TWO KILLED IN PENNSYLtANLA WRECK Al 7 o’clock Monday morning the second section of the Pennsylvania train east bound No. 6, running as an extra equipment train without passengers with five Pullman sleepers and nine baggage cars being pulled by two engines and running at a speed of sixty-five miles per hour struck and instantly killed Arch E. Anderson, 21 years old, and Reed Haas, 9 years old, as they were crossing the track at the crossing just east of the Columbia City depot. They were coming from the south in a covered mail wagbn and were driving a single horse. The pilot of the engine cut the horse in two and literally tore it to pieces, the remains of thb carcass alighting seventy-five feet away. The light rural mail wagon with canvas top was demolished, hardly a spoke in a wheel remaining intact. The body of the Haas boy was thrown 225 feet east of the spot where the train struck the rig and plowed through a woven wire fence. The body of young Anderson was thrown 200 feet east of the crossing—Claypool Journal. KINGSLAND WRECK GIVES CORONER BIG FEE While no person in Bluffton regrets the death of his neighbors and friends in the Kingsland wreck more than Coroner Herman Thoma of Bluffton that official will receive more emolument from the inquests he conducted to learn the cause of the crash, than has been paid to an incumbent of his office in a full term of four years in Wells county, according to an interpretation of the law as given by a reporter. The state law provides that all counties, with the exception of Marion, Allen, Vigo and Vanderburg shall pay their coroners $5 for the first day of an inquest over a dead body and $2.50 for each additional day during the investigation. Os the thirty-nine wreck victims, thirty five died on the scene and four after being brought to the city. Coroner Thoma’s inquest, therefore was over the thirty-nine who died in Wells county. On the first day of the investigation the official’s pay was $175 and for the five subsequent days was $87.50 each, making a total of s6l2.so.—Kendallville News Have you seen the new Baldwin Pianos at Beckman’s store?

Library Notes. Men of Syracuse desiring to read articles and books of strength and timely interest will find in the Public Library plenty of material. These are days when there is taking place a revolution in the moral, practical and even religious ideas of men. The Outlook Magazine, wiih Lyman Abbott as editor, and Theodore Roosevelt as contributing editor, is one of the great forces in bringing about a change in the feligious and practical ideas of mankind. Lyman Abbott is one of the great preachers of the country. His articles on religious subjects are worth any man’s attention. Theodore Roosevelt is plounding hard on his TNew Nationalism.” The American Magazine stands the equal of the Outlook. There is running inow a series of articles oh the Tariff by Ida M. Tarbell. Anyone who has read Miss Tarbell’s articles knows her power in laying out clearly and forcefully the subject in hand. The articles by Ray Stunnard Baker on practical and social subjects are intensely interesting. The articles by David Graynion are good beyond description. Below are the the titles of some books that should appeal to men who desire something besides fiction. “How thfe Other Half Lives” ___Jacob Riis “Progress and Poverty”. Henry George “Democracy and Social Ethics Jane Addams “The Making of an American”._ Jacob Riis “The Rights of Man” . “Christianity, and the Social Crisis” _ _ L Ranschenbusch “The Destiny of Man” *- Fiske “Through Nature to God”.. Fiske “The Religion of the Future”.... Chas. W. Eliot Voy Rohrig has accepted a position as traveling salesman for R. L. Abbey & Company, wholesale druggists at Kalamazoo, Michigan. Mr. Rohrig left Monday for a visit this week with relatives and friends in Michigan, and will make his initial trip for the Company next week, starting Monday.

FARMERS URGED THO SOUTH Declaring that the diversion of American emigration into Canada back into the United States, and the establishment of a National Board of Health were among the paramount issues in the platform of Progressive Nationalism, and that the fortification of the Panama Canal was absolutely essential to peaceful occupancy of the new trade route of the world, M. B. Trezevant, of New Orleans, President of the' Southern Commercial Secretaries Association made a profound impression in an 1 address on “The New South,” delivered before the convention of the Central Asssociation of Commercial Executives here today. “In five years time,” said President Trezevant, “the United States has lost 350,000 of her best citizens to Canada—residents, principally of this Central West, carrying with them intelligence, experience and money into a foreign country, the lure of whkh is but ephemeral, while the vast untenanted acres of the United States are open to them. Jf they must leave all, let them go, not to an alien north, where the winters are long and unproductive, and the summer heat nearly as torrid as the equator, but to the South where land is cheap and soil is rich and cultivable twelve months of the year; where the climate is equible and the health is equal to if not better than in any given section of the United States,” , In this latter connection Mr. Trezevant urged the establishment of a National Board of Health. “No sec-: tion than the South has suffered > more and deserved it less, by the totally false impressions of her health, and climate, due to lack of ipform|ition,” he said,” “For that reason She South will ask for a national supervision of health, juSt las, five years ago, it demanded and se- i cured national control of quarantine. And what will help the South \ will help every other section of the Union. That the South is healthy\ and desirable from an investment and settlement standpoint is demon-. strated by the millions of dollars i and thousands of settlers now mak- i ing their way thither. Louisiana is i a striking example. Foreign in-1 vestment capital is not taxed in that State, and today hundreds of thousands of dollars are.being poured into the Commonwealth from Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and other sections, largely for the most profitable of all investments—the reclamation of wet prairies. These deep and hitherto unused soils are now producing corn the crop of the northwest, bearing 40 to 60 bushels to an acre on land that cost from $25 to $75 per acre. Today the nine cotton-growing States of the South are producing more corn than Wisconsin, Michigan Minnesota, South Dakota, Kansas Colorado and Pennsylvania. “Those of the Northwest who are sufficiently interested to know more of this great work of reclamation can find practical information at the forthcoming United States Land and Irrigation Congress, in Chicago, November 19 to December 4.” In speaking of the fortification of the Panama Canal, he said the administration policy should be upheld by every loyal American. “A few weeks ago I saw that great work for the second time, and it would fire the heart and imagina-

