FISHERS FAREWELL.
greatest Sale In the History of tine
Worid-296 Piano Saies-Amount
Over $1,000

Inc great sale is over, and thing
or the past, and myself and family
left ST. Paul for Chicago at s O'CLOCK
last night.
The exact number of pianos sold in
ST. Paul during the great sale just
closed was 296 new pianos, in Sc days,
besides some half dozen or more sec
ond-hand instruments which we took
In and sold for friends who had pur-
chased new Kimballs.
The total receipts of the sale amount
ed, IN exact figures, to SCI, 341 80, nearly
eighteen thousand of which was cash.
This is, without doubt, the greatest
piano sale ever made at one sitting
In the history Of the world and when
1t IS understood that no man or woman
who purchased of me at that sale paid
one dollar more or one dollar less for
the same thing than his neighbor it
Is the more remarkable, and goes to
prove long cherished theory of mine,
that the piano business can be con-
Quoted on one equal fair basis, with
justice to all. No patron at that sale
snail ever, through any fault of mine
or a lack of the proper performance
of his Kimball piano, have cause to
regret it.
Every piano shall prove exactly as
represented by me, and a perfect in
strument of its class, or no SALE Should
one out Of the three hundred prove de-
fectIve or imperfect, the buyer is en-
Titled to new one as quick as that
can be ascertained, and without par
ley.
In conclusion, I wish to add, that my
private secretary and bookkeeper, Mr..
Eilers, remains behind, and in st. Paul
for day or two to attend to some col
lections, and will offer on the ware
room floor 140 and 142 East Sixth
street,, at 10 o'clock this morning. a
beautiful secondhand Emerson Up
right Piano, formerly owned by Mrs.
j. II. Southall. the well-known con-
tralto of ST. Anthony Park, who pur-
chased of us yesterday a beautiful
worlds fair style 'Kimbau," and for
whom we have promised to sell her
Emerson upright, and apply proceeds
OF 50 me.
This Piano is perfect, and a beautiful
tered instrument, we'll worth at retail
$2G0 It will go today for S110-$1O down
and IS month.
See it at the warerooms this fore
neon.
Again, thanking my ST. Paul friends.
whose confidence and patronage I have
shared in that undertaking so success
fully ended; and again, assuring them
of our protection and watchful interest
in the faithful performance Of every
Kimball Piano sold by me in the city of
ST Paul, whether at this or any previ-
GUS sale, | retire from the field for
the present, empty-banded of Pianos
loaded down with money-as fresh as
a daisy, and ready to cross swords
with any Piano man on the continent.

gent John e. Pound, Feb. II and Is,
has reached fever heat. Each city
started out originally with the inten-
ton OF making UP respective classes
or 100 each in time for the visitation.
In the effort to see which town would
secure the 100 first the contest deyel-
oped into the closest kind of rivalry,
Notwithstanding that it is said to be
good natured. So far as can be judged
from the present outlook, ST. Paul
stands a good chance of winning out,
and thus finding added favor in the
eyes Of the chief The hustling Ar
canumites in this city have already
enrolled class numbering ITS candi-
oates, 1t is said, and nets are still be-
Ing lald for the unwary. Although the
members of the order in Minneapolis
nave made a very creditable show
ing, it is not thought that as many
candidates have been enrolled. Those
ready for initiation in Minneapolis at
present number 100 or thereabouts.
Whether the Minneapolitans will be
able to lessen the distance in number
OF candidates existing between them
ana the St. Paul people remains to
be seen. The Minneapolis members of
the order are still in high hopes Of
peatlng ST. Paul out in the end, and
lhey assert that every effort will be
MADE to at least even up the number of
candidates in both cities.
Ihe It's or more candidates which
Will constitute the class at that time
will be the largest class ever vet mi
tiated in the history of the order. The
largest previous class initiated was in
Minneapolis in 1894, when Up members
were added to the order at a single
sitting
This is in some respects remarkable
showing for the order in this part of
the country, considering that it was
founded so far east as Boston, which
is supposed to be the hot-bed of the

Mr.. Kenyon VIII Ask the Attorney
General for Advice in the Mat
ter Today.

