ANNUAL CONVENTION Al INDIANAPOLIS Dr. And Mrs. Hontz Attend As Delegates From This City. ■mini Reports of officers were submitted and routine business transacted at the opening session in the Indiana Pythian building, of the annual convention of the Indiana grand lodge, Knights of Pythias. The report of the grand chanceller. W. P. Hart, said that for the last 34 years the grand domain of Indiana has never failed in any year to increase its membership. The net gain for the year ending June 30, 1912. was 483 and the total membership was 65.387. This it was explained, was the first time the membership had passed the 65000 mark. Mr. Hart stated in his report that the Knights could scarcely look for any abnormally large gains in the future, as the memberships in proportion to the the population of the domain is already at a high mark and'far in excess of that of any other grand domain in the world. Mr. Hart said also that financially the domain is in splendid condition and is the weathiest grand domain in the supreme domain. On account of the inability of the regular and alternate delegates from the local lodge to attend, Dr. Hontz went as a delegate. Mrs. Hontz was a delegate to the grand lodge of the Pythian sisters, which was held at the same time. Wilkison-Munson. The marriage of Miss Leone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wil kison, who live about 4 % miles southeast of here, and Stanley Munson, occurred at South Bend,, the seventh of September. The bride is ■ likeable young woman and a graduate of the ‘OS class of the Syracuse high school. She has been employed in South Bend for the past six years. The groom is from Minnesota, and is a civil engineer employed at the Oliver Plow Works, of South Bend. They are at home to their friends at 1212 Michigan Ave. of that city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Hovis of the M. E. church in South Bend. Went By Prairie Schooner. Mr. John Van Arsdol of Defiance, lowa, came Thursday for a visit with his niece, Mrs. C. W. Johnson, and other relatives. Mr. Van Arsdol formerly lived on Solomon’s Creek, but followed the tide of emigration west about sixty years ago, making the trip in a "praiaie schooner” with an ox team.

The Syracuse Journal.

Methodist Episcopal Church October the 3rd was a red letter day for the friends of the local church. Five Methodist Pastors from adjoining Charges were present and discussed subjects of vital interest to the church. In the afternoon Rev. W. T. Daly, of North Webster, spoke of the American Harvest fields and the need of educating and christianizing the immigrant, the inmate of the slum and also every one who was not a Christian. Rev. C. A. Cloud, pointed out the need of informing self as to the catholicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ ans the Cosmopolitain nature of his kingdom and the ne d of christianizing all lands.l Rev. W. B. Buckner, of New Paris, highly commended the ladies for their activity in the church and ! lamented the fewness of men, and said all should be preachers of the gospel of the open hand for as God I had so freely given to us we also , ought give. In the evening Revs. Cates, of Nappanee, and Bose, of Wakarusa, discussed the young peoples relation to the world problem of evangelism. I Rev. Cates said, the eagerness with which the youth of India of Africa and of China accepts the gospel is a challenge to the youth of America to give them the gospel. Rev. Bose said, “we are not to Send the gospel simply because so many are going down into Christless graves, but rather, because so many must live Christless lives.” All were highly pleased with the appearance of the church and with the cordiality with which they were received. Next Sunday morning will be Old, Peoples Day; Special effort will be made to have all the old members and friends of the church out. In the evening the Pastor will discuss the question of Amusements from the modern progressive standpoint. Everybody welcome to these services. Not Sick This Time. Geo. Xanders probably learned from a former experience that too much chicken isn’t good for any man. We are told that on a former registration day that he fed, not wisely, but to well, on chicken, that had been sent into the booth, anti left his brother members of the board to partake of the more common beef, with the result that an ambulance was neccessary to transport him to the hotel. f • , Porch Factory Started. Milford’s porch factory has started. D. M. Bechtel of Goshen is president, William Deutsch general manager and Prof. James Shepard of Milford, secretary. Rev. W. E. Groves, Milford Mail editor, pushed the button that started the machinery. The Milford Commercial Exchange secured the factory.

TICKETS ON SALE FOR THE LECTURE COORSE A Fine Array Os Talent Has Been Secured For This Year’s Work. 1 e The Ladles’ Aid Society of the 1 Methodist church have brought to- • gether an imposing atray of talent ! for the winter months Five enterj tainments will be given. The first number will appear next Tuesday evening, namely: the i Cavenys. The gentleman is a clay ■ modeler, cartoonist and illustrator and the lady is a soprano recitalist I and a pianoist. Dr. Cole, who was here with the Chautauqua, spoke very highly of their ability and the number, undoubtedly will be well worth while. In November, Mr. R. R. Teeter the well known lecturer, will come here. This man is a headliner and very popular everywhere. Mr. Teeter gave the class address here, in 1911. Lou J. Beauchamp, the man who makes you laugh will give on e of Jus humorous lectures on January 7th. It is doubful if any man on Chautauqua platform causes as much laughter in an evening as does this popular entertainer. Nanah Rense, dramatic reader, 1 entertainer and monologist has been secured for Febuary 4th. Miss Rense is an acknowledged success on the lecture platform and is worthy of attention. The season will close with everyone’s favorite— a male quartette. The Amphion Male Quartette has flattering press notices from every place they have appeared and an evening spent with them will be long remembered. The Ladies’ Aid are putting out tickets for the entire course for sl. Any two of these numbers are worth this this sum and the educational features of this course are worth many times the cost to you and your children. \ Lots Os Bread About 5,000 loaves of bread and 12,000 buns were baked by Bremen bakers and sold during the fair week.

