GRAND .PIANOS. A Fglv P.aisi Fa_is A_.o_b_ Grands, Their /.dvan tages and Thsis* differ ent Grades. Don't allow any one to tell you that there are upright stands, for that is rot so. Don't grow to think that there are <equare grands or grand squares, for there is no such an instrument— only in name. The greatest recom mendation that the real grand can have is, that many manufacturers have attempted to make revenue out of the r>a*r.e. Grand, for instance, you will of;o:i sco on pianos — cabinet grands, orchestral grands, square grains. The name is a misnomer, it is an attempt to steal tha thunder away from the real grand. Don't a' ]ov, a salesman to tell you that his upright has a grand action in it, for that Is !'::!>-<'. There is but one form of grand and that is a three-legged piano, with a duplex repeating; French action. No manufacturer has as yet attempted to build a cheap grand and many people who really would like and enjoy a grand piano have considered the price above them. This Conover sale offers nearly two dozen grands at a prior that is even lower than an up right of same make. Those grands (many of them) have been used in the studios, but all are modern and in per fect condition as to tone and act! m, all have the celebrated sustaining ped al. ar.d the soft pedal effect is the most perfect of ar.y similar invention. Th se grands have brought, when new, $700, and there are some of them without a ; i on them and nothing: reason- ! able in price refused. Better come in J k them over. The Cable Piano j Company will open warerooms on \ March Ist at 54 Sixth street, and will assume all agreements, contracts and ! guarantees of the Conover Music Co.. j and after March Ist all payments due the ('.rover Musi. Company must be ! paid to the Cable Piano Company. T. j H. Christiarer, manager. CHAMBER IS ENTANGLED. Canao. Decide aa to ihc Fire ! Marshal Bill. The chamber of commerce yesterday dis cuss; d the bill proposing the creation of the office of state fire marshal. Mr. Weed was called for by several of the directors, and spoke briefly, expressing the view that the bill had merit and yet would ' work some hardships. Tiie Insurance men ' wi Favorable to the bill. Many fires were ; Undoubtedly due to incendiarism," while many j were unjustly attributed to incendiary acts, i The bill called for the Investigation of the j cause? of a fire before the loss was paid, ! und an Investigation might be made at the | request of any party interested. While some hardships would be entail-d. the benefits ' would be f;reat and the effect of the law j would be. he believed, to reduce premiums although there was new to be noticed a ti ad- ; ency to a ridm-iion of premiums. No ex pense would be entailed upon the insured; the j fire marshal would be a state officer and would be paid by the state. The report wa ; ' finally laid over to come up I In one weak as a special order. K. A. Mirk called attention to the attitude | ol the legislative delegation in recommending i 8S they had decided to do, an increase of one and one-half mills in the school li\-v. Walter Chapin said that he had been" at the meeting of the delegation and had informed them of the views of the chamber, and that there could be nc possible room for misap prehension. Ross Ch.rke moved the appointment cf a committee cf five to wait on the delegation and further urge the views of the chamber. Mr. Doran :<iid that a tremendous pressure wn_ being brought to bear upon the d?".ega tion to obl!_e them to increase the school i expenditures. He called attention to the fac* I that the ass-eased valuation has been scaled I clown $30,000,000 and three years ago the i R.'hool board had lost by that shrinkage $105,- ! 000. Prom the temper of the people and from j the pressure brought upon the legislative drlegation he felt sure that the committee v. ould not accomplish anything before the delegation. The motion to appoint a committee was carried, and the committee was constituted as follows: Messrs. Ldghtner, Sanborn, Mur ray. Kirk and Chapin.

