NEWSOF KOSCIUSKO & ELKHART COUNTIES The Warsaw and Columbia City school football teams are arranging for a game at the county seat soon. The people of Oswego have contributed money for the purpose of purchasing a bell for their new school building. Warsaw merchants have possession of several worthless checks, and some one is soon to have trouble for. issuing them. C. I’. Bliss of Elkhart, was struck by a Lake Shore switch engine and hurled a distance of 20 feet by escaping without serious injury. Interurban oars between Warsaw and Goshen have been delayed quite a bit of late on account of the bridge pst north of Milford sinking and twisting the rails cut of shape. Jacob Ambos, aged 50 years who lives near Waterford, was kicked by <a horse last Thursday, several ribs being fractured and internal injuries sustained which may cause his death. Within less than $ year the Butler family near Benton, Ind-, has lost j three of its members by death. The first to be called was Mrs. William ( Butler, second the husband and last , week a daughter, Mrs. Chas, Juday , of Goshen, 35 years of age, leaving ; two children, one two years old and the other ten months. The cause of her death was Bright’s disease. Prosecuting Attorney Anglin and County Attorney Wood have filed 1 suit in the circuit court against Eff Sharp • and Ex-sheriff Mabie, demanding the return of fees collected which did not belong to them. 1 The fees were taken for work on books which the complaint says was paid for by Sharp’s salary, It is . probably that other suits will be started if some illegal fees are net returned to the county. 1

• James E. Watson Speech. Everybody likes a big man, one who shows his bigness of mind in his speech and appearance. Such a man is James E. Watson, republican candidate for governor, who addressed a good size crowd on the public square at Syracuse last Thursday noon. The people began to assemble about 11 o’clock. The Syracuse band played four pieces and •*lhe autos carrying Mr. Watson, Senator Hendee, Perry Smith, the “Old Shady” quartet and others arrived from Milford at just about 12. The quartet sang two rousing campaign songs, and Mr. Watson was introduced by Senator Hendee. In the twenty minutes taken by the speaker, the issue ot the campaign were set forth very clearly without any Those who heard the speech may easily know the position he is taking on all vital questions. Mr. Watson very emphatically stated that if the republicans were victorious in making him goy ernor that should any bill be passed to repeal the new county local option law, be would surely veto it. But that with a republican legislature no such measure would likely come to him. Os course after the speech and the departure of the party for Warsaw, there were a few heated arguments < on the corner, with the usual re- ] suits—no change of opinion. After Elkhart Paper. Union men of Elkhart, led by ci- ' garmakers, are after the Elkhart Re- ’ view for misrepresenting facts con- * oerning the recent Gompers meeting at that place. The Review said the < meeting was ai failure, whereas the < chairman of the labor committee < over signed statement declares it a ; success, and brands the Review as unfair.

FORCED TO DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY

The Advance Radiator Co. received word from the president, Mir. Holland at Sauk Centre, Minn, in farming the officials here that final papers bad been signed and arrangements made for the erection of a new plant at that place. All the equipment for subsidiary plants is through the parent plant at this place and yields a good profit to stockholders here, and is a long step in placing the

Syracuse plant in the front rank of radiator factories. The plant just contracted for at Sauk Centre is the third subsidiary company to be formed within the last few months, while theee are several other promising points under consideration. Each subsidiary plant formed adds materially to the profits of the Syracuse plant. For some time the company has been greatly in need

Unknown Disease Takes Horses. i ■ It is reported that farmers in Pulaeka and Starke counties and those in the southwestern part of LaPorte county have lost 1,500 horses since early last summer from a disease of unknown origin. The horses as a rule, when attacked with the malady, droop as if consumptive, and finally die. In a few instances they recover but if they do, are mere wrecks and have to be killed. One man killed four that survived the attack of the disease. A Whistling Well. Stephen Slaymaker of Monroe township had a “whistling well” a few days ago. Workmen drilling for water on his place struck a vein of air in a sheet of gravel about six feet thick and seventy feet below the surface, The air was exceedingly cold which is evidence that this is not a hot air story. The air came up with all the force of natural gas and produced a whistling sound which could be heard for a considerable distance. The pressure forced up the valve so that it would not hold water. Detective is Thief. An Evansville firm of wholesale grocers suspected that some of their employes were stealing. They sent to Chicago for a detective and placed him in the store to spy upon the men. In the course of two or three weeks the detective reported three old employes for pilfering and they were promptly discharged; although protesting against the injustice of it. Stealing was again resumed, and then a watch was placed upon the detective. The room he occupied at a hoarding house was searched and all the stolen stock was located there. Now the owners are kicking themselves and their former employes are preparing suit for defamation of character and damages.

of additional room and facilities, and has been forced to work the men to their limit in order to keep nsar their orders. Even with all tbe'overtime the company is far behind in work, and it was absolutely necessary that something be done. A meeting of the stockholders was called for Saturday, Oct. 24, and was very well attended, showing the interest which the stockholders have in the Company. The

I . ' meeting was called to vote on the prooosition to increase the capital ; stock to SIOO,OOO. The fact that the proposition was carried by a practically unanimous vote is the best possible proof of the confidence of the present stockholders in the future of the company. The proceeds from the sale of the new issue of will be used principally to Enlarge the plant and take up out|ta..«inp to the ... . ' —— ... ■

