The Reason Why.

One day for thirty days-that
means one Conover piano to be sold
every day for thirty days. We can't
help it If we sell two a day some days;
for instance, like we did yesterday.
That means the longer you postpone
your selection the fewer you will have
to select from. There is no difference
in ConoVer pianos one is just as good
as another. The actions are all made
by the finest action-makers in the
world. The difference in the size OF
the piano makes the difference in price
ASK anyone-no matter who-what the
Conover piano is. Ask any mechanic why
the Conover is one of the best made. He
knows chats no JOSH. Don't be de-
luded with an idea put in your head
by commission fiends and cheap sales
men that there is one best, or two best,
for that reason, pianos. To be sure,
some pianos are better than others
You doubtless remember the contro-
versy between Charles A. Dana and
Ambrose Bierce Mr.. Bierce was asked
to become one of committee to pass
judgment on the ten best poems. We
all know what Mr.. Bierce said: There
are no ten best poems" There is no
prospective purchaser-dont attempt to
grade an instrument by the retail price.
Many dealers will sell three pianos, all
alike-same make, style, etc.-to three
different people for three different
prices. 1t must stand to reason (ac-
cording to your judgmenD that the
one who paid the highest price got the
best piano; but how foolish to sup
pose that the case. Buy any piano
made-no matter who made it or how
it is made-buy it legitimately, and
you will get your moneys worth, but
when you attempt to pay commissions
pay three or four profits-then you are
getting the worst of the deal. To be
plain you are getting skinned Buy a
Conover, a piano as good as the best;
piano that has satisfied the people
of Sacramento for twenty years; sold
legitimately and sold direct from the
manufacturer; sold only on one profit.
You can make your own terms and
price. Corner Seventh and K streets;

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
Indigestion or in in it's chronic FORM
dyspepsia, and for the very reason that
it is so common many people neglect
taking proper treatment for what they
consider trifling stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact, indigestion lays
the foundation for many incurable dis
eases No person with a vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stomachs
are out of gear; weary. languid, faded
perfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be a cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as a
score of other troubles, when in fact,
as Dr. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover,
this remedy is not q patent medicine,
but it is scientific combination of pure
pepsin (free from animal matter), veg
etable essences. fruit salts and bismuth.
It is sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No ex-
travagant claims are made for them,
but for indigestion or any stomach
trouble. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
far ahead of any remedy yet discovered.
They act on the food eaten, no dieting
is necessary, simply eat all the whole
some food you want and these tablets
will digest it, A cure results, because
all the stomach needs is a rest, which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by do
ing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 90
cents per package. Little book on
stomach diseases and testimonials sent

How They Reached a Verdict.

How They Reached a Verdict.
The verdict in the murder case
against Villers, with life Imprisonment
as a sentence, is not satisfactory to a
good many people there who believe he
should have been hanged, but is accept
ed as probably reasonable under the
circumstances. since there was no direct
evidence against him and the circum-
stantial evidence in some instances was
not as conclusive as it might have been.
The first ballot on the guilt or inno-
cence of the prisoner resulted in seven
for and five against conviction. The
next vote stood eleven to one for con
viction and at this it repained for a
long time, eleven ballots being necces-
eary to decide this point.
AS was expected there was a fight on
the question OF penalty. Eight of the
jurors on the first vote were in favor of
hanging; the second ballot showed but
four. The value Of the circumstantial
evidence was discussed at length, other
