Hearing.

Judge R. W. Olmsted in circuit
court yesterday afternoon. formally
allowed the motion for appeal in the
Coal Valley mandamus suit This will
have the effect of staying all proceed
ings until the appellate court of the
second district has an opportunity to
pass on the matter. Bond for the APP
peal in the sum of $500 was filed.
When Robert McGimpsey, town
clerk at Coal Valley. refused to put
the local option on the ballot, James
Sackville and others filed in court a
petition for a writ af mandamus,
which Judge Olmsted allowed. An ap-
peal was Immediately prayed and al

writ. Whether the saloon question is
placed on the ballot, is still largely
optional with the town clerk but in

expected that he will do so.

Even though you know abso- lutely nothing about music or have never touched q piano or organ, you can now learn to play in an hour or two. People who do not know one note from another are able to play their favorite music, with this method without any assistance whatever from anyone.

 You are not asked to send any money until you have tried and are satisfied with the new method. We are willing to send 1t to you on free trial, and you will not have to pay one cent unless you desire to keep 1t. There are no express charges to be paid, as everything will be sent by mail. Simply write us letter or postcard saying: "Please send me the Numeral Method on free trial" If you are satisfied after trying it, the Method and fifty different pieces ot sheet music will cost you only. S5, although the regular price of these is Sl0. You should not delay writing, as we shall not continue this special half-price offer indefinitely. Later on, the Method and fifty pieces of music will be sold at the regular, price. Address Mineral Method Music Co.,, sos Trussed Concrete Building, Detroit, Mich.-Adv't.
