SQUARE PIANOS
SPLIT IN TWO
Elegant Old Squares for Al
most Nothing
A Splendid Chance for People
with Permanent Homes, and
Also for Schools. Studios and
Sunday Schools.

They are little out Of date, but Still
fine. Although it is long time since
sqnare pianos were manufactured, thou
s,nds of the rare old instruments have
remained in use during ! these years
giving entire satisfaction.
They are continually drifting to our
store taken by us in part payment for
grand or upright pianos for people who
have built fine new homes. or else have
moved into town where limited floor
space has made it more convenient to
have an upright piano.
There is great accumulation of these
square pianos at orr store now. They
are not fashionable instruments, but
they possess tie essential of good
piano-reliab e tone.
They have all been overhauled, clean
ed and polished, so that they are really
very handsome and will proye great
satisfaction in families who own their
own homes. especially if there are chill
dren who take music lessons and do a
great deal of practicing.
We must get them off our hands
The space is badly needed for our Fall
shipments of elegant new instruments
now arriving, and we are therefore offer
ing them at these little prices:
Boardman, 800; Pearson, $50; Hallet
& D Wis, $685. Lynch in very pretty
rosewood case, $45, splendid bargain
for the price; an Eme, son tor $50; Col
lard & CoIlard-this ls an English make
and good one, $55; Guild in splendid
condition, light rosewood case, 500; an
other Halet & Davis for $65, and a
Gadier for the same price, only $65
Jacob Zech, $50; Steinway, $50; Kim
ball IN dark rosewood, 800; Decker. al,
so very fine, 800
These are all small prices The out.

worth. A small sum down and as little
as $3 to $6 a month finish buying one.

violent Death Was Predicted.

Eight years ago, in writing a
horoscope of Seymour Swauger,
who met such a horrible death
under the wheels Of an o. r. & n.
train near Bingham Springs Satur-
day morning, DIR. G. T. Taylor, of
KameIa, predicted that Swauge,
would meet with q violent death
before he was 80 years of age.
Taylor was an O. K. & N. agent at
Kamela for nine years, and was an
astrologer of more than local repu-
tat;on, and wrote horoscopes for
nearly everybody on the Blue
mountains. From the study of
Swauger's stars and from the
date and time of his birth, Taylor
said that be was sure to meet such
death and that it would come
before the man had reached 5O
years of age. Swauger took the
matter as an idle fancy and often
spoke of if; but it is said that on
the strength of this horoscope he
took out $4,000 life insurance and
kept it paid up regularly until the
time of his death. -Dalles Chron-

Natural Gas In England.

Natural gas, 10 which England was
generally supposed to be deficient, has
been discovered there by Americans
and put to practical uses. The English
people have not yet fully realized the
many advantages it hes over coal and
are therefore slow in dopting it. This
is also the experience OF many persons
in our own country in regard to med'-

ROOSEVELT TRIUMPHANT.

The most phenomenal political
victory ever achieved in this coun-
try was that of the Republican
party, led by that magnificent cit
izen and statesman, Theodore
Roosevelt. Parker is now SO low
ly that there is none SO poor as to
do him reverence. Co-iucident
with the magnificent endorsement
of Republican principles in the
United States is the utter anDlhll-
alton Of the Democratic party.
AS a local Democrat observed, ''it
has gone up in balloon.' There
is no occasion FOR tears over the
demise Of the Republican party's
ancient rival. In recent history
it has stood for nothing but OBJ
structioD, eliminating in 1904 to
as nearly a copy of Republican
principles as it could and yet leave
room for fault finding and objec
ton. The only real interest at
tached to the campaign just past
is the development of the Socialist
vote, a party which cannot at least
be charged with being namby-
pamby, for their principles are
ultra-radical and revolutionary.
Just previous to his death Mark
Hanna said that the next great
battle of the Republican party
would be waged against the Social
lists.
In the consciousness Of present
great numerical strength the Re-
publican party can afford to be
tolerant Of all opposing opinion,
giving it chance to be hphrd, and
overcoming il, as is our won't, by
sheer force of logic. In fact this
is the better way. The election
lust past illustrates anew that the
masses Of our people ale lntelll-
gent and patriotic above any ccun-
try on earth and that they may be
depended upon to endorse rational
ideas, conservative methods aud
gradual advancement to a high
plane of national prosperity. All
revolutionary forces, therefore,
whether Anarchistic or its oppo-
site, Socialistic, may best bs sub
dued by dispassionate reasoning.
We should point out the better
way, relying upon our historic
achievements of the pAst for con-
firmation, and then may We con-
tidently trust that the ballot OF
free people will always be potent
enough to keep US as a nation
from advancing along dangerous
and untried paths.

