BURGLARS ENTER BUSINESS ROOMS Take Advantage of Absence of Lights and Night Watchmen Syracuse, policeless and lightless, was the yictim of two theives, Monday evening, who entered the E. V/. Hire meat market, Kindig grocery store and Mrs. Winsor’s restaurant. At the E. W. Hire place entrance was gained through the window on Main street. About $1.50 was taken there. At Kindig’s the robbers went through the screen in the transom over the front door, here they secured approximately $6 00 in money, apparently consumed a little cheese and some peaches. They were undoubtly scared away from the restaurant before securing anything. Mrs. Winsor, who sleeps in the rear of the restaurant, was aroused about 1:30 by a noise at the front door. Apparently they were very familiar with the place, because the cash drawer is one of eight drawers in the cupboard back of the counter, they seemed to have no difficulty in locating the right one. During this time, Mrs. Winsor had risen from bed and upon hearing one ask the other for a match, she slipped from the back door and screamed for help. Before any one came to her assistance, the thieves had escaped, and while numerous conjectures are rife, no material clue has been foumj. It was afterwards learned that the bars used to gain entrance to the stores were stolen from the B. & 0. pump house. U. B. Church Beginning at 5 o’clock next Saturday evening, the ladies of the LLK Church will serve a supper in The new store building of George Colwell, on South Huntington street. The menu consisting of buns and pressed chicken, potatoe salid, baked beans, pickels, coffee, ice lea and cake. In connection with and following the supper ice cream will be served.

Record-Breaker Mrs. Frederick Boland qf the Lake View Hotel, reports last week as a record breaker. Among the guests were Mayor Grice and family of Ft. Wayne and H. C. Venderwood of the same city. Will Be Married This Month The marriage of Miss Lulu Doering,daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Doering, of Goshen, formerly of Nappanee, to Ernest Rowe, of Elkhart, has been announced for the latter part of July. Unusual Cause of Fire The most unusual cause of fire that has yet been reported to the state fire, marshal came from Ingalls, Ind. The fire reported was in a barn belonging to Davy Thomas and the cause given as “Boy with matches trying to fry a frog ” Ell wood George Wins There were five entries in the motor boat race at Wawasee, last Friday. The time was 17 minutes and 18 seconds over a 6% mile course or an average of about 22% miles an hour: very good time considering the choppy sea that prevailed. Ellwood George finished first, L. T. Heerman, second and Hershell Harkless, third. S’lKLfc WA6M ONAUAGKEB This Time the Rubber Feeder Pipes Are Slashed to Pieces A week ago Sunday 29 holes were bored in the sides of the sprinkling wagon, which had to be repaired by Mr. Cripe before he could do tljie customary sprinkling on the following Monday. Last Sunday some one slashed the big rubber hose that leads from the tank to the sprinkling apparatus, and Mr. Cripe was compelled to go to South Bend for new hose. There is one of three things evident: Some person has either a decided aversion to the water wagon, dislikes the owner, John I. Riddle, or has a grievance against the driver, Mose Cripe. Just what the motive of the guilty parties is can not. of course, be discovered until the culprits are brought to justice, but it is obvious that these acts of vandalism are putting a bad complexion on a matter sufficiently disfigured as it is.

