The Cash System
J. E-BOBBINS & SON
Hare determined to abolish tbe
Old Credit System,
AND HAVE MADE
Sweeping Reductions!
In Musical Instruments, Sheet Music,
Music Books. Strings and everything per
taining to the music trade. We have
called in all our traveling men, discontin
ued our sub-agencies, stopped selling to
the trade, and now offer to sell direct to
the consumer at a less price than we have
been selling to the trade. We propose to
sell for cash with order, thereby avoiding
bad debts.
Every Piano and Organ sold by us is
fully' warranted for five years, and will be
kept in repair free of charge. -
Any Piano or Organ ordered of us can,
after three days' trial, be returned at our
expense if not as recommended and satis
factory, and the money will be refunded.
You can buy a Piano cr Organ of us on
the installment plan at the tame price as
the cash purchaser. By paying us any
amount at any time we place the same to
your credit and sand you a certificate of
deposit. When you Lave deposited the
full cash price of the instrument you wish
it will be subject to your order.
Should sickness or other misfortune
overtake you before the amount of the
instrument is deposited, and should you
so desire, your money will be refunded in
full. We buy Pianos and Organs at the
factory for cash and ship in car-loads.
Other Musical Goods we buy in Europe
and get them as low as the Lowest.
Now as we offer to. sell direct to the
consumer, you will get your goods at a
heavy reduction by ordering from us.
The cry of Shoddy will be set up by in
terested parties, but it will not go, for
these are the same Pianos and Organs we
have been selling for the past ten years ;
and it is a well-known fact that there are
no better instruments made in the World.
We append our Price List, in which are
Bhown our old credit prices and our pres
ent tremendous reductions. We give
prices of leading styles only, but the same
reductions run through all style :

FARM DEEDS.

In the buying and setting of farms,
disputes frequently arise as to what
passes by the deeds that is, what fix.
tures or movables are included in the
transfer of ownership of the farm,
although there may be no question as
to how far the farm extends, and how
many acres it contains. Many of these
disputes result from the difficulty ot
distinguishing between "real estate1'
and '-personal property," or to us-
more accurate legal terms, between
' land" and "fixtures." In law, the
word "land" includes hou es and
barns, and other buildings, as well as
the soil itself, and "fixtures" are arti
cles aflixed to land, as pump?, fences,
mantel-pieces hooks for hanging
clothes, art cles of household furniture,
etc. "Fixtures" are commonly called
movable" and "immovable," thelattei

sene (that is, including its build
in (that they can not be removed
without uamaging the. "land;" such as
doors, permanent sdielvings, etc., while
articles not so attached, as chairs,
stoves, etc , are "mova'.dij" fixtures'.
The rule is. that the land, in its legal
meaning, and all immovable fixtures,

been allowed by the farmer to put a

commonly held to go with the farm,
and the actual owner is not allowed to

of the farm had a right tosuppose that
the build ng belonged to the farm. The
owner of the building can recover
its value of the man who has sold
the farm upon which it was
placed. It is very commonlv known
that the fences pass with a sale of the

Sime Statement by a Philosopher
Tro-
ocative of Amusement.
Among other curious zoological
statements of Aristotle's which seem to
receive his support, and which may be
set down as current folk-lore of his
time, are the following: "L any one
make a noise as grasshoppers fly
along, they emit a kind of moisture, as
agriculturists say. They feed on dew,
and if a person advances to them
bending his finger and then straighten
ing it, they will remain more quiet than
if the finger is put out straight at once,
and will climb up the finger, for from
bad sight they asi ead it as if it were a
moving leaf"" "Persons who have
parasites in the head are less subject to
licadach?. Moths are produced in the
greatest abundance if a sp"der is shut
up with them in the wool, for this
creature being thirsty dries up any
moisture which may he presen Small
birds during the day fly round the owl
which is called admiring it and as
they lly round it they pluck out its
feathers." "The anthus" (some bright
colored bird) "is an enemy to tlie
horse, for it drives the horse from its
pasture and eats the grass: it imitates
the voice of the horse and frightens it
by flying at it, but when the horse
catchej it he kills it" "If any one
takes hold of a she-goat by the long
hairs of the beard, all the others stand
still as if bewildered and gaze at her."
"The hawk, though carnivorous, c;o ;s
not eat the hearts of the biids it has
killed." "The jay has manyvariet. es
of voice; it utters a ditl'erent one, so to
speak, every day." "The goat-sucker
flies against t'o she-goats and sucks
them, whence its name. They say that,
after the udder has been sucked, it be

