have to come out of the selling
price of the instrument. And, of
course, in paying for the piano
you would be paying the COM
mission yourself.
We have many grades and
styles of pianos and player
pianos at prices ranging from
$125.OO up-and they are all
new instruments. We Guarantee
every instrument to be exactly
as we represent it in its class.
Your money will be refunded if
it is not.
We want you to at least see
these pianos and player pianos.
You owe it to yourself to look
around. You can inspect our
various instruments at your
leisure. You will not be rushed
or hurried. You will not be
urged to buy against your judg-
ment. We want each customer
to feel positive that he is getting
full satisfaction. We want you
to feel that your money is being
spent to the best possible advan-
tage.
Come in tomorrow. Let us
show you the fair way of buying
pianos. Get the advice of our
statesmen. They have made a
study of the construction of pi-
amos and players, and can give
you valuable pointers.

And That Price the
Lowest Possible
Whether You Buy Tomorrow Next Week Next Month

1t is no longer necessary for
the prospective piano purchaser
to have a technical knowledge of
pianos in order to be able to get
an INSTRUMENT at a price that is
fair to him and to the dealer. 1t
is no longer necessary for the
buyer to take a leap in the dark
and trust to luck for fair treat
ment simply because his judg-
ment of pianos may be slightly
imperfect.
Bell Bros. Music Co. have
opened their factory store in
Topeka to sell pianos and player
pianos on an equal basis to all
buyers. The name of Bell Bros.
has a record of &c years of fair
dealing and honest quality be-
hind it. And it is the purpose of
the Topeka store to not only
maintain, but strengthen that
record.
All pianos and player pianos
in our salesroom bear plainly
marked price tags. These prices
are the lowest that we can make.
The unsteady trained buyer can
appreciate the values we offer
at the various prices, and the
buyer with less musical discern
ment can make his selections at
the same prices.

that day and arrest every person who
is found spending their time with
such stuff. The city ordinance was
drafted and passed in order that in
juries be reduced to minimum and
Chief Jenkins believes in enforcing
this ordinance as he does in all
others.
Some have intimated that attempts
might be made to handle fireworks
of a different description-the kind
which does not explode-but Chief
Jenkins has announced that this kind
will be given as much attention as the
noisy kind and he will not permit the
use of them in the city. He and the
other officers of the department are
assisting in such celebrations and
when the evidence becomes sufficient
they will be warned of the danger
and stopped before the celebration
begins.
Officer Rufus Frazier will report
for duty tonight wearing a bright
new star numbered 16. His old star
was torn off his coat about two weeks
ago when he was engaged in tussle
with some negroes on Monroe street
between Crane and First streets. The
negroes were resisting arrest, and if
there is anything that pleases a negro
it is to tear the star off policeman S
uniform. The officer has been unable
to find the star and it was necessary
to have new one made for him.
1t has also been necessary to have
another star made. Officer Cass
Matthews, who was killed by two men
near the Union Pacific depot about
two months ago, lost his star while
attempting to defend himself. His
star has never been found and it is
supposed that some souvenir fiend
found it and is keeping it as a memen-
to of the occasion. Star No. II, which
was the number of Officer Matthews,
will be kept at the police station for
future use,

BOYCOTT FRUIT.
Disagreement in New York

of 100000.

NEW YORK, November 19.-Three hun
dred thousand dollars worth of California
fruit, $50 carloads in ALL will be allowed
to decay on the, North river piers, where
it was landed this week. unless Some set
tlement is reached shortly in dispute be-
tween the New York Fruit Buyers Asso-
citation and the brokers representing the
California shippers. :.
The disagreement is over recent In
crease by the brokers in the cartage
charges assessed against those who pur-
chase the pier at the pier auction sales.
Announced a Boycott.
AS soon as the increase was annoupced
the buyers association declared it would
boycott all shipments until satisfactory
adjustment was effected. A shortage Of
California fruit throughout the east will
be the probable result.
The $50 carloads, mostly oranges, cranes
and pears, were to have been sold at sauc-
ton yesterday. When the oranges, were
put on the block not an offer was re-
ceived. =
Dealers Would Not Buy.
The fruit was valued at about 81 a box.
"Will any one give me five cents a box
for these oranges?" asked the auctioneer
Not a bid was received, although nearly
400 buyers were present. "Will any one
give me one cent box?" asked the auc-
tioneer.
Still the fruit went begging and the sale
was adjourned.

Avoidance of Friction.
Mr.. Prouty, in his welcoming address,
said. in part:
There is one thought which naturally
arises upon an occasion Hike this. You
are state commissioners, We are federal
commissioners In this many people see
conflict of authority and final confusion.
For one, l entertain no apprehension on
this account. We shall all agree that in
this country of ours there should be no
state lines as to commercial intercourse.
The. thing which led to the calling of a
convention which finally gave to this ma
ton Constitution was the friction be-
tween different states in their commercial
relation. The one thing which seems to
have been accepted from the first in that
conventions was that there must be no
barriers to perfect freedom of CONNER
cial intercourse between the states.
"The Interstate commerce commission
and all its activities depend upon this
clause in the Constitution. 1t ought to
be possible to devise some bond of union
between the federal and the state COM
missions, some working arrangement under
which many quest Ons can be considered
and disposed of. 1 have sometimes won
dered whether this might not be accom-
plished by statute. Perhaps not, but il
proper understanding between the two
classes of commissioners"
Popular Rights Superior.

safn in part:
''While most Of the public service cor
porations are more or less subject to con-
troll. undoubtedly the railroads are re-
garded as the first in Importance. Every
fair-minded man wantsifo see the roads
grow and prosper. Let US not forget
t at in administering TIE laws and regu-
the rule. but. that the rights OF the people
are always superior to that of any cor
pOration. The railroad magnate potent
as he is, must acknowledge in the govern
ment q master.
