COMES
TO WIDOW

Help came quickly to Mrs. Ira
Burlington, the widow whose pitt
full condition was told last night in
The Press. She could have been
comfortably installed in the Dea-
coness hospital this afternoon and
her children cared for at the Or
phans' Home of Spokane. but for
her fear of leaving her children.
A nearby wood dealer has given
her an order at his yard for all
the wood she needs as long as she
remains in his present district.
Adjutant Dean of the Salvation
Army has gigven her an order for
S. worth of groceries. Ed John
son, the saloon and racehorse man,
sent her IS cash Miss Leona Stat
ford contributed financially, to-
gether with several others, among
whom are Marguerite T. Fowles
the Silver Grill and missionary
worker of the Baptist church,
whose name could not be secured.
Two of her children will be
adopted by a family from the
country Sunday and the oldest is
at work. The remaining two want
a good home only till the mother
can return from the hospital.
To work longer with her wash
ing, from which she has eked out
an existence heretofore means an
early death to her. DR.. Frank Ar
thur Cunningham will give her
medical attention that will bring
back her health, providing sch can
rest, and a bed in the hospital is
waiting for her.
Mrs. Dey of the Orphans Home
of Spokane offered to take all the
hcildren and Mayor Pratt arranged
to have the mother taken to the
Deaconess hospital. The city auto
mobile was sent to take them, but
Mrs. Burlington declined to go to-
day.

FORGOTTEN.

On the day of the beautiful pink
and white wedding Mr. Weston
kissed Mrs. Weston 173 times. Mrs.
Weston kept careful tab. On the
second day of their wedde life the
tab bounded up to 202-the record.
And Mrs. Weston has that blessed
date underlined in red. After that
came the decline.
And then at last came the woe
full, woeful day when Mr.. Weston

Always on the alert to secure
whatever may prove of advantage
to the piano buyer, we have
snapped up these splendid pianos
at an extraordinarily low price,
and, in turn, we offer the public
the benefit of our good fortune.
You never saw piano with such
quality of construction and tone at
twice the money as is represented
in our instruments now selling at
SLIT, $137, SIG and $20S.
Of course at this price we must
seel them quickly to realize any
thing on them.
But, bear in mind, these are
good pianos-not toys, or merely
commercial boxes with strings and
keys attached. They are pianos
made by an old reliable maker, full
sized, latest style, seven and one
third octaves, double repeating ac-
ton, folding fall board, full metal
plate and up to date in every re-
spect.
THEY ARE HERE FOR YOUR
INSPECTION
Remember, we would not offer a
piano that would be a discredit to
our firm; we could not afford to.
An Eilers bargain is genuine, bona
fide and worth the consideration of
anybody.
These pianos are here for your
inspection. We put them in your
home, where you can try them, see
them and have your friends test
them.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CrRED

by local applications, as they cam tt reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumb- ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- tion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condittion hearing Will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circn- lars, free.

THE MAKING OF APOSTLES.

People who like to grumble are
fond of pointing out that the resi-
dents Of the Salt River valley spend
half a million dollars every summer
in taking Joy trips" to other points
on the globe. We have no doubt that
this estimate of summer expenditure
Is conservative, but why worry about
it?
There is a lot of comfort In the
thought that this is one of the most
prosperous communities in the world
and that from no other district of
the same population is anything like
this amount of money expended on
vacation trips.
And every resident that journeys
forth on a vacation, be it trip 70
the old home back east, or to fruitful
California, returns stronger than ever
in his faith that the Salt River valley
is the finest place on earth. These
summer trips are great things in
making apostles of the doctrine that
in no part of our great country NAV
man so safely cast his fortunes as
here.
