MAKING IT EASY TO BUY
0
These Prc-Holiday Terms of Purchase
The almost universal policy of piano dealers offering
little-payment terms on low grade pianos, while holding
to large requirements on high grade instruments, has '
tended to force the selling of cheap pianos out of all
proportion to the mere relation of the prices of pianos.
It has been our constant endeavor, since embarking in
the piano business, to stimulate larger possession of
pianos of the first class. In this effort, the first problem
is to meet the convenience of the people who have the
desire for such a piano and who will undertake to pay
for it 011 terms which they feel that they may safely
assume.
"We have therefore decided to offer UNTIL
CHRISTMAS the following makes of high grade in
struments on these extraordinary terms: V
New Hardman Piano for $20.00 Cash, $12.00 a month
New Kranich 3 Bach Piano for $20.00 Cash, $10.00 a month
New Story Cs Clark Piano for $10.00 Cash, $9.00 a month
New Schulz Piano for $10.00 Cash, $8.00 a month
New Schiller Piano for $8.00 Cash, $7.00 a month
We'll take your old piano, if you have one, in part
payment, also.
This provides the opportunitv to make vour familv a
CHRISTMAS PRESENT of a high-grade instrument,
for' a most insignificant payment from your Christmas
money, and a very small monthly sum afterward.
This offer is for this one week' only, and if it is taken
advantage of, we are prepared to place the instrument in
your house BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
It really means BUYING these superb instruments
for little more than the usual cost of rental. And the
money paid would probably be frittered away, or spent
for things that possess not a tithe of the constant and
permanent value of a piano, and the. ability to play it
for your own enjoyment, and the entertainment of vour
family arid friends.

Bailey Says Senator Alo Can't Appear
Ought to Resign.
Washington, Dec. 18. When the
senate convened today Mr. Cullom was
in his seat for the first time this ses
sion.
Mr. Allison reported a house joint
resolution providing for adjournment
of the senate from December 21 to
January 4, which was adopted.
Senator Bailey, protesting against the
absence of Senator Burton's name from
the committee lists, alluded to the late
Senator Mitchell. He declared that Sen
ator Mitchell during his long service
had many opportunities to enrich him
self but had gone to the grave penniless.
Concluding he declared vehemently:
"It will take more than the word of
a self -convicted thief, perjurer and for
ger, to convince me that the late sena
tor from Oregon was guilty of the
charge of which he was convicted."
Mr. Spooner said that Senator Bur
ton had all the rights of a senator and
was entitled to places on committees,
and that he had relieved a situation of
great embarrassment by asking to be
left off the committees. He thought
that Mr. Burton had acted very prop-
erlv in absenting himself - from the
senate under th circumstances.
Mr. Spooner said, Mr. Fulton was ad
vised by senators not to announce the
death of Senator Mitchell as there
would be opposition to resolutions for
eulogies.
When a senator felt a sense of delicacy
which prevented him from appearing In
O10 senate he ought to resign. ' If vindi
cated of the charge against him his con
stituents would give him a vindication
also.
W NEVER BE KH0WI1.
What the Coal Miners Are Demanding
of the Operators.
Shamokin, Pa., Dee. 16. Within a
few days the presidents of the anthra
cite coal railroads will receive from
the special committee representing the
anthracite miners' union a petition re
questing a joint conference to present
the demands of the miners' union. A
positive refusal to confer will make
it necessary to have the demands
brought to the attention of the coal
presidents through an intermediary.
A refusal to confer would be tanta
mount to a declination of the de
mands, but if the miners' committee
makes every effort to get the demands
before the coal presidents they hope
the public will consider they did all
in their power to bring about a con
ference. There is a possibility that the
form of the demands may never be
come known should the coal operators
decline to consider them.
The special committee appointed by
the miners' convention to formulate
and present the demands met this
afternoon for organization immedi
ately after the convention adjourned.
John Mitchell was elected chairman
and the meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the district presidents.
John Mitchell said before leaving for
Indianapolis:
"The demands and plans of the
committee will not be made public.
Any statement I might make would
only impede the making of an agree
ment with the operators, which we
hope to do. The committee does not
intend that the demands shall be
made public at this time, and they
may never become known unless they
are given out by the operators."
The convention had only a short
session this morning and adjourned.
OFFERS OF HELP.
Havana, Cuba,. Dec. 16. That
Americans in the Isle of Pines have
friends in the United States who are
willing to aid them in every way pos
sible to have the isle added to the
union, is manifest in letters recently
received here from prominent resi
dents of the Isle of Pines. These let
ters say that friends In tne states have
offered hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to aid in establishing a territory
of the United States in case it be
comes necessary to use force.

