The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, July 22, 1909

The Leader confesses that it is a prevaricator and that the truth on this
occasion was not in it. On last Thursday it stated that Chariton was a dry
town and that there was perhaps not a drop of anything in the city stronger
than cistern water filtered through charcoal. Hardly had the last paper
fallen from the press until Constable JAMES WYLAND and CLINT MILLTHORPE
raided the DAUGHERTY Drug Store, on the west side and discovered an oasis.
They captured and took into custody three barrels of malted liquid food, hop
tonic or something of the kind, branded 5 per cent "oh, be joyful," a
quarter of a barrel of beer "off ice," three gallons of alcohol, some whisky
some in and some out of flasks, and a gallon or more of raspberry syrup,
the thoughts of which almost makes a temperance apostle's mouth water at the
thoughts of how good raspberries and cream are with the seeds crushed out.
The evil spirits and the good spirits and the doubtful spirits, which is the
hop tonic, were taken to a place of safety and will ferment until the 30th
inst. when DR. DAUGHERTY will appear before the proper tribunal and show, if
he can, by what right he communed with these liquid gods and whether or not
he juggled with them or enchanted "innocent purchasers."
