Ask discriminating piano dealer
anywhere in the United States as to his
critical judgment of pneumatically
operated instruments, and which he

almost surely answer that their popu-

RAILROADS TURN DOWN BRYAN
Reduced Rates for His Notification
Day Are Refused.

Ch,cago.-Norman E. Mack, chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee, was notified Friday night that
no reduced railroad rates will be put
into effect for the Bryan notification
meeting at Lincoln, Neb., on August
IL. The communication came from
Eben Mcleod, chairman of the West
ern Passenger association, and was
In reply to letter sent to that Off
cial by Mr.. Mack earlier in tho day
and calling attention to the fact that
reduced fares had been granted on the
occasion of the Taft celebration In
Cincinnati, whereas no concessions
had been made for the Democratic
gathering. Mr.. Mcleod explained the
action of the railroads by referring to
the fact that no reduced rates had
been put into effect for any events In
Nebraska since the passage OF the
two-cent fare law in that state. He
also emphasized the fact that the re-
duced rates to Cincinnati were offered
by the Central Passenger association.

1T SEEMED INcURABLE
Body Raw with Eczema-Dlscharoed
from Hospitals as Hopeless-cuti-
cura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old. my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him In hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as In
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for cure. Six months
ago we purchased set Of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and today he is perfectly cured.

er Not Disputed.

Pittsburg, PA voluntary petition
in bankruptcy was filed after eight
o'clock Friday night in the United
States court by Attorney Morschauser
of New York, representing Harry n.
Thaw, who is now confined In the
Duchess county IN. W jail.
In the petition Thaw states that his

ceiver. His bond was placed at $2oo.-
600, and John Newell and James w.

this city, became securities for Mr.
O'Mara
The most interesting information

appointment of receiver in which II
is alleged that the action is taken for
the purpose of preventing his property
being dissipated in litigation over
claims. many of which are unjust.

says some of his creditors have CON-
menced suits against him and others
are contemplating similar action. He

finement.

his mother, Mrs. William Thaw, are
not disputed.
Among the disputed Claims are the
following: John B. Gleason, New

In fact the Syrian peasant, from the
moment his seed has been sown, prays
that no rain may fall. During the

Of the soil to depth of six or eight
inches is perfectly dry and loose. Be-

moist soil, in which the roots extend
and grow vigorously. In this moist
subsoil plants continue to grow until
late autumn. When the crop Is re-
moved in the autumn the rains COM

each heavy rain as soon as the soil
begins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept in
