FUNERAL OFJIOY CRANDALL The funeral of Roy Crandall,' whose body was found near Cedar Point, on Lake Wawasee, last Tbms-! day at about 11 o'clock a. m., was ; held from the Church of God on Saturday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. A. L. Weaver, pastor of the M. E church, officiating. The young man had lost his life. by drowning while crossing the lake to meet two boy companions, on the 3rd day of April, and although diligent search was made for the body at the time of the accident and the lake has been patrolled by launches almost daily since, the body was not found until more than four weeks after the drowning occurred, and then by mere accident, when Mr. and Mrs. Rink of Indianapolis, were out fishing and Mrs. Rink • noticing something under the water | about seventy-five feet from shore 1 remarked that it must be a log, but Mr. Rink knowing that there were! no logs in that part of the lake,! rowed to the place, and thus the' body was discovered. The body ;

was brought to the undertaking 1 rooms of J. W. Rothenberger, where ian inquest was held in the afternoon, the coroner declaring death due to accidental drowning. I In this connection it may be well to state that there was no evidence of his having shot himself, as had been reported, and that the body was found intact, but was in an advanced stage of decomposition on account of the length of time it had been in the water. This is official. A. A. Rasor was at Warsaw Saturday paying taxes. The amount this year was over $14,440, which is much more than it has been in former years. Many of the taxpayers pay direct at Warsaw, which is not included in above amount. FOR SALE—IO acres 2i miles ■ of Syracuse good 4 room house and | barn other out buildings.

■WY ANOJ’BOSPEISUS i Passing through the coutr ron every hand are evidences of thrift, 1 industry and progress. Not here i was this truth brought hour i to I us so emphatically as it was vhile r driving south of town past the ' ome . of Henry Kolberg where all his comi modious, attractive and substt ntial I farm buildings have undergo ve a thorough overhauling. ’Tis lut a few years since he moved t< this farm, erected all the buildings, reconstructed the fences, deve oped j a fine water supply and in < very 1 way made the place into a first :lass farm. j Then it was only a few years orior to that when Henry was ada laborer blest with two willing 1 mds and a right view of a i tan’s duty and responsibility as a ci izen and neighbor. The opportunity which cai ie to him and many another such i s he in this country was seized anc the most made of it. Today the Henry Kolberg dace is not only a credit to theowne'but the community as well, point with pride to it. There is a valuabl lesson'to the youths of the land tore, for no better exemplification o this being a land of opportunity ca i be found anywhere in all the leng h of the land—Would that there were more “Dutch Henrys” Obituary. Lula Fay (White) Inline, daughter of Jno. T. and Catharine V hite, was bom on August 18th, 892. She fell asleep to this life ir the early morning of April 25th, 911, aged 18 years, 8 months and 7 !ays. On October 12th, 1909, she became the happy bride of j acob Kline, clad in the same tires: and standing on the same spot on v hich her body lay in state. To this promising union a ittle son was born who preceded his mama to the heavenly realm just hree weeks to the day. She gave herself to God and mited with the M. E. church on N arch 18, 1911. Her life had always reen emblematic of purity. She leaves to mourn her 'arly departure the husband, father and mother, a devoted brother, Ch rles, five sisters, Mrs. Della Leonai 1 of Kokomo, Mrs. Catharine Faurc ee of Warsaw, Pearl, Mary and Celia at home. She was a beautiful type of mother and wife, always cheerful, i ever complaining, and very thoug itful for the welfare of those arounc her. During her long illness of tub rcular trouble she showed forth the spirit of the one in whom she tr sted and even as she looked for the last time upon her babe, she said: ’God knows best,” and the last word she ever uttered was “mercy.” Not for the dead in Christ we ween, Their sorrows now are o’er; The sea is calm, the tempest pass, d, On that eternal shore. Their place is sealed, their rest is sure, Within that better home; While we weep and linger here, Then follow to the tomb. Notice. ' All those interested in the ci se of the Elkhart Co.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA. THURSDAY. MAY 11, 1911

GERMS ARE CARRIED Bl TBEJHDUSE CAT Poised in every whisker of the household cat, ready to pounce on unsuspecting humans, are millions of microbes with terrifying names. Dr. Charles B. Reed of Chicago, who seeks to exterminate the feline tribe, is the authority for the above statement. In order to secure the evidence against “pussy” Dr. Reed nipped off a whisker frohi an ordinary house cat that he found playing with some children, and from the whisker secured four different cultures of dangerous germs. The germs and some diseases they are said to produce are as follows: A germ of decomposition, causing ptomaine poisoning. A germ producing blood poisoning, and when it strikes the proper membrane, sore throat and intestinal troubles. A sort ot cousin germ to the one named above, but not so dangerous, as it is milder jn action. A germ of the intestines, which also causes a variety of infectious diseases, including kidney disease and puerperal fever. Dr. Reed said that to shave whiskers off a cat would not help any, as a cat’s fur also is full of disease germs. Dr. William McClure, of Wesley Hospital, now is experimenting with a hair from a cat’s body to learn how many different colonies of germs occupy its surface. Since Dr. Reed has started his warfare against felines through the use of a sort of gibbet trap, he has received many letters from cat lovers denouncing him and his enmity to the cat tribe. The letters are all. from women cat fanciers. Dr. Reed said most women who object to his fight against cats wear aigrettes taken from a living female bird, causing her death and leaving her young to starve. There is a movement on foot in Chicago to license cats, the same as dogs are, and to kill all which do not wear license tags. THE NEW VAWTER PARK HOTEL The next ten days will witness the completion of the new Vawter Park Hotel, on Lake Wawasee, at Vawter Park.' In every respect it is superior to the one destroyed by fire a year ago. - The main building is about 20 feet longer and 10 feet wider, which provides for all the guest rooms greater space andJight. The dining room will seat one hundred at a time and is located in the front of the building overlooking the lake from two sides, making it the most pleasant dining hall on the lake. The kitchen and pastry room are also made larger and furnished with greater conveniences than formerly, while generous provision has been made for comfortable and roomy apartments Tor all the help to be employed. < In re furnishing the hotel Dr. and Mrs. McGarvey have paid particular attention to providing the most comfortable sleeping accommodations. Comfort has not been sacrificed for appearances. The best and latest in springs and mattrasses have been bought and placed in the rooms which with the other appointments, will certainly give satisfaction to all who may be found among the patrons. What with the beautiful grounds, broad, comprehensive view of the lake, and the congenial people, who own and occupy during the season the cottages at Vawter Park, that particular region of the lake will surely be blessed with a greatly increased clientage in the season of 1911