RILEY'S POEMS ARE MADE REAL IR. Barkley, Crayon Artist, Is Apt Illustrator. J ALSO EXPERT CLAY MODELER Has Often Caused Merriment by Sketching the Face of Some Unsuspecting Party in the Audience. r There will be at least one entertainment at the coming Chautauqua which even a deaf and dumb man can enjoy, and that will be the hour alloted to James R. Barkley, the crayon artist and clay modeler. There is something about pictures that facinates the ordinary man cr woman, especially when the evolution of the picture can be watched from the first stroke of the crayon, clear through to the. completion. All of Mr. Barkley’s work is done right »before the eyes of the audience, and his quaint and humorous remarks while the work is progressing, help to keep the audience in a happy frame of mind. Sometimes a picture calls for a song, and as some favorite melody is being sung, the artist rapidjy illustrates the lines. . Perhaps the phase of Mr. Barkley’s work.-is the illustrating of the heart touching verses of James Whitcomb Riley. Taking his crayon in hand he will begin/ to lecite “When the Trost is in the 'Pumpkin, Fodder’s 'in the Shock” at the same time reproducing a ' country house with the field of shocked corn and pumpkins, true to the werds of the poeifr in every detail. Following this may be~a picture that will cause the audience to roar with laughter, and then a picture that will leave scarcely a dry eye. For many years, Mr. Barkleylhas been entertaining thousands in nearly every state, i• JAMES R BARKLEY. and he has come close to the hearts of the common people. He knows their needs, their lives, and his programs leave a lasting impression for good. The clay modeling is a feature of the program that causes many to wonder at the realistic appearance of the faces and figures sculptured in the clay. CIRCUIT CHAUTAUQUAS About three times Ss many circuit Chautauquas will be held in 1913 as were held in 1912. The number of independent or “old line” Chautauquas grows less each year, and will soon be found only in ancient history. The wonderful growth of the “Circuit” plan demonstrates the superiority of modern business methods, along with community co-operation. The highest type of business organization is to be found in the management of these “systems” or corporations, coupled with years of experience, as over against the slip-shod methods, and often muleish stupidity of individual members of the committees, appointed promiscuously or by chance finding a place in the management of the Independent Chautauqua. The Independent, from the conditions surrounding its birth was “born to die,” while the circuits are laying down foundations which seem to insure, if not a perpetual youth, at least a ripe old age. RIGHT CHAUTAUQUA IDEA The “Lincoln” are distinctive among “Circuit” assemblies. They have a purpose and that purpose is kept in the lime-light. They are co-operative and profit-sharing. The $20,000 authorized capital stock is owned and controlled by the local Chautauqua assemblies, and the board of directors are elected from and represent the Chautauqua towns themselves. Can you imagine a more practical or common-sense arrangement for carrying out the Chautauqua idea?

HOG CHOLERA AND • HOW TO PREVENT IT [By Dr. G. O. Smith] The season is here for this dreaded disease, and to give some light as to how to lessen the enormous loss to the farmers and stock raisers, I give below a short sketch and treatment of the same: Cause.—To begin with, hog cholera is an infectious disease of swine, in which the lymphatic glands, intestines, lungs, kidneys and liver are commonly effected. An organism or germ gains entrance into the body, after which they are present in the excretions, secretions and tissues. Through these excretions the germs may be carried on the shoes of man, or bv dog, or birds to healthy herds thereby spreading the disease. Symptoms.—The Symptoms vary slightly, as cholera is in two forms, acute and chronic. Acute form only lasts from a few hours to a day or two, while the chronic form may extend over a period of several weeks. These forms depend upon hogs’ susceptibility and resisting powers. The hog will probably be noticed being stupid and inclined to lay quietly in some isolated place, re fusing feed and possibly water, though generally driking liberally at first. Bowels may be constipated or have extreme diarrhea, the smell being very offensive. Constipation being due to fever and their inclination to eat dirt. Vomiting, stiffness and soreness are also manifested. The skin in the region of the ears and over the under surface of the body and inside of the thighs is moist, or red color, finally red or purple spots appears. Treatment—The treatment formerly was of no avail, but more recently the treatment is more successful. While the more advanced way is to vaccinate the hogs before they are exposed to cholera. This mode of treatment at first was not entirely successful, as the potency of the serum was not up to the standard and preperly ejected. Now the method used Ts satisfactory, and if used properly cannot result disasteroMisly. Home care and good management might be mentioned in the following words: Clean quarters, clean _and- -w and through the hoi season disinfectants antbig: testinal antiseptics cannot be over done. The natural tendency of the owner, when he finds a sick hog, is to try and induce him to eat. This is wrong. Feed should be shut oft entirely and nothing but pure cold water given. The farmers loss from hog chol era far exceeds any other loss. In our state in the year 1911 the loss in dollars amounted to $2,500,000; 1912, $3,000,000 and from the prevalence of the disease now and the way it is scattered over the state the veterinarian in charge of hog choleia predicts an annual loss of $5,000,000. The states are taking up the question, also the federal government, for they foresee one point which may be an important feature in reducing the high cost of meat. SMALL POX CASES NEAR_SYRAGUSE County Health Officer Quarantines Two Families Last Sunday What at first was thought to be chicken pox by the attending physician, has proved to be small-pox, and the people of Syracuse and vicinity have been generally exposed. The disease was presumably brought to Syracuse by Mr. and Mrs. Mart Garrisson and Wm. Garrisson, who came here from Gas City J several weeks ago, and who stayed at the James Burson home for some time. The disease in mild form attacked several in the vicinity of these people, about two miles south of here, but the attack was so light that it was set down as chicken pox. James Burson seemed to be worse off than the other victims, and Dr. L. W. FdM, who was in attendance, called Dr. Hines, county health officer, who pronounced Burson as the worst case of small-pox he had ever seen. He immediately quarantined the Garrisson and Burson homes. Some of the affected people have been on the streets at various times, and persons in Syracuse have been generally exposed, though very little fear is felt by most people as the cases, with the exception of one, have all been light, differing little from chicken pox. Small-pox is not the dread dis ease that it formerly was and no apprehehsion need be felt by our citizens.

