ALTHOUGH there has been much I'M
certainty felt in many quarters regarding
the result of the election which is going
forward today and Notwithstanding the
fact that the new ballot law lends it an
additional element Of uncertainty yet
there has been a good deal Of money
wagered on it When the result is
known many people will find their
money gone who can i'll afford to lose it.
They have bet blindIy without knowing
anything about the situation and without
any knowledge Of the past history Of
elections. They have merely backed up
. sentiment, not judgment, with money.
They seem to think that their willing
ness to put up their money Will influence
the result but it won't. The law against
election betting should be enforced with
the same vigor that is applied to other
gambling devices.

ed, however, that the favorite material
is not dead black, but green mixed chew
lot. Mr. Mitchell says that all the re-
ally correct dressers aim to wear coats
of this stuff The favOrite Chesterfield
overcoat is now cut from AZ to AZ inches
for a man of feet 8, the standard"
size, when the material is heavy, but
an inch longer if the stuff is light The
back of the coat falls straight, but it is
pretty we'll shaped at the side The
ssroll'' of this coat is longer than usual.
For fall coats the collar was made of
cloth, but for winter coats velvet is the
proper collar material. The cloth collar
is accompanied by silk facings, but the
velvet collar Will carry with it plain
cloth facings. All Chesterfelds, of
course, are made with fly fronts. The
sleeves this year are considerably larger
at the hand than usual. The favorite
Chesterfield materials will be cheviots,
smooth beavers and vicunas
The surtout will be considered the
most dressy overcoat 1t will be made
very long, from 48 to so inches for the
foot 8 man, double breasted and with
a heavy roll, self covered, of moderate
length In some cases the seams viii
be strapped with double stitched edges,
and the sleeves will be full and some
match the velvet collar. The surtOut of

double breasted frock, and properly
worn it is desert bed as a very effective
garment
Box overcoats will be Of medium
length, sometimes double breasted, some
times with a fly front, double stitched
and with heavy strap seams. The collar
is Of velvet. The covert sack coat is
more fancy. Tt Is really a half box,
made with a fly front, stitched edges
and strap seams
Evening dress coats are slightly short
er than last year, but still long and with
a long roll. Whether they are furnish
ed with peaked lapels or with shawl
rolls all facings are Of silk, but the
peaked lapel is faced to the button holes
only. The vests are made with three
buttons and the trousers are side striped,
shapely and not SO wide as those that 60

The three button sack coat is cut to
entirely cover the vest and not show
one button, as last season, but shapely
in the back and with moderate fu1lness
of sleeves. The single breasted straight
sack Is worn almost as much as the
three button sack but is not more pop
u1ar than the double breasted sack. The
latter is worn with a heavy roll and
one or two inches longer than usual by
men of sporting proclivities.
Trousers generally are full at the hips,

PREPARATIONS are rapidly going for
ward for the collection Of the income
tax and it is expected that everything
will be in readiness when the law goes
into effect so that there will be no hitch
anywhere. There may be resistance to
its collection and the government is get
ting ready to meet this also. The rate is
much lower than that collected under
the former income tax law which was 5
per cent on incomes in excess of 81, 900.
Incomes are so much larger aud more
numerous now than then that it is proba :

WAR AT ROUND POND.

Arrest of a Number of the Prominent
Citizens.
There is grave danger that the two
towns of Round Pond and Pond Creek,
Oklahoma, may yet be wiped out of ex-
istence unless something is done right
speedily to settle the difficulties existing
between the Rock Island and the citi-
zens of that vicinity.
Yesterday afternoon eight of the most
prominent citizens of Round Pond, were
arrested and bound over to the United
States court, charged with Obstructing
the United States mails.
These arrests are the direct result of
the actions of the citizens of Round Pond
a week ago in tearing up 900 feet of Rock
Island track.
Before tearing up the track a wagon
had been placed the track, which
was demolished by the morning train.
The track was then turned over, and
when the next stock train came along, it
was wrecked and 81 head of cattle were
killed outright, while others inj ured,
died the day following. The citizens
who had torn up the track. sent q man
to warn the train but the train men had
orders not to stop for any but their own
signals and they ran into the torn up en-
bankment causing a wreck.
Feeling runs high and every man who
enters either of the towns is searched
and placed under guard.
The men arrested are, j. w. Bergman,
banker; Williams, a livery man; County
Commissioner Cox; City Marshal Ham;
Franklin, grocer; Barker, a real estate
man; Koch, brick dealer, and painter
named Dell ZelI.
The Rock Island station is Pond Creek,
and the postoffice is Jefferson, while the
pOstOff1ce of the town of Round Pond is
known as Pond Creek.
Ex-Chief of Police John Gardiner who
is in charge of the Rock Island detective
forces, says there is likely to be serious
trouble at any time.
An attempt was made few days ago
to lynch John V. Moffitt, who is the
mayor of Round Pond, but his friends
rescued him.
