dalton on that side. Take another
piece of different color and sew along
the other side of the black, to cover the
remaining muslin. At the corner, let
one color overlap the other diagonally,
hemming it down upon the right side.
From the inner end of this diagonal line
make several stitches upon the black
in fan shape with bright-colored floss.
This completes the block.
Plan the size of pillow that you wish
to make, and then piece as many blocks
as will be required. Twenty or %
inches makes a good-sized pillow, and
for the latter 121 blocks will be needed.
AS different colors are employed, any
odds and ends can be made use of.
The pillow is handsomely set off by a
wide bias ruffle of black silk or goods
like that used in the corner of each
block. Or this rufie can be made of
ribbon. If there is not sufficient of
the black goods for the ruffie, the edge
can be finished with a cord, and the
underside of the pillow can be made
of any available material, or like the

must appear before Judge Eallett for
the purpose of receiving their sentences.
This fact being generally known, there
were number of callers at Millers
quarters yesterday and he received
them with accustomed urbanity. He
was attired in a drab smoking Jacket,
gray vest and trousers, low collar and
brown necktie, and wore slippers. On
his table were a bouquet of roses, half
a dozen books and several apples.

WILL FIGHT AT CARSON.
Corbett -Fitzsimmons Mill Will Take
Place at the Capital of Nevada

San Francisco, Jan. est is almost a
fOregone conclusion that the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight will take place in
Nevada, and it is about equally as GER
tain that the ring will be pitched in
Carson. Everything points to the veri-
ficatiOn of this dual prophecy.
No opposition to the measure was
manifested in the upper house and the
vast array of Nevadans who are favor
able to the measure voice the opinion
that it will go through without a strug-
gle. A number of Carson clergymen
will lend their moral support to the op-
ponents of the scheme, but the friends
of the bill are not worried over the out
look They claim that public sentiment
is too strong to be. combatted and that
a vote in Carson alone would develop
that fact that 80 persons oNt of every
hundred want the championship of the
world to be decided in that section of
the country.
The Carson people are working like
beavers with a view of securing the
fight and while Reno and Virginia City
have claims to put forward, it is ad-
mitted on every side that Carson stands
the best chance of capturing the con-
test.

South Dakota Man Shoots at Doctor
Who Initiates Ian Maclaren.

Westfield S. D., jan 2S.-Dr. ]. A. Nc
Gurth is a Westfield physician. He
greatly admires the Crockett Barrie Mac
laren style of literature, and frequently
borrows from the vocabulary of these
masters in addressing his friends Fin
ally this habit got him into trouble. He
met Dick Hutchell, a cattle man, living
some distance north of town, and greeted
him in his favorite dialect. Dick is a
plain man. untraveled, unlettered and IA
miliar with no dialect but that of the
ranges on which he lives He didn't I'M
derstand the doctors pleasantly and took
it for granted that he was being made the
butt of his ridicule. Besides. he had been
drinking, and hungered and thirsted for
battle. 1t was therefore with no pleasant
countenance that he halted, with a brief
''Huh?" and .stealthy movement of his
hand toward his hip.

FIRECRACKERS FORBIDDEN
Chinese Will Not be Allowed to c. L.
brate in the Customary Way.

San Francisco, Jan. 28.-Chief of Po-
lice Crowley is determined that if the
Chinese residents in this city will not
regard the laws of this state, they shall
forfeit all the privileges heretofore
granted to them and over which he has
discretionary control. In a curt letter
to the Chinese consul general, forbid
ding the explosion of fire crackers dur
ing the Chinese new year season, he
gives notice to all the local subjects of
his celestial highneSS, the emperor of
China, that they may not in the future
hope for the least liberation from the
San Francisco police departments as fol-
lows:
1T may be vel flor me to state that
heretofore your cOuntrymen have been
treated with great consideration by the
authorities of this city in matters bear
ing upon the habits and customs of
their country on or about their new year
and recent events have shown that
very large proportion of the Chinese
population are unworthy of being
granted favors or privileges of any kind
because they do not appear to have any
respect for our laws, but set them at
defiance. When the ire of the Ameri-
can people becomes aroused in this
matter, the Chinese will discover their
mistake and this question will proba-
bly, be settled in a summary way.
Respectfully.
'.P. CROWLEY,
''Chief of Police
That the Chinese may know the full
purport of thisfletter to the consul the
chief declares that if he cannot prevent
the explosion OF fire crackers in China
place there, he will march the entire
police department into the Chinese
quarter and compel by force of num-
berS, the observance of the law.

time it would have to be free or it
would not do. If it held before the Fes-
tival there would be no crowd.
Then again, it is necessary to have
the fair grounds if a reunion is held.
Garfield park might be used 1t would
furnish both water and shade and is on
car line, but it has no buildings and
that would call for an additional num-
Der of tents If the reunion is held
there and the fair at the fair grounds
where an Ambulance is charged there
would be no attendance at the fair
grounds.
IF there were no reunion in Topeka
the fair and festival might be
held at the same time without incon-
venience. The festival part would be
held up in the city and there would be
times when there would be nothing go
ing on up town and many of the people
would go to the fair.
If an attempt were made to charge
even for the grand stand, it would
make trouble with the soldiers here,
that they would tear the buildings down
to get in.
II see no way now, how a fair and
festival can be held in Topeka without
one or the other suffering greatly
Secretary Doran of the Committee of
Fifteen said:
I'VE have our dates and believe no
one will attempt to interfere with them
and do not believe there is any danger
of the state fair people securing an
appropriation anyhow, SO there is no
use TO talk ABOUT the matter now.
President Fellows of the Committee
of Fifteen said that he had not thought
about the matter.
At the state fair meeting last night
Col. S. A. Sawyer of Manhattan pre-
sided. He presented the following plan
for organization:
First-Let those towns having the re-
quired railroad facilities hold out the
proper inducements for securing the To-
cation of the state fair.
Second-Let the old state fair asso-
citation reorganiZe under an entirely
new name and with a new charter.
Third-Follow the plan adopted by
many of the states in the middle west,
and have the state back the enterprise
with an appropriation to be used as a
guarantee fund, with the state placed
in provisional control.
The following committee on organi-
cation was appointed:
George w. Click Of Atchison, Gull
ford Dudley of Topeka, c. NJ Irwin of
Wichita, w. B. Sutton of Russell and
VIM. II. Barnes of Topeka.
James A. Troutman and Judge w. B.
Sutton were appointed to draft a bill
to be presented to the legislature ask
ing for the necessary appropriation.

DUAL LEGISLATURE ENDS.
The Mitchell Com bination in Oregon

Salem, Ore, Jan. 2S.-The only devel-

the Withdra wal of Miner. Democrat
from the Benson house. This leaves on
~ 30 members in that house, one short
of the majority.
Miners withdrawal came as a sur
prise to the Benson men, who are fore
ed from the position that 81 members
could organize and do business. There
are other evidences of detection in the
Benson house and the prediction is
made that it will only live a few days
longer. Its members passed a resolu-
