W<M>t--Ava3- probably fRo“ largestj Vlio'Ooh^roSftlonqFWtuatiu^tobS;' barn lire that has taken place In the j a more complex form last Saturday when it became known that former Diary and Food Commissioner, Horace Abkeney was willing' to risk his name wijfchthe warring factions Anktpey ivpnflrsfcdistinction in this county bydefeatlng ‘ ‘Doe” Snyder for representative in the State legist lature several yeargaga. The fight county In the last twenty-five years happened early Monday morning, Shortly before three o’ clock firewas. discovered in the main barn on the Alexander Turnbull farm,south of town. By the time Mr'. Turnbull and his son, Wro. who resides near,# arrived the structurewas a mass of flames. The horses wertrall down Was won In the primary on the tem- andifc was impossible to brvo a perance ibbuo . Anjieney had the Single thing, There were three bams, closely together and work.was started in getting out the live stock. About one- hundred bend, of fine Marino sheep, two horses and some cattle were liberated before the fire reached the second barn. •Mr.' Turn- bull, "Wm. and' his wife carried water andmade everypossible effort to save the bujlding but their work was invain* The Wnutethat the fire , reached the hay work ceased. There had bpert a heavy rain the dayprevious and every thing was dampwhich no doubt accounted for saving the building as long as they did. Had the roof not been, wet from the rain.it is probable that the second barn,- and contents would have..been destroyed before jhe _ rescurers arrived. Tim third barn • ’ burned with out much effort to Save it as, the high wind drove' the , angry fiames’over it. The heat from the fire was Intense and in a few minutes after the fire was umler headway itwasimppssble . to get hear the burning buildings. The light could be seen for miles and it was as light as day, People m town,were awakened by t ie light in tholrvooms. Sabbath night and .Monday ‘ morning, were withpiif : doubt the worst flights so far this ‘ winter. There wgaa constant galp pf wind whicli would bring disaster whomever fire started, ; The loss on the barns and con­ tents has been variously estimated from $8,000 to $10,000 with $2,500in­ surance in , the Greene’ County •Mutual and $600 With' theW, la Clematis agency, 4 The buildings were’ estimated to be worth $5,000., There were .six ■head of hbfseso and two head- of mules burned. Thirty head of . registered Merino rams just ready for market, Alexander Turnbull & Son are known in most every state ‘ in the union as breederso f finesheep The loss ih this one .respect will probably reach $2,500. There was 2,000 bushels of corn on , the barn floor which constituted the major portion of this years'crop. A crib nearby that was filled was not in danger at anytime. It is estimated there were was forty tons of hay and 200 bushels ,of .bats consumed along with a straw rick. All the harness on the place .with the exception of ope set was burned. Only one corn planter and a new farm wagon were lost among the farm implements. Just how the fire started will likely never he known though it is thought that it might have been started by some one who, was out hunting, feed, As far ns known there was no one at the barn after five o’ clock Sabbath evening when the feeding was finished. With the wind as it was it would he impossible for a fire to start early in the even­ ing and smoulder for nearly ten flours. Mrs, Turnbull arose about two o’ clock that flight to fix the furnace fire and there was no signs of fire at that rime. Messrs. J. H. Stormont, Oliver Garlough and Geo, W. Rile, the adjusters for the Mutual inspected the fire Monday and Will report a complete-loss. This is the second fire this winter for this company, the B. M, Murdock barn being the other. The loss On the two will total $3,40(1and Mr. Stormont stated to the Herald that at a meeting Of the directors to be held Soon an assessment bf about 13 cents Will have to he made. Mr, Clefliaus. re­ turned his amount as a total loss. Mr. R. B. Barber fcindiy donated the use of a team to Mr. Turnbull to do hid feeding, Mr, and Mrs. Turnbullextend tbanas to the many friends who have vOluntered their services and also to those who have expressed sympathy in the loss. ONCE MORE. -The management of the Herald once more calls attention Of a few subscribers that they are in arrears, tinder a now ruling of the Tostal Department lire are required fo keep newspaper accounts closely collect­ ed, It Is easy to forget such things hence this reminder, NOTICE. backing of the Anti-Saloon Deague and always stood for this organiza­ tion’s principles. While Diary and jFood Commissioner he made a rec­ ord in office 'and won higher tdis- tmotiop for himself. According to political dope . Jesse Taylor of Jamestown will noJ^fitmafit any by the entrance of Anlcehey in the race. , Another candidate imagines he will hear bis ■voice in the halls of the National Hou&e apd has accordingly announced himself for Congress representing this the “ Bloomy-Sixth,’ ’ W?C Bishop of Clermont county, where a political