ONLY ONE CLUB.

This being, az we have stated, an &C.
commodation club, ogranized for the
purpose of accommodating the many
persons who applied for membership in
our former ones after it was too late to
secure a piano, we shall have but this
one club, so all those desiring to take
advantage of this rare opportunity had
better make application at once. We
will take especial pains during this sale
to sec that inquiries reaching us
through the mail or by telephone re-
ceive immediate attention, in order to
give out-of-town buyers every advantage
in securing membership. All instru-
ments handled by US are fully guaran-
teed. Money back if not satisfactory.

STILL ANOTHER
PIANO CLUB.
Good Pianos at Wholesale Prices and
ON Terms Equal to Small Plano
Rent-EiIerS Piano House Has
Organized Another Coop
erative Club - Terms
So Down and So
Monthly.

Having received another large ship
ment OF fine pinaos, we are now able to
accede to the numerous applications we
have received from persons desiring to
purchase pianos on the cooperative
club plan, which was so popular some
time ago. This plan, owing to the ex.
ceedingly low prices and easy terms it
offered. created such a sensation and
widespread discussion at the time it
was originally inaugurated, that further
explanation seems unnecessary. Many
maintained then that it was simply i'm
possible for US to sell such fine pianos
at the prices asked. Investigation,
however, proved the absolute truth of
every one of our statements, and our
clubs became 80 immensely popular
that in five weeks We had member
ship of four hundred. Three delivery
teams and six men could not deliver
the pianos fast enough to buyers. The
present club is organized upon the same
principle as the former ones, which is
the wholesale principle applied to re-
tail buyers, who join club of 100, the
club standing in the same relation to
US that a wholesale purchaser or large
dealer does.
The pianos are the finest, high grade,
brand new regular $3.50 instruments,
and will go to members of this new
olub-"F"-at 1857, $196 and $237,
according TO works, style and design.
There are no dues, no extras, nor any
liability on the part of members for
any possible failure or shortcoming on
the part of the others or any of them.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Sept. 3.-Today's volume Of
dealings was not greatly below those Of
yesterday. but the dearth of interest in
the market and the dead level of dizziness
were more pronounced than at any time
heretofore. Yesterdays upward move
ment of prices was pretty promptly halt
ed after the market got started and there
was quite liberal profit taking by yes
terday's buyers. The decline was not far
extended and only a few of the principal
active stocks were depressed as much as
a point: The principal event OF the day
in the financial world was the advance in
the Bank of England discount rate by q
full per cent, from 8 to pei. cent. The
advance is not unusual in the fall months
but is generally delayed later than this
The London market was decidedly de-
pressed in consequence of the advance in
the rate the price of consols falling low
err than during the Boer war. The de-
preston reflected in New York from that
source. however, was but slight and sales
for London account We're small. The
market became practically stagnant late
in the day and closed heavy about the
low level The bond market was very dull
and irregular. Total sales, par value,
81 060, 900.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Nobody is modest enough not to be
vain about it.
The way not to quarrel with your
wife is not to have one.
A woman can learn to love most any
man if he jingles loud enough.
Usually a woman drives a horse as
naturally as a man sews on buttons.
A rule that works both ways Is that
men marry to give up their liberty and
girls marry to get theirs.
When q man thinks he knows how to
buy horse it is time for his family to
consult a specialist about him.
Generally man can count up those
who do not like him by counting up
those to whom he has lent money.
When you catch a woman brushing
out her switch she acts as If she had
found something strange in her bureau
drawer and was trying to find out what
it was. Isl
A stout woman is always sure she
has grown suddenly thinner when the
button gives way, and she feels more
comfortable for a second just before
she discovers the horrible truth of what
is going to happen.-New York-Press.

osden's National Irrigation Congress.

