work is not more frequently heard by
Wheeling audiences. Added to the ar

Why People Should Inform Themselves
About the Various Makes and Grades of
Pianos - Something About the Capen
Piano.
The subject Of pianos is an interest
ing one to the public not only because
nearly every person is musical to some
degree, but the thousands of people
who have pianos in their homes and
the many more who are prospective
purchasers want to know about the
various grades and makes OF lnstru-
ments on the market.
A just and proper opinion Of the
quality and value of an instrument is
only gained by becoming informed, and
the person who undertakes nowadays
to purchase a piano without knowing
something Of the reputation Of the diff
fefent makes and styles Of construc-
ton can hardly be expected to make
an intelligent or satisfactory selection.
There are some pianos, however, whose
name speaks for itself and is guar
antee OF standard value. There are a
dozen and more makes of pianos sold
in this city, representing almost as
many different grades, yet there are
a few instruments which occupy a
place in the estimation of informed
musical people that can not be sup
planted by others. Among these is the
Capen piano, manufactured by the
Brockpcrt Piano Company of Brock
port, New York. The financial status
of the company which manufactures
this piano is rated among the best and
most substantial in the country, and the
music journals all speak in highest
praise Of the Capen instrument. 1t is
considered as superior instrument at
a medium price, and its popularity and
remarkable success since its introduce
ton can be attributed to these two
facts.
II makes its best impression where
it is brought into competition or COM
parison with other pianos, for the ma
jority Of pianos are either high priced
Or Of medium quality. The Capen up
right is most substantially made, being
constructed entirely of hard wood and
elegantly carved and finished In its
construction alone it represents the
best effort in musical mechanics. In
tone it has the rare combination Of
sweetness and power without danger
of ever growing metallic and harsh to
the ear This instrument which has
made rapid strides in the piano trade
and has taken a front rank, is sold in
this city by the firm of Milligan, Will
kin & Co., who have several beautiful
styles in mahogany, walnut and other
woods in stock. The public is spec
tally invited to call during the holidays
and inspect this remarkable piano.

POULTRY SHOW PROSPECTS.
Location Secured and Everything
Looks Like Ready Money.

The committees having in charge the
rangements for the thirteenth annual poultry
show met last evening and the reports Of all
the committees were very favorable to an
unusually fine exhibition. The committee
appointed to secure location for the show
reported that it had secured the former loca-
ton OF the Hanan Shoe company at 92-94-96
East Seventh at a very satisfactory rental.
The store has a large window area and excel
lent ventilation.
The report of the committee on finance show
ed that the citizens had responded literally
to the calls which had been made upon them,
and that there was sufficient money on hand
to insure an excellent exhibition. There will
be some good prizes. Large numbers of en-
tries are coming in every day. and it is ex-
within few days, so rapidly are the applica-
lions being filed. A feature Of the exhibition
will be the prizes offered and the committee
will announce some surprises later
Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 8 and g. there
will be a voting contest to determine the
most popular police officer In the city, and
the winner will be donated one pen of white

CAN FIX THEIR SALARIES.
County commissioners Have the
Power Under the Law.

County Attorney Anderson rendered
his opinion yesterday as to the power
Of the board of county commissioners
to fix the salaries Of the county COM
missioners for the year 1897 and sub
sequent years.
The county attorney holds that under
chapter 301, laws Of 1895, the board OF
county commissioners has such power.
He recites the fact that on Dec. %.
1896, the board of county commissions
ers adopted resolution fixing the
salaries Of the county commissioners
for the year 1897 and subsequent years
at $3.50 per month or $3.50 a year. 1t
is the opinion of Mr.. Anderson that the
act Of 1895 imposed upon the board OF
county commissioners the duty of
meeting last December and fixing the
salaries of all county officials, save the
Judges of the district court and the
clerk Of courts whose term does not
expire until two years hence. The
county commissioners are county Of
flcials, and in the opinion of the county
attorney, the county board was en-
powered to fix the salaries of the
county commissioners as set forth in
the resolution adopted last December.
The county attorney adds that the
question of the constitutionality Of the
law Of 1895 authorizing such action is
not involved in his opinion.

DIVERSION AT A DANCE.
Women Enjoy IL Prize-Fight 90 in
black and White.

That's the funniest thing l ever saw
at a dance" remarked a young woman at
Labor hall last evening after half of a pro-
gramme of dance numbers had been played
at ball given by the Danish Tug of-War
club, and while she probably did not mean it
so, her remark carried a doubly true mean
ing. The young woman probably meant that
it something of an oddly to stop the
progress of a ball to permit of a fve-rodnd
Sparring match between white man and a
negro, for that was the event which called
forth her remark, but she was also correct
in the statement that it was funny The
participants in the go" were Buff" Nc
Manus and Dan Collins, both clever enough
with their dukes" perhaps, but 1t Is a
cinch that neither Of them ever before
scrapped before an audience two-thirds Of
which were women. 1t was only friendly
bout and the men did not try to punish each
other, fact which was responsible for the
ludricrous side Of the affair. The effort OF the
men to appear ION the square," while of
course it was known that there was to be nc
slugging produced a series of scenes which
would have made the fortune of a kinet-
escope syndicate, undreamed of by the repro
duction of the coming fight between Fitz-
simmons and Corbett. The male portion OF
the crowd, however, enjoyed the event i'm
mensely and encouraged the principals with
all of the phrases of the ringsde, while
the women in some instances also evidenced
their pleasure at the diversion. There was
also a tug-of-war contest, when the dane
ing was resumed.

Orders for Idaho Democrats Sent
West by the National Chairman.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Jones, chairman Of the Democratic ma
tiOnal committee, today sent a telegram
to Secretary Walsh, who is in Idaho,
saying in the strongest terms that par
ty expediency demanded that the DEM
ocrats in the Idaho legislature vote for
Dubois. Following is the text of SEN
ator Jones message:
Upon full consideration of the situa-
ton we believe that the controversy in
Idaho today Is the same that was
fought in the last campaign--that the
interests Of the national Democracy de-
mand the election of Dubois, who with
Teller and others led the silver Repub-
licans out Of the Republican party. His
defeat by Democratic votes or by the
failure to obtain them will not only
affect our party in the senate, but will
weaken and dissipatA our strength in
the West and central West We regard
his election of supreme Importance.
Can we present a stronger argument to
our brother Democrats of Idaho"
