Chicago's most prominent music house,
Lyon & Healy, have q number of slightly used
and second hand pianos, taken in trade, used
in concerts, and in fact not brand-new instru-
ments, which they have determined to sncri-
flee rather than to try to make room for.
These Instruments comprise Square pianos at
$40, SOS. $50, 500 and s125. Upright pianos
at S123, $40, $50, S165, $3.50, $500, 1925,
$40 and upward. Grand pianos at 5000,
$3.50. $500 md upward. Nearly all originally
sold for from two to four times their present
price. Almost all prominent mSkes Gin square
and uprights) are represented, including.
among numerous others Chickering, Knabe,
Steinway, Weber, Decker, Steck, Fischer, etc
This is an opportunity that will not occur
again. as Lyon & Healy never had SO many
pianos of this class before. A good plan
would be TO order a piano, leaving the selec-
ton to Lyon & Healy. However, they will
send q list and full particulars upon applica-
ton. Any piano not proving satisfactory may
be returned at their expense Address at their
new salesrooms, corner Wabash Avenue and
Adams Street, Chicago. Distance is no OBJ
stacle in taking advantage of this remarkable
chance to obtain a piano, for In proportion to
the saving to be made, the freight charges are
insignificant. If you do not already know
them by reputation, any banker will assure
you of Lyon & Hcaly's entire responsibility
aud record of over a third of u century for
honorable dealing. Write to-day, SO us to
avoid disappointment.

Ruth, ''under the direction ofProf.
Clary, was presented in a pleasing
way last night TO a good audience,
and we regret there is not time and
space for a clever notice-such as
the rendition deserves. The players
had a nice conception of the beauti-
full Bible story, and told it in song
to please all listeners. The scenic
effects were good, too. About forty
appropriately costumed persons-all
amateurs-were on the stage, very
fair forms and faces predominating.
We cannot undertake to mention all,
but the following persons personated
the prominent characters; Mrs. Ida
Dawson, Ruth ; Miss Annie Aisquith,
Naomi; Mrs. VIM. Campbell, Orpha;
Mrs. Tayloe Perry, Jewish Maiden /;
Miss Bette SubIette, Israelitish Wo-
man; T. NJ. Baker, Boaz; j.. X.
Dinkle, First Reaper j. B. Richard
SON., Assistant Reaper; t. p. Lippitt,
Messenger. Miss Bertha Ruhl was
pianist and Madam Ruhl stage direc-
tor. To use a phrase of a musical
critic on another occasion, last night
there was ian embarrassment of
riches Fire. Press.

Mr.. Hilton is the Populist representa-
tive from Osborne county. Now that his
party is out of power, a great impulse of
reform surges through his system.
Too many member of the legislature.

the suffering taxpayer, will put nice
revolving chair in their pockets and
stick roll top oak desk in their valises
when they depart for home
Mr.. Hilton has drafted and introduced
a resolution to remedy the evil It pro-
vides that the sergeant alarms of the
house and senate make de-
tailed inventory of every chair,
desk, typewriter and other articles
of furniture used in the two houses and
present it to the secretary of state. He
shall examine the property at least twice
year and compare it with the lists sub
mitted. He is also to procure brand
ing iron aud brand each article with the
words Estate Property" SO there will be
no chance for any of it to get away il
there is q proper herd law.
Mr.. Veale created some amusement by
saying:
Il should like to ask the gentleman
| where he would brand typewriter?"

Payne's. when the sundowers

Mr.. Payne's, when the sunfowers
Bloom"
The first of Mr.. Payne's bills provides
that the state shall pay the actual cost of
caring for destitute insane who have
been refused admission to the state asy-
lums for lack of room, not to exceed So
per week. The state shall pay, however,
only the actual cost of such care.
In some counties the present law has
been made a money making function.
They have let the care of its unfortu-
mates to the lowest bidder, in some cases
as low as $3.50 per week, and the county
has collected the $500 from the state and
kept the balance. L his is to be prevent
ed by Mr.. Payne's bill, which further
provides that any county clerk, or any
member of the board of county commits
sioners, who shall violate the provisions
of this section shall be guilty OF mis-
demeanor and shall be punished by a fine
of not less than $25 nor more than $500.
or imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than ten days nor more than ninety
days, or by both such fine and imprison
ment.
Mr.. Payne's second bill relates to poor
asylums, and provides in substance that
it shall be lawful for any board of coun-
ty commissioners to purchase a tract of
land, establish an asylum for the poor.
and to employ some humane and respon-
sible persons to take charge of it. Provi-
ded, That such employment shall not be
made by letting the same to the lowest
bidder, but the board shall pay, as other
county salaries are paid, fair and re a.
sonable compensation to such superin-
tendent This act also provides that any
county officer voting to violate the letter
or spirit of this act shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, punishable as provided in
the previous act.

THE sroCKYARDs BILL.
It Is Now Past the Senate Committee of
the Whole.

The senate spent most of yesterday
afternoon in consideration of Senator
Shearer's bill regulating stockydrds
charges. It finally passed the committee
of the whole with four amendments. At
one time, however, there were three sub
stitutes to the fourth amendment to the
motion to amend the bill by striking out
the enacting clause. 1t required good
engineering skill to bring the bill through
this fog of Legislative red-tape.
A similar bill passed the senate two
years ago, but got lost in the house. The
bill is the most important to shippers
and cattle men of Kansas and the stock
yards operators of Kansas City that has
come up at this session. There has
long been a loud plant of the extor-
ton of the Kansas City stock yards, and
this bill seeks to regulate the charges
The scale as finally passed is as fol-
lows:
"Every such person, company or cor
poration shall be required to give a good
and sufficient bond in the sum of $4,000
conditioned for the faithful performance
of his Or their duties as a public live
stock merchant.
t'No public live stock merchant en-
gagged in the buying and selling of live
stock on commission in any of the pub
lie stock yards of the state shall
charge more for buying or sell
ing live stock than the following
rates: Three dollars per car load for
single deck car loads of sheep or hogs,
or more than So per car load for double
deck car loads of the same; nor more
than twenty-five cents per head, or Sc
per car for cattle; nor more than So per
single-deck car, nor more than So per
| double deck car of veal calves; nor more
that twenty-five cents per head for cat
tie, and fifteen cents per head for calves,
and seven cents per head for hogs or
| sheep, in less than car load lots, or in
mixed car load lots; but when in car load
lots, not to exceed Sc per car load Any
person, or public live stock commission
merchant. violating the provisions of this
act shall have his license revoked, and no
such person shall receive a license for
ten years after such revocation.
It shall be unlawful for any public
stock yards operators to charge within
their yards more than twenty cents per
bushel for corn, or more than at the rate
of twenty cents per hundred above
market price for hay, and not more
than fifteen cents per head yardage for
cattle, and six cents per head yardage for
| hogs,nor more than six cents yardage for
sheep, until sold. The penalty is a fine
of not less than $50 nor more than $500
for the first offense, and for a second OF
any subsequent offense fine of not less
than $500 nor more than $4,000.
