TOWDRKS. RidgwayPaid Both Fines. Tho Bidgway pln-ass "My Mayor and My Policies" eamo near being Wotted out Tuesday when a delega­ tion of a dozen or fifteen members of tho W. O. T. U. and residents of North Main street made their ap­ pearance at the Mayor’s office that afternoon to see for themselves that Mayor Andrew take some action at once in clearing out a disorderly house. As stated a number ot times, Neil Masslo has been a terror where over ho has lived while a resident of this place. He was.'the instigator of of .much trouble on Bast street and was arrested a time or two but al­ ways escaped by the good graces of Mayor Andrew in being discharged or given only a light fine. This same man has been living with his paramour, Mrs. Ollie Gor­ don, and tl i two have lived a most degraded life. Complaints went un­ noticed time after time until an aroused public- would not stand for it any longer, The proposition was squarely put to His Honor and he could choose between the delegation that was before him or*the man and woman in the case. The Massie trouble was started on Monday night and the Mayor went to the scene of action but it is said that Massie kept His Honor on the go and that there was always about a square between them. Tuesday morning Mrs.. Gordon decided to move and secured Con­ stable Kennon and his dray to take her effects, away. When the Officer appeared there was a dispute be­ tween man and woman over some of the personal property. Massie became'abusive and the officer had to resort to desperate methods and landed a blow with his fist that brought the offender under control. By this time the neighbors were ail out and a delegation loaded the fellow Into the dray and he was handed to the jail and locked, up. =• Mrs, W. H. Barber filed an affidav­ it against Mrs, Gordon for keeping a disorderly house attd the Mayor as­ sessed a fine and ordered her out o f town. ■■ Ihg an officer. The continuation of all this trouble has been duo to the policy that Mayor Andrew has persued since ho has been in office. Every act has been to extend his power In a political way rather than en­ force the laws and ordinances in behalf of the peace and dignity of the village. , f Marshal McLean has made Bevel al arrests of late only to ’see his prison­ ers discharged by the Mayor or allowed their freedom by a light fine I t is known that both J, H. and and T. B. Andrew have great fear o f MasBie and it is generally be­ lieved that the fellow is in posses­ sion of certain information that he has held a club over them, Massie was one of the Andrew lieutenants last fall when the Mayor was elected and performed good work in getting out the vote among his friends.

THE WHEN AlcftJo jeSpringfloM, Ohio. 0 . M. Bidgway, whoso drugstore was raided in July 1908 and was arrested and convicted before May­ or Wolford on two separate charges for violating the liquor laws has finally paid both fines amounting to $100 and costs. The cases were appealed to the Common Pleas Court, Circuit and Supremo Courts and in each in­ stance the mayor was sustained. When tho mandate from the Sup­ reme Court was returned to the Clerk of Court and the Sheriff given an execution to collect the the fines, Bidgway filed an injunc­ tion suit to stop same on the grounds that the records were in­ complete. Judge Kyle refused the injunction, Ridgway has already been put on for the Dow tax which amounts to a great deal more than the fines and there will no doubt be another battle to collect this. However there is no way to defeat it in that both fines are now paid and a testi­ mony of the first oases will hold in the Dow tax suit. CountyAuditor WonSuit. Judge Kyle handed down a de­ cision Monday in the suit of County Auditor W. L. Dean against the County Commissioners where $1,800 of the county fee fund, had been transferred to the interest and sink­ ing fund. The transfer was made during Auditor Dodd's incumbency and loft the office force without pay. The Court held that the Com­ missioners ' could not authorize tho Auditor to make such a transfer but that1such transfer must he by their act. TAX RATE. The coanty tax rate as fixed by the county commissioners will bo nation property as the new valuation does not go into effect until December 1911. HOG CHOLERA. Hundreds of hogs m the state are dying / from cholera according to State Veterinarian, Paul Fischer. This causes thousands of dollars loss, and tho state with its limited equipment cannot turn out serum enough to meet the demand. This remedy is a sure cure for tiie dread malady, if used in time. Present weather conditions, abundant rams, aud ho* and sultry days, are favor­ able for the development and trans­ mission of the disease. Since the first of the year, 6,000 head of swine have been treated with soruin and protected against cholera by the state veterinarian and his assistants. At present there are formal applications calling for tho protection of over 10,000 head of threatened swine, laying in Dr. Fis­ cher’s offleo. Special effort will be. made to reach these herds as promptly as possible, in order to protect tho owners from serious loss. Onaccount of tho great demand tor serum, which is far beyond the ca­ pacity of the state plant, it is almost impossible to give prompt attention to the treatment of well herds. Applications are taken care of as nearly as possibles in the order in which tlie,v> aro received, and the early applications o£ course receive first attention. Owners of infected herds aro given pretoronco as to time in tho order of treatment with serum. I f reported promptly most pigs in tiio infected horde call be saved aud the board of live1stock commissioners pay owners a liberal amount for the carcasses of pigs affected with acute cholora and be­ yond tho help of serum treatment. The blood of these pigs is used in the treatment of the labaratory pigs which pfoduco tho serum. The prompt reporting of infected herds is beneficial nr ’ only to tho owners but to their neighbors, who will ben­ efit by tho suppression of tho disease on adjoining farms. During tho past year 15,090 head of hogs have boon protected tinder tho supervision of tho state. Tho work has beon a complete success, economically ao well as from a san­ itary point of view. Ohio is taking the lead, and veterinarians from other states, and oven from Europe, have vlBitcd tho eoranx plant in order to study tho methods so suc­ cessfully employed by tho state commission of livestock commission­ ers. k y •fjr«n«theatnf te e nm tm m i f mitt* «u> action of tho tort* fir, 1MW Hetve ttti ***.! h ***** at ***** oiiDAimiUB, on o , rcuiUY, tone 24,1910 MUCH $1.00 A YEAR. LANDVALUATIONS ARECOMPLETE. Quadrennial Appraiser for Cedftr- vilie township, J. H. Stormont baa finished his work and made his re­ turn to County Auditor Dean, The work of the township apprais­ ers have been watched with some interest in that several meetings have beeii held for the purpose of Ignoring the law as to making the appraisement at full value. When tho work was first started the appraisers agreed to place the valuation so that the average would be $35 per acre, which was about three dollars higher than the ap praisement ten years ago. Finally the new law was passed which com­ pelled a full valuation aud there was a desire to evade this but a notice from the State Auditor required a compliance with tho law. . Mr. Stormont has given us the following interesting figures: Arable and plow laud 18, 568.71acres Permanent pasture laud " 2,667.74acres Uncultivated and Wood land 3,281.20 acres Total, 24,407.65 acres VALUES Value In roads $21110, Value of lands, roads deducted. $1,517,080. 1 ' Value of Houses, $129,290. Value of Mills, $3,000. Value other buildings, $93,670. Value Land and and buildings, $1,743,590. Value per acre without buildings, $62.18. Value per acre with buildings, $71.44. For comparison we give the follow­ ing figures of the township and school district on the old valuation which.inciudes the personal proper- erty; - : Township school district, $913,060 Township including village, 1,661,711 Township exclusive village $1,808,289 The personal property valuations for 1910 in the township are about $315,000which added to the proposed land valuations would make a grand total of $2, 058,590. Of course the land valuations may bo increased or decreased by the equalization BAD ON BEES. This is hard weather on 'tho ap- airiats. Beekeepers, not only of Union county, but all over tbe state are complaining that their bees aro dying of starvation, as they think, due to the fact the flowers are not blooming as usual at this time of the year, hence tho bees have not their usual source of nourishment. However, Mr., N. 13. Shaw, of the state agricultural department, does not believe this to bo tbe cause, as the white clover, which is a very important source of honey is in the flower. He thinks that it is tho di­ sease callod "fou l brood," which has beon discovered to exist in many counties of the state, Union not being one of tho number. There are a good many beekeepers In that county, not only a few that have re­ ported that the broods are dying,— Ex.

