WRITES ANOTHER EUROPEAN LETTER Interesting Tale Os Travels Os The Ficks In Switzerland. (Continued from last week.) is what that station is. In fact it is just a great hollow cajjved out of a cake of ice. Sonie «?places they crossed wide crevices on a narrow plank, roped together, always, so if one slipped the others held him up. They entertained them selves at times by throwing chunks of ice over the sides and counting until they heard them strike the bottom of the abyss. In Mr. Ficks party, and roped to him were three others, and of course a Swiss guide. One of them was a Russian nobleman, Count George Von Peetz, of Petersburg. My one and only regret at declining to make the trip is because in thinking it over I find that by so doing, I slighted ray first and in all probabilities my last and only chance to ‘be tied” to a man with a title, an honor which so many American women crave. M. C. S. Entertained At Warsaw. Nineteen Syracuse ladies, members of the Lady Macabees, were entertained at the home of Mrs. A. A. Rasor in Warsaw, Friday.

FARMERS CLUB PRACTICAL Successful Organizations in Existence a Half Century. A well-managed farmers’ club is the most helpful, inspiring and useful institution in any community. It does a work with which no other organization can compare, for it leads not only directly to better farming methods, but to a closer social intercourse which is greatly needed in the country. There are thousands of farmers’ clubs scattered throughout the country and generally they act independently of each other. There is no central organization. Each club is organized in accordance with the ideas or whims of its members, but all have the same general aim in view—improving conditions of their homes and the community, says Farm and Home. Some very successful clubs have been organized for over 50 years and are limited in membership. There are several of hese clubs in the east with a membership of 20 to 25 members and their wives. A committee on membership recommends a farmer when there is a vacancy, his name is then forwarded to each member, and at the next meeting a secret ballot is taken which must be unanimous. This is done to insure the election of those who are likely to prove congenial, with the other members, for in such an organization the social features play an important part. Most farmers’ clubs have no limit to their membership, or else their limit is so high that all the farmers in a community can join. Free Gai den Seeds.

Os pT#W ~ A HOGE SUCCESS Banquet And Entertaining Committee Proves Entirely Capable. While the attendance at the annual Knights of Pythias banquet was somewhat smaller than last year, the diminished numbers did not detract from the enjoyment and appreciation of the good things to eat and the fine entertainment. About 130 were seated at the banquet tables. In former years the securing and preparing of the repast was contracted to caterers. This year a committee was appointed by the lodge and if there was anything lacking in the service and edibles, no one noticed it. The entertainment committee gave a moving picture entertainment. The first picture gave the story upon which the order is founded and the other a humorous picture. The Syracuse Orchestra made their first public appearance at this time and their music was highly enjoyed. • Letter From S. L. Ketring. Havana, Feb. 17,

Dear Wife and Daughters: We arrived here at nine this morning. Before they would allow us to land, a doctor came aboard the boat and pretended to examine us for infectious diseases. All he done was to call our names and have us stand up. On the pier the revenue officer examined our baggage before we could get through the gate. The weather is rather cool but pleasant today. The Indiana people are nearly all stopping at this Hotel. This certainly is an ’ interesting city, everything so dif- ’ ferent than in our cities. Many of ! the streets are only fifteen to twenty feet wide and nearly all speak Spanish. The parks are beautiful, all filled with fine shade trees and all kinds of tropical shrubery and I beautiful flowers in full bloom ' The Cuban ladies (many of them) • are simply beautiful, but I think from appearances, they are artists in the use of powder and paint. > They nearly all dress in white from > head to foot. The meals at the > Hotel are very good, also the Spans' ish cooking. The fruits and vegei» tables are all in season and fine and > very cheap. Our Hotel is only three > stories high, the rooms all open > into a court which make these all £ outside rooms and very comfortable. [ My room is on the first floor. The > Hotel fronts on a fine park where a fine military band gives a concert* f- every night. The park contains hundreds of rustic seats where the £ people sit and listen to the music £ until after midnight. I think I will | be here until next Monday, then I will go to Key West for a day or b two. If you write me, doq’t send » any mail here after Thursday this I week as it will take three or four | days to reach here. Hoping to hear » from you soon and with love to all, » I am I Yours, S. L.