scrap Is a9 common ‘as a noonday meal, willscorne as a Hildebranfc supporter and trustee luck in get­ ting the nomination. ' Bishop, has been Hildebrantis right-hand man for'- several years /and thoroughly understands the situation. He is a lawyer by - profession and thinks himself qualified for the place. With Mayor Clarence' Selllientz of Yellow-Springs, who- might lie said to be the handsomest man in the raceAnd one of wealth and influence it means that the Republicans will not lack for timber m making a choice. "’ Boss Schmidt is certainly looking down his noSe these days since two o f t' rhis, congressional committee members refused to sign the call/ There has nothing happened so far that hae had as depressing effect on the SchmidtmoVeifleiit as this orie act. It virtually means. that these two men recognized "that the- Snlith- Scroggy committee was noihfbg more than a body saillng.under the name of a congressional committee without the least sign of power- The Hildebrand aommitfceaij*. now b<fipg recognized as the only t%w?Kl which has brought the sour expres­ sion on the corpulent Dutchman’s face. Boss Schmidt did not recog­ nize that he was buying a gold brulk when he entered.,into a compact two years agb with the Anti-Hildebrknf people of Clinton county in order that he could have a say in the then regular congressional convention,; Since then fate has turm d against Schmidt, The Rorakec-Taft fight will have a great effect on the congressional situation in this district. This is Foraker’# home .district .and of course the Fire-Alarm Senator will be expected to protect, his political interests. To do this he must have ardent work of his supporters and followers. Boss Schmidt will be expected to hold the whip hand'and deliver Greene county as per advanced - order. The Boss will have hard sledding if the Herald is able tomake any prediction. This is a county .of homes and the. voters are largely a church going people and there may have to be some ex­ planation as to why the Senator defended Reed Smoot, the Mofmart, when his'seat was ’ outested. We are afraid that Jesse Taylor will have to unload some of Ids ballast as he has been a strong Foraker ex­ ponent. But then Taylor may have backed down sit.ee Foraker lin9taken to the “ toll, and uncut.” : We do not doubt but, that several of the Greene county oifice holders Would be glad to eat “ eroV and get lh the Taft hand wagon, Hero is where ScldiCntz shin»;S, he having declared for Taft at the start, for be upholds the present administration and wants a-matt for president that will carry out the Roosevelt policy. ThoHildebrant congressional con­ vention will be held in Loveland, February 23, the same day and dote Xenia. TheHlldebraiit people took Awise courseto setting the time of their eonvefitiett* It will be »mpds« aibieior Sehmidfc, *Bine 6 * efe.at* to ottefitl both conventions and have thing# their own way. Hiidehrant hat announced that hewill not he a candidate under any eireumstattiie andwill not take part other than that, of a eommitteeman and onein­ terested in thesueeess oi the party.

The office of county treasurer look# the. best as the crisp greenback aiid jingle of the gold and silver will at­ tract many who want to bo. custo- diar.D-stfhocxchcquer.— Sir—Issua Dine# I k said to have his eagle eye on thisjob. Now “ Ike” has mana­ ged many campaigns hoth in the Republican party and the Demo­ cratic as well, he having been born and nourished in that faith. Tfie field of operation was too small, c .- sq Isaac flopped » b did his .master, Boss Schmidt.- “ Ike” may h'av< made pom# success, as the 'distribu ter of the finances for some eamil date, hut we. really doubt his capa- ' bilifcy with so important a place. Then if Dines b to be chosen treas­ urer it, would be hard to tell just who would he running the. business, he .or Schmidt. The Hernid would stand for any other nominee for this important ofllce than Dines, who we douht would be a candidate at the show down. In ttiis d,ay of politics, Ieiiao’ s lino would certain­ ly he washed thread-bare. The latest candidate to announce for congressional honors is Charles A. -Brannock of Batavia, Clermont county. The division In the dis­ trict seemed to attract Briinnock who wishes to subceed M R. DenVei* the present Democratic congress­ man. Brannock, like Taylor .and' Ahkeney lias been interested in the anti-saloon work, he glaring, been the author of the local option bill which bears Ills name. The advent of so many active anti-saloon ad­ herents in the race will mean that there will be some active campaign­ ing. According to Washington dis­ patches Tuesday the name of Frank Orr ha#been sent to the Senate as postmaster.at Xenia, As Orr has had one .term and hashebn connect­ ed with the Foraker faction id the county some inside work must have been done- to get the president’s consent. Seflator Dick is quoted as saying that he did not know who recommended Orr but that ne would investigate. The President ■has sent few appointments in that have had the endorsement Of Foraker or Dick.
