Ohfts II Johnson has never attempted
to Hoo Doo tho people with Notoriously
Low Grade Pianos such plunder does
not stand with Musicians RELIABLE
Dealers do not recommend them and
the Deceived Purchasers soon discover
their mistuko to their sorrow
Of tho many different Fakes that have
readier Norfolk tho Adam Schaaf is
the Latest when represented as tho
Uest
If in Doubt read the following which
recently appeared in the Chicago Jour
nal and other papers
Wo did not want to strike said
Mr Dold to tho Journal this morning
but Mr Sohaaf would not liston Tho
men wore receiving 8 00 to 1000 a
week aud that is very low wages con
sidering tho men havo families It costs
the Factory 7r 00 to 000 to put up an
instrument and all wo ask is 15 cents
advance on an instjument or that tho
men shall receive a minimum wage of
s13 00 per week
The suh coutract systen is ono by
which the work is given out to ono man
who pockets 0 00 and divides 100 up
amongst four helpers This is mani
festly iiujust as theso subcontractors
are Never superior workmen Mr
Sohaaf violated his agreement by dis
charging Regulators and replacing them
with HOYS
The announcement that such a piano
is the best that over came to Norfolk
is such a rank Falsehood and so utterly
devoid of truth compels publication of
facts as they actually exist

Tho Scientific American of last week
contains an article illustrated with aline
halftone cut describing tho removal of
tho court houso of Box Butte county
from Homiugford to Alliance adistaueo
of 1 Similes Tho job was first lot to a
citizen of Lincoln who after jacking
the building up found his maohinery
not equal to tho ttisk of carrying it and
throw up the contract There was a
necessity of oitier voting 50000 bonds
or conveying tho old building which
was amply suillciont for present needs
to its newly chosen location The Bur
lington roud which runs botwoen tho
two towns is a heavy taxpayer and tho
superintendent conceived tho idea that
it would bo cheaper to move the old
court house by rail than to pay its sharo
of tho taxes Accordingly tho building
was loaded aboard four strong Hat cars
and guyed to some heavily loaded coal
cars in front and behind As the rails
were less than five feet apart and t ho
building was US feet wide it can bo
realized what a nice job of balancing
was necessary to keep the structure up
right It was successfully accomplished
howover and the court house id now on
its new site Tho dimensions of tho
building werq i8 by 10 feet and 51 feet
high Tho train made a speed of from
five to eight miles au hour with its ex

nice diversion from tho ordinary races
and it is expuctod that Mr Mitchell and
his horses will bo in great demand at
