Nothing would be more appreciated by the loved
ones than a Fine Piano. We carry a fine line of
Strictly High Grade Pianos. Our vast experience
in the piano business has enabled us to select some
of the best known makes of the many hundreds that
are on the market.
It is an Insult
To one's intelligence for a dealer to endeavor hp
to palm off upon you some piano of an unknown J
maker in place of some well known make of piano. V
We have hundreds of satisfied customers in and JL
around this city that are singing praises for our jg
pianos. The same is true of leading musicians who
do not hesitate to recommend them since they JL
know that their tone and durability is of the very UP
best known. «r
A Square Deal
A plan that helps you, helps us. We consider it
"high merchandising" to make a reasonable profit
«on the sale of a large number of instruments instead
of a large profit on the sale of a few. Our plan is
nothing more nor less than fair, square, plain fig-
«ures according to the factory cost of each and not
selling them on the hap-hazard-get=a!l-you=can
~ plan, which is in vogue elsewhere.
«With the Tricky Healer it is Different
Something else that pay them a little greater
profit will be urged upon you as "just as good," or
A "even better." You can hardly afford to accept a
W substitute of an unknown piano without any par-
ticular record of merit in place of one of the well
a known makes which have stood the test of time,
built by concerns with forty and fifty years experi-
ence in the art of piano building, pianos that artists

mittee feels that these tribjs are
competent to manage their own
affairs and that the government
should cease paving interest on
the funds.
It is estimated that the Indian ap
propriation bill carries more gen-
eral legislation of a far-reaching
effect than it has in many years.
It contains practically all of the
recommendations made by a spe-
cial sub-committee of the Senate
wnich visired Oklahoma and In-
dian territory last summer, inves-
tigating citizenship and property
rights of five civilized tribes.
for removal of restrictions.
Chief of these recommenda-
tions is that "on and after July I,
1907, all restrictions upon the a-
lienations, leasing, or incumber-
ing of the lands, except home-
steads, of all allottees of Indian
blood in the Indian territory, and
all reservations upon the aliena-
tion, leasing, or incumbering of
all tiie lands of allottees not of
Indian blood are hereby remov-
ed."
An equally extensive provision
has been adopted in relation to
coal and asphelt lands. The sur-
face of the segregated land of
the Choctaw and Chickasaw na-
tions, containing these deposits,
whether leased or unleased, is to
be appraised by a board to be ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the
Interior and approved by the
President, and their value ascer-
tained. When this has been done
the surface of these lands may be
sold, after six months' notice of
such sale, in tracts of not more
than 100 acres to each purchaser,
and at not less than the apprais-
ed value. The sales are to be
made subject to the right of the
purchaser of mineral deposits, to
mine under the lands, in accor-
dance with conditions drafted by
the special committee which in
vestigated the subject, whose re-
port already has been published.
to open blackfeet reservation.
The Blackfeet Indian reserva
tion in Montana is to be opened
to settlement if another Senate
amendment is adopted. Provi-

Penitentiary Pigs.
Mulhall Enterprise: "Pink
[Smith has just been released
from the penitentiary at Leven-
worth. He was sent up two
years ago for killing a neighbor
with whom he had trouble near
his home at Mulhall. Resides
his transportation and suit of
clothes he was given a pair of
white pigs by the warden when
he started home. When "Pink"
arrived at the prison he was put
in charge of the 200 hogs on the
prison farm and has only spent
eight nights altogether within the
walls, being treated as a trusty
and sleeping in a little farm
house. The pigs were given him
as a token ofesteem forhis splen-
did management of the prison
swine herd. Which shows that
honest effort is appreciated even
in the penitentiary.

Among other important amend-
ments made by the Senate com-
mittee are the following:
White children may be admit-
ted to any Indian school, and the
tuition tee shall in no case ex-
ceed the tuition fees allowed or
charged by the state or county in
which the school is situated.
With a view to commuting the
perpetual annuities, due to Indian
under treaty stipulations, the In-
dian commissioner is directed to
send a special Indian agent to
visit all tribes enjoying such re-
lations with the go\eminent.
The Secretary of the Interior is
instructed to acquire by purchase
or condemnation, such land as he
may deem nececsary in construct-
ing a reservoir for storing water
for the purpose of irrigating lands

tion, Idaho.

