SENSIBLE ADVICE TO PIANO
BUYERS.

Commission Agents, Consignment
Dealers and Piano ''peddlers," who are
utter strangers, should be compelled
to show their original factory bills of
lading of the Pianos and Organs they
offer for sale. If contemplating pur.
chasers of Pianos and Organs, will in,
sist ON this they will be saved lot OF
money. Manufacturers who consigI
pianos, ship them first to one town
and to one agent, and then to anoth
er. We have known pianos to be ship
ped to four different towns, before
they reached here, and some Of them
were sold at each point and then repos-
sessed and put on the market here.
A careful investigation and the de-
mand Of the Original Factory Bill of
Lading, by contemplating purchasers,
will prove our assertions.
All our Pianos and Organs come di-
rect to us from the Manufacturers,
there is no commission paid and the
purchaser is assured of getting a NEW
INSTRUMENT. We have the ONLY
First-Class Pianos manufactured, and
have the largest stock to select from.
Beside we sell them as low as any
house north or south, and on EASY
Payments WITHOUT NOTES.

Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-

used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, etc" 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even If they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..

terday afternoon and devoted the first
part OF the session to considering the
case Of John Carlson, who is accused
OF attempting a criminal assault upon

Ter Miller, of the First National bank;
j. w. Lusk, president of the National
German-American bank; and William
Zschau, brother Of the imprisoned re-
celvIng teller, were examined. The
jury will meet at o'clock today
The question of fixing bail for Jack
son, the alleged accomplice of Zschau,
will come before Judge Lewis today
through Pierce Butler attorney for the
accused Jacksons father, who is in
the city, is DESTROYS of having the
amount of bail fixed in order that his
son may be restored to his liberty as
soon as possible. The matter of fix
ing bail in Jackson's case would ordi-
narily come before the municipal
court, but the allie ged offense being one
for which punishment is fixed at seven
years or more upon conviction, the
question of bail comes within the juris-
diction of the district court.

oLIVIA'S YOUNG GIANTS.
New MiIitiamen Unusually Large or
Fergus Falls Men Small.

Either the youth of the town Of
Olivia, who go to make up the new
Third regiment company, are great
strapping fellows, or else the Fergus
Falls militiamen, who were mustered
out are below the average physically,
or both. This fact has been demon
strated in rather an odd manner. By
the transfer of some of the Fergus
Falls uniforms and the furnishing Of
others by the military storekeeper or
quartermaster, it was thought that the
new company could be equipped prop
erly for their new duty. But not 50.

Mrs. Witt X. COchrane Passes Away
After Brief Illness.
After brave struggle with a dread
malady, Mrs. Witt K. Cochrane, the
young wife Of the sporting editor Of
the Dispatch, died yesterday. shortly
after noon, at the family residence, 72S
Selby avenue. Within fortnight Mrs.
Cochrane gave birth to a girl baby,
and since that time has been quite i'll,
the affection being an acute structure
OF the bowels, resulting in the almost
surely fatal peritonitis. 1t was sup
posed by Drs.t Wheaton, McLaren,
Richie and Finnell, who were called in
consultation by DR.. Whitcomb, the
family physician, that an operation
would save the little lady's life, but Il
was found that her strength was in
sufficient to withstand the ordeal, SO
1t was not attempted.
All the loving tenderness and solic-
itude Of family and friends was con-
stantly at hand, out could not stave off
the grim messenger of death. Mrs
Cochrane suffered considerably for
some days until death came to her re-
lief yesterday.
Mr.. Cochrane has come in for the
sincere sympathy of the many friends
of both families in his sorrow, over
the loss of his wife, who was known
as woman of unusually lovable char
acter and disposition Mrs. Cochrane
was the only daughter of Thomas Fo-
ley, and was married to Mr. Coch-
rane scarcely a year ago. She was
tWenty-three years of age at the time
of her death.
Funeral services will be held at the
residence on Selby avenue this after
noon at 4:30 o'clock Father McNulty
will officiate. Six of Mr.. Cochrane's
