Rebuilt Pianos of Well-KnoWn
Makes.

Some of the most charming pianos,
and certainly some of the most wonder
fully reasonable in price, are to be
found in the big Exchange Department
in Lyon & Healy's. Here you find
celebrated pianos, such as the Stein
way, Weber, Krakauer, HaZelton,
Washburn, Sterling Burlington, etc,
that has been traded in for other nstru-
ments. In many cases these uprights
have been exchanged for grand pianos.
Ordinarily the pianos are sold in the
condition received, but in Lyon &
Healy's the little things one does not
like about a piano which stamp it
several years old, are changed in their
own factories. So these pianos are
brought right down to date in tone,
action and general appearance. Every
trace of use is removed from their cases
and altogether they are made sub
stantially as perfect as the day they
left the markets hands. These rebuilt
pianos give great satisfaction.
If you would like a good piano at
about half price write to Lyon & Healy

The gospel of happiness is one that
every woman should lay to heart. What
it means to man to come home at
night to a cheerful wife no one but he
VINO has had to fight the hard battle of
life knows. If he is prosperous it is an
added joy, but it is in misfortune that it
shines like a star ia the darkness. A
complaining wife can kill the last bit of
hope and courage in a sorely troubled
heart, while cheerful one gives new
courage to begin the fight over again.

An election will he held in Decatur
county Nov. 9TH to decide the question
of voting tax of $4,000 to build a
new court house at Leon. This will
be the third election held on that prop
osition, the vote in the two previous
elections having been adverse to the
proposition. Very few citizens of that
county deny the need of new court
house, but the jealousy and rivalry Of
the several other towns of the county
will be a factor in opposition to the
proposal because Leon will be Incl
dentally benefited by building new
court house at that town. The senti
ment in the southeast corner Of thu
county, however, seems to be favor
able to a new court house, and thos
in position to be well posted over tn
county believe that there is goo
prospect of the proposition arrying.-

DEMERS
FOUND
NOT GUILTY

The third and last OF the James A. VIII
Hams prosecutions for alleged violation
OF the law in connection with the recent
state election was disposed Of at Warwick
yesterday. and, like the others. 1t ended
In the discharge Of the accused.
Edmund Demers. the proprietor of an
Apponaug restaurant was alleged to have
purchased the vote Of Gaulbert Teller for
50. He was defended by Col Frank w.
Tillinghast
He was bought TO trial in the Fourth
judicial district court before Clerk Loomis
Tellicr's evidence was that he hung
about the polling place in District at
Centrevile until the afternoon of election
day when he was approached by Felix
Herbert. who suggested that Tellier's ball
lot be marked for him.
Teller objected TO this and Demors said
that he would do no business with the
witness.
Upon his representation that he would
vote all right he went To the polls, cast
his ballot and then went to ride with
Demers who gavc him 81 bill
The bill was marked in the presence of
John n. Archambault and was placed i'm a
scaled envelope.
Archambault told about the marking OF
the s. bill and OF seeing Teller with
DcmcrS.
Two other witnesses were called for the
prosecution but they could not recollect
seeing Teller in company with Demers
on election day
Demcrs testified that he was employed
on election day by the town Republican
party managers To drive voters To- and
from the polls.
Teller had asked FOR q ride and was
accommodated lie not only did not give
Teller money, but he had no money that
day To give 10 anybody
The Herbert episode. he declared. was
pure fiction.
The court criticised the woruing of the
warrant and said that the prosecution had
failed 10 present any evidence that an
election had been held on the day Of the
alleged legal act.
Not relying upon that fatal omission
OF proof the court decided that upon tho
testimony there was nothing for which
no could hold the respondent and he
therefore ordered that he be discharged
