Th# $50,000 desired by President Baker will be forth coming and will b# produced by tho citizens of Springfield and residents along tho proposed route of tha branch line. This fact was made evident at a meeting hold in Springfield Friday in tho Commercial Club rooms. The mooting was attended by mer* charts, hankers, two representa­ tives of Cincinnati bond houses, farmers and buslnosomen along th# proposed route and in Cedarvlll# afld Clifton. It was reported at this meeting that th# right of way would ho clfc&r and would meet all tho requirements asked hy Mr. Baker. President Baker and hio attorney returned horn# Friday from Cleve­ land, whore they wont to consult th# president of the Hprlugfleld and Xenia Traction Company in regard to an entrance Into Springfield. The B. & X. Company had at first de­ manded $19,000 for tho joint uso of tho tracks into Bprhigficld. This was considered unreasonable and Mr. Baker’s visit was made for tho purpose of urging a more liberal figure. In this Mr. Baker was suc­ cessful, the amount being lowered to about $8,900. j SPRAYING SOLUTION. To spray^trees and shrubbery, get Rex Lime and Bulphur solution, th# heel on th# market, C, M.

The county ofliolnls were with the dry#, The city of Chillicothe gave a wet ma­ jority of 1,800, while the county out­ side the city gave a majority to the wets of about 200, There seemed to bo little interest over the county, tho anti-saloon league being unable to get the peo pi# aroused. The madufacturers and merchants wer# active for the wets. While Ohillicothe Is a city of over 12,009 people and wds voting wet Springfield a city of 60,000 waa be­ ing made dry owing to a recent election wherein the drys won. Wednesday was the last day and the liquor business in Springfield the past week has been the greatest in the history of the city. Thous­ ands in tho city and adjdfiiing counties have laid in a store for the three years drouth that has fallen on the city. Little business has been done by other merchants during the week as those who wanted liquor and had the money to purchase It took r vantage of the low prices. Delivery wagons and drays have h##u busy and it is said that the saloon­ keepers hadlittlelefton their hands when they quit business at. eleven o’clock Wednesday night. - >Prof, Ilemstreefc will bo in Cc dacvili# Frldny night April 30 and two ladles or one lady and ©no gouHeman will be admitted on oho paid 23c ticket if At the opera house before 8:15 p. m. or tbin>, C ity <# foMttxT, i ■ 1.11AM.'.<>;»nr j 85 F rank ,T. < m « n * t irabM o*tli that he is Seniorpartner of in* firm of K, J.
