are flying gorgeously. Big flags and little
flags, banners and bannerettes, folds and
draperies, streamers and stars, all con-
tribute to make up a bewildering effect, at
once symmetrical and varied.
Ed Radke, the jeweler, is one of the
merchants who found new way to ar
range the carnival bunting. The drapery
in his windows is unique and artistic in
design.
Comrade J. D. White never forgets "Old
Glory" and, as might be expected, a fine
flag harmonizes with and sets off the car
nival-colored bunting in his window.
D. Jonas makes the background of his
two large show-windows much improved
by putfings and drapings of carnival colors.
These windows are so slightly as to scarcely
need adornment further.
Kurokawa has the very prettiest of avn
ings, all made of multi-colored bits, which
futter gaily in the wind and enliven lower
Pacific avenue.
The Arcade has probably the most chaste
and artistic window in town. The dra-
peries, of carnival colors, are drawn back
to form deep recess, back of which is a
plate mirror. The beautiful costume in
carnival colors, which stands alone in this
window, was made by Miss Staudacher.
At Leask & Johnston's seaside store
three large half-hoops form sunbursts of
white and yellow on the awning, while in
the windows are the daintiest displays of
carnival combinations.
Messrs Bernheim & Co. have four fine
windows with trimmings of carnival colors.

in the few remaining places where they
were needed. Standing at one end of Pa
cific avenue and looking down the street,
with their maze of fiuttering banners, the
graceful festoons, flags floating IN the
breezes and the long lines of decorated
poles, with the yellow and white ship
yards, the sight is a grand one. The grand
arch and Rialto bridge is in position at the
foot of Pacific avenue, below Beach Hill,
and every person arriving in the city,
either by rail or steamer, will pass under
it.
The liveliest portion of the city is the
depot when the trains arrive. The grounds
are crowded with vehicles of every sort,
with people who are there to greet friends.
The trains were all crowded with visitors.
There is plenty of room for all, as the

O'Clock this afternoon, by S. B. Kennel, his
former partner. The shooting was done
SO quickly that few were made aware of
the tragedy outside OF those in the build
ing with Lawson until after Kennel had
been lodged in the County Jail.
Kennel has had some trouble with Law
son for some time over business matters.
and they were at swords points. Kennet
says that many times he has essaved to get
an interview out OF Lawson in vain, much
less settlement. He was determined 1o
get settlement this afternoon. He went
INTO LaWson's office and took a seat oppo-
SITE the table at which Lawson was sitting.
All Of sudden Lawson exclaimed:
You -, what do you want here?"
Kennel said that Lawson struck at him.
and thinking the detective might get the
drop on him he pulled out 38-caliper re-
volver and began shooting. He fired three
times, and Lawson fell dead.
Deputy Sheriff Kearney, who was in an
adjacent room in the building. rushed tn
the door and apprehended Kennel inst ss

Kennel made no resistance to the arrest.

Kearney.

dict of Guilt in a Riverside
Murder Case.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, June TO-
The trial of Mrs. Kate Barnes, charged
with poisoning her husband. reached an
unexpected and sensational end this after
noon. District Attorney Daley abandoned
the case, saying the State was not able to
convict, and Judge Campbell instructed
the Jury to return a verdict of not guilty,
which was done, and Mrs. Barnes went
free.
After alegal battle between the attorneys
on each side, which lasted from the open
ing of court this morning until 80 O clock
this afternoon, the court decided that the
confession of Mrs. Barnes on the day fol-
lowing her arrest last November could not
be admitted, for the reason that she made
it under the hope and the implied promise
that her punishment would be lighter.
Under this ruling, her subsequent confes-
sions to private individuals could not be ad-
mitted. The District Attorneythereupon an
nounced that he would be unable TO secure
conviction without the testimony con-
tanned in the confessions.
The facts are that when members of the
Odd Fellows and knights of Pythias
lodges first came to the former District
Attorney with the charges he could not
and did not believe the woman guilty and
his idea was to convict Salter, her lover,
on Mrs. Barnes testimony. In this way
the confession was made.
There was a scene in the courtroom
when the Judge instructed the jury to
acquit the prisoner. She shook violently
with emotion for a minute or more Then
three women, who had been her stanch
friends, stepped inside the bar, and for the
next minute there was intermingling of
tears, laughter and OSCILLATION, which
bordered on the hysterical, the husband
whom the woman had poisoned being be-
side himself with joy. Three minutes
later, when the jury returned, Mrs. Barnes
underwent another long paroxysm, and,
recovering herself, shook hands with each
Juror.
