OPPORTuNJTV
How II Is Done.

Under the above caption the En-
terprise gives an account of the swind-
ling games carried on at the Van
Amburg circus that showed in War
saw last Tuesday. Innocent people
lost in sums from one dollar to fifty
dollars. sBut the climax was reach
ed" says the Enterprise. when
respectableLcitizen was robbed of
1915" Here is the account:
"There was a seller of humbug
electric belts which were represented
to be worth $50. An offer was finally
made to give two of the belts to two
persons financially responsible, who
together would show 500. An &C
complete said he would raise S325 or
more and the belt seller called for
another man of money. An old citi-
zen said he would hunt up the bal
ance of the 500, which he did by
drawing on his deposit in the bank.
The accomplice than handed his 1925
to the belt man to be counted and
had it returned to him. The citizen
then passed up his 1915 to be count
ed and the belt man disappeared in
the crowd and could not be found.
Attorneys Lay and Owen were en-
ployed and after an interview with
the manager of the show this official,
while disclaiming responsibility for
the stealing, and in order to avoid le-
gal complications, gave the citizen
5000.
At Cole Camp the following day
Deputy Marshal Maybray made an
attempt to arrest shell game artist
and shot an accomplice through the
mouth, the ball breaking off two
teeth and lodging back of the right
ear. The show packed up that eve
ming and left town, not remaining to
give the night performance.
AS the train pulled into Sedalia a
circus train man fell from a car and
was killed-the last act of "a bad
showing of Benton county trip

Swiftly Appreciated.

John Hill, who it appears had been
in the employ of Pearl Gill, finding
himself in need of new hat and 9th
er articles, and not having the where
with to purchase, evolved a scheme
Thursday which worked out, and
worked him into Jail. He forged
Pearl ellis name to check for 5000,
bought some articles at Lundblade &
Bolinger's, passed the check on them
and then took No. five for the west
While waiting for the train. Frank
Dell, who was at the depot, as was also
Sheriff Bunting, made the remark
to Bunting that that was the guy
who was in his place that day looking
for a blank check, and that as he had
on new hat he had probably found
it. This led to an investigation, and
on wiring ahead he was apprehended
and the sheriff will go after him this
evening.

If sleeping. wake; if feasting rise before
turn away. 1t is the hour of Fate.
And they who follow me reach every state

Save Death: but those who doubt or hesitate
Condemned to failure penury and Woe
Seek me in vain and useless1y imp1ore-
answer not, and return more.

Is it Possible

Can we cut piano prices nearly In
two?
And by doing SO can we sell seven
pianos and several organs by Saturday
night?
Here's the proposition: We had a
man out in the surrounding territory
who had mania for placing pianos
in peoples houses on trial, but was a
poor hand at selling them afterwards.
We have gathered all these pianos up
In this way; although none have been
used over year.
All of them are as good as new ex-
cept for a mar or two.
Now, you know. and we know. that
a great deal of labor and expense
would have to be given in order to put
them in perfect condition and ship
them to our Portland store for sale.
Even then we could not get regular
prices, as we would. in common honesty
have to say they had been used.
We have decided. as the best way
out, to give Lewiston people an oppor-
tunity to secure one at not less than
cost and at very little mbore. The
stock comprises the Kingsbury. Hamil-
ton, Smith 4 Barnes pianos. and Estev.
Mason q Hamlin. Story 4 Clark organs
Some Of he organe are new. and none
have been exchanged for. All Of the
pianos are on our books ~ new stock:
never q scratch u . pen for any one
Of them. nor cent paid on any one.
Now We are determined not to have
| Z single Organ LETT by Saturday night.
We cut the prices enough to sell
THEM.
And In regard to the pianos, will ship
out all unsold instruments after Satur-
day night SIS
No exchanges made. Nothing less
than SO per month on piano and 81
on an organ.
This Is your opportunity. II you
have a piece of ready money or can
give a good note. and can make ny
your mind by Saturday night.

HOME TEAM SHUT
OUT MANSFIELD

team played baseball like the team
last year did-the team that
nothing in the Ohio Valley had
anything that could defeat them.
Poor Mansfield looked like thirty
cents with two holes in it. Our
home boys started off in the first
inning with 2 runs to their credit,
and when the game was over they
had 1S runs to Mansfield 0. 1t
was a shame, a measley shame, to
beat those Mansfield boys so bad
ly, but it really could not be avoid
ed. Our boys tried to play the old
Parkersburg style, but it won't
90 here at all. The vigOr, push
and energy is in the wind, and it
can move anything on earth ex-
cept a Parkersburg baseball team.
The same teams are playing this
afternoon, and next week we will
90 up against the crack Ports
mouth, the team that cleaned us
up last year. The score yesterday
was as follows:
Sistersville. 2 90 3 l . 6 lis
Mansfield. 0 00 0 0 Q 0 o. 0
