Great musicians use Kimballs. The
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $4,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav-

charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordica says:
"The more use my Kimball piano the
better 1 like it," Jean De Reszke says:
I'VE have concluded to purchase Kim

FIRES ON THE PRAIRIE.
NOTHING IN NATURE Equal THEIR
HORROR AND GRANDEUR.

Solid Walls of Flame, Often Thirty
Feet High, Sweep the Plains for
Hundreds of Miles, Destroying
Everything In Their Path-Lynch-
ing Follows Some Fires.
Denver Letter in New York Sun.
The fires that recently devastated for
ests in Northern Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, other recent fires that swept across
areas of prairie lands in Manitoba and
North Dakota and still other fires that
burned over square miles among the Rocky
Mountains have revived a train Of remi-
niscences among the old-time plainsmen
out this way concerning their own ex
periences in great prairie fires two or
three decades ago. One who has never
seen a prairie fire such as used every
fall to devastate the plains from the Mis-
souri, river to the Rocky Mountains and
from the Rio Grande to Central British
America can have no idea what such
enormous CONGREGATIONS were. No one
has yet adequately described the fright
full sublimity, the grandeur and the aw-
fulness of a sea of lurid flames, tens of
thousands acres broad, rolling. tossing and
rushing forward like an enraged titanic
monster and leaving in the trail blacken-
ed and smoking ruins from horizon to
horizon Mark Twain has said that the
most colossal awning thing in all nature
is a great fire on the plains, such as he
saw in Nebraska In the fan of 1860.
Prairie fires with solid walls of flames
twenty-five and thrty-fve feet high, ex-
tending ten and more miles as the wind
might be blowing. have been common. De-
scrlptive writer's and artists have WED
with one another in an effort to depict
the sensations that animate one who looks
upon a sweeping, roaring prairie fire. but
all efforts have failed The burning Of
Moscow and the conflagration at Chicago
have been fancifully pictured in song and
story, but it has remained for the naked
savage of the plains to tell with some
degree of adequacy of the prairie fire. "It
is" says he, "the spirit of fire. who In
anger has drawn his bow of flames across
the path of the red man."
So large a part of the prairie Is now
broken up by settlements that the fires
have lost much of their old-time size and
grandeur; but the very fact of the settle
ment makes the danger to property and
life the greater. When the county, from
the Gulf of Mexico to the northern boun-
dairy of the United States, and even be-
yond, was almost unsettled. a great fire
could sweep almost from one end of il to
the other and do no damage except to the
game il might overtake in its mad chase.
With settlement the danger to man begins,
and as long as there are any considerable
stretches of prairie there is always dan
ger unless the farm buildings and villages
are carefully provided with fire breaks.
In 1874 some hunters started prairie fire
