MM MILLER EMIT BURKED An Accident in the Power House at the Cement Fac-* tory Friday, NOTHING OF SERIOUS ME D.iyton Miller, > a brother o-ft’ost-■•anaster dtfilTer, was quite badly burned Friday morning at the cement factory. He is employed in the engine room of that company and in shifting the current from one engine to the other about tsix o’clock in the mormn'g, a fjash caught him on the left hand and arm and scorched the flesh, causing considerable pa.in. His face was also slightly burned.. Dr. Hoy is the attending physic an, and says no s rious results are contemplated. That Tariff Again. There-is a lot of talk about putting word pulp on the free list, so that print paper might be cheaper, A reduction in; the price of paper would be a welcome relief to publishers and printers, and surely the sacred tariff would not bs profaned by thifc small concession. j3ut would any good result from taking off the duty oh pulp? All the wood pulp we insert comes from Canada and Canada is not asleep while all this discussion is going on. If the L nit•fe'd States should give up the revenue which the duty produces, and which the printing industry "has thus far managed to pay, why should not the Dominion get this money? Thug <sur Northern cousins reason, and sp, when our congress takes off theimport duty, the Parliament at Ottawa will be strongly tempted to put on an export duty of the same aige jb its place. If Canada ,will promise to be good, and retrain from this opiportiptiity to get soma easy revenue, putting wood pulp on the free willqbe a tine thing for a printing industry. But suppose Canaja won’t promise? J 4 | /Big Warsaw Wedding. The date of the wdding of Hertha Irene Ctapman, daughter of the liev .1 Wilbur aiid the Bev.

■ MWWft’aay- rTERRIBLE FL WAYNE FIRE /The Aveline Hotel, Largest iii the City, ' Destroyed by Fire Early Sunday Forenoon. < 1 FIFTEEN PERSONS ARE CREMATED

The sadfiest and mpstjawful event that ever happened in the history of Fort Wayne was the burning, at half past three o’clock last Sunday morning, of the Ayeline figtel in that oity, in which nearly a score of persons lost their lives, ont? of them being Mr. Prank Baxter,'jbf Auburn, a son of Attorney John W. Baxter,, well known here, and a-Cousin of B. F, lloopingarner, of this place, The tire was caused by the blowing out of an electric fuse at tljie bottom of the elevator shaft. The blaze from it set. fire to some oil arid communicating promptly to thetgreasy shaft within ten minutes bad invaded all thd rooms in the buildipg. j There were nearly a hundred guests in the hotel, and their experiences can be belter immagined than described. Many of them were saved by the fire escapes, some reached safety along a ledge I£| inches wide between the fifth and sixth stories along which they crawled to .the Peoples Store adjoining, some were taken down ladders by firemen, a . • S few jumped to the sidewalks and were killed or maimec, and others were burndd in their rooms. The horror of it all simply ■ beggars description, Tne Aveline was a landmark of the city of Forj. Waype. Its construction was begun ini 1852 though the two upper stories were built some years later, The; building had been several times condemned as a fire it seemed impossible to get it torn down. T c, ° ate d at the corner of Calhoun and Berry streets il; occupied one of the most important corner's in the city Many people over this part of tEeT state will be saddened to know that Miss Sarah. Hathaway, superintendent of the Children’s Aid* Society of Indiana and the orphans’ Miomes at Mishawaka and South Bendkand her

Miss Ajary Buykeft, were among the victims, Theii’ bodies were taken from the ruins Sunday, jilmost beyond recognition. These devoted women had for years given their lives for the benefit of unfortunate children, and were widely known and universdly beloved. Elkhart County will bold a county fair at Goshen September 14-18. The board of commissioners rt com mend -that an appropriation of SSOO be made to assist in buying prizes to be awarded, The law provides for such an appropriation and it will probably be made. Such fairs are a great benefit to the county as it promotes a spirit of pride in the products of the farm. Kosciusko ought to fall in line and hold Elkhart county even, at least. The Weather in April. According to the weather bureau the average temperature for the month of April,-]ust closed, was 52 degrees, which is four-tenths of a degree colder than the average temperature for April; 1907 was 43 degrees or 9 degrees lower than this year. The rainfall, 3.88 inches, was ,48 above the average, the past thirty-eight Aprils being recorded at 3.38 inches, NOTICE I will make Sorghum Molasses the season of 1908, at my residence, 2 miles east of Monoquet, AH syrup made bn a Champion Evaporator Pan.