He states that he is » bible student and sent a list of questions that will be gladly furnished to anyone interested.

REGISTRATION FIGURES Turkey Creek township has probably 40 citizens, who are temporarily disfranchised, or in other words, about 40 neglected to register. A total of 180 registered in the first precinct, leaving about 16 to be accounted for. In the 2nd, 208 out of approximately 230 have registered. The 3rd, the largest precinct, had a total registration of 238 leaving about 15 who did not take advantage of their three opportunities. Re v. Mm ray Hurt. Rev. Murray of Leesburg, a fomcr pastor of the Methodist church here, was seriously hurt, Sunday, when an automobile driven by Frank Bunger, struck the buggy he was in. Rev. Murray and John McClure were driving from New Paris to Richville, where the former intended to fill the pulpit. The two men in the buggy saw the automobile approaching when at Sherman Juday.s corners and thinking Mr. Bunger was going to turn down the road they were on, they turned up the other way. Mr. Bunger, however was going straight on, and crashed into the rear of the buggy before it wos possible to control the machine. Mr. Murray was taken to New Paris and then to Leesburg, and we do not know just how badly he was hurt. No blame can be attached to anyone for the accident. It was a case of wrong guessing. Marriage Announcement. The editor has received an announcement of the marriage of Sverre I. Nelson of Oak Park, 111., who has many freinds in Syracuse and vicinity. The name of the bride was Miss Lillian J. Koford of Joilet, 111., According to announcement Mr. Neilson was married April 23rd and it sort of looks as though he had “put one over” on his friends.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS IN THIS STATE Geo. W. Miles Says There Are More in Indiana Than In Any Other State. Geo. W. Miles, state fish and game commissioner, came from Indianapolis, Saturday, to register and to attend to some contract letting in connection with the fish hatchery located on Wawasee. In conversation with the Journal man he gave out some interesting facts about prane chickens in Indiana. Three years ago the state legisla-, ture passed a law restraining any-: one from shooting prairie chickens for a period of six years; the object ; being to give them a chance to, multiply. That the order was a wise one, can be seen from the fact | that our state can now boast of a larger number of these birds than any other state in the union. In fact, Mr. Miles states that 10.000 would be a very low estimate. At first it was not such a difficult feat to protect the few that were'here, but as the numbe rhas increased, more care had to be exercised to protect the prairie chickens from the ravages of hunters. Mr. Miles has two deputies mounted on motorcycles in the Kankakee district who use every means to keep these birds unmolested. But as they multiply, they are spreading over the state; some have been seen near Ft. Wayne and Fred Hinderer of near Syracuse, reports that some were hatched on his farm this season. and that there are probably twenty or more there now, and this makes guarding them more difficult. Our state game and fish commissioners is naturally elated by the success of his efforts and thinks that at the end of the six years set by the legislature, (that would be about three years from now) an open season of possibly two months a year, with a bag limit of say five, can be arranged that will afford hunters excellent sport. In the meantime, a strict watch will be kept and anyone caught killing these birds will be given the heaviest penalty the state allows and no leniency will be shown to culprits.

Wood On Subscription. We can use two loads of wood to apply upon subsription. 18 Pound Pike. Mrs. B. F. Burke of Marion, hooked an 18 pound pike in front of Brunje’s Park Tuesday noon and pulled into shore and landed it. Mrs, Burke is the mother of Walter Weaver. New Pastor. Rev. Alvin Eshelman has been appoionted as pastor of the Church of God. He will probably preach a week from next Sunday. This is his first charge. We were unable to secure any but meager details. Rebulican Speech. The Hon. James F. Stutesman, former United States minister to Bolivia, will address the voters of this vicinity at the Syracuse Opera house, Friday evening, October 18. This gentleman is a renowned campaigner and will undoubtedly give an interesting speech. Ladies as well as men are invited to attend.

Unexpected Death. Virgil Alms, serving as registration clerk at Warsaw, dropped dead from heart trouble. Mr. Alms had worked all morning and at 11:30 leaned over sideways in his chair and expired. Mr. Alms was 58 years of age and has made Warsaw his home for a number of years.. He is survived by a wife, who is at present in poor health and one son x John, of Valparaiso. He was wa active Odd Fellow and followed the profession of decorating and hanging. He has a number of relatives in and about Syracuse. W* C. T. U. Convention. The State Convention of the W. C T. U. convened this year at Kokomo with larger attendance than ever before; 560 voting delegates were seated. This many women with mother hearts beating earnestly for the protection of the boys and girls against the great evil of intemperance and vice of all discriptions will be a mighty education in the homes of the old “Hoosier state” in which we take so much pride.. Mrs. Clara Eagles represented the Syracuse union and Mrs. Martha Rapp and Josephine Woods the Wawasee union.

Succeeds W. A. Beane. Cecil Kilgore, of Washington township, was elected superintendent of the Noble county school by the township trustees last Thursday to fill the unexpired term of W. A.
