sUIsUN SUSPECTS.
Arrest of the Supposed Robbers of
Feraut's Saloon.

Three men are behind the bars at
Suisun, two Of whom. the local police
believe, held up and robbed the saloon
of Bertrand Feraut at Second and o
streets on Sunday night.
A telegram was received from the
Constable of Suisun last evening to
the effect that he had placed three sus-
picious characters under arrest, and
that two Of them tailed in every par
ticular with the descriptions given of
the men who robbed Feraut's place.
When arrested each Of the men had
q big revolver, and together they had
about S14, mostly in dimes and nickels.
Chief of Police Drew telegraphed the
Suisun authorities to hold the sus-
poets. and an officer win this morning
be detailed to bring them to this city.
Officers Ash and Douglas yesterday
morning arrested r. Dougherty on sus-
picion of knowing more about the rob-
berry than was proper, but Feraut
failed to identify him as one of the
robbers.
Captain Fisher and Officer Talbot
also arrested two men who gave the
names of Tom Jones and Jim Bradley,
but they were subsequently released
and escorted across the bridge into
Yolo County.
The police are convinced that the
Suisun authorities have the right men,

Breaking the Record
For Bedspread Selling.

Never before have we sold SO
many Bedspreads as lately. We
attribute it to the large assortment

AS a sample, we call attention to

RETURNS THE COMPLIMENT.
His Decoration of the Kbedive of
Egypt.

Some of the enemies of Ed" Little
tried recently to SOW the seeds of jeal-
ousy by intimating to Governor Leedy
that it was inappropriate that his
Private Secretary should receive pat
ents of nobility from the Egyptian
Government while he himself received
nothing. The Governor responded with
dignity that it was not within the prov
ince of the Chief Executive of q great
State like Kansas to receive honors
of this sort, but rather to bestow them,
and he forthwith ordered that letters
testamentary be forwarded to the Khe-
dive through the Egyptian Minister at
washington informing him that he had
been admitted to the Royal Order Of
P II. R. and L. P. of Kansas.
The letters testamentary were made
out on parchment and written in pur-
pie ink. On one corner was the pic
ture of a farmer throttling a dragon,
and on the other the representation of

Hills for Some Sport.

Under Sheriff Dave Reese, Deputy
Jack Hunters. James Robinson of Rou-
tier and. John Reese of F1orin have
been making a two days raid on the
quail and other wild beasts of FL Do
rado County. They reached Michigan
Bar yesterday on their return, from
which place one of the party telephoned
to Sheriff Johnson the result of the
trip, and it was:
Fifteen quail, two jack rabbits and
one polecat."
One of the Michigan Bar natives sub
sequently sent word that the quartet
of hunters were out in the rear Of
Heath's store quarreling over a divis-
ion of the spoils.
Hinters wanted Dave Reese to take
three quails, one of the rabbits and the
polecat as his share, but Reese insisted
on four of the birds and no polecat.
How the thing was settled will be
learned to-day when the hunters show

IA Hint to
Embroidery Workers.


A great defect in Embroidery
work is imperfect shading. 1t
spoils the effectiveness OF the
work. 1t is largely due to buying
materials where there is not a full
assortment of shades.
You will not experience that
trouble here. Our trade is so
great that we can afford to keep all
shades in embroidery materials
and of the qualities in use in all
the great art embroidery rooms.
And the prices are no more than
you pay elsewhere for the poorer
kinds.