Keltner and a group of friends from Anderson, Ind. made a hurried trip to Wawasee the forepart of the week and caught so many fine black bass, really caught them, that they were really ashamed to tell the truth about the big catch—that is Keltner was too excrutiatingly modest t o tell the whole truth about it, saying we bagged just sixteen of them, whereas they hooked—several more. Kindness. There was once a gruff old man. He had no kind words for any one. One day a little newsie tried to sell him a one cent paper and the old man boxed his ear—he was a rich old man and could box any one’s ear if he felt like it. The t pld man soon forgot all about it, but not so with the little newsie. “Some day I will box his ears,” said the little newsie. And lo and behold, as the years passed the little newsie became a great lawyer and finally was made a federal And when the old man, who had gotten mixed up in some high deals, asked the little newsie for the little newsie looked him squarely in the eye and then said something about ten years in Leavenworth. Os course the sentence was based on the evidence in the case, but I wonder if the penny paper didn’t have something to do with it—even judges are human you know. At any rate it pays to be kind to the little fellow in knee breeches.—Ex.

;!rebardingour_privyvadlts ’ The following letter was received by one of our townsmen last week, and is self-explanatory. “Privy vaults are everywhere and 1 all the time a menace to the public health. Especially is this true if s everything about them is not fly tight. If the earth has been poiI soned, adjoining wells to vaults are almost certain sooner or later to become poisoned. Wherever vaults 1 and wells exist in the same r< gion, there the conditions of typhoid fever . are found. “The description you give makes plain -that you have conditions which at any time may express themselves in disease and death. Your town board should pass an ordinance prescribing that all vaults • shall be cemented and that privies above them shall be made fly tight. . This sanitary movement would be [ one of good business. It would te one of economy. * “You know that it is true that . the amount of tvphoid fever in any community is in direct prop: rtion to the quantity of human sewage ! consumed by the average ci. izen. I Flies and seepage from human sewage disposed of as you describe . sooner or later bring sickness and [ death to the inhabitants. “You will do well to call the attention of your town board to the 1 health ordinance and also the antifly ordinance found in the boc k of instructions to health officers. This . book will be found in possession ot your local health officer." Very truly yours, J. N. Hurty, Sec’y. ; ■ Largest Sunday School in W irld. The largest Sunday School in the world is at Brazil, Indiana, a city of only nine thousand inhabitants. The number enrolled is 4,897, and the men’s Bible class alone numbers 219. This is for the most part due to the personality of the superintendent. Six thousand of the citizens of the town are members of the Methodist church. Among the Goshen visitors last Thursday were Tillman Hire and wife, Mrs. Eldridge and daughter, Margaret, Mrs. H. W. Buchholz Mrs. Chas. Beery and Mrs. Fred Hoopengarner. C. I. Bender and Mr. and Mrs. Shroufe of Wilmot were the guests of Mrs. C. I. Bender and family over Sunday.

LIGONIER’S UATOH BABY Dr. Fred R. Clapp reports that the prematurely bom girl baby that was born to Mr. and Mrs. Strong several miles west of the city, eight weeks ago, is now strong enough to be taken out of the Banta incubator, where it was put a few hours after its birth. The infant has developed and is now as strong as any child of natural birth and has thrived ever since it was put in the machine which is built like all Banta incubators only that it has a full glass door in front and is constructed to i give the infant plenty of room. The i machine was operated by the child’s i grandmother and it did not vary . more than a degree in temperature i during the whole eight' weeks. Dr. i Clapp is to be congratulated upon i his success, as such infants have a . very small chance to live unless s treated according to modern meth- : ods. This incubator is kept ready to use at the Baqta-Bender factory :■ and has been sentTo several points r within the past few years. L. A. i Banta built a specially designed and : constructed incubator for Hope hos- . pital at Fort Wayne last year, and i several others are in operation.— : Ligonier Banner. Obituary. . Roy Russell Crandall, son of Frank and Bertha Crandall, was born Oc- ■ tober 23rd, 1894, at Oak Grove, In- , diana. He lost his life by drowning April 3rd, 1911, at the age of 16 years, 5 months and 10 days He lived the most of Kis life in Syracuse. It was here that he spent his childhood days, and had his devoted friends among the boys and young men. While living here he 1 was a. regular attendant of the r Evangelical Sunday School. He was a student in the Syracuse high school. The teachers say that he was interested in his work, faithful in attendance, and a good boy in school. ' M His father and mother loved him dearly. It was his untimely death that called the mother to his side in Heaven. He leaves a grandmother, two great-grandmothers, a great-grand-father and the father, who must take heart, for "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Mrs. Otis Butt had her right hand badly cut on a lamp chimney Monday.
