A GREAT SALE
MANY ARE PROFITING BY IT
FINEST PIANOS GOING FOR
A SONG.
Pianos Not Damaged by Fire or
Water. But Only Mnrrcd ON Cases,
Which in Many Is Hardly Notice
able-Payments Modcrate-List of
Buyers to Date.

The recent fire in Pendleton is
proving a matter of good fortune to
many a music-loving family here and
hereabouts The pianos which were
in the store of Gordon & Guersney in
the LaDow block when the recent
fire broke out, were all more or less
scratched in the hurry of removing
them from the building. Fortunate
ly the interior of the pianos were not
injured at all-tone, action and keys
are as good as they ever We're.
The loss has been generously ad-
justed by the insurance companies,
and the pianos which were purchased
outright from Gordon & Guernsey by
Eilers Piano House, are now being
sold for just enough to make them
whole in the transaction. This re-
duces prices on all of them a full
third, and on many of them even
half of what the original selling price
was. To date the following well
known people of this city have taken
advantage of this unusual opportu-
nifty:
Mr.. Il. A. Morton, very handsome
Hobart NJ Gable. i'm a rich mahoga-
one of the finest makes in the country
today. and any one who secures one
is certain of having a very satsfac-
tory instrument. This is the make
that Mr.. U. w. Beeman selected. 1t
also is cased in mahogany and is very
handsome. Another Hobart NJ. Gable
was selected for the home of Mr.. II.
Il. Hampton, very fine kimball In
a French walnut case was selected
by Mrs. A. A. Miller. beautiful mot
tied walnut cased Weaver went to the
home of w. u. Pemberton, and Mr..
Il. E. Manning purchased striking
ly handsome mahogany cased Whee-
Ter.
Beautiful golden oak cased Kim
ball was sold to MIR. f. j. Crawford,
and still another fine Kimball to Mr..
+. r. McEllegott, of La Grande. Miss
Lizzie Owens of Adams, secured
beautiful golden oak Schumann, and
Mr.. ]. A. Mills, of Hunts Junction,
secured fine burl walnut Kimball.
Also Louis L. Putnam, of lone, Or,
purchased fine burl walnut Kimball
piano, and then Mr.. f. c. Durant, OF
Lexington, secured another of the
beautiful Kimballs.
Only a limited number of these
bargains remain. But what there are
are fully as good in every respect as
those already sold. Bear in mind,
| only a small payment down secures
! one. the remainder of the purchase
to be made in moderate monthly in
stallments. Every instrument guar
anteed just as represented, or no sale.

MASON AND DIxON's
 LINE RESTORED,


 Relic lovers will be interested in the fact that the line between Pennsylva- mia and Maryland. marked out by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in 176S, has been resurveyed. A Pennsyl- vania exchange says:
 The resurvey of the historic Mason and Dixon line has been completed by the surveyors jointly employed by the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland. When the Legislatures of these States decided not to allow the famous bound ary line to lose it's markings and drop out of existence. so far as visible signs are concerned, they undertook work that proved difficult and tedious.
 The surveyors were obliged to cut a path through the mountains, and they found many of the old markers and crown stones displaced. In Adams County, Pennsylvania, one stone was used as a door sill in a dwelling. an other in a church, some had been used in bake ovens and others were lying at considerable distances from their orig inal places. All were recovered. al- though not without vigorous objection on the part of the people who were us- ing them.

WOMAN LECTURER ON SUBJECT
 DE toEHE EARTH IS FLAT

OF "THE EARTH IS FLAT" I guess some one will advocate a theory next that the earth Is a balloon and we are living in the middle of 1t. while it Is suspended securely from something not yet discovered. That would be no more astonishing a prop osition to the human family that has accepted the Columbus notion that the earth Is round, than Is that of Lady Blounts to prove that the earth Is flat. D. :. ":.*
 A London special in The New York Tribune says: :
 La1y Blount, wife of Sir Walter Blount bart, and chief champion of the fiat earth" theory. is preparing for visit to the United States. Accom- panied by her private secretary, Dr. c. De Lacy Evans, Ph. D.. NJ. R. c. g., Lady B1ount leaves England early in August, hoping before her return to convince large numbers of Americans that the familiar doctrine of Columbus
 in regard to the earth's shape is an absurd fallacy New York will be the first place visited, and from there her ladyship will go West as far as Chi cago, stopping at most of the principal intermediate cities to deliver lectures and distribute literature.
 Lady Blounts principal fad for number of years has been this belief that we are living on a vast floating surface with a secure anchorage. ln- trenched behind some clever arguments she has carried on relentless war against the orthodox teachings of sci ence from platform and in her writings. declaring that nothing is farther from the truth than astronomy as 1t Is now taught At considerable expense she has made interesting tests to disprove the "globular'' idea. and is perfectly willing to undertake the American cam paign without any guarantee of out side financial help. .:.
 Lady Blounts doctrine has been ac- cepted by many people in England and the United States. These believers she has organized into The Universal Ze- tetic Society,"" and for some time Lady Blount has been that soCiety's presi- dent. Dr. Evans is vicepresident.
 Besides being a scientist Lady Blount is an accomplished musician as well as verse writer of some skill Some of her verses are set to music of her own composition.