Copenhagen,- -Whatever may be tho truth of tho claim of tho anti- prohibition in war is subsiding there is no doubt in tho world as to how Be/eden stands on the question. A plebiscite was recently hold In the kingdom on the question of the prohibition of tho liquor traffic through all Sweden. The vote showed 1 , 700,000 for prohibition and only 12,509 agasnst, Tho fiwsdes voted with knowledge as the liquor laws in the northern kingkom are strictly enforced. NEW HOMEEDITION. WON msPOINT. The delegation of the W. C. T.U, that forced Mayor Andrew on Tues­ day to take some action concerning law enforcement only brings up what several other persons about town have experienced after appeal­ ing to that court for aid and pro­ tection. Some weeks ago Mrs. Minni Hamilton and Mrs. Saliie Baker ap­ peared before Mayor Andrew for papers asking for the arrest of an offender of the peace. The Mayor followed his usual policy of delay In such cases and finally Mrs. Ham­ ilton secured an affidavit drawn and sworn to m the proper form and demanded that the mayor proceed. This was a broad step for the Ridg- .vay crea tive and of course could not act until he secured ad­ vice, The warrant was later issued by the Mayor for tbe offender but the fellow was given a tip to leave town or he would be arrested. Mrs. Hamilton learned of the tip being given and again appealed to the Mayor who claimed that he wa® "helpless” as the marshal wa« re­ sponsible after tbe papers were turned over to him. Mrs. Hamilton then forced Marshal MoLean to action and the offender was brought into court. Some other move must now be de­ vised by the mayor to keep from hearing the case anti the fellow was advised to plead not guilty. This was done and the mayor advised Mrs. Hamilton that she would have to put up a sum of money to secure the costs. Such a move baffled Mrs, Hamilton for a time but Bhe held her ground and forced the mayor deeper into tbe case on a threat that unless he took action she would .1 start, proceedings against, him. The demand for costs was relin­ quished and the prosecuting witness was next asked to produce her list of witnesses. This was done but the mayor banded down1"a decision of his own that they were not old enough. No one is old enough to testify before His Honor unless he i* a candidate for the Osier degree. The. mayor succeeded In getting; the offender his liberty by wearing out Mrs. Hamilton’s1patience who withdrew the papers filed and quit in disgust, juBfc what the "business administration" mayor wanted.

Bradfuto of this place was ono o f tho candidates before the Democratic convention m Day- ton till* week for State Dairy and Food Commissioner. While be was not successful in gecurmg the nomination ho received a very complimentary vote and Secured an introduction to many of tho pol- iticans that v/iil bo valuable to him at 01110 future time. Mr. Bradfuto would have made an excellent man for such a position itbeiug tho cus­ tom of both political parties to nominate a man that is welt ad­ vanced not only in the dairy and food business but iu general farm­ ing and stock breeding. In political conventions men are not always nominated on their merits, tlm plum usually falling to tho one who had tho longest poll.
