Grant's Pass, Or.,Oct .28 A fea ture of the recent investigation ma je into tie Jennings' murder mystery . of Granite Hill, mining camp, to solve the question of - who murdered N. M.-Jennings, the aged wood con tractors - is damaging to Jasper Jennings, eon. of the murd ered man. - The boy has said .that his sister committed the crime, but it has been found that the blood stained tracks over the ifioor of the room in which the old man - was killed, aid which lid over the door step and across' the " yard, were tracks of a man. They could not have been made by 'Dora Jennings, whom Jasper says killed her father because she hated him. To account for the tracks the' boy declares his istsr wore bis shoe3 over her own? that the blame for the crime might be laid at Jasper's door. Bat the girl denies all knowl edge of this.Jasperaaye bis sister stole into the cabin where he and a com panion slept late at night, stealing both his rifla and bis ehoes. Bet the door of the boy's cabin opens with difficulty, and its ruaty hinges screech loudly. It seems improba ble that the door could have been opened without one or both of the boys hearing it. ' Interest in the case is growing, and there is a change in the feeling of the general public toward the girl. She will eay absolutely noth ing concerning the crime, while the boy talks freely, though his confes sion tends toward shifting the blame upon his sister. Seattle, OzX. 27.

A St. Peters burg dispatch' to- the Sunday Ob server says it is rumored that Ad miral Binlon, minister of Marine, and Admiral Chucaine have been killed by bombs. -r The bulk of the population be lieves that the imperial family fled after the czir bad invested Count Witts with full power. Meanwhile the situation is pass ing from bad to worse, with mat ters at the moment in a state of un stable equllbrium. The chiefs of state are at a loss bow to act, and the revolutionists, encouraged by the inactivity of tte government, are growing bolder and more insist ent in the demands made in their speeches. As before Friday night s giant meetinsr at the university, it was again announced today that for ther meetings there would not be permitted, but the college portals weru again open tonight and the hospitality of the university was extended to a group of lawyers and other professional menj-one of whose orators, referring to tne old kub sian folk-legend that tne world is supported on- the backs- of three whales, said that the autocracy rested on three cetacea money, the army and the loyalty of the people but that . Russia is now bankrupt and the moral sympathy of the people alienated, and that the army alone remains true, and this, he predicted, would not be long.

