Fear LYnchlna at Hastings.

Hastings, Neb, Feb. 1S.-Arthur An
derson, the negro youth who killed
Henry Newell, a white boy by strik-
ing him over the head with billiard
cue, is presumably at large with a
price on his head. Sheriff McCreary
and Chief of Police Witmeyer assert
that Anderson has not been captured
but the rumor is persistently circulat-
ed that he is in custody and has been
taken to another town in the belief
that to permit it to be known that he
is in Hastings would invite violence.
An angry crowd collected about the
county building last night waiting for
the appearance of Anderson, and there
were threats of lynching.
In the meantime reward of $3.50
for his capture has been offered by
the county and circulars formally Is
sued giving a description OF the slayer
and calling for his apprehension.

From a racing standpoint the most

European harness turf. Three of the
others are also European bred.
This is the first instance in which

Women Who Go IN for Sports Lose
Their Charms.
New York, Feb. 19.-Mrs. Amelia
Barr, the novelist declared today that
over indulgence in athletics was spoil
ing American women.
'lf America has a national fault"
she said, "it lies In the fact that Ameri-
cans carry everything to extremes.
Over indulgence in athletics brutalizes
woman. II robs her of the fine
bloom Of her womanhood More than
any one thing, | believe, this craze for
athletics Is responsible for the passing
of the old fashioned woman-the sort
of a woman the average man desires
to marry.
Women were never meant to be
athletic. They were meant to be moth
ers and home makers. Great muscular
development of their bodies Is not
natural, and it leads to an unnatural
condition of mind as well as of body
There are physical conditions which
forbid woman's over indulgence in
athletic sports.
athletic sport brutalizes men as
well as women. The woman given
mp to athletic sports is not interested
in womanly things. She knows moth
ing of housekeeping and cares less.
She has no time for children, though
she may find time to caress a poodle
dog. She becomes a member of
| mysterious third sex-neither man nor
woman, but sort of conglomerate.
athletic women do not marry. BY
the time they are ready to give up
their sport and settle down. they have
lost that which makes woman de-
| sirable to men.

the Chicago fighter, who knocked out
Joe Coster, the conqueror of Johnny
Coulen, is going to defend that much

any man in the world that can do l16
pounds ringside. Through his mana

title and will post a forfeit of $1,000

this title is based on the fact that the

LATEST STYLES IN FLOWERS.
The old.Fashioned Stiff Bouquet 10 in
Vogue Again.

Vogue Again.
New York, Feb. l8.-Old fashioned
bouquets of flowers, stir and regular,
the kind of our grandmothers. are
again in vogue. And now. instead OF
wearing violets and lilies Of the val
ley on every occasion, such blossoms
as are selected are being carried in the
hands, and if the bunch can be placed
In gold or silver bouquet holder, so
much the better.
This change is partly due to the fact
that slightly damp flowers have ruin
ed SO many gowns and that larger
lunches are now in demand. They are
awkward if pinned to the corsage and
TO wear at dinner table are almost
impossible.
The newest way of arranging flow
ers is formal, as one will realize by
this description. One bouquet that
was sent recently to debutante was
composed of tiny pale pink roses with
alternating rows OF small white buos
The center was a tight little round
mass of pink, then a circle of white,
only one bud deep
About that was another circle OF
pink and so the two continued, alter
mating, until the bouquet was twelve
inches across and as hard and round
as any cabbage. Flat green leaves
made severe outer border, with a
final rim of fancy, scalloped lace pa
per
Bunches of pansies are fads OF the
moment, though for the older rather
than the younger women. Persons
wearing mourning affect bouquets
made OF the varying puppies, in which
this flower eXcels, but when used with
cOlOrs the blossoms are selected with
! the variety in which they grow.
Lilies of the valley and violets con.
tinue in favor, but are arranged diff
! ferently than in previous seasons.
! The white flowers are made into a
close bunch for the center of a purple
/ wheel, with outer green leaves. These,
when small are pinned to the cor.
sage, but if more than six inches
across are carried in the hand.
That the fad for wearing artificial
flowers should continue is not strange
for the blossoms are now made with
wonderful eXaCtness and when scented
with rich perfume the real effect is
heightened, One can only say in this
connection that poor imitation are in
tinitely worse than none.

Forbes Is "Coming Back"

New York. Feb. 19.-Harry Forbes
has been matched to fight Abe Attell
ten rounds at Troy, N. Y. They will
weigh in at ringside at 1872 pounds.
Another match made for Forbes was
6round go with Tom O'Toole, the ban
tamweight OF Philadelphia. The fight
will take place at the National A. G.
IN Philadelphia about March |.
Harry Forbes Is coming back with a
vengeance. After being on the retired
list for nearly six years he engaged in
one fight, won II, and now he Is going
20 meet the featherweight champion.
True, his engagement with Abe Attell
is only going to be l0-round affair,
but 1t will be at the featherweight
limit, and should he earn the decision
over the clever Hebrew he will be in
position to make things decidedly un.
comfortable for Abey. However, 1t
isn't likely that Harry can outpoint
Attell In sprint race. Abe is great
over the short route and even though
he Is slipping as a champion he should
be able to go at top speed for ten acts.
II this bout goes the limit, and 1t I'M
doubtedly will, 1t means that the boys
will get together In longer bout
Forbes announces that he will not
only try for Attell's title, but that later
on in the season he will make a fight
for the bantamweight title. He says
that he can make 116 pounds ringside.
Joe Coster, whom Forbes recently
knocked out, was given newspaper
decision over Johnny Coulon and Har-
ny believes that he is at least entitled
TO try for the lighter title.
Tommy OToole. who will face
Forbes in Ground bout in Philadel-
phia is one of the best midgets in the