SnAEGIINESSY GETS IT ST ILL WAT EH MAX TO UK AITOIXT. ED INSURANCE! COMMISSION-SB Til IS AI.'TEII\OOX HE IS AN INSURANCE EXPERT Mayor Tbompion, of East Grand Porl__, Explains Why the Feoft-le of That City Arc Anxious t<» Have Passed Senator Ryder'a Hill Au thorising; Cities of 3,000 orXeu to Vcie Uo litis. J. C. Shaughnessy. of Stillwater, will ; today be appointed insurance cornxnls sioner. It is expected that the gover i nor will st'nd the appointment in at j the opening of the senate session at [ - o'clock. j The contest for this office has been | keen and Mr. Bhaughnessy is perhaps I the most recent entry into the field. I hut he has nevertheless won out. He is a Minnesota boy, nis father having ' been a dealer in hoots and shoes at ' Stillwater, before the incoming; insur j ance commissioner was born in the ; prison village, as it wr.s then, thirty six years ago. John C. Shaughnessy was schooled ! i in the public schools at Stillwater, af- \ i ter which he went through St. John's ! 1 college at Sit. Joseph, Ktearr.s county. Upon his entrance into public life he engaged in a genera) life and fire in surance business, wheie he was active ly engaged until t\\ > years ago, when he was chosen city clerk of Stillwater, iHe has also served several terms as j assessor. He has been chairman of the coun- • Ity Democratic county committee in ! ' Washing-ton county several times, and j I has been one of the hardest workers I in the party. He has been quit? prominent in tlie j Ancient Order of Hibernians and for | a number of years has been insurance j secretary, and a careful systemization | [ of its affairs and his personal efforts ; have played no small part in placing j the insurance department of this or der on the high plane which it holds ! among- fraternal insurance orders. Mr. Shaughnessy is married and has j a wife, two sons and two daughters. I * * * Senator Ryder's biil authorizing cities of 5,000 inhabitants or less to vote bonds t< pay judgments and other floating in debtedness passed the senate^ and was referred to committee in the house. It is said to be a measure that will ben efit a number of the towns of the state, although primarily intended to help out East Grand Forks. Hon. Hugh Thomp son, mayor of that city, who is in St. Pfiul for a day or two. said yesterday: "The city of Hast Grand Forks is anxious to have this bill passed; but there is no u'terior purpose in the bill whatever. It involves simply a purely business proposi tion. Our city has ha>l aceumulaled against it In the past Aye or six years about $23 0 0 of warrants which it has not been able to pay from its regular resources in the past. Every dollar represented by these warrants was for value received: and they are all held by the ones to whom they were orig inally issued. Tlit re ims been no trading in the warrants whatever, and none of them have ever been sold or offered at anything less than their par value with interest. I know from my own personal knowledge that neither the mayor nor any officer, nor any member of the city council of East Grand Forks owns a dollar of these warrants. "If some such authority is not passed, the city cannot issue or sell its bends to pay the judgments, and it would be compelled to put the entire amount upon the tax le.y und nay it all in one year. This is the only object of the biil so far as I know, and it cenaiuly ought to be received with fa vor." Representative S. J. Abbott, of Fari bault county, who urged the passage of the bill in the house a few days ago, slated last night that he had made the statement that Blue Earth city would like to see the bill passed on the as surance of Senator Mc Arthur, from the same district, who assured him that the urgent reason for its early passage was in order that it might be in force and effect prior to the soon-to-come election in Blue Earth city. He was not familiar with the Interest of East Grand Forks in the bill. AGAINST OVERHEAD WRITING. Progrpss of the Crusade of Local Fire Underwriters' National Body. In a recent circular the officers of the Na tional Association of Local Fire Insurance Agents, including C. 11. Woodworth, presi dent; A. 11. Hobinson, chairman executive committee, and R. S. Brannen, secretary and tica surer, say: It is the wish of the N. A. L. F. I. A. that the name of every company doing an agency business In the United States shall appear on the "List." and we intended to give all an opportunity to do so by sending each a copy of the circular of Nov. 7. If we are advised in any way that any com pany has been overlooked we will promptly correct the emission, and if any company has mislaid its copy of the circular we will send j a duplicate if requested to do so. As many of the foreign companies have two or more managers in the United State, with Indcpend nt jurisdiction, we have pur posed to address each of such independent I managei-s. If any manager of a foreign I company has not received a copy of tne cir- I cular of Nov. 7. please advise promptly and the omission will b.- corrected. Some time has elapsed since many of the replies to our circulars were written, and it is possible some company may have changed I its views upon the subject. If th re be such I a com-iany it can revise its reply without publicity if it will write promptly. As the I correspondence with some companies is not ! yet closed, it does not seem advisable to pub- I lish the stand taken by any_ of the companies ' | at present. We hope that every company that will not practice overhead writing will authorize us to publish its name on the "List," anej that thos < which have any intention of practicing overhead writing in the future will r. niiiin eff the "List."

