Open Evenings.

If you are contemplating the pur-
chase of Piano, Organ or Piano
Player within the next few months
and have not seen the bargains we
have to offer, you are missing an OPP
portunity you may never have again to
get fine high grade instrument at so
low price.
This sale will positively close Thurs
day night, October 81, and from pres
ent indications there will not be an
unsold instrument left on the floor.
A great many pianos, organs and
piano players have already been sold
and delivered. A few have been pur-
chased and set aside to be sent out
later.
Several customers who thought they
could not afford to buy now or who
were not quite ready, found upon in
vestigation of the extremely low
prices and easy terms, that it was
better to sacrifice on something else
and take advantage of this exceptional
opportunity.
You may think you cannot afford to
buy just now. or possibly you are not
quite ready, but do not let that deter
you from investigating this sale and
inspecting the bargains we have to
offer. After you have seen them you
may find it to your advantage to con-
slider a proposition now.
There is not a cheap or inferior
piano in the stock. Nearly all new
instruments, manufacturers samples,

MARKING TIME.
People Only Waiting for Chance to
Elect Roosevelt.

New York, Oct 24.-The Sun sizes
up the political situation as follows:
Careful analyses by correspondents
show the political conditions in the
states of Connecticut. New Jersey,
West Virginia and Wisconsin, which at
the opening of the presidential com
paign were regarded by both parties as
doubtful. Twenty days before election
they can be placed in the Republican
column for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
without hesitation or the slightest APP
prehensiOn that the statement may
have to be revised In. Connecticut and
West Virginia the Democrats may pull
their state ticket through; in Wiscon-
sin and West Virginia they may gain
a congressman or two. The RepuDli-
can pluralities on the electoral ticket
are reasonably sure to be substantial
in all the five states, probably as large
as those received by Mckinley and
Roosevelt in 1900. .o+e
The Democratic presidential ticket
has steadily lost ground since Judge
Parker read his disappointing speech
from the Esopus veraHda. All the hopes
raised by his sensational gold telegram
were then dashed, and CONSERVATION
seized his party when it was seen that
his chosen associates iii the conduct of
the campaign were August Belmont,
whose name is a red rag to the Bryan
element OF the party. David B. Hin, to.
whom thercandidate owed all his 5HGilc-
ial honors and enlolu1nentsl and whose
very name is a rank offenSe to ClevEs-
land Democrats; and, aPatrick H. Nc
Carren, machine politician OF race
track reputation. The choice of Thorn
as TaggaEt for national chairman, whose
only claim to consideration was his skill
in manipulating the floating vote of In
diana, had already Allied observant
Democrats with diSInay. Taggart show
ed such gross incompetence for the I'M
dertal1ing that, first, August Belmont,
and then Senator A. P. German of
Maryland, were drafted to hold up his
hands and keep him in scountenance.
The nomination of the octogenarian,
Henry G. Davis, who had been politi-
cally dead for twenty years, was re-
gaFded even by partisans, and partic-
ularly by friends of the leading candl-
date as an inexcusable and grieVOus
blunder. To cap the climax of untoward
conditions, Judge Parker refused to
take the stump and wage the agrees
sive canvass which, in the judgment of
Democratic leaders in all parts of the
country, the emergency demanded.
Thus there was nothing for the nation
al committee to do but enter upon a
still hunt campaign. the effect of which
may be seen in the betting odds of to
l that Roosevelt and Fairbanks will be
elected. The people are marking time
until they can march to the polling
places and duly record their faith in
the policies of the Republican party
which assure them abiding prosperity.

WEST FURNISHES THE HEROES
DIR. Hills Tells the Brooklynites Some
Plain Truths.

New York, Oct. 24.-In a sermon on
the work of missionaries in this coun-
try during the last hundred years, the
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills in Ply
mouth church, Brooklyn, has declared
that the men of the west are the true
moulders of the nations destiny.
$50 accustomed are we to thinking
that Athens made Greece, that Rome
made Italy, that Paris made France,
/ that England is London" he said,
that we believe now that as New York
goes so goes the destiny of the United
States. But 1 say that as New York
goes SO does not go the destiny and his
tory of the United States. l do not
mean that New York has no influence.
but we in our self-Sufficiency have
come to over emphasize ourselves.
''The boy who is nourished in the
city, who all his life has breathed only
the tainted air of the city and has
been cranped by his surroundings has
no chance. It is the boy who has
been reared far from the completely
of city life that does things. Here a
man loses his individuality. The men
who will make themselves known forty
years hence are now husking corn in

are gorged to the point of gluttony.
| There is no pessimism beyond the
mountains, no talking down of the in
stitutions of this country. Those men

ism to oppose the pessimism Of you
men of New York. 1t is the west that

Special Envoy From Japan Coming to
United States.

