Ss coc 2 It takes considerable care to keep a piano in good condition, but if the work is done a little at a time one does really not mind it. Occasionally the wires should be gently rubbed with a bit ef chamois skin or flannel cloth; a piece of soft muslin shoald be passed over the sounding board by means of a stout knitting needle, which should be used to slip it between the wires thus taking off allthe dust. Always keep camphor inside the piano case to serve as a means of protection against moths, Do not let the piano stand too of even temperature and should be opened for a short time each day, when not frequently in use. Do riot use polish on a case of your piano. When a sort of gloom appears: upon it or ‘it seems to look dingy, wash it with the finest toilet soap in luke-warm water, a little at a time, as you would washa baby’s face. Use a soft cloth, work upon a space not larger than your hand, rinse it off with clear water and rub it well with a clean polishing cloth. e@e Married at San Francisco, John J. Whitford of this city, an employe at the Champion mine, was married Tuesday at San Francisvo to Miss Laura A. Jones of that city. The young couple are well known here and their many friends wish them much happiness. They are both worthy people. ‘he groom is a son of Mrs. David Ashton of this city and the bride is the daughter of Mrs, Stevens who resides on Coyote street.

principally of Lawyers Devlin: and Phipps. As a business proposition that is in their own interest it is no wonder they want to see the battle between the miner and the farmer go on with greater vigor than ever. It is not to be expected that they will cease their agitation as long as there is a fat fee in sight. Colusa county is to be congratulated on having wit enough to keep its treasury locked against the delectable “Association.”’ MONEY FOR THE FOURTH. The Finance Committee Having Good ‘Success in Getting Subscriptions. It looks today as if Nevada City would have a Fourth of July celebration and a good one.

They told the Transcript at 3:30 that they: were well satisfied with resuits as the indications were that they would have no great difficulty in getting money enough. The subscriptions range from $50 downward. Tomorrow the committee will continue its labors. It will then be reinforced by C, J. Naffziger.