freedman roll are to be transfer-
red to the roll of citizens by blood
of the Choctaw or Chickasaw na-
tions, and these parents will be
permitted to participate in tribal
rights as full-bloods.
An appropriation of $215,239 is
made to pay to the Mexican
Kickapoo Indians, this amount
being the difference between
thirty-tw« and one half cents an
acre, heretofore paid to these In-
dians; and the amount realized
by the United States for the
surplus lands in Oklahoma.
The Attorney General of the
United States is directed to inves-
tigate conveyances, purported to
have been executed in Mexico,
of lands in Oklahoma, and if
found to have been procured by
fraud, to begin proceedings to
have them set aside. He is also
instructed to prosecute parties to
the frauds if any were commit-
ted.
The bill contains the usual
large number of appropriations
for the settlement of claims, which
every year are inserted in the
measure by the House or the
Senate, and eliminated when the-
measure is taken under consider
ation.
were trying to gtt for him. Ashby
took offence because a negro
spoke to him in the shoe factory
and killed hill with a shoe knife.
His term of ten years is almost
out, and while often defeated in
their attempt for a pardon his
friends were diligently at work
again when this last crime fell ;
like a domb in their camp. It is |
claimed that after his term ex-
pires next year he will be tried
for this murder and may remain
another term of years in the pen-
itentiary.
Griffith, whom Ashby killed
was a resident of Guthrie before
he moved to Weatherford, and
his family have faught Ashby's
perdan applicaton. This new
crime proves his nature generaly
vicious and that it would have
been a mistake to have pardoned
him.
Judge Biar By
Its True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider
It a Means to National Temperance.
We hnvo rorently published a num-
bor of articles on the food value of
boor, and we belirvt: that sooner or
later b< « r will be recoRnizod at its true
worth, as a food beverage of splendid
tonic effect and high nourishing value.
Noted nu-n an<l women of this country
are already alive to the situation and
besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and Dr.
Joseph Feisler of Northwostorn Uni-
versity, many others of note givo their
endorsement to beer as a means to na-
tional temperance.
Miss Cousins, for a quarter of a cen-
tury the most ominrnt woman suf-
frage advocate In the West, cald in a
recent interview: "There never will be
a law that will compel prohibition, and
the sensible thing for the Women's
Christian Temperance Union to do is
to aid in the substitution of inild,
nourishing drinks like beer, which sel-
dom produces drunkenness. A promi-
nent army officer who served in the
Southwest, operated canteens at three
different posts, lie made the canteens
bo acceptable to the soldiers, who
found beer satisfying their demands,
that he actually ran all the low dives
of the surrounding neighborhood out
of business."
Pabst Heer meets all the demands
for a mild, healthful, refreshing bever-
age sueh as Miss Cousins suggests. It
is made of the exclusive Pabst eight-
day malt, choicest hops and pura
water. Eight-day malt, which is the
only perfect malt, gives Pabst Beer

beverage. No other is so healthful.

man Griffith in Weatherford in
its early days and is now serving
a ten years sentence in the Lan-
sing penitentiary, killed a negro

" This man is a watchmaker by
trade," said the policeman. "He
earns $20 a week when he is work-
ing. Hut he gets drunk and stays
in that condition weeks at a time.
He gets clear down in ihe gutter
at last and then the police are
forced to take care ol him."
"I teel very sorry for you," said
the judge, "and I am going to try
to reform you. I shall fine you
$loo on a charge of vagrancy.
That would send you to the work-
house for two hundred divs. But
I will not enforce the fine if you
stay sober two weeks. Report to
me here two weeks from to day."

as he turned to go he said :
"See here, judge, I'm going to
prove to you that I've got some
good left in me, and some man-
hood. As God is my judge, I'll
never touch liquor again."
The sequel to the story is this:
Two weeks later when court
opened a young man wuh bright,
clear eyes and neatly dressed
stepped before the judge and
waited.
" Well, what can I do for you?"
inquired the judge.
"You told me to come back. I
guess you don't remember me.'
'"No, I don't believe I do. Still>
your face seems familiar."
He told his name. He was the
same man whom the judge had
fined Sioo. Not only the judge,
but the eity attorney and the
court sergeant had failed to re-
cognize him.

Encouragement Often

Men of experience in police
court say that a few kind words, a
little encouragement to a man
when he's ''down" will often do
more good than a workhouse sen-
