temperance town is not spread as far and
wide as it might be and the United States
is thickly populated with people who sus-

quantities sufficiently large to augment
a frst-class "jag." The management of
the Indian ball team, which is to play in
Evansville on June 8th, have flooded the
town with posters offering two hun
dred dollar reward for the conviction of
anyone of selling liquor to the red men.

no-license town.
