Betting on the result of the presidential
election has simmered down to a question
of odds o.i Major McKlnley. The ratio Is
3 to 1 at present , with very llttlo silver
money In sight. Thcro Is less betting In
the largo cities on the general result this
year than In a.ny contest for twenty years ,
end what llttlo money Is being wagered Is
largely con lined to pluralities In various
ntntcs.
There Is comparatively llttlo betting In
Omaha , The silver men who several weeks
ago wcro clamoring for takers at oven money
on the atato have relapsed Into a state of
suspicious quietude nnd would now rather
talk on any other subject than betting. A
man who would take the Bryan end ot a
proposition on the general result could gel
a lucrative Job In a dime uuisee. During
the furore of excitement that followed Im
mediately upon the heels of Bryan's nomi
nation there were revcral bets of consider
able magnitude made upon the general re
sult , but now the silver contingent wants
two to one or even better , and they don't
want much of that. Considering the In
tensely Interesting character of the cam
paign there Is less betting In Omaha than
has signalized any election during the past
ten > cars.
A large amount of republican money Is
going begging In Now York for takers nt
three to one on McKlnley. Among the bets
made In New York this week were these :
Flvo thousand dollars to $1,000 that Bryan
would carry Nebraska , and $1,000 to $33J
that ho would carry his own ward.
Harry Franklin of Dcadwood took the
Bryan end. One thousand even that Mc
Klnley would not carry Now York state
by 76,000 ; $ BOO cnch , even money , on Mc-
Klnloy carrying Kentucky and Illinois , and
$1,000 to $260 that Altgeld would have n
plurality.
The biggest wnger made In Chicago Is
$2,000 to $1,000 on McKlnley. Ex-Congress
man A. B. Taylor of Chicago Is trying to
place $50.000 on McKlulcy at 2 to 1. An
Akron. 0. , man In Chicago bet $300 that
McKlnley would carry Nebraska.
In Cincinnati a Bryan man put up $300
against $1,000 on Bryan's election. Most
betting In the Queen City Is on McKlnley's
plurality In Ohio and the result In Ken
tucky. The range is even money on 60,000
for McKlnley In Ohio , even money on Ken
tucky going for Bryan , $1.000 to $300 tlmt
McKlnley wjll be elected. $400 to $500 that
McKlnley will carry Indiana , $500 to $400
that McKlnley will carry Illinois.
The range In San Francisco Is seven to five
on SlcKlnley winning. One bet of large
proportions baa been mndo $25,000 even , on
the general result. McKlnley money Is said
to bo scarce nt the Golden Gate.
Ten thousand dollars , posted tn Louis
ville. Ky. . that McKlnley would win , has
not been touched , though the odds of 7 to r >
have been raised to 2 to I during the week
and the conditions changed so that any part
may bo taken , from $109 up. Flvo thousand
dollnrs of the $10,000 Is put up by William
Norton , pifrrlctor of the big Auditorium
and a millionaire , who Is also trying to get
some even money from the Bryan men who
have been clamoring co loudly until a week
ago. Not n dollar lias been taken.
There Is almost no Bryan money offered
In Boston. Small bets at rates of G to 3 nro
perhaps most common ; but even these , nre
fdw. Hols'on the-result tnt Now York and
IlllnoU wcro made earlier In the campaign ,
but hardly any arc being made now. No
presld utlal election since the war has
aroused * o little betting.
All torts of wagers have besn offered by
tbo republlctns of Philadelphia on the re
sult of the general election , but no dem
ocratic money Is In sight. On no previous
election has the betting been as light. Bet
ting started at G to 2 on McKlnley and In
creased by stages until as much as G to 1
has been offeredon the result , with no tak
ers. T. J. Hafner of the Star theater has
strung up a banner covering the front of the
theater , upon which Is the following : " 'I
am a Democrat Dave Hill , ' But I will bet
this theater the Star Theater , which cost
mo $50,000 cash , aeolnst $10,000 cash that
William J. Bryan will not be the next pres
ident of the United States. T , J , Hafner. "

"Talk about your dog stories , " said a
prominent sporting man the other day , "I
saw something out at Cutoff lake which
beat anything I ever heard of , I was out
there hunting snipe and saw a man riding
nround on horseback and In front of him
was circling an Irish setter. As the fellow
did not have any gun my curiosity was
aroused to know what ho was doing , but I
supposed ho was simply breaking his dog
In a few minutes I saw him rldo up to
whcro the dog was on a dead stand nnd
the horseman proceeded to Jab n polo ho
was carrying down Into the ground nm
bringing It up took something off the eiu :
oil It.
"My curiosity was greater than ever nnd
circling nround I came up with the horse
man and asked him what ho was dolug. "
"Hunting frogs , " wns the reply.
"What Is the dog doing ? " said I.
"Hunting frofis , " was the laconic answer.
" \ou don't mean to tell mo that the dog
will set the frogs , do you ? "
"I don't mean anything else. "
"A few moro questions and answers
brought out the fact that the dog had seen
his master hunting around In tbo grass for
frogs and spearing them and had of hla
own accord taken up the task of locating
the green beauties. Ho was a thoroughly
trained hunter on birds and he sonn be
came very expert In locating them , so his
owner Informed me , nnd my observations
of his movements confirmed the man's state
ments. "
"You see , " said the frog hunter , "I don'i
get qulto so many frogs by hunting aroum
In the grass near the ponds , but what I
do get are very much larger and the average
vnltio of a day's catch Is moro than I conic
get around the shores of the ponds , and then
I hunt that territory when theyappear to
bo scarce In the grass. "

SPELLBINDERSHOP
Men who have kept their eye on this "political cam
paign of education" may have noticed that every once
in a whi'e some noted character comes out from the
great educational centers of the map and throws his
eloquence over the situation to keep the excitement at
fever heat and furnish the lesser educators with fresh
backbone. These arc the king-pins the big- guns
the spellbinders of the parties the fellows who arc de
pended on to draw big crowds. This morning1 we
open up some spellbinders ourselves , and unices we
miss our guess they will prove to be the strongest ar
guments ever offered by either side as to the purchas
ing power of the poor man's dollar and the laws of
supply and demand. Spellbinder No. i is a he.ivy
double-breasted black Cheviot suit from New York ,
which we will sell at $5.00 , and spellbinder No. 2 is a
single-breasted Cheviot suit from Massachusetts , which
we will allow to orate at the rate of $6.50 a suit. These
two suits will furnish some of the strongest arguments
that have been produced this year in favor of the Ne
braska , where you can always get the most possible
clothing for the least possib e cash.

Ai.
on his door step a stranger , young and charming ,
who asks his protection. In granting this lady his roof ,
Gerald finds himself entangled in the most surprising * {

drugged , and carried near Biarritz. Going to Paris , he aji-
iji chances to sec his abductor , and he finds that the refugee # f
he has entertained is a great lady of Dalmatia. There ? fc
follows a plot which Gerald embraces for the establishment - * *
ment of Beatrice Ramaga as Princess of Dalmatia. In ?
