The Proof.

We have a contract with the Kranich
4 Bach piano company ante dating the
contract Of the Knight Locke company
by some time. Our contract is for Mesa
county and adjoining territory on the
western slope.
We deny in toto that the KING ht. Locke
company controls the sale of the Kran
ich Il Bach pianos in this county. The
Courtesy" of these "Knightly" gentle
men is indeed pathetic-to all W US to
sell what they indeed have no right to
oppose.
Our experience in the business also
ante dates this old firm about five years.
Our experience in gush and slush we do
not attempt to offer in comparison.
The big jams and crowds OF people
who are rushing to buy four pianos-the
Immense stock" shipped here from the
''east"-is wonderful indeed.
After ALL who gets the bsnetit? The
itinerant peddler gets your money for
consideration and is gone. Whom
should tn. people patronizs, him or the
one who contributes to the support Of
the city and helps each OF you bear the
burden OF taxation and assists in up
building the town?
We only ask your support and custom
il we can do as we'll for you as the pedd-
ler, and this we can aud will do; so we
ask 40 odds, only fair deal and iuves-

The SChley Court
May be After Effects

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE result
of the Schiey court of inquiry will
probably not be known until after
Congress meets. 1t is peculiarly a mill
tary court and the verdict always ap-
pears as the undivided opinion of the
court. There Is no such thing as a dis
senting opinion from any member.
The majority vote decides in every
instance. The opinion drawn by the
court with such assistance as 1t may
desire from the Judge Advicate and 1t
is signed by the President of the Court
and by the Judge Advocate. The
names of the other two members of
the court do not appear at all.
Nothing like this Is looked for. and
the general opinion is that in the court
a harmonious feeling exists, while Ad-
miral Dewey il favorable inclined to-
ward Admiral Schley. A feeling pre-
walls that Admirals Benham and Ram-
say are disposed to censure Schley for
his course prior to the E',''." of San
tiago, but this feeling grows largely
from the character of the questions
which the court asked of the witnesses.
notably Admiral Schley himself These
questions had been drawn by Admirals
Benham and Ramsay and h1, been
more searching than any put. either
by Schley's counsel or by the Judge
Advocate There has been nothing in
them to indicate a disposition to
| ignore any articles of the precept. In
| deed. some persons have thought that
the court would make the findings In
a large measure on replies to Its own
questions. Only one thing can be
| forctold with certainty about the find
ings of the cuort. Whatever they
may be. the court will give Its reasons
for the decision with regard to each
precept in great detail. II Is generally
understood that the court has author
| ity. If 1t shall see IT. to recommend a
conrtmartial. In that case such step
| IA to be ordered by the Department.
There Ia a provision In the regulations
| that an officer shall not be held ac-
countabie for offenses two years after
they have been committed but 1t has
been held In previous cases that TINS
acts as Limitation only when appeal
ed to by the officer under inquiry
| Should the court recommend court
martial on any account, and shouip
the Department order one. then Schley
could appeal successfully to this hml-
tation in the regulations, but unless ne
made such an appeal the trih would
90 on. Friends of Admiral Schley seem
determined that whatever the result oil

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-"If the
Treasury Department is worried about

This tersely voices the sentiment of

that the Wholesale reduction of war

II is the leading topic among the
strongest forces in both houses. Very
clearly the Republicans realize that
there is among the people. especially
In the West strong demand for re-
vision of taxes of both kinds. This is
reflected by two or three prominent
Republicans. including Babcock OF
Wisconsin and Overstreet of Indiana.
But they appear to be In an impotent
minority with their party.
nabcock will lead again the fight for
reduction of the tax on beer. He start
ed II in the last Congress, but accom-
plished nothing. 1t was after defeat
of the beer reduction was assured that
Babcock proposed to reduce the tariff
on trust products. especially iron and
steel manufactures. He had strong
leverage. as he relied on Payne, Gros-
venor and Dalzell but could not move
them These Republicans have no big
breweries in their districts. They
fought the beer reduction and smiled
at Babcock's 8 efforts to cut down duties
on other imports. The fight will be
resumed when Congress meets. but the
men who control. such as Hanna and
Aldrich in the Senate and Payne and
DalzeIl in the House, say emphatically
that the surplus is doing no harm. 1t
liz stated authoritatively at the Treas
ury also that, In view OF coming ex-
penditures. the enormous supply OF
cash in the Treasury will be needed
and that no sweeping reduction can be

Hopeless Creature
Discovered in FL PasO

EI. PASO. Nov l4.-~Miss Maria
Chavez. a Mexican girl eighteen years
OF age is detained at the county Jail
awaiting the outcome of warrant on
which she has been arrested on a
charge of insanity.
The officers Of the probate court are
at loss for a means of disposing of
the case 1t viii be difficult to try her
on the insanity charge as she Is more
of an idiot than deranged mentally. II
has been learned that the girl since
birth has not displayed the least in
| telieence.
Being an orphan withouth any other
relative here except great grand
mother her care has fallen on tie
shoulders of the aged woman who is
hardly able to care for herself. Those
familiar with the case say the girl and
her guardian have lived in squalor in
a small hut near the river for several
years. II was to improve the condi-
tion of the former that the arrest was
made.
Physicians who have examined the
girl say that she is without mind and
cannot either think for herself or be
taught in the same manner as an ami
NAL Efforts have been made to teach
her things that every child Of two
years knows but without success. She
has no memory whatever and does not
even know her name
The woman attendant at the Jail has
| to feed and dress the girl. She spends
most of the time lying on bed and
when she does stand up il is TO remain
| in n fixed position, staring at some
object without removing her eyes. The
only answers she can give to questions
| are yes and no" Outside of these
| two words she has no vocabulary.
