The Syracuse Journal . INDEPENDENT. ( GEO. 0. SNYDER, Editor and Pnblishr rp, Indiana associated Weeklies <a ' v -Z?g~coNce;w Published Every Thursday at Syracuse Indiana. One Dollar Per Year. Phones —Office*4—House 117 Entered as second-class matter May 4, 1908, at the post office at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. We Now Have the means whereby Syracuse may become affluent and prosperous. All that is needed is , confidence and money to again bring the glow of good times and plenty of Work for our labor. To the thinking man, Mr. Gilderman and his associates offer a substantiated proposition—one that does not need a lot of eloquence to display its good points. He will bring into Syracuse $10,000.00 of actual money and ‘ asks only that he be able to sell half J that amount of preferred stock on . which he guarantees to pay 7 per ] cent interest. Furthermore this is < only a loan, and will be paid back I at the end of five years with a 1 premium of $5.00 on every hundred dollars. Don’t accept this statement from us; look into it yourself. Study the concern that he has held an executive position with for the past ten years, the great Rumely corporation of La Porte. He planned and equipped their milliondollar foundry. Don’t you think a man of this magnitude, who is re- j fusing a $4,500.00 a year job tocome here, capable of making a success? Don’t you think he is pretty certain of the future to throw up a job of this size? We need the sac- j tory and we need the kind of men! who are going to run it, to bring Syracuse out of the slough of inaction that characterizes .its present condition. The future of our little city looms brighter now than ever and if this proposition is allowed to i slip for lack of financial support, a big mistake will be made. As we i said above, study the men end the; proposition. You’ll find they are not promoters, thev are foundry i men. ■j You Are All familiar with the advice given by some one about counting ten before speaking in an- | ger. Don’t you think this would apply as well to gossip? There are lots of times when you repeat irresponsible tales told you by some friend, that you would give a great deal to have had no part in. Try the following system: when you have some choice morsel of reputationruiner on your mind, just before telling it to some one else, count ten and after each number try to think of some reason why it should be told. Its dollars to doughnuts that you will run out of reasons before the number 10 is reached. One Os The young married ladies of Syracuse decided to add her mite to reducing the cost of living by baking bread. She thought it would be nice to send her mother a loaf by parcel post. She took it to the post office and handed it in the window to be weighed. It was handed back to her with directions to take it to the B. & O. freight house. News This Week is as scarce as the proverbial hen’s teeth. Don’t forget that the telephone number of the Journal office is 4 and that well be more than , glad to accept accounts of travelers coming or going, or any other thing you think the people of Syracuse would like to know. What Should make this foundry proposition look good to the average citizen is the total absence of watered stock. Every share of

stock of this company is backed up with SIOO and the money is all coming to the State Bank of Syracuse. Boost it! The Milford Mail of last week comments effusively upon the improved taste given to tobacco and whiskey by age. We are almost convinced that his intelligent handling of the subject was made possible by long and varied experience. Doesn’t a guaranteed 8 percent investment appeal to you? That is what the foundry proposition amounts to. You Gotta hand it to that ground hog for being a perfectly good little prophet up to now. Will Go To Cuba. We have received a card from S. L. Ketring. who was at New Orleans when it was written, telling of the old St. Louis Hotel, one of the interesting old landmarks of that place which he visited. We understand that he will probably be unable to make the trip to Panama on account of not being able to secure boat passage. He will probably visit Cuba and. other. WesLlndia points instead. Accepts Position Traveling. Warren T. Colwell has accepted a position as traveling salesman with the H. W. Johns-Manville Roofing Co., of Milwaukee, Wis., and started upon his new duties one week ago Monday. He is still maintaining his law office and will be there on Saturday of each week. The friends of the “Judge” wish him well and it goes without saying he will be successful. W. G. Connolly, ’ who has had his desk in the Journal office since retiring as publisher will share the office of Mr. “Colwell and will transact his growing real estate and insurance business from there in the future. —

