North Baltimore* 0 ., June 15,1902. . Editor American Issue; ° The Findlay district Epworth Lea­ gue which held their convention at & North Baltimore, the 13th and 14 th of June, at which over 200 delegates - were present, unanimously passed among others the following resolu­ tions; “ As loyal Methodists our position on the temperance question is \yell known, but' an unusual condition ' faces the Christian voter in Ohio, this year. The renomination o f Governor Herrick at the demand of a well known political boss, in the face of the protest of the united Christian' sentiment of ,our state, places the Christian voter in a posi­ tion that demands an uncompromis­ ing stand. We therefore call the Christianvoters Of our state to stand . by their conviction at the polls, even , at the.expense of party. _The pres­ ent condition offers the most nus- - picious opportunity over given ,the Christian voters of our state to show their strength aud make their pow­ er felt. Let every Christian voter by his ballot this fall protest against boss rule and liquor domination in — the-politicsjif Ch io ,____________ •Tiie Sandusky Ministerial Assoc­ iation, June 5th, took the following action; “ We heartily approve the action of nearly all the great ecclesiastical organizations of Ohip and adopt the sweeping resolution of the Congre­ gational association of Ohio, in ses- sion May 24, at Oherlin as our own, to wit: The Congregational association of Ohio hereby reaffirms its confidence in the -Ohio Anti-Saloon League. We commend its policy of opposing^ the election of publio officials who’ favoir the saloons. We declare our opposition to the re-election of Gov­ ernor Myron T. Herriclc, under whose' threat of veto the Br&nnock district local bpfion bill was serious- - ly weakened in the interest of the saloons, and whose /attitude toward . temperance legislation has secured for him the active support of the liquor interests of the state, and of . ' -such polit*»al leaders as George B. Cox; Governor Herrick’s renomi- ■ nation will be a direct challenge to the churches and temperance peo­ ple of Ohio, whose state and local organizations have declared and re­ affirmed their opposition to his at­ titude toward temperance legisla­ tion.” ______ The following is the resolutien a* dopted by the Wooster District Con* ference of the Methodist Episcopal church, JuneO, 1805, at WeBt Salem, Ohio: “ Ohio is shamed, humiliated, dis­ honored,, by the recent action of the state convention in putting the -dte- . publican nomine for Governor under ^the control of the corrupt boss of ‘ Cincinnati, Must Ohio submit to its noblest.cltizens becoming puppets in'the hands of such urn-American leaders? The Wooster District Con-. ference of the Methodist .Episcopal / Church' places Itself on record as opposed to the present, condition of state affairs. We stand for the peo- ■ pie in'their rights of clean polities. We can-pot support Any candidate who makes fellowship with the en­ emies of righteousness, We lament the position of our. Governor, and are driven to the position that we cannot support him in his apostasy. . We pray for his defeat and a more worthy successor. Surely the Gov­ ernor of great Ohio, should be a Chmtain statesman untainted with spoils Of sin., 1 ’ “ Schuyler E, Sears, Seely, . The church courts and the relig­ ious dross of Ohio are speaking out In plain terms concerning- the re- nomipation of Governor Myron T, Herrick to succeed himself to the office he now holds. They have hut one voice, and that is, that he ought not to have the support of Christain people after having thrat- ened to veto the Brannock .local option bill unless it was modified to suit the interests of the liquor deal­ ers. Among the more conservative of the utterances we ifhote the de­ liverance of the Ohio convention of ixtsciples which met at Newark, May 18: • ' “ We deeply deplore the attitude, of the present governor of our state toward the temeranca question, and. especially his threatened veto of the' Brannock hill unless altered to suit the demands of the liquor interests, We wish herein to express our most hearty disapproval of Governor Myron T, Herrick as candidate for renomination for governor of Ohio by his party. Not only do we pro­ test against his renomination, Dut pledge ourselves, as Christain cit­ izens to work by word, pen, aud ballot for h'is defeat at the polls in November, if renominated.|,f ; ■ , .. In the Sunday School convention . of the Tuscarawas Classis of the De­ formed church, Which ended at Wadsworth Tuesday night, the reso­ lutions which were adopted took due notice of the activity of the ac­ tion, of Governor Myron T. Herrick in the Brannock law /legislation of the last general assembly. The res­ olutions were adopted by unani­ mous vote of the delegates in. the convention‘and when they were read, the wildest enthusiasm follow­ ed, the church being crowded. The resolution which refers to Governor Herrick follows: “ Resolved, That It is the senti­ ment of this convention that Gov- ernor'Myrou T. Herrick, by his ac­ tion in connection with the Bran- neck Local Option law, has allied himself ,with the enemies of the church and Sunday school and there- ' fore is deserving of the censure of this convention, and that we put forth eva^y effort to defeat him at the election next November,” —Canton Morning News, June 19 Dayton, Ohio, June 30,—The Ohio Christian Endeavor Society today adopted, the following resolutions. ' 1. We moBt heartily approve the action of ou^legislature in passing the Brannock bid, and we believe the bill should have been allowed to stand aBpassed. 2. We deeply .deplore that con­ dition ot things which allowed our Chief Executive of State to attempt to deprecate and undo Jjheefficiency of the Brannock bill by a threatened use of the veto power. - We believe that this was done in the Interest of the. liquor traffic. 8. We deplore that our Chief Ex-- has seen fit to stand for that which is the enemy of all good govern­ ment, our homes, our schools and morality.- In thus doing he has thrown down the gauge of battle to temperance voters of Ohio. We ac­ cept it, a. d hereby pledge ourselves to be governed by this condition of things at the coming election.