The question of irrigation for the re-
claiming of the country's semi-arld
lands, looms big against the nation $
future. The almost marvellous results
thus far attained by judicious stor-
ing and distribution of water supplies,
is strong evidence of the practical
value of this work, and what may rea-
sonably be looked for from it's further
extension.
| The eleventh national irrigation con-
vention which will assemble at Ogden,
Utah, on the 18th of this month, and
, which will remain in session three
, days, promises to be notable assem-
bly,. 1t will demonstrate by it's record
of the results already attained, how
much it is possible to accomplish in
forestry. agriculture and horticulture,
by practical methods of irrigation.
President Roosevelt, who is known to
have a deep personal interest in this
phase of national development, will be
! represented at the convention by Sec
rotary Wilson OF his cabinet.
The press of the country will be
represented by a large party of its
! most distinguished workers which will
leave Washington by special private
car, and arrive in Ogden September
18th.
A number of addresses by dis
tinguished men are down on the pro-
gram. Conspicuous among them will
be an address by Commander Frederick
Booth Tucker, the national leader of
the Salvation Army, who will con-
slider the work of retaining semi
arid lands as it applies to the general
question of colonization.
Extensive preparations have been
made for the entertainment of those
who attend the convention, which it is
needless to say will be carried out with
true Western hospitality.
The convention and it's work will be
watched with very general interest.
The American people have long ago
learned that what helps build up any
section Of the country contributes to
the prosperity of the whole country.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1903-09-04

Some of the impatient editors are
urging President Roosevelt to give up
the idea of q Panama canal, since
Colombia has seen ft to act so foolish
ly in the matter. and open canal
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Eica. He will not be hurried by such
appclls. The authorities have decided
upon Panama as the better course,
many hold it the only practical course.
and this government is not yet ready
to believe that business cannot be
done with the gathering of statesmen
ut Bcgota. 1t will be folly to be in
haste and take the less desirable route
if with a little more patience and
diplomacy the better route may be
secured. Panama may throw off the
Colombian yoke, any of these days, and
that would greatly simplify the situ-
alton.

Secretary Shaw and the Treasury
Reserve,

Confidence in the stability Of the
rest upon a currency sufficiently elastic
to meet the varying needs of the coun-
try, is based now upon the greater
ability of the West to provide the cur
rency necessary for moving the crops,
and the fact that Secretary Shaw has
at his disposal an extra reserve of
$40, 0OO, COO which will be so deposited as
to meet whatever pressing currency
needs may be developed during the
crop moving period.
This fund was doubtless accumulated
with a view to meeting payments on
the Panama canal; but the failure of
the Colombian congress to ratify the
treaty renders the whole amount avail
able for the relief of currency strin-
gency at all important points.
Already the knowledge of the avail
ability of this fund has had a quieting
effect in financial circles. .,s
While the claim of the West that it
has money enough this year to move
its own crops without eastern assist
ance. may be attributed in part to the
spirit of boastfulness still prevalent to
some extent, it is undoubtedly, true
that the western banks have more
money at their disposal than ever be-
fore in their history, and that the call
| for eastern capital will not be nearly
as great as has been the case in years
past.
| AS result the chances are that the
condition of the money market will
show steady improvement from this
time forward

Tom L. johnson.

ARENAS Ward declared the
Kangaroo to be an "amoosin little
cuss" Tom L. Johnson Of Ohio is
very much like the Kangaroo, except
that he is not little. Despite his
avoirdupois he has few equals as long
distance political jumper. His antics,
whether carrying on circus tent
campaign, or posing as the idol of the
people are certainly "amoosin" enough
to quite satisfy the ordinary sense of
humor.
Not long ago, Mr.. Johnson was play
ing a part of studied Indifference. He
did not want the gubernatorial nominal
ton in his state.
Oh dear, no-still he recognized the
possible contingency, that the impera-
tive voice of the convention, might
force him to sacrifice his purely per-
sonal wishes, and become the head of
the Democratic ticket. 1t was to be a
spectacular and impressive submission
to the call of duty. The conditions
that developed prior to the holding Of
! the Democratic State convention forced
Mr.. Johnson to abandon this roll.
| From having the convention force him
| to accept. he was put to the painful
| necessity of forcing the convention to
accept him. This was certainly some
what disconcerting and it is not to be
| wondered at that most of the red
lights and sky-rockets provided for
the occasion, were reluctantly but wisely
| laid away for use later in the
| campaign.
Mr.. Johnson will go into the Ohio
| Canvass weakened by dissentions in his
| own party that did not exist when
John r. Mclean was its gubernatorial
| standard bearer. Under the circum-
| stances he can scarcely be expected to
| make so good a showing on election
| day.
