walls are done in a restful shade of
brown, while the furnishings will be OF
tapestry design. The diyans will be sur
mounted by electric reading lights.
The grillroom also is Colonial In style,

den. a Republican of the First Illinois

mitted to expend TO secure election. and

testant also charges that 5000 votes cast
for him were not counted, and asks that
