PRICE, 91.00 A YEAR Raiders Make Sudden V isit Prosecutor Johnson's Forces Raided Five Places Wedne$day Noon— Mayor Andrew Will • Get to Hear at Least One Case. Shortly after sloven o'clock Wednesday, anti saloon raiders, visited the town and for an hour or more there was an unusual amount of excitement about the vill ge. The plans had been secretly made and the party of nine .men drove here from Xenia arriving at different hours but assembled for business about eleven. Four Cleveland detectives: Frederick,, Williams, Parker and Ernst acted under the direction of Prosecu­ tor Johnson. G. W* Orabb, of Dayton, attorney for the Anti- Saloon League; D, G. Younkin and Ernest McClellan oi ie n ia apd W.B.Qraham. The latter was in townwhsnthe others arrived. The section on “Saw-dust)’ avenue, at the rear of the depot, where a number of colored families reside, was flrBt visited. There were only three homes entered, thoBe of Minnie Hamilton, . Bailie Baker, and Florence Alexandor. I t is said th a t only one bottle of beer was found and th a t was at the latter place and be­ longed to Itoberfc-(Pig Foot) Batts, a boarder, who was just ready • to partake of his noon-day. meal. The detectives took the bottle 'along.-,. ' ■ The party divided after finishing this work and one delegation went to the drugstore of Isaac Wisterman and the other to C. M. Ridgway’s. A t the former place the proprietor escorted the offi­ cers to the basement and showed them his stock on hand. There were partly filled barrels of whiskey and gin and half a barrel of ; alcohol.^ None of the goods were removed but t / notatlop was taken of what was on hand. A t Bidgway’s there was a barrel of beer,' fifteen gallons of whiskey anu a barrel of empty whiskey bottles. As in the above . case there was no attempt to hide any th in g .or binder with the search. A number of filled and partly filled bottles were taken • from the drugstore by the officers but no attempt was made to re­ move the bulk goods. Prosecutor Jolinson stated th a t they had no way ot taking the goods with them and permitted the owners . to hold them. A report to the effect th a t each druggist signed a . statement as to what he had on hand is denied by (the prosecutor, who states that Mr. Bidgway was the only one asked to Blgn a statement. ' Prosecutor Johnson stated to the Herald Thursday th a t be had not determined just what charges would be placed pr where . ■they would b* tried. As there is considerable feeling here th a t .''thVfcaxJkty&rt oTfeh# co#pdr«Wk>K,»1rcm'Id' off-any fines assessed and- not allow all th e money to .go toYellowSpriugs, ■ the Herald placed the matter before the prosecutor and we have been assured tha t a t least one case will he filed before Mayor An­ drew. Prosecutor Johnson refused to state just Which one it would be, .There haB been much said in behalf of Mayor Andrew’s administration as well as much criticism and there is no reason Why the mayor should not be given a chance to hear one or more of the cases. ■ Biederwolf Didn’t Draw Crowd.

Wiatarman's Pharmacy Editing a newspaper in some re­ spects is.a good deal like preaching The gospel t^uth muBt. be presented iri the form of generalities or some fellow will get b it and howl, says a recent writer. F6w persons like truth, even In homeopathic doses, if it hits them. Hilt while preachers and editors are criticised for what they do say, no one thinks of giving them crodit for what they do not say. Yet what they keep to them­ selves constitutes the major portion of what they know about people. Very many people narbor the be­ lief that newspapers are eager to publish derogatory things. It'S a mlBta e, says the Maffett (Colo.) Hewk. There Isn't a newspaper that does not keep undor the lock of secrecy scores of derogatory things which never meet the public eye or teach tho public ear. Deciding what not to print 1 b the most trou­ blesome part** of newspaper work. How many good stories are ear- pressed for- innocent relatives and for thepubilc good nobody outside a newspaper office has any idea of. In some instances he who files into a passion because a newspaper prints something about him which he considers uncomplimentary has every reason to fool profoundly grateful to the newspapor for pub* lishing so littie of what it knows of him. Atid oft times the loudest bluffer is the most hulnerableto at­ tack. A big noiso Is often a device employed to cover • trepidation, Newspapers put up with more bluffing than any other agency would endure. I t is not because they lack courage; it is because they^are unwilling to use their pow- to destroy or ruin unless the, inter­ ests of society imperatively demand it. Itm ight.be well for some peo­ ple to reflect upon those truths and in silent gratitude accept mild ad­ monition lest worst befall them,— Western Publisher, - . r , ' _ . .......... announcements .

I t was held that the popu. larity of the noted minister would be a great drawing card and the treasury Would be overflowing the day he was to speak. Jamestown was first in securing the date and Yellow Springs made an effort.but wijs denied the privi­ lege of getting tlie Dr. owing to tile opposition ot the former- town, which wanted exclusive right for the; county. The * Jamestown management made .extraordinary preparations for the day aud an excursion tram was engaged to take the Xsnians to the Silvercreek townfehip capital It was necessary to guarantee the railroad-company $100 for the train Biederwolf day came after a great amount of advertising but the Xen ians refused to be moved and only a few took advantage of hearing the noted pulpit orator and the ^Tames- towners lost their $100 guarantee. I t will be some time before James town reciprocates a Xenia favor. Meantime the Yellow Springs peo pie are chuckling- to themselves how they saved a hundred or more from their expense account by al­ lowing Jamestown have their way. During the D r’s, stay in Xenia he dwelt at various times oh th e -Sun­ day excursion and probably the affectivenees ot his sermons proved a detriment to the Jamestown man­ agement." , N CLAS MATEOF Reunion Of McCampbelFs.
