BLOODHOUNDSLOSE TRAIL A robbery something ou t of the or*, dinary took place/ near Selma Tues­ day night when thieves entered the feed lot of Seth W. Smith and drove out eight head of his fat hogs. The hogs wete driven to H . P . Stewart’s Wood where a pen was built and the throats of five were cut; one baying escaped near Roht. Tindall’s farinand two in the Stewart wood. From the wood the slaughtered hogs were taken in a wagon down • the Toad and as things are a t present there is little clue as to which way they were taken, •Layton bloodhounds were s e n t. for and put on the trail, following it un­ til they refiched Clifton, The trail was lost there when opposite Lave Ilifi ’s residence, although Mr# Iliff is vtiot the least h it suspected. A tele­ phone m e£ jge to the -flearld this morning states tha t there is nothing new in the case and that it is as much o f a mystery us befor the arrival of the dogs, • To prevent disease is better than to cure if and toabolish it will be best of all:'" Smallpox has been oqe of man­ kind’s curses -lor ages, and even in these enlightened times' its ravages have more than once caused almost .-a panic in communities that pride them­ selves upon their sanitary ' conditions, Jenner’s great dicovery has robbed the pefet of much of its terrors, and only, recently*the press has ^commented in' several.cities on the fact that the dis­ appearance'of smallpox from Cleve­ land was coincident with the general resort- to "vaccination, But something better than vaccination is in store if the expectation of a Boston physician shall be realized, . Dr, W. T , Coun­ cilman of the Harvard medical school announces that he has discovered the germ of smallpox. H e finds that the disease is due to ' a micro-organism which represents the lowest form of qpimal life,. The cause once found, the' cure \vill soon follow. I f D r, Councilman’s theory shall be proved it will be another of those triumphs for medical science which have been 'scored in such hewilderibgly rapid succession in recent years. Yellow fever has been,,exterminated ,in its home; diptheria and lockjaw liitve suf* rendered„to anti-toxins; the causes of typhoid and other .fovers have been learned; even consumption is begin­ ning to yeild to modern treatment, and nothing in the wide field Of medi­ cal research now seems impossible. The days of the great .epidemics are clearly numbered. Diseases can' never be wholly banishgd, but whole nation's no longer live ip dread of pleagues, and individual suffering has been vastly mitigated. Prof. W. W. Moorehead D. D ., L .

A t the present time the Committee of One Hundred have arrested three offenders for selling liquor, Two ot them were former saloonists and the third a druggist. When the two sa­ loon men were arrested it seemed to be the general opinion that the com* mitten was acting wisely, in seeing that the laws were inforced, hut since last Saturday, when. Charles Ridgway was arrested and appeared in Mayor Lipinas’ court at Jamestown, the sen* timent, amoug a certain few, has changed. Just why it wan right for the two saloon men to be drawn over the coals and §bt so for Mr. Ridgway is more than we are able to explain. As Mr. Ridgway’s case. stands a t present he is no better than either of the former saloonists and must stand so until be is proven innocents of the charge. From the reports that are in circulation in regard' to the arrest of Mr. Ridgway they all bear the ear marks, as haying come from a few dis­ gruntled politicanS who have their headquarters a t Mr. Ridgway’s place and have used the proprietor "and his business, particularly the latter, to in fiuence a certain class when it came time to decide a measure at the polls, I f close watch is kept on these men that complain of H r, Ridgway’s arrest by the commitee they will find that they are no t only frequenters of the saloon-drugstore but political bed­ fellows as .well, and it is. with regret that these .same men cannot be taken along With their friend, “ Old Bill” as beds known among the common herd. One reason this case will prove quite interesting is that his arrest wits, somewhat a senation after the pre­ tended stand he took last fall in the local option election. To have heen caught after such steps as these showB that be fayored the voting out of the saloons for his oWn financial gain, I t is up -to-Mr, Ridgway and -his friends to prove his innocence and an anxious