THIRTIETH YEAR NO. 2 7 , YETMILES LIVES. , Infatuation for the wife of Luther M. Miles caused Arthur McFarland, son of D, II. McFarland, mayor of the village, to shoot Miles Tuesday evening while returning with his wife from Xenia, . The shooting occured near the Conklin farm on the Columbus pilce about five thirty and there Is every evidence that the act was premedi­ tated with a view of faking .MII ob life, as four bullets entered his body. As Miles and his wife were driv- Ing homeward they overtook Mc­ Farland, who was walking in the same direction. Upon.reachinghim lie grabbed the horse by the bridle find yelled at Miles, “ D—you, get, out and walk and let me ride.” Miles got out of the buggy with the purpose of freeing h"is horse which McFarland was holding. As hedid so McFarland drew Itis. revolver and fired, the first shot taking effect in left lung, lie continued to lire from under the horse’ s head until ho had eraptied his revolver. Four shots entered Miles body yet lie proceeded to release' his horse. He grappled with McFarland threw him down and took his gun away. Then let , him up and he ran into the rVoods. Miles and bis wife returned to Xenia where ho yould have his wounds treated. At the McClellan hospital it was found that his chances of recovery . wore slight, yet he continues to live and there are some hopes of getting well, should blood poison not set’ in. McFarland is still at-large though the surrounding towns and cities have been given his description. The last known was on Wednesday morning when James Van Sicklej who lives on the Xenia and Clifton pike stated that he had been hired by McFarland for $1.25 to take him to Clifton the night previous. At that time Van Sickle aid hot know of any'trouble nor did McFarland give him any reason to suspect same. It is supposed that McFarland went from there iip the lower river road To amuncle, Charles McFarland, — , Miles and his wife' had gone to •Xenia Tuesday afternoon to do some shopping. McFarland saw Mrs. Mutes on the street and f 1- lowed her to her buggy where she gone to put some bundles. McFar­ land had told herthat he had just come from Dayton and was going back. He was not seen after that until the fateful event on the pike. McFarland lias for some months back been paying his attentions to the Miles woman. He is said to. have been insanely jealous of hor, this being one of the reasons ad­ vanced for tlio attompt to take Miles’ life. There has been trouble in the past that was only the fore­ runner o f the shooting. Last May while Miles was at lodge, he being # member of the I. O. O, F,, McFarland called at the Miles home and threatened to ‘’ blow out her brains” as Mrs. Miles states. He Was there the next morn­ ing again and officer Kennon hail to be called and take him away, Mc­ Farland is said to iiave had a re­ volver at the time the officer took him away. Miles owns and operates a thresh­ ing outfit and is held in the highest esteem by the fanners. He has good habits and is straightforward m all his business dealings.

