Barn Burns. Tramps are thought to have been responsible for the fire which destroyed the bam belonging to Jacob DeFreese, near Milford Junction. Railroad men discovered the blaze about 1:30 Sunday morning and irumediately notified the family, but they were powerless to do anything. One calf was burned and quite a few farm implements belonging to other parties were destroyed. The damage was estimated at SISOO. Mr. DeFreese was painfully burned while attempting to remove the implements. The building was insured. Stewart Reunion. The annual Stewart reunion was held at the home of Sherman Stewart near Vawter Park, Sunday, and about 125 were present. A fine program was carried out. Those present from Syracuse were Dr. and Mrs. Bowser, Mrs. Elsie Cable, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Juday, Eston McClintic and family ard Orland Strieby. Race Not Dying. The Indians of our country are not a “vanishing race.” The latest census places them at 322,000 as against 270,000 ten years ago. “They are not a dying people.” They are not passing from the stage of human affairs, forced out by advancing civilization, but are a growing people who have much of their way before them. Drew S6OOO Per Year. U. Stokes Jackson, who died at his Greenfield, Ind. home, drew S6OOO per year as sergeant at arms of the national house. He was long an ardent admirer of W. J. Bryan. For several years he was chairman of the Indiana democratic committee. Winona Changes Time. The Winona Interurban line has mailed us their corrected time table that went into effect last week. There was no provision made that will overcome the long wait in the afternoon for Goshen passengers. Still Likes Syracuse. Darvy Barthlomew, who resides on a farm near New Paris, was in our office, Friday, and expressed his intention of again making this place his home. Mr. Barthlomew left here eight years ago.

j torn** N LIFE’S DISAPPOINTMENTS |

BAND BOYS DO m WELL The Dale Carnival Company Comes Out Behind. Town is Too Small. The Carnival Company that entertained us laet week pulled stakes Saturday night and left on the morning train for their next stand south of Indianpaolis. The local band realized something like S7O as their share of the proceeds and the amusement company failed to play even by about $65. The town is evidently too small to support an aggiegation of this kind and actual benefit derived from it is infinitesimal. The money-making stunt that really made money was the booth wherein the dishes were raffled ofi. It showed that the germ of speculation is in nearly everyone’s blood and only needs the opportunity to burst forth. Clover Hay Poor. S. E. Whitehead, the genial Benton township farmer was a caller at the Journal office Monday. Mr. Whitehead stated that the recent rains has interfered with the proper ripening of the clover and predicted rather a poor crop. On the other hand rain has helped the timothy and as a rule the quality will be good. Mr. Whitehead had 50 acres of wheat out this spring and was compelled to sacrifice all of it. He asserted that there was not a field of wheat in Benton township that would yield ten bushels to the acre

The case of El wood George, against the Vandalia railroad, a suit for dam ages for the distraction of an automobile was called in the DeKalb’ circuit court last Week. Mr. George was on his way to Lake Wawasee and was crossing the Vandalia tracks at Churabusco, when two cars which had been pushed to make a flying switch, and which he could not see because of smoke and steam from the locomotive, bore down upon him and his companion, a Mrs. Miller. They escaped unhurt, but the auto was completely demolished, and Mr. George asks damages. The railroad claims contributory negligence on the part of Mr. George, and he claims that he looked up and down the tracks before crossing, and saw but one engine, and that was standing some distance from the~ crossing. The cars which struck the auto came from the other direction he says. The case was venued from Fort Wayne.—Churabusco Truth. The Journal SI.OO a year.

B 8 0 WILL BUILD NEW DEPOT HEBE s-TF'i/.r \ -f viH-.fc, - » 11 »* New Structure To Be Patterned 1 After Depot Built At Fostoria, Ohio IL ' r . Mr. W. T. Colwell Dear Sir: Your communication addressed to Mr. Batchelcier at Chicago has been referred to me. I am glad to inform you that we have plan for new passenger st ation separate from the freight depot at Syracuse, and hope to be able to put it through this season. If our plan is approved, I think it will meet all requirements. Yours Truly, W. T. Barrett. The above letter was irecieved in answer to a petition signed by some of our citizens and sent to the B. & O. officials, when it was thought that it was their intention to patch up the old depot. We understand the new depot will be a duplicate of the one at Fostoria, 0., and it will add materially to the impression on the stranger who alights in our midst. Syracuse is deserving of the laest in the depot line and the citizens here mean to see that they get it. Before the company secured their own florist it was the custom of our people to plant flowers in the depot park, as it has been a renting place for a number of people. The site is ample for a good subs tantial new depot, and before the summer is over we hope to see one erected. Suit Conipromii ed. The suit instituted by the former wife of J. P. Stuart to obtain alimony which the court had allowed her, when granting the divorce several years ago, was compromised and the suit dismissed.

Noted Cartoonist Coming. . Nearly everybody loves pictures and cartoons. Almost from the time a child is old enough to ask for the “Funny page” or comic supplement of the Sunday newspaper until when grown, he searches the paper first of all for “Mutt and Jeff” or some other cartoon. Pictures have always found a welcome among ordinary American folks. On the opening day of the Chautauqua, Hon. James R. Barkley of lowa, one of America’s foremost crayon artists is to appear on the program. Mr. Barkley is a born artist. His cartoons and pictures include everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. Some of his cartoons are funny enough to make ; even a pessimist laugh. Some of them bring tears to the eyes of the audience. A novel feature of this day’s pro-i gram will be Mr. Barkley’s illustrating of several songs while they are being sung by Mrs. Battis, a talented vocalist. The clay modeling of Mr. Barkley will also add charm to the program both afternoon and night. Another star feature will be presented the same day in the appearance of William Sterling Battis, America’s foremost impersonator of Dickens. All over the world the people are observing this year as the “Dickens Centenary.” There isn’t a man who knows Charles Dickens better than does the foremost Dickens specialist. William Sterling Battis, who talks, looks and acts the Dickens characters. His whole life has been spent in this line of work. In early life as an actor, he made his debut in the old McVickers Theater, Chicago, on the back of Joseph Jefferson in “Rip Van Winkle.” His stage experience covered a wide field. Watch for the program which will soon be on hand. The above is only one day’s program.

George Colwell has received his commission as Scout Master and active organization has begun. We do not know of a better thing for the boys of Syracuse.
