Evan Sheriff Tom O'Neill hastened to remove his hat in the presence of Dr. Taylor and say cheerily, "Good mornlngr, mayor.

But Dwyer was not appointed, and now the Examiner can see nothing worthy In Langdon, Heney or iiurna Ado Jtuef Zs Muxxled, una of the amusing things of the graft prosecution is the mustllng of Abe Ruef. Schmlts can sit In his cell in the county jail and talk what he pleases, but Ruef, whose place of confine ment is the house which was the Bchmlts home until graft furnished the money for a mansion, is forbidden to say anything about politics. Elisor Biggy warns visitors, "Politics cannot be discussed In this house," and fol lows the 'caller upstairs to the prison room, to make sure that the ukase Is not disobeyed, His precautions are all unnecessary.

When the trolley bribery cases against Patrick Calhoun and his asso ciates in the United Railroads come up Ruef will surely tell all he knows. As to the nature of his evidence the public Is at sea. When he confessed to the grand jury there was no stenographer S resent and the published accounts of is testimony were conflicting. The truth Is that Ruef admitted that he got the bribe money from the United Rail roads, but denied ever having any in- lnsr all their influence to tare Reoub- rn"n: conversation wn any om- llcan delegates away from Daniel A.

And now, to demon strate to you, let us illustrate a fact Or two. Out of every 100 pianos sold in this territory' railway statistics show that the Eilers Houses sell 72j per cent All other firms combined sell the remaining 21 fi per cent For simple comparative "purposes let us suppose the other dealers make a profit of $1 on every piano they sell. Out of every 100 pianos sold, then, these' other dealers would make a total profit of $28. x . v" Cutting the. other dealers profit square in half, the Eilers Houses, selling at a profit of only 50 cents a piano, would sHow a total for the 72 pianos sold by the Houses of Eilers of $36. , t It is thus plain tkat while we would sell at one half the profit of the other dealers we would still show a de cisively larger profit for the total business handled. Small profits, large sales and business supremacy I Not only this, butswe save materially on every piano we buy, on account of the very fact .that we can handle and -sell ,three times as many as all the other dealers combined.
