Manufacturers Of pianos in Chicago
are enjoying a great wave of pros
perity. Every firm in the city COM
plains of its inability to keep up with
daily orders. This indicates general
prosperity throughout h country,
for it is only when business is -four
fishing that people Indulge IN such
luxuries as pianos and organs. The
farmer has good crops, good prices and
money to spare, and he Is able to
beautify his home. His demands upon
the city mean steady and profitable
employment for all classes OF work
men. This state Of affairs has crowded
the makers of pianos with more orders
than they can fill in several months.
Here are snap shots taken by Wabash
avenue manufacturers:
s. p. Healy Lyon & Healy)-We are
face to face with a proposition of dis
posing OF more instruments than we
can manufacture.
E. S. Conway (W. w. Kimball Com
pany)-There is an immediate market
for every piano which is made, and
the trade is increasing With a growing
per cent from year to year. =

might come somewhere rear supplying
the demand. Our business at the pres
ent time is unprecedented.
John Church John Church Company
We are further back In u orders
than we have ever been before, ano
can account for it only through the
fact that people seem to have more
money than usual.
Frank Story (story & Clark)-We are
utterly unable to supply the trade
which has been steadily increasing
since 1896. 1 think I am c~onservative
when I figure a third increase, n !,
would not surprise me if it amounted
to one-half more than last year.

Bold and Aggressive.

The presidential campaign of 1900
was opened boldly and aggressively by
Mr.. Bryan in his speech of acceptance
of the Democratic nomination at In
dianapolis yesterday. The occasion
was one of much interest, not only by
reason of the impressive formalities of
the proceedings, and the great enthu-
siasm of the large assemblage, but be-
cause the utterances of the candidate
fixed definitely the paramount issue OF
the campaign which the party in power
has done its best to belittle and cover
up.
Mr.. Bryan makes his stand squarely
on the issue of republic or empire. In
his speech of acceptance the minor and
contingent questions of public policy
with which this election is concerned
do not receive consideration. The SOL
emn duty of the people in the preser-
vation of the principles of our govern
ment overshadows everything else at
this crisis. 1t is question of national
life or national decadence, and on this
line the great struggle is to be waged
Mr.. Mckinley has taken up, with his
party, the position of defense. Mr..
Bryan opens the attack with vigor.
The issue of Imperialism is discussed
in Mr.. Bryan's speech thoroughly, with
entire fairness, with great force and in
a spirit of high patriotism. 1t is re-
markable address, ranking perhaps
higher than any of its authors pre-
vious efforts, in that rhetoric is held
throughout subordinate to logic, and
brilliancy Of effect to convincing
strength Of statement. 1t is an address
which defies condensation, so compact
is its argument, so close knit Its prem
[ tses and conclusions. 1t is speech that

One Of the worst enemies of alfalfa
is the pocket gopher, which digs it's
runs three or four inches under the
surface, cutting off the roots that hap
pen to lie in its path but worst of all
1t throws up chain Of mounds along
the run which renders moving very
difficult. If unmolested this pest will
carry on its depredations to such an
extent that the field will have to be
plowed up. No preventive has been
found Trapping may be employed,
but it is tedious and unsatisfactory.
Poisoning is, perhaps, the easiest
method of destroying the gopher, and
if properly done the pests may be al
most entirely eXterminated.
To poison them as soon as a fresh
mound is seen get some potatoes and
cut them as for seed and procure Il
bottle of crystallized strychnine. With
a knife slit the pieces and put crys-
tai of strychnine not larger than a
wheat grain in the slit, so it will lodge
near the middle of the potato The
potato being moist the strychnine will
soon be dissolved and carried all
through it, and it should be used as
soon as poisoned. With an iron rod
poke into the ground around the fresh
hill until the run is located, and open
1t with a spade. Drop in potato and
cover up. Gophers are very fond of po-
tatoes, and one dose is usually fatal.
If too much strychnine is used, or the
potatoes are not used when freshly
prepared, the poison is not so effec-
tive. If the field is gone over once a
week, the old hills leveled down and
the new ones given potato the goph-
er's work will soon lessen.-Santa Fe
New Mexican.

