Kimball Piano Company Makes
1t Easy For Prospective
Piano Purchasers
DON'T NEED MUCH MONEY.
Monthly Payments on Cut Prices Are
Made at Almost Any Amount to Suit
Observation-Disclosures Nichols Says
the Sale Is a Hummer.

The surprise that has been greater
than the prices they are giving on
their pianos, organs and piano players
is the easy terms the Kimball Piano
Company is making on its instruments
during the special closing out sale they
are making.
A lady came in this morning from
the country near Liscornb. She wanted
to buy piano. She expected to buy
an instrument that ordinarily retails
for $3.50 or $500. When she went home
this afternoon she had given her order
for one of the best instruments handled
by the Kimball company. In talking
with a friend she said: II didn't have
enough money to buy first class in-
strument, but when they offered to sell
me this instrument. taking the pay
lnent could make now reasonable
payment monthly. quickly made up
my mind that was being offered a
great bargain. will have the instru-
ment paid for in ten months and then
will have better instrument than ever
has been brought into our neighbour
hood. But that is not the best OF 1t.
will, at the end, have paid almost 800
less than did our neighbor for an in
strument / consider greatly inferior to
the one / bought today.
| When the Kinball company decided
| to close out the stock here, they at the
same time decided to give the one
without ready money the same Oppor-
tunity they would give the cash GUS
toner The result is that with a small
cash payment and monthly payments
of SIS and up any one can buy as
cheaply as the fell who has the
spot cash.
The managers have decided that the
store shall be open evenings all this
week, if the instruments last that long.
During that time there will be concerts
each evening by expert pianists. The
large crowd that attended the concert
Friday and Saturday evenings was an
evidence of the appreciation the peo-
pie have for good music
Manager Nichols said this morning
while he had managed several closing
out sales. where the local firm had fall
| ed to do the business like this case, he
had never managed one where people
seemed so eager to 'get next" to take
the instruments without quibbling.
He said he would not be surprised to
have everything closed out by the end
of the present week.

Revival at Laurel.

The first revival conducted by the
new district evangelist, Rev. G. M.
Van Marter, in the Marshalltown dis
trict, is now about to be brought to a
close at Laurel and is proving great
success. Business men are being
reached, seven or eight OF whom have
been converted. A class of fifteen
adults were received on probation
Sunday evening by the pastor and so
intense is the interest that it seemed
imperative to leave the evangelist for
three nights longer before going to
Montour to begin another meeting.
Presiding Elder Pitner will go to Mon
tour and assist Rev. Mark Masters, the
pastor, for three nights, until the evan
gelist arrives.
Rev. Van Marter is proving himself
to be a strong preacherd, thoroughly
evangelical. intensely in earnest. very
tactful and exceedingly convincing in
his preaching, at the same time not
stirring up agonisms, but leaving
splendid feeling. The pastor, Rev,
Gallagher, who is greatly beloved by
his church and citizens generally, will
continue the meetings after the evan
gelist. Rev. Pitner, leaves.
Rev. Pitner spent Sunday at Lau-
rel administering the communion and
looking after the finances for the
evangelist, securing SAB. The presid-
ing elder has watched with much
eagerness this first effort in the dis
trict evangelist scheme. and is great
ly reioiced over the outcome. The sue
sess at, Laurel will encourage the
smaller charges and their pastors,
where the evangelist Is to work, and
will reassure the grantors Of the guar
antee fund.
The scheme, which is original with
DR.. Pitner, Is no longer an experiment,
but will solve the problem OF the weak
er charges.

Second streets have been in use six

ing, was found wandering on Heritage
street, near the Farmers warehouse,

which. though not serious had caused
a great loss of blood. Bunting was
very much under the influence of Ii
quor, and nothing definite could be
learned about the cutting further
than that "a niger done it," as Bunt-
ing put it.
He was taken to a physician and
after the wound was seWed up he
was detained till this morning To re-
cover from his debauch, and was re-
leased and returned to Dover, where
he says he has a contract for getting
out cedar timber for somebody.
