Gold Medal and Highest Awards Given to
Klmban rlanOs and Organs.
W. W Kimball Company, of Chica
GO, have just received the gold medal
and highest award at the Omaha ex-
dosition for the superiority of their
pianos and organs. This fully supple

the Kimball instruments at the
Worlds Fair for "superlatlve merit
and highest standard Of excellence, r."
the only pianos and organs receiving
this great distinction.
The honors bestowed upon these In
struments by these expeditions are the
natural outcome of the conditions
prevailing at the Kimbsll factories.
The most eminent experts in piano
and organ construction are employ ed,
the best materials only are used, and
all the various parts are made in their
own factories. The Kimball plant has
been enlarged from time to time until
IL ia now double the size Of any other
institution OF the kind in existence.
The grea' est musicians of the time
cheerfully concede to the w. W. Kim

The Great Steamboat Race

Up the Mississippi, between the rival
steamboats,, r. Il. Lee and Natchez' is
graphically reproduced in the new
Tennessee play, "a Romance OF Coon
Hollow" The view given is just As
the Lee Is passing the Natchez at
night, the two boats being lit up and
vomiting forth flames, smoke and
steam,
TO quote from Alvin Dsle's thought
full review in the New York World,
"Coon Hollow pleases. 1t is inter
esting and thoroughly human. The
characters are neatly sketched snd
many Of the felicitious touches that
made Blue Jeans famous, are to be
found in this much more modest little
work. The strength of 'Cosn Hollow
lies in its humanity. Georgia, the
roadside violet, is feGh aud blood; and
Clyde Herrod, the mountain thistle, is
living being; Diogenes Sharp is fun
ny and is not overdrawn, and Lem
Stoekwell is q real and pulsating
man"
The above grand production will be
at the Guthrie opera house Tuesday
night, January 81. Seats on sale at 9
o'clock Monday morning.

CHEADLE'S TREE.

Local Coal King HAS an 500 Ton Tree
Hauled TO His Home.
Ned Cheadle, councilman from the
third ward and msnager of Helms
extensive interests, has surmounted a
horticultural proposition on which he
deserves to be censured and commend
ed in language much more terse, rapid
and lateral than that used by Col.
Bill sschlegel, advance agent of the
Chandler cyclone. Ned was not mar
ried until long after he had passed the
meridian OF life. One OF his greatest
hobbies has been the planting OF trees
When a lad, hardly older than ihre e
o'clock, he expressed desire to be
married young and plant 4 tree In
honor OF the event. There was no
fruition to Ned's desire so far as earli-
ness was concerned. But he has made
good his desire, albeit the time was
late, His handsome yard in South
Guthrie bears mute evidence of the
tumult. An elm tree weighing 500
tons has been trausplanted, root,
branches and leaves, from the black
iackB four miles west of town to
oheadle's yard. 1t required eighteen
men and SO mules and oxen to do the
job. but Ned is satisfied. The tree
will grow and thrive and its kindly
branches cast hospitable shadow
over the landscape and the coalIbaron
will in after years relate to friends
how that tree was planted when be
was welded at the age OF eighteen
years. There will be deception IN
this Of course, but then there is de-
ception some times in coal weights, at
least that is what Bill Schlegel says.

FOUR POUNDS OF FLESH, FROM
ONE POUND OF FOOD.

The statement is made that one pound
of Grape-Nuts viii supply more nour-
ishment chat the system will absorb,
than 10 pounds of meat, wheat. or oats
A man protested that the claim was
extravaganza, but upon trial it was
found that by leaving off meat alto
gether at breakfast and lunch, and TAX
ing in it's place. 4 heaping teaspoons
of Grape-Nuts began to gain flesh and
strength and before the full pound
package was gone had gained pounds
in weight, whereas he had been losing
on his meat diet.
How could he gain four pounds and
only eat one pound of Grape-Nuts? Re
member the four teaspoons of Grape
Nuts are but portion of the meal, but
they furnish the pre-digested and easily
assimilated part and help digest other
foods, assisting nature in building in
water (75 per cent Of all fesh). In other
words Grape Nuts furnish the workers
or the active elements of food in the
most perfect condition for nature to
make use of.
Grocers furnish Grape-Nuts at Is
cents per package.

RACING AT NEW ORLEANS.
First Day OF the season a signal sue

First Day of the Season n Signal Suc-
New Orleans, Dec. 1.-The regular
winter meeting of the Crescent City
Jockey Club was inaugurated yesterday
in the presence of one of the largest
crowds that ever passed through the
gates on an opening day
The spacious grand stand was taxed
to it's utmost capacity The center field
presented a picturesque appearance as
the sun shone on the silks and satins
which bedecked the feminine occupants
Of the carriages drawn up in a line di-
rectly opposite the stand. Society was
out in full force, and TO all appearances
seemed to enjoy the racing hugely.
Everything passed off smoothly, the
management deserving a great deal of
credit for the way the subordinates car
ried out their instructions, and, all
things considered it was the most sue
cessful opening the Jockey Club has
ever enjoyed.
Starter Fitzgerald was at his best as
in almost every race the horses We're
dispatched at the first effort. Fifteen
books drew in and they We're kept busy
the entire afternoon attending to the
wants of the public, the speculation be-
ing brisk throughout.
The feature of the afternoons racing
was the Inaugural handicap, for all
ages, $1,500 guaranteed, of which $500 to
second and 5000 to third, the fourth TO
save entrance money. Thirteen first
class horses We're carded to start, but at
the last minute Mr. Walden decided to
withdraw Hardly, leaving dozen to
sport silk at the call of the bugle.
Each entry had a large following.
with Mizpah and Imp Mint Sauce as the
favorites. Just before post time there
was quite plunge on the latter and by
the time they were in the starters
hands the Texas horse was a decided
first choice. Whatever chance he may
have had was wasted by the manner in
which he was ridden by Frost, but at
that the race was captured by far the
best horse.
Triaditza rushed to the front at the
