EILfRS PIANO HOUSE
HAS TAKEN WALLA WAlLA az
STORM-LARGE STOCK, LOW
PRICES AND EASY TERMS
THEIR CLOSING OUT
SALE HAS CAUSED
CONNECTION.

Never in the history of Walla Walla
has there been such a commotion in
the piano trade. caused by Eilers' clos
ing out sale. AS they are responsible
for theis upheaval, naturally the trend
of piano buyers is toward Eilers' Pr
ano House. 1t is another illustration
of shrewd buyers taking advantage OF
bargains that are offered on staple
goods.
When such art and standard pi-
amos as the Oh ckering, Weber,
Steck, Hazelton, Decker, Haddorff,
Hobart M. Cable, Lester and many
others are offered to the music low
ers at the prices prevailing to close
out their immense stock, it is not
ural that the pinos are meeting with
such ready sale. Everybody knows
that there is no question as to the
quality of the goods, and the standing
of Eilers name is a guarantee of good
faith and the ready response OF
! piano purchasers is en- indication OF
the confidence in which they are held
by the public.
If you want to be benefited by the
prices prevailing in this closing out
| sale, don't delay matters, but come
in at once. Any piano you would
select today might be gone tomorrow.

Lessons of the Japanese War.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.--The
announcement has just been made that
the new manual for the sabre and
bayonet drills Of the army, on which
the officers Of the general STAFF have
been working for some weeks, will
soon be given out. Hitherto these
manuals have called for much skill on
the part Of the enlisted men, so much,
indeed, that few Of them were ever
able 10 acquire the art Of welding
either weapon in a satisfactory man
ner. IL is proposed TO omit from the
new manuals everything Of a fancy
fencing character, such as is taught
in the private drill rooms. IL is in.
tended that there shall be a return to
the simplest methods, and that every
thing shall be on the most practical
and useful basis. Both weapons are
intended for use in time Of war, espe-
cially the bayonet The officers who
have been on duty in Manchuria with
the Russian and japanese armies have

Cunningham, Of the navy, who is an

advice along the line indicated. The

Strong Evidence in Murder Case.

Strong Evidence in Murder Case.
Grants Pass, Or, Sept. 29.-Because
Of the crowded condition Of Josephine
county's Jail, Dora Jennings, daughter
Of n. n. Jennings, who. with her broth
er, are under arrest for the murder Of
their father, was yesterday conveyed
20 the jackson county Jail, at Jackson
vile. The girl and boy will both be
tried, if all the witnesses can be gath.
cred in time, at the present session Of
court.
The arrest is the elimination Of a
secret investigation that had been in
progress since the discovery Of the
body of the old man. District Attorney
Reames was confident from the first,
as were other officers that the girl and
boy were mixed up in the crime, but it
was impossible at first to secure sufi-
cient evidence to warrant their being
taken into custody.
Both the girl and her brother deny
all knowledge Of the crime, further
than the discovering Of the body the
morning following the killing. But the
fact Of their being in the same house,
and in the same room in which the old
man was killed, as well as the finding
Of the revolver in their possession that
corresponded to that from which the
bullet that killed Jennings was fred,
is considered by tho district attorney
as conclusive evidence that the two
are aware Of every detail Of the bloody
tragedy.

GOULD WON'T HAVE 1T.
Suggests Another Man for Collector in
San Domingo.

Baltimore, April William B.
Gould, of this city. who was appointed
by the president as deputy collector
Of customs in San Domingo, formally
announced today that he has declined
the place.
Washington, April lit is quite
probable that when Secretary Taft
returns he viii designate G. r. Cotton
as chief of the Dominican collection
service and that three or more assist
ants who have had some experience
in the insular possessions will be ap-
pointed to perform the work of col
lecting the Dominican revenues under
Mr.. Colton's supervision. DR.. William
E Gould. of Baltimore, after discuss
ing the matter with officials here, an
nounced that he believed better results
would be obtained by the selection of
a man like Cotton for chief of the
service because of the experience Col
ton has had in the Philippines and his
familiarity with the people. who are
similar to those in San Domingo. DR..
GOuld's position was that the selection
of the man should be made with re-
gard to the interests of the govern
ment, and for that reason he will not
accept the position. DR.. Gould could
have had one of the subordinate po-
sitions, but he did not care to go to
San Domingo in that capacity.