tion of any red-bloaded American to observe the vim, the determination, the intensely patriotic enthusiasm of the men on the job—from highest to lowest. It is silly twaddle to say that the United States must build the Canal and then observe no means of preventing it falling into alien or hostile hands. Not only the patriotism, but the cold commercial sense of the Nation demands it, and that it will be done is beyond question.” New Orleans, he said, is prepar- • ing for the greatest demonstration of modern America in celebration of the opening of the Canal. “The World’s Panama Exposition will be held at New Orleans, the logical point,” he said, “the city which not ■ only is nearer in miles, but in trade , and personal affinity with the Cen-1 tral and South Americas. In this ; great enterprise the Central West I plays a most important part. Thirty ; four States drain the waters into ■ the Mississippi River, which flov. s ' by New Orleans into the Gulf of , Mexico. When the nation shall I have realized that water-borne commerce will eventually dominate the routing and charge for freight, the huge West will send her manufactured products down the big, Mississippi and through the Pana- • ma Canal, and so to the vast, un- i touched consuming markets of the I Central and South Americas, and the Far East. At the next session of Congress the location for the Panama Exposition will be decided between New Orleans and San Fran- ! cisco. New Orleans is 500 miles I from the center of population. San ; Francisco is 2500 miles from the I same point. There are 65,000,000 ! people within one day’s travel of s New Orleans. There are onle 6,000 i 000 people within the same distance I from San Franciso. The New' South looks to the big Central West; for support in her fight for what is [ tier’s by right of logic and natural i selection. Our interests are mutual. 1 San Francisco is separated by 2500 miles from the commercial center of the United States, by mountain, plain and desert land, and is 3400 • miles from Panama. New Orleans is 1300 miles from Panama and 1,! > 000 miles from the Great Lakes, i san Francisco is striving for an ad-i Vertising asset of benefit to herself• alone. New Orleans is striving for i an. investment that will pay dividends to the whole Nation. If you ' were going to Panama, would you I travel 2500 miles to San Franciso 1 and 3400 miles to the Isthmus; or I travel 1000 miles to New Orleans ’ and 1300 miles to the Canal zone? I The force of logic is with New Orleans. y’he whole South is united on us, and the Central West we confidently count upon as a friend who has a like interest at stake.” Painfully Burned. While playing with a lighted candle in the yard at the home of her parents, at Warsaw, Eleanor, the seven-year-old <|aughter of Mr. and Mrs. C O. Sulli< a n, was painfully, burned when her dress caught fire Monday shortly before noon. The child’s life was saved by the prompt action of her mother who used a rug to extinguish the flames. The girl’s back was burned from her shoe tops to her head and although ' not deep, the burns are very paini ful. We have secured the agency for Portland Cement, see us { for same. Lepper & Cole.

■ OFIHEPKST MB PRESENT Let us never fear to meet the vicissitudes of life and stand to meet them as did the confederate general Jackson, to meet the federals at Bull Run, when he said, “Here I stand a stone wall.’’ Said Epictetus, the Greek philosopher; “What would Hercules have been if he had said, “How shall a great bear appear to me, or savage men?” And what should you care for that? If a great bear appear you will fight a greater fight; if bad men appear you will relieve the earth of the bad. Suppose, then, that I lose my life in this way? I will die a good man doing a noble act. For since we must certainly die of necessity a iqan must be found doing something. What then do you wish to be doing when found by death? I, for my part, would wish to be found doing something which belongs to a man, beneficient, suitable to the general interest, noble." Not. only this, but we should rejoice at the opportunity to stand opposed to the wrong, to resist it and help subdue it. We should value our own lives less than to yield to oppression by tyrants, than to submit to the enslavement of vice or to be led into wrong doing though by doing the wroilg we may become millionaires and revel in luxury, i And this unyielding firmness in the ' right is virtue, and, according to the ‘Stoic “Virtue is its own reward.” And here we reach the motive to i uprightness. What is it? It is what ' causes the rose to bloom, corn to I ear and the river to flow—not led, i but impelled. And, I will not say ,by nature, but by God. Yes, God is the power behind all that is good, i the author of all that is beneficient.

