We bought these Pianos for Spot Cash
from the Detemeer Piano Co. of San -
Francisco, who have just purchased all
the Lucore interests in the Sayer Baumeister Piano
Co. of Los Angeles, from whom we buy great
many pianos, many especially built for u.s. The
Deitemeer Co. was the largest piano manufacturer
and dealer in San Francisco but accepted our offer
for the entire lot for cash at lower figure than
others who needed time were willing to paw for
these 368 PIANOS.

GRAY HAIRS RANishEp.

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
seventy-five, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used to make a, sage
tea and apply it to their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy
and gradually restored the natural
color. One objection to using such
preparation was the trouble of MAX
ing it, especially as it had to be made
every two or three days on account
of 1t souring quickly. This objection
has been overcome and by asking al
most any first-class druggist for
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur the public
can get a superior preparation of
sage, with the admixture of sulphur,
another valuable remedy for hair and
scalp troubles. Daily use of this prep
aration will not only quickly restore
the color of the hair but will also stop
the hair from falling out and make it
grow. 1t is sold by all druggists for
SOC and S1.00 bottle, or is sent d.
rect by the. Wyeth Chemical Company,
IA Cortlandt ST., New York City, upon
receipt of price. For sale and recon-
mended by McGrath Bros.

DOWNING, Mo-, April 5.-Willis
Smoot, son of Chas. Smoot. was SER
iously injured Monday while hitching
a team to harrow. Young Smoot
stepped between the horses to adjust
The harness, when his large straw hat
blew off, frightening one of the
horses. This horse started to run
but the other held back, causing them
to run in a circle, dragging young
Smoot down under the harrow where
he was held while the horses made
three revolutions. The boy was fright
fully bruised besides harrow tooth
being driven into his side just below
the heart, tearing hole which ex-
posed the lung. However, neither the
heart or lung was struck by the iron
and there is some hope for his recov-
cry. The boy was working for his
uncle, H. E. Smoot, who saw the ac-
cident and hurried to his rescue. and
but for his timely arrival the boy
would undoubtedly have been killed.

John Anderson, chief of the fire de.
partment, filed his report for the
year with the city clerk, and it Will
be read at the meeting of the old
council next Monday In sum and
substance it is the same as summary
given in The Gate City several days
ago. According to the report the de-
partment is composed of nineteen
men, The report says in part: TO
Assistant Chief j. w Nichols and to
every member of the department /
desire to extend sincere thanks for
efficient services rendered, for it is
largely due to their effective work
that the fire losses during the year
have not been heavier. They have
been faithful, prompt, intelligent and
loyal in the discharge of their duties. /"
The water works company is cen.
sured for not keeping the fire hydrants
in good condition.
The chief recommends more station
men, general overhauling of entire
fire apparatus and repairs to Sixth
and Tenth street stations. also that
station men be granted vacation of
twelve days each year with full pay.
