The newest little fans. copies from

parchment with tiny sticks i'm horn,
on which flowers are painted. in
"panache" or outside sticks in silver
gilt studded with colored stones are
also good For day use little fans Of
tulle incrusted with a large flower of
bright color are considered in good
taste. The sticks We're Chinese and
really pretty and new. Lace fans,
which are always both rich and pretty,
are invariably mounted on tortose-shell
or mother of pearl the tortoise shell
making a lighter and prettier mount
ing and lending itself with better grace
TO the diamond or gold coronet and
monogram.
Ostrich feather fans are very fashio
able tor the theaUer. A beautlA1 IN
worthy of notice was one made of old
Milanese lace of great value and an
tiquity. The lace was mounted on
priceless Louis XIV. sticks of mother
of pearl incrusted with figures and de-
signs of gold-almost too good for use.
The half hoops that fans have had
till now have given place to tiny gold
chain hoops which are ever so much
nicer than the old half hoops. which
always looked hard and stiff. The
chains too, have the advantage Of being
newer, which is a great point In their
favor.

APPLICATION OF THE PRIMARY
LAW TO MUNICIPALITIE

Miller S. D., April 15.-Answering an
quiry as to how to proceed to adopt the
primary in cities Attorney General S. W.
Clark says:
The only provision in the new primary
election law that bears upon the question
you ask is contained in section 4. This
section reads as follows:
This act shan not apply 10 municipal
town township and school district officers
but may be adopted by a majority vote
upon such proposition al any election held
therein"
From this you viii see that the question
of adopting the primary law for munic!-
palities may be voted upon at any election
In such municipality, There Is no pro-
vision as TO who submits the question, nor
what notice must be given, but IL would
seem that the question may be proposed by
anyone having an interest in the matter
and probably the came length of notice
would suffice as Is given 10 the election
of officers. As | have said, there is no
express provision on this subject and no
particular formality would be required 1t
is evident that II a fair expression of the
people is had and a ma jority are shown TO
favor the primary law for municipal pur-
poses there could be no question raised as
TO the formalities unless there was such
steps taken as would prevent a fair ex-
preston OF opinion upon this subject IN
the vote. Yours truly. S. w. Clark.

His Incarceration attracted wide at

had telephone connection between his

He gained his liberty through the
good nature Of his prosecutors, who did
not wish TO see him remain In Jail in
