is nothing less than the collection Of
Indian relics of every sort and Of every

furnishing of "wIgwams" or sutamer
cottages. In the living room the proper
thing Is to have chairs, paddle backed
and easy, which are largely constructed
of weapons OF the chase and Indian
blankets. Those who do not possess
curios sufficient to form the foundation
Of their "wigwam" furniture have re-
course to the cablnet-makers art for
their chairs, sideboards and dressing
cases, with painted pipes, tomahawks
and paddles. The real thing, of course,
Is much more chic and expensive.
Indian blankets are used with good
effect as rugs and portieres, where
"wigwam" furnishings are used. a
pair of such blankets large and fine
enough to drape doorway costs 5000.
A Navajo saddle blanket for chair
covering or rug may be bought for $25
to $50. Paddles and carved trinkets
range in price according to the work

1t may be of pretty general interest
to know that it does not take much eau

fastened from the inside. The only
way In which a thief can beat a bolt

the panel of the door, and this is too
much of an operation when they cannot

MORE ROUGH ESTIMATES.
Correspondent Writes Concerning
photographic Project.

Charles E. Dove in a letter to the
ADVERTISER concerning the hello
graphic system, says:
The location of the sites would
necessitate first cost of $1,000 for
the survey. The permanent in
stallation would cost about $4,000,
and the running expenses would
amount, including interest at the
rate Of 10 per cent. on the capital
invested, to about $500 per month.
The distances between the respec-
tive points would be, from Oahu to
Molokai about 40 miles, from Molo-
kai to Maui about go miles, and
from Maui to Hawaii about 60
miles. I did not propose in the
first instance to establish commun-
ication with Kauai, but it of course
would be done if the business gave
promise of paying the necessary
expense.
These figures of course are only
approximate, as are the figures for
expenses, but I have data in my
possession by which [ can deter
mine the exact cost. The distances
cannot be ascertained more than
approximately without a survey.

some other neighboring cities Sunday

ent parts of the Redlands district recorded
from 20 to so as the lowest temperature
of the night. Highlands reports little or no
damage. Indications for last night were
for miller temperature.
Reports received from other districts are
to the effect that the Sunday wind storm
blew a number of oranges from the trees,
while some were bruised and thorned.
Those that were blown off were the un-
healthy fruit and the trees had been neg
lected. For this reason the loss is light.

POMONA BURGLAR CAPTURED
Constable Frank Shaker Does a Clever
Piece of Work
D.parture-Admirs tho Property in His
Possession Was Stolen

While the authorities of Santa Ana and
other outlying towns have been greatly
puzzled over the daring burglaries com.
mtted in their midst during the past
week, Constable Frank Shaker of Pomona
has been quietly working on a clue which
he discovered a few days ago, and yester-
day he arrived at the county jail with one
OF the bousebreakers in tow. Fred Hyde
was the name given by the prisoner when
he was booked yesterday afternoon. Hyde
was arrested on suspicion last week by
Officer Gilbert of Pomona, but there was
not sufficient evidence against the fellow
to hold him and he was accordinaly re-
leased. Constable Slanker saw Hyde at
the time, and reading the published &C.
counts of the recent burglaries at Santa
Ana, and remembering the statement that
Confederate bill was among the articles
stolen,A used that as a clue in identifying
the culprit.
Yesterday morning as Slanker was COM
ing to the city on the train he observed
Hyde, and connecting him with the re-
ported burglaries and also remembering
bis examination before the Pomona JUS
tice, conceived the idea of doing little
detective work, He got into conversa-
ton with Hyde, and after talking a while
asked him if he had the stuff with him.
Hyde became confused, but the assurance
of the officer baffled him, and he admitted
that he had. Slanker at once put him I'M
der arrest and brought him to the county
jail.
When he was searched great quantity
of valuable jewelry was found in his pos
session, including number of diamonds,
three ladies' gold watches, one gentleman's
gold watch and handkerchief full of mis-
cellaneous articles OF ewelry, gold spec ia
Gle frames. diamond jewelry and several
diamonds which had been removed from
their settings. Altogether the amount of
stolen property found on the prisoner would
be valued at seven or eight hundred dollars.
Hyde took his arrest very cOolly although
the evidence against him is exceedingly
strong. He did not confess to having COM
mitted any particular burglary, but adj
United that the goods found in his posses
sion were stolen. Further particulars Of
the burg aries at Pomona and elsewhere
Will undoubtedly establish his guilt.
