100 NEW PIANOS
AT LESS THAN FACTORY COST.
Foster & Waldo buy from the assignee the remainder of the Schimmel & Nelson factory stock of Pianos at Faribault, Minn. This stock includes nearly
100 new Upright Pianos, all bright iv beautiful woods and in absolutely perfect condition. Hundreds ofthe Schimmel & Nelson Pianos are in use in Minne
apolis and the State, giving unbounded satisfaction. They contain the celebrated Wessell, Nickel & Gross action, and every in and out, crook and turn
and detail, from the castor to the top, is finished as fine as it is possible to make the best. They are
ABSOLUTELY and POSITIVELY FIRST-CLASS
in every particular. They represent what is best in the art of fine piano 'building. To own a Schimmel & Nelson is to settle the piano question for
all time. It meets every requirement of the most exacting musician. On Monday morning, February 27th, at 9 o'clock, these magnificent Pianos will
be offered at sale. We purchased these instruments at a figure that will enable us to offer them at
LESS THAN FACTORY COST OF PRODUCTION
and less than half their regular retail price. One of these Pianos, purchased at the price for which we shall offer them, will be a better investment than U. S.
bonds drawing a good rate of interest. All former Piano opportunities in Minnesota pale into insignificance when compared to this one. To buy a first-class Piano
...At 20 PerCent Less Than Wholesale Figures...
means a great deal. Such an opportunity has never occurred before, and we don't believe ever will again. Five minutes of your time spent at
516 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, Minn-., will convince you of the' magnitude of this remarkable Piano Offering. Our terms at this sale
will remain the same -- Cash or $10 monthly. Open evenings. Not a Piano Trill be sold until 9a. m. For lack of room the sale will be held at 516 Nicollet
avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The building inspector made an ex

Minneapolis).
MINNEAPOLIS) Feb. -;s.— Labor can
rejoice. The eight-hour day to apply
en all city work has been formally
adoptee* by the city council and will
prevail at least during the life of the
present body. It was an trasy victory
and a most complete one as well, for
the old minimum of $I.7*i per day was
included in the resolution establishing
the \\ orking day. Only one alderman
voted against the resolution, he being
President Crosby. Aid. Anderson and
?hepley were not placed on record, as
they were absent.
* Ik- question was decided at the
meeting of the special committee apt
pointed to consider the original eight
hour resolutions of .-lid. Powers and
Rand. The former applied only to the
pumping stations and it was the Rand
measure that wa.s all-embracing in its
provisions. There was not much of a
stir at the meeting, for no one made
much of an opposition except Aid. Mer
rill. Several amendments such as mak
ing the minimum wages $1.50 per day
and providing that the resolution ap
ply only on general work after March
1 were introduced and dropped.
The proposition had still an easier
time in the council meeting, for Aid.
Merrill gracefully accepted the will of
the majority.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 25.— 0f the many
Important transactions in connection
with the Burlington system, either past
or contemplated, that of the board of
directors in deciding to raise $16,000,0-X)
with which to purchase leased lines
and new equipment easily takes the
lead. While one of the lines to be
bought is the Keokuk & Western, a
transaction which has been mention-eel
already, the decision to purchase out
light the Chicago, Burlington & North
ern comes as something of a surprise
to those not on the inside of the com
pany's management.
The Chicago, Burlington & Northern-
Is now listed as a part of the Burling
ton system, operated under a lease. It
extends from Oregon, 111., to St. Paul
and Minneapolis, with a small branch
to the south, covering about 400 miles.
George B. Harris, second vice president
of the Burlington system, is president
of the road. In the direct purchase of
the road the Burlington will obviate all
the uncertainties connected with a
lease in this age of keen competition
among the large raiTroad companies.
—In addition to providing, for the pur- (
chase of the two roads mentioned, $5,
--000,000 of the money to be raised is to I
be expended on new equipment for the ]
system.
In raising the money necessary to
carry out the plans of the directors a
new method is adopted. Instead of au
thorizing an issue of new bonds, as has
been customary with most roadg, and '
placing them upon the open market, !
the directors will go to the stockholders j
of the company and ask for $16,000,000
In cash. In return for the rash the I
stockholders will be given $16,000,000 in ;
new 3% p<-r cent bonds", secured by a !
mortgage on the line of the Burlington !
east of the Mississippi, and as a bonus I
for so doing, the stockholders ad- :
vancing the money will be issued $4,- '
000. 010 of new stock in the enlarged j
corporation.
