SENSATION AT KNOX VILE
Naturalization of Foreigners Assaulted
by Actions TO Cancel

Knoxville, Feb. 8.-The law firm OF
Kinkead, Mentzer & Granger, at the
present February term of the District
Court of Marion county Iowa, brought
twelve suits to set aside and cancel
the naturalization papers and records
thereof of twelve persons for irregu-
larity and jurisdictional illegality in
granting them.
yesterday afternoon these causes
were called up in the District Court
at Knoxville by Kinkead, Mentzer &
Granger, and thereupon nearly every
other attorney at the bar arose and
announced his appearance for some
if not all of these several defendants,
but to their surprise and the con-
sternation of the local Democratic
politicians, the attorneys for the
prosecution produced sworn state
ments by each and all of the several
defendants which showed that their
first papers were utilities and that
their final papers had been obtained
illegally and were also void. The
causes were passed until Saturday of
this week, and thereupon the news
of the event was telephoned, tele-
graphed and otherwise sent to the
Democraticl boss politicians in the
county, gand especially to those who
were directly concerned in the pro-
curementlof the papers, or who were
interested in preventing the disfran-
chisement of their Democratic breth-
rem, and on receiving the news they
proceeded at once respectively to
Knoxville, many of them arriving
there after dark, and council was
held by the assembled forces. Prom
inent Democrats were present from
Pella and other parts of the county.
If the papers shall be held to be illegal
by the court it will have the effect to
check a long train of abuses in that
regard in Marion county, and which
has tended heretofore to keep the
county Democratic, and such illegal
ity will also have the effect to turn
out the present Democratic attorney
and seat Republican. l.. Kinkead,
an attorney of Des Moines, who is
supposed to be in sympathy with the
prosecution, If not retained as an at
torney therefor, also arrived at the
court on the afternoon train from Des
Moines. A lively time is looked for
in the further proceedings of the
cases and startling surprises are ex-
pected.

STYLES FOR men.
What Will be Worn by Well
Dressed Young Men.

Mr.. Joe Beeson of the Open
imer-Beeson- Morse Company has
been in the east for the past several
weeks and he took considerable
time in reviewing the fashions for
men that will prevail during the COM
ing summer. We are indebted to
Mr.. Beeson for the following notes
upon what will be "good form" for
the young man who cares to be well
dressed.
The mode in mems string ties has
a tendency toward the narrow bat
wing, the widest part measuring IL
inch and when tied have no appear
apce different than the graduated
club ties. The leading furnishers
in New York, concerns like Samuel
Budd q Co. and Alexander & Co.,
predict a great windsor season as
soon as the hot weather sets in. The
popular fabrics will be foulards and
grenadines.
Styles in half hose are not as pro-
nounced as last year. Plain modes
in medium gray, tan, brown and
medium blues are in demand, and the
same with rich colored cloakings on
the side.
1t is noticeable that the new spring
shirtings are much more conservative
in character than for several years.
Plain white is predominant and
what few stripes are worn are more
delicate and dainty than formerly.
Figures are also much seen in French
percale cloth. Altogether the styles
are much more quiet and therefore
more genteel.
In the matter ofistyle of hats for
the coming season it is noticeable
that the set of the brims on the stiff
and soft shapes have been changed
about. The stiff hats have decided
pitch in front and rear, while the soft
hats are for the most part fat set and
raw edge. Particularly is this true
of the low crowned "golf hats. as
they are called. The crowns in both
styles show tending toward a taper
effect and will be more pronounced
in the Knox styles. In colors the de-
mandIfor black is far in excess Of
that of any other, although pear
and gray will be good sellers.
In mems and young suits the popu
lar fabrics seem to be the unfinished
worsteds and serge in blues an6
blacks as are also the Scotch tweeds
The latter material seems to be com,
ing to the front as the one to be Sc
lected to occupy the prominent place
with all high-grade retailers. The
dark gray cheviots with invisible
plaids will be one of the popular
colorings. The stylish coat in sacks
will be either the military or semi
military cut, high cut vest and pes
top trousers.
