NEGOTIATIONS FOR MDRHOMPLEIED New Company Agrees to Employ Fifty Men for a Period of Five Years. A piece of news that is of much interest to local people was made public the early part of the week. As is pretty generally known negotiations have been pending with several concerns relating to the occupancy of the building formerly owned by the Advance Radiator Company. Considerable difficulty was encountered in securing an industry that was on a sound financial basis and one that did not require an investment in stocks. Hedley J. Donahue, a manufacturer, of Chicago, has contracted with the citizens of Syracuse to employ 50 men in the manufacture of heaters, metal fence posts and auto truck wheels. To secure control of the foundry property, he must furnish employment to the above mentioned number of men for a term of five years. The old radiator plant will be purchased by subscription and the deed will be held in trust by the Syracuse bank until the manufacturer has complied with the conditions ot his contract. Mr. Donahue purposes having a

force of men at work in a very short time making necessary repairs on the building and installing the required machinery for the operation of his plant. Prospects look very good for prosperous conditions in Syracuse and especially since this added industry seems assured. All the assistance possible ought to be given the committee who have in charge the promotion of the new foundry plans, as the benfits from a plant employing 50 men will be far-reaching. Our city, as we know, has been a little unfortunate in one or two past enterprises and consequently has investigated this new industry thoroughly. Cheering (?) News We received notice from the paper houses that all paper has advanced ten per cent. The reason given was that the manufacturers have to pay more for raw material. On top of this bit of information comes the command from the post master general that we cut off all subscribers who are in arrearages over one year. We have a limited time to do this and we wish that all of our subscribers who know themselves to be delinquent would advise us as to when they can settle. We are giving you a larger paper than most weeklies and we are doing it at a lower price. Come in and talk to us about it.

OFFICERS SEARCH BLHESIOENCE Are Informed that Stolen Goods Were Concealed in the Otto Bly Home. i . Sheriff Charles A. Kmtzel of Kosciuso county, armed with a search warrant sworn out by Detective Dickson, of Fort Wayne, searchedthe home of Ott Bly, in Syracuse, expecting to find goods stolen from cottages on Lake Wawasse. No goods that could be identified were found, however, During the past few months no less than a dozen cottages have been entered and robbed and the officers have been looking for the guilty parties. Otto Bly, who has been in jail for several weeks on a charge of bootlegging. endeavored to smuggle a letter to his wife, through a prisoner who had completed his sentence, but the letter was intercepted by the sheriff. The letter, it is said, indicates that Bly and his wife had been guilty of robbing the cottages. Detective Dickson, who had been working for various parties, also found evidence against the Blys and the search warrant on Friday was the result. Among the cottages recently robbed were those of Dr. Bulson of Fort Wayne, and Newell Bros, and Mrs. Aubbellof Goshen. Several other Goshen cottages were visited. Mrs. Bly accompanied the sheriff to Warsaw on his return and this led to a report that she had been arrested. Government Will Help. If the bill which has just passed the house is successful in the senate and is signed by President taft, aid from the national government to the extent of about $25 a mile will be st cured for the good foods to be constructed in every section of Indiana. The measure is a rider on the postoffice appropriation bill and provides for a national subsidy of $25, S2O and sls a mile for good roads which are traveled by the United States rural mail routes. Nearly all the roads which are to be improved in this county this year are used as rural routes, but as few of the proposed roads are over three miles in length the government aid will not be large. A sidelight on good road building in the United States is shown, however, in the estimate that the subsidy will cost the government from $15,000,000 to $lB,000,000 the first year.—Ligonier Banner. George Pope Dies. George Pope, 55 years old, 425 East Third street, passed away Wednesday morning at St. Joseph hospital at 3 o’clock from complications. He was operated on late Monday evening as a last resort, it being thought that his life might be saved. He was born in England June 1, 1857. In 1893 he was marreid Jto Miss Emma Gray in England. Mr. Pope has lived in Mishawaka three years since his coming from Syracuse, Ind. Besides his three brothers, Walter. Thomas’and Alexander, all of England, and one daughter, Lillian Mac Pope at home. The funeral was held at St. Paul’s Episcopal church Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. L. C. Rogers officiating. Interment in the citv cemetery.—South Bend Tribune. Unconstitutional. The Indianapolis Star raises a question as to the constitutionality of the registration law. The law, says this paper, does not permit the registration of ypung men who become of age between October 6 and election day and without registration nd one can vote. This is setting aside a constitutional provision that gives native born or naturalized citizens over the age of 21 years the right to vote on election day. It is urged by the Star that a decision be at once procured from the supreme court to decide whether tho law is effective. The Journal is still SI.OO a year.

