NEW «■ IS ALMOST COMPLETED Syracuse Dredging Company Putting In Channel For Pickwick Cottagers. The new channel being excavated by the Syracuse Dredging Co., for the Pickwick cottage owners will be completad in a week or so, barring accidents. This will furnish another direct waterway for boats from Syracuse lake and town to Wawasee and will lessen the distance by a mile or more. The enterprise will cost the cottagers from $1,200 to $1,500 to complete the dredging and construct Y a suitable bridge over the private roadway. The expense of this work is borne by Messrs Geo. Lamb, Dan Zook, John Egbert, Frank Coppes, Roy Miles, Haines Egbert, George Kleder, John Coppes, Dr. Price and probably one or two others. While these gentlemen are more directly interested in having this waterway opened, yet the enterprise is largely for the benefit of the whole public. The new channel will be for general use of all boats and the promoters would have this known from the beginning. Experience has shown that these mad ■ channels must be used freely by the motor boats to keep them free of water plants, and the public is therefore’ invited to use this channel in going from Syracuse to middle and upper Wawasee. „ When the channel is finished the company wih take the dredge to the east end of Oakwood Park and there do some more important work for the Evangelical association. Speech Saturday Evening. Clifford Jackman, progressive candidate for attorney-general, will address a meeting at the opera house next Saturday evening at 8 o’clock.

BABY BURNED TO I DEATH THURSDAYThree Year Old Baby Os Mr. And Mrs. Fred Hoopingarner Consumed. One of the saddest events in the history of Syracuse occurred last Thursday when Philip, the small son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hoopingarner, was burned in the blazing barn, set on fire by his own hands. The barn was used by the little fellow as a play-house, where he passed a large part of his time. Just where he secured his-matcb.es is not known. The matches in his home were kept in a box at the top of the gasoline range, and it would have been a difficult feat for the baby to reach them, although he might have got them in some way from there. As soon as the fire was discovered an alarm was sent in and Mrs. Hoopingarner made a frenzied search of the premises, and not until then did the horrible truth dawn upon her. The father, who is employed at the Seider and Burgener grocery, arrived about this time and both were prostrated with grief, when the realization of their son’s fate came to them. The bam was a veritable sea of flame. It was built about 15 years ago of pine, and while the body of the child could be discerned in the blazing structure, the fire had to be partially subdued before it could be recovered. Little Philip was three years old, the 3rd of last May, and was a bright little fellow, beloved by all who knew him. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the unfortunate parents and relatives. There is a void in that home that time will only partially efface and never wholly fill. The funeral was held at the residence Friday afternoon at 2:30. Card Os Thanks. We desire to thank the neighbors and friends who were so kind during our recent affliction, and also those who sent flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hoopingarner. I* Barnhart Speaks. Quite a number listened to Congressman Barnhart’s speech Monday evening. Mr. Barnhart made the Journal office a pleasant call and while in the office disclaimed responsibility for the publicity law for newspapers. He stated that the senate had tacked on the more odious clauses after the bill had left his hands. —You’ll do better at Beckmans.

ORIENTAL PLAYS ALL THE RAGE Geo H. Bubb Presents A Royal Slave At Opera House Oct. 10th. Mr. E. L. Strieby, the manager of the Syracuse oprea house has secured Clarence Bennett’s beautiful Mexican play, “A Royal Slave” for Thursday evening October 10. The author has evolved a story, startling in its intensity, calling into play the strongest emotions human nature posesses. The loyal, undying devotion of Aguila to his young mistress, the passionate hate of the Countess Inez de Ora, the sweet, confiding love of the gentle Isadora, relieved by the bright, breezy comedy of the American newspaper correspondent and the equally sprightly Annetta, with the specialties they introduce, all contribute their share in making “A Royal Slave” one of the most enjoyable of this season’s offerings. Joseph Moore Dies. The death of Joseph Pressley Moore occurred early last Saturday morning, at the home of his sister, Mrs. J. T. Riddle.