Again Epictetus says: “Nothing is meaner than love of pleasure and love of gain and pride. Nothing is superior to magnanimity and gentleness and love of mankind and benificence.” Now all know that this saving is true, and have known it for the two thousand years since it was uttered by the Greek philosopher, and for many thousands before his time. Nothing w r as ever more rare than the wisdom of right doing. And why so? Not because of man’s nature, but of his immaturity. When he shall have reached maturity, i. e. have “risen to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,” right doing will become universal: wrong doing out grown. When shall every shock of corn be of equal height and none below and none above another and each alike well eared. It will be when each and all shall have like perfecttion of environment. And so in all things.- But will this perfect scondition of environment ever prevail universally with mankind? Yes, that is manifestly approaching and is now in sight. Then will the whole race of mankind be one family of loving brothers and There is no longer isolation. Time and distance are focused in a point i without dimension or space. My j youngest son set out the other day I togo to the head of the Congo to prospect for gold: “That is nothing” we say. The Belgian Congo region is but a little way off. We will go by rail from Loan go to Lake Tanganyike. That same young boy of mine sailed around the world—a soldier in the Spanish war, under Funston in the Phillipines. Oh, that

was nothing. What would the like 1 service has been a century ago? Men live much longer now than j of old—time measured by ipovement. How long a time did it re-, quire for the news of the battle of; Waterloo to reach Nashville, Tenessee? Months. How long for the news of the capture of Manila? It was heard at Nashville earlier than the hour of its occurrence. In fact, the news far outdistanced the sun. We live now a thousand years in a single day. So the past and the present in that that is good are soon to be one and the promise of prophet and Sibyl fulfilled—a new earth and no more sea and swords beaten into plowshares.—Leonard Brown. o— II IS UNCALLED FOR A woman wants to vote, but should we have another war, is she willing to ride a horse astraddle, bite off the end of cartridges with her teeth, make long marches, lay on the ground, and shoot to kill? The Milford Mail springs the above and we are inclined to believe that the water is bad around ihat town. She is perfectly wiling to do all the above things if necessary but it is not so long as there are so many worthless men to be killed off. She is likewise willing to stay at home and run the farm and care for the children and perhaps suffer several hardships while the husband and son go forth to save the country She is likewise willing to go to the front and care for the sick and dying and then after the war is over she is willing to do on almost noth-. ing or perhaps support a husband who is unable to work and to whom the government pays a pahry sum while the politicians 'squander the money in various ways to numerous to mention. " Yea, and she is willing in this glorious time of peace to suffer unknown privation and perchance to earn the greater share of the living, while her lord and master sits around on store boxes, or wastes his time and money in saloons, pod- 1 rooms or poker dens and then on • election day goes forth to cast his , vote to keep this country from going to rhe dogs.—Wolf Lake Trolley For Sale—At a bargain, an improved 20 acre farm 3 mile of Syra-< cose, splendid soil, plenty of fruit. ; Call quick if you are in the market for a small farm.

BLUHM LICENSE 1 FOB FISH October 12, 1910. >'3 To the Editor:— The wrongful impression that has gone out, that I favor a law requiring’every person who fishes to pay a dollar a year license fee, is doing much harm. a Will you not help me through your Journal, to correct it? : There is nothing I desire so much as the good will of the farmers and others who live about our lakes and streams, without some support from whom it is almost impossible for my department to effectually do its work, and it is their interests the proposed new law will be intended to serve. They are not to be required to pay license fees. But there are many who go out from the cities to the lakes and streams every year and take the fish out of them without paying anything into the fund used to replenish them, and these arc the ones the law will be intended to ap; ly to. Nobody will be required to pay a license who does not fish outside the county in which he lives.. Nor will women nor children—persons under twenty one years old be tax-. ed. Any one who has a hunters* license will not need another to permit him to fish. With the money paid by the annual city visitors we could establish brooderies and employ sufficient men to fill the lakes and streams with bass for them, so that their vacations would be much more enjoyable, and the dollar each one of , them would pay to us would be the j best money spent for his outing. I And the farmers and country people would have the benefit all the year of the improved fishing at no expense to themselves. ■ I have believed that such a law would meet the approval of the country people, one of whom'l am. If it will not, however, and will cause them to antagonize me, I will drop it, for, as I have said, it is the good will and assistance of these people that I want, first of everything. I would like to have them write me in regard to the matter. Yours very truly, Geo. W. Miles Commissioner. For sale —A dwelling on Main street, well worth $1500.00 if taken soon at $1200.00. W. G.