public awaits to see the list of wit­ nesses that will testify in his behalf. The CU§e Is set for nex t Tuesday a t Jamestown and there will he a good attendance at the trial. In order t h a t th e readers of the Herald may have some knowledge o f the case we will endeavor to arrange for a' com­ plete report giving the list- of wit* nesses, testimony, etc. FIREORDINANCE REPEALED. TWOINDICTMENTS FOUND. The Grand Ju ry which was in ses­ sion the1first three days this week finished their work Wednesday and! have reported two. indictments after examining fifty , witnesses. Fou r Cases were ignored, The most im­ portant case was that of James Foley who committed an assault on D r. Ben McClellan. Foley/was a saloon keeper and was taking revenge on this gentlemen because ho ' was a prominent citizen in the fight against saloons. The ju ry found an. indict­ ment of assault to kill against .Foley, Foster Weaklin was indicted for larceny he having stole $245 from 0 . W. Whitmer’s safe. . In temperance circles the most im­ portant Case at the present waft that of Joseph L ittler and WreX Henderson, Cedarville men whom 8quire*RarneS of Xenia bound over last week on ihe charge of perjury against Michael Carroll before Mayor Thomas. Carroll had been arrested for violating the Real Jaw and later charged tbo men with having given' perjuryed testimony. • A murder charge against Alice Munce, a mulatto girl was ignored. The ju ry passed resolutions con­ gratulating the tax payers of this county on the magnificent new court house which was recently completed and furnished, all within the appro* priation provided by. Jaw. Recom­ mendations were made to the com- ftiissioners to improve the sanitary conditions of the jail and also to heat •same from the court house heating plaut, /■: . WHO’$ TO BESHOT. , A t the meeting of council Monday evening the business for the year just closed was finished or’ taken as far os it could be a t the time, ■Owing to the absence of Messrs. North up and Smith the hills and monthly sal­ aries could not be ordered paid, They were approved aad turned over to the new council. Some of the funds are over drawn and the new members are now endeavoring to p lan . a way-to meet the payment of these bills. After adjournment of the old board the new members were sworn in and took their seats, f Mayor McFarland has announced the following standing committees: Street: Fields, Andrew, 'Walker, Gil- laugh; Finance: Andrew, Caldwell, Bull, Fields; Fife; Caldwell; Light,^ Walker; Pumps, Bull; Levy: Bull, Andrew, Gillough, Caldwell, ; The bonds for different officers were read and approved by council and signed as follows: Mayor, J . C, Bar­ ber, J . W. McLean: treasurer, T, B. Andrew, Exchange ‘ Bank; marshal, J . C. Barber, Jacob Siegler;, clerk, W, H , Owens, J R» Cooper. The first official business of the new council was to repeal the ordinance for the organization of a" new fire company. The resolution was offered' by J . H . Andrew and- was passed that evening. I t read as follow: Whereas, the village funds are. com pletely exausted and in the judgment of the village council -It would be a detriment to the tax payers o f !the village to incur any •unnecessary ex­ pense, and, whereas; by .the organiza­ tion of another volunteer fire com­ pany it Would nece.si.tate the purchase of more hose, rent fpf another room and other incidental expenses. There­ fore be it resolved by the village council of Cedarville that a resolution empowering a volunteer fire company to remove tbe engine, house, one or any yart of the fire apparatus belong­ ing to the village of Cedaryi’le' passed March 11, -1308, be aqd is hereby, repealed. _ - > —Pure apple cider vinegar a t Cooper’s, .

It Is1 I t was on Monday that Kentucky brought herself belore the public in the Hssiontioii of Attorney J . B. Marcum; I t was on Monday th a t there was some chance for the scene of action to he changed to this place, when a member of the Committee of One Hundred waft called up by tele­ phone and warned if tilings did not stop very soon, having referance to the fight against the alleged liquor dealers, there would he somebody shot. The conversation must have been rather warm between the two for shortly alter i t was found that the i telephone would not work and it was supposed that the fuse was burnt out. The member of tbe committee 1ms the name of fluhpftrty doing thp talking. I t came from a woman’* tongue.
