The piano business, says a New
York dealer, has had the bottom
knocked out OF it by this bicycle craze.
You don't see the connection between
bicycles and pianos? Wall, If YOU were
a dealer in pianos you would quickly
discover it. For instance. | have sold
many pianos to young married couples.
Sometimes they have saved money
enough TO buy the instruments out
right. This has been a good source Of
business TO the piano dealer. Now, what
has happened since the bicycle came in
10 popular favor? Why, the young
couple that otherwise would save up
for a piano save up for two bicycles.

can be purchased at the cost of one pi-
ano, and perhaps they furnish more
amusement and perhaps they don't"

Elder Cross came IN last week and
held services at Central View school
house.
Farmers are more hopeful with re-
gard to the wheat crop. 1t is found
that so much wheat has not been kill
ed out as had been supposed.
Mrs. E. c. Davis is very sick and her
recovery is thought to be doubtful.
The last heard from her was on Sunday
when she was thought to be slightly
better.
Brother c. B. Sherk is still engaged
in the meeting in the M. E. church and
much good is being done in the awak-
ening of sinners and in bringing back
sliding professors again to repentance.
Sunday was cold raw day witt, small
attendance at the various churches.
On Sunday night there was another
fall of snow covering the ground to a
depth of about two inches. This snow
was not accompanied with wind and
the snow remained evenly distributed
over the ground.
Friday was cold snowy day with a
brisk wind from the north. The pre-
cipitation of snow if it had not drifted
would have covered the ground to
depth of about two and one half inches.
Saturday was cold in the morning but
during the day it warmed up and where
the snow was not in drifts it melted off
leaving the ground bare.

The Kansas Breeze says: "a
young fellow who used to live at Medl-
cine Lodge is now editor of the organ
of National Epicurean colleges at Chi

the difference between fricasseed

The young fellow mentioned, and he's
not too young, is the only and origl-
nal Cleo Leabhart, formerly resident
of Anthony. We make the correction
because Medicine Lodge is too far west
to enjoy such distinction.-Anthony
