Phones—Office J4—House 117 Entered as second-class matter May 4, /908, at the post office at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act of Congress oj March 3, 1879. The Milford Mail says: If arrangements can be made for the transfer of the gravel banks owned by j( Messrs. Edward Deeter, W.. R. Deeter and Freemont Tom, which now seems very encouraging, a steam shovel and stone crusher will be installed. The byracuse and Milford railway now have a golden opportunity just ahead, if they will but grasp it. There are millions of yards of gravel for building stone roads in these banks, and the door to stone roads is just now , opening 1 If either ofjthe four bills that are now before the Indiana legislatui e should pass, which is a certainty,, more than $400,000 will pass into ’tUC'Mate road fund through the medium of taxes and be distributed throughout the state for the building of stone roads, and to build these roads gravel and crushed stone must be had, and these men havej-’.. To secure this business this short line must be completed to Milford, and by so doing the gravel can be.transferred to either the Big Four railway at Milford, or the Baltimore & Ohio at Syracuse or both. This is a matter which should be of unmeasured interest to the citizens of Syracuse as well as to the railway company. Under their present condition the town of Syracuse is a shut in, and the completion of this short line would put them in touch with the Big Four and the Winona railway, which would furnish quick transit to their county seat and open up a direct line to Indianapolis for the transfer of all tourists to their beautiful little city during the summer season. —Milford Mail. - We emphatically deny that Syracuse is shut in from the standpoint of an east and west road. Unquestionably our town could use a line running north and south to great advantage and even an east and west line if it would make.terminals at Ft. Wayne and South Bend. But just what good the present S. & M. would do even if it should be extended to Milford is pretty hard to see. We don’t believe that enough business—either frieght or passenger—could be secured to make it a paying proposition. The business men here are almost unanimous in their opinion that it would give business no great impetus in Syracuse. On the other hand, the farmers along the right of-way feel that the completing of "■ this road is due them from the fact that they were expressly promised, they assert, that the line would be carried into Milford and would haul passengers. In conversation with one prominent farmer who sold them right-of-way, the gentleman stated that he was compelled to go to Warsaw two and three times a week, and it would mean a considerable saving in horses and time, should the road be completed. The thing as it stands is no nearer completion than ever, but if pushed there is not much doubt in the minds of those who should know, that compulsion can be successfully used in carrying the road to its promised terminal point. The Most potent f/rce in the progress of a person, business or cityjs “boosting.” Boosting is only another name for advertising. What do yon think of the man who has something to sell and who will refuse to tell anyone about it? It is purely a business proposition. You will draw a'better dividend from advertising than in any investment you 3 could make. It makes no difference whether you want to sell a dozen of eggs, a quart of milk, or an automobile; unless you get the article before a buyer and convince him that you have a better article than the 1 other fellow, you are not going to \ make a very good provider for your V family. ' ? .. 1 A Bifci has passed the Senate \ prohibiting ladies from wearing \plumage of wild birds and will probably become a law. If it had included in this prohibition the wearing of switches made of Chinese hair; corsets that force the “in’aids” up into the throat, and stockings thdt can be detected only by a microscope, it would have been mor? popular with the dress reformers. 1 The Lengths to which card play Ing js going in Syracuse is appalling. Stima of the parents even play cards with their children in the evenings, preferring UA do this rather than hgve their off-spring sky-larking on the strfeet, doing, they know not

what. But really, its regarded as the last word in depravity by some. Whereever possible patronize the merchants who advertise in the Journal. You-&11 find them reliable and ready to- serve you well. They are making an effort to secure your trade; show your appeciation of their efforts. It Might be well to be suspicious of the fellow who shakes hands like a piece of liver and likewise of the one who acts like he was cracking hickory nuts. A Head-line In the Goshen Democrat reads “Reformed Ladies Entertain.” We wonder just what ‘brand of cussedness they formerly engaged in. According To that pesky little animal known as the ground-hog we will have six weeks of cold weather. CHUKCH ANNOUNCEMENTS. Grace Lutheran Church. H. C. Rex, Pastor.