" '-'-..-; . - - ." :'- Count Wittb's ally in the stu pendous task he is about to take will be General Treepoff, who, though all of his life has been spent as an instrument of oppres sion and though be twice has es caped attempts by the terrorists' in' struments of death, has come to re alize that the old order of things is changing and giving p'.ace to a new, and is now a geouine convert to the policy of giving the people a share in the government. The best opinion that nothing will eave the present government from complete ruin. Many shrewd ed observers believe that Wltte comeB too late. The condition in St. Petersburg is that cf on9 fairly under siege and one with surprises threatened from within, almost completely isolated and its scanty store tf provisions being rapidly exhausttd. The campfires of the soldiers who are bivouacking in the streets, light up the tboroughfarfls where electricity has been extinguished. The situation at Moscow paral lels that in St. Petersburg. The same paralysis has seized Russian's second city. The strike is general. Tbev people are defiinj; all inhibi tions and are swarming to ifa uni versities and other mwting places. A pi ovisional government has al ready been organized and is wait ing to exercise its powers. The university ia barricaded against the troops. ; One hundred persons wounded is the record of the fighting iuMoecow that has occurred tonight. Of these many will die. .Frequent collisions between strikers and, the troops have occurred and blool has- been spilled freely by the soldiers in dis persing the bands of citizens. Lexidgton, Ky., Oct. 27. Spe;d ing at the rate of 50 miles an hour, a passenger train on the Louisville Southern early tonight plucged through a covered bridge over South Elkhorn Creek, eight miles west of this city. The tender, baggage, mail and smoking cars were smash ed to kindling and the bridge, 150 feet long and 45 feet high, was destroyed.- The debris, wedged tight ly together, has formed a aam and dynamite has been used to clear it away. Many passengers are! not ' ac counted for, but so far nodeadhave been taken from the wreck, but ten PIANOS AT SMALL PRICES. The Eilers way of Selling and why they can do it A few Figures that Illustrate how it can be done Your Opportunity to get a Piano No Home Need be Without one. Cut rates on pianos I You have heard of cut prices on groceries, but cut prices on pianos, -how is it possible you ask. That is lust it. Before Buch 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 large quantities, getting out of 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 epecial cars which saves big sums on freight charges. Then it means the selling of pi anos so excellent and satisfactory, that the public demands them. We have accomplished just these things. We buy tor' the largesjt and busiest storey on the Pacific Coast, in Portlarid, Astoria, Salem, Pendleton add Eugene, Ore; San Francisco! 'Stockton and Oakland, Cal.; Sf ohane, Seattle and Walla Walla, Wash.; Boise and Lewiston, Ilaha. - " We buy the best pianos that money can secure. If we went all over the world with hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on injured recovered, six of whom may die. Eight negroes riding in the smoker have not been seen since the wreck, and are believed to be in the debris. The accident was caused by the tender's leaving the track and de railing the coaches behind it, throw ing them onto the sides of the bridge. Harrisburg, Or., Oct. 26, Geo McMlllan was drowned in the Wil lamette River about one and one half miles couth west of this pity Tuesday. Judge McFaddenj'ef Corvallis, had him employed as foreman on his farm situated on the west side of the river, near the railroad bridge. Tuesday he cross ed onto an island nearby to look af ter the Judge's cattle and not re turning up to Wednesday noon, a searching ; party was" organized which continued the hunt until Thursday. It appeared McMillan had undertaken to cross the river at a point where, the water is 2O feet deep, bordered by a bluff bask of loose gravel. The supposition, is that, upon entering the water his horse turned a summersault, send ing him to the bottom. This morning a successful enort was made to recover the body. A coil of barbid fencing wire was pay ed out where the body was suppos ed to be and the first haul was suc cessful. His watch stopped at 1:30 o'clock and about the same time Tuesday his horse was Been on the island " "Good evening, gentleman, Kind ly raise up your hands and line up behind the stove." With these words two highway men, their faces covered withmaBk6 pushed open the barroom door of the Pacific Hotel, at 10th and Quim by streets, ' at 7 o'clock last night. While the taller of the two covered the occupants of the room with two revolvers, compelling all to line up against the wall,ythe shorter robbed the money till behind the bar of $6 and took a silver watch from V. A. Cook, the bartender. Twelve men, includirg two bar tenders V. A. Cook and Frank Cook, and the pioprietor of the ho tel, W. H. Lehman, were in the barroom when the highwaymen en fcredw 03e of the patrons of the hotel, when, the thaga tntered the plice, jumped fioai a chair near the entrance to the dining ropm, and rushiog through bsfore ha could be stopped, shouted, "The p?aos is be ing held up!" ' ' A great shout of laughter weut up at the ludicrous appearaHce oi the excited man, and he was laugh ed out of the rooml the supposed huge joke of a barroom full of men being held up. The uproar in the dining room frightened the high waymen, not, however, until they had robbed the till and taken' Mr'. Cook's watcb. As the laughter died away la the dining room, the man who was cov ering the room full of men with his revolvers commanded hi3 compan ion to stop. .As the shorter backed out of the door, the master of the pianos, it would be impossible, ab solutely impossible to get better pi anos than we have to sell, simply, because we have the best that mon ey can buy, Chickering, Weber,.. Kimball and others, over thirty makes in all. We have placed the selling of out pianos in the hands of Prof. Tail landier, head of the piano . depart ment of the Oregon Agricultural College. Trof. Taillandier'a entire reliability and excellent judgment are well known to the people of this vicinity, fiano buyers will doubt less be glad of the opportunity to consult him in regard to their se lection of a piano.

For sale by Graham & Worthan situation bade the occupants of the"s room good-night, and the two dis appeared in the darkness. , . The hold-up was the most dariog that has been perpetrated in Port land for months. The coolheaded manner io which the trick was turn ed, notwithstanding that it was at an early hour of the evening, con vinced the inmat$3 of the hotel that the hold-up was not being done by amateurs. Not a man offered resistance r r showed signs of battle as the lig robber in a well modulated voice -simply requested the I2 to raise their bands and line up against the wall. A wild scramble followed to comply with the request as quickly as possible, but as the door to ti e dining room, which leads into the saloon, was closed when the fright ened informant rushed through, the noise was not heard. The Cook brothers walked from behind tbe bar at a demand from ths big man and took their places at the end of tbe line against the wall. aiciiig Powder I lightest mosl :asty hot biscuit : " t delicious and