Not e Bad Set. The Western' Union Telegraph company is sending out instructions to agents throughout the country to accept free of charge all messages filed by public officials or duly constituted committees for the relief of Michigan fire sufferers. This would indicate that not all men are rogues, who have an opportunity of this kind to show they have sympathy for their brothers in distress. ' Typhoid in Garrett. The city of Garrett is becoming alarmed over the present number of cases of typhoid fever. It was hoped that~the present cold weather would put some check to the disease, but it has not yet shown suoh signs. Several deaths have already occurred. The physicians have made the statement that the fever undoubted ly comes from the water drahk from the wells of the city, as the city water has been given a thorough test and found to be free from disease germs. The Waterways Congress. The lakes to gulf waterway con-, vention at Chicago has brought together one of the greatest assemblages of the country. Aside from the presence of the two big presidential nominees, there were senators from every state in the union. It is estimated that over 35,000 guests visited the city during the session. This is the third congress held and the work of getting at this great project of an inland waterway from the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, has been pushed. President Kavanaugh of the Association is given great credit for the work so far accomplished and is getting at the proposition in the proper manner. When answering advertisements, please mention the Journal

amount of SIO,OOO, although it is proposed to keep the majority of the stock for future use, as it miy be required from time to time. With the completion of the add : - tions to the plant a force of perhaps 100 men or more will be employed. This means there will be a material increase in our population and we will pass the 2,000 mark easily. The company is now offering $30,000 worth of this new issue of

stock to the public at par, SSO per share, and have prepared a very concise and interesting prospectus, which explains very clearly the conditions of the company at present, and vou should avail yourself of , this information, for we believe the ■ I opportunity is a splendid one for the investment of idle funds with good prospects for handsome returns.

An Aged Night Policeman. 1 Barney Kpltman, who for the ! past sixteen years has been acting ’ as the night policeman for the busi--1 ne?s district of KJhdallville, re- • ceived a ra ; se of sal™ at the oouncil meeting last week. Mr. Koltman is nearly eighty years of age andposs.bly the oldest serving police cfficer in the state. He gets sls month now from the city, besides collections from the merchants. Auto Struck By Car. An automobile in which Mr. and Mrs. Peter T. Longacher of Elkhart were riding was hit by a C. S. B. & N. I. oar Friday in Elkhart. Mr, Longacher drove the oar cut of an alley and onto the track before be saw the approaching oar. He then jumped and fell on bis head. His lip was badly cut. Mrs. Longacher escaped with a few’ bruises. Both rear wheels of the automobile were wreosed and the rear part of the machine crushed. Mr. Long 1 aoher recently built a concrete block ■ house at Oakwocd Park, for summ ir use. Sullivan’s Sensible Talk. John L. Sullivan, ex champion of the prize ring, says some very senst- ■ ble things occasionally. He always puts in a good word for temperance. • His latest utterance,is as follows: “1 have learned in life at the age of 50 years, that the will reigns as 1 well as at the age of 30, and that life i is real and life is earnest, and the i grave is not its goal, and the vanity ; of human life is like a river, constantly coming on. I have come to ‘ realize that to live a life well, no matter how long or how short, is a ■ passport to the Great Beyond. Re- ■ member, in all cases to let liquor i alone.” Bank on getting something nice at the M. E. church fair to be held , on Nov. 27 and 28. Watch for later announcements.

•Indiana in Lead. At a meeting ofjthe special agents and the commission appointed for the National Corn Exposition to be held at Omaha ijeoember, 1908; a movement was sftarted to secure funds to purchase a trophy to be awarded annually for the 'best ten ears of corn exhibited at the National Corn Exposition. -The value cf this trophy is to be, as decided upon, SIOOO. k i Through the winnings of Indiana corn growers at file National Corn Exposition held at Chicago last October, and these made at other national shows, Indiana has placed herself in front rank!of the corn stat s. The offering of tn's trophy at this time gives, the s ate another opportunity to maintain the lead in all movements for the bittor cirri. AJ r ready the best artists and designers of the c un‘ry have been put to work on this coni tr. p y and it is ! hoped to Secure one which will; eclipse all tropluts ot ihe kind ever! ottered. It is iatedeud that this trophy will bru d much a ivertisirg and glory, not oily to the slate but to the corn growers. The interest aijuong Indiana corn growers for the National Corn Exposition is running high at this tune and it is felt by these interested, that a mammoth exhibit will be made by this stajte at the exposition in December. Roosevelij in England. The London Times is making a lot of talk oyer the apparent “scoop” on the American papers. At dinou Sunday, October 11, the President told Lord Northoliff?, a part owner of the Times, that he intended to go to Oxford and receive a degree, .nd at :hn same time be ■ would make an address. This trip will precede the Afncabuuting trip. We believe all this information was dealt out eaily this summer. It is evident tire Britishers have just discovered the joke. j

KOSWO GOONiy . NJ'S VIEWS A xosciusko ; county man, who puts imself i n record as being io favor of a law which will permit the buyio ' and selling of fish, adds these suggestions: “If we were.to dictate the law governing the lakes of Kosoiuako eouyt -, w» would say: Use the net ir.

Une remarkable incident of the great dry sped occurred at Grand Vie .v, tSp-ncer county. The editor of ;he Moaikj at that place had ocpas' on. to cross; the river, but instead of going to a bridge he mounted his “bike” alj.d rode across. The wa er was so jow that he only dism ..lied to vjide once or twice and in <o place wi|s the water more than a few inches deep. The river is usual y navigable at tbis o point for ordinary rive: steamer?. It is tho lowest the .nVer has been for many © ■' year?.
