A QUEER BET WITH CHAS. BEAUCHAMP AS TO WHICH OUR NEXT PRESIDENT WILL BE

Quite a queer bet was made a few days since by C. G. Fennell and Chas. Beauchamp as to who our next president would be.    Fennell is a democrat but he took the odds on McKinley.   He has agreed with Chas Beauchamp that if Bryan is elected he will wear a suit of Chas. Beauchamp's clothes for one month and if Bryan is elected Chas. is to wear a suit of clothes belonging to Fennell one month.  This is quite a curious bet and the outcome will be watched with interest.   The question now arises is, who has the odds.   Answers solicited at this office.
