q Healy, has just bought for a fraction
of their usual cost, the surplus stock of
several eastern piano manufacturers
These splendid pianos will be offered

they offer wareroom full of1slightiy
used and second hand pianos, including
instruments of the following we'll known
makes, Sterling, Huntington, Chase,
Vose, Fischer, Weber, Chickering, Stein
way, Knabe, Hartman, Kurtzman, New
England, etc. In square pianos there
are fine toned instruments of all the
leading makes at S25, $40, $50 and up
wards. In upright pianos neat instru-
ments at 500, S12O, $40, $3.50, $3.50, $3.50
5000 and upwards. In parlor and con-
cert grands some nice specimens at $3.50,
and upwards. Nearly all these pianos
are intended to sell for much more than
these sale prices. This is an opportunity
that will not occur again. Immediate
attention is therefore necessary. Lyon

lars upon application Any piano not
proving entirely satisfactory may be re-
turned at their expense. Address simply
Lyon & Healy, Chicago. Distance is no
obstacle in taking advantage of this re-
markable chance to obtain piano, for,
in proportion to the saving to be made,
the freight charges are insignificant.

By THE walls of the crokers, many
have formed the impression that our
railroads have been tax dodgers, bearing
little or no part OF the state expendi-
lures, when the fact is that during the
past ear they have paid into the Golfers
Of the treasury about 81, 7oO,OOn. The
per cent which our railroads pay upon
their gross earnings is not surpassed by
any other state in the Union. We do
not pretend that this sum is too much,
because the roads are paying it cheer
fully; we do not say it is too little as
that is problem for the Tax Commits
sion and the Legislature to investigate
and determine. When a farmer has a
fine herd Of Jersey COWS that are yield
ing him good returns and making his
life burdens much easier than they would
otherwise be: if he is wise. he is thank
full, and uses the creatures kindly. He
does not whack them over the heads with
the milking stool for yielding too little,
or kick them in the ribs for not doing
better. But latterly, in this arraign-
ment of class against class and capital
against labor, it has come to be regarded
about the right thing to "go for the rail
roads" right or wrong, and show them no
appreciation whatever. = Hudson Star

BLOWING UP OF THE MAINE.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lees Theory of the
 Destruction of the Vessel.

Indianapolis Journal. ,.
 In his interesting address in this city Monday evening Gen. Fitzhugh Lee gave his theory regarding the destrucuon ot the battleship Maine. After relating the circumstances of the explosion ana oe- scribing the scene of nre ana s.,, Garnss s sw mv minutes after the event. he saio:
 My theory is that 1t was done py young officers who had been attacneo to weyier. After the eatastropneM M sneg ;snan- al1- ish) army did not take the trouble 70 hide their pleasure over the norflole ar fair. Many of them dropped their usual potations of red wine ana openSa posnSs snSs ernment of Cuba immediately tried to forestall European opinion by sending dispatch which stated that the explosion had been caused by the the caTelesohS so that T | want to say that the keys to the mag azine of every American man-of.war are brought to the captain and are hung on hooks at the head , of hiy pea ee tbs snth tie ae When the divers went to work on tne Maine Captain Sigsbv said to them: 60 into my cabin and see If the keys to the maxazine are hanging where they ougnt keys. Thev had found them hanging by the side of the Captain's bed. Further. more the invesuRation brought out that were bent upward. showing clearly that the force of the explosion had been di- rected from the bottom. The court of inquiry heard plenty cf testimony which showed that there had been two explo. eions: one when the torpedo went of and tore its way to the ships magazine. and the other when the. magazine itself ex- Dloded with a roar"
 The real cause of the destruction of the Maine is still a mystery, though there is strong reason for accepting General Lees view. The report of the United States court of naval inquiry sustained the theory of an outside explosion. but said 'the court has been unable to ob- tain any evidence fixing the responsibil- ity for the destruction of the Maine upon any person or persons" The solution of such mysteries comes in time. and prob ably this one will be solved when those who are in possession of the secret think the right time has come.
