DeSth and dis ease are always looking for weak spots. If your stomach or your hver won't do its proper .work, if your body fails to get its full nourishment from the food you eat, and your bnyri loses part of the sleep it ought to have, no matter how big your framcand muscular your limbs may be, you will give out; disease will find the weak spot, and nature will give way. .

' The third trial of Williamson. Gesner aod Blgge, oa the charge of conspiring lo suborn perjury in connection with tioobsr-land entries in Crook county, ended on the night of Septeoibf-r 2! with a verdict of guilty. Time was granted their counsel in which to prepare nao- tiors iu arrest of judgment and far new trial and these motions were submitted this ruoroing without argument. They were overruled by the court nod sentence was impos ed, with the proviso that executioa shall be stayed until a bill of ex ceptions can be oo m pit ted, in prep aration for an appeal. It is the in tention ot the defendants to carry their case to the United States cir cuit court of appeals. As court was convened this morn ing at the unusually early bour of 9 o'clock, there were few onlookers at the proceedings. The three de fendants were present "with their counsel, Judge Bennett and H. 8. Wilson, and opposite them Bat the dist. att'y, Francis T. Heney. Judge Bennett informed the court that the motions for new trial and iu arrest of judgment would be submitted without argument. A brief discus sion ensued between court and counsel as to the queelioos involv ed and as to the lime ' that would ba required for completing the bill of exceptions which is the basis of the ontetnrrlrfrted-aialrT "The sentence of the court is that you' shall' be imprisoned for a peri od of 10 months and pay a fine of $500." . Congressman John N, William son listened with Eft features as" this sentence was pronounced : upon him this morning by Judge Hunt. A last futile tffort bad 'been- made by bis couocil to avert the impend ing judgment by the plea' that the sentence would interfere with the rertormance ol ins duties aa a member of congress. - The-objection was overruled. Squaring his ehould ers an if to' gather himself "t a meet the" ia1 petdlog b'ow, ' Williamson turned "to hear the pecalty of Lis violation of lbs law. .

The emperor of Russia and th emperor of Japan today signed then respective copies of the peace treaty, thus officially ending the war. A few minutes afteruoou. Minis Tor Takahira appeared at the state department with a message etatiog that the emperor of Japan had wgned the treaty at Tokio.

You have heard of cut pi ices on groceries, but cut prices oa pianos, how is it possible you ask. That is just it. Before such a thing could be effect ed there must have been a combin ation of very unusual conditions. In the first place it means buy ing'in largequantities, getting out ol the. small way of doing business. It means the cutting out of every useless and unnecessary expense. It means the shipment of pianos without boxes in special cars which saves big sums on freight charges. Then it means th1-. selling of pi anos so excellent and satisfactory, that the public demands them. We hav accomplished just these things. We buy for the largest and busiest stores on the Pacific Coast, in Portland, Astoria, Silem, Pendleton and Eugene, Ore.; Sari Francisco, Stockton and Oakland, Cal.- Spokane, S'sstt'e and Walla Walla, Wash.; Boise and Lewiston, Jtoano. We buy the bast pianos that money can secure. If we went all over the world with hundreds 6t thousands of dollars to spend on pianos, it would be impossible, ab solutely impossible to get better pi anos than we have to sell, eiiftply V because we have the best that mn-' ey-can buy, ChickeriDg, Wetwr, , Kimball and others, ' over ; ; thirty-. makes in all. ' " ' .' .. We have placed the selling of ur pianos. in the hands of Prof. Tail landier, head of the . piano depart ment of the Oregon Agricultural College. Prof. Taillandier's enure reliability and excellent -judgment are well known to the people of una vicinity. Piano buyers will doubt lees be glad of th opportunit to consult him in regard to their se lection of a piano. - H9 will be more than pleased to give you all the information dvir ed aod can be seen at his residence on College Hill on Saturdays and every evening of the . week, A telephone call will bring him to your house.

' Nw York,' Oct.- 13-That five persons have been cured of canc;r at the Flower hospital by the use of radium coatings on celluloid rods insertect": into . the diseased Uparts, was the substance of a pacr read last night by Dr. William H. Diffenbach, United States delegate to the International Medical Con ress at the Hague before-the Home- opathicT. .Medical w Society- of. .the county of JSew-Y-oxkM In only one of six cases which he treated, Dr. Diffenbach said, his effort, met with" defeat. In that case the disease was far advanced. ,. ' . - . ? Dr. Dieffen bach described -his-method of treatment in detail. It, consists " in -dipping celluloid or hard rubber rods in solutions of ealt of! radium. ' These rods are then inserted in incisions made- in tumors. The tendency-of the radi um, he said, was to destroy the tis sue. " There", were some hopeless cases, where the growths- were spread over large areas. Protessor Hugh Liebsr,- - of this city, has been experimenting in in jecting radium into the tissues with out the use of the rods or sheets of celluloid. He said that three esses of tumor . aad a cancer had been treated with remarkable success. ThiB marked a distinct advance in medical knowledge.- Though, at os Angeles, O ot. 14 W. A.

Five " lives are known to have been lost and more than thirty persons injured, some of them Eeriously, on the Cu nard Line steamer Campania last Wednesday, when . a gigantic wave rolled over the steamer and swept across a deck thick with steerage passengers. ' So sudden was the coming of the disaster and so great the confusion which attended and followed it that even the' officers of the steamer themselves were unable today, upon the vessel's arrival here, to estimate the full extent of the tragedy. r It is posEible that the five persons known ty .ba missing from the steerage may -not consti tute the full number of dead. John Graham, of Milwaukee, was one of. the passengers" washed over board and lost. The others who are known to have lost their lives were two Irish girls and- two other girl-?, 1 " ; ' The Campania was plo wine c! ng under full headway last .Wednes day afternoon.-A heavy quarter iog Eea was running, butj the wea ther conditions were far from, un pleasant, and the big boat's decks were crowded with passengers. Tbe steerage deck was covered with merrynoakerp, and there was noth ing to indicate the approaching dis aster, when suddenly the big steam er lurched to port and scooped up an enormous sea. The wave board ed the steamer about midships, on . the port side and swept clear across the tteerage deck, completely filliag the space between that deck and the deck above, and carrying every thing with it. The steamer's side was buried, and passengers on the deck above, the steeraga. were sub merged lo their waiets as the im mense volume of water rolled sft and then surged forward. All tae cabin passengers on the upper deck succeeded in clinging to sup ports while the waters 6urged around them, and were saved, but tbe unfortunates in the eteerage deck found themselves utterly help less. ...The irresistable rush of wa ter, sweeping toward the forward part of the ship, carried everything before it, Nettings," heavy railings and other obstructions which had been arranged near -the railings to prevent passengers from- being washed overboard, served their pur pose only ia part. So great wts the volume and force of rushing water that a door in . the rail wis smashed, and through this opening five of the helpless ones who had been . caught by the wave were swept to their death. Others were dashed against the -rails and other like obstructions and escaped death,, but many -? of them received severe Injuries.
