THE
WEBER PIANO

THE history Of the Weber Piano vividly illus
trates the value of persistence and fidelity to
an idea As musician, Albert Weber, senior,
recognized early in his that the development
of the piano had hitherto been almost wholly In
the direction of mechanism To improve the tone
and give to it the sympathetic quality found in the
violin became the central motive of his lie The
result more than justified his conception, and the
Weber Piano-fortc to-day stands as the embodi
rnent of the musicians idea of tone. Maintaining
all the advantages of the highest excellence in con-
chief glory of the Weber Piano is yet THAT
PURE, RICH, AND SYMPATHETIC QUALITY
OF TONE, IN THE POSSESSION OF WHICH
1T STANDS ALONE.

Mrs. r. j. Morrison took the
position that the liquor business
could and must be wiped out.
The other speakers-men OF ex-
perience-including g. N. Moses,
e. C.aCole, F. V. Russell, Mayor
sAber, E. r. Moses, Capt. Lewis,
NJ. B. Fits, ETC., took the con-
sentative position-the only log
ical position-that of controlling
and regulating the liquor bust
ness through fines-assessed
monthly. The meeting passed
a motion expressing dissatisfac-
ton with the present city mar
shall and asking the Mayor and
council to make a change; also
recommending that there should
be two or three men on the police
force; that the council should
grant petitions for brick side
walks where the property owners
desired them, and that more at
tention should be given to the
sanitary conditions of our city.
An election of three other mem
bers, to fill the vacancies in the
LIST and 18th wards, has been call
ed, and when there is a full board
of eight councilmen possibly some
action can be taken.
We earnestly hope that men
will be elected to these vacancies
who will act conservatively and
for the best interests in the city;
and further, that the council will
pay no more attention to the
pledges and promises of the fol
lowers of Carrie Nation who have
SO utterly failed in accomplish
ing anything good thus far.
AS Cleveland once said: cit is
la condition and not a theory
that confrOnts us" Let us meet
the condition squarely, and do
that which will best assure good
order and good government in
our municipal affairs. There is
no use getting wrathy and 'hot
under the collar"-that is an
evidence of fanaticism-but let
us be plain and honest in ou1
positions and work and talk fol
what we believe to be the best
for the town.