NEW ZEALAND SENDSLECTDRER Chas. H, Poole, Leader of Parliament, Will Be Here. WAS VERY POPULAR LAST YEAR Noted Statesman, Just Returned from European Lecture Tour, Will Be a Speaker at the Coming Chautauqua. There is no end to the effort which the modern Chautauqua manager will make to secure talent that will draw crowds. Many people marvel at the fact that Bryan is paid three hundred dollars for a single speech or that some great musician or singer commands a price per week reaching into the thousands. Chautauqua audiences want the best that is to be secured, and it was that knowledge which led the management of the Lincoln Chautauqua System to send clear across the Pacific a year ago and bring HonChas. H. Poole from his New Zealand home to this country to fill two hundred Chautauqua lecture engagements. The outcome proved that the move had been a wise one. Mr. Poole’s lectures were something new, original, and dealt with live subjects. People flocked to hear him and he was by far the most popular lecturer on the course. He lectured in only a few towns outside of Illinois, and his return to those few towns will be hailed with jby. In one of these towns lasi summer the superintendent of schools said Poole’s- night address was worth a thousand dollars to their, city. The fame of this speaker was not confined to America alone, and last fall Canada and England sent requests to him to come there and lecture. As a result, Mr. Poole has spent most of the past winter in Europe and has just recently returned for his summer’s work here. Mr. Poole, is one of the keenest statesmen ever appearing on an AmerfcL it. • • " A 1- ■ "■ .' ... - HON. CHARLES H. POOLE. lean platform. Born in Ireland, and gifted with real Irish wit, for six years past the leader of the New Zealand parliament, representing in that body one of the largest and most important city districts of that Dominion, he comes to America with a wonderful message. New Zealand is indeed a progressive country. Many of our recently acquired reforms, such as postal savings banks, parcels post, etc., have been in effect in New Zealand for years. In addition they have woman suffrage, single tax, ond age pensions, workingmen’s insurance, prohibition, government ownership of railroads, telegraph, etc. Mr. Poole has helped to frame these laws, his experience has been gained first hand, and he tells his audiences how such reforms actually work. In addition to this, he shows many fine stereopticon views of New Zealand, one of the most beautiful countries on earth. These slides are furnished by government and are the in existence. Mr. Poole is a fluent speaker and uses excellent English, so that his messages can be understood by all.

SYDNEY SMITH'S HUMOR. It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. That knuckle end of England, that land of Calvifl, oat cakes and sulphur. No one minds what Jeffreys says. * • • It is no more than a week ago that I heard him speak disrespectfully of the equator. The Smiths never hdd any arms and have invariably sealed their letters with their thumbs. Daniel Webster struck me much like a steam engine in trousers.

How Many? How many in Syracuse remember the good old days when the Rentfrows, Otts, Gilberts, Neffs, Lindermens, Kenchbergers, Snavleys, Bradys, Corys and ‘MaKanes were located north and northwest of Syracuse? When the Indians would pass through from the Strieby settlement to Elkhart and Laporte? When the deer and wolves were more plentiful than the sheep now are? When the wild turkey, pheasants and squirrels were a great deal more plentiful than the tame turkeys and chickens now are? When the worth of a faim was rated by the number of acres that were cleared, ready for farming? When the people went to church in wagons and some times drawn by oxen? When the young people went to town and church on horseback—there were no buggies then? When nearly every family lived in a log house, did their cooking

News-Times Omission The article in the “38 Years Ago’’ column, referring to the misdeeds of a Rev. Coates of the Church of God, was clipped out by the office boy of the Goshen News-Times, week before last, and inserted in the news columns of that paper without the knowledge of the editor. To the readers of that paper it appeared to be an account of a recent happening and has caused some embarrassment to the present excellent minis ter, Rev. Eshelman and his congregation.
