The community was startled
Tuesday evening to learn that
Albert, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
HI. Willardt, IL years of age,
had that evening died from the
effects of pneumonia; he and
his younger brother having re-
mained at the Red River bath
ing too long the Sunday before.
The younger brother pulled
through. But the one who
passed away, got beyond help
almost before it was thought
he was dangerously ill. The
remains were laid away in
Fairview Cemetery this, Thurs
day afternoon, the German
Lutheran minister officiating,
assisted by Rev. Shaw, in the
German and English Ian
guages. The grieved parents
and family have the sympathy
of the community in their
severe loss.

A Case of Piano Blackmail.


The Piano Purchasers Guide
for 1900 on page 45, says that
in most cases if you take a
musician along with You, you
will get the piano whose owner
pays the highest commission
and that commission will be
tackled onto the price of your
piano. We are recently in re-
ceipt of letter from a teacher
"a professor in one of the lead
ing institutions of the state,
offering, for a certain stated
amount, to use his influence
for the sale of a Kimball piano.
We are the regular agents Of
the w. w. Kimball Company,
and have been for over a. year
past. Our business is located
here. We have been here for
years and will remain. We in
tend to sell more instruments
in Wahpeton during this sale
and the former sale held here,
than will be sold this year by
all the travelling statesmen COM
bined. TO do this we shall do
Just as we advertise. We will
sell during this sale Kimball
pianos with a saving of from
one to two hundred dollars on
the price of the piano. In the
Wahpeton Globe and the Nord
Dakota Presse of Wahpeton, we
mention in our article what
our savings are ON the figures
that it costs an average dealer
to sell a piano. This will fur
nish interesting reading for
you and we suggest that it will
be to your interest to read this
article. If you need piano
and desire to save one-half the
usual price, come at once. You
may be acquainted with the
fact that you can save 500 to
$500 on the price of a piano.
You are passing by the great
est piano purchasing opportun-
ity you have ever had offered
to you. Don't be unmoved to
the fact that now is the time to
secure a piano at a price that
you will be unable to duplicate.
You may be acquainted with
the fact that little Mary is
growing up into womanhood
without the same opportuni-
ties your neighbor's children
have OF the knowledge OF
music.
