Teddy Hale, the siX-day champion of
Madison Square garden, is not an
Irishman our English cousins tell MS,
but was born within the sound of
Bow Bells.
George Bovee, the racing Texan,
now in California, has made himself
very popular with the California rae
ing men.
A good roads bill will be introduced
in the next legislature of Missouri for
action. And nothing is heard from
Texas wheelmen on this subject.
West Indianapolis wheelmen can
now ride on the sidewalks in the sub
urbs of that city. The sidewalks,
% however, are little better than COW
paths and the roads are impossible,
yet the town marshal and his deputy
wanted fees and had made a diligent
war on the wheelmen.
The English have at present a craze
for hub brake operated by the chain.
Portsmouth, Eng, is building a won
derful machine on the style of the old

cord embroidery and an ostrich feath-
err edging. Belt and collar were of
black velvet and jet embroidery was
employed on the sleeves.
No matter what the color of the bO-
lerO jacket the sash must be black
satin. This is a welcome verdict for
women who have a nice black satin
skirt or even one of black cloth. 4
stunning little jacket of brown vel
vet is worn over loose front of daffO-

satin clasps the waist and bows of
satin soften the sudden severity of
the leeve at the shoulder.
A great many unbleached balbrig-
gan stockings are now being sold.
They are usually of a flesh cOrol and
the mystery is who buys them? They
are rarely seen on anyone. The sales
men explain by stating that n great
many people are still uncOnvertcd to
the safety of the dyed stocking. They
dare not, of course. wear unbleached
stockings outright, but they put them
Oh under the unconventional dark
stockings.

CONDUCTOR M'BRIDB's Loss.

William Mcbride, a popular passen,
ger conductor OH the Southern Pacific,
will have to invest in new uniform
next pay day. When he came in from
his run between here and Houston
yesterday he missed his suit of blue
clothes, which he wears on the road.
He had just put on his street clothes
and placed his uniform in the private
train box on the platform of the bag
gage car. When the train arrived in
San Antonio he discovered that the
box had been broken open and his
clothes and valise, as well as lot of
papers and his ticket punch had been
stolen. Conductor Pete Valley, who
went out on his run yesterday, met
Nc. McBride's train at Eagle Lake.
Mr.. Valley said he saw two men run
ming and believes they were the
thieves. The suit of clothes cost So
and the valise So.

in ribbon were put ut the waist line,
a fourth one coming at the throat.
Small coin purses of gold wire with
scent bottle top are attached to a long
chain and are much worn by the swell
girls. No woman even a little stout
should wear these chains, but they
emphasize charmingly the curves of
a slender figure. Fancy leather pur-
SEES are all gone by. You are suppos-
ed to carry coins and it is regular
fad just now to handle nothing but
gold.
Time was when one umbrella-tO
keep off the rain-sufficed, but now a
change must be had. For wear with
tailOrmade rig, the umbrella should be
of black, folded closely and mounted
with wood handle of unconspicuous
design. 1t is swagger to match the
umbrella with handsome handle of
silver ivory, enamel or delft, is used
and must in color harmonic with the
gown. As soon as warm weather
comes these will be put away and
the sunshade will appear. In view of
this, a white silk umbrella with heavy
ivory handle is not a bad investment
and may be used now with an all
black and white gown. Rain? 1t
isn't supposed to rain on these pretty
umbrellas. When il rains. take a
cab.

from some whimsical effect to a COM
plete Jacket In the accompanying
picture are two gowns, one of which
was finished in jacket effect, and the
other was furnished with a complete
outer jacket. The first one that at
the left in the illustration was in a
black broche silk figured with metal
lie threads and its moderately wide
skirt remained untrimmed. The bodice
was worn inside the skirt and had
loose fronts edged with ruffles of
cream lace that ran around the collar
in back. Each side was decorated
with three large paste buttons. The
vest was black China silk covered
with black chiffon and the sash belt
was black satin. The sleeve puffs
were very small and were caught up
in the center, lace frills finishing the
wrists.
Russian green cloth was the mate
rial of the other gown and here, too
the skirt was untrimmed. Velvet in
the same shade as the dress goods
was used in the blouse waist, which
had a wide box pleat in the center
embroidered prettily in vine design.
1t was completed by bolero of the
cloth whose fronts turned back in
oblong revers, which, together with

The effect is charming. All gar

silk selected is in bright contrast to
the garment itself. Green is much
used and so is brilliant flame color,

for the afternoon gown of this picture.

loosely from the nape of the neck and
mounted loosely on the said little

tiny bang-nO more than a fringe-is
curled in little separate fat rings and
the side locks hang in soft puffs. They
may be drawn back if the effect is too
conspicuous under a hat. A great ad-
vantage of this style is that it gives
the part a rest and tends to allow the
cultivation of a pretty gloss on the

IN FIGURED SILK AND VELVET.
y very pretty dress of figured silk
is shown in the accompanying pic
ture, the goods being n handsome
combination of dull blue and green,
the blue being in the ground and the
green in the figuring. The fitted bod
ice was black velvet and hooked in
viSibly at the side. 1t was finished
by very short bolerO that was edged
with narrow jeweled galOOn and had
pleated and draped fronts and q
short square back. The sleeves had
very small puffs aud were trimmed
with lace at the wrists, the same lace
appearing on the collar. In back were
long black velvet SaS bends.
Most women dress their hair to suit
themselves, and are wise in so doing,
but certain methods of doing the hair
have more or less fashionable vogue

central portion of the front hair from
a little bang and single row of side
curls. The parting is perfect all
around and is supposed to show. The

JACKETS THAT LOOK CHILLY.

