He will take on all tne players at the club at the same time, going from table to table until all the games are finished. Afterward he will givo several exhibition plays, ex plaining the various moves and counter moves. One of Marshall's opponents will be J. C.

Mr. Bird was secretary of the first chess club of St. Louis, Mo., in 1854. prior to which he ranked as one of the best play ers in that city, H participated as an amateur in all the club's tourneys until 1896, whn he eame west, settling in this city.

To day it is regarded as nothinj? short of a necessity in every American home. The refininjr influence of music is so potent a factor in the character develop ment of a growing1 child, that no conscientious par ent can -save for the gravest reasons, ncjrlcct mak ing the addition of a piano to the furr.iture of a household. While we sell the higher priced instru ments, it is our constant aim to furnish thoroughly honest and reliable pianos on very easy terms to per sons in moderate circumstances. Investigation will not go amiss, as you will find to your profit if you are in the market for a piano. Come in and get ac quainted and we can talk the matter over, We are praclical Piano Tuners. The Plallsmoulli Music Company J. A. BECKER, Manager EDITOR NEB. FARMER Writes of the Big Subscription. Rally Now in Progress. Other Notes. Dear Editor: I cannot impress too strongly upon your readers the impor tance of enterintr the biir automobile- pian0 C()Iltest carIy Never ,,efore to my knowledge nas an automobile of such splendid value been offered as a free premium when tho competition was so limited. It was our intention that fifteen country publications would enter this contest, but at the time of opening there ae only twelve. This restricts the competition just that much more, and I can safely say to your readers that the winner of this auto mobile will find his task an unusually easy one. The utility of the automobile upon, the farm is becoming so well known that I anticipate the time, not very far hence, when they will be in quite as popular use as rubber tired buggy, or any other kind of a farm rig. Any thing that Baves time for the farmer is worth practically what it costs regard less of price, and farmers who have automobiles, having paid for them any where from $1,500 to $2,500 claim in ' unqualified terms that the investment was a good one. That being the case it certainly seems to me that any farm ers, his wife, son or daughter, or the whole family can afford to get right out and put in two months' effort in an at tempt to win this machine. It should also be given due consideration that the one who fails to win the automobile, yet having the second highest number of votes will win a piano and is fully described in the advertisement. And I wish to impress further upon your readers that in taking subscrip tions for the Nebraska Farmer and the News-Herald the work will be exceedingly agreeable. Every resident within thirty miles of Plattsmouth should be a regular reader of your aplendid publication, and the same is true of the Nebraska Farmer. I hope that contestants will begin work at once as there is ho question that the ones who get into the game in earnest, at once will be the ones having the best opportunity to win. The contest closes April 3 which makes the time for work limited. S. R. McKelvie. Publisher Nebraska Farmer. List ot Latter.
