Court, After Hearing Arguments For a New Trial, Fixes June 30th as Date When Young" Weber Pays the Pen alty Other News. fas Fine Light Sample Rooms. Hotel i Corvallis J. C. Earsrcei, Proj?. Auburn, April 13. Adolph We ber was sentenced to death today for the murder of his mother. 'I hope yon are not deceiving me, Mr. John6on." roese were Adolph Weber's words to his chief counsel shortly after Superior J udge Prewett pronounced the death pen alty and fixed the date of hanging at June 30, 1905. . Johnson had offered a wager with Sheriff Keena that the su preme court would grant a new tri al. 1 be sentence came at 4 o ciock this afternoon, after six hours of argument by the defense on their motioafor a new trial. When ask ed to stand up this morning, Weber faltered and had to be lifted up by Under Sheriff May. This afternoon when the court made the same re quest, Weber had to be urged to do so by his counsel. He seemed to have lost his indifference and self- composure. H9 was not defiant to day, neither - did - he display that contemptous smile he used eo fre quently during the trial. Weber is changed. Time is telling on hico. He is more pleasant to the officials and is more easily controlled by his attorneys. ' ' Indeed, he agreed with his coun sel to a settlement of the bank rob bery case, if it could- be arranged. This compromise was expected ; to be made this morning, bat for the balking of the young men, Geear, MonogiianWdDapender, who,' with Coroner Snepard, found the stolen bank money under the Weber barn . Toe proposition was that all suits ba dropped, that the $5,500 iound be returned to the estate and that the bank take judgment gainet the e-tate for $ 6,7U0. representing the full amount Ftolea with interest. A reward of $500 wa3 to be paid to Coroner Shepard, who would divide i with the others. ' - was run out over some of the heav iest grades, and otherwise tested as to it ability to maintain speed and power under tryiog conditions. Uoder all situations the new inven tion lias demonstrated itself to be a success, and there is no doubt' that it will prove itself worthy of the tri al from the time it is pat in . com mission in the Willamette -Valley.

Propaga tion of Eastern oysters in Oregon has begun. Yesterday a carload of hoe young oysters from Old Point Comfort, Va., arrived in Albany and wtre immediately sent over the Cjrvallis & Eastern to Yaquina Bay, whet e a two-acre bed had been prepared for them. For ' several years experiments with-Eastern oyster3 have been made at Yaquina Bay, and they wire very successful. Ths oysters not only grew rapidly and became folly developedljat they have the fine flavor of the be3t article from the Atlantic Coast. Those which were eent to the coast yesterday were the property of Dr. M. M. Da vis, of Newport, who.with "some others, owns several acres of the finest oyster beds on the Oregon Coast. - ' ' 1 ttri t . ' i wnne yesieroay s carioaa win plant but two acres of this bed, a like amount will bs planted each year until the entire tract is sup plied. As it takes four or five years for the young oysters to fully ma ture and be ready for market, this system will have fresh oysters com ieg on every year when once they bacome marketable. The men are going into oyster propagation as a business proposition and are confi dent of success. . In addition to the Atlantic Coast oyster, Dr. Davis is Tareparingi to plant a small bed of the big Hero shimo oyster from the Japan Coast. The conditions of the Pacific Coast are more like those ofv Japan than of the Atlantic seaboard, and it is possible that the big Japanese oys ter will do even better than the Old Point Comfort variety. since tnen T. -oaye: .cBansea . my mindi j Facta are coming'; to . light that make this case very, eerious: Public eentiment is rising and I find the charge against you is felo ny, and, if convicted T the penalty wilt-be from three to 20 years in the gtate penitentiary.

When the south sea bubble in Eng land collapsed one of the speculators went to Smyrna to repair his fortune. He was a fj-iend of Alexander Pope and sent him a box of figs in which had been placed a twig of a tree. Tope planted the twig on his groundson the shore of the Thames, not knowing of what tfee it was. It grew and was a weeping willow.. Ia 1775, when the tree was over fifty years old, one of the young British officers who came to Boston with theBritish army brought a twig from the tree, which he intend ed to plant on his lands after the re bellion had been crushed. John Parke Custis, son, of Mrs. Washington, going on errands to the British camp under a -flag of -truce, became acquainted with the owner of the willow twig, which was draped in oiled silk, and ob tained it from him, which he planted near his home at Abingdon, Va., where it became the progenitor f all the weeping willows in America. 2 For Yaquina: : Train leaves Albany. ......12:45 P .' . ; Corvallis...... 1:45 p. m ; ; ' arrives Yaqujna ...... t . 5 mo t. to i : .Returning: . - Leaves Yaquina .7:15 a. in Leaves Corvallis 11:30 a. m ; Arrives Albany .12:15 p. bj 3 Fcr Detroit: Leaves Corvallis.. 6:00 a. m.

Naturalists have duly recorded that that if a sea anemone be divided in halves longitudinally a new animal will in time be reproduced by each half, as Burning the anemone is kept in pure sea water. An old. zflSlogist relates how he watched an anemone which somehow or other had contrived to half swallow one of the valves of an oyster shell. Practically the shell struck in its giz zard and gradually cut its way down through the soft tissues of the anem one -until it halved the animal as by a partition. Perfect reproduction of two anemones through the division of one was noted to be the result of this accident. Even a fragment or two of an anemone body left attached to its rock may in due season reproduce a new body: London News. - , Resp&ftSf&Hity, $100,000 Deals in Foreign and Domestic Exchange.

Among the numerous superstitions of the Cossacks there is none stronger than the belief that they will enter heaven in a better state if they are per sonally clean at the time they are killed. Consequently before an expected battle they perform their toilets with scrupu lous care, dress themselves in clean garment3 and put on the best they have. This superstition Is not eonSned to the Cossr.clis alone, but is widely prevalent , in all branches of the Itus elan army. . .. 1 ' 1 .