Isaiah, most brilliant of the Old Testament poets, left many bright sayings on record, but nothing‘su­ perior to his denunciation of the drlnk habit. This was the first tem­ perance sermon ever delivered and Isaiah was the first-prohibition agi­ tator. The Israelites, as their his­ tory shows, suffered much from the vice of intoxication. Noah was scarcely off I ub ark until lie became beastly arunk. .*Fine fellow to start a new race with. It was because of their debai^oh at Sbittim witli the Moabite women that “ Jehovah's wrath/was kindled” against the riot­ ers and to this drunken orgy was due the subsequent extermination of the Midianites. This first “ saloon row,” as it may well be called, was the prime cause of the most brutal, cruel and inexcusable war recorded in the history of his “ chosen people.1 After-they had settled in Palestine, grape raising Was the principal agri­ cultural industry, aud they drank entirely too much of their own wiiie. By the time of Isaiah, which was in the eighth century B. C., it is evi­ dent that drunkenness in its worst form-was alarmingly prevalent. It will be noticed in the extract above that not, only the people, but the priests and prophets, were addicted to strong ,.dnnk and severely de­ nounced by the, old .temperance re­ former. " Twenty-seven eventful centuries have passed since Isaiah delivered his sermon on the “ Woes of Drunk­ enness,” and we are still .fighting the same awful curse. The twentieth century secs a battlo royal in pro­ gress between the people,of-the Uni­ ted States and the entrenched for­ ces of intoxicating liquor. Never -before was-the crisis so acute, and never before were the prospects so bright for victory over the “ demon of the still.'1 The coils are being closed around the monster in every state of the Union; and It is hoped ln.tlmo that life may be choked out o f him entirely. Ths temperance netiS. laws grow .more a»d mmt d»atjl»AHWi»|y JWmtwi,:>8»wfliWWMr>* and the determination of the masses of the people for their enforcement becomes stronger and.stronger every day. Within the last few months three Circuit Court Judges in India­ na have decided that the saloon m a nuisance, a foe'of peace and morals, and that the State has no right to license it any more than it would have a right to license murder.* What is still more remarkable, two Boards of Coupty Commissioners have refused to license saloons oh the same ground. It is pleasing to note that farmers as a class are overwhelmingly on the side of sobriety in this titanic strugglo against the chief foe of mankind and principal obstruction in the pathway of civilization. The rural districts are practically all anti-saloon, and have either driven itout or are preparing to do so. Soon these abominations will be confined exclusively to the large cities. There, wo are sorry to say, the vice still: lingers in Its worst form. Go to any fashionable hotel 'between tire- hours of H and S o’ clock and you will find w^li-dressed men and wo­ men In the cafes, eating and drink­ ing.

A number of crossings have been put down and there had been other street work which swelled the bills for the month to the amount of $042.08. The D. S. Ervin Company had a bill of $142.67 and member Andrew suggested that It be held over until the next meeting or a part payment be made so that a number of small bills could be paid. Robinett of Xenia cut his bill from nearly fifty dollars to $86 if it was paid that night. He had put in some cement work for the corpor­ ation. Mr. I. F.

Antioch Chautauqua closed last Sabbath night at Neff Grounds after a very successful toii Hays session under the direction of Dr. S. D. Fess. Tire attendance the cIosing/ day was the greatest, there being near­ ly seven thousand yiersons on the grounds. Tire efforts of Dr. Fesa m giving the Chautauqua have been greatly appreciated by the people of this county and ho. in turn has been greatly pleased by tire support given him in return. He has already announced that part of the attractions for next year have already been contracted for anil from time to time others will be signed and the list be made pub­ lic. It Is expected that the meeting next year will be held the corre­ sponding week, but this is not. defi­ nite, The principle speaker Sabbath was Governor Buclifel of Denver, Colorado,-who opolre in tbo-mormng- oti “ How Wo Got Our Bible1 and ill tire evening on "Theodore Roose­ velt, the Man of tho Hour.” There has been some rumors that a stock company wlil be organized to take charge of the Neff Grounds and conduct tho ehautauqua next year.

When it came time to sell the bonds some weeks -ago, peculiar as It.may seem, L. H. Houston pur­ chased- the bonds. Ttre -issue was for $85,000 and the premium was $625. The bonds draw interest q,t four per cent. They are not tax able which would make the rate of interest equal to six per cent. The board was paid:the money for the bonds and there was no place to put it, other than a bank. The. law requires that the board of education advertise for bids for the care of the money. Where there are banks in the district the money must be left there, providing a rate of interest equal to two per cent will be paid for tire deposit. , There is a bank fight in South Charleston abo,ut like the political tangle in Cedarville. Two banks, one owned by Iloustons and the other byRankin Bros. L. H. Hous­ ton has a brother on ;the school board but he has no interest in the bank. James Rankin Is a member of^th^school -boarfi^and-he-ro-L, H-.- Houston used shrewd tactics to get control of the $il5,000 deposit, When L, H.

He wanted all of it .and threatened the board trouble if it.was not given bin. The law makes~it illegal makes~it illegal to . deposit money in a bank wherein a member of the board or another public offi­ cial is Interested.
