sLoPING SHOULDER EFFECrs.

A new idea in waists is the low
shouldered effect. Some of the gar
ments are cut in one piece, having no
seam over the shoulder at all. the top
of the sleeve being cap shape which
comes we'll down below the shoulder.
The Paquin form is low-shouldered to
within a few inches below the shoulder
point.
Below this low shouldered effect any
idea possible may be adopted, but nat
urally the sleeve follows these SUCCESS
tions and becomes broad and wide from
the middle of the upper arm, falling
gracefully around the elbow.

BRIGGS IN JAIL.
Man Who MauIed the chinaman Un-
able to Give Bail.

Frank Briggs, arrested a second
time Tuesday afternoon for the as
sault made upon the Chinaman cook
of the road graders camp southeast of
the city, was -rought to the city in
the Afternoon and taken before Justice
Stanley. He was required to give a
bond of 1000 for his appearance and
being unable to do this he was placed
in Jail to await developments. In
case the Chinaman does not live the
charge will be more "seriousand the
bond increased. Thos. CARRIER, a COM
panion of Briggs, was also arrested
yesterday afternoon and brought to
the city along with Briggs. He was
arrested on the charge of aiding and
abetting in the crime committed by
Briggs. He is held equally liable with
Briggs and his bond was also placed
at 81, 900. 1t was not forthcoming and
the man went to Jail.
AS the story now ome CARRIER
stood at a door so that the victim OF
Briggs could not get back into the
building and he also held the door
closed so that the Chinaman's bull
dog, that has acted as a sort of a body
guard, could not get out and It is said
that he warned away any who would
interfere with Briggs in the punish
ment that he was administering. 1t
is said that this is not the first offense
of the sort of which Briggs has been
guilty. The Chinaman is still in a pre-
carious condition but is reported to be
some better this morning.
The police took IN a drunk and a
yag last evening and the usual squar-
ing Of accounts for the acts commit
ted was had before Mayor Wray. The
same old dose was administered the
guilty parties.

CLEARS RICHARDS.
Frank Baird Says Ex-Deputy Marshal
Was Not Conc erned.

C%reston, March richards was
not with is in the Sullivan robbery
said Frank Baird, as he boarded No.
6 on his road to Fl. Madison for eigh-
teen years Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary at that place. Baird was
brought to Creston to take a last fare
well of his aged mother before going
to the penitentiary. A large crowd
was at the station when he left, very
one trying to shake hands with him.
His face was swathed in bandages,
and he limped slightly, but said that
his wounds gave him very little pain.
He remained in the smoking room
from the time he reached the station
until very shortly before the train left.
Baird talked freely on all subjects
except those directly connected with
the robbery. He said in part:
Il have nothing to say regarding
who was with me, whether or not Bill
Richards is guilty of the crime. No,
sir, I'm mum I'll take my medicine,
but say nothing. No, sir; l cannot
tell you how I came to be mixed up in
the affair at Sullivan's, but l wish to
say I am not so bad as I have been
made out to be. This is the first seri-
Gus trouble that l have ever been in,
and it will be a dear lesson to me. l
want to tea how l appreciate the kind
ness of the sheriff in bringing me up
to Creston to tell my people good bye,
for it will be many years before l see
them again; perhaps l may see
them again"
Baird called a friend to one side
and said: Bill Richards vas not in
with us. That is all l can say about
it. If they want to think Richards
had something to do with it, all right,
| don't care, but they can't make me
give up anything"
Just as the train was about to pull
out Baird bid farewell to his step
daughter. The dog Jeff sprang upon
his master and licked his hand. He
put both arms around the girls neck
and held her close to him for a space
of several minutes, then walked to the
train, climbed aboard and was seen
no mOre.
Baird's sentence is for eighteen
years. BY good behavior he can
shorten this to ten years and three
months.

IOWA'S
Of All That is Good Iowa Affords the
Best Always.

Iowa Falls, Iowa, March 3.-As soon
as the frost is out of the ground, it is
reported a tract of land in Franklin
county will be prospected to find out
if possible the extent of gold bearing
dirt that is said to have been discov-
cred in that county. According to
the report, while digging post holes
east of Dows, some dirt was thrown
up that bore evidence of having fine
gold in it. Some of the dirt was
brought to town and but little more
was thought of the incident until
about a mont ago when a sample
was sent to the assayer at Deadwood,
S. D. A report on an analysis of the
sample showed that it asayed $50
to the ton of fine gold. To what ex-
tent this dirt exists will be ascertained
this spring. 1t will be recalled that a
year or such a matter ago consider
able excitement was occasioned by
the supposed discovery of gold while
digging a well near Goodell, which is
some distance north of the point
where this dirt was found.

The Ottumwa End Will be Pushed as
Fast as Weather Will Permit.

Ottumwa, March "a force of 80
men was yesterday started upon the
work of laying the track on the Of
tumwa end of the Milwaukee cutoff.
Their time was taken up greatly with
making preparations for work, and
consequently but little track was laid.
Today, however, the work commenced
in earnest, and it is thought that close
to a mile of steel will be laid every
day, should the weather remain fav-
orable.
