BOUGHT IN MISSOURI
Piano That Is Used in Kansas
Executive Mansion.

Criticism has been heard among the
merchants about the state of Kansas
going to Missouri TO buy a piano for
the governors executive mansion.
Kansas piano dealers are complaining
because they were not asked for as
much as bid for the privilege of put
ting an instrument in the mansion.
The bill has just been paid, approval
having been put upon It by the execu-
tive council at its recent meeting. The
piano was billed at $500, but IS was
allowed for tuning it, SO that the
voucher called for $795. The piano was
bought in Kansas City.
The voucher audited on September s
was made out as follows:

There are large music houses in To-
peka wichita Atchison, and other
Kansas cities Topeka dealers We're
not consulted in furnishing a grand
piano for the executive mansion,
through Wichita's may have been.
A Topeka dealer who was asked
about it said: When the governor was
buying a Chickering grand piano IN
Kansas City, We were selling several
less pretentious instruments and one or
two larger ones, so that we have moth
ing to complain of about the business
we are doing IN Kansas A Kansas
dealer could have furnished any kind
of piano as Well as the Kansas City
firm, for on the high-priced pianos it is
the manufacturers that profit most
The dealer did not get "A great deal out
of it, Six hundred dollars would buy a
frst-class grand piano-the rest is paid
for the name. First-class instruments
that the majority of people buy do not
come to that figure"

The State Board of Pharmacy consists OF
fifteen members, five from each of the districts
According to law, two of the five members from
this district are elected by the Manhattan
Pharmaceutical Association, two by the Kings
