CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
WHY llliNOlSANS ARE
CALLED SUCKERS.
BY A. W. MACY.

Two or three explanations Of
why the people Of Illinois are
called suckers" have been
given. but probably the most
plausible is the one In conncc
ton with the lead mines at Ca
lena. In the early settlement or
the Mississippi valley marvellous
stories were circulated concern
inq fortunes made at the mines.
and these attracted to Galena and
vicinity a great many ct the I'LL
nois farmers, especially from he
lower portion Of the state. It
was customary for them, after
putting In their spring crops, TO
ascend the Mississippi and la
Dor at the mines until fall, and
then return to gather their
crops: thus initiating the fish
called suckers, which ascend the
river In spring TO deposit their
spawn, and return In the fall.
Hence such persons were called
"Suckers," and the term be-.
came general In is application
to all tho citizens Of the state.

Loewe Boys Make Good.

years ago and who are making good
in the business world:
"A II. and III. II. Lowe, who arrived
here recently from San Francisco, are
making preparation to open a tailor
ing establishment in the Bristol
building. These young men have
been engaged in the tailoring bust
ness nearly all their lives and in San
Francisco they have an enviable repu-
tation for first-class work, with the
quality of workmanship and snappy
style that everybody desires but
is so hard to find"
These boys are the sons OF II. A..
Lowe of this city and learned the
trade of their father, who is an ex-
pert workman. The many friends Of
the boys here are pleased to know
they are getting along and making
good.

BIC MEETING
IN OPERA HOUSE
Campaign For Local Option
In Full Blast
HON. JOHN LEHR SPOKE
Gave Powerful Address From A Cath
Ole Standpoint-Saloons Must Go

The Sunday meetings In the opera
house, both afternoon and evening,
were largely attended, the one In the
afternoon by men only, and the even
| ing meeting by a union Of all the
churches and all classes of people.
Both meetings were addressed by
Hon. John c. Lehr of Port Huron, who
is an attorney OF that city and one OF
the members OF the official board Of
the state Maccabee order and a
prominent layman OF the Catholic
church. He certainly gave two as
powerful and convincing speeches on
the question OF saloons or no saloons
as was ever listened to in this city.
He is a fine speaker and uses no
superfiuous words in clinching his
arguments. He said in his opening
that he would not entertain the audi
ence with temperance harangue,
and Immediately launched into a most
splendid argument in favor OF keep
ing the saloon out Of our city and
county. He said it was not the men
who are engaged or who may wish to
engage in the business that local
option forces are after, but it is the
business they carry on and the clos
ing out and keeping out of the liquor
traffic with the vice and crime, pow
erty and misery IT entails on any
community wherever the open saloon
is tolerated. He pointed out the
serious problem confronting us, OF in
viting the return of the open traffic
and the saloon to our city and county
again after successful two years
trial without 1t, and asked the voters
to think seriously before voting
against the interests of the wife and
home of the man who Is addicted to
the use of liquor and unable to with
stand the temptations which an open
saloon invites and encourages. In a
most interesting and thoughtful way
he refuted the statements being given
out in the state press by the OPP
ponents that the Catholic church and
it's principles were opposed to the
suppression Of the liquor traffic and
characterized II as base SANDER on
the church. supporting his argument
by many quotations from priests and
bishops high in authority. He
closed with an earnest appeal to the
voters to go to the polls on April
third and keep the county dry
Orlo Morse had charge OF the after
noon meeting and f. B. Lapham in
the evening. The male quartet, com
posed OF Fred Cornell, <. w. Little,
