few stray passengers near, when It was
discovered that several thousands of bees,
bring shipped In crates, had broken loose.
The card on the crate said they wee

never sell for that If the station people

had broken open, and after half an hour
the bees returned to the honey. In the

cases. Leather-gloved and a veil over his

IS TO GO TO A RESPONSIBLE PIANO DEALER, PAY A FAIR PRICE FOR A PIANO AND
GET ONE THAT HAS A REPUTATION BACK OF IT. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY.
Pianos are purchased possibly only OBce in a lifetime. Why take a chance of paying out good money and getting
a piano of jsome cheap, inferior quality, simply because some dealer offers you, after you have puzzeled your brains over
,some conundrum, or solved some puzzle, or joined some club, a certificate said to be worth anywhere from $150 to $250
on the purchase price of a piano? Think seriously, is not this absurd.
In Omaha today there are about 2,500 Piano Certificates floating around that have been issued by different piano
dealers. If you presented everyone of them to anyone, of the piano houses that are issuing them, the whole 2,500 would not
procure for you the cheapest piano in their store. THEIR REAL WORTH IS NIL.
MAECE A CAREFUL INVESTIGATION
That is all we ask or have a right to' expect. Acquaint yourself with the actual value of the pianos offered by
others. Then come to us, and we will easily convince you that regardless of how large the certificate or rebate offered by
others may be, WE WILL SELL YOU A PIANO OF BETTER QUALITY AT A SUBSTANTIAL SAVING IN PRICE.
As to" terms, we gladly make terms to suit your convenience. Write us, if you live out-of-town for catalogue, prices
and any other information that you may desire.

CONFERENCE ON MARBLE
FOR THE COURT HOUSE
Commissioners Consult vrllh Execu
tive Committee of tbe Com
mercial Clna. t
All members of ti e Board . of County
Commissioners took lunch Tuesday with the
executive con-mi t tee of the Commercial
club and expressed their views on the
question of marble for the new county
court house. Pete Klsasser and John C.
Lynch argued against a change of speci
fications, while Jeff W. Bedford, Thomas
Connor and Oscar J. Plckard expressed
their willngnesa to substitute the Colorado
for the Italian marble.
The opposing members said they were
reluctant to order a change because of the
possible effect it might have on the con
tract, holding that there la nothing to show
that the entire contract would not become
void by reason of a change. The Colorado
adherents desire a change because of the
saving of time, declaring at the same time
that the Colorado product Is Just aa good
as the Italian marble.
