ALL BETTING RECORDS BROKEN.
Over a Million Dollars Wagered in
New York the Day Before Election.

New York the Day Before Election.
Never before was there such betting
on the day preceding election as there
was in New York Monday. The total
amount wagered was far in excess of ST.
100000. On Broadway the recorded
wagers aggregated over 100000, while
on Wall street the amoU mt put up was
more than 100000.
There seemed to be 40 end of money
in the hands of those anxious to back
Roosevelt at almost any odds The pre-
yailing figures were to l and to i.
On Herrck the odds ranged at about
to /. Thousands of dollars were wag-
cred that Roosevelt would carry the State
of New York the odds being , to ].
Plenty of money was covered even that
Roosevelt would have 10000 plurality in
the State.
That the election does not always go
with the odds has been repeatedly dem
onstrated In 1884 the odds ranged from
S to TO 10 to on Blaine. but Cleveland
was elected. In 1888 the odds were .
to ! in favor of Cleveland, but Harrison
was elected. In 1892, when Cleveland
was elected. the bets were even. Dur
ing the 1896 and 1900 campaigns the
odds were in favor of Mckinley.

cHIcAao's HUGE SUBWAY PLANS
Bores Once Intended for Wires Are to
Become Arteries of Traffic.


A complete revolution of the methods
Of handling the freight business of prac-
tically all Of the railroads having ter
minals in Chicago is promised by the Chi
cago Subway Company, which has been
Incorporated in New Jersey, with capt.
talization Of $4,000, 900 and Immediately
came into possession of the Chica 90 Tun-
mel Company. Behind this definite an
nouncement of purpose is said 10 lie a
strong possibility that ultimately the
street railway systems of the city will
be provided with subways in the heart
of the city. and thus further relieve the
congestion which has been complained of
for years.
1t is strongly limited that the construc-
ton of a subway directly above the tun-
nels is contemplated at some time, and
that controlling interest in the Illinois
Tunnel Company was achieved in order
to avoid litigation and embarrassment
during the construction period.
Here are some of the things promised
when the full scope of the scheme is in
operation:
Freight traffic will be diverted from
the streets to the tunnels. and the streets
thus relieved of the dirt incidental to
teaming.
Railroad freight yards will be removed
ten or fifteen miles from the central part
OF the city, thus leaving valuable real
estate available for other business uses.
All freight will be handled more expe-
ditiously, the cars to which freight has
been transferred at the outer yards COM
ing into the city by the tunnels and cleo
trio motors.
With the passing of freight locomo-
tives the city will be relieved of 50 per
cent of the smoke nuisance.
The necessity for tearing up pave
ments will be practically overcome when
telegraph and telephone wires, gas pipes,
water pipes and other public utilities are
placed within the tunnels.
Mail will be handled more quickly
when letters and parcels can be dropped
directly into the tunnels through mail
boxes, and thence conveyed directly to
the postodice.

FILLS OUT THIN CHEEKS.
'Mi-o-na the Only Natural Way TO
Gain Firm, Solid Flesh" Says
DRUGGIST Geolrick.

Emaciated faces and general thin
ness can be overcome by the use of
Mi.o-na, the flesh forming food that
Druggist Goolrick is selling in such
large quantities. You who have
thin, pale checks can be fat, plump,
strong, hearty, with the rosy glow Of
health If you will but use Mi-o-na.
Goolrick's Modern Pharmacy, one
OF the most reliable drug firms in this
section, is selling Mi-o-na at soc box
under a positive and absolute guar
antee to refund your money if It does
not fill out thin cheeks and make the
user plump, rosy and healthy.
Mi.o-na does all this in a perfectly
natural way. Ii mingles with the
food you eat, aids assimilation, re-
stores the digestive organs to action
and puts the whole system in proper
physical condition. Those who use
Mi-on-a do not risk penny when
they buy it. Druggist Goolrick will
give written guarantee with every
box to refund the money if it does
not increase flesh, give freedom from
stomach troubles and restore health
and strength. Go to their store to-
day and get a months treatment to
be used at their risk.