Mr. Graves was appointed receiver Jan. 13, 1898, and he explains the de lay in filing- his report as follows: Your receiver has not heretofore fibd any report or inventory., as he was unable to obtain possession of the property cf the com pany for the reason that the state court of 0 tah appointed George Matson as receiver n an action entitled A. V. Mcintosh, plaint iff, vs. the North American Savings, Loan and Building Company, W. J. Donalp/er H. H. WalDole, L. I. Casserley and J. H. MacMillan, defendants, brought in the dis trict court of the Second Judicial district in and for the county of Webber, state of Utah This action was afterward removed to the IJn.ted States circuit court for the district of Utah, by which court Mr. Matson was removed and your receiver appointed in his stead. Mr. Matson was pot removed as re ceiver until October. 1898. AN INACCURATE IDEA. It appears on the showing made by the com pany's hooks that the assets exceed the lia bilities by $10,434.18. As a matter of tact this statement gives a very inaccurate idea of the affairs of the company, for the reason that the values at which many of the assets are carried on the company's books are far in excess of their real value, and that these books do not show a full statement of all liabilities. A large difference will be noted between the Items of "real estate," as shown by the company's books, and the statement of the receiver. On the company's books the real estate was carried at exactly what it cost the company, regardless of its real value. The item of mortgage loans, as it appears in the statement of assets and liabilities, as shown by the company's books, also appears at a much larger figure than in the statement of the same as shown by the receiver's books. The company carried in each case a mortgage loan at the original amount thereof. On the receiver's books, however, he has deducted from the original amount of these loans the amount of payments which must be credited thereon under the order of the court for the readjustment of these loans. This Item of assets will probably not net the trust an amount eaual even to the amount which appears on the receiver's books. Many of the mortgages will have to be fore closed and the property, which will thus be obtained, will, in many cases, not be worth the amount due on the mortgage with the ex penses of foreclosure. In the case of item, furniture and fixtures, these were carried on the company's books at exactly what they cost the company, while on the receiver's bocks they are carried at the amounts which could nrobably be realized on them in the market, which is much less. INTEREST IN ARREARS. The item of interest in arrears on the com pany's books is accrued and unnaid intsrest on mortgage loans, stock loans, etc., and Is all uncoaiectable. The receiver has charged this off and it does not appear in his state ment. Among the items in the receiver's statment is the item, general creditors, J505.61. These were bills owed by the com pany when the receiver took charge, and they did not appear in any shape on the company's books. According to the receiver's statement the assets of the company are shown to be at present about 40 per cent of the liabilities. The further probable reduction in these as sets, however, must be taken into considera tion, and the amounts due general creditors, tnxes. Insurance and other exDenses of the receivership, which must be paid, should not be lost sight of. There is considerable difference between the receiver's statement and the company's state ment in the amount shown due the holders of prepaid stock, and of installment stock. This arises from the fact that on the com pany's books the amounts due these two classes of stockholders were fixed in accord ance with the so-called "withdrawal clauses." The receiver has fixed the liabilities In the case of all classes of stock at exactly the amount paid In on the stock, as shown by the records of the company's office. In the case of installment stoc-k the amount shown in the receiver's statement is likely to be somewhat increased on account of the fact that often the claims filed by the stock holders show a larger amount paid in on ac count of their stock than the records of the company showed, and the claims will in many instances have to be allowed at this larger amount. This arises from the fact that the payments were made to local collectors, who did not faithfully remit to the company. On the receiver's statement appears an item "accrued taxes," $4,000. which is not shown In the company's statement. Wheu the re ceiver took charge of the affairs of the com pany there was a large amount of accrued taxes and assessments unpaid en both the real estate owned by the comoany and on that covered by mortgages running to the com pany. It was necessary that these taxe3 should be paid in order to protect this real estate. DOXA.HOWER PAID IN $3. The books of the company now In the hands of the receiver show that there were 227 shares of full paid stock valued at $22,700; 1,063 shares of pre paid stock valued at $53,150, and 6,339% shares of installment stock valued at $200,585. Of this last mentioned class of stock W. J. Donahower, president of the company since 1897. held five shares; H. EL "Walpole, secretary, five shares, and L. I. Casserley and J. H. MacMillan five shares each. Mr. Donahower. Mr. Wal pole and Mr. Casserley had earh paid $3, and Mr. MacMillan is credited with nothing, although he had subscribed for five shares. All of the quartette are residents of St. Paul, with the ex- | ception of Mr. MacMillan, who resides in Utah. The real estate owned by the com pany is in seven different states, and on the books of the company if- valued at $158,600. The receiver, however, places the value at $48,333.87.

A gen tleman who has given the matter some attention stated yesterday that the creditors would be fortunate if they received twenty-five cents on the dol lar, as the greater part of the assets was in realty and there was no de mand or sale for it at present.