The Greene County Press states in the last issue tijpt a boom has ‘ deen started for G. E, Bradfute as a candidate for state senator against F. C. Arbenz, the republican nomi­ nee. The press states that the Re­ publican nomination is distasteful to the temperance element of the party.

One of the busiest firms around here is Iliffe Brothers,' who have work in South Charleston, London and Jeffersonville, where they have forces of men putting down cement work. They also have several bridges and culberts under headway, some of which are for the new track of the Pan-Handli railroad. Their first cement silo lias been finished on the Grinnel farm near -Yellow Springs. It is expected that tills firm will have all the work in this line theyjcan possibly do when farm­ ers find, the real value o f the cement Silo, The objection to the wooden silo is that it will soon rot out, while the cement should last a life time.

He also voted for -a prafcienl repeal of the fair ground law, which prohibited: saloons within two miles of an agri­ cultural fair. This record made by Mr. Arbenz defeated him at the polls in 1899.' The.-fair-minded tom- perun ce people ot Ross county resen­ ted his servility to the liquor intner- ests and sent Robert Irvin, a Demo­ crat, -to the General Assembly. During that campaign the brewer’ s Association sent out a personal ap­ peal to the liquor dealers of “Ross county to support Mr. Arbenz be­ cause lie had been their champion.

Miller, Secretary, Room R04 Johnston Bldg Cincinnati, O. Long Dlntance Telephone No, 1227 (O on V im n t ia i *.) . Cincinnati, Nov. 4,1899. Dear gir:—Feeling confident that you will appreciate the Importance to yourself of tlio inlormatlon which I am about to give to you, and that yon will consider this communica­ tion as strictly confidential, I tako the liberty to adciresB„you these few lines, with the solo purpose In view of protecting and advancing our mutual Interest, You are doubtless aware of the fact that during the last session of tile Ohio Legislature the Anti Saloon League made very great efforts to secure the passagof several Temper­ ance measures which would have greatly -Injured our business—the liquor traffic in general. After they failed in this they made strenuous efforts to prevent rthe epeal of the Fair Ground Law and the amending of the Adair Law. We defeated them at every,point, but oar suc­ cess was o.nly obtained after the most diligent"and difficult labor. In every battle wo had ns a most able and reliable frlqnd, Hon. F. C. Arbenz, As you know, tills gentleman Is now a candidate for re-olecllon to the legislature, and it Is the DUTY of everyone interested In the liquor traffic to stand by him, VOTE for* him and secure for him as many votes as possible, The Anti-Saloon League is making nvory effort to regain the ground lost during the session of the last Ohio legislature, and they are making an especially hard fight against this particular candidate BECAUSE /OF HIS FRIEND SHIP FOKOURCAUSE! In our effort to protect ourselves and onr interest against destruction we should forget politics and vote for those whom wo KNOW TO RE OUR FRIENDS! Here Is ono who lms proven himself our friend—ho deserves our support. In your efforts for his success anti your own, do your work in a quiet way. so Os to avoid arousing fujtber opposition, but do everything 'you can to help the cause at this tirise. WecanthuB best deal'a death-blow to the Ahti- Saloon League and assure our own future security and welfare. This is written at the joint request of the Ohio State Liquor League, the Ohio Wine and Spirit Association, and: Y,mira sincerely, JOE •'A, MILLER, Secretary; Air. Arbenz is now a candidate for election from the district aforesaid. He is no less onr enemy than before —rather more so; because, lie hopes now' to revenge himself for the de­ feat- administered him in Ross coun­ ty.—American Isue. swass J98S ENDOWMENT FUND IS COMPLETE. Mr, John R. Lyons of Marissa, 111,, for years a bountiful beuofac- t-orof Cedarville College, lias just sent his draft of five-hundred dollars toward the completion of the Harper endowment fund. The giftis inten­ ded for improving fund, and as a memorial to his son, James Lyons, who died in the Civil war in the de­ fence of the Union.

The outlook for the 'college along all lines was never so encouraging before, FIRST BAND CONCERT. Tlie ffribband concert given by the II,'of P. band took place last Satur­ day night, in front of the opera house. Although the rain earlier In the evening kept many from getting out, therefwas a fair sized crowd. The concert was well received and It is to be hoped that they can be made regular as every dne enjoys good m sic. It would be much b< tter if here was a stand at some convent, it place where the band could be seated.