The Inevitable. } .■ 4 - The spring exodus from the North-: west to Canada is already in fdll career. In the last eight years about three hundred thousand people have' moved across the line to make homes in Canada, Very few of them have returned. They did not go to Canada because they were failures in this, country, but because they looked, (or larger success in pioneer condi. tiops ftf the Canadian Northwest. Many of them have sold their farms, inherited from their pioneer forefathers, at high prices, and they have taken their nioney and their practical skill into a country where they can get twenty aores for the price of one acre in lowa and Illinois. Os oduise we do not need to be ; troubled about the loss of population. We have immigrants coming to . opy shore at the rate of a million a year. actual loss is a much more serious matter. * ,These farmers who have gone and are going to Canada are our very best cit’zens made so by years apd even generations of American life. Those who come in at our Eastern gate are alien in every sense. They impose a tremendous burden of responsibility upon the whole country. It is 3 burden which we uannqt escape, but the contrast 'between those who are leaving us and® those who are coming to us is none the less disturbing. A Milford Inventor. C. L. Ruse, a Milford eontraitor, employed on she Warsave-Peru extension of the Winona line, has invented a concrete and railroad iron tie, which will be tested on this part part of the Winona line.

OONIIISE " ' . BINOLfI TWINE It Depreciates the Value of Your When You Try to Sell It. ■. 'I'C — X BUYERS LIABLE TO REFUSE IT. ■ , : .. ; While there has been much said in newspapers in regard to the binding of wool wjth binder twine, it seems that sheep raisers disregard the caution handed out by buyers. It not only depreciates the value of your wool, but men who haVe to dispose of it lio wholesalers run the risk pf not being able to getUrid of their suppl* at all. Such a condition will naturally bring losses to the sheep raiser, aqxl should receive his attention. / Wool twine is not injurious to the wool, while the binder twine .is sure to leave a large amount of fibre in the wool which is almost impossible to rt move. » We publish this notice through the solicitation t>f a wool dealer aid Syracuse, and we believe he wants to give everybody in the business a chance to get the best price for their material. 'I Bourbon has organized a base ball teaih for the season. Charles Compton is captain- and Henry Blinkley manager, i Where is Syracuse?

PUBLIC SALE DAY FOB SYRACUSE I . _—L_ ■ I Could be Conducted With Much Profit to Merchants and ■ ? Farmers. SUCCESS AT OTHER PLACES . " - 5 * Our attention has been called to the subject ot a Public Sale Day for Syracuse. In view of the fact that small points like New Paris, Cromwell, North Webster and other places are conducting such.a sale with success, it appeals to us as a very good plan.*- It would be the mtans of tbe farmers coming to this place at a stated time with whatever articles they may wish to dispose of—stock, hay, grain, etc. These articles rould be listed oti a large poster and thoroughly distributed. Each sale would be conducted the same as any sale of an individual, with a better chance of having buyers for the articles for sale, and also saving an .expense to each one for separate advertising. Nearly every farmer has something he could dispose of nrofit thereby. Such artic'es will bring better prices where there are many buyers than at a small sale. ls“ there are men of the community who are favor of such a sale ami have goons to dispose of, they need only to list such articles with The Journal, Lincoln Cory or W. G. Connolly, and the success of the same is practically assured. If there is anything with a sale of this kind which in accord with your views, oome in and talk it over with us. It can do no harm to try the‘ plan, and it is more than probable that all will be benefited, [You will find The Journal on the southeast corner of the lie square—Main and Huntington streets, io be specific, and you will learn that we ARE on the square.] Oakwood Park.