JACKETS THAT LOOK CHILLY.
Jaunty hussar jackets fitting per-
fectly are braided handsomely. Such
are often lined with perforated cham
OILS and are therefore warm enough,
but they look a little chilly; still, if
a jacket is very stunning and is really
warm you don't mind the chilly look.
Sturdy bealtfl Seems to be accounted
in,tfiese beauty and n virtue, and
: to appear on a cold day wearing what
seems to be merely little cloth jack
ct like that the artist puts here has a
look of being little warmer than the
tight hussar sort, but facts hardly car
ry out the appearances, though its
stylishness is beyond doubt. Made
of bottle green cloth, it's revers and
collar were mirror velvet appliqued
with silk braid. This velvet, too, was
used for the tight part of the sleeves,
the puffs being of the green cloth. On
. the body of the coat there were two
boxpleats at each side, the back was
also laid in pleats, and the fastening
was at the right side, as shown.
Though the tight portion of dress
sleeves is constantly growing larger,
there is still good variety in sleeves.

A dainty grebe set on white velvet
yoke and tied with flreat white sat
in strings is very beautiful; over
white broadcloth cape nothing is more
becoming to the satin than these fea-
theirs.
Here is an outdoor rig that was
planned for wear without outside
warps, thus being reserved for mild
weather but it should be noticed that
the muff carried was of tremendous
size, requiring almost as much fur and
outlay as some of the fashionable col
larettes. This dress was made from
biege serge and it's full skirt was trim
med with bias folds of the goods
formed into ornaments at the lower
ends. The fitted bodice hooked inyis-
IDLY on the side and had a large
lace jabOt in front that extended from
neck to belt. The latter as well as
the collar and revers of the bolerO
were of mauve velvet, the bolero be-
ing of serge with a double collar of
velvet and a cloth strap to fasten the
fronts together. The revere coat
sleeves had lace ruffies on wrists.

there being no further Information Of
the men lost near Horse creek, up to
this morning. Mr.. Frank Benton and
Mr.. Freeman left for Horse creek, and
were followed soon after by Deputy
Warlaumont. This afternoon word was
heard from Mr.. Benton by means of tel
ephone, that two men supposed to be
two Of the drivers of the deserted wag-
ons discovered on the road, had been
found on the prairie near Wagon camp,
having persisted in the storm. Mr.. Ben
ton gave his information from Pole
creek and wanted instructions at once
from the coroner as to what DISPOSE
ton to make Of the bodies.
Mr.. John Mahon. who resides in this
city. has grave fears that the men found
are his brothers-in-law, who live In Ne
braska, and WI a large hog ranch. One
TACT that makes his fears look probable
Is that the men were known to have
been intending to start out with their
hogs. Mr.. Mahon ia much concerned

bodies and accompanied Mr.. Turnbull

1t Is Not Believed That the Animals

The Sun has reliable information,
from the Medicine Bow country, that
the cattle Of o. G. Kerr. which were re,
ported TO have died from strychnine
poisoning. must have died from natural
causes rather than from poisoning. as
was reported. 1t is now believed by
Mr.. Kerr, himself, according to good
authority, that the cattle died from
some disease, the nature Of which 10 I'm,
known.
The hay from which the cattle were
fed, was put up by Mr.. Kerr himself, on
the shares for Charles Harden and J. D.
Paulson. Mr.. Harden fed his cattle
from one end Of the stack and Mr.. Kerr
from the other. 1t stands to reason that
II the hay was poisoned, 1t must have
been poisoned when it was put up, and
the poisoning theory looks SO prepos-
ferrous, from any point OF view, that 1t
finds few believers in that part Of the
country. Mr.. Kerr Ia a well-known and
popular man. has no bitter enemies that
he knows Of. While at first Mr.. Kerr
held to the belief chat his cattle had
been poisoned, he now thinks they must
have died from an unknown u

KILLED A LION.

George Brown, jr., Of Indian creek,
had an experience a few days ago that
he will not be likely to forget, SO sell
dom does anything of the kind occur,
ever In pioneer history. He and Doc
Culleton own together and are working
a copper claim in the Encampment Dis
trict. Mr.. Brown started OF on his
s%nowshoes one bright morning on q
hunting expedition, little dreaming the
character Of the game he was to bag.
Suddenly rounding a point Of rocks, he
found himself within 20 feet OF a noun
tain lion, lying fast asleep beside the
carcass Of n mountain sheep. He stop
ped in amazement a moment, and then,
taking careful aim, shot the lion. Had
his bullet missed a vital part, he would
have been in for a desperate struggle
with the beautiful animal and our story
might be a very different one. Luckily
its death was instantaneous. and Mr..
Brown had naught to do but admire his
prizes. The lion had killed the sheep.
cutting its throat as clearly as a knife,
and after satisfying its hunger, had fall
en- asleep beside it's prey. Both were
monster animals Of their kind, the lion
measuring eight feet seven inches In
length and the mountain sheep II inches
around the butt Of the horns. Mr.. Brown
can realize a nea sum from the heads,
hides and the lion bounty, but 1t is like
