morning. Miss Bessie St. Germain. 22
years old. was bound hand and foot,
sagged with a handkerchief and left
King beneath a load of bedclothes
while the burglars ransacked the bu
reau drawers, tables and desks.
Miss St. Germain was not released
from her bonds ontll 10 o'clock this
morning, when Mrs. William Schaefer,
mistress of the house, entered her
room and found her.
The young woman was nearly suffo

load of bedclothes.
Attack la Meeoad Oae.
Miss St. Germain wore several :ings
set with valuable atones. None of these
was molested by the thieves. Appar
ently they were not burglars of the
ordinary type, and It Is the opinion of
the police that they sought something
other than money and Jewels.
This la the second sensational affair
In which Miss St. Germain has figured
In the last few months.
On the night of December 7 she was
attacked by soma unknown man near
her home on North Monroe and was
struck in the face with a bottle con
taining carbolic add.
The add severely burned the young
woman about the nose and both cheeks.
At this time the police were unable to
advance any plausible theory for the
brutal assault.

A gram. In the metric system now
employed for practically all sclent 111 c
weights and measures, amounts to
trifle less than one-twenty-eighth part
of an ounce; It balances not quite 15
trains. The grain was originally the
equivalent of a grain of wheat. That
was about the tiniest appreciable thing
the early English could conceive of
using when they undertook to weigh
out precious gold or such powerful
medicines as the dried and powdered
heart of a red-headed man killed
while fighting the tax collectors a
sovereign remedy for various Ills in
the esteem of many ancient apothe
caries.
Since then husbandry has improved
wheat quite noticeably, but the old
standards of one grain's equivalent in
relation to the dram and the ounce
haven't been altered. Now It is very
likely that ten or a dosen real instead
of theoretical wheat grains would
equal the metric gram and 300 real
grams would equal the 427 Vi theoreti

can imagine the gram. then, as weigh

Now. If the rhodamine dye classed

solution of water that there is present
less than one ten-billionth part of
gram of the weight of a dozen grains
of wheat, the eye can still detect the
coloration It produces. So. In a milli
gram of fifteen one-thousandths of a
gram's weight of water, the particle of
rolor substance would amount to
something leas than .000,000.000.040.