The peoples candidate for president
has delivered noble speech, solely
devoted to the supreme question. Quar-
rel with him as we may on other is
sues, criticise as We may his past treat
ment of this issue, the fact remains
that he rather than Mckinley places
the paramount issue where it belongs
at the forefront of the discussion.
Whatever the past, Mr.. Bryan rather
than Mr.. Mckinley has ranged himself
and the great party behind him on the
right side of the debate. He throws
the whole organized power of the De-
mocracy into the fight against the i'm
perialist program.-From the Spring

And what can be the use of him is

He is very, very like me from the heels

And l see him jump before me when l

The funniest thing about him is the

Not at all like proper children, which

For he sometimes shoots up taller,
like an India rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that
there is none of him at all.

Mr.. Bryan was introduced to the
country four years ago in a single
burst of popular oratory. He has in
augurated his second campaign at In
dianapolis with an address which must
merit and receive permanent distinc-
ton for the calmness of its tone and
closeness and sobriety of its reasoning,
and for its breadth of craftsmanship.
The contrast marks and epitomizes
the growth of the man.
No one ever before nominated for
the presidency was so little known to
the nation at large as Mr. Bryan was
in 1896, but since that day in Chicago
there has been continuous unfolding
of a remarkable character under a sun
light as fierce as any that ever beat
upon a throne. His rigorous honesty,
his constant frankness, his unfailing
courtesy, his undaunted optimism, his
intense patriotism have availed to pen
citrate the clouds of partisan and fac
tional prejudice until these qualities
are conceded by his antagonists and
become the reliance of his followers.
While the indianapolis speech of ac-
ceptance is not lacking in skill and
elegance, the reader will search it in
vain for idle symbols or mere flowers
of rhetoric. He will find instead an
unDroken thread of earnestness and
candor running through it, with no dis
gressive appeals to irrelevant passions.
In it Mr.. Bryan has not planted him
self upon an epithet but upon prin-
ciple. Call the course of Mr., Mckinley
in the Philippines Imperialism or be-
nevolent assimilation, as you please,
the Democratic candidate takes his po-
sition squarely and boldly in opposi-
tion of it.-Boston Globe.

An amusing story is told of a young
school teacher She was one day re-
turning from her class with her
hands full of flowers, the gifts of her
pupils when she met friend, and the
two stopped to speak to each other.
While they were thus engaged, an
old Italian, whose companion was
grinding melancholy tunes out of
worn-out hurdy-gurdy, approached and
stood beside them, shaking his hat in
dumb show of begging.
The teacher had no purse with her,
and, therefore, paid no attention to the
man; but so persistent was he that she
thoughtlessly and impulsively turned
and said:
Il have no money; Here, take these
flowers,"
The Italian, unusued to such a favor,
which, in his native land is considered
a great compliment, looked at her for
a moment in startled surprise, but
quickly recovering himself, he bowed
low, so that his hat almost touched the
ground. and with smile, in which
humor and gratefulness struggled for
supremacy, he repeated again and
again. while he continued to bow and
scrape:
Mica lada Gooda lada. Mica
lada!"
The chagrin Of the teacher may be
imagined, as she hastily left the group
of laughing bystanders; but the Ital-
ian was unabashed, and continued to
call after her:
Mica lada! Gooda lada,"

There are distinct species of the
American skunk-the jet black and the
black and white striped. The latter
is regarded as one of the most beauti-
full creatures of the animal kingdom.
Its pelt is highly priced, as it makes
the prettiest OF muffs, wraps and neck
boas. The jet black pelt is also high
ly priced, but is not so valuable as the
black and white striped. The pelt of
the latter can always be sold for one
dollar. The oil from the skunk is
worth fifty cents an ounce, and is
used in severe cases Of Group, colds
and kindred diseases. The oil does
