The State Bank of Syracuse is making an effort to secure the banking business of this vicinity. The statement published in this issue will tell you better than anything we can say, about the condition of its finances. The Journal is proud of its country correspondents. The news is well written without exception and proves very interesting to Journal readers. ’ LIKELY TO BE DEFEATED. We are informed that the remonstrance recently filed by the cry forces will probably be defeated lot the reason that there are not enough legal signatures to fill the law’s requirements. The drys are making a great effort to secure enough additional signers to make it hold, but it is not thought probable that they will succeed before the next meeting of the coui.iy commissioners when the licenses will be granted.

The Milford Factory. The Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette gave considerable space in their Tuesday edition to the Maple City Manufacturing Co. of Milford. They give as their authority; a Milord attorney. It reems that the president and secretary, D M. Bechtel and Wm Deutschse, who live at Goshen, have not kept faith with the Milford investors and it is alleged that the company is badly in debt and that the above mentioned men are ahead about $3,000 on the deal.

DREAD “HOLE” ABOLISHED By Warden E. J. Fogarty of Michigan City Prison—Relic of Dark Ages Done Away With. Michigan City, April 11—A radical change has just been ordered in administering the disciplinary affairs of the Indiana state prison. The “hole has been abolished. This was the meat of the announcement made by E. J. Fogarty, warden of the prison, yesterday. “The board has consented to let me put Indiana ahead of any other like institution in the world, in one particular, at least,” said the warden, “and I am pleased to be able to do it” When asked what it was all about, the w-arden said: “We haven’t got any more ‘hole’ in this prison.” “What is meant by that?” “Simply this, we have done away with that barbarous thing with a soft name, usually called ‘the hole,’ otherwise ‘the solitary.’ We shall continue to have discipline, and excellent discipline, without this relic of the dark ages. “I know you wonder what we shall do with ‘bad men.’ The same question arose when the lash, the paddle and the cat-o’-nine-tails were abolished. Not a man has ben whipped here in fifteen years, yet this prison has a national reputation for its excellent discipline. Among convicts everywhere it is known as one of the strictest prisons in the matter of discipline. Look at our neighboring states where the lash is used—open defiance, riots, rebellion rampant and scandal galore.”
