FROM DEATH
David N. Waters, a young lineman
engaged In the work of stringing
the transmission wires of the Dallas-
Sherman iuterurban, had a narrow
escape from death in n accident in
here about 6 o'clock Thursday eve-
ning. He and ii companion had
climbed to the top of a pole, over
llfly feet' in height, situated at the
corner of North Kentucky street and
the alley running juHt north of this
oflb e, for the purpose of placing the
cable wires, when he was jerked for-
ward, lost his hold and fell. He
] would undoubtedly have been killed
had he not in fulling struck the tele-
graph wires below him and from
these fell to the awning in front of
this office, from which lie was soon
taken down, and his injuries given
medical attention, ills right arm is
badly lacerated, and his right side
severely bruised, though his injuries
are in# considered to be of a serious
nature. The young ninu'ti home is
in Central Florida, lint he has for
some time been at work along the
line of the Iuterurban between ibis
city and Sherman. He has been
stopping while here at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Parks Smith, Chest-
nut street.

/^vUR prices are
lower for qual-
ity than elsewhere.
We know this. It is
not an idle claim,
but a fact based up-
on natural conditions. No rents, buying in large
quantities for spot cash, and the lower cost of
doing a vast volume of business.

Since a piano as a rule costs more than any other
single piece ol furniture that goes int. the home,
and since a vast majority ol the people who buy
"once for all," the purchase of" one ought to be
given serious consideration and the make selected
with the utmost caution.
Some people mme their selections on the
strength o! the salesman's representations, o r
tho opinion of some unscrupulous person paid to
4,PassM upon the merits of the instrument, which,
in many cases, has not even received the indorse-
ment of obscure musicians, much less one of note;
but when a Kimball, or an Estey, or a Camp & Co., iw se-
lected for the home, the school, the church, or any
other place, for that matter, you are purchasing an
instrument unrivalled in "tone, fouch and durabil-
ity," recommended and used by the world's most
famous artists, whose names and testimonials can be
had Free on application for a piano catalogue.
Remember That
We are still handling the Celelpated Victor Talking
Machines, ranging in price from $10.00 to $200.00.
Our prices are always reasonable and terms liberal;
and there i^ no necessity for postponing the pur-
chase and being deprived of the pleasure and benefits
of a piano in your home, because you haven't the
Cash just at this time, when we'll sell you without it.