their manes are cut. At certain times
they never run to the east or west, al

THE HORSE ERA.
Reasons Why

the Business of BreA Ung
Assamed Such Propor-
tion.
With occasional interruptions, aris
ing from disturbed financial conditions,
there has been a continuous cattle era
since 1817." This was confined until
within a few years to a few States, not
ably to New York, Ohio and Kentucky,
for prior to the importation made to
111 no's, by the Illinois Importing Com
pany of 18"j7, there were but very few
improved cattle within the State, and
the interest in th's class of stock was
sl!ght indeed. The same may be sa'd
of Indiana. Michigan, Missouri, .and
States west and northwest The build
ing of new railroads added each year to
the fac'l t es for handling cattle, and
wh le the roads were accepted as a boon
to cattle growers and feeders, it was
expected that steam having taken the
plac of horses for hauling produce to
market, at the same time driving the
old-t me staire coach before it to the
front er. the demand for horses would
"radually deerea-e beforo these inllu-
ences. esrec'aUv with the addition of

inw out as bold, prominent and prom

od of its h nhest successes, for every
added railroad to the list, and for every
added mile of extension, an increased
number of heavy horses is required to
move car-loads of coal, lumber, ma
chinery and goods of every sort Not
alone are these needed at points to
whch these th'ngs are shipped, but
equally so at the points from whence
received. Any person in doubt as to
tlrs description of hauling being of
exeat magnitude can satisfy himself by
loo'viii!r over tiie statements made for
railroad lines for. a given period at any
railroad center, leaving out of the esti
mate the loading of cars with grain di
rectly from elevators,
It is not over-stating it to say that it
will re iuire two heavy teams one day

usual distance to freight depots from

this estimate be correct, then it wdl

Follow up the idea, and give it an ap

need not be drawn upon to make the
illustration truthful and complete, that
we are. for a fact, in the mid t oi a

The Big Dollar.
There is no doubting the potent in
fluence of the almighty dollar, and
hence the attractiveness of the large
advertisement of J. II. Robbins & Son
which appears in another column of
this paper. This enterprising firm has
opened up the way by which $200,000
will be saved in the next two years to
the people of Oregon and Washington
in the purchase of pianos and organs.
The examination of their partial price
list given in their advertisement will
show the most surprising reductions in
price, amounting in some instances
to over fifty per cent. The reasons for
these reductions and the causes which
have led it are fully explained in tho
announcement. Messrs. Itobbms &
Son were the pioneer musical instru
ment dealers on this part of the North
Pacific coast to put out traveling
agents, and now they are the pioneers
in the abandonment of traveling men
and commission agents. . 1 here was a
time when these agencies were an ab
solute necessity in this kind of business,
but now times have changed. Railroad
communication and other facilities
have brought the people of the country
within very easy reach of our commer
cial center, and they ought to have the
benefits of these facilities in getting
their goods for cash and at lowest cash
prices. Kobbins & son are progressive
merchants. They do not believe in old
fogy plans when newi methods are
practicable. They have been carefully
considering the situation for some time
and have reached their conclusion ad
visedly and not hastily. It is needless
to inform those who know the house
that this is a reliable, responsible firm,
and that they are square dealing in all
respects. If anyone has ever thought
of buying a piano or organ, they will
do well not to neglect this golden op
portunity to save money. So as there I
is power in the big dollar and many of
them can be saved by purchasing of
Robbins & Son, there should be no
lceitation as where to buy your piano. 1