The attention OF Public Examiner
Kenyon was called yesterday to the an
nual report of the Home Savings and
Loan association of Minneap polls. which.
although it has been in printed form
for several days, has not been filed
with the examiner as yet The report
shows heavy losses for the company
during the last year. and MI Kenyon
will present the matter to ATTORNEY
General Childs with a view to imme-
date action in the premises, if in the
opinion of the attorney general legal
proceedings are advisable
1t is evident from the report that
the state of affairs in which the asso-
citation finds itself is not promising.
1t, in fact, admits to its thousands of
stockholders in the Western states
that ii has lost in a very short time
the enormous sum of S311 2S7 so. and
will be obliged to call upon its stock
holders in a very short space OF time
for an assessment of II per cent of its
stock.
The board of directors held a special
meeting Dee. 81 last, and, after a thor
ough investigation OF the affairs, even
at the valuation placed upon its assets
by itself, was obliged TO face the fol-
lowing report, which is not very en-
couraging to the thousands of people
in the West who have been paying
assessments and putting their money
into the concern:

Capt. Reade's Efforts to limit the
Use of the Flag

All over the country the society of
the Sons Of the Revolution and kindred
orga nizations are stirring up a public

Fort Smelling. Capt. Reade has pre-
scented to the Society of Colonial Wars,
of which he is governor, to the G. A. R.
and the regular army and navy union,
of which he is a member, a resolution
urging the passage by congress of the
law now before that body to prevent
the use of the flag as an adyertis-
ing medium for gain.
Senator marlborough, Of North Da-
kota, introduced in the senate two
years ago such measure. Some mod
ifications have just been made in the
bill, which is now up for considera ton
again. The bill, as changed, will make
it unlawful for any person or persons.

Where he was stationed for a long time,
the flag was used as a means of adj

ers, bar rooms, breweries. beer saloons,
bottling companies, banner decora tors,
burlesque shows, blotung pads, circus

are used for lapel buttons, personal
adornment and trade marks for domes-
tic fabrics.
Capt. Reade Is radically opposed to
the use of the flag for any other than
patriotic purposes. He would not even
permit 1T to be used by political parties
or candidates for Office.

his neighbor Joe Evans, also a skilled
and resolute hunter, and at last they de-
termined to make the attempt.
Accordingly, they started On bright
morning; each carrying a small Ratchet,
hunting knife, rifle, compass, coil of
rope and small rubber bag contain
ing provisions and ammunition.
The first half mile was easily passed.
Beyond that lay unknown dangers and
difficulties. Progress was slow; every
step had to be cautious. They proceed

and connected by a rope knotted around
thear bodies, SO that if the leader should
step into bog, quicksand, or alliga-
tors hole, the other would pull him out.
Often for hundreds of yards, wading
in water and slime knee deep, they had
to cut n passage with their hatchets
through the dense underground. Often
they came to DOGGY places, which could
only be avoided by long detouI's to the
right OF left. Occasionally there was
a narrow lane of deep wafer where it
was necessary to swim.

Meanwhile news of Burr's doings had
reached the east and President Jeffer-
son became alarmed. He knew Aaron
Burr thoroughly, and was well aware Of
his ambition and his powers of il trigue.
The governors of Ohio and Virginia
were called upon to suppress the expe"
dition. The militia was called ont, ard
the boats and stores were seized, A de-
tachment of militia from Wood county,
Va, landed upon the island, became
drunk from the liquors in the cellar,
and pilagd and burned the house and
out-buildings. Burr and Blennerhas-
sett were both arrested for treason, and
were tried and acquitted.
In the next two years Blennerhassett
lost his island home and he found him
self with family upon his hands, but
with his riches all gone, and in their
place mountain of debts. However,
he learned enough to write book, in
which he involved not only Burr in trea.
sonable acts, but also Gov. Aston, OF
South Carolina, Burr's son-in-law. Al
ston paid $4,000 rather than have the
book published. Blennerhassett then
undertook a cotton plantation near
Natchez, but the war of 1912 ruined
commerce, and he removed to Canada.
Here he became bankrupt and was
forced to subsist until his death upon
the bounty of sister. Mrs. Benner.

returned to America to prosecute her
claim for the destruction of her home
on the Ohio island by the militia, sub
sisting meanwhile upon the income of
a few shares of bank stock and the
charity of her friends. She died, how,
ever, in 1912, just as she had her Pc
tition properly before congress.
Blennerhassett is now used as pic.

kept planted in the ordinary crops.
