Shot by Train Robbers.

American Messenger j. Zimmerman and
Bageagemaster j Zoe ketchum were alone to-
gether in the express and baggage car OF
the CINCINNATI Indianapolis, st. Louis &
Chicago railway. Zimmerman, when the
train left Delhi. a station twelve miles west
OF Cincinnati called Ketchum's attention
to some tramps that he saw thrG ugh the
glass window of the car d DOR leading to the
front platform next to the locomotive ten
der Both men arose and went toward the
front door. When within ten feet OF it the
tramps began firing through the glass win
dow. Ketchum fell, shot in four places. two
balls entering his add omen, one his breast,
and one his lett shoulder. Zimmerman
tried to draw his pistol. but it stuck in
his hin pocket, and he reiterated to the
rear platform of the car, where he met
the conductor. The latter pulled the bell
rope and stopped the train. While this
was going on, one OF the tramps climbed
on the tender where he was

man rolled him off the tender while the
train was at full speed. Before he was
thrown overheard, however, a second
robber attempted to climb on the tender,
but he weakened and lodged back at the
sight OF the PROSTATE form OF his COM
panion. Before the train stopped more
than one robber was seen to Jump Off and
disappear in the darkness. Ali OF them

Eonnets and Rats Made OF Flower.
The effect. novel and rich, yet light
and attractive, is produced i'll bonnet
or hat entirely composed of fine flow
ers OF profusely trimmed with other
wonderful copies of nature. There is
beWildering abundance of carnations,
Daphne blooms, ivy, apple blossoms,
hawthorne sprays, blown roses, lilies,
lobella blossoms, primroses, ETC., that
garniture the coaching, afternoon, and
promenade hats of wide distorted
brims. Bonnets entirely composed of
fine flowers are in princess shape, and
are usually of one kind of blossoms
alone, though models are exhibited
showing the crown of one kind and
the brim of another. For instance,
pink rose buds set with moss green
tulle on the crown, with arbutus flow
CTS and foliage covering the brim.
Another was shown whereof the crown
was composed of velvet fern leaves
radiating from the center Of the bon
net, and the brim covered with white
and yellow button daisies:
A stylish hat had the crown nearly
hidden from view by a large, loose
cluster of dark purple Yiolets thickly
interspersed with thin, glossy, deep
green leaves and stems. A pretty
bonnet for a brunei was made of
black tulle dotted with dandelion
flowers set up i'll front, yelled with
the tulle. A bonnet for blonde is
made of golden green tulle, with lilies
of the valley and green and gold wheat
heads forming the trimming in front.
Long streamers of ribbon or scarfs of
lace again fall from the back of the
hat. These are usually brought round
in front and fastened with tiny gold
lace-pin or loosely crossed. but not
tied. A turkey red dress, crossed with
fine lines of black, has a bonnet of
turkey-red crossed in diamond pat
terms with bands of black straw gal
loon. The bonnet brim is of black
velvet with a tiny frill Of yellow lace
plated up inside. White cloth bon
nets are also made to match the tailor
costumes of Thibet camel's hair and
Isle of Wight serge. These are deco
rated with silver passementeries, gold
galloons, velvet accessories in dark
colors, or with pufings of plated SUI
rah, following the style Of garniture
used upon the tailor suit it accompa-

The Latest Modes.