A QUIET FOURTH, Tho Fourth of July for Cedarville was a very quiet one, probably one of the quietest ever known. There was not near tho noise ns on former occasions and only one accidont of any consequence. During tlie evening “ Boon” Fisher was celebrating with a large eannori cracker andjield it just a Rocond to long. The shortness of time had nothing to do with it for !f lie hail hold the exploslvo an hour his hand would not have suffered worse. The explosion lacerated and burnt his right hand but not seriously. The town was practically deserted through tlie day the majority of tlie people going to South Charleston. Others went to Jamestown, Xenia, Springfield. There were several picnic parties itt Oliflori and at the Neff Grounds. RECEIVED A CALL. If THE LODGE, Prof, F. L. Alexander, who- for two years has, been Grand Keeper of Records and seals of the Grand Lodge of Knigbts of Pythias, was given the highest honors at the meeting in Urbana last week ever given a member of the lodge. For meritorious work he was awarded a gold medal arid given an honorary past grand chancellorship an honor never before conferred. Prof. Atexander will not devote any more of his time in teaching be­ lieving that the twenty years lie has been teaching is enough. He has just declined a position at; Wheel­ ing, W. Vfti as principal in tho pub­ lic schools of that city. The position carried witli it a salary Of $1,000 a year', nearly twice as much as he received horo.. • Mr. Alexander has two- other po­ sitions offered him, which ' 'pay equally as well ns the Wheeliug job, but lias not decided which he will accept. If work for the tomerance puts a man, out of n position as in Mr. Alexander’s cubo , and then have all these good things laid at his feet, it might he well for some who were responsible for the colored people being denied such an able instructor, to take a band in the work, thus making it unnecessary to, have to draw salaries before they are earned. Tiie only thing Mr. Alexander has lost by his stand on the question of the hour is his place in the public schools, which amounts to but lit­ tle compared with tho tempting of­ fers he declined. The community is the looser in that a good citizen and efficient instructor is to leave us. “~r~" lCij-tlftS Rev. Thomas Turner whr ^as been located at Idaville, Ind., for a cou­ ple of years as pastor of the R.

The centennial celebration of Champaign county at Urbana the first three days of the week Was one of the most important events ever yet recorded in the county. It is said that; op _the ,4th there were 30,000 visitors in the city. Vice- president and Mrs. Fairbanks were present. The Vice-president deliv­ ered an address in the afternoon. The industrial parade is said to have been magnificent. COUNCIL MEETING. A called meeting of council was held last Friday evening to discuss the cement gutter question in which the street commissioner has been enjoined from taking up the cement gutter put down by Mr. J. H* W o l­ ford. Council decided to give Mr, Wolford five days notice to take up the gutter or that the -corporation would take it up. The injunction is to be disregarded. , Borne of the residents of south Main street are now talking of put­ ting down curb and and want a grade established. T. B. Andrew wnB present and urged thatthe grade be established. There lias since been considerable objection on the part of the property owners in that they are not in favor of setting out two feet owing to tlie narrowness of the street, . BARGAINS.

DAYTON HONORS PATTERSON. Forty thousand Dayton people gathered to do honor to John H. Patterson, President of the National Cash Register Company, Monday on his home Coming after a years absence on trip around the world. It is said that never in the history of the United States or of any other country lias there been recorded such a demonstration as that in Dayton Monday* The' entire city was gaily decorated with American flags and crimson and gold, the N. O. R, colors. The city presented tlie great philanthropist with a lov­ ing cup, LABOR DIFFICULTY. There was a little labor difficulty at .he paper m llf Inst week in that tho men employed in the machine room concluded1 to strike. There eight o f them in the walk out. An adjustment was reached where* in ail Were taken hack but two, Clar­ ence Northup and Henry Maze. Man&ger Jjttlo and Superlntendant Smith succeeded in securing two men from Xowa to fill the vacancies. The state examiner for villages was here last week and made an in­ spection of the different books un­ der the care of the mayor, treasurer and clerk. The account given by \ the administrations official organ only gave a partial explanation of some of the discrepancies and the Herald has made an effort to find out just where the differances exist­ ed. , A bond for $850with interest, $21, was due June the 12th and there was not enough' money- in- the treasury’ - to pay it. Mr. Siegler, the treasurer, paid the differance out^ of his own ; finances and was to hold it until therewas enoughmon,ey to pay him. The examiner comes along and had Mr. Siegler give his personal cheek to tho corporation for the full amount. The tronblo was that coun­ cil made no provision for puyingthis bond when it fell due. The examiner also forind that* the money in the back was short $20 and here is where tiie official organ fell sliort Inmaking no explanation. This amount is what Mr. Siegler advanced to S. C. Wrightsome time ■ ago, before his salary was due. It was dribbled out in two lots. One of $15 to go to Indiana and another of $5 to go to Springfield. Of coarse Mr. Siegler had to make this good and with the bond,' $860, he turned over some $390. „ . It was sta|ed in the Herald some time ago that Mr. Siegler was the only official that was keeping bis books as directed by the state audi­ tor and this we still hold to, though the other officials have since then adopted the states methods. There was no shortage other than the $20which the proprietor of the official’ organ was responsible for and which lie took good care not to make mention of. Mr* Siegler did wrong in advanc­ ing money before it was earned and in tne future should tarn those of­ ficials, who cannot wait until the proper time for their money, over to the township trustees.
