Ordinary Piano Standards
Do Not Apply
to the Weber
THE usual piano arguments relate to tone,
to durability, to action, etc. In the
Weber Piano, all these qualities are
taken for granted.
We invite you to listen to the Weber as
you would to some wonderful violinist who has
the power to hold great audiences entranced.
For the Weber is more than a mere crea
tion of wood and metal. It possesses a soul
that speaks in tones of purity and richness,
that might well have been the palette on which
the master Chopin himself mixed his colors.
For those who have a cultured ear and who
have a fine appreciation of music in its higher
forms, the Weber Piano represents an ideal
As sole agents of the Weber Piano in this
section, we request the opportunity of
demonstrating what wonderful progress
. las been made in the manufacture of
pianos during the past few years.

RETAILERS' FEDERATION TO
CONSIDER EXCHANGE PLAN
State Organisation Will Take Vv
Madison Grocer' Idea at Sea-
alon to Be Held Here.
When the Federation or Nebraska Retail
era meets In Omaha, March 8, 9 and 10,
the Madison plan of an exchange will be
oonsldered for all towns of the state. In
Madison the grocers have organized an
Luhange and have hired a manager. He
way the produce the farmers bring to
town and the dealers buy from the ex
' change at a. small margin. The produce
left over Is sent to the Omaha market. In
this way ' the members of the exchange
maintain thoy save considerable money as
each grocer does not have a lot of vege
tables and egga left .over to spoil. It 'Is
)' also claimed the farmers get Just as much
and all have a chance to make - more
; money.
I Prof. Wers, president of the federation,
baa sent to all the grocers the following
ten reasons for setting behind the move
xnent of the federation: ' . ' 1 .'
1. if you are keeping yon store open late,
or hae no-fixed t'me fer closing. '"
i. It voii keep your store pen on Suh-
'aT'if you have : no . credit ratipg system
by which you can safely guan against bad
accounts.
4. i If you have accounts you cannot col
nct and want to know how to proceed to
TUeot same, if at all collectible. -I.
If you are not handling butter, .eggs
and other farm products wlthouta loss,
s. If vou want to get rid of handling
hntter. asm and poultry at your store.
7. If you want to avoid conflict in- trade
relations and maintain a profit on goods
you sell. . ,
8. If you want to maintain friendly rela
tion between yourself and your brother
merchants tn your line of business.
9. If you want to. adopt a co-operative
delivery system In which several stores
share In the expense.
10. If you want to sell goods and make a
v fair and Just profit and help bring , raor-
chandlatng to a higher plane, thereby mak-
ing the pursuits of merchandising a source
of pelasure InBtead of drudgery, you should
attend this, the fourth annual convention
of the Federation of Nebraska Retailers,
In Omaha, March 8, and 10. W10,
get his boy out of the school and take
him home. After pleading with Mayor
Patterson for two or three hours he left

declares that the health laws will be lived
up to to the letter and expressed the
opinion that the officers were too hasty
In ralBlng the first quarantine and allow
ing the boys to circulate in this city. Head

KEARNEY, Neb., Feb. 4 (Special.) The
ecarlet fever situation at the Kearney
4 Military academy remains about the same.
No new cases have been reported . within
the last two- days and . every possible
precaution Is being taken to keep the
disease from spreading: among the boys
at the school. - A man from Wayne, Neb.,
was in the city Thursday thinking ho could

KEARNEY, Neb., Feb. 4. (Special.) The
liquor question Is beginning to be the Im
portant Issue of the day in this city, a
the time for holding spring elections draws
near. Petitions are being circulated, asking
for a special election- for the- purpose of
deciding this question alone, so as to' have
no influence on the election of councllmen
and other city officers in the spring. The
liquor Influences have the right to ask
for a special election and no doubt one
will be held. This will have a decided ad
vantage in the favor of the liquor men and
the Anti-Saloon league is very much ad
verse to such a thing.
Madison Booster Hear IrTlnsr.

monster booster meeting , was held at the

of the Madison Commercial club, of which
Mayor George R. Wyooff Is president, the
principal speaker being George W. Irving
of Chicago. Everyone present wore
"Booster Button." The speaker talked of
ways and means of boosting the home com
munity and the address while intentionally
adapted and made applicable to meet con
ditions at Madison, and was a plain,
pointed statement of the uncolored . facts ;
yet it was devoid of . personality and