Among The Sick. Rosa Juday is ill. Mrs. Will Kindig has been sick ■ for several days but is able to be up i again. Miss Elva Miles is confined to her home by a severe cyld. Mrs. Walter Kimi who has been quite ill the past week, is some better. Mrs. Wm. Berket is very ill. It is supposed that.her sickness is due to a fall on the ice some time ago. Her life was despaired of Saturday and her daughter, Mrs. May Myrtleuan of Millersburg was called and is with her now. Her condition is a little improved. Wm. Sheffield is confined to his home with appendicitis. Dr. J. H. Bowser is able to appear at his office but the attack suffered last week has left him very weak. Mrs. E. M. Fisher has been confined to her home with a severe attack of the grippe. Mrs. Phil E. Snyder has been confined to her home with the grippe. — * SIOO,OOO Fire. Fire visited Auburn about six o’clock, last Saturday evening and destroyed the Mclntyre building ■ causing a loss of SIOO,OOO. Low water pressure hindered the fire department to cope with the flames, and this fact contributed to the heavy loss. All of the county offiicers occupied temporary quarters on the north-west corner of the building, j and a large portion of the county , records were destroyed. The Double Fabric Tire company, occupying the southeast part of the block, was the heaviest financial loser, their loss amounting to at 5 least $25,000. Fifty persons were ■ thrown out of employment. f The McNabe & Carter Auto Sales I Company, located in the southwest corner was also a heavy loser*. The Auburn Courier, owned by ’ W. H. Me Intyre, was a heavy loser, 3 there being but $1,500 insurance on ) the plant, and the linotype originally cost over $3,000. R. C. Dilgard, who had some undertaking goods in a building across j the street, suffered quite a heavy loss. f —The tax books are now open at f the Bank.

37 YEARS AGO. Excerpts From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os Feb. 3, 1875. The ground hog failed to see his shadow and consequently we will have an early Spring. Our streets are as yet almost a glare of ice and very few farmers are able to get into town. In another column will be found an interesting letter from Wm. S. Chase of New Casco, Mich., and formerly of this place. We understand that a young man named Arnold living five or six miles north west of this place, while carelessly handling a revolver accidentally discharged it, the ball entering the arm of his sister, making a very severe wound. From the report of out county auditor made to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Turkey Creek township has 495 children between 6 and 21 years of age. The amount of common school revenue appropriated to the township in January, 1875, was $599.0$ while the amount paid from the township from local taxation on account of tuition was $142.68.

KILLS THREE COLORED MEN » Son of a Wealthy Evansville Manufacturer Shoots With Intent to Kill. Evapsville, Ind., Feb. 10. —Allen Von Behren, age 22, son of B. F. Von Behren, one of the wealthiest and most prominent manufacturers in Evansville, shot and instantly killed three negroes at the wood handle making plant of the Yon Behren Manufacturing company Saturday. His excuse, as given to the police, was that the negroes were trying to run his plant; that they had threatened his life, and that they were carrying revolvers and: knives. The police believe Von Behren was temporarily insane. Soon after the plant began running young Von Behren took an automatic revolved from his desk in the factory office and started through the plant. He first went to John Gordon, a big negro, who was working on a shed and without warning Von Behren put che weapon to Gordon’s head and shot aim dead. Without looking at the dead

negro, Von Behren went back inside . 4,he factory No. 1 department, and 4 u’ere found Henry Gordon, brother of j John. Von Behren put his pistol :o I Henry Gordon’s head and pulled the ' 'rigger. The bullet almost took off . the top of the negro’s head and he ‘ crumpled up in a heap on the floor. < Tther workmen in the factory ran to ; pick him up and Von Behren walked < away. < While the workmen were seeking ■ doctors to examine the Gordon broth- ' ers, Von Behren continued his slaughter. He slipped into No. 2 departu’ent of the factory and without saying st word to Walter Washingtan, alaced tii« automatic revolver against Washington’s and fired. The ball pierced the WP workman’s heart. By this time the whole factory was tn a panic. Workmen who had seen or heard of the insane man’s work lost all interest in the three fa len negroes and fled to save their own ’iveJ. INDIANA NEWS IN BRIEF.
