we purchased same, we did not think
any piano would stand the hard use
for more than two years and fully
expected to purchase a new one at the
expiration Of that time. After four
years of hard use and nine hours
day for five days per week and thir-
teen hours on Saturdays, we find the
above mentioned piano as good as new.
Furthermore, these years of playing
was done mostly by gentlemen, and
1t is considered that they are very
much harder on a piano than ladies.
We cheerfully recommend the Wesley
piano to anyone wanting thoroughly

Kratz was again arrested October
30, 1908.
While this treaty was being ar
ranged, Mr.. Folk made several trips
to Washington and held confer
ences with President Roosevelt and
Attorney General Knox with refer
ence to the treaty.
Krstz before his arrest in October
had become one OF the business men
OF Guadalajara and had invested
thousands of dollars in mines in that
city and near there.
He was treated with the utmost
courtesy by the police and given ev.

ton and the fight was carried to
President Diaz, who decided against
him.
January IL, 1904, he arrived in st.
Louis, regarding himself as the great.
est man in the United States, and
measuring his Importance by the
length Of the columns OF matter
printed about him the newspapers OF
st. Louis. He was able to give bond
for $40, 900 and was not locked up.
Ex- Mayor Zeigenhein, under whose
administration Kratz was a member
OF the Council, was one OF those who
signed the bond, and Gottlieb Eyer
man, Jr., who paid the previous
bond for $4,000 we're among those
who signed the bond.
After gaining his liberty, Kratz
was the guest of a champaign dinner
given by his former associates. His
family soon followed him to st. Louis
and went to their former home on
Ohio avenue.
After the change Of venue had been
granted to Bates county at a three
days hearing, Kratz returned to
Guadalajara to look after bis bust.
ness interests.
He returned to st. Louis about
