BAD MAN SHOOTS CONSTABLE
Is Captured by Citizens After an E1-
citing Chase in which Blood
hounds Are Used.

FAIRBURY, Neb., Sept. 22.-(Speclal)-
B. Spraggins, a dissolute character OF Day
kin, shot and seriously wounded Constable
Thomas Butterheld, who was attempting TO
arrest him.
Spraggins had been on a protracted spree
and was terrorizing the town with a shot
gun when the constable ordered him of the
streets. Before he got close enough to en-
force the command spraggins raised his
gun and fired, the full charge Of bird shot
entering the constable's side.
Spraggins ran into a cornield, which was
soon surrounded by citizens. A sheriff's
posse from this place together with the
Beatrice bloodhounds arrived there about
midnight, but as It was then raining. they
were forced to give up the pursuit until day
break this morning. Spraggins was tracked
to a farm house three miles north Of there,
where he had stayed all night. He had dis
covered the pursuing party before they
reached the house, however, and ran into
a cornleld. This was quickly surrounded,
and the hounds tracked him to a thicket
of weeds in the center. AS he had left his
gun at the house in his flight he was taken
without trouble.
The injured man was found to have over
100 shot in his side, but a late report from
Daykin gives hopes of his recovery.
The prisoner has a bad reputation, hav-
ing once before been implicated in a shoot
ing affair.

HUMBOLDT ENTERTAINS KELLY
Fugitive st. Louis Alderman Believed
to Have Been in that
city.

HUMBOLDT, Neb., Sept. 22.-(Special)-
Evidence has Just come to light which
makes 1t almost sure that the city Of Hum
boldt has been entertaining a fugitive from
justice in the person Of Charles F.. Kelly,
one OF the boodling aldermen Of st. Louis,
for whose capture the sum Of 81, 800 is Of
fered. According to the story told by the
employees of the barber shop Of Fred Fisher,
a man answering the description given OF
the above party drifted into town Friday
morning and stopped at the Central no.
tel and, although being a man of appar-
emily good education, registered in such
manner thai the name was not legible.
Landlord Todd Of the above hotel says the
man appeared to have no particular busi-
ness and the only business house he is
known to have visited is the Fisher barber
shop, where he called for and received a
shave and then seemed very anxious to Sc
cure a morning paper. None having ar
rived at that hour, he asked II he could
remain In the shop aud upon permission
being granted he seated himself and read a
novel for the rest Of the day until train
time, when he took his departure for the
west. Harry Wilkinson, a brother-in-law
Of Fisher, and Mr.. Knight, the barber
who shaved the stranger, noted his peculiar
actions after he had gone out, but did not
think much about it until the Sunday Post
Dispatch OF st. Louis came, with the pic
ture and description. when they identified
him as the man wanted, as did also Land
lord Todd. wilkinson says the man had
sandy hair ami light complexion, weighed
about 100 pounds, height slightly less than
FIVE feet nine inches. He was smooth
shaved, had uneven teeth, wore a Panama
hat, light checked coat, striped trousers,
n~egligee shirt and box-calf shoes. He
talked very little, but upon being ques-
toned said he was In St. Joseph a few
days previous. All who anne in contact
with the stranger unite in the opinion that
he fits the description Of Kelly to a dot.

ally adopt some apparently unseason-
able garments, yet that only serves
the same purpose as discord does in a
piece of music-it adds effect to the
entire composition.
Men wear frock coats, and morning
coats, lounges and REFERS, and if we
turn our footsteps to "the Row" we
shall find the two former styles are very
much in evidence. They are made
from delightfully."- thin materials, such
as tropical suitings, angolas, etc., in
striped or plain cOlors.
Men as a rule fight shy of color for
promenade dress; it needs a meet of
the hounds or the freshness of the golf
links to induce them TO don ''the pink
so that in styles to be seen near Hyde
Park corner it is only a few daShing
characters who appear in garments
made of bright colored cloth or in ma
terials covered with patterns of fear
full and wonderful designs. The Eng
lish gentleman dresses neatly but eff
fectively; his garments are not intend
ed for ostentation, but for real deco
ration; they are designed to adorn the
man, and not turn him into a clothes
screen. A notable feature of all the
garments worn this season is the low
rolling lapel. The frock coat turns
almost to the waist, being held to-
gether at the front by links; the morn
ing coat in many cases follows the
same ideal and is fastened by the but
ton just above the waist, and even
lounges and REFERS are made to con-
form to this pattern.
Lapel Work of Art.
A well made lapel is a work of art.
1t is not to be produced in the best
style except by the exquisite machin-
cry ot - human fingers, aided and
directed i a considerable amount of
intelligence. The slop-made garment
betrays itself by general fairness and
by the corners curling the wrong way,
whereas the production of a first-class
tailor is marked by harmony of out
line, a roundness of finish and a gen.
eral adaptability to the shape of the
wearer.
A new ideal of fashion is now being
promulgated in the best trades. Waists
are being made to fit as closely as
possible and hips afe being emphasize
ed so that the waist may appear small
er still, and there are some firms in
Saville row which are now regularly
padding the hips of the coats they
make.
Vests are now worn double breasted

dress; the amount of dust collected on
q ride has all too often been made an

need f this and we hail with delight
the Improvement that is taking place
in the dress of this growing class.
Such, then, are the summer fashions

pared with the shirtwaist introduced
in tie states they are refined. Mate

Of trousers we merely state the ten

more width at the hips and less width