Yokohama, Oct. 24-Lieutenant Cen
eral Prince Fushini, special imperial
envoy to the ST. Louis exposition, has
sailed with his suite the steamer

great enthusiasm. Prince FHushimi was
attended from Toxic by officials from
the imperial household, the American
minister, Lloyd c. Griscom, and the en-
tire American legation staff in uniform.
Arriving at Yokohama the prince and
his party proceeded to a detached i'm
perial palace, escorted by the COVER
nor of the province, the mayor of Yo-
kohama and city officials and by the
American consular officials.
Shortly afterward Prince Fushimi
embarked in the presence of an i'm
mense crowd amid shouts of "banazai"
and America"
Washington, Oct 24-It was stated
authoritatively today that the purpose
of the Emperor of Japan in sending on
a visit to this country his adopted
brother, his imperial highness Prince
Fushimi, who will reach San Francisco
about the middle of November, is to
strengthen by every appropriate means
the traditional friendship between the
United States and Japan.

PAY FOR PROMOTION.
Attempt to Hold Up Firemen of the
New York Force.

New York, Oct. 24.-Fire Commits
sioner Hayes has announced the dis
covery of plot to obtain from firemen
on the eligible list for promotion to
higher grades large sums Of money.
The commissioner was informed of the
matter through knowledge which came
to a priest in the performance of his
church duties.
One of the firemen on the eligible list
on the advice of the priest called upon
the commissioner and stated that a
man who is known to make a business
of lending money to city employees had
offered to secure the fireman immedi-
ate promotion by the use of $1,000. Ac-
cording to the fireman. the money LEM
der used the name of Commissioner
Mayes who was to figure in the trans
action. News of the plot aroused the
commissioners ire and he made a rigid
investigation during which, lie says, it
was learned at least two firemen had
been imposed upon by being led to be-
lieve they would at once be chosen
from the eligible list for promotion by
the use of money. 1t is likely the
whole matter will be placed before the
district attorney for further investiga-
ton.

A FOOTBALL FORECAST.

with apologies to Chicago Tribune.
Having noted the preliminaries OF
X. U.-Washburn football games for
the past few years. we feel qualified
to predict the following programme
for this week:
K. 1.-THE team is dispirited and
disorganized. Kennedy will try to
whip the men into shape, but it gives
him a headache TO think about it.
Washburn-The blue has given UP
all hope of beating K. L. There is to
be a sorority party the night before
the big game and all of the players
prefer dancing to victory over the red
and blue.
TUESDAY.
X. 1.-TWO of K. US star players
were taken to the hospital today.
Neither of them will be able to take
pected to win about 40 to o.
Washburn-Only eight men were
out to practice today. All the others
are sick or discouraged. Three differ
ent players dreamed K. L. would win
by 33 to o. This is considered a bad
omen.
WEDNESDAY.
+ K. 1.-THE man who was counted
on to make at least two touchdowns
against the blue Saturday will not be
able to play He has been "conned."
Kennedy announced positively that K.
L. would lose.
WaShDurn-t is now definitely
known that Outland's giants will be
defeated Saturday. The best players
are suffering as follows: Broken COL
lar-bone, strained igaments, fractured
rib, charley-horse, melancholy, nerv-
Gus prostration, insomnia, and flunks.
THURSDAY.
K. I'm the last hard practice the
scrubs scored eight touchdowns in
fifteen minutes on the varsity. 1t is
now the intention to put the scrubs
in against Washburn and keep the
score down as much as possible.
Washburn-There was a brief ray
of hope today. One of the players de-
veloped enough strength to stand
alone, but he is only one. Outland's
only thought now is holding K. U. to
less than so points
FRIDAY
X 1.-THE last ray of hope has fed.
washburn has found out the K u.
signals. and it is too late to learn a
new set.
Washburn-The plans for tomorrow
have all been made. Players who are
able to ride in amhulances will be
taken to Washburn field on swinging
cots. 1t is hoped eleven men can be
carried out to the field in this way.

The night before the battle met
III, He sang the splendor of the fray
Took heart against another day.
He sang the thunder-swfft attack,
The shock of shields, the overthrow:
The shout that roared the chorus back
Startled the camp fires of the foe.
The harp's hour passed. Dawn heard alone
The high heroic bugles cry;
But ere blade had crossed his own
The singer turned his horse. to fly.
They slew him as he fled the field:
But all day long the foe in vain
Shattered against our spearSmen steeled
With memory of his noble strain.
So half fell fouled into the snare,
And half sped splendid to the goal
What earthly tribute can declare
The doom of this divided soul?

for a disease germ that it cannot kill.
The reason is that germs are vegetables;
and LiQuozone-like an excess of oxy-
gen-is deadly to vegetaI matter.
There lies the great value of Liquo-
ozne. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs IN the body without killing the
tissue, too. Any drug that kills germs
is a poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Every physician knows that
medicine is almost helpless in any germ
disease.
