It has long been apparent that some firm with the facilities for handling : and the proper knowledge of
the business , should handle Musical Instruments in this community. We have concluded therefore to put
in Pianos , Organs , Phonographs , and alt Musical Merchandise. We will try to have everything that the
people need and with each instrument will give free of charge , complete lessons by mail , from a Chicago
Conservatory of Jlusic. We will also stand by and guarantee all instruments we sell. You can rely then on
a responsible firm in dealing for such articf.es. We know of no greater fraud than the one worked by irre
sponsible Piano Sellers. Instruments are now in stock and arriving daily. We invite all to call. Will sel !
on installment.

Jersey brood sows was very fair
and one bidder was present from
Missouri and two from South
Auburn , and one mail" bid was
received from Hutchison , Kans. ,
and five from Furnas county.
The offering consisted of thirty-
four brood sows and the average
was $27.'JO. The top price , $55 ,
was paid by Bert Veach.
Reduced the Fee.
Edwin Falloon. the Falls City
attorney who assisted in the
prosecution of the Williams case ,
presented a , bill for $275.00 to the
county commissioners as his at
torney fees. The board felt that
the charge was excessive and re
duced the fee SlOO.OO. Judge
Xelligar made a statement before
the board that he had employed
Falloon and had made the agiee-
ment that the latter was to re
ceive a fee of $175.00. Auburn

Don't say all honest iiien are I
dead , for it isn't trueThirty - ;
three years ago Percy \\ollaston 1
came from England to America ,
lie was a fine specimen of moral
manhoodthe proud father of a big
family , and a man of means. He
built a beautiful home on the
north shore of Budd lake , near
the village of Fairmont , Minn. ,
and invested a good part of his
ready cash in local business en
terprises , fie opened a large
general merchandise siore , and
later established the second bank
in the village with a paid up cap
ital of $25,000. Some fifteen
years ago Mr. Wollaston decided
to make a move. He wanted to
live near the ocean , which had
been a boon companion of his
since childhood. So he disposed
of a part of his interests in Fair
mont and established himself at
Victoria , D. C. He did not dis
turb his holdings in the bank ,
but left that institution in charge
of one of his numerous sons-in-
law. A few weeks ago the doors
of the bank were closed for the
lack of ready money to pay depositors , -
positors on demand. The cashier ,
whose integrity nobody has ever
questioned , made a statement to
the creditors of the exact condi
tion of affairs , and asked them to
be patient until Mr. Wollaston
could be heard from. A son of
the old gentleman came last week ,
and calling a meeting of the cred
itors , he informed them that his
father , who was too feeble to
come himself , being eighty-two
years of age , had turned over
every dollar of his property to be
converted into money as quickly
as possible for the liquidation in
in' ' , of everv claim : i gainst the
bank. The assets are thus swelled
to many thousands above the lia-
bilties of the closed institution ,
but the instructions of the ven
erable financier were : " 1'ay
everything if it takes the bottom
dollar. ' ' What an example of
sterling integrity is furnished by
this grand old man. In no way
legally responsible for the mis
management that precipitated
the downfall of the institution ;
living himself in another country
and under another Hag , he vohin
tarily gives up all his earthly
possessions that no stain of dis
honor shall blot the record at anv
turn of the road. ( Jed bless Percy
