Anti-Saloon Fight Is Keen In Illinois No Catawba Treaty Made A tto rney Gen eralDebruhl of South Carolina Has Held That Indian Tribe Has no Valid Claim Against the State. It appears to be. t he view of the I South Carolina authorities, that Ihe! Catawba Indians do not stand much! ji a snowing ia their claims the state, as outlined in Th uns week. A Columbia says : It appears from the publication in The Charlotte News of Thursday that the Catawba Indians ;tre going to endeavor to take their claim lor land in York and Lancaster counties before the federal government.

Chief Har ris, according to the publication re ferred, to has been in Charlotte and executed before the United States commissioner a contract with an at torney in Washington who is to pros ecute the claim before one of the departments, not in the courts as a suit. The state of South Carolina appropriates every year a sum of money for these Indians, of whom there are now only a few, and it is not at all unlikely, it seems, that the stare's own money is now to be nseri in me employment of .muines io nnng action asainst the NO SMOKING FOR FIRE MEN ND POLICEMEN Board of Public Safety Passes Order That This R::le Mint Be Observed The Casino Question Comes Up and Again Goes Over.

They are Quincy, Ottawa. Peoria and ; Mast St. Louis. In the latter eitv thi- question was kent off the ballot be cause the petition was filed with the city clerk instead of with the elec tion commission. In Springfield, as before stated, the fight has been most intense. The state capital has always been a more or less open city so far as the liquor inter ests are concerned. For that reason the prohibition forces have centered their heaviest artillery on that city and have made it the scene of their most aggressive warfare. In Cairo, Danville, I'doomington, Rock ford, Al ton and other cities the methods of conducting the fight are typical of I those in use in Springfield. The tem-l pcranee people, according '1 o the state ment issued today by Alonzo E. Wil son, chairman of the prohibition state committee, are well organized, hope ful and enthusiastic, and are deter mined, that the saloon shall go. Chair man Wilson is confident that four out of every five of the cities and towns where the fight is being waged will go '-dry.' The outlook is most en couraging in regard to nearly all of the smaller places. In Springfield, Al ton. Molin and other large cities the outlook is encouraging, but the result more doubtful.

An old man over 80 years of age, who had lived the life of a hermit for twenty years, within only a half hour's ride of Broadway, died last week leaving an estate worth two million dollars. When her husband died twenty years ago he made her promise that she would not sell their little farm in the Bronx, and she kept her word. But with the rapid growth of New York the farm was eagerly sought by real estate dealers, all of them who were refused, although their offers were 'very high. However, the little frail, woman who generally wore an old j fashioned sunbonnet and shabby! clothes, stood her sxound. and lie-1 came in reality land poor, for she had difficulty in getting sufficient money to pay her taxes. The old farm with its little white house, however, remained intact, in spite of the fact that tall city buildings were erected near it. After twenty years of fighting off persistent purchasers. winch involved several lawsuits, the eccentric old lady died without any near relatives to whom she could leave her little farm valued at two million dollars. A new wrinkle was sprung on one of the clerks in the Marriage License Bureau the other day, when in pay ment for a license the applicants handed out 100 pennies of the mint age of .1008. The clerk was about ( to resent having KO much "chicken wo- 1WU buoweren upon lnm, when the young lady broke in and told him not to be angry because they would buv them back. The prospective husband then proceeded to put them back and said that he intended to have the coins which had paid for the license made into a belt for his bride. "Did he use a brick? is ihe ques tion that some of the officials high up in the Board of Education have been trying to answer with regard to tiie Inspector of Masonry, upon whose shoulders for some unknown reason- aeveioped the task of selecting pianos for the public schools. Just how the mason nualified as :i "mud. cal expert"' has not been explained but the fact remained that second-hand pianos of the "tin pan" variety were ordered for the schools at prices usually paid for new instruments. The mason-musician was suspended for a period of forty days without pay, but the school world is still speculating as to whether he used a! hrick or a trowel in testine- some! of the instruments that crept intoi the schools under his supervision ! !

They gamble on automobiles. A crowd of youngsters gather fashionable Riverside Drive. there is much autoing, and as soon as a machine is sighted the betting starts. As the machine passes you will hear various exclamations such as "I win." or "Stung, not even a pair." "Give me the coin." shouts an other, 'Tve got a full house, nines over seven."
