when Knishthood Was in Flower"

The presentation of the above beau
tiful drama at the Grand on Saturday
night by Grace Merritt and an ex.
ceedingly capable company, was well
worthy to be placed in the fore among
the many beautiful productions we
have had this season. Miss Merritt
is an accomplished and finished
actress of marked ability, and has
an excellent opportunity to display her
many charms in this play. The COM
pany supporting was good, and the
entire play was thoroughly enjoyed
by a we'll filled house. There was a
party of upwards of fifty here from
Calmar, besides parties from Waukon,
Ridgeway and other places.

The Most Beautiful Book on Pianos Ever
Printed.

There is book about pianos, a
copy of which may be had by any
one who is thinking of buying,
which is really work of art. 1t is
printed in colors and every page dis
plays an original art nouveau border.
Besides photographs of twenty lead
ing makes of pianos, it is embellished
with portraits of the great composers.
This book throws a flood of light
upon the whole piano question, for
it explanes the difference between real
piano bargains and sham piano bar.
gains. 1t makes clear to anyone the
necessity of securing musical value
when purchasing and shows the folly
of buying many of the pia nos now SC
freely offered, which are, in fact,
pianos in name only.
Drop a postal card to Lyon & Hea-
ley, 10 Adams Street, Chicago and
they will gladly send you copy OF
this interesting book. 81