Heerman. Nearly all members responded in some manner when called upon and after two hours of various amusement, Mrs. Colwell contributed her share, dainty refreshments.

LET’S HAVE A CLEAN-UP DAY One of Our Enterprising Citizens Makes Some Very Timely Suggestions Editor of The Syracuse Journal: It has become a custom in lots of towns and cities to have at this time of the year, a day or a few days set aside for the purpose of cleaning up the streets and alleys of the entire town. There probably is not a town in the State of Indiana, the size of Syracuse, that has any where near as many visitors in the Summer, and they are largely people from the cities where they keep things up; and they are very quick to notice anything that suggests enterprise. Syracuse naturally is very beautifully located; pretty shade trees and on a very beautiful lake, and we as citizens ought to take pride in making the town as clean and beautiful as possible. Science also tells us that to keep clean we will prevent disease. Keep things away that draw flies and you will to a certain extent stop them breeding. In view of these facts we ought to have a general clean up of our entire town. Our Marshal could be instructed to tear down some of the blaring signs that stare one in the face telling of the great curing quality of medicine or the flavor of some tobbacco We hope to see the day when Indiana will follow the example of some of our eastern states and prohibit the painting of large offensive signs to stare one in the face and spoil the beauty of our streets and highways. There is no personal feeling in this article, Mr. Editor, and it is up to you to advocate this sentiment through the columns of your paper and see what can be done. The Town Board has built a very fine dock for the benefit of the lake people, the B. & O. R. R. has opened the bridge between the lakes and we are going to have a new passenger depot this summer and what are we going to do? Use a little paint on the fronts of some of our store buildings and show the people who visit us this summer that we are alive here and appreciate their presence. A Citizen. To the Men of Syracuse. There will be a meeting at the U. B. church next Sunday afternoon, May 26, for men only, wherein Rev. Warren L. Bunger, of Dayton, Ohio, will speak on questions concerning men, and again at 7:30 when both men and women are invited. There will be special music by a quartet and men’s chorus, with orchestra accompaniment. Let every man of Syracuse come and hear this excellent speaker,who holds the responsible position of secretary of Otterbein Brotherhood of the U. B. church, and conservation secretary of the national team of the Men and Religion movement, and has aided in the launching of this’movement in all the large cities of the United States. ; Think SI,OOO Too Much. _ SSamuel’* Bushong. Pearl Perry and {Joshua Perry, devisees and legatees under the will of the late Rebecca Stetler, through their attorneys, Butt & Xanders and L. W. Royse, have filed objections in eight paragraphs in the Kosciusko circuit court to the first current report of B. F, Deahl, executor. The principal objection was to the allowance of SI,OOO to the executor for services. Mass Meeting. There will be a Frances Willard mass meeting at the Lake Bethel church next Sunday at 2:30 p. m. Everybody cordially invited. We can sell you beautiful silk for a stylish dress or waist for little money. A large selection. A. W. Strieby

An Interurban Story. The interurban bug is again buzzing in this vicinity and a line may be a reality in the near future. A number of Ft. Wayne capitalists—who really have capital—incorporated last week for the purpose of building a number of interurban lines radiating from Ft. Wayne. The title of the new company is “Ft. Wayne Union Traction Co.” and they propose building seven lines projected from Ft. Wayne. Route No. 3 is of the most interest to local people and will run through Churubusco, Wolf Lake, Kimmell, Cromwell, Syracuse and Milford. There can not be much question as to the value of such a line to our town and it also helps materially to increase land values. One land owner says: “If I had forty farms, I would want aninterurbqp through every one of them.” The building of the line, the promoters say, depends largely upon the energy of the people along the line in securing right of way and other aid. We do not believe this would be so hard if the company has the capital that is claimed. At least the people are in a receptive mood, as a whole, and an assured and worthy proposition would receive consideration. The New Coins. As the bill providing for the coinage of three cent pieces and onehalf cent pieces passed the lower house practically without opposition, it is almost certain to become a law. The measure stipulates that they shall be coined of 75 per cent, copper and 25 per cent, nickel. All one cent pieces will hereafter be. made from the same specifications, and they will be a trifle smaller than the present penny. The present one cent pieces are 90 per cent, copper and 10 per cent, nickel.
