Consider II No Joke.

Joe Miller. of the Ohio Liquor
League, may have considered the
Beal local option law a joke at the
time it was enacted, but John Koer-
Der, president of the league, does not
so consider il now. President Koer-
Der attended the banquet Tuesday
evening given by the Liquor Dealers
Protective Association of Lucas
county, and in the course Of his
speech he denounced the Beal law as
piece of vicious legislation and de
clared that it is thinning the ranks
and weakening the organization of
which he is the head. In fact, Pres
ident Koerber was so badly scared
that he said the Auti-Saloon League
would ruin the saloon business in
Ohio unless the saloonkeepers put up
a solid front and went into the fight
in earnest.
This is humiliating admission and
one which will give the friends OF
Temperance renewed courage in their
fight against the saloons. A long
list of towns has voted out the saloon:
since the Beal law was enacted and
the sale of liquor in these towns IL
outlawed. In many other municipal
tiles petitions are being circulated
and every few days adds to the lis
of dry" towns.
The old gag that driving out saloon
hurts business does not work and ha
proved false so often that it no long
, er carries any weight. The peopl
are finding out that saloons are not
!. necessity but a positive harm an
that town is better off in every re
spect without them.-Toledo Blade

Living people are made to vanish in
to air, apparently. and reappear like
spectres. One person or persons
transformed into others on a fully
lighted stage. Beautiful allegorical
and classical groups of living persons
dissolving from view instantaneously,
other groups of different persons ap.
prearing in their places. The real
and mythical persons on the stage
at the same time, the one undetecta.
BILE from the other. The most beau
tiful tableaux, artistic illusions and
surprising effects produced. Living
people seemingly pass through one
another. Positively an unique and
entirely new entertainment. Moth
ing or the kind ever exhibited except
by the inventor, J. w. Sherman. 1t
is conceded to be the society event
of the season wherever produced. 1t
is mystifying and beautiful, and ele-

ply marvellous. 1t would be well to
secure your seats early, as this will
certainly be production that is as
represented. perfect in every detail.

sound accompanying the reproduc
