TRUNK; DO NOT CONTAIN
BODIES OF CHILDREN

st. Louis. Aug. 5.-The discovery to-
day that three trunks had been ship
ped from st. Louis to Chicago by men
suspected of kidnapping Grace and
Tomasso Viviano confirmed the st.
Louis police in the belief that disap-
pearance of the children and the de-
mand for $4,000 ransom was the re-
suit of carefully worked out black
mailing plot, which did not, however
contemplate harm to the children.
The Chicago police telegraphed the
belief that the trunks contained the
children's bodies. The trunks were
opened and found to contain only
clothing
The st. Louis police theory of the
trunks is that they contained the pro,
perty of Samuel Turrisi, who is be-
lieved to have lured the Viviano chill,
dren from their home and of other
members of the blackmailing band.

A STATEMENT TO CORRECT A
 WRONG IMPR ESsION.

Several people who purchased pianos from us in response to our advertise ment last week, informed us that cer- tain disgruntled small competitors. en- yious of the enormous amount of busi- ness being done by us have attempted to create the impression that our sale is not genuine or connected in any man. ner with those held by this concern in New York which have gained such a reputation for their money saving pos sibilities. We want to say that this sale IS part of the one which is being held simultaneously at all the Wissner stores in this district. To corroborate this statement we will refer every one to recent issues of the New York World, American, Press, Times and Herald. These papers contained a duplicate of our announcement which appears on an- other page, and and it will be seen that the prices for the discontinued styles of new pianos are absolutely uniform at all stores. It was also said that Wiss. ner sales were common occurrences
 This is not so. Our only other sale this year was last May, when we removed to our present location. We frequently ad- Vertise used pianos; but at the regular prices and the word sale is carefully avoided. We do not employ outside can yaSsers to annoy people at their homes but boldly and fearlessly publish the policy of our house broadcast. The price price of every piano is tagged in large plain figures and is a rock bottom one. There is no price haggling If this man. ner of business appeals to you, read every word of our announcement on an- other page.-[The House of Wissner.
