violation Of the dead. Then the other
priests would come with salt of inter

complete the embalmment. But

Gable Company's Piano Sale Bring
ing Big Results.
TWO OF THE FINEST PIANOS TAKE
Five Piano and Two Organs Have
Been Sold This Week, and Many
Other Sales in Prospect-A Fine
Opportunity for All.

4
Nothing in the way of large
piano and organ sale has ever been
advertised in Ottumwa which has
beenso successful from every point Of
view as the one now under way by
the Gable company, of Chicago, in the
jewelry and music store of R. S.
Field, on Main street. The excellent
standing. of the. Gable company, which
is the largest mandatory of pianos
and organs in the world, together
with the well known business inte-
gritty OF Mr.. Field, are enough to re-
move all doubt as to the genuineness
of the goods advertised and the high
value of the instruments placed on
the floor for this sale.
Since the sale began, one week
ago today, five fine pianos and two or
gans have been sold, while number
of other prospective purchasers have
been in the store and inspected the
display. The beautiful colonial Gable
grand was sold yesterday to lead.
ing grocer of Ottunwa, while an Ed.
dyville customer has purchased the
handsome Kingsbury instrument
which had prominent place on the
floor. All that is necessary is an in.
spection of the line displayed in Mr..
Fields store. The instruments spsak
for themselves without the aid of a
salesman.
| No more appreciative Christmas
present for Your home could be pur
chased than piano or organ, and this
sale, coming just at the holiday time
is big opportunity for those who de
sire to add to the beauty of their par.
lor and provide their children with q
musical education Mr.. Field has
handled the Gable company's instrll
ments for the past twenty years and
fully guarantees every claim made by
the company. Thus you are running
no risk whatever. Mr.. Field has been
in business in Ottumwa for many
years, and expects to be for. many
more, and his business statements
can be relied upon.
I II you have not already visited the
store, you are certainly throwing
away fine opportunity, by not al
least calling and looking over the in
struments. on sale. Arrangements as
to terms of sale will be made to sui
your own convenience, and there is
certainly no reason why every home
should not be possessed with piano
or organ. Remember this sale is only
for two weeks, and we would like tt
have you come early.

GUY G. MAJOR TALKS.
Former ottumwa Man Explains the
American Linseed's Position.

Former ottumwa Man Explains the
American Linseed's Position.
Guy G.. Major, of New York, presi-
dent of the American Linseed COM
pany and son of Mrs. W. T. Major,
of this city made statement recent
ly regarding the increased cost of lin
seed oil. He indirectly denied that
the linseed oil trust" is being
Squeezed" by SPECTATORS, and said
thtt the increased cost of linseed
made rise in the price of the oil
imperative, and that it necessarily
followed that the corporation needed
more funds to conduct its business.
Mr.. Major Interviewed.
Soon after the rumor had arisen
that the corporation commonly known
as the 'linseed oil trust" had been
squeezed" and intended asking for
receiver with the idea of reorgani-
cation, Mr.. Major was interviewed
and said:
Eve have no complaint to make
regarding the condition of the market.
The demand is good and will contln.
lie SO in spite of the reduced prices
as long as the producers of paint, var
nish and linoleum need linscad oil.
But when the price of seed has risen
from 81 a bushel last years figure, to
$1.S0 bushel, which is what we pay
for it now, obviously a greater capital
is needed than was the case before.
have just paid $4,000 for seed, the
oil from which will not be put upon
the market before February.
Needs More Money.
"The simple fact is that we need
more money than we now have In or.
der to take care of our business, and
we don't hesitate to admit it, Last
year we used altogether $4,000, 900
Of working capital We shall need
to raise $5,oO0OO0 more now. We
are selling our oil at IS cents now
while we charged SO cents for it when
seed cost us 81 bushel.
Plans Being Formulated.
"There is a committee now at work
formulating plan for raising the
needed millions, and it will report
to the directors at their prospective
meeting on December in this city.
There are two plans under discus
sion. The first is the simple project
of an issue of bonds. The second in
wolves a. reduction of capitalization
If this plan were chosen. the capital
tzation would probably be reduced tc
about $16.000,000, of which $1,000,
900 would represent the stock now eX
listing. the remaining s5,O00,000 to be
subscribed for by an underwriting
syndicate, which would pay for it in
cash at par, the cash so provided be
ing devoted to working capital.
No Reorganization.
1T is by no means likely that we
shall consider the method of applying
for receiver and effecting a reor
ganization thru voluntary bankrupt
cy. AS we are not defaulting in pay
| ing interest on bonds we have nc
ground for app ying for a receiver
And, then, we own great deal o.
property in Illinois. BY the laws O
that state any holder of ten shares
of our stock could get an injunction
against us, blocking the exchange
of stock which would be necessary
