Preparations are now being made
for the first boat ride and dance to
be given by the Folly Social Club,
on the Steamer Sidney, Thursday
night, February 8, 1916.
The club has for its members all
local young men who have gained
somewhat of a reputation as enter
tanners, and the arrangement COM
mittee for this dance is a very COM
petent one, consisting of the follow
ing gentlemen: F. F. Ryan, chair
man; E. keenan,, ex-officio; E. Har-
ding. B. Barrett, E. Hotard.
The admission fee will be soc a
couple, and Csc for each additional
lady or child, and judging from the
rapidity in which tickets are being
disposed of, a very large crowd is
anticipated.

SAFETY FIRST

Foto's new Folly Theatre has add
ed a new innovation which will be
appreciated by the many who at
tend the shows there nightly. All of
the exit doors in the new theatre
have been equipped with a patented
device whereby any child or person
by merely coming in contact with
the door releases all of the fasten-
ings and permits the door to swing
outward. The handle bars on these
doors which go cross-ways are about
the height of a child's head. Lean
ing only slightly against this bar,
releases all the fastenings and per-
mits the doors to be open. In the
case of a stampede due to any cause,
all of the exits of course would be
used simultaneously and there would
be no distractions whatever as the
crowd going against the door would
automatically release the fastenings
and open it. These Improvements
have been put on at great expense
and Mr.. Foto deserves the congratu-
lations of his many patrons in hav-
ing the foresight for giving every
protection possible against fire or
accident of any kind.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

The parade on Saturday night
brought back to many, visions of
genuine campaign time when the pa
rade of the Regular Democrats took
place on this side of the river.
All of the precinct leaders had
large crowds of their supporters out
in line when they went to the city
to form part of the big parade which
later attended the speaking at the
Athenaeum when Mayor Behrman
addressed the gathering.
The voters of the first and second
precincts assembled at Pythian Hall,
and those of the 3rd precinct at Sill
dell and Brooklyn avenue. The 4th
precinct met at Patterson and Val
lette streets. the 5th precinct at Eve
lima and Elmira, the 9Th precinct
forming at Opelousas and Elmira.
The usual lanterns and fireworks
added to the enthusiasm of the reg
ular voters.

son and take "a swing around the
circle" The question everywhere askeI
is "Whv Is he doing it,?
On the surface of tnings, the P.-si-

some phases of his legislative program,

defense should be taken. are said to
be ieopardizing the Administration DC

that in the present situation the people

Further. they take the view that in

TWO INDIAN CASES DECIDED
Supreme Court Passes on Status of
Indian Citizenship.

Washington, June 13. - Holding
that Indians are not made citizens
of the United States by receipt of
allotments of land, the supreme court
today sustained an indictment
against Fred Nico, charged with sell
ing liquor at Carter. S. D.. to George
Cortier, a Sioux, with allotted land.
The defense claimed that state law
applied to the case.
Jurisdiction of the federal govern
ment to try offenses of Indians in
volving immortality committed on In
dian reservations was denied today
by the supreme court. The court
held congress had left the personal
and domestic relations of Indians to
be dealt with under the laws and Gus
toms of the respective tribes.