So we are to have an election on the wet and dry question. Well the State says, if one-fifth of the legal voters of the township desire such an election it must be granted. The petitioners have simply made use of their right, that is all. But say, you other four-fifths you had better get busy and ask some questions. Here are two: What is the election for? Who are asking for it? Better find out. Did you hear conditions are ■ worse now than with Saloons? If so who ought call for this election? Did you think of that? Did you say the cost of living is high? Do you think the women t and children will have more beefsteak and wear better clothing if the men have a chance to pay into Saloons six thousand dollars a year? Did you say, business is dull, col-

lections hard to make? Do you think your business will be increased and collections made easy by inviting two saloons to open up here and take the first six thousand dollars out of the pockets of your customers? Did you say, Down with the Trusts, and would you by vote invite two agents of the most lawless, most heartless trust of the day, the Whiskey Trust, to do business here? But why go to the trouble and expense of an the purpose of which is to try to legalize that which the courts have declared the greatest crime producer of the age, that” which we know will increase the cost of living, and that which will divert money from legitimate business of the community. Why? —Adv. punslrrwT FORHEW DEPOT New Structure Will Probably Be Started This Spring. H. W. Bucholtz has received the blue print plans of the depot that will in all probability be built in Syracuse by the B. & O. this summer. The plans show it tobe similar in plan to the one at Fostoria, Ohio. It will far exceed the one at Nappanee in construction, design and size. It will be about 70 feet long and 25 feet wide, built of pressed brick, roofed with tile, and with a concrete foundation. There will be seven rooms in the new building. The ticket office and baggage room will be floored with maple. The general waiting room, ladies’ rest room, men’s smoking room and the two lavatories will be furnished with tile floor, and the two latter rooms will be finished in marble. A freight house and platform will also be built. According to the ' plans the freight house will set in the rear of the depot with a drive- ’ way between, the depot being placed east of its present location. The coal bins used by Wm. Snavely will ■ be twisted around so run straightly ' parrallel with the main tracks. A 3 passenger platfarm of vitrified brick set on edge in cement will be placed on both sides of the track. The foundry in operation and the new ’ depot will make a decided change L for better in the appearance of the south part of town. The depot has been a long time in coming but by not attempting to force matters we have fared better than some of our e neighbors did. h —New Ginghams and Percales for Spring at A W.

CONTRACT SIGNED LAST INUBSDff. The Wheels In < The Foundry Will Soon Be Turning. The ambition of Syracuse citizens to see the foundry again in operation is about to be realized. Numerous disappointments in different men who came here from time to time with the avowed intention of starting the plant and who failed to meet the requirements had given some the notion that the factory never would get to going. It can now be predicted, with ab-

solute certainty, that within 30 i days the foundry will be employing . a fair-sized force of men. We don’t mean that it will be that long before it is started, but it will be that long before any reasonable number of men will be employed. By the time you read this, Mr. Gilderman will probably be located here. His household goods were loaded at Laporte Monday and he is expected at any time. Mr. Gilderman and two associates were in Syracuse last Thursday and signed the contract binding them to the purchase of the foundry building. They paid SSOO down on the con-

tract and the other details will be settled the latter part of this weekAnother Soldier Dead. Wm. M. Jones received word Saturday that his brother, Thomas Jones, of the state of Washington had been killed while rolling a large log on his farm. He was using a stump puller to do the rolling. The blocking gave way and the lever struck him across the hips, hurting internally so that he only lived three hours. He was conscious to the last and said “dont grieve 1 am ready to be called home.” He was buried Sunday Feb. 16 He leaves 3 sons and 2 daughters to mourn their loss. His wife and one son and a daughter proceeded him. He was born 3% miles south of here where he lived with widowed mother until he was 16 years of age, when he enlisted as a substitute in the cival war to fight for his country. He fought under General Sheridan until the close of the war. He was 65 years old and a brother to Wash and Wm. Jones of this place. Niles-Ben der. The marriage of Victor C. Miles and Lillie Bender was solemnized by Rev. Eaton, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Niles, parents of the groom, Monday evening at 6 o’clock. They left on the evening train for Kimmel where they will. spend the remainder of the week. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bender of near Syracuse. Both are well-known and papular young peopl a and have the best wishes of a number of friends. They will reside on a farm belonging to the groom s parents. The Journal extends congratulations. , Why It Pays To Keep I Full Blooded Chickens. ’ Jesse Jarrett met Chas. Pape at Cromwell Saturday afternoon, where Mr. Pape closed a contract with Mr. [ Jarrett for all the Black Minorca , eggs the latter could furnish from k now until the first of June, at an exceptionally good price per hundred, i Mr. Pape also wanted to purchase , some breeding hens, but Mr. Jarrett I was unable to supply him as he J needs all he has.

Mrs. Morgan Dead. Mrs. Margaret Morgan of Chesterton Indiana, died Thursday and was buried Sunday. Mrs. Morgan lived in Syracuse at one time with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Welsh, and here married Doctor Violett who practiced medicine here for a number of years and died at an early age. After this the widow left Syracuse and lived in Goshen until she married Mr. Morgan and from there she went to .Chesterton to reside and that has been her home ever since. Mrs. Morgan was a widely known lady, well liked and very highly respected. Her youngest son, Bennett B. Morgan married Jessie Ketring, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Ketring of this place.
