CONDUCTED AND GUARANTEED BY Li A av GOMP After making a careful in vestigation of the club or co-operative system of purchasing the more expensive articles of an educational nature and recognizing the many advantages that accrue to the purchaser through this system, we have decided to give the people an opportunity to procure a first-class piano at a much lower price and ou more favorable terms than even WK could oiler it if sold in the regular way. The piano we have selected for this club is 4

There is no drawing. You take no chances whatever, the piano being delivered to you immediately after being accepted as a member of the club and the payment of the initiation fee. There will be no delay, excepting possibly on account of the factory being unable to ship the pianos as promptly as tlie membership demands. Fifteen of the pianos are already here and shipments will follow as rapidly as the factory can fret them out. REMEMBER, each CHASE Piano is covered by an ABSOLUTE GUARANTEE for a term of five years from date of sale, which means that should there be any defect in the material or workmanship, such as the sounding board splitting, the veneer cracking, failure to stand in tune, it will be taken back and a new one given in its place or the amount paid on this will be applied on any other new piano in our store. We have determined to become more of a factor than ever in the development of musical taste iu this community, and in offering the club plan for the purchase of a good piano we believe we shall touch a responsive chord in the heart of everyone who contemplates the purchase of an instrument, for there is no one, even those iu the humbler walk of life, but that can afford a piano under the plan of the CHASE PIANO CLUB. After becoming a member all you have to pay is Si. 50 per week and Surely there can be no excuse for anyone wanting a piano not having one. Any young man or woman cau save enough out of pin money to pay for one of these beautiful pianos. Don't delay. There will be but fifty of them sold on the club plan. When we opened our warerooms in Indianapolis we determined that our plan of selling pianos should be along the lines pursued by reputable houses in other lines. We accordingly marked the price on every piano one plain, understandable price, in plain figures. This means that the scheming and jockeying usually resorted to in selling a piano has given way, so far as we are concerned, to hard work, for we believe that honest effort is as sure to win as that day follows night. Behind this pushing, ever at it policy, there must be an object. Our aim is to be a benefit to the piano-buying public and at the same time reap a reasonable reward tor our labor, therefore, when we offer you a

OUW GUARANTEE Every piano we sell, be it Knabe, Starr, Chase or other make, is protected by an absolute mrantee for FIVE YEARS. If within that time the case cracks, the scnmling-boarJ splits, the instrument refuses to stand in tune for reasonable time, or any other defect not caused by erosive bent or dampness, WE WILL REPLACE THE PIANO FREE OF CHARGE.

There was, a delightful reception in the Senate chamber, where the belles of Austin, noted all over Texas for their beauty, received the President and Mrs. McKinley, This function was one of the most charming yet experienced on the trip. To the ladies the President said: "Ladles No response is adequate to a tribute like this from the women of this beautiful city to the ladles of our party ar.d to the President of the United States.

At Prairieview, some miles beyond Houston, where the State Normal and Industrial School (colored) is locat(d. a stop was made to permit the President to receive the greetings of the students and directors. The exercises took place at a crossroad on the open prairie. The school buildings were discernible on the horizon. Thousands of Western range horses and every kind of nondescript vehicles, which had been used to bring the people, formed a novel picture. The President made an earnest speech, addressing himself entirely to the colored students. He said: "I thank you for your hearty welcome. I have visited a number of institutions of learning provided for by your race, notably that great Institution at Tuskegee, in Alabama, another in Savannah, another recently in New Orleans, and it has given me great satisfaction to observe the advancement of your race since the immortal proclamation of liberty was made. Applause.l The . opportunity for learning is a great privilege.

Applause.l The last word 1 would leave with you is to be true and right to homes, to family, to yourselves, to your country, ami true to God." Fnthusiastle applause.) After the exercises In Austin this evening Mr. and Mrs. McKinley, with lh ladles of the Cabinet, dined informally at the Governor's mansion, and at !i):1o o'clock to-night left for San Antonio, famous for its Alamo and its Spanish Mission, where to-morrow morning will be spent.

May C The director of the Geological Survey of Canada, In his last report, makes the amazing statement that practically nothing is known of onethird of the Dominion. So states United States Consul Seyfert. at Stratford, in a report to the State Department. It is shown that more than a million and a quarter square miles of Canadian territory is yet unexplored. Thin includes the inhospitable detached arclie portions, but a-dde from these, lully '.tM.om squatc miles are. for all practical purpose's, entirely unknown. TL easterly area contains the greatest ''V.cnt of unexplored tcriitory. It cr.mprist almost the entire interior of the Labrador peninsula. The indications are. says Consul Seyfert, that during the next live years at least live thousand miles of new railroad will be completed throughout the Dominion, most ot which will run through the unexplored wilderness, as it is recognized that railroads are primarily essential to the opening up of this vast territory. The mineral wealth of this region is said to bo undoubtedly Inline use, while the dense forests of hardvocd. whin brought to the markets of the world, are expected to become a source of large prodt. Tie hones of the machinists that they would effect a settlermnt of their differences with the Illinois Central Hallway Company without a strike has been dissipated by the tlrm attitude of the company regarding the qustlon of hours, it f. state.l that a strike may bo called before next Tuesday.

