FOUNDRY ASSUMiNG BUSINESS-LIKE LOOK The Task Os Getting Things In Shape Now Going On. A visit to the foundry on Monday afternoon disclosed considerable activity in the way of preparing for the starting of the machinery. The mechanical equipment of the plant has been idle for so long that a lot of labor is necessary to get it into good working condition. Two men were hired to help in the cleaning up process and three more were added Monday morning making a total force of five for the present. The number will not be augumented until actual operations are begun. Mr. Gilderman asserted that he could not definitely say as to just when the wheels would .begin to turn. He was able to assure the people of Syracuse that it would be before the first of April, however, and probably about the third week in March. Supplies and material have been ordered and the date of starting all hinges upon their arrival. Mr. < and Mrs. Gilderman have moved into the property at the corner of Boston and Huntington streets. Mr. • and Mrs. H. C. Blum beck are occupying the Tripp house on Lake street and E. A' Reidle is staying at the Holton House. This comprises the people who have came here from LaPorte. The Journal is glad to welcome the new arrivals to Syracuse and sincerely hopes they will grow to like our town. / ■ Breaks Leg.

As he was going out of the door with two bucketsfull of water his feet gpt the best of him and he fell in such away as to break his left leg a few inches below the knee.

Anti-Trust Legislation. Represenative Eschibach has gained the distinction of putting through the first piece of anti-trust legislation this session. It is a start in the right direction and we believe will continue. The Indianapolis Sun has this to say about it. “The senate put through a bit of anti-trust type of legislation yesterday in passing Represenative Eschbach’s bill to prevent trade discrimination in the purchase and sale of milk. If the act becomes law, it will prevent milk companies from starting a price war to crowd out a newcomer. This is provided for by a regulation to the effect that equal prices for the purchase and sale of milk shall be maintained. It is the first bit of legislation to go on the statute books outside of railroads rfnd express rate acts that might be called “equal price law’ legislation. Advocates of the “equal price law” say that in the regulation of prices lies the panaeca for all industral and social ills, and that it will do away with special privileges Representative Eschbach, in introducing the measure, had in mind only the correction of a local condition which has cropped nip in a number of cities of the state where the established milk dealers have crowded out the newcomer by a price-cutting campaign.” Horses For Sale. —2 draft mares in f0a1.4 andSyrsold. 3 2-yr. old draft colts. road mares.

PIONEER CITIZEN GONE TOJ.DNG REST Levi Akers, Who Has Been 11l For Long Time Passes Away. One of our pioneer residents of Syracuse was gathered in by the grim reaper, Sunday night at 12 o’clock.' Levi Akers was stricken with paralysis last Juue and this coupled with heart trouble finally caused his demise. For over a week proceeding his death, his condition was such that he could not take any nourishment and it was known that the end must be near. Mr. Akers was born in Prebble county, Ohio, on January 9, 1833, and came to Elkhart county with his parents, while very young. He served two terms of enlistment as a soldier of the civil war; one term of 12 months in the 152nd Indiana, Co. A, and 9 months in the 57th, Co. K. He was united in marriage to Jane Phebus on November 23rd, 1854, and was the father of five children, of whom Samuel, of Syracuse, Charles, of near Churubusco, and Mrs. W. M. Walerius, of Mishawaka, survive. 17 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren also survive. One brother and two sisters are living: Samuel Akers, Sr. and Mrs. Mahala Rookstool of this place and Mrs. Lou Rensberger of Nappanee* Mr. Akers had been a member of the local Masonic order ever since its organization in Syracuse and piior to that time belonged to the North Webster lodge. He was also a member of the Lake View Post, G. A. R. He had many qualities that endeared him to his friends and he will be greatly missed in the community. The funeral was held at the Methodist church, Wednesday morning at ten o’clock. The local lodge of masons attended in a body. The funeral discourse was preached by Rev. Weaver. Aaron Ketring Arrainged. Aaron Ketring was arrested last week charged with illegally selling liquor. He was released on a SIOOO bond signed by Wm. McClintic and his hearing set for sometime in April. The affidavits are for two • specific instances. One that of sell* I ing a quart of whiskey to W. T. ColI well and the other, of selling a case j of beer to John Buheit. In the forI mer instance it is alleged that Mr. I Ketring secured a written order and ; that the deal was made through Go* I shen, but we are informed that there ’ was no written order for the case of • beer. • MWWWfnHIWWWWWWWWWWWnWWWTTWWJj Jscbool IRotesi , v ’ By Lillie Deardorff ; The White children have returned > from the South and are again in I school. ; Clive Plumdeck and Loyd Gilder- > man entered Miss Hamman’s room I Monday of this week. !

Before the writer is the petition for the Local Option Election. It contains one hundred and sixty two names. Less than fifty of these represent thotful law-abiding citizens. Just why these thotful lawabiding citizens signed the petition is a question. No doubt they honestly thot (Editions.would be improved if Saloons were permitted. These names being on the petition complicate matters, for it is as true now as ever, ‘‘united we stand, divided we fall.” The welfare of every community depends on the ability of the law-abiding citizens to see “Eye to Eye” and stand as one man. Here is a situation every man ought carefully consider. If conditions are worse now. if therd is more lawlessness tKhn when saloons were here, why did the leaders and promoters of this lawlessness circulate the petition, and why v did ’ the baser element of the Township, almost to a man sign it? Put a big question mark here and think. A wise man of old said; The love of money is the root of all evil. Take the thot of money-profit out of the Liquor Traffic and the dear peoples’ right, to drink what they please, would soon be forgotten by the Whisky Tfaat, Unde Sam. and the would be Saloon-keepr. If it was only a question of satisfaction to the drinkers, have saloons. But that is not the purpose, money 1 is what is wanted and to get it the saloon keeper must push his business. That means other drinkers, boys taking their first drink. In reply to a personal letter from the editor of this department, the I General Superintdndent of one of i the great Rail Roads said, We i endeaver to discour age drinking ’by pur employees as well as frequenting places where intoxij eating liquors are sold. Now ' Mr. Voter, of Turkey Creek Town- . ship, will you by vote or failure to 1 vote give the opportunity to some ' man, who wants to make easy * money, of opening up a saloon in Syracuse to tempt our boys to do that what which will lessen their j chances of doing and being some- ’ thing in the business world? Yes, the saloons will pay into the Town Treasury Three Hundred Dollars each. This goes into the school fund. I heard a little child L cry. A doll was wanted, no i money, father drank. Brute?

Those that mourn her departure are the companion, two sons, three brothers and one sister, namely Jasper, Ezra Bazzal and Mary, all of Fulton County, with a number of more remote relatives and friends. Mrs. Cleveland was converted and united with the Evangelical Church at the Island class, 13 years ago, the condition of her health did not permit her attendance at the church for some years.

They have secured the lumber shed of Mr. Sheets and the program will include a general display, demonstrations of implements, music by the band, free shows at the Theatorium and the distribution of prizes.
