Regatta Grays and Stripes for Mer
Next Fall.

'Its all to be regatta grays and re
gatta stripes this fall. The extreme
smarts have put the freaks out OF
business, and, thank heaven, were go

The buyer for the mems clothing de
partment of Kansas City store was

cornered between the necktie counter
and CHASTITY, headless dummy in even
ing dress he stroked his mustache with
his hand, says the Kansas City Times,
and nervously tipped fleck of ash
from his otherwise immaculate tan
waistcoat and ran on:
1.-The country has been crazy about
the freak or circus clothes, as we call
them, for two seasons. Smart dressers
this fall aren't going to stand for the
kinks. Extreme lines are still to be
the proper thing. but the endless plas-
tering on of straps, buttons and buc-
kles Is going to be curtailed at both

kansas City has suffered only a
mild form of the circus clothes maia'

has been so bestrapped. bebuckled and
buttoned fore and aft that for the life
of him the novice couldn't tell whether
he was going or coming. Coat cuffs
have assumed every form known to
Euclid, and at some time or another
button has been slapped on at prac-
tically every point in the suit. Button
holes have been run diagonally up
and down and oval and pockets slant
ed in every possible manner. Shoes
have carried brass buckles ut every
possible angle and have combined
buckles and buttons and buckles and

1.-THE effect of this mad rampage Is
to show itself in a number of points
about the tanner fall styles. A tenden-
cy toward tasteful extreme is mark

still good. and the pockets have not

Coats win be just trifle longer and
dip slightly in front.
"As to patterns and colors. the regnt-
ia stripe and the regatta gray are the
very latest. This stripe ranges from
n very narrow line to an eighth of an
inch stripe. The gray is medium and
strictly suitable for fall wear. Other
favorite colors will be olives, dark
tans and smokes. Double breasted
waistcoats of smart imported fabrics,
richly striped. will have everything
their own way. Trousers with mar
row waists aud full hips and mostly
without cuffs will be generally worn.
"As to hats. it will be derbies more
than ever The crowns will not be so
wide as the past season. The soft
felts will be mostly crease hats. They
are gradually getting away from the
telescope idea by way of the dip
crown. Fedoras and alpines will con
tinue to be the proper covering for the
staid and sober older men.

The returns from the precincts of
the county show that the vote at the
primaries Saturday was much lighter
than had been expected This was
Argus, partially to the reluctance of
voters to declare their politics as re-
quired, and partially to the many misun-
derstandings relative to the workings
of the primary law. 1t is new institu-
ton, and the voters have not yet had
an opportunity to gain thorough I'M
derstanding of its provisions Many
considered that the declaration of poll
tics bound the voter to cast his ballot
for all candidates nominated on that
ticket at the November election. and
this had the tendency of reducing the
vote to an expression of the faithful
party voters. In Rock Island this
pr Jed serious handicap to at least
two of the candidates on the republi-
can ticket. The voters have become
so bitter over the primary contests
that scores do not hesitate TO declare
that they will scratch the ticket where
their favorites failed to Secure the
nomination
Fights Over Committee.
OF course the center of interest was
in the contest for minority representa-
tive on the democratic ticket, and over
the fights for the states attorney, rep
resentative, governor, United States
senator, and member of the board of
equalization on the republican ticket
Aside from these. the interest was
slight, except in the second precinct of
the Fourth ward and the second pre-
cinct of the Third ward, where there
were contests for precinct committee
man. In the Fourth ward the fight
was between the Walker-C Collins
triumvirate in behalf of Charles c.

 CHARLES ELY PARDONED- News comes from New Mexico that Charles Bly, alias Sherlock, has been pardoned by Governor Curry. BIy's case is one of special interest and his pardon will undoubtedly be endorsed by his many friends in Arizona. In his earlier career Bly was a tough citizen and fell into the habit of stealing horses, for which the New Mexico au- thorities wanted him. He escaped to Arizona and went under the assumed name of Sherlock, reforming shis habits at the same time he changed his name. He finally became trusted deputy sheriff in Mohave county and served well in that office. Later he engaged in contracting of one sort or another in northern Arizona and was so em- ployed when he was arrested few
