Kansas City, May S.-Two OF the

Judge Peden spent some time in
jail fourteen years ago, while serving
as county Judge. Judge Nesbit, who
was for several years associate Judge
has been in jail so frequently for his
loyalty TO his constituents that he
has lost track of the times.
He said he was getting used to
prison life, but would not talk about
the case. Both judges will talk
about everything else excepting the
case. This topic they dismiss with
the simple announcement that they
have nothing to say.

SHOWERS OF FLOWERS
FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Los Angeles Gives a Welcome
Greeting to Mckinley.
VISIT TO THE SOLDIERS HOME
PickpOckets Get in Their Work and
Two Members of McKinIey's Party
Are Touched for Valuables.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 9.-From a
broad, blue canopied pavilion, sur
rounded by members of his cabinet,
the governor of Ohio and notables
from many states, President Mckin-
ley to-day reviewed the floral parade
OF the Los Angeles Carnival. The
city was packed to the doors.
The population of Los Angeles, ac
cording to the census, is over 10O,-
900. but the streets must have held
almost twice that number to-day.
Pasadena, Santa Monica and other
neighboring towns in southern Cali
fornia were literally depopulated.
The scene on Broadway. where the
rev iewing stand was located, re-
sembled Pennsylvania avenue in
Washington on the day of an inau-
guration parade.
Every facade famed with bunting,
flags and pampas grass plumes-red,
green and orange, the colors of the
fies ia, prevailing-terraced stands of
people, the windows walled in with
them, the sidewalks to the rOped
street packed with them like sar-
dimes in box.
Mrs Mckinley did not witness the
show, but she drove along Broad
way and received the plaudits of
the multitude just before the process
sion appeared. The president rode
at the head of the parade in an open
carriage drawn by six spirited milk
white horses with yellow satin har-
ness.
At the head of each horse walked a
Spanish caballero. in green velvet
with much gold braid about his DO
lero. The carriage was a mass of
white carnations and yellow coreop-
isis blossoms
A troop of cavalry, with yellow
horse hair plumes waving above
their helmets and wreaths of flowers
across their shoulders and blanket
rolls of red carnations behind their
saddles headed by band playing
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner pre-
coded the chief magistrate to the re-
viewing stand. As each carriage
reached the reviewing stand the la
dies in it arose and smilingly saluted
the president with deep courtesys.
The president was kept on his feet
most of the time returning these
charming greetings. He apparently
enjoyed the experience hugely. Each
lady carried bag of rose leaves for
use as confetti and after saluting the
president she threw handful of the
soft petals into his box. Before the
parade was over he was ankle deep
in rose leaves.

In the meantime the situation IN

two great armies drawn up on the
field OF battle, anxiously awaiting
the outcome of negotiations. There
is suspension of hostilities; that is
all.
Both sides claim control of the
Northern Pacific property, and both
are maneuvering for advantage.
How it will all end no one can tell,
but it looks now as though the hon

stated from the first-with the Har-

The desperation of the shorts in

banks in the field agreed to form a
pool and ra.Ie a fund to loan the
money rate down to a 6 per cent on
the Stock Exchange. The bid for
money had been run up to so per

alive the panic. The dozen banks
quickly came to an agreement to
raise SIC, 0O0,0 900, with implied will

placed also by individual banks,

early part of the day bankers exact

with the growing need to suppress

banks were not charged over per

had sprung up from nowhere. They
were gesticulating, shouting, and push

became founder.

down each front of the garment there
will be three jeweled buttons holding
satin or velvet rosettes with ends.
These are known to the learned as
"cockades."
OF course, as suggestions to the null
titude, such coats present small hope,
as few are rich enough to buy them,
and still fewer skilled enough to make
them. And they are decidedly out of
place in the democratic street cars,
which are more frequently our modes
of conveyance than are automobiles.
But in a few of the best shops the
clever woman may find the unlined
applications in coat shapes, only need

For the theater, and other evening di-
versions, these elaborate coats will be
much worn this winter.
A silk Revival.
To return to house clothes, have you
remarked the charming possibilities of
the Louisine silks with chine effects?
These silks, with their delicately gilt
tering surfaces and shadowy designs,
are forerunners of an important silk
revival, called forth by the present
leaning of fashion toward seventeenth
century stateliness. They are the pro-
logue, which in time will introduce the
