THE PIANO SALES
STILL CONTINUE

Mr.. Rogers delivered three more
beautiful pianos Monday one in Athe-
ma, one in Weston and one in Pendle-
ton. Their business his been very
Eood indeed cor the past two or three
weeks. They want that business to
continue and especially during the re-
naming seven days of this sale. Amy
one who fails to purchase at this time
makes a mistake that they will realize
only too late. One had as well buy
piano now while the prices are so low
and the terms of payments so easy.
You are going to buy a piano some
time, so why not now? You will hard
ly miss the small monthly payments
necessary to place a beautiful piano
in your home.
Call at once at the Eilers Piano
House and avail yourself of this great
opportunity and at the same time con-
vince yourself that such prices and
terms have never been offered before
on high grade goods in Umatilla
county. We have a number of beau
tiful Kimballs left yet as well as some
fine Wesers and self-playing pianos,
etc. Do not fail to come at once and
select what you want, thereby bring
ing pleasure and happiness to your
home as well as giving your daugh-
ter the advantage of a fine new in
strument to practice on.

TWO CANDIDATES ACCEPTED.
Routine business, But Consider able
Interest

Last night the regular monthly
meeting OF the Commercial associa-
ton was held ard routiEe business
transacted. The session was presid-
cd over by President NJ. A. RAIDER,
and Charles Marsh acted as secre-
:ary pro tenn at the opening of the
meeting. Applications for member
ship from 7. G. Montgomery and DR..
E. II. Swinburne were received, both
heing voted in unanimously.
During the meeting DR.. c. ]. Smith
called attention TO the recent clean.
up crusade started by the women's
clubs and declared that good re-
suits had heen obtained and that
strong credit should be given the la
dies for their part in the movement.
Also, he predicted less typhoid this
summer than usual, partly because
OF the recent cleanup. However, the
doctor criticised the practice OF
sweeping the sidewalks in the morn
ings without first sprinkling the
same. In his judgment much disease
is spread through dust bein graised
in that manner and he urged that
walks should always be dampened
before being swept.

What proved to be a somewhat
spectacular point In the trial of Mrs.
Mabel warner, arose this afternoon
when with John McCourt upon the
stand Judge Fee sought to introduce
some letters received by the firm Of
McCourt d Phelps while acting as at
torneys for Mrs. Warner before the
discovery OF the alleged Will at Wes-
ton. The move was strongly objected
to by Attorney Winter for the defense
on the ground that the letters were
privileged communications, being let
ters from a client to an attorney.
In support of his position Judge Fee

in the nature of an admission on the
part of the defendant.
Denies His Signature.
While on the stand this afternoon
Mr.. McCourt was asked regarding his
signature to the will discovered in the
bank at Weston. He declared his
signature was a forgery and that he
had never signed as a witness to any
such document.
Mrs. r. E. Ringo. formerly Miss
Blanche Gulliford, and stenographer
witness this afternoon, and she testi-
fled that the alleged fraudulent Will
had not been written in the office in
which she was employed.
During the forenoon today Luther
Shellenberger testified that on the day
the alleged will was discovered he had
seen Mrs. Warner go to the Farmers
bank and that he had noticed her
drop an envelope to the sidewalk and
pick the same up. 1t was similar to
the one containing the alleged Will
and about an hour later ne recalled
the incident when he heard of the
discovery of the will.
During the trial yesterday after
noon b. B. Hall, cashier of the bank
at Weston and the administrator of
the Young estate, was the principal
witness examined. He was called
Immediately after the opening state
lnents had been made. In his testi-
mony Mr. Hall retold the incident in
the private room of the bank where
ir he said Mrs. Warner pretended to
discover the last will and testament
cf J. W. Young. but which, accord
ing to Hall, had been placed in the
box by Mrs. Warner herself while no
one was looking.
Following Mr.. Hall. r. VI. Powers,
tie pioneer attorney of Weston, took
the stand, but brought out little of
interest regarding the case.
TOday's Session.
AT the opening Of the trial this
morning, Paul Rullfinch. assistant ip
the Weston bank, was called to the
stand. He said that on the day of
the will episode Mrs. Warner had
appeared at the bank and told Mr..
Hal, she wanted to talk "horse."
She was accompanied by her hus.
band, child and brother, Fred Young.
The entire party retired to the pri-
vate room, Mr.. Hall taking with
bin the box in which the Young pa
pers were kept. According to Bull
finch he was called into the room by
Hall after the alleged will had been
found and he heard Dave Lavender
refuse to take the will from Mrs.
Warner and say he wished to have
nothing to do with it, telling her to
take 1t to her lawyer. He says Law
ender suggested giving It to Hall, but
that the latter refused the document
while Mrs. Warner also declined to
give Il to him. According to the
witness II was discovered, after the
party had left the bank that the key
in the OUTSIDE door to the private Of
| flee had been turned by someone
within, hut not by one of the bank
men.
Three Other Cases Heard
Aside from the Warner trial, three
other criminal cases occupied sotua
time in the circuit court this morning.
Mrs. Dollie Thompson, accused of
having obtained money under false
pretenses, was arraigned upon the
/ charge against her and made plea
of not guilty. She Is represented by
