ADVANCE Against THE AFRIDIS.
1t Has Been Postponed by Gen. Sir Will
lam Lock hart to October 8.

lam LOCkh8rt to OCTOBER d,
Simla, Sept 24-Owing to the pro-
tracted campaign against the Moh-
mands, General Sir William Lockhart,
commander of the Punjab frontier force
and in supreme control of the punitive
operations, has decided to postpone the
general advance against the Afridis and
Tieha, their summer headquarters, until
October 8.
The Afridis are encamped in a strong
position on rugged plateau which it
will be most difficult to scale and they
are assembled there In great force.
According to intelligence received
from Samana an advance body of over
1000 of the enemy has arrived in the
Khanki valley and is watching the
movements of the British troops. The
Afridis are spreading report that the
Ameer Of Afghanistan has demanded
hostages for them and will help them
if hostages are given.
The news of the Mohmand expedition
is very unsatisfactory.
1t appears that they lost over seventy
killed and a large number wounded dur
ing the night attack on Sir Bindon
Blood's column, their heavy defeat de-
stroying their faith in the Mullahs who
had promised to close the muzzles of
the British guns by divine means
London, Sept. 25-According to spe-
cial dispatches from Simla the British,
who on Wednesday captured Badmanai
Pass, held by the Haddah Mullah with
large force of Mohmands and Shinaris
have passed on from the pass and with
| out opposition have occupied Jarobi, the
village and headquarters of the Haddah
Mullah, who has fled.
1t is believed that the capture of the
village and the flight of the priest will
break the back of the opposition of the
tribesmen to the further advance of the
British.

HOW TO MAKE COMFORTABLE.
Few city housekeepers have ever seen a quilting

only when the blanket is stretched in the frame
IL is woven in that IL is large this. After it
Is taken from the frame il only measures two
yards eight inches by from two yards and half

sometimes found in fine California blankets. The
average blanket actually about two
yards by two and a half In width, and often less
in length.

two and three-quarters yards in length be

a half yards Of colored cheesecloth in some dainty
pattern at five cents yard. and about two rolls of
patent cotton batting. and twenty-five cents worth
OF Germantown wool in q color to match the pat
tern of the cheesecloth.
Allow five breadths Of cheesecoth, each yard
wide. for the cover. Cut breadth in two.

strips of wood which stretch 1t out to full

Tack the two together with the Germantown wool,
placing the tufts in rows twelve inches apart; but
