Jobbery and Corruption

There is no special occasion to review
at any great length the session of the
California legislature that has just
closed. 1t began with scandal and 1t
ended with one, and there was not
week of the session when both senate
and house were free from reports, more
or less well authenticated, Of 5obbery

came just before adjournment. when
evidence showing shameless bribery In
behalf of the coyote claims bill was pre-
sented, and the hastily prepared report
of the committee admitted that money

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 a lot Of
money. Manufacturers who consign
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 d.
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.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 27.-The comp

To Tax Collectors: i beg to call your

such penalty.
Instructions for reporting collections