HOUSE 13 W3 AN APPEAL TO WOMEN SCMI-AMAIi HE PORT OF THE A.V TI-SIFFKAGE ASSOCIATION Women Can Do .11 ore for Mankind by 3iornl Influence Than by Dabbling in Polities. CHICAGO, -May 3. The Illinois' Association, opposed to the extension of suffrage to woman, to-day issued Its semi-annual report of tlie progress of the work. After giving the results of the legislative action in the middle West in regard to woman suffrage during the past winter, the report sa ys : "Everywhere there seems' to be a gro'wing conviction that the best work of women lies along the lines of moral influence and unselfish endeavor, in a realm where tho golden rule is not read backward, and th.; lowering of this high ideal to the plane of expediencing. truckling and bargaining which the admission-of all classes of men to the ballot often makes necessary in polities would be a distinct calamity to women thorns-elves and to society at large. At th-j same time. these capacities, directed through the home or through the organized effort to the formation and guidance of that public opinion which .lies behind all law, and wltnout the support of whlcq statutory enactments are worthless, may render invaluable and indispensable public service. "if women would use as much intelligence and energy as participation In legislation would require in. teaching their children, boys and girls alike, in a broad, liberal way. the great principles of temperance and chastity, they would do more in a generation toward eradicating the evils ot intemperance and impurity than they would do by a century of voting. If, in the same way, they would inculcate and everywhere stand for the principles ot justice and unselfishness and a true regatd for the rights of others in social, commercial and political relations, they could do more toward reforming those conditions ot society wnich breed anarchy and are the despair ot the practical politician, thaa ihey could ever do through legislative action. There is much evidence that it is to these aims that thoughtful and philaninrofic women are directing their attention, rather than to suffrage. "V believe that there is a growing recognition of the fact that, instead of being a social advance, woman suffrage is pan and parcel of that gret retrograde movement whi.h seeks to destroy the orderly organization of society and reduce it to the absolute individualism which characteiires only the lowest torn: of social life. 'Advanced Socialism is Anarchism.' one of its most conspicuous .advocates has re-, eently sah' a state of society without law. without institution, with no bond of union or principe of growth except unrestrained human impulse in short, a return to thoselement iry conditions from which human society originally eprung.

I don't like to see you trodden down. 1 have spent many hours with saloon people, listening to their troubles, and I know that their lives arc hard. When I go into a saloon and stay there for an hour, and maybe take a glass of beer or wine, 1 come out as good a man as I was when I went in. 1 will not subscribe to temperance, for I like a glass ef wine or beer myself, and take it when I choose.

DEATH OF LOUIS WEBBER. Well-Known Man Die at Dencone IloRpltnl. . Louis C. Webber, a well-known a-ad popular man, died at the Deaconess Hospital last night about 8 o'clock of a complication of disorders. The main cause of his death was heart failure. Last January Mr. Webber contracted a severe case of pneumonia and was laid up in his room in the Grand Hotel for several weeks, finally growing so ill that he had to be removed to the hospital. He was taken to the hospital Feb. 2. After being there some time ho had a stroke of paralysis, from which he never fully recovered. Heart failure, complicated with the other maladies affecting him, proved more than his weakened constitution could withstand. Mr. Webber was one of the most familiar figures about the Grand Hotel for many ytars. He traveled tor the large paint manufacturing company of Sherrin, Williams & Co., of Chicago, and made Indianapolis his headquarters. He was fortythree years of age and unmarried. He was born in New Albany, Ind., but his remains will be taken to Atwater. O., for interment beside those of his father and mother. Mr. Webber's sister, Mrs. Henry Smith, of Ravenna. O., was bv his bedside when he passed away. His brother, John Webb.r, of Cincinnati, h is been notified and will he here this morning. About seven years ago Mr. Webber came into considerable prominence' by bringing Yt-iiye, the noted violin virtuoso of Belgium, to this country for a tour of leading c ties. In that transaction he was acting for his uncle. Joseph Arthur, the dramatist, with whom he was held in the light of a great favorite. When Mr. Arthur was here the forepart of January, on the occasion oi the first presentation at English's Opera House of his new play, "Lost River," he and his nephew tpent much time in each other's society. George A. Dickson and Henry M. Talbott, who were close friends of Mr. Webber, were greatly shocked to receive the news of his death last night. "Lou Webber was a:- straight a man as I ever knew," ejaculated Mr. Dickson. "He was a princ among men." said Mr. Talbott. Thomas Alford and Mr. Stone, a well-known Insurance man. also knew Mr. Webber intimately, and spoke In terms of highest praise of Ids sterling qualities. "He never had an enemy that I ever heard of," said Mr. Alford. The funeral arrangements will not be disr cussM end completed until after the arrival of Mr. John Webber. Zoo's Present fo flic Stntr.

Mr. Aginton, acting for Rostock, offered the hide to Prof. Blatchley to b- mounted for the museum. Prof, blatchley s.-id he would be Riad to hae Ibe specimen, and that he would have it mounted by a firm or taxidermists at Lebanon. Ind., which does all the. State Museum work at a special rate. Mr. Aginton sax', the Zoo management would attend to tiemounting of the animal, in a short time the I. ear was returned handsomely mounted, and Prof. Bh'tchley was informed that on paying the amount above named he could have the animal for the museum, it -Hsmuch as the eh irges were about twi'i.s much as they wou'd h tv been hail the work been done by th State's taxidermists, th'1 oologi?t refused to pay them.
