The Easter Cantata. The choir of the Methodist Episcopal church demonstrated anew their ability to render the choicest music of the day. Every one present got a new conception of what the angelic message, “He is risen,” meant, and, means to the world today. The hope is expressed that the concert will be repeated.

Strieby - Carlson. At the home of Mr. Andrew K. and Mrs. Eva Strieby just south of Syracuse, on March 23, 1913, at 2:30 p. m. their youngest daughter, Carrie, and Mr. Henry 0. Carlson of Indiana Harbor, were quietly united in marriage, Rev. Mygarnt officiating Those present were the immediate family of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Carlson and the Rev. and Mrs. Mygrant. Congratulations were tendered, an hour was socially enjoyed. The Rev. and wife were brought to the parsonage in the midst of the beautiful Easter showers so abundant throughout the day. Mr. Carlson is an electrician and commands a good position at Indiana Harbor, where they will locate for the present. Carrie, was a faithful member of the Evangelical church, and one of the librarians in the Sunday school, where she will be greatly missed. We trust that her talent may be used for good in the school and church of her new home. They are noble young people of good Christian character. May great success, and happiness attend them in life. * * * Registration Unnecessary. —The foremost lawyers of the state agree that it is not necessary for a man to be registered to vote at the local election.

MAURICE RASOR « LETTER California Has A Bad Winter. Rasors Contemplate Return. Hollywood, Cal., March 14, 1913. To the Journal. California, state of sunshine and flowers, has passed a very peculiar winter. Old residenters claim coldest for forty-five years, and 1913 has already had more rain in February and March than generally have in one spring, and rain seldom comes until March or April. Mountains are covered with most beautiful green scenery, and fruit trees are white with bloom, orange harvest is now in full, that is where Jack Frost did not make too severe a visit which places are plenty. Took trip to Ontario, thirty-seven miles east of Los Angeles, to spend day with old friends of Syracuse, Andy Rarick and family also Geo. Slauter, and family, who are always glad to see home people. view Mt. Baldy from their homes. It was capped with snow, which presented a most beautiful sight. This was only one of the many beautiful sights presented in our trip of three hundred miles along coast, and our Jackson Car is doing the work. But you don’t meet Eastern sociability here. Wavs of handling ranch does not appeal to me and will say if not better suited soon will return east in the near future. Yours truly, M. J. Rasor. Two Accidents. We take the following items from our Wawasee correspondents Frank the two-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Knox, was severely bitten in the face Thursday afternoon *by a vicious bull-dog belonging to John Dull. The dog planted his jaws right in the middle of the child’s face, his lower teeth entering the mouth and his upper teeth cutting a gash across the nose and barely missing both eves. The wound bled profusely and Dr. Nye took several stitches to close it. It is hoped that nothing serious will develop yet it was a narrow escape from total blindness as had the dog’s teeth struck a fraction of an inch higher it would have ruined both eyes. Raymond Shady, who was helping Wallace Werker fell trees met with a very narrow escape from death, Wednesday. In running from the falling tree he was struck by a limb and thrown violently against a fence. He was picked up unconscious, but since then seems to be suffering no worse results than a badly scratched face.

Damaging Storm. Syracuse and vicinity escaped : luckily compared with other places that were torn up by the recent I storms. Authentic details from effected regions are hard to obtain ; owing to the destruction of means ! of communication. The heaviest I losers in Syracuse were the Syracuse ’ Flour Mills who suffered about SIOO J loss and the telephone and electric ‘ light companies who were damaged J to a considerable extent by broken ; wires and poles. Geo. Pierce, five ; miles northwest of here had the

; roof of his barn blown off Friday ; morning as did Henry Juday, three ; miles northeast of Syracuse. The I barn of Henry Wertsler who lives I four miles north blown completely I down. Some windows were I broken and much minor damage [ was done throughout this section. Will Build Residence. Fred Hoch has purchased the H. G. Mann property on the comer of ' Huntington and Carol streets and > will build a modern house. He has : sold the building now occupying > the lot. ( New Employee. ; Schuyler Ball of Nappanee has ; taken a position on the Journal and ; he and his wife will occupy the • Kindig property on the comer of ’ Mein end Herrbson streets.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH 27,1913

