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-
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 NEW

Omcer NIIiler's Find.


Mayor Swensson, OF Moline, has
answered the mersorial OF 3. a.
Smith to the board of supervisors
asking that means be adopted to
oblige his honor to pay Sl4.44 taxes
due on property in that city, said
to belong to him. He says that Mr..
Smiths communication reveals too
much malice to have the political
effect desired by himself and his
copsorts, and is too contemplate
to notice. Still be feels that he
ought to explain. He says that it is
true he and his son were employed to
collect the taxes for 1895; that come
personal tax was assessed against
one Gustav Swenson on Third ave-
nue., but that he has not lived on
Third avenue since 1892, and that
his name is not Swenson, but Swens-
son. The mayor further states that
he paid between s400 and $500
taxes last year and consoles himself
with the fact that he has receipts
for all taxes against him since he be-
came a resident of Moline. He says
by way of argument that if the taxes
against Gustav Swenson on Third
avenue could be charged to him
those against Z. A. Smith could be
charged to some other Smith.
Mr.. Smiths Communication came
up before the board again yesterday
and was referred to the committee
on abatements.

THEY NEVER SLEEP
The Opponents of "Corner"
Postoffice Aspirant.
A RECENT SCENE OF REJOICING.

Keeping Warrington Thoroughly Posted
with Local Developments Congress
msn Prince Must Bind Life Abundsnsly
EcjoysbiS.
The capers which the opponents of
"the corner" postoffice aspirations
have been cutting of late-in the
week that has followed the in
auguraticn of President Mckinley
would, il all could be known. afford
a fund for entertainment for the
casual observer for some time to
come. As a matter of course the or
ganized wing of the repu blican party
in Rock Island. which has for its
end and aim, its very existence a sim
gle aim, is not making all its trans
actions known to the dear public.
It has been particularly retiring in
disposition since the late republican
city-township conversion. Never
sheless there was a night Of unaffect-
ed rejoicing within the ranks of the
vendetta bound faction when the
news came from Washington that
Mckinley would appoint no one to q
and hostile opposition was manifect
in the party in the immediate local
ity Of the applicant under considers
tion. Then, too, came the equally
assuring intelligence that an app!i-
cant, to deserve consideration, must
have not only the endorsement of his
own congressman, but of both the
senators from his state. This rule
was intended to apply more strictly
to the general appointments, but is
regarded as equally binding on the
local cases, especially where friction
exists.
The anti-"corner" element has
succeeded in restraining Congress-
man Prince from indicating his pref
erence until now only by the most
alert aud persevering efforts 1t is
known that when Mr.. Prince settled
the Galesburg postofiice by announc-
ing what his recommendation would
be when the time came, he was dis
posed to do the same thing in
Rock Island, and his individual pref
erence is no secret, but realizing
his inclination, the opposition by a
| most desperate effort succeeded in
fcrestalling definite action.
Asked to Wait.
"Just wait until the spring pri.
maries are held, aud we will show
you who is in the saddle" was the
word that went to Washington.
So Congressman Prince waited.
''The corner" heard about the mes
sage and knew what it meant. There
was but one thing to be done. Sell
defense dictated it, and made it i'm
pera;ive as the only course-and that
was fight. The corner" went into
politics again. 1t picked out its can
didate for mayor and laid its wires
for him-and after one of the most
bitter and most sensational party
fights in the history of Rock Island
won ont. Carse was nominated.
The opposition had lost in its own
game at any rate. Then the outburst
of happiness when the announcement
of McKinley's position became known.
The opposition at that time was
waiting anxiously for something to
turn up, and its JOY knew no bounds
when it turned. Now the vigil has
been resumed. The opposition is
again awake. Among the advices
sent to Prince during the ante.con-
vention skirinish was one to this ef.
feet:
