The temperance people of Oberlin, Ohio, are waging determined war against Bronson, a druggist of the town, whom they charge with converting his store into a regular saloon. In order to procure evidence against him they have been detailing ladies, divinity students and others to keep guard in his place and take down the names of customers. Bronson, having remonstrated in vain, has within the last few days taken to ejecting the male representatives of temperance and smoking out the ladies, but as fast as put out they have re turned, and owing to their pertinacity * the druggist has appealed to the sheriff for protection. Bronson on his side represents that he is the victim of unjust persecution, and that the extreme temperance leaders are attempting to prevent his selling liquors even on the prescriptions of physicians. The previous proprietor of Bronson’s drug store had been forced, in common with others in the place, byiConstant crusading, into an arrangement not to Bell a drop of spirits of any kind for any purpose whatever, either with or without a physician’s prescription.