RH EMI I 11 ’’" Fire Captain Struck by Bullet as i!3li He Waits for Car. / q-ispri — READY TO BE INTRODUCED John A. Troyer, Manager of Telephone Company, li Under Surveillance on Suspicion of Being Man Who Fired Shot. * Elkhart.—Shot from ambush in broad daylight by a foe suspected of resenting alleged intrusion into Ms home life, Capt. William Harper of the Elkhart fire department fell seriously wounded in the business section of the city. Harper was awaiting the arrival of a city street car when felled by a bullet. His assailant was not seen, but the fact that the bullet took a downward course, indicated the shot was fired from an elevation. John A. Troyer, manager of the Home Telephone company of Elkhart, who an hour previous had told Harper’s wife he was going to seek redress for alleged interference with his domestic affairs, is under surveillance on suspicion of being the man who fired the shot. Burled by Wreck In Water. Wabash. —One foreigner was fatally and two others seriously injured when ten freight cars rolled down a thirty-foot embankment and dropped into Round Lake, near this city. The men were members of a construction gang, employed by the Erie railroad, and were on loaded dump cars which were being pulled up the new grade, when they broke loose from the engine. Fellow workmen hurried to the rescue of the men and found them pinned beneath the wreckage in five feet of water. With the greatest difficulty the trio was brought to the surface unconscious, but alive, and medical aid given. One, however, will not survive. The cars were wrecked and much of the track torn up. Brutality to Boy Alleged* Seymour.—Malicious mayhem, with his stepson, three years old, the victim, is the charge under which William Allman, a farmer, is held, pending trial in the circuit court. Various forms of torture practiced on the baby are alleged in the sworn complaints of neighbors. They charge that he suspended the boy by means of a rope in the cold water of a well, so that neighbors could not hear him crying; that he held the baby’s bare feet against a hot stove until the soles, were a mass of blisters; that he compelled him to run about the barn until exhausted, cracking a whip at his heels to make him go faster; that he struck him on the head with a stick of wood, nearly cutting his ear off, and frequently kicked and cuffed the boy unmercifully. Another Accused of Arson. South Bend.—Harry Brown, junior member of the insurance adjusting firm of Spira, Sear & Brown, Chicago, was charged by Prosecuting Attorney C. R. Montgomery with arson. The Chicago man is accused of complicity with B. H. Kahn and Ben Franklin alias Fink in the burning of the Farmers’ and Workingmen's store April 12, 1912. Brown was identified by a mysterious Indianapolis woman as one of the men she saw in the store in South Bend on the night of the explosion which caused the fire. It is expected that Brown will be indicted 1 next Monday. His bond has been fixed ; at SIO,OOO. k Seeks Bride In Noblesville. Noblesville. —Ancll Alexander, twenI ty-three years old, of Union City, who Is seeking as a wife a girl “with brown eyes, who is a good cook, a good housekeeper and who has a sweet disposition,” has reached this city in his quest. He says he went to Brazil to see a young woman, but she did not meet his requirements. He came here to meet a girl who, he says, is the daughter of a former county official, but whose name he did not disclose. Alexander declares . he will make a loving husband and is able to properly care for a wife. Fort Wayne Fears FamineFort Wayne.—While it is rather early to make any predictions, local ice dealers are not backward in declaring that this city is likely to face an ice famine next summer, unless there is a sudden change from the springlike weather of the last week to real wintery temperature. Practically no ice has yet been harvested for use in this city, and to obtain an adequate supply requires at least two weeks. As there is also a shortage in northern Michigan, where Fort Wayne generally gets its supply when the ■ local crop fails, the dealers declare there is real cause for anxiety. Naval Desertion Charged. Shelbyville.—Acting on a telegram i received from naval authorities at Washington, Police Sergeant Tolen arrested John Carney, thirty-seven years old, as a deserter, and turned him over to the recruiting officer at Indianapolis. Carney is a married man, and is known here as Alonzo Chambers. The police here took him in charge a year ago, but the govern ment showed no Interest in the case then and he was released. He enlist ed in 1908. He is the second ravy deserter arrested here this week —For Sale a good 6 room resident property, nearly new, with lot 50k 150 feet, price $650.

Excerpts From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os Feb. 3, 1875. R. V. Cory’s residence, a few miles from town came near burning a few nights ago. While Mr. Cory and his family were sitting in the house never dreaming of danger, the alarm of fire was raised by a neighbor. By the help of the neighbor, the fire was quelled after it had burned several square feet of the roof. In consideration of the assistance lent by the neighbor, we are informed that Mr. Cory cancelled a note for two hundred dollars which he held against him. We learn that Mr. Greene of Syracuse, has been off to Michigan City and other points making arrangements to start a lumber yard here in the spring. We hope he is successful as one is badly needed. A sleigh belonging to Mr. Attlebury of Milford was pretty well used up on Saturday last in front of the residence of Mr. Griffith on Main st. The horse became frightened and gave the sleigh a few “left-hand-ers.” Another unsuccessful attempt has been made to capture the James Boys in Missouri. It is singular that these bandits cannot be brought to justice.

ONE SATISFIED AUDITOR H ■ , St. Joseph County Official Does Not * Wish Salary Raised. ! A. * < South Bend, Jan. 31. —At least one ! county auditors in Indiana is not in , favor of the state raising his salary * during the present session of the ‘ legislature, as was provided in the bill - introduced by Representative Ensle, , of Evansville.

It can be prophesied with something akin to certainty that the Advance Radiator works will be operated for some purpose within the next ninety days. Several prospective purchasers of known ability are in communication with the owners and it is highly probable that one of the number will eventuaily close the deal. An enterprise firm would be very acceptable to this town, in fact it would he the making of it, and everyone is anxious to see the wheels turn. Revival Services. Rev. W. H.
