HOW TO MAKE JACKETS At HOME.
A Few Details Which Should Bo Consid-
cred Carefully.

Few "Details Which Should Be Consid-
cred Carefully.
In making outside jackets, for which
cloth is the usual material, the pieces
should be basted together with small
stitches, taken one at time, and the
seams should be narrow. The machine
stitching should be done with fine sew
ing silk, and the stitch should be long
to avoid cutting the goods. The stitched
seams must be pressed open over the
edge Of a board, and if the fabric is stiff
or springy the inside of the seam may
be moistened with a damp sponge be-
fore being pressed. The hot iron ought
to touch only the seam, and before the
goods are dampened water should be
sprinkled on separate scrap to make
sure that moisture does not change the
color. While passing the iron over ma
terial do not pull the stuff unless addi-
tional fullness is desired. The edge Of
the collar or other piece Of the garment
is sometimes stretched while being
ironed on purpose to curve it. The op-
posite effect is secured If hot iron is
placed upon the goods and left motion
less. Where bias strip is employed for
high collar the lower edge may be
thus stretched and the upper edge shrunk
to give the collar roundness.
The collar revers. lower part Of
sleeves and pocket flaps are lined with
tailor's linen, fine and not too stiff. and
bias strips Of the same material are

Of the jacket and around the lower edge
where the lines Of stretching are to run,
stitching forming the almost invariable
finish Of cloth coats and Jackets.
II there is to be lining, it must be
cut little larger and longer than the
jacket and should be added after the
garment is entirely finished otherwise,

M. O. Hall was the next witness,
and testified in regard to Stuckey's
financial condition. His salary since
Jan. 1, 1884, had been $500 year,
and was drawn regularly. He had
heard that the cashier was indebted
to different individuals to the mount
of $1,000 or more. He had~never seen
any promissOry notes, and all he
knew of the indebtedness was from
hearsay. Incidentally, Mr.. Hall OBJ
served that Stuckey owed the State
bank $500, which Was unsecured.

the State bank $4,000 when hefailed
and in order to secure assessment, it

,iOns; and to he determined closely
hy what the city needs and can
afford to have. Thcirsettlement and
adjustment are much easier than
when the question Of somebody"
personal pay is concerned.
While there ia considerable "the-
DRY" in the above. its consideration
may suggest the best means ut meet
ing the "conditiun that confronts
u.s."
In wider matters Of government
political parties take sides ana
make declarations on questi0ns OF
public policy. and by their admin
strations show whit they will do.
and what they deserve ut the hands
of the people. At present the Tran
script will simply cay that that ia
one method. and ut this time
will neither advise or discourage its
employment in Little Fails.
In many cities "good government"
clubs take active part in municipal
politics. hnt their aims arefrequently
toward some reform or condition in
dependent of public expenditure and
taxation.
In. Others there are 'cittzens' and
"business mems" organizations that
ATTEMPT to, exert their influence In
city affairs. generally in the direction
of lower expenses and decreased tax
en-. In some cities even all three
means are used to impress upon pub
lie affairs the ideas Of the members
OF I he different organizations. But
in very few cities ia there an entire
lack of organization or united effort
in directing the affairs Of the city, or
in aiding to select or elect good Of
ticials, or to defeat had onts. Such
organtza lions are a public benefit.
and through them public sentiment
finds expression.
The system of independent candi-
dacy ia too crude for a city ut the
size Of Little Falls as general rule.
While that general rule may not now
apply to Little Falls, it certainly ia
true that the business and taxpaying
interests of the city will find iugreat-
ly to their advantage to-, by some
organiza ton, urge the formation
and execution Of policy that will
decrease city expenses. 1t might he
that they would not need to go NO
far as to nominate or endorse candi-
dates, hut they could make public
expression which any candidate
would find it almost Indispensable t"
endorse before and after election.
Results are wanted. Whether n pub
lie meeting called by any individuals
who felt inclined to take a lead in
the matter; whether the chamber Of
commerce could fittingly lead in the
movement; whether some new organ
ization could be perfected that
could appropriately endeavor to act;
or whether present party Organiza-
tons should he called into activity
and authority; are all propositions
that have Il right to cOnsidero ton
in the necessary movement to obtain
the all-important results.
1t IS nearly eight weeks to election,
but the question is pressing enough
to receive the attention of the public
at this time. If any effort is made
by any organization to indicate In
what lines expenses can be reduced,
it's early formation will be necessary.
1t will probably he short time be-
fore public sentiment indicates what
move would meet with popular ap-
prevail, and meanwhile general con-
sideration of the question Is urged.

Peter G.. Pearson was the first wit

story was as follows:
II met Charles H. Stuckey. who Ia

to my house as Il bOurder. He went
under the name Of d. b. Williams

We had breakfast and he gave me
two letters from STICKY. One was
a kind of neighborly letter and the
other read: '.This will introduce you

$500. Ask him any questions you
want. He knows where the money

BOARD OF TRADE.


