers ink by
the city firms. The local mer-
chants complain volubly, and re-
gret the loss of business, but few
make an energetic effort to offset
it or to fight their far away com
pstitors with direct or pertinent
ammunition.
The most effective effort in
this line was the advertisement
of a dealer In novelty goods in a
small Kansas town. The week
after the Youths Companion
premium list was issued, and be-
fore the hundreds Of subscribers
in the country had time to send
on their money fof tempting bar
gains offered, postage paid, he
spread this announcement In the
county papers.

THE SUGAR TAX.

Between the 30th OF April
and the date the new tariff law
went into operation, 1885,, ,621
worth of sugar was imported
into the United States, upon
which $12,000,000 was paid into
the Treasury in the shape of
duties. 1t will be remembered
that while the tariff bill was
pending in Congress the sugar
trust laid in vast quantities OF
raw sugar, 10 that the record +
the time referred to is chiefly
valuable as affordihg a basis for
estimate for the future, Upon
this basis treasury experts allege
that $40,000,000 may be relied
on annually as the proceeds OF
tne sugar TAX.
Under the old law this sum
was lost to the people absolutely,
for it is a fact that the price OF
sugar was not increased even to
the extent Of a fraction by The i'm
position of the tax. But that is
not the only gain. The McKin-
ley law provided fo- bounty
of two cents pound on all cane,
beet or maple sugar produced in
this country above a fixed STAN
dard under which provision
$12,000,000 was paid out last
year, and if it had remained in
operation Until now at least
double that amount would have
been paid for this years crop
without compensation for The
expense.
Even ii it were true that the
new tariff law to some extent
curtailed the foreign markets by
abrogating the so called recipl oc-
:ty tire aties, the loss would be
more than counter-balanced in
this gain by the sugar tax. But
as ii matter Of fact, the export
trade of this year is greater in
most products than during the
period Of the Mckinley law, and
the few aticles in which there
has been a falling off are ac-
counted for in an increased
home consumption, which raised
the prices above the exporting
point. In view of these facts
there is not likely to be a de-
mand for the restoration of the
Mckinley law.-Kansas City
Times.

P[ON EER GONE.

Boise, Idaho, July, 7.-Ex Gov
ernor E. A. Stevenson, of Idaho,
died at Paraiso at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. He went
there six weeks ago suffering
from sciatica and an attack of
grip while he was in Washing

times that he was better, and at
other times that he was suffer

intimation OF any danger came
in dispatch from DR.. Perrault
in San Francisco yesterday that
he was dying. The body will
be embalmed and brought to

1925. The family removed to

He lost his father by accident,

arrived in San Francisco De-

he held a number of positions
and was twice elected to the
legislature, serving as speaker

agent in California and exten.
sively connected with that
branch of the government in all
parts of the state.
He came to Idaho in 1863
and settled in Placerville. He

compounded with white lead and one
or two other substances produce a

and soft as common paint would be,

be used for the core or body Of the