Disappearance of 3-Year-Old Child
and Cbaig in Son's Testimony
Are Features.
H1LLSBORO. Or April 6. (Special.)
The climax of the trial of the State
of Oregon against George F. Naylor,
on a statutory charge, was reached to
day, when Mrs. Miles Watrous failed
to produce In court her 3-year-old
daughter, Leilah, for the inspection of
the Jury. This ia the child that the
state contends Is the offspring of Nay
lor, and a subpena was served on the
mother two days ago to produce the
babe in court.
This morning the District Attorney
asked for the child's appearance, and'
when the mother said it was not here.
Judge F.akln Issued an order that the
little girl be produced in the afternoon.
When the State's Attorney again called.
Mrs. Watrous said she did not know
where the child was. and did not know
whether she could bring it Into court
or not. Judge Kakin issued another
order that the little girl be produced
by 10 o'clock Monday morning.
A modern piano business requires great financial resources. Eilers Music
House operates forty flourisHing stores, eacn one uevoiopui very rsuiiuy. m
spite of the fact that Eilers Music House employs a cash capital exceeding
13,500,000, the business Keeps on uowaiis bu mm wo umu
care of all that offers. . t . , , . ,
Toe thin reason onr board of directors eariy wis year aeciaea to cuscon-
ttno the least nrofitable department, which is the wholesaling to dealers.
Wo are no longer in the wholesale piano business. We no longer send out
instruments to dealers, waiting for them to sell them, and then again wait
ing for them to collect and remit to -us the payments aa made by the retail
customer.
MANY EVEN SOLD WHEEE THEY STOOD
In many little towns and cities, where we could readily dispose of our
stocks in dealers ' hands, we have done so. in many piaces, bowbto, i was
found more advantageous to ship all the instruments, -new and second-hand,
back to Portland. These are now here and they must now be disposed of right
away, together with all the pianos in our regular wholesale reserve stock.
We know that in order to sell out quickly this great wholesale stock, most
of them brand-new instruments, some slightly shopworn and some really used
pianos, that it cannot be done unless the most extraordinary concessions in
prices are made.
Hence the low prices, and hence, too, the easy terms of payment.
We have made arraneements so that any home that is at all worthy the
name can now have a piano. Never were pianos, of a higher grade and of
more dependable character offered than now. nanos inai we supply to tua
criminating dealers to sell again. Never were prices so close to actual cost
at material and woj-kmanshin. Bv making large contracts with each manu
facturer, Eilers Music House secures pianos for leas than can any other
existing musical instrument concern, and to dispose of these pianos quickly
we are offering them at wholesale and in most cases n less in an wnoiesaie.
We must have them out of the way!
A NEW PLAN OF EASIEST PAYMENTS, TOO
Nor do we ask all cash. But for the mere additional simple interest we
supply these pianos on littlest and easiest monthly or even weekly payments
so low that a newsboy, even, can buy one of these new instruments, particu
larly those of the less costly makes and styles.
There are three Chickering baby grands in this sale. There are some
Chickering uprights. There are a number of Kimball uprights, also some
Sohmers and some Deckers, three Hazeltons and a number of very fine Had
dorffs, and numerous other equally finely made and highly renowned makes.
SEE THESE SXTRE FOE ONLY $246
There will be found in this sale highest grade, new, warranted, beautifully
finished mahogany, mottled walnut and fancy figured oak-cased pianos for
onlv $246. which is less than half nrice and actually leas than dealers' whole
sale price. If customary first payment is made to show good faith we will
sell even these fine and costly new pianos on payments of 51 a weeK. bureiy
this means a niano for everv home that is really a home.
The regulation well-made, dependable, durable and sweet-toned usual $375
pianos are now only $195, and the smaller sizes ana plainer cases are siui jess.
It ia cheaper to bnv one of these uianos than to rent one ordinarily.
If you aim some time within the next three years or more to own a good
piano it will pay you to make even a substantial sacrifice now so as to secure
the benefit of the savings and advantages we now otter.
PLAYER PIANOS CAN BE HAD BY ALMOST ANYONE NOW ,
Think of being able to buy during this sale splendid new, modern, most
highly improved 88-note player pianos for only $435; for which the player
niano combine some time ago endeavored to force buyers to pay $750. And
at 8435 in this sale we supply free music rolls, and upon receiving a deposit
to show good faith we arrange payments on a new plan ot $z a wee ior mese.
It is no wonder that we are selling so many pianos, that our big automobile
trucks are kept out after hours making deliveries. The only wonder is that
we still have so many fine instruments left to choose from.
Make up your mind to this, that no matter how you may be situated you
can manage to get one of these pianos during this sale.
Whatever instrument is selected, low-priced or high-priced, xt carries witn
it the famous guarantee of Eilers Music House: "NO TRANSACTION IS
CONSIDERED AS COMPLETE WHICH DOES NOT MSAS SAIISI'AO
TION TO THE BUYER. MONEY BACK IF PURCHASE AFTER DELIV
ERY DOES NOT PROVE IN EVERY WAY SATISFACTORY OR AS REPRESENTED.
A 8ALB OF EIGHT DIOTOSALS.
Ot Particular Interest to Every Very
Fortfemlar Msnictaa.
Of the pianos furnished the great
grand opera artists daring their stay
in Portland there are eight of the latest
duotonal pianos. These Instruments
were used by the great artists and al
though It was understood that for pe
cuniary reasons open testimonial let
ters would not be issued by any of the
artists, we have received the heartiest
verbal expressions of highest apprecia
tion from all the artists who used them.
As a memento of the great event,
Portland's first grand opera, we are
including also these eight duotonal pi
anos in this closing-out sale; No. 50200,
used by Louise Berat (a $485 style),
goes -for $315. And another 46S style,
used by Maria Cavan, Is also $215.
A beautiful $600 style (No. 40832).
used by Mabel Riegelman, is reduced
to $3(5, and Helen Stanley's $550 mode:
(No. 4920S), is $345. There are also
several for $345 and one, Prancesca
Daddi's piano, the "most costly of all,
has been reduced to $385.
Thirty months' time will be given to
complete the payment of purchase price
of any of these instruments.
The duotonal system ia undoubtedly
the most marked and important im
provement in pianoforte construction
in many years.
It is so simple that one wonders why
it was never thought of before, yet the
improvement Is so marked that all who
have heard have declared that: "This
is the most wonderful piano X have
ever heard." It possesses a double
sounding board under tension on the
same principle as a violin. This dou
ble sounding board gives that deep,
rich, expressive 'cello quality of tone.
which has never yet been produced in i so that this instrument may be ;a!d to
any other piano. More than that, it possess an augmented concert grand
