The hsLAUTERp Piano

In the manufacture of Lauter Pi-
amos, we have certain standards of ex-
cellence that are strictly adhered to in
the different departments; the result
is piano that is source of delight to
every person of critical musical judg-
ment. Constantly we are being as
sured by dealers and pianists in all
parts of the United States that they
have been astonished to find how
superb was the tone quality, the mod
ulation and balance of scale, the reg
ulation, the finish of details and artistic
appearance of our products.
A Western dealer who has been
particularly careful in his inquiries in
regard to quality and construction,
ordered his first shipment of Lauter
Pianos quite recently. This is what
he has to say Of them:
"A careful examination of the pi-
amos that have just arrived convinces
me that your strong claims for quality
are borne out by the goods themsel-
YES. | have never seen finer pianos;
| scarcely think | have ever seen as
fine. | can only say that am de-
lighted, and expect to use very many
Lauters as time goes on

THE FRIDAY EVENING CLUB
Interesting Lecture on Child Labor
by owen LoveJoy.

Interesting Lecture on Child Labor
by owen Lovejoy.
The speaker at the meeting Of the
Friday Evening Club on Friday night
was Owen Lovejoy, general secretary
of the National Child Labor commit
tee. He told Of the two million child
rem employed in factories, ETC., in this
country. Some of them at light work,
but work so monotonous that all in
|centive was crushed out and the child
became merely machine. Examples
were cited from various industries of
conditions and results of child labor
and he lamented the fact that our
public schools have Jagged behind in
the advance of industrialism, they be-
ing too much scholastic, commercial
and military, rather than teaching
the dignity of labor and the import
aDce of the work ninty-fye per cent.
-of the children must follow. OF our
boasted school attendance, fifty per
cent. are in the first two grades and
eighty-Seven per cent. in the first five,
only three and a half per cent. in the
high schools, while the graduates
number only small decimal of one
per cent. Instead of leaving school at
sixteen, they leave on the average of
few months past the age of eleven
because child or parent thinks the
work of the school useless. Nothing
is taught them of the beauty of life or
of the fields.
However he declared that changes
are under way; barren quarter acres
in the country school yards are giving
way to flowers and plants, and soon a
teacher of the young grades must be
able to teach of nature and industries,
and the value of manual work be re-
cognized.
Thrty-three States now have child
labor laws, while in five or six more,
la VS. have been introduced for better
ing the conditions of the employment
of children and Mr.. Lovejoy urged his
hearers to write their representatives
in the New Jersey legislature to vote
for the child labor bills now under
consideration. The demand is for in
telligence. virtue and efficiency in la
Dor, all labor being, as he declared
skilled, although many laborers are
unskilled. The speaker also made
reference to the part clean streets play
in our conditions, the streets being
the veins and arteries of the munich
palities.
Messrs. V. e. Boell, A. L. Revere
and Grinnelf Willis we're appointed a
nominating committee.

We are always delighted to have
visitors enter our factory and see Lau-
ter Pianos in course of construction for
themselves. In no other way is it pos
sible to realize how exceptionally fine
is the construction of these instru-
ments; in no other way will you un-
derstand for yourself why Lauter Pi-
amos have acquired reputation for
being pre- eminently instruments of
faultless workmanship and highest ar
tistic musical qualities.

interested to have "The Lauter Piano

to interest you; it explains the why's

slider the plans for the reconstruction

The plans generally call for the re-
moval of twenty seven of the present
trees, all of which are dead, disfgured
or in the way of the relocated walks.
A system of PIPE drains will be put in
with outlets at the Morris and Water
street corners Of the Park to drain
the grass areas and also the walks.
The present walks will be all re-
moved, the street committee taking
the stone to use in getting sidewalks
laid on some Of the streets needing the
same during the coming season. There
will be two large grass areas construct
ed and new curving walks of concrete,
laid seven feet wide. Inside the pres
ent exterior walks provision will be
made for planting with bushes easy of
care, many OF them bearing berries or
branches lasting through the winter.
Many of them are Of thorny nature
and they are generally low growing.
Near the present flag pole there will
be considerable piece of concrete
where the two ovals meet and here
seats will be provided for ladies and
children. Near the Market street
side of the Park it is planned to have
a place for young children in the care

KILLED BY THf CARS.
Malcolm Morrison Popular lanodon
Grain Buyer Crushed to Death
Between Two Cars
WHILE CROSSING SIDEIRACK.
Saturday forenoon's Freight Train Ends the
lifo Of Popular Lanedon Man-Caueht Be-
tween Cars While Train Was Switching
Found Dead After Body Had Been Carried
Decentralization Was Highly Respected

Saturday morning Langdon people
we're stunned by the terrible shock that
came with the news of the instant death
of Agent Malcolm Morrison, who was
fatally crushed between two cars of the
freight train while crossing the elevator
track in the Ct. Northern railroad yard.
1t happened shortly after nine o'clock.
Mr.. Morrison having just opened up his
elevator for the day and started up town
on business errand. The accident
occurred midway between the North
western and Cargill elevators. No one
was in sight when it happened, but the
body of Morrison was found by Agent
Bolton of the depot while still warm,
laying between the rails under the train
where it had fallen when released by
the moving train as it pulled ahead
after having coupled on to the two cars
of stock that we're being loaded at the
stock yard. No doubt the high wind
blowing at the time accounts for Mr..
Morrison not having heard the approach
of the train or realized the danger he
was in.
+ Mrs Morrison and the children were
away visiting, the latter being with
relatives in the country near town, Mrs
Morrison having left the beginning OF
the week with her brother, Mr. Bolton
Hope for months visit with numbe,
of friends of the family in Manitoba
She was, however, located by telegraph
and by continuous travelling by auto
mobile and team covered the journey ol
over two hundred miles so as to arrive
home within twenty-four hours of hel
husbands death.
Malcolm Morrison was in his forty first
year and for over seventeen years had
been a Langdon resident, coming here
from Edinburg to serve the Northwes
tern Elevator Co., as its agent position
which he still held at the time of his
death. 1t is about twelve years age
since his marriage to Miss Minnie Hope
their union being blessed with foul
children, son, Johnny, the oldest, ano
four little daughters, Viyian, Edna and
Frances. Mr.. Morrison retained the
confidence of his townsmen in Langdor
to the extent of having been elected fol-
three terms as a member of the city
council from the ward in which he
resided: was staunch republican il
politics and worked faithfully for his
