McDonald's Speakeasies From the Pittsburg Dispatch The Law and Order Society having made Pittsburg a second celestial city has determined to reform the wild oil driller and to do so will first make an attempt to suppress the numerous speakeasies in McDonald and surrounding towns. The move will be made with as much danger as a charge on Richmond, but Agent MCCLURE and his brave band have no fear when obeying the mandates of the society they represent. They have received orders to proceed against the illegal liquor dealers of Western Pennsylvania, and have had detectives in McDonald for several days securing evidence. It isn't hard to get. Any person who has been within ten miles of McDonald knows that it isn't strictly a prohibition place. There are no licensed saloons nearer than Walkers' Mills, but thirst oil drillers have no love for law when they want liquor. Their demands have resulted in the establishment of the largest and best assortment of speak-easies to be found in the State, all of which are said to do a rushing business. The oil country speak-easy is a thing of wonderful curiosity. Some are on the ground floor of big buildings and others find a habitation in a dark corner of a dreary cellar. They are all built as solid as a military fort and frequently have to stand a fierce cannoding of beer bottles or anything else in sight that is handy to throw around. One of McDonald's ingenious saloon keepers has arranged a sliding screen which he pulls down over the bar to protect himself and his wares when a fight is started in front. It is hung on weights, and only a moment is required to get it in position when things commence to look dangerous. It is far more convenient than a door to escape through, and besides it saves the furniture. Little effort is made to hide the fact that liquor is sold, and hitherto no determined objection has been made. The Law and Order Society is chartered to do business any place in Pennsylvania, ans as the season is dull in Pittsburg, they have determined to branch. Besides, they will get half the fines collected in liquor cases, while for arrests of ordinary cigar dealers and such people all the fines go to the state. It is the raiding of seven speak-easies in Pittsburg that gave Captain WISHART his first start toward fame, and since the harvest here has played out it is supposed the Law and Order people have concluded to give Agent MCCLURE a similar chance in another geld. It is a big undertaking, however, and the carrying it out is likely to get black eyes and broken noses for the detectives who do the work. Oil drillers are about as easy to handle as nitro-glycerine and just as likely to explode when agitated. They may submit to arrest and they many not; it depends on what humor they are in. If they determine to resist, all of the State militia, including the gallant Eighteenth, would have a lively time enforcing the law. There are about 5,000 of a floating population in McDonald and at least 30 speak-easies. The Law and Order Society expect to go after them this week. They will also do some great work among the drinking clubs at Oakdale. The clubs are kept up by oil men, who secure a key and membership for a small amount.
