ON AN ELECTION BET.
Thomas E. Brown Brings Action
Against Frank B. Bowman of
East st. Louis.

The precipe in suit for $4,000 against
Frank B. Bowman OF East st. Louis by
Thomas E Brown OF St. Louis was. fled
in the East St. Louis City Court yesterday
morning by st. Louis attorney. The suit
grows out Of bet made at the last general
election.
Mr.. Bowman, 1t is alleged. wasered s6.ooo
at even money with G. NJ. Forman. who
acted for number OF prominent East st.
Louis citixens. The bet was on the election
of Mr.. Rodenberg to Congress. Mr.. Roden-
berg was defeated by Mr.. Kern Of Belle
Vile, and Mr.. Bowman won the bet. The
money. II is stated. was paid over.
The statutes of the State OF Illinois per-
nit any person to bring suit against the
winner Of an election bet for treble the
amount Of the bet II. after the expiration
of six months, the loser himself does not
bring suit to recover the amount bet. In
this case the men who are said to have
made the bet with Mr.. Bowman were all
satisfied to lose 1t. as they had made the
bet fairly.
If judgment is given the plaintiff in
suit Of this character the law provides that
half the money is to go to the school fund
and that the other half IL to go to the per-
son who institutes the suit.
c. NJ. Forman said yesterday afternoon:
''I am not acquainted with Mr.. Brown.

has been brought without my knowledge
and am greatly surprised at 1t. placed
the money referred to in this suit None
of the money belonged to me. but was a
pool made. up by prominent citizens, who
selected me to handle the money for them.
None OF these men have complained that
they were core over losing the. money; n
fact, they were satisfied to lose II, having
taken a chance on winning an equal amount
had the election turned out differently"
Mr.. Bowman Is at Okawville and could
not be seen. Several Of the men who ad-
mitted that they were interested in the
wager expressed much surprise at the suit.
They said that they were positive that no
one who had been interested in the bet had
anything to do with bringing the action.
Thomas E. Brown Is not known In East
st. Louis.
A prominent attorney, in discussing the
suit last night. said that 1t Is highly prob
able that Mr.. Browns case will be thrown
out Of court, as 1t could only be proven Ly

their houses in much better taste by
originating antiques themselves. That
is, they could study modern styles, Sc

in short. do what NJ. John Kimberly
Mumfcrd suggests that they should do
in the Oriental rug market-demandt the
manufacture Of things in genuine good
taste, which shall last as long as the
old-fashioned articles, and be of even
finer workmanship.
our ancestors had some good things,
but not all They did not have the
modern divan. roomy. comfortable. and
beautiful. They did not have chairs
al restful as a couch, or bookcases and
desks at once light, beautiful, and con-
venient They did not nave beds which
were perfect from sanitary point of
view and dainty and beautiful to the
eye of the esthete.
Let the modern millionaire without
ancestors, therefore. furnish his house
in the best taste of today, instead of
borrowing, buying. or manufacturing
heirlooms. Let him stimulate the ar
tistic Industries OF all countries. and
lay thu, Orient under tribute for his
rugs. bring his tapestries from Persia,
Russia. or France. buy Indian blan-
kets and baskets, and adorn his rooms
with the quaint and gayly decorated
woodwork of Norway and tie glass of
bohemia Then let him demand the
best that American inventive genius can
conceive and American cleverness exc
cute in the way of furniture, and he
will have a house that is really ar
tistic, and know the satisfaction, more
over, of having made it not merely
reflection of the prevailing fashion, but
an expression of his own personality.
