Alliance, July 18.-The "drys" won
decisive victory over the "wets" in
the Brannock election here today, the
total vote being 927 against 376, giving
the "drys" majority of 551. While
the temperance element was confident
the most sanguine did not anticipate
such sweeping victory. The election
was held in five of the precincts IN
the First, Third and Fourth wards, and
embraces at least two-thirds Of the en-
tire city The result closes up twelve
saloons. The wet element made hard
fight, sending almost fifty foreigners
over to Canton to be naturalized in
the hopes Of carrying the election.
These nearly all voted In precinct A
of the Third ward but In spite of this
fact the "drys" carried the precinct by
majority Of Al. The total vote was
but $50 less than that cast at the
general election last fall.

Isaac Shelton Not to Disburse Large
Sum to Save Son.

According to the Peoria News Isaac
Shelton, the Yates City boy charged
with completely in the death of his
sweetheart, Lena Ramp, will not be
defended when he goes by trial by the
best legal talent that money can pro-
cure
The elder Isaac Shelton, father of
the boy, has declared that he will not
mortgage his property to provide funds
to pay heavy attorney bills. What
promised to be a legal battle between
big men in the state may turn out to
be only a weak defense against over
whelming odds, for Mr.. Ramp is still
firm in his determination to go to any
expense in providing the best legal
talent to conduct the prosecution.
1t was reported that Isaac Shelton,
Sr, would spend all he had for the
defense of his boy. The old man has
denied and and his action in the mat
ter is now the talk of Yates City.
Shelton says that he told his son
several weeks ago that if he did not
Immediately marry Lena Ramp he
would exile him from home The
threat he never carried out. but the
community gauges his feeling toward
his son by the fact that he made that
threat

HairdressinR Hints.

Hairdressing has gone through many
evolutions since the fashion OF scrap
ing up the hair from the nape OF the
aank Arst- CANA in--AIanr women have
found this fashion so comfortable ana
so easy to accomplish without the ald
of a maid that they have adhered to
it in spite of all the changes Of fash
ion that have come from the planting
of the knob on the crown to the CEN
tire of the back of the head, and from
there to the nape of the neck, which Is
surely the most natural, II the most
comfortable, of fashions. Now the de-
cree of La Mode is that the hair shall
be rolled over perpendicularly from
the neck to the crown of the head,
comb with a curved-over ornament be-
ing placed in this roll. But this mode
is far from being artistic and cuts on
the proportions OF the head to the face
in a manner that Is quite at variance
with all the laws of beauty. Some
faces are softened by fashion Of pull
ing down a meche Of hair In puff
over the forehead, and certainly this
fashion obviates the doubtful wisdom
of cutting ones hair in fringe ,,
Nothing spoils the hair more than the
"tonge." The French fashion, there
fore, of the low, full waved meche or
, hair in its natural length simply held
in place by combs is by far the most
rational. The hair should be frizzed
slightly on the reverse side before
turning up the ends under the comb.
and IL carefully disposed by clever
fingers 1t need not have the heavy APP
pearance that is the case when mex
perienced hands are responsible for
the couture. The sides. of course, are
puffed separately, great care being
taken to dispose the combs in sufti-
GENTLY slanting direction. Often the
combs are placed too upright, which
gives q wrong movement to the lines
| of the hair.

Coral and Its limitations.

"If you wish to buy coral beads" re-
marked the jewel enthusiast, you
must go to reliable dealer. Why,
even celluloid may be so shaped and
tinted that the average person would
not know the difference. There's one
way to tell. however, If the chain be
cheap. In this case the very perfec'
ton of the beads will convince the
wouIu.pe puroha1er of their spurious
ness.
"A string of small beads at say 81
or SO. will be full of little imperfec,
lions il they be real. The larger tire
bead of real coral the more expensive
The old carved coral jewelry OF long
ago went out because it was initiated
in celluloid till you couldn't tell the
difference between pieces that cost ID
and $50. Just because the pretty
beads in delicate pink are so expen
sive most persons fancy the branch
coral chains, five feet in length, thai
sell at 81 and less, are not real. But
they are, and they are cheap because
they are made of the tip ends or the
coral branches, which are too small tt
be carved into anything at all. Al
along the Italian coast these chains
are sold for a lire ana a half (3'
cents), Sorrento being the favored
purchasing place. "-Philadelphia Rec

She Declined the Seat.

George was a well behaved little
boy. He had been especially taught
by his father to be polite to the ladies'
and in a crowded car always to give
up his seat to one of the gentle sex,
regardless of age, social condition and
good looks. On a subway car last
Sunday papa had an unlooked-for and
embarrassing illustration of how well
George had learned his lesson. The
car was crowded, but George had pre-
empted a seat. A handsome young
lady entered at one of the stations at
which the train stopped. There was
not vacant seat.
"Take my seat. ma am. co.
.<,-....ss, as' ne doned his cap.
She didn't take his seat. She looked
fierce enough to box his ears, and the
passengers had to laugh in spite OF
her modification. George was sitting
on papa's lap when he so gallantly
offered to give up his seat to the pref
ty young lady.-New York Press.