A meeting of the board Of trade was
held yesterday afternoon at the Office
of Mr.. w. d. Thomas. 1t was not very
largely attended but those present
were enthusiastic. In a general way
the prospects of the mines and other
matters pertaining to the advancement
OF the city were discussed.
A resolution was passed asking our
representatives in congress to aid in
every way possible the donation of aid
to the exposition Il be held in Omaha
in 1898, as follows:
Resolved: That it is the sense of
this board that every possible encour-
agement and aid should be given to the
promotion Of the transmississippi and
international exposition to be held at
Omaha in 1898; that we respectfully
recommend that the senator's and rep
resentatives from Wyoming in con-
grss support such movement for a lib
eral appropriation for a government
exhibit at such exposition: and that we
urge upon the legislature and the citi-
zen Of Wyoming early and vigorous
preparation for presenting the indus
tries and resources of Wyoming at
such exposition.
On motion a standing committee of
three, with power to add to the num-
Der, for the purpose of Offering induce
men's and attracting public meetings
and conventions to Laramie and also
to provide accommodations for same,
was ordered. The chair appointed
Messrs. Corthell, Thomas and Fitch.

j%ourned to meet on the 22d inst.

IN FROM THE MINES.

George Morgan and Robert Burk-
hardt came in from the Cooper Hill
mines today. They report work going
ahead on the Albion and Croesus in
the most satisfactory manner, and that
the mines are showing up better with
each succeeding day. IF l had that
pile of ore that has been taken from
the Albion over at Cripple Creek" said
Burkhardt. Il would not be able to
keep the capitalists away from me.
They would be tearing my clothes to
get the mine"
1t is thought to be impossible to get
a car of ore from the mines to the
track at the present time, as the con-
dition of the roads is very bad and the
snow very deep in the foothills and
mountains. This will be a disappoint-
ment, but it will do no harm to await
the opening Of the roads.

FOR WHEELMEN.
A Puncture-Proof Tire Invented by a
St. Louis Man.

Gustavus Heidel, a st. Louis inven-
tor, has evolved an impuncturable and
pumpless bicycle tire which bids fair
to drive the pneumatic affair out Of
usage, a y the Globe-Democrat. Mr..
Heidel's tire is not only positively
puncture-proof. but, inasmuch as 1t is
not inflated, it Toes not need armoring
as do all of the so-called puncture-
proof tires at present on the market.
This St. Louis invention has all the
life or residence Of the pneumatic arti-
Gle, combined with qualities of supe-
rior endurance and lightness. The tire
is composed of a spiral spring of fine
flexible steel, five-eigths of an inch
wide. This steel is first cased in a
duck covering and wound on a man
drill. A coating of rubber cement is
then applied and over this comes an
other coil of steel. Then rubber is APP
piled again, and the affair is allowed to
dry.
The second coil of steel covers over
the interstics between the coils of the
first, and finished article presents al
most a solid steel tube, which can be
fitted into any casing made for a rub
Der inner tube. 1t fits in a casing in
Just the same manner. with the excep-
tion Of the lacing. which must extend
all around. after the manner OF a New
York casing.
The necessary degree Of hardness is
impaired to the tire by the manner in
which 1t is laced. II a hard tire Is de-
sired 1t is laced tight; for a soft tire it
is laced loosely.
1t is unnecessary to point out what a
desirable thing a puncture-proof tire,
that retain all the lightness and resili-
ence Of the pneumatic affair, is to the
cycling world. Ever since the first tire
has been punctured it has been the
constant aim OF cycling geniuses to in
vent an imp%uncturable tire. While it
is quite possible to make any pneu-
matte tire im~puncturabie by putting
on a heavy facing. hard rubber or by
using steel wire as armor, such devices
have always detracted much from the
resiliency Of the tire. Mr.. Heidel's tire
derives its "life" from the very ma
terials which have rendered other tires
dead" Air plays no part II it con-
structioa. It derives its rssilfsncy

THE ICE CROP.

1t is not often that cold weather is
wished for to any great extent, but
just at the present time a real cold
snap of a couple Of days would be a
boon TO the Union Pacific and many
people of Laramie. The railroad still
wants a large quantity of ice and the
crop is becoming very short and very
thin. the high winds of the past few
days cutting it away very rapidly.
Mr.. knadler has already harvested
over 100 cars, giving work 10 a large

Made Upon a Shoshone Indian by Half
Breeds.

A special dispatch to the Cheyenne
Tribune of this morning says:
News reached this city early this
morning Of a c~old-blooded and deadly
assault, which was made by a party of
half-breeds and white men upon a Sho-
shone Indian. on th~ereservation near
Wind river, 80 miles north of this
place, on Sunday evening last. The
parties implicated are William Lamor-
eauX and Calvin Neill. half breeds, a
white man named O'DeIl and other
white men whose have not been
learned. The party shot the Shoshone,
fatally injuring him, and then they
stole his wife. The party Immediately
started north and it is believed are
striking for the Grow Indian agency
in Montana, or for the British posses
sions.
Agent Wilson of Fort Washable
sent a detachment of his Indian po-
lice in pursuit. One of the white men
vas captured tonight by the police,
who are still in pursuit of the balance
of the party. Agent Wilson has noti-
fed the officers along the Wyoming

may be intercepted.
THE cause of the shooting and kid
MAPPING of the squaw is not definitely
known here at this time, but the re-
turn of the police is expected in the
morning, at which time details of the
affair will be more fully learned"