1t is observed on the latest tailor
gowns that the buttons are only me-
dunn in size. IF there is a Waistcoat
it should be simple in character. as
the entire suit is designed with rigid
avoidance of anything that interferes
with the symmetrical outline of the
wearer's figure. For all such toilets
high white linen collars and narrow
cuffs are alone admirable.
A thin white dress is one of the
possessions which come down in good
shape from year to year. A colored
embroidered chambrey, figured
sateen and pretty bingham make
changes enough to satisfy most wo-
men. The styles of making such
gowns are much the same as last year.
Long pointed waists, colored velvet
girdles, full, tucked, plated or SHRED
sleeves are all revived, and parasols to
match give the finishing touch.
There is rejoicing among the laun-
derers, for fashion will dress herself
in robes of null, linen and cambria so
delicate in fabric as to survive but a
days wear. The skirts of the new
zephyr muslins, French lawns, cam
brio and chambreys are wisely fash
Toned with future eye to the wash
tub. Front cores, if trimmed, are
embroidered in white thread, while
the back is laid in flat plaits that can
be ironed with little trouble. None
Of the summer muslins are caught up,
puffed, or puckered into iron defying
loops.
The Empire will be the most popu-
lar style for house dresses. The short
waists and plain skirts are certainly
very charming on pretty women.
saw a very pretty gown made in this
style the other day. It was composed
of cream white cashmere, the Empire
skirt finished by a ruche of
cream white lace caught closely down,
the waist, a plain little affair trimmed
around the square neck, and the ell
bow sleeves with similar ruche of
narrow lace; around the waist was a
long sash of cream white MORE, knot
ted at the back, the ends falling to
the ruche at the foot of the skirt.

Crops Looking Better.

A general summary of the present crop
outlook of the Northwest would state
that the average condition is good. The
past week has been most favorable for all
kinds OF grain, and while i'll some local-
ties wheat is from week to ten days late,
the average reports are cheerful and salts
factory in tenor. Reports OF an inferior
stand OF grain are scattering, and the
causes producing such a result are
purely OF q local nature. In few
sections high winds have blown the soil
from the roots Of the young grain. but
these few localities have not ,een favored
with the warm rains which have OF late so
generally prevailed, and the light, sandy
nature OF the soil accounts largely for such
conditions. Reports gathered from differ
ent points on main and branch lines OF the
ST. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba rail-
way are to the effect that wheat
is in as good an average
condition as could he hoped for, and that
the weather OF the past week has been all
that could be desired The prevailing
cold weather following seeding was not
damaging to wheat, but on the ontrary
caused it to stool well, and in but a few
ISOLATED LOCALITIES
has it been drowned out. It is. more
over, owing to the backwardness
OF spring, and the prevailing cold
trouble from the chinch bug is antici-
pated. Oats are doing fairly well, and
the increase OF acreage large. Corn is late.
Advices from Brainerd. Mimi, are to the
effect that a laterain mas greatly benefited
crops in that section. In Olnsted county,
this state, small grain are coming up even
ly, with the exception OF some barley and
oats which failed to germina tie. Late sown
grain here is all doing we'll. Corn is planted
between showers. From Madison, Oak. it is
learned that abundant rains have insured
a large crop OF small grain and grass, but
corn is backward. Huron, OAK. reports
corn as coming up, and wheat in the best
condition. Around Winona young grain
was nipped by a sharp frost some ten
days ago. Taken altogether the situation
at present OF growing grain can be consid-
cred satisfactory, with a marked improve
ment over that OF ten days ago.

Fashion Notes.

| French challie polonaises are draped
over skirts of MORE.
MORE is extensively used in silk of
all shades and ribbons.
White cloth Jackets will be much
used for wraps during the Summer.
| English tailor-made suits are seen
| in tweed in big checks of light and
dark blue.
White cloth skirts trimmed with
gold braid will be worn with silk and
satin over dresses.
New black silk jerseys deliberately
braided, fastened with one button and
| rounded off over vest of white cloth,
closed with handsome pearl buttons,
are very stylish.
Signs of the coming fashions indi-
cate that silk will to a great extent take
the place of the cloth and wooden
goods, even the lightest, for summer
wear.
Green and brown is a very popular
combination this season. Terra Gotta
or Pomperan red with all shades Of
dark and Gobelin blue is also a favor
tie combination.
The old fashion is revived of trim
ming shirts with rows ofyelvet ribbon.
When three rows are stitched on the
middle, one is somewhat broader than
the ones on either side
The newest green's are the esthetic,
Florentine and bronze shades with a
pale shade in relief like tilleul, or will

tennis suit, and there are many occa-
sions on which such suit is available

in well for climbing, for boating and

country. The Tuxedo knitted costume
is very satisfactory.
Cashmeres are in some cases trimmed
entirely with tucks. The founce has
