this point to put the car on the track
again and push 1t to Harrison avenue,
where the long hill on Tuscarawas
street begins, ana ride down to the car
barns. While this was being put into
execution, the glimmering lights OF the
patrol wagon hove in sight and the
project was abandoned.
The wagon stopped at Harrison ave-
nue. and on each side of Tuscarawas
street peaceful sports were walking
home, apparently not knowing that
the Canton Street Car line was the pos
SCISSOR of such thing as trailer.
The passengers on the first section
had heard Of the difficulty when enter
ing the city and also saw the patrol
wagon start in westerly direction and
many crowded at the patrol station to
see If any OF their friends we're among
the victims, but the wagon returned
with nary victim and everyone start
ed home after their night outing.
The people on the first section which
left the lake about FIVE minutes before
the second paid sc for their fare and
why the conductor on the second Sec
tion wanted to charge ten cents Is not
understood.
WAS A MISTAKE.
Assistant Superintendent Larry
O'Toole was questioned concerning the
collection Of the ten cent fare. He
said: GAS general rule on cars leav-
ing the lake after IL o'clock contain
ing only 80 or 60 people, the conductor
is authorized to collect the ten cent
fare. 1t appears that the conductor of
the first section last night
did collect only five cents
fares, but the conductor of the follow
ing section, evidently believing the rule
applied to all occasions, tried to collect
the ten cent fare. He was not author
lied to do so but evidently did so
under misunderstanding Of the rule.
When larger numbers than go are on
the cars the five cent fare only is
collected"

BIG PIANO STORE.
e. c. Eberhart to Open Up in the
Hurst Block.
A HANDSOME DISPLAY, INDEED.

A Tasty Room Fitted Up Where the
Music Lovers of Rock Island VIII be
Shown the Acme OF Perfection in Piano
Manufacture-wnI be Open Tomorrow.
Saturday. Feb. 4. L. &. Eberhart
will occupy store room at 800 Twen-
tieth street in the Hurst block. Mr..
Eberhart makes this move simply to
allow himself more room, as he de-
sire5 to carry a large stock of pianos
and have the necessary room required
to show them. In the future his
stock will consist Of 20 pianos on the
floor at all times and every instru-
ment of the very best. Mr.. Eberhart
was in Chicago Wednesday of this
week and carefully selected choice
lot of pianos from the Chickering-
Chase Bros. company, of that place.
This firm is widely known by the
beautiful instruments it manufac-
lures, especially in tone quality. This
stock is undoubtedly the finest ever
brought to this part of the country,
and will lie sold at low figures and on
easy terms, etc. Mr.. Eberhart has
sold more pianos according to the
time he has been in business than any
other dealer in the three cities Why?
Simply because what he advertised.
he had, and sold at prices
that no other dealer could reach.
In regard to terms, etc, you
can get no such terms at any other
house. especially on the kind of pia-
mas he offers. Any amount of old
style painted cased pianos can be had
on easy terms. but he handles no such
goods at all. He has sold honest pia-
nos and will continue to sell them
He simply invites you 10 call and see
for Yourself. If what he says are not
facts. ask your neighbors what kind
of a piano they purchased of Eber-
hart-anyone who cOntemplates buy
ing. 1t will pay You to call and see
his stock. Bring any expert and test
them in every practical way He will
oDen his new store to the public Sat
urday evening. He will also have
fine repair room and will do all kinds
of repairing, tuning, etc. Work
guaranteed.

GERHAN ATTITUDE UNCHANGED.
CONSIDERS ACTION OF OTHER POWERS IN
SAMOA ILLEGAL ANGRY AT
ADMIRAL KAUTZ


London. April 1o.-The Berlin correspondent of
1.-THE Standard" says:
After receiving Mr. White the United States
Ambassador. and Sir Frank Lascees. the Brit
ish Ambassador, last week, and explaining to
them Germany's attitude regarding Samoa, EN-
peror William sent instructions to the German
Ambassadors in London and Washington to the
general effect that Germany considers the new
government Of Samoa illegal and the action Of
the British and Americans clear violation OF
the Samoa act.
"The report Of the behavior of Admiral Kautz
toward the German cruiser Fake has given UNI
bragg throughout the empire. and it is consld-
cred certain that If the report is confirmed the
United States will readily admit Germany's right
to satisfaction and will repair Admiral Kautzs
errors 1t is hoped. however. that the accounts
are exaggerated"
Berlin, April 9-The National Zetung" dis
cussing the situation at Samoa, declares that
all changes which have occurred there since
the middle of March are invalid, and that the
conditions established by the Joint proclamation
OF the consuls on January are still legally in
force.
While admitting the "amicable attitude OF the
American Government the National Eel
tung" says:
1T must remain undecided for the present
whether Admiral Kautz has assailed the honor
of the German flag. II this should prove to have
been the case, we have the fullest confidence in
the ability Of the Government not only 20 keep
tne actual solution OF the Samoan question in
view, but also to secure adequate satisfaction
ior the moral interests OF the German Empire.