CpwHoy,S SsATELE with
STlER.
Thrilling Event Fakes Place BE-
fore a large crowd at Cheyenne.

The great event at Cheyenne
this wear was the remarkable feat
of Will Pickett, negro halllng
from Taylor, Texas, who gave his
exhibition while 10000 people
watched with wonder and admira-
ton mere man, unarmed and
without a device or appliance of
any kind, attack fiery, wild-eyed
and powerful steer. and throw it
by his teeth. With the aid of a
helper, Pickett chased the steer
until he was in front of the grand
stand. Then he jumped from the
saddle and landed on the back of
the animal, grasped its horns, and
brought it to a stop within a
dozen feet. With remarkable
display of strength he twisted the
steers head until its nose pointed
straight into the air, the animal
believing with pain and It's tongue
protrndipg in its effort to secure
air. Again and again the negro
was jerked from his feet and toss
ed into the air, but his grip on the
horns never once loosened, and the
steer failed in its efforts to gore
him. Cowboys with their lariats
rushed to Pickett's assistance, but
the action Of the combat was too
rapid for them. B4foee hel p could
be gwen, Pickett, who had forced
the steers nose into the mnd and
shut off it's wind, slipped, and was
tossed aside like a piece Of paper.
There was scattering of cowboy S
as he jumped to his feet and ran
for his horse. Taking the saddle
without touching the stirrup, he
ran the steer to a point opposite
the judges stand, again jumped on
it's back, and threw it. Twice was
the negro lifted from his feet but
he held on with the tenacity OF a
bulldog. Suddenly Pickett drop
ped the steers head and grasped
the upper lip of the animal with
his teeth, threw his arms wide
apart, to show that he was not u.s.
ing his hands, and sank slowly up
on his back. The steer lost it's
footing and rolled upon its back,
completely covering the negro's
body with it's own. The crowd
was speechless with horror, many
believing that the negro had been
crushed but a second later the
steer rolled to it's other side, and
Pickett arose uninjured, bOwing
and smiling John Dicks Howe,

The PrOclaimer may believe 1T
is lucky that boy can commence
his struggle for existence at the
age of 10, but the Gazette believes
it would be far better if he went
to school. There are plenty OF
men who would be glad to do the
boys work, while the boy would
be better fitted for his duty as a
sovereign citizen when he reaches
mans estate if he knew how to
read and write; if his mind were
not dwarfed during its most
plastic state; if his energies were
not drained when he should be en-
Ijoying the innocent pleasures OF
childhood. If we develop stage
when it is an achievement to
brag of for a child to do mans
work, and a model for all other
children to follow, the public
school becomes correspondingly a
drag upon human interests, to be
discouraged by the new ambition
of adjusting the work harness up
on children so as to fit their little
shoulders and tender limbs
Surely the Proclaimer penned
that item hurriedly. Let us not
rob childhood Of It's innocent
pleasures aud its time to develop
for the sake Of q sordid CONNER
cialism already gone mad. Let US
not invade the period of infancy at
least to make work animals of
human beings before they are
developed for such exertlons.
There is a decent time for all
things. Let youth have it's fling.

SATURDAY NIGHTS SPEAk KING
A Quiet Ending to the quotes
Campaign in Our History.