THE LOCAL MARKETS. Wheat LOO Oats 29c Corn 43c Hogs r B%c Calves —- 9c Cattle 4|@6c)4 Sheep Glc < Lambs 64c Beef Hides 10c Tallow 5c Chickens, live 11c Young chickens 11c Lard X. He Butter 25c I Eggs 15c The Coming Election. —Yes or No? Yes, I vote. Yes means no saloons for Syracuse. Worse now than with saloons? Have you seen a whole car-load of beer unloaded here lately? You did when saloons were here. Has your wife or mother or daughter been insulted lately on Huntington street? It was almost a nightly occurence when we had saloons. We see a drunken man occasionally but the most of them are graduates of saloon days. Was business more promising? Every business man has less bad accounts and the deposits in the local Bank were never so large. The evils of the saloon are known. We should be interested in the elimination of these evils making it easier for a man to live right, and prevent wrong. The fact that bankers, merchant, railway corporations, large manufacturing interests, legislative bo dies all over our country are declaring against The Liquor Trafic should cause us to put the saloon out of Syracuse for good. Eight years ago, in the progress of the race and the evolution of society, a majority of the citizens of Syracuse and Turkey Creek township said, “We will have no more saloons.” Four times since a majority vote has approved this policy This policy would not be questioned to day if it were not for the great Liquor trust which wishes to coin money out Us Tfte wickedness of the people. Are you tired of these ever recurring clashes between wet and dry? Don’t blame the drys, they are the majority. And you believe in majority rule, let every voter come out April Ist and register a vote for God and home, for our boys and girls and for the progressive principles of good goverment. Adv. Judgement Reserved. The case of the Elkhart County Commissioners against the B. & ORy. was tried before the State Railway Commission last Thursday, at Indianapolis. The suit was instituted to compel the B. & O. Company to make physical connection here with the S. & M. Co. so that gravel from a pit along the S & M. line might be accessable to thA Commissioners. The case was

heard before Judges Woods and , Paine, Judge McClure being absent. Anthony Deahl appeared for the Elk- ' hart Commissioners and C. T. Wright of Fostoria, for the B. & 0., while W. D. Frazier was there to look to the in- ' terests of the S. &M. Judgement ’ was reserved pending the decision of the Inter-State Commission on a I case similar to this one. This de- , cision will probably reach the pubI lie in thirty days and the local matt ter will be settled according to the } opinion of the National Commis- \ sion.

Corn Wanted. —The Syracuse Flour Mills will buy your corn at the right kind of a price. S. & M. Wreck. Spread tracks on the S. & M. caused a derailment, Saturday. Workmen were employed Sunday and Monday in cleaning it up. The water covers the tracks in many places and it is thought to be highest in many years. S. L. Ketring returned from his trip through the south, Tuesday morning. Rev. 0. L Richart was called home from his pastorate near Bluffton to conduct the funeral of Mrs. Jacob Umbeohour.

PROBABLY STARI NEXT MONDAY Contract Closed Tuesday Will Take Months To Fill. G. W. Gilderman, Manager of the Gilderman Manufacturing and Foundry Co., returned from Moline, 111., Tuesday evening with a contract for $15,000.00 worth of work. It will take between three and four months of steady running to fill this ofder and Mr. Gilderman states that be can secure more work from the same source if hd has the capacity to handle it. If possible, it is his intention to start the plant on next Monday morning. H. E. Plumbeck, superintendent, went to Chicago, Thursday morning for a supply of belts and other needed articles. In conversation with the foundry officials Wednesday morning, they asserted that no outside labor will be employed as long as sufficient capable men can be obtained from Syracuse. This course is the hardest one for them as it will necssitate their breaking in of men who are more or less unfamiliar with the work, but the attitude is a commendable one and shows the proper town-helping spirit.

Mr. Rielly’s Opinion. —ln an interview, C. J. Rielly, superintendent of the local cement plant, expressed himself as in favor of the well-regulated licensed saloon in preference to the numerous places where poor whiskey can now be i bought. He said among other things, that it was much easier to keep men at the plant when the saloons were here than it has been since Syracuse was voted dry. The men now work until they have a little money ahead and then go to ■ some other place to spend it, often not returning at all. Mr. Rielly believes that could the men who will drink, step into a well-conducted i saloon and get a glass of pure, conditions would be far better than at present when a man must get a quart of cheap, adulterated goods and drink it all at one time. He also states that he does not approve of the community supporting a bunchof boot-leggers and poisoning those to whom they sell of their wares, and believes that if there were a couple of legitimate saloons that these boot-leggers could find more lucrative employment. Adv. 1 Painter and Paper Hanger. —Wm. Sheffield solicits your paper i hanging and painting. Work and } prices right.

Big Street Sale. —Those having horses and cattle to sell be sure to take them to the Big Street Sale at New Paris, Saturday, March 29th. For particulars see Fisher Brothers. Caught In Shaft. Carl Larson, while cleaning a pulley at the cement works, stooped and a projection from the shaft hit him on the ear partly tearing it from his head, Wednesday morning. Several stitches were required to sew up the wound. Pleasantly Entertained. Mrs. B F. Hoopingarner entertained the members of the Needlecraft Club Friday afternoon. The time was very pleasantly and profitably spent in “plying the needle with exquisite art” in various ways. That handsome and popular fancy in crochet known as “Palm Beach Itch,” was formally introduced to the club and was greatly admired. A dainty luncheon was served by the hostess and the Easter idea was carried out in the appointments. After a delightful social hour the club adjourned to meet at the residence of Mrs. H. W. Bucholz, Wednesday, March 26, at 2 o’clock p. m. —Mortgage exemptions—Butt & Xanders.
