WHY IS IT , That no Music Teachers
or Piano Tuners can'geta "commission"
for recommending Chickerings.
WHX IS IT , That competitors who
cannot get them to sell are continually
advertising Ohickeriug pianos ?
WHY IS IT , That Chickering agents
50-10-tJO 20-10 years ago are Chickeriug
agents today ?
WHY , IS IT , That ( he largest and
"fiuest music stores in New York , Phila
delphia , Boston , Pittsburg , Denver , Snn
Francisco aud the other priucipal cities
are representing the Chickeriug as their
"Quest piano ? "
WHY IS IT , That the Chickeriug
costs the most-money ?
WHY IS IT , That Ohickeriug purchasers -
chasers are always satisfied ?
WHY IS IT , Competitors have spent
, fortunosiu , the attempt , yet , never heen
abloto , duplcate the Chickoring Tone ?
'
„ WHY , IS IT , That .Ohiokeriiig &
Sons made more pianos last year than
.all , tho. other high grade makers com
bined ?
WHY IS IT , That uo one has ever
, yet purchased a Ohickering and worn it
. . .
WHY IS IT , That yon can buy them

aud expert , arrived in Sioux City yester
day to confer with William O. Peterson ,
general manager for the Sioux Beet
Syrup aud Preserving compauy , regard
ing proposed improvements in the plant

Dakota City Eagle : The St. Paul
railway has adopted a wonderful uew
electric head light on their locomotives.
Besides a very powerful electric flash
which throws a light straight ahead for
many miles , a vertical ray streams
straight up and isre fleeted on the sky
above. This heralds the approach of a
train when rounding curves , where the
straight ahead light is useless. In a
recent test the approach of a train ten
miles away was made known by the re
flection in the iky. The officials of the
road have given the now head light
thorough tests , and will liktly adopt it
on their engines.
Sioux * City Tribune of Wednesday :
Douglas Cameron , the Des Moiues min

ing for coal three miles southwest of

vein of coal.T | Last Friday , at a depth
of seventy feet , a vein a foot and a half
thick was found , and yesterday , fifty
feet further down , another was struck ,
proving to bo three feet iu thickness. It
is believed the third vein will surely be
large enough to. justify mining , and , if
as indicated by the first two veins , Mr.
Peterson.manngcr of the Sioux Beet and
Preserving company , conducting the
prospecting , says there will bo enough
coal for all Sioux City.

Fcone only n short time after the tramp
had left the house. The marshal mode
a hot foot and iu 10 minutes later had

Texas Wind and Kansas Sand
Make Bad Combination.
THE WORST DAY FOR YEARS ,
Fire Department Ready to Respond
to Alarm on a Moment's Notice ,
Clouds of Swirling Dust Make
Pcdcstrinnism Difficult.
No more disagreeable weather htu
boon experienced hero for years than to <
day. It is a brand of weather noldoni
soon in this country and which goes n
long ways to oil'sot the usuul salubrl-
ousncss of this climate. The country
seems to bo receiving what was leftover
over from these Texan aud Missouri tor
nadoes , laden with all * the loose sand
and dust to bo found in Kansas. t5c
permeated with dirt is the atmosphere
that the heavens are heavy gray in color ,
aud the dust gees swirling across thu
country in a manner that makes life a
dreary waste. The promise of rain ,
possibly followed by snow , tonight 01
tomorrow , is viewed with coneidi ruble
gratification , as almost anything that
will bring relief from present conditions
will bo welcome.
The wind is so strong that out
buildings in all parts of the town have
been toddling over during thonftornoou ,
while it cannot help but bo destructive to
windmills in the country unless they
are unusually well built.
Not many people are on the streets ,
only these whoso work or business com
pels thorn venturing to face the wind
nnd dust. These who are obliged to be
out are frequently losing their hats ,
sometimes their wrnps , always thoii
tempers , and frequently considerable
profanity is wrested from them.
It would bo a most prolific day for a
lire. What would ordinarily bo a smal ]
blaze easily handled , under the influouce
of the high BMith wind today would de
velop into a conflagration. With com
mendable enterprise C. E. Hartford ,
chief of the fire department , has kept n
teamiu front of the city hall attached tc
a hose cart during the greater part of the
afternoon , ready to respond instantly tc
an alarm. A number of firemen have
also been in the vicinity ready to light
fire should occasion demand. This fore
thought on the part of the chief maybe
bo the means of saving much valuable
property before the day is over.

oats from , among these grown t the ex
periment station were selected for distri
bution to co-operativo experimenters
who had on previous occasions care
fully conducted experiments in cooperation
eration with the station and had made
accurate reports. The oats sent out
to test were both Russian varieties
that had boon imported some years be
fore and had becpme. adapted to the re
gion and improved while being grown
hero. The variety designated as univer
sity No 1 was selected on account of
its abilityjto make a crop on n very
limited amount of moisture and iu a
hot seofou. These are the two most
unfavorable couditious for the oat plant
a.nd great resistance to them in any
variety is seldom found , especially in
a white oat. The oat in question has
a short npright stem , open panicle , n
small white berry with thin hull , aud
matures earlier than any variety wo
have grown at the experiment station.
University oat No. 8 is tailor , growing
later , maturing out with a larger plump
berry , and is much less drouth resistant ,
but boa less tendency to lodge than any
other varieties grown at the station.
"Results obtained at the station indi
cate that the university No. 1 would bo
a valuable variety for the central , part
of the state aud that university No. 3
would be best adapted to the eastern ,
and particularly the northern portion ,
but it is not of as much promise as tlie
other. "