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASS.
An eminent lawyer of the city of New
York, Hon. Jos. R. Flanders, formerly
law-partner oi ex-Viceiresldent Wheeler,
and for several years a member of the
N. Y. State Legislature, was called upon
by a xteporter at his well-appointed cilice
in "Temple Court," and interviewed in re
gard to nis experience with Compound
Oxygen. "I found him," says the lte-
porter, "disposed to engage in coaversa
tionregarding his illness and his complete
restoration to health." His statement was
substantially as follows :
" For many years I suffered from weak
digestion and the dyspepsia consequent
upon it. My health since I was twenty
one years of age was not at any time vig
orous. Gradually I declined into a state
of physical and nervous prostration, in
which work became almost an impossi.
bility. In 1679 I was all run down in
strength and spirits. Energy and ambi
tion had departed. 1
" So I kept on until the summer of 1S82.
Then I went to Thousand Islands, where
I stayed several weeks with friends. But
1 found that the atmosphere did not agree
with me. I came away feeling that the
battle of life "was nearly ended. Tlie next
time I saw my old law-partner Vice Pres
ident Wheeler he told me that the Doctor
had said to him that he never expected
again to see me alive. When I arrived at
home in September, it was in such a state
of exhaustion that I was unable to leave
the house except on mild days, and then
only to walk slowly a block or twe.
"Meanwhile ray son had learned some
thing about Compound Oxygen.and wrote,
urging me to try it. But I had lost all
faith in remedies. I had tried many
things, and had n energy to try any more.
In September, howevei, my son came to
New York and persuaded me to visit Dr.
Turner, who is in charge of Dr. Starkey
& Palen's office in New York. I went,
not because I had any faith in this Treat
ment, but to gratify my son's kind impor
tunity. When Dr. Turner examined my
case, he thought I was so far gone that he
hardly dared to express the faintest hope.
" On . the seventh oi October I com
menced taking Compound Oxygen. To
my great surprise I began to feel belter
within a week. In a month I improved
so greatly that I was able to come to my
office and do some legal work. I then
came to the office recrularly except in bad
weatner. Un tne nineteenth oi December
a law matter came into my hands. It wan
a complicated case,promising to give much
trouble and to require close attention.
Had no ambition to taka it, lor 1 had no
confidence in my ability to attend to it.
consented, however, to advise concerning
it, and to do a little work. One complica
tion after another arose. I kept working
at it all winter and into the spring. For
three months this case required as con
tinuous thought and labor as I had ever
bestowed on any case in all my legal ex
perience. x et under the constant pres
sure ad anxiety I grew stronger, taking
Compound Uxygen all the time. In the
spring, to my astoyiishment and that , of
my friends, 1 teas as tit as ever for hard

A SURE CURE FOUND AT LAST
NO ONE NEED SUITES.
A sure cure for Blind. Bleeding, Itching and Ulcer
ated Piles has been discovered by Dr. William (an In
dian Bemedy) called Dr. William s Indian Pile Oint
ment. A sinicle box bus cured th wornt chronic cases
of 25 or 30 years standing. Is'o one need suffer five min
utes alter applying this wonderful soothing medicine.
Lations. instruments and electuaries do more harm than
good. William's Indian Pile Ointment absorbs the tu
rners, allays the intense itching (particularly at night
after getting warm in bed), acts as a poultice, gives in
stant relief, and is prepared only for Tiles, itching of
the priva te parts, aim for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffinberry, of Cleveland,
says about Dr. William's Indian Pile Ointment: "I have
used scores of Pile Cures, and it affords me pleasure to
say that I have nover found anything whic h irive such
immediate and permanent relief as Dr. William's In

DROWSINESS IN THE DAY-TIME,
Unless caused by lack of sleep or from
over-eating, is a symptom of disease. If
it be accompanied by general debility,
headache, loss of appetite, coated tongue
and sallow complexion, you may bo sure
that you are suil'ering from biliousness
and consequent derangement of the stom
ach and bowels. Dr. Pierce's "Pleasant
Purgative Pellets" are a sure cure for all
ailments of this nature. They cleanse and
purify the blood and relieve the digestive
organs.

A Remarkable Core of a IIorr .
In the fall of 1883 I had a valuable horse
taken with the pinkeye, refultinsr in blood
poison. After nine months of doctoring with
all the remedies to be found in horse books. I
despaired of a cure. His right hind leg was as
large as a man's body, and had on it over forty
running sores. He w as a most pitiable looking
object At last I thought of Swift's Speciiic,
and commenced to ue it. I used fifteen bot
tles. In August last all symptomsof thecMscase
disappeared. There have been no signs of a
return, and the horse has done a mule's work
on my farm ever since.
