Tricks at the skirt,s Hem.

A new notion for skirts is line of gold ribbon set on the inside. It is fastened to the skirt by the upper edge only, and between the lower edge of the ribbon and the skirt is set little frill of ribbon in some color that har- monizes with the skirt. This ribbon comes a little below both skirt and gold ribbon, and serves in place of binding
 The gold gives just a little gleam as the wearer walks, or as the skirt is lifted, and it wears very well, dust and even mud wiping off. A thin leather or kid

ribbon comes for the same purpose, It is not as picturesque, but it makes an excellent skirt binding, Though the styles do not demand it, there are still dressmakers that set a flexible wire about the foot of @ dress, and of all in ventions to rob a skirt of grace, this is the must successful
 An unusual finish appears on the skirt pictured here, which is plain eX- cept for a very marrow bias fold about the hem. Its material is mirror faille,

ELECTION sErs.
Some Of Them Look Like Sure Thing
when They're Not.

Election day viii be one week from
today, when the people of this nation
will choose man to steer the ship Of
state for the next four years to come.
All kinds of tricky election bets are
being offered and some of them, which
seem on the surface to be just like
finding money, are really sure bets for
the other fellow.
r. There hasn't been any great amount
of money bet locally, but there have
been quite number of small bets.
One which seemed a particularly
good thing for Bryan man was bet
Of So that he could not pick Is states
that Bryan would carry. He snapped
the bet quickly enough but when it
came to naming the states he found
that II were as many as he could
name in which Bryan had an appar-
entity sure thing. If he slipped up on
anyone of the remaining four he lost
his bet.
Another standing offer for two weeks
is that of Mckinley man who wants
to bet IS or $40 on each state. He has
not found a taker.
A Mckinley man bet a Bryan man &
dollar that Bryan would not carry but
one state The bet was snapped and
! before the particular bet was made
while the others were laughing at tho
| Mckinley man as crank of the first
water, he offered to double his bet
that Bryan would not even carry that
one state. This was taken and then the
Mckinley man named New York as
the particular state excepted in his
first bet. The only thing that can pre-
vent the Mckinley man from winning is
Bryan's carrying New York.

The dead body of a we'll dressed
stranger was found by two boys Sat-
urday morning lying in corn field
opposite DR.. R. W. Wares house on
the Fairview pike about mile from
town. The boys, were Lyman Evans
and Porter Smith and said they saw
the man lying in the same place the
Sunday evening before and thought
he was asleep. 1t turns out that the
man was dead at that time and had
been lying in the field for nearly
week. The body was badly decom-
posed, but still in a condition to be
recongized. An examination of his
papers showed that the stranger was
G. r. Whitehead, formerly a mer-
chant at Adams Station, Tenn, but
for the last year commercial traveller
representing the Link Shoe Co., of
Boston, Mass.
In his pockets was found a knife,
two coppers an empty box marked
"quinine," a small day book and
some receipted bills made out against
Alsobrook & Whitehead. There
were no marks Of violence about the
body.
Coroner Allensworth was sent for
and held an inquest just before noon.
After examining the witnesses, the
Jury returned the following verdict:
eve the undersigned, who are the
empaneled jury, find that the body
before us is that of G. R. Whitehead,
and that the cause of death we do
not know, but we find no marks of
violence and believe the cause Of
death to be poison, or that death re-
suited from the effects Of intemper-
ance."

He was a young man of drinking
habits and was here on spree lately.
G. H. Layne hired him livery team
some days before his disappearance
to go to Lafayette and instead Of re-
turning in one day, he did not get
back for three days. The probable
tiles are that he became stranded and
finally concluded to end his troubles
with poison, No autopsy was held,
but all the circumstances point to
suicide as the cause Of his death.

OPEN BRIBERY.
A HOPKINS COUNTY MAN CAUGHT IN
THE ACT.
Attempt to Induce j. L. Tefft, of Norton
Vile To Use Money To Corrupt Voters.

The boldness with which the agents
Of the Hanna campaign managers
have attempted to corrupt the voters
with the use of Doodle has brought at
least one of them to grief in Hopkins
county.
On Friday morning, MIR. E. L. Hen
bricks, son-in-law of Banker Jno. G.
Morton, of jacksonville, jumped off
the train at Nortonville and went into
the depot Office to see Mr.. J. L. Tefft,
supposing him TO be gold man, as
his young son had been making gold
speeches in the county. After asking
Mr., left how were things and what
could be done to strengthen the
cause, meaning gold, and inquiring
about several Republicans and dis
cussing their reliability, Mr.. Hen
bricks requested a private interview
with Mr.. left. Taking him aside he
gave him $25 to be placed "where it
would do the most good" suggesting
that it be given to silver men to infu-
ence them to stay away from the
polls and lose their votes. He sug-
gested that this might be managed
by paying them extra wages to stay
away. The rest Of the interview can
be told in MIR. Tefft's own words:
HE said if could use more than
$25 to telephone to Mr.. MOrton's
bank and l could get all | could use.
/ said l would give it to Mr.. Handy,
as didn't wun5 to engage in the bus
mess. Mr.. Hendricks. said he had
been to Charleston, Dawson and st
Charles for the same purpose and
that he came TO NorlonsVille to meet
Dug Clark from White Plains in a
buggy. He let it be understood that
the distribution Of money was going
on actively"
When Mr. Heuurick learned after
| ay1ng Mr., left that he had been
talking 10 silver Democrat, he had
il faiutiug spell or something Of this
sort and IL took some time to get his
nerves restored to their normal con
diti3n.
The circumstance has created wild
excitement all over Hopkins county.
The facts have been given wide circu-
Iatinu and Il telephone message from
NLadieUuvl,e yes erday at noon re-
ported that Nc. Hendricks had disap
pcarrd and his whereabouts was not
known. He was in Louisville when
last heard from.

the votes Of honest men has
stirred the people to frenzy and |
