The Syracuse Journal INDEPENDENT. \V. G. CONNOLLY, Editor and Pnblislir -~) Published Every Thursday at Syracuse Indiana. One Dollar Per Year. Entered as second-class matter May 4, 1908, at the post office at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act of Congress oj March 3, 1879. Is This Good Policy. Since the burglary of Mr. Lepper’s store and safe last Thursday night it has developed that our commissioners and county council make no provision for the payment of any expenses incurred by our sheriff in the search of criminals outside the county. The same law that governs the officials of Elkhart county governs our county officials, but note the difference in this case, being in Kosciusko but near the Elkhart county line. Sheriff Leader, of Elk- ' hart county, entered into the case with might and main sparing neither time nor money in the effort to capture the guilty ones, went with Mr. Lepper to Elkhart, made two trips to Chicago with him and in fact kept right on the trail and encouraged others to do so until he had the parties in cells in the Goshen jail. So far as I have learned Mr. Lepper received neither aicLnor encouragement from our county officials to whom we look for help in such times. We can’t conclude that Sheriff Kintzel is entirely to blame for this indifierence for we know him personally and regard him as a man of honor ready and willing to do his duty as he sees it. The lack, and it certainly is a lack, seems to be in the attitude of our commissioners and county council, whether it is a real effort at economy, or whether it is from bad precedent, or whether they are just playing some childish trick for it is difficult to guess, but in the name of justice and for the saving of the honor of our county we trust that some change may come about so that in times when our citizens need the help of a competent police officer we shall not be humiliated by their having to go to an adjoining county to get such aid. Citizen. W. C. T. U. Meeting. The W. C. T. U. met last Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. John T. Howard. A goodly number was present to participate and also to assist with the program in honor to the memory of Francis E. Willard. Mrs. Alta Brown read in a very effective manner a biographical sketch of the life of Miss Willard. “How beautiful to be with God.” was read by Miss Lena Rentfrow. There was also other excellent selections read. These meetings are quite a literary treat as wellasveiy instructive to every one that is interested in a broader and higher vision. The Lt T. L. work was discussed and decided it was very necessary one should be organized to instruct the children along the line of good citizenship and temperance. They adjourned to meet February 23th, at the home of Mrs. Joe Smelt--zer, part of the pragram will be a spelling match and the list of words, used will be W. C. T, U. officers and workers. All are cordially invited to be present. The Journal, One Dollar a year.

John Petersohn, formerly of Go,shen and Syracuse and who is now in business at Meadville, Pa., was in Goshen last Week after his 13 year old daughter Anna.

The arrangement whereby the father, who has remarried, takes the child, was mutual. Wanted the Earth. It is not always best when you have something for sale and have been offered a good price, to still hold it for a better price. A farmer living near Ligonier had about 1000 bushels of potatoes in the fall, for which he refused 90 cenls a bushel. He buried them instead for safe keeping and a higher price and now he has about 1000 bushels of what might be termed “darnicks” on his hands. Many thousands of bushels of buried potatoes have frozen this winter, a fact that will have something to do with the price this spring, Meeting of Loyal Boys’ Class. The Loyal Boys class of the M. E.

Two of our liverymen were obliged to unhitch from their buggies last night, between here and Milford, and ride their horses in while their passenges went to farm houses for lodging. GRIM STORY OF MISSIONARY Converted Dyak, Forced by Sweetheart to Hunt Heads, Brought Those of Her Relatives. The missionary ligated a fresh cigar. “Yes,” he said, "I have seen grim happenings in my time. The grin, mest, I suppose, occurred among the Dyak head hunters. “We had converted a young Dyak, and the lad had abandoned head hunting forever. But he met a girl, a beautiful girl, and then —” The missionary shook his head and sighed. “The girl listened to his wooing, for he was a handsome lad, but smoked heads to a Dyak maid are what jewels are to a chorus girl, and with a curl of the lip she said: “ ‘You vow you love me, but you bring me no heads to prove it.’ “ ‘But I am a Christian,’ he replied. “ ‘When did a Dyak wooer ever go a-wooing without heads?’ said she. *You are not a man; you are a girl!’ “The young convert ground his teeth and left her. The next morning early he staggered into her presence with bloodshot eyes. There was a bag on his shoulder. ‘ , “ ‘You asked for heads,’ he said •Look!’ “And he emptied from the bag onto the floor the heads of her father and her two brothers!’\ The missionary smiled sadly. “That -wasn’t playing the game,” he said. “It’s the heads of enemies that the head hunter must bring in, not the heads of one’s own brother tribesmen. They shut the young convert in a slatted cage of bamboo to starve to death. He died under his sweetheart’s eye.“ WARM REBUKE FOR SARCASM Western Senator Who Made Many Enemies Was Given Good Advice by > a Friend. For many years there served in the United States senate, from the west, a man of brilliant mind and fine qualities, but who was forever estranging many with whom he desired to be friendly by reason of his incurably sarcastic manner both of speech and action. Once an . intimate friend wrote the senator urging the appointment of another friend to a minor position in the government. The senator returned a most sarcastic reply, declining to recommend the appointment. It is said that he never forgot the merited rebuke he received from the friend who had suggested the appointment “My Dear Senator: I think it would be well for you to reserve your sarcasm for the rapidly increasing number of your enemies, instead of offer-* ing it to the decreasing number of your friends, of whom I am one.”
