Flies cannot Stand extreme cold. By gathering them up each night and wrapping them in cracked ice you will soon get them so rheumatic that they cannot fly about and bother you.

Some Big Fish. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Baer recieved a letter from their son, Leßoy, who lives at St. Andrews, Fla., containing many interesing facts pertaining to Florida. He tells of the birds there that sing after night-fall and says that their April weather is similar to the kind we northerners have in June. He says, “the largest fish that I have caught I got three weeks ago; three of them weighed 127 pounds, the largest being 46 3-4 pounds. They are called “warsaus” and get to weigh 200 pounds. They are shaped like bass but are not very good food, their meat is strong. I have been working on a job for the U. S. Navy Dept, as they have a number of boats here in the bay. I just completed installing a 60-horse power Buffalo 4-cycle motor in one of their boats which was 45 feet by 9.” : . The Titanic Anniversary. One year ago last Tuesday morning the White Star liner Titanic struck the iceberg which resulted in the vessel going to the bottom four hours later with 1,503 persons. Tuesday was the last day that claims could be filed against the steamship company. Since Feb ruary 11th, ninty-nine claims have been filed amounting to over $12,000,000. The largest claim asked is for $510,000 for the death of Clarence Moore, a broker of Washington, D. C. Conscience Bothered Him. About twenty-three years ago when E. W. Hire conducted the meat market now owned by Daniel Klink, a man left town owing him a meat bill of $1.25. Last week Mr. Hire recieved a letter from this man, who is now located in Los Angeles, California, enclosing $2,00. He remarked in the letter that he had forgotten the amount of the bill but thought it was about the sum he owed. Operated on at Elkhart. Miss Pearl Kitson of Syracuse underwent an operation on her nose at Elkhart. Enroute home she becameJll and was taken to a farm house. Her relatives were summoned. Later she was able to proceed.—Goshen Democrat. Took 32nd Degree. Barney Duehr went to Ft. Wayne last week where he took twentyeight degrees in Masonry. He is now a 32nd degree Mason. C. J. Weaver of Defiance, Ohio, spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday with Syracuse friends.

THE LAKE SEASON liIILUOON OPEN If Agreeable Weather Continue, Season Will Be a Record- B reaker. Present conditions tend to indicate a good season for the lake. The cool summer last season held business there a little in abeyance, but from the present outlook and from predictions of the weather experts, Wawasee Lake will have a larger summer population than ever in her history. Brunjes Park will be formally opened next Saturday by a chicken dinner and Mr. Brunjes informs us that on and after that date he will be ready to serve all who come. Paul Goodale, who recently purchased the Lakeside Grocery is open and ready for business now. Mrs. Frederick Boland and family is expected at any time, as it is her intention to open Lake View Hotel by the first of April. The Diiton Hotel has been housing guests for , the past several weeks and Mr. Dittoa's summer business is under way . The hotel and store at Vawter Park have been open for some time also and are finding business better every day. The Wawasee Inn on the other side of the lake will probably open its doors to guests sometime between the middle of May and the first of June. Contemplated improvements make the exact date rather uncertain. The opening date of Jones Hotel is also rather uncertain. Extensive repairs are being made to the building and it will probably be late in May before its doors will be thrown open to the public. The season at Oakwood Park will not rightly open, of course, until the assembly starts, but owners of summer homes there, will soon occupy them if the weather continues to be agreeable. When A Child Is Seven. Jn the opinion to Charles A. Great - house, state superintendent of pub - lie instruction Attorney General Homan asserts that the new . truancy law passed by the recent legislature, provides that children shall attend school after the day before the seventh anniversary of their birth and until the day before the fourteenth anniversary of their birth. In case the child is not employed between the latter date and its sixteenth birthday it must be in school under the new law. Obituary Mrs. Eliza S.

He will retain only enough furniture here to furnish two rooms at the Holton House, which will be his stopping place when*in Syracuse.

Mich., last Thursday afternoon at two o’clock. He met Miss Rusch at Milford Junction last Thursday and together they proceeded to the above named Michigan town and were united in marriage. They returned to South Bend the same evening and came back to Syracuse, Saturday. The bride is a daughter of Rhinehart Rusch of Milfod and is a popular and well liked young lady. The groom is well and favorably known here, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sol Lung: and employed as night man at the B. & O. depot. The new Mr. and Mrs. Lung will occupy his father’s house this summer while the latter will move to the Galloway farm southeast of Cromwell. Engagement Announced.

Snyder formed a house party that spent Saturday and Sunday at the Xanders cottage at Lake Wawasee. Just before the guests returned home, the engagement of Miss Bittman and Mr. Xanders was announced. Both are well liked and accomplished young people and deserve the congratulations heaped upon them. No definite date has been set for the wedding, but it will probably take place some time in August. Farmers Happy. This kind of weather pleases the farmers. Oats sowing is going on with a rush, many farmers having already finished. We are informed that the wheat through this section of the country is looking extraordinarily good and should the weather continue tractable, a record-break-ing crop may be had. 38 YEARS AGO. Jaken From Of The Syracuse Enterprise Os The ground was frozen hard, on the surface, on the night of the 16th. Mr. Marion Angle is erecting a neat frame dwelling in Ketring’s addition to Syracuse. Miss Fanny McCloud of Milford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McCloud, died recently at the age of about 22 years. We had a regular January storm on Friday and Saturday of last week. On Sunday the snow was perhaps three inches in depth. We, believe the German Baptist better known as “Dunkards,” have at last conluded to build a church in this place this season. The water in the lake is gradually rising, and we beleive the flouring mill at this place is now run to its full capacity by water power alone. The frame dwelling of Dr. D. C. Kelley, south of Main street, is roofed and enclosed, and will no doubt soon be completed and ready for the occupants. We understand that father Duehman, catholic, had a respectable audience at the school house on Friday night of last week. We found it impossible from pressing duties to be present. An election was held in Warsaw, on Monday to determin whether that town should incorporate as a city, which resulted in favor of a city government by a majority of seventy eight. There has been some talk of placing a small steam boat upon the lake here for the use of pleasure parties who visit us and who usual# spend several days, if not weeks in the enjoyment of the beautiful lake scenery. Mr. John Whetten and Wm: Banford of Milford, were in town on Thursday last, and while here gave us a short call. They are leading citizens of that enterprising town, and were here to view the proposed road mentioned in our last week’s edition. Struck by lightning.—We understand that during the thunder storm of Monday night, the barn of Mr. James McCloud, in Jackson township, Elkhart county, was struck by lighting and before anything could be got out but the horses, was completely enveloped by flames. In addition to the barn, large quanity of grain, several buggies, wagons, faim implements, &c., were consumed in the flames.

Thanks Richmond for Help. Richmond. — Mayor W. W. Zimmerman received a letter from John H. Patterson, president of the National Cash Register company of Dayton, thanking the people of Richmond for the assistance given the survivors of the Dayton flood. In part the letter reads: “Our city is passing through a dark period in its history, yet we are not dismayed; the words of cheer, encouragement and kindly sympathy we have received from our sister cities throughout the length and breadth of the land larg * and small alike, have lightened the gloom that surrounded us and given us strength to enter confidently on our work of building a bigger, better and grander Dayton.
