Anew Suggestions From the
Metropolitan Music Com
pany That Every Man
Should Consider
Women, Too, Will
Be Interested

Just a little heart to heart
talk about pianos.
Your wife has been want
ing a piano for a long time,
hasn't she?
And we have a lot of pianos
that we ezNUST SELL.
There's room in your home
for a piano, while we're in an
awful dilemma concerning
room for the pianos we have
on hand.
Let's get togetherl
Well make it easy for you
to own one of these fine
pianos. If you buy now it'll
cost you little more than half
what you'd ordinarily pay.
Here's our proposition:
You come here and pick
out any piano you want
they're all reduced in price,
from the cheapest to the best.
Pay us a little down or in
thirty days, then payments of
Sc, 81, So, $40 or more per
month.
Isn't it easy?
Suppose you pay So a
month; that's only $1.50 a
week-$8.00 a month would
mean less than thirty-hve
cents a day, and $40 per
month only amounts to a
fraction over Al cents a day.
Can't afford it, did you say?
Pshaw!
You spend moro money
than that in idle amusement
or dissipation.
Don't be selfish!
Make home happy!
A piano is the "open ses-
anne" of pleasure and refine
ment in the home.
We offer you a choice of
the Knabe, Fischer, Ludwig
Smith c. Barnes, Clarendon,
Packard and several other
makes at big reductions and
on the very easiest of terms.
And here's another thing to
consider:
Christmas - you spend
some money then. Do it
now!
Wouldn't your whole fam
lily appreciate a piano far more
than a few little gifts to each
member?
Certainly!
Come in and talk pianos to-
day.
You don't necessarily have
to buy a piano because you
come.
But come and talk this
matter over with US.
We're in a position to save
you money.
$3.50 Pianos at $l68.
$500 Fianos at $237.
cAll Others at tempting re-
ductions.

Was the One Held in the
City Hall Thursday Ey-
ening, Sept. Dist.
Mayor, Police Judge and Six Can
pilates for City Council

AS announced in the Courier last
week meeting was held in the
City Hall on Thursday evening
21st. for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the offices OF mayor,
Police Judge and six councilmen,
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Geo. L. Carpenter and Mr..
Allison Tyler and Chas. Perry
chosen as chairman and secretary
respectively. Thos Dillon, Sr. the
the present incumbent was nomin-
ated for mayor and unanimously
declared the choice of the meeting.
In short speech Mr.. Dillon thank
ed the convention for the honor
conferred and esteemed it an ad-
ditional mark of appreciation and an
endorsement of his official acts
that he had been the unanimous
choice of the convention. He call
ed attention to the fact that when
quarantine regulations had been dc.
clared by the Council Of Hickman
that he and others of the city officer
had met all trains and steamboats,,
to avoid the extra expense of ap.
pointing officers for that purpose
Mr.. Robt. M. Metheny called the
attention of those assembled to an
action taken by a caucus of citizens
of East and West Hickman in re-
gard to candidates settled on them
conformity as follows; John Knoerr,
Rob't Donnell, Geo. N. Helm,
Chas. Baltzer and Ben G. Hale.

Now that the citizens Of Hickman

question will naturally arise are they
efficient and will they act with an
eye single to the many improve
ments that naturally present them
selves during the period covered by
such bodies? This the city will de-
mand and expect at their hands.
Win they see to the sanitary
condition Of the city and insist on
the ordinances that call for clean
illness? VIII they appoint mar
shall that will see that swine are
kept Of the streets and all other
nuisances abated?
In short will they do their whole
duty impartially regardless of who
may be adversely affected by their
administration of the affairs of the
city. OF course they are not yet
elected but it is hardly probable
that any opposition will interviev
and since it is tacitly understood al
least that the candidates for the
next council have been chosen along
reform lines this admonitary article
may be timely if somewhat prema.

the sixth candidate and Mr. Hert-
wick was chosen.
AT this stage of the proceedings,
Mr.. Allison Tyler called Mr.. Me-
theny to the chair and took the floor
for the purpose Of placing in nom
ination a candidate for Police Judge
as preliminary to his choice, he
remarked in substance That the
candidate whose name he wishrd to
present was a man that was emf
nently fitted for TIE office; popular,
afable and respected by his fellow
townsmen; that he had once been
chosen by a small vote, but to a
man who stood so high in social and
business circles it was fitting that
his intrinsic worth be emphasized
by a popular expression of the
whole city. When he finally an
nounced his candidate Mr., Ferd
Berendes, to that gentleman's con-
fusion and CONSERVATION the house
went wild with enthusiasm, and Mr..
Berendes was called on for speech
he was politely requested by the
chair to come forward and respond
to the call reminding him that he
was highly honorgd.
THAT he was small enough now,
and did not care TO be made smaller
whether this retort to Mr.. Tyler's
irony was intended as a reflection
on the office of Police Judge or

forever remain a secret as Ferdie
has not been Known to unbosom him

mated and chosen.
No other business appearing, the
meeting adjourned. Ii is hoped by
the Courier, that all the candidates
named are satisfactory to their city
constituency and when elected and
installed in the various offices for
which they stand will carry out the
specific purposes for which they
have been chosen. A

NOW FOR IMPROVED STREETS

with the beginning OF the new year Los Angeles
should turn leaf in the line that records its most
elarine defect Like the good young Of scripture
who recounted his virtues and told at the end,
One thing thou lackes" this generally ideal city is
deficient in important particular.
Every keen-eyed visitor from progressive cities
abroad has noted with surprise the defect referred to-
and every letter descriptive of Los Angeles points out
the one thing that is lacking.
The greater part of the street mileage Of Los An
geles as every intelligent citizen knows is unworthy
of the metropolis Of Southern California. That fact is
obvious and has long been kept fresh in the pub
lie mind by the observations of strangers that there
is no need to dwell upon it The present need,
urgent and imperative, is energetic beginning in the
work of making streets of Los Angeles equal to the
best examples shown in leading cities of the east There
is no more important line of city improvement than that
and there can be no failure recognize the
fact as enter upon the year 1905
All citizens are satisfied that now have thor
oughy capable and trustworthy superintendent of the
street department With that start 1t is only
for the city supply the requisite funds for beginning
a new era in street Improvement There is reason to
believe that the new city administration will enter
heartily into the work it may feel assured of sub
stantial backing by the public.
The benefit derivable from such modern thorough
fares as Los Angeles ought have is not confined to
the pleasure of citizens nor to the admiration of
strangers Fine streets attract purchasers Of property
particularly lots suitable residences and the value
OF such property consequently is enhanced. This in
crease compensates for the cost of street
improvements and leaves all the other advantages
net gain.
The year 1905 should be a red letter year in the
improvement and beautifying of all Streets parks and
other public places in the city of Los Angeles