Judge J. f. Nagers, OF Portland, and
Hon. J. P. Winter, of Pend eton, made
the ouly campaign speeches of the sea-
son at the opera houae Saturday night.
The hall was filed by ladies and gent e.
men who gave excellent attention and
were rewarded by some invlnclble logic
that of the two the Republican party is
the proper party for the American peo-
pie to continue in power.
Mr.. Winter covered the tariff issue in
a searching manner, proving by aigu-
ment and supporting by historic fact
that ! of our periods Of hish prosper
itv were during the periods Of high pro-
tective tariff and that ali of our periods
of great denreesion-no less than five
were during free trade periods. Mr..
Winter urged fhl vote, regardless Of
party, being possessed of becoming
civic pride in his state.
JudLe Mayors made the principal
address of the evening. 1t was not long
before the audience became aware that

affairs He understands the reasons
why party policies lead to certain re-
suits, and he is fortified by an accurate
knowledge of those results as they have
developed. He showed that the Re-
publican party is party who does
things, a live party, and patty abreast
of the times as opportunities demand
action. Not forgetting to credit the party
with it's gloriou. achievements of the
past, be cited what the party is doing
today, some of these being telephone

prophesied that our future markets
must be in the Orient and looked for a
glorious deve opment OF the Pacific
Coast. Not a word OF Judge Mager's
interesting address, covering perhaps
an hour, was lost by the audience.
There was little cheering. but unusual
attention, which goes TO show that our
people are emerging from careless and
purely partisan citizenship 10 a body OF
thinkers and reasontrs. The Gazette
welcomes the change, and believes that
in the passing # the tOrchlight process

Doors and Not Hearers Only.

Seeing the great principles Of right
living is one thing; doing the simple
duty Of the hour in accordance with the
known principle is another. Seeing is
not doing; and seeing without doing,
when doing is duty, fearfully weakens
the moral fiber. How many Of us, with
swelling hearts and exalted determine
ton, have set an alarm clock at night
to arouse us at the right time, and have
gone peacefully to sleep again, in the
drowsy morning hours, when the bell
had ceased ringing! Thus in hundred
ways we disappoint our perceptions and
break down our wills, and yet we won

CARING FOR WOUNDED
HOSPITAL ARRANGEMENTS or
RUSSIANS AND JAPANESE.
Both Are Striving to Alleviate the suf-
ferings Of the Soldiers at the
Eront-Interest Of
Royalty.

Even those who most lament the
good old times" are bound to admit
that as regards sanitary science. and
especially all that concerns surgery and
the ambulance service generally. an
amazing change for the better has
taken place even during the last 80
years.
Thanks in measure to the admira-
bly, organized International Red Cross
societies, both the Japanese and Rus
sian wounded may look to be splendid
ly cared for, and the fortunate Japs
will have the highly trained aid Of
large contingent of American nurses
and doctors; while Admiral Sir S. Cy-
prian Bridges has offered the use OF
the British naval hospital at Yoko-
hama to the Japanese minister of ma
rine.
The Japanese people are showing exc
traordinary interest in this humane
side of war. Enormous sums are being
freely subscribed to the various ambu-
lance funds, and "the Empress of the
Spring is busying herself with the
preparations which are still being ac-
lively carried forward in connection
with the base hospitals. Her Japanese
majesty, Harru Ko, long before there
was any thought Of war, used to visit
regularly the Women and Children's
hospital in Toxic, and from time to
time the other houses of healing.
Japanese doctors are noted for their
skill in surgery, and many Of those
who are now at the front studied in
the great American medical schools. as

True self-Mastery,

Mastery of ones work comes through
mastery of ones self. Laggard inclina-

in the face of known duty, need the re-

man is master Of himself who thinks
he is his own master. Every indwell-

burning determination, every urgent
demand upon self for service, ought to
get it's vigor and temper from that
command of self which is the utter
yielding of self to Gods will. Only here

great ally.
The prime mover in all Russia's arr
bulance work and Red Cross societies
is the Grand Duchess Vladimir, who at
her own expense is organizing and
equipping hospital train. Her inn
perial highness is an excellent organ
izer, and the state rooms Of her palace
are now daily filled with members Of
Russian society, who work hard from
one p m. till II o'clock. There, in
these splendid apartments, where little
