The Lowest Chicago Price on
a Piano
Everyone in Chicago knows that the
way to secure piano at the lowest
price is to call on Lyon & Healy This
firm exhibits the largest and most
varied stock of pianos in the wor d.
Over 1000 instruments are displayed
side by side under their roof. All OF
these pianos are sold at low, fixed
prices, which are the same to everyone.
The foundation stone of Lyon &
Healy success is to have every piano
they sell act as missionary, that is, 10
be instrumental in selling many other
pianos for them.
Lyon & Healy now offer to ship
pianos to persons at distance at pre-
cisely the same prices they ask for the
goods in Chicago. Further more, they
make a speciality of selecting instru-
ments for persons at a distance.
The advantage of buying a piano
from the great Chicago music house is
sclf-evident. There is nothing to equal
the pianos that Lyon & Healy offer
In the 20 great makes that Lyon &
Healy sell you will, of course, find Stein
ways, Webers, Lyon & Healvs Wash

able instruments of the day.

Experts

the Los Angeles postofTlce rendered
banquet last night at Levy's cafe to
Senator Frank P. Flint and Congress-
man James McLachlan, as a token of
appreciation for their efforts in Wash
ington in behalf of an increase In pay
for employees of this postoff1ce.
Postmaster Motley H. Flint, who was
the first speaker, paid a glowing trib-
ute to the work of the railway mail
clerks He said that in his recent
speech before the City club he had been
misquoted by. the newspapers. and
that he had not intended to leave the
impression that all the work Of dis
tribution was done in the Los Angeles
office.
1--WE depend to a great extent on the
railway mail clerk for the early dis
tribution of mail" said MIR. Flint, and
1 would not undervalue his services for
a moment"
Mr.. Flint advocated raise in SAL
aries for the special mcr OF the de-
partment, men who are experts in their
line. "At present. he said, sit is i'm
possible to get congress to approprl-
ate money for salaries of more than
$1,000 year, but there are many in the
office who should have it. / believe
that the increase in salaries should be
mandatory and not dependent on addi-
tional appropriations from congress.

Umsted, who addressed the postof1ce

TRIED NEXT WEEK

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 5.-The gov
ernment will call for jury in the So
called Los Angeles land fraud case

trial to convict number of prominent
citizens of California of completely in
an alleged scheme organized by r. ID.
Jones and a man named Smith, both
of Oregon, to secure timber lands
fraudulently from the government by
employing dummies.
When the land would be patented, for
which the syndicate furnished the
money, the title was to have been
transferred to the Los Angeles men for
a consideration, it is alleged.
In carrying out the alleged plan they
are declared to have certain sawmills
in various parts of the coast territory,
as we'll as a furniture factory in Cali
fornia. A number of the defendants
have resisted transfer to Oregon for
trial. and in the case of Defendant
Meyers the effort was successful.

ganized workingmen, does declare as
follows:
'"rhat it Is the sense of this commit
tee that such candidates receiving its
favorable consideration be recommend
ed as entitled to the votes of those
affiliated with the above named BODY.
"And it is further and emphatically
the sentiment of the committee that
the views of organized labor on politi-
cal questions should first be obtained
from this committee. and that no mem
ber of this committee is authorized, at
any lime, to ask o. receive any finan-
cial assistance for the furtherance OF
the candidacy of any aspirant for
political preferment. either before or

the Seventh ward, at its clubroom, 75l

p. A. Stanton, the Republican nomi-
nee, against the eight-hour law, against
the reciprocal demurrage bill and

all measures proposed by the Southern
Pacific machine.

WAGE FARMERS
SPREADS GERM
TUBERCULOSIS MOST PREVA-
LENT AMONG T0lLERS
FAMOUS SCIENTIST SAYS ALL
SOCIETY MUST AID
DR.. Lawrence Flick in Address Before
Philadelphia Convention Is opti-
mistic, but Cites Causes of
Consumption
TBy Associated Press.1

TBy Associated Press
WY TASHINGTON, oct. 5--"If every
w unit of our society is willing
W to do that which they can do,
I feel confident that the day Is not
far distant when we will have wiped
the dread disease, tuberculosis OIL the
face of the earth"
This was the message of hope given
yesterday by DR.. Lawrence Flick OF
Philadelphia, one of the most eminent
medical men of the country, at the
New National museum, where the ma
tional tuberculosis convention is being
held in connection with the interna-
tional congress which adjourned Sat
urday. The meeting yesterday was III
the interest of labor, and was one OF
a series to be given this week.
Disease of Toilers
"Tuberculosis is peculiarly disease
of the wage earners," said DIR. Flick,
"and this is so for the very good rea-
son that one of the strongest predis-
posing cause of the disease is over
work 1t is an exceedingly prevalent
disease among wage workers..
Or. Flick pointed out the reason why
the wage Garner is so likely to con-
tract tuberculosis is because in many
instances he is overworked, he tolls
in unsanitary workshops and often
times he is underfed, which causes his
powers of resistance to be less able
TO throw off an implantation of the
tubercule bacilli.
He refuted the theory of Infection
from inheritance, saying that unless
the tuberculosis micro organism is ad-
mitted into our bodies it is not pos
sible for one to become infected.
John MitcheIIs Address
John Mitchell, who presided, said:
"Among the obstacles to greater
progress of promoting health is the
attitude of many employers of labor
Not only do they resist the enact
ment of laws for the prevention of
accidents and the promotion of health.
but it is with the greatest reluctance
they comply with such laws when they
have been enacted.
Equally important are the housing
conditions in our large cities. Own
ers of property feel little responsibility
for the health or comfort of tenants;
their chief concern seems to be to Sc
cure the largest possible return upon
their investments"
Samuel Gompers declared the union
working man is less susceptible TO
tuberculosis infection than the nom
union man because the union shops
are superior in sanitary appliances to
other shops.
The death rate from consumption
among non-union men is 100 per cent
greater than among union men, he
said.