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. 4. (Special.) The State
Hallway commission has proved a good
thing for the people of Lincoln, who are
trying to force the Lincoln Traction com
pany to observe the golden rule. The
latest complaint ngalnut the traction com-
pt-.ny, which has simply been reported to
tho commission without a formal com
plaint being filed has to do with the
decision of the company to Issue transfers
for F.ost O street from the South Klght
eci.th stiet line to be used at Eighteenth
and O streets. This makes the passenger
walk from N street to O street to get his
O street car Instead of riding to Twelfth
and O, the Junction. Coming back west
on O street the person desiring to go south
on Eighteenth must get off at Eighteenth
and O and walk across to N and take his
car there. - This was the experience of a
man who went to University Place rectntly.
While informal complaints are made to
the' traction company almost dally and
some times oftener .the traction company
has taken up considerable time of the com-
nilxHlon In hearing formal complaints. In
fact the State Hallway commission has
practically become the Lincoln City com
mission, which the people desired so much
at the hands of the late legislature.
The commission was organized In 1907
and formal complaint No. 3 was filed
against the Lincoln Traction company and
the Citizens' Street Railway company. This
complaint was filed June7, 1907, and It was
for a fare ot six tickets for 26 cents. Testi
mony was taken July 18,19,20 and from
July 24 to 27, inclusive, and on July 3L The
order for the fares was finally made Sep
tember 28, after the commission had pon
dered the subject most of August, having
It In mind since June,
Then came formal complaint No. 24
against the two companies to prevent over
capitalization. That was filed January 29,
1908. It was heard February 25 and finally
the commission completed its consideration
of the matter and Issued an order May 5,
1908. '
Formal complaint No. 79 is also against
the Traction company and It was filed
November 1, 1909, and It Is still pending,
hearings having been held December 20 to
24 and January 4 and 5. This complaint is
to squeeze the water out of the corporation
stock. I i
The people dr Lincoln have found the
Railway commission a handy piece of city
governebt. . ' '
To Make Aeroplanes.
The first company organized in Nebraska
to manufacture and rent aeroplanes filed
Its articles of incorporation with the Sec
retary of State this afternoon. The di
rectors of the company are H. E. Wilcox,
H. H. McDonald and -Charles A. Men,
and the headquarters are In Omaha.' The
capital stock of the company is $75,000,
dvlded into shares of $250 each. The com
pany will also manufacture and rent au
tomobiles and other motor vehicles. ' '
Dispute Ore Pay.
D. E. W. Jones, who as foreman has
had charge of the work at the Norfolk
asylum on the new buildings, was before
the Board of Fubllo Lands and Buildings
this afternoon and had a dispute with
Land Commissioner Cowles regarding pay
due him. Jones Informed the' board that
his salary was $40 per week and expenses.
His expense the first week which was
for livery hire going to and from the
Institution to Norfolk was $9. So he in
formed the board Mr. Cowles Instructed
him to put In a bill for $49 and' pay his
own expenses. This he had done until
recently when Mr. Cowles objected to
that $9. Mr. Cowles insisted that he had
not given Jones authorly to put in an ex
pense bill of $9 a week but simply to in
clude in his check hie actual expenses.
The board held up the matter until the
contractor could be communicated with.
Governor Invited South.
Governor Shallenberger has been Invited
by Governor Gilchrist of Florida to be
present upon the occasion of the celebration
of the anniversary of the beginning of the
work on the Panama canal February 12 to
26. The celebration will be held at Tampa.
Governor Shallenberger probably will be
unable to attend.
Report on State Prison.
T. W. Smith, warden ot the state peni
tentiary, in his monthly report filed with
the governor today for the month ot Jan
uary, shows there are 436 convicts in tho
prison at this time; eleven were received
and sixteen discharged while in prison; two
while on parole and one prisoner was pa
roled. Two prisoners forfeited ten days'
good time each for loud laughing and talk
ing In their cells after having been called
down by the guard. During the month
$45.60 was received from persons who paid
to be escorted through the prison.
At the meeting of the Cement Users' as
sociauon tne following officers were
elected: President, II. C. McCord, Colum
bus; vice president, C. F. Lillle, North
Bend; secretary-treasurer, Peter Palmer,

Saloon Man Pays Alimony.
Mrs. Eleanor Straw recovered a Judg
ment for $1,302 Friday in the district court
of Lancaster county against Frank Effon-
berger, a Nebraska City saloon keeper, for
the alleged debauchery of her husband,
Frank Straw. The Jury returned with the
verdict shortly after 2 o'clock Friday. No
tice was given that an appeal would be
taken. The case was peculiar in that Mrs.
Straw asserted she was entitled to dam
ages because Her husband was unable to
pay the alimony she was granted with
divorce decree.
Strode to Be Candidate.
J. B. Btrode, deputy county attorney, will
be a candidate for county attorney at the
next election.
Mr. Strode Friday declared that he would
run. He said: The present county at
torney, Mr. Tyrrell, has said he would not
run again, so that I Intend to contest for
the position. I shall have no definite plat
form, at least for the present. I have a)
ways favored progressive policies, such

the first time the board can get together
It will place Its official seal on a transfer
which has already been made. In fact.
The designation by the state board is
required by law. The measure passed last
winter gave the board power to designate
hospitals to which indigent tuberculosis
victims might be sent, their expenses, not
exceeding $7 a week, to be paid by the
county from which they were sent. So
far only one hospital, Tabltha, has been
named. Now the camp, comprising about
a dozen patients, has been moved, and
thereby hang a series of tales.
The camp was in charge of Dr. J. H.
Tyndale, a tuberculosis specialist. He
caused the camp to be moved because the
patients were not, according to his state
ment, properly treated.
