There ia no comparison. The pianoJn your home will solve the problem of keeping your
boy home evenings. It will be the means of added accomplishment to your daughter and for
your wife--home will be brighter because of its presence. The piano will accomplish results
which money in the bank will never do. And then an investment of this character will mean
several times the 4 per cent which the bank pays you.
. Strange as it may seem, however, our splen,did system of piano selling makjs it possible
for you to leave the money in the bank and have a piano in your home at the same time.
- A small payment monthly will do this so why put off longer when OUR FEBRUARY
ALTERATION SALE gives the opportunity for you to buy the piano at an actual bargain?
For, during this sale, your money will go'ncarlly twice as far and the same easy terms pre

The foregoing table speaks for itself. But
there are features of the situation Just now
well worthy of comment. Whatever may
be the lack of demand for commercial
structures there Is unquestionably a strong
demand for buildings of a semi-public
character and to a degree not usually found
In former periods of contraction. This
class Includes club, houses, schools, society
buildings of various classes and churches.
The type of building which was in no sense
a feature of building construction In former
periods of money stringency. Another
phase of the situation is the ease with which
funds for this class of construction can
be raised. When people feel poor they do
not contribute freely to movements to se
cure funds for this purpose. This Indicates
that people are well off and that there is
an abundance of money, much of which
will find Its way Into new construction Just
as soon as affairs adjust themselves to the
new conditions following the Jolt to which

Disbarment Case.
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, rh. T. (Bpeelal.) P. A. Cald-
welt, a candidate tor the republican nomi
nation for railway commissioner at the
primaries held last September, has filed a
petition with the commission demanding
and praying that the commission set a date
for a-hearing for the promulgation of a
distance tariff sheet based on the operating
expenses and a fair return on the Invest
ment of the railroads In the state. The
commission will shortly set a date for the
hearing and go to bottom of the mat
ter. According to Information received by
the commission some sentiment has been
created for a distance tariff, but Inasmuch
as the present commercial Industries of
the state have been bullded up under the
present system of rstes, the commission
realizes that a change In the system In
volves grave responsibilities. According to
the report of the Minnesota commission.
which held a hearing on the matter of
rates, the hearing lasted for more than a
year and a half, finally resulting In an
order being Issued to the effect that the
system In vogue In that state was not
changed, though a maximum rate was
fixed for terminals and distributing points.
Between such points the railroads were
permitted to charge 5 per cent In excess
of the fixed terminal rates.
Text of Petition.
The petition filed by Mr. Caldwell was
liberally signed and In full Is as follows:

These figures are In a carbon copy, the
original having disappeared. Captain Fisher
left it to the commission whether an opti
cian, or a chemist should be summoned, but
the commission declined to leclde, so Prof.
Avery, professor of chemistry at the uni
versity, was called. When the question was
asked him. Prof. Avery said that he knew
nothing more about the matter than anyone
else and unfsss there was a radical differ
ence In the Ink used a chemical analysis
probably would determine nothing. The
state objected to the professor testifying.
Inasmuch as he did not qualify, and Uien
Minor 8. Hacon. official reporter for the
commission, qualified by saying he had
used a typewriter for twenty years and was
familiar with the use ot carbons. Bacon
testified that the figure "1," in his opinion,

Captain Fisher testified tills morning that

The matter of the bonds given by bond

ously discussed by members of the State

recommendation to he state legislature by
Governor 8 lie Won for an amendment or a

security given the state by the depositories.
I'nder the present law a bonding company
may bond any number of banks, making

Its capital stock. Should a panic strike
the state and any considerable number of
banks fall It Js considered doubtful if the
bonding companies would be able to pay
out and make good to the state tho lgsnes.
Governor Sheldon Is giving this matter
considerable study and It Is not improbable
that he will recommend that the banks
which handle state money be required,
under a new law, to give security upon
which there Is no question of the state
being able to realize., That this matter is
of the greatest Importance Is shown by
tho huge bank deposits made by the state
treasurer, at times there being from 1300,000
to $100,000 on deposit.