Sound Advice to
Christmas Shopper
A Xew York paper gives this advice which applies to Topeka:
"W omen should not save all their Christmas good will for their fami
lies and friends. Already on one side of the store counters, crowds of
restless and impatient shoppers are searching for Christmas presents.
On the other side, hundreds of men and women are piling and nn
piling stocks of goods,j patiently answering questions, restraining a
natural desire to toe Impertinent In reply to impertinence, and alto
gethgether having a ver unpleasant and nerve-taxing experience.
"We ask the readers of this column to do their shopping EARLY,
to get as far as possible ahead of the rush, and try and make things
a little easier for the clerks and salespeople by being as POLITE
as they expect those who serve them to be.
"This Is the time of year the employees in the stores look for-'
ward to with dread. The Christmas spirit of good will to all is too
often kept in cold storage till Christmas.
"Why- not try this year to use some of it in advance, to make
welcome Christmas presents of tolerance and good nature to the girl
who tries to find exactly the shade of ribbon you want, or to the
young man who hunts all over his shelves to find a smoking jacket
for your husband?"

New York Stocks.,
Wall St., New York, Dec. 18. STOCKS
With the news of the Chicago bank in
solvencies to face, prices in the stock
market broke violently all through tne
list, the wide opening declines being rap
idly extended. First sales of Union Pa
cific were of 18,000 shares at 142 and
141, compared with 144 on Saturday.

Fuel 2. People's Gas 1. Sugar 1, Mis

Kansas and Texas and Canadian Pacific
Vfi points, and generally throughout the
list from a large fraction to a point.
The market showed evidences 01 sup
porting orders within a few minutes, but
was very feverish and unsettled.
While the prominent market interests
was bending their efforts to support the
usually active leaders there was a con
stant flow of second grade and minor
stocks which made the market highly fe
verish and rendered the upbuilding pro
cess difficult. In fact there were some
standard stocks that showed but slight
recoveries. Eventually the market over
ran in a large part the semi-demoralized
conditions that were prevalent earlier
and rallies of a point or more were com
mon. Amalgamated Copper, which, for
instance, had sold at the opening from
100 down to as low as 93, or 7 points
under Saturday's closing, rallied to 99-
When the support of the market had
eliminated the panicky spirit and afford
ed a basis for selling, liquidation was re
newed in a more orderly but even more
comprehensive manner. Except where
the first breaks had been very violent,
prices fell back to the previous low level
or lower and there was a large number
of additions to the 2 point losses: Sugar
fell 3. Tennessee Coal 5 and Sloss
Sheffield Steel 3 points.Bonds were heavy
at noon. , .
The free liquidation of the morning
wpmffl to have cleaned up the urgent
selling and prices were permitted to re
trace themselves without encountering
any active opposition. Rallies were not
bv any means as extensive nor as gen
eral in the forenoon, market interests
preferring to induce a degree of steadi
ness and confidence rather than specula
tive advances. j
A rrnnnarison of orices later on in the
dav with the close Saturday showed that
much of the earlier losses had been made
un and several stocks advanced above
last week's closing. The recovery was
gradual and diversified, none of the con
spicuously weak stocks meeting any pres
sure as prices aovaneeci. j eimt-fcsc
after establishing a decline of 6 points
changed front and moved up 7 points.
