When the tide sets one way there la
always a cause for it
Women don't come here to buy roosts
steaks, and all other kinds of meat
simply because it's ennstensen & co. s.
Of course there are a few, a very
few, who buy out of compliment, or
from Ignorance, but the gTeat mass of
housekeepers buy where they can get
the best and for that reason we supply
the majority. of the families in Asto
ria for they know by experience that
ii have only the best.

KDMBALL IN N. Y. STATE.
The W. W. Kimball Co. Incorporated In
New York State for "1000,000.
Music trades have known for some
months past that the W. W. Kimball
Co., of Chicago, had incorporated in New
York state with a capital of $000,000, but
as the-whole plan had not been definitely
decided upon, it was deemed better to
krep the naws 'for a! while.
I aim enabled now 'no state that the W.
W. Kimball Co. have come east to Stay,
and to make a big 'bid for ithe eastern
trade, and especially for the. trade in
rich central New York. Muslc Trades,
New York, February 2, 1895.
This Is only a side Issue with the great
Kimball Co., which evidences its push,
energy and financial success. They S:t
aside $000,000 for (New York state alone,
while numerous Biwatl fry whose entire
capital Is only J10.000, $20,000 or j0,000,
make a great stir, send out "flaming
circulars" and showy catalogues, claim
ing to be Uhe biggest people on earth in
the piano business and threatening dire
ca'.amity to an,w iwho may come in their
way. It s the same old story of the lit
tle bull who defied 'the locomotive the
locomotive passed on and 'the little bull
was heard of no more. Thus does the
great Kimball Co. pursue the even tenor
of Its way, attending etrlctly to its own
busness unmindful of the railings and
ye'.ps of all small ifry following in its
wake. The Kimball piano and organ
have merit and are eoM strictly on their
merits. Until within the past few years
the sale of the KI'mlbaJl pianos and organs
has been confined principally to the mid
dle, southern and western states, but
their sale has since been pushed into the
far east where over 300 dealers are now
handling theim with unparalleled success
In the iface of the so-cailled o'd-time man
ufacturers of New England, and the com
pany by this last move is bearding ithe
lon 1a his den. The sale of the Kimball
Is not confined to one county or state,
'but has the world for Its market.
Km'ball pianos and organs are modern
Instruments, possessing all the latest Im
provements, and are up to date in every
respect, and are used and endorsed by
a'.l the leading musicians of the day,
while certain so-called old line munu
facturers, being aeCfatlslied with their
own , egotism and conceit, have become
antiquated and are relegated. You want
a modem piano or organ, not an an
tiquity. For tunther evidence of the great su
periority of the Kimball in point of tone,
touch, material and construction, you
have but to call and see arid examine
the carloads of these cetebratvd Instru
ments now on sale. Respectfully,
L. V. MOORE,
Pacific Coast Representative.

HIT A TRAIN.
Lightning Transforms Engine and
Coaches Into a Train of 1 ire.
MldJUetown, Ohio, July 25. During the
electiricul storm, which, was so severe in
and about this city last evening, a west
bound train on the (Mlddletown & Cincin
nati railroad had a peculiar experience at
Monroe, just east of here, The train and
the storm seemed to collide about the
time Ithe station was reached, and for a
space of several minutes t'tife engine and
cars seemed to have been transformed
Into balls of fire.
The lightning played all over the en
gine and along the tops and sides of the
cars, little tongues of flame earning
to leap from one thousand different
p'.aces. The passengers' were badlly frigh
tened, but no One was hurt, with the
exception of M1ss Jewel Palmer, of this
city. Her left arm evfdemtly came In
contact with some A the Iron work of
the car, and she iwas severely shocked..
The shock frightened her, tout did not per
manently injure her, although her arm
nd leflt side were temporarily paralyzed.
BAlRK ARiAGO'S CREW.
San Francisco, July 25.-The case where
in the constutionallty of the federal ship-
pi IS flaws is lnvc.vtd 4s now being heard
in tliie United States district court here.
The suit in question is that by which
four alleged mutineers of the bark Aja-
go, Philip Olsen, John. Bradley, Morris
Hansen, and 'Robert Rolbsrt'son, seek their
liberty on the ground that they are being
held by the United Siutes marshal under
and old English laiwi which ' they claim
Is contrary to the tpirlt of (American lib
erty.
The charge against them is mutiny
They Shipped from this port originally
fcr the Columbia river, thence to Valpa
raiso and return. They ''deserted their
ship at Astoria, and, refused to go fur
ther. Then tlhey were arrested by the
United States marshal there and held in
'the Jail until the ship was ready to leave

As they still refused to work the ship

BULLS CAN COME.
Washington, July 25.-The treasury de
partment has declined to entertain a pro
test by the vice-president of the humane
society against the entry into the United
Statea of bulls and torreadors from Mex
ico fo.- bull fighting exhibitions at the
AtCarKia, Exposition. The secretary is
asked that the buKs be excluded on the
ground that they are Immoral instru
ments and the torreadors that their ad
mission would violate the eontract labor
law. ' " '!"'' '
Assistant Secretary Hamlfcie lif' reply
cites Section 10 of the. act of 1891, pro
hibiting the Importation o "any obscene
book, pamphlet, drawing, painting, lnstru
ment, or any other articles of immoral
nature." The letter then proceeds: "If,
as stated, the exhibition of bull fighting
is prohibited by the laws of Georgia, it
la 'expected that the authorities of the
state wOil prevent It, but the subject does
not oppear to come within the Jurisdiction
of the department."
THE CAPTAIN'S ACCOUNT.
Breakwater, JuQy 26. The schooner Car
rie A. Lane, which arrived here last
night and reported having een fired on
by a Spanish warship, is still anchored
eff the breakwater. Captain F. W. Quick,
commander of the schooner, seems to be
disposed to treat the matter lightly. He
said:
"The Lane cleared from Clerrfugos,
which is on the south side of Cuba, on
July 11. At J o'clock on the morning of
the 18th a steamer flying the Spanish
flag anchored near and fired a shot
across her bows. . The Lane was then a
mile and a half from shore and of course
within Spanish waters. We did not stop
at the first shot. Thereupon, the Spaniards
fired a setond shot, which passed about
twenty feet in tront of our bow and
struck the water beyond. Wo then lost
no time In heaving to. They then search
ed the vessel and finding no contraband
goods allowed us to go."..,.

NORDIC'A'S GREAT SUCCESS.
The 'American Singer Creates a Great
Sensaitloo In Bulbyreuth as "Elsa." '
The magnificent presentation 'of
"Lohengrin" at Babyreuth last Friday
was doubly marked, because it was the
first time "Lohengrin" was ever brought
out at then Wagnerian festivals, and.
second, because of ithe appearance of
Lillian Nonllca, the soprano, in the role
of Blsa, the first time an American
slng-.r has ever been Invited to partici
pate. Nordlca's success was marked.
The cable dispatches said:'
"Her performance was ths .first artistic
contribution that America has made for
the success of these festivals, and her
work today gave the Americans present
every reason -to be proud of her. No
native singer evur achieved a more pro
nounced triumph than did Mme. Nordica,
the first foreign singer to appear in so
important a part as Elsa."
It is interesting to know that Nordica's
preliminary rehearsing was to the ac
companiment f a Chicago made piano.
In a recent letter to a friend she wrote
as follows: "I do all my studying on
my Kimball piano and the longer I use
It the better I like it."-Chicago Tribune,
June 28.
