Rebuilt Pianos Of wsIi-Known Makes.

Some of the most charming pianos,
and certainly some of the most won
derfuIly reasonable in price. are to be
found in the big exchange Department
in Lyon & Heals. Here you find cele-
brated pianos, such as the Steinway,
Weber, Lyon & Healy, Hazelton, Wash
burn, Sterling. Huntington, etc. that
have been traded in for other instru-
ments. In many cases these uprights
have been exchanged for grand pianos.
Ordinarily such pianos are sold in the
condition received but in Lyon e.
Healy's the little things one does not like
about piano which stamp it as several
years old, are changed in their own
factories. So these pianos are brought
right down to date in tone, action and
general appearance. Every trace of
use is removed from their cases, and
altogether they are made substantially
as perfect as the day they left their
makers hands. These rebuilt pianos
give great satisfaction.
II you would like a good piano at
about half price, write to Lyon &
Healy for list of instruments in this
class They will be glad to go into full
particulars, and you may depend upon
every statement that they make. Tell
them about what kind of an instrument
you had in view and about how much
you had in mind to pay Address them
10 Adam Street, Chicago.
Lyon & Healy are the largest piano
dealers in the country.

knots or about ii miles per hour, as
we go past the targes The targets are
marked off in squares of two feet each
and the target is % feet spare, and has
a black square in the cepter for the

second division and this division has
every division on the ship beaten. We
are progressing rapidly with our prae-
tice, and expect to arrive at Frisco on
May 5th, besides stopping enroute at
Los Angeles, San Diego and other
places. Everybody is very anxious to
get home again, for it will seem good
to be where English is the prevailing
tongue instead of Spanish, Potugese

We are sure of a week reception upon
our arrival at San Francisco, which all
of US are badly in need of, for the good
times have all been had by the officers

We take this method to warn grow
ers that for our protection we shall in
struct all buyers this year TO not take
wool in this manner without reduction
of to cents per pound. Wool should be
tied with small hard twine and use no
more than two strings each way. 1.-TWO
across and one around the end of the
fleece are sufficiently This twine can
be had at the hardware store in balls.
We earnestly request growers for their
protection to be very careful in putting
up their wool this year and it will have
TO be brought strictly on its merit.

Warning to Wool Growers.

The alarming increase in the use of
sisal or binder twine in tying up fleece
wool in this state has resulted in de
cided action being taken by all eastern
manufacturers as we'll as sea-board
wool dealers. The loose fbers from
sisal or binder twine can not be elimin-
and when the goods are colored it shows
up in the finished product, resulting in
the refusal of large yardage each
season. The manufacturers have, in
consequence of this given notice that
they will not accept a fleece thus tied
this coming season. We further wish
to call your attention to the excessive
use of any kind Of twine, the smother
ing Of a fleece with twine makes it
unsightiy and ofttimes unmerchaEtable

WHICH OF THE TWO?

The great and practical issue, says
the Baltimore Sun, which of the two
men presented, respectively, by the two
principal parties will it be best for the
country to elect as President. Which
will the people have theorist.
dreamer, an agitatOr who has been agi-
tating and proposing remedies for y
years, but whose theories and remedies
have never been tested?
Or will the people prefer the calm and
honest man Of affairs who is experience
ed IN government and has made good in
each one Of the high and important
places in which he has been tested? Do
the people want talk and threats of an
inhalation or do they want action that
will restore confidence? If they want
talk, Mr.. Bryan is the man for the
place. If they want action and achieve
ment, Mr.. Taft is to be preferred.
The country wants rest from agita-
ton; there is need of business peace
Mr.. Taft promises this, and he will keep
his promise. His whole record is sure
ty for him. He will enforce the law
and punish Violators of the law, high or
low, rich or poor. But he will not IN
dertake to establish an autocracv at
Washington and prescribe how much "A
manufacturer shall be permitted to sell.
He will not undertake to say what prices
shall be charged; he will not undertake
to wipe out the states and establish a
new form of government. He will not
take away the money Of depositors in
honest banks to pay the debts of dis
honest banks Mr.. Bryan promises to
keep the country stirred up ty ringing
messages to congress and by all kind.

the patient worse instead of better.

TbFT AND LABOR.

At Leavenworth, Kan, Monday, there
was an incident which goes to show that
the labor vote is not to be mislcd hy all
the schemes that Gompers and Bryan
can hatch between tt, m. All the work
shops IN the town were closed while the
men tlocked to see and greet Judge
Taft, and they stood in a drerching rain
to hear what he had to say. For two
weeks past Mr. Taft has been touring
the northwest and west and it is Of rec
ord that his audiences have been large
and everywhere workingmen have We
coined him and listened to his speeches
with unmistakable evidence of attention
and interest. Such of them as may
have heard Mr.. Bryan also during this
campaign must have been impressed
in the attitudes Of the two men. Mr..
Bryan harangues his audiences. attacks
the Republican party viciously and as
sails the record Of Judge Taft as that
of an enemy Of labor He makes the
appeal Of the agitator, the soothsayer
and the patent medicine man.
Judge Taft, on the other hand, ana
lyzes the record Of the Republican
party, financially, economically and as
to labor Legislation and shows by what
has been done that his party is pre-emi-
nently the friend of the wage Garner.
In that it has accomplished definite re
suits, while the Democracy has prom
ised, denounced and condemned. Nor
does ne stoop to Apologize defense of
his own accord on labor issues. but t lis
the plain facts and demands that they
be their own justification. He does not
accuse Mr.. Bryan recklessly of being
the enemy of labor, but he throws the
spotlight on the Democratic nominees
career IN congress, where the latter
might have been of some service to
workingmen, and let's them see that the
one piece of Legislation with which Mr..
Bryan's name is linked brought on a
period of widespread depression, an era
of soup houses, during which, according
to Mr.. Gompers himself, the army OF
the unemployed numbered 5000, 900.
Instead of the labor vote being bounC
hand and foot for delivery by Mr.. Com
pers it will be found that it still think,
for itself and acts as it thinks. Wher
it does that there need be no apprehen
sion as to the fate Of Taft and Sher
man. Pittsburg Gazette Times.

would welcome anything the President
might do. whether it were by written or
spoken words. As to the effect of his
entry upon the field we should say that
1t might not be safe to trust to the
judgment of Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Kern.
They are vitality interested. They are
In position to determine just how much
or how little an influence upon the tide
Of the campaign Mr. Roosevelt 5 person
al and persistent advocacy Of Judge
Taft IS having. And both Of them are
protesting vehemently and bitterly.
Would they do so if their cause were
being benefited? Not by a long shot.
Moreover they fully understand, ifDem-
ocratic newspapers and some squeamish
Republicans do not, that the battle Of
1898, for REASONS well known. centers
about Roosevelt and the Roosevelt adj
administration. 1t cannot well be other
wise. For seyen years the President
has pursued such a course and followod
such policies as inevitably make his ac-
tons and record the subject of deep
public concern. Mr.. Bryan attacks
these, and promises something better.
Judge Taft defends them.
Unless the Republican party, there
fore, can demonstrate that Mr.. Roose-
Velt'S administration and policies are
superior to MIR. Bryan's platform ard
prospectus, unless Republicans stand by
Roosevelt and the man they have nomi-
mated to succeed him, with all that that
implies. there can be no hope for Judge
Taft. It's the realization of this that
prompts Democratic papers and orators
to the frenzy Of the present. They
know Mr.. Roosevelt's force, they APP
preciate his skin as a political leader.
they do not underestimate his strength
with the people. They fear nothing
quite as much as his almost daily par
ucipation in the campaign Ii he goes
on the stump they are done for.
