Drowned in Webster Lake George L. Mignery, 40,ofStrycker» 0., drowned in Webster Lake last week when he fell out of the big lake launch when about 60 feet from the shore. He did not come to the surface again in spite of the fact that the water was only about 7 feet deep. His body was recovered an hour later in front of the Yellow Banks hotel. Mr. Mignery was unmarried and had been at the resort several weeks visit’ng his sister, Mrs. Ringenburg. Took On Martial Aspect The Black Horse Troop of Culver Acadamy invaded our little city, Monday morning, on their way to the Wawasee Inn for a few days stay. The boys dismounted opposite the Post Office and invaded Hie restaurants and resumed their march after a short stop. The town took on a martial aspect during the brief stay of the troopers. Fire Near Millersburg Fire started by lightning Friday morning burned the barn on the John Zollinger' farm one mile west of Millersburg. The building was filled with hay and grain and the loss will amount to $1,200, partly covered by insurance. Card Os Thanks —We wish to thank the K. of P.

Extra Votes—Fourth Period During the fourth period, which extends from the close oi business Saturday night, August 16th to the close of business Saturday night, August 23rd, we will give 5,000 extra votes with each dollar paid on subscriptions. This is in addition to the votes given by the regular schedule. x If you pay during this period you do so with the knowledge that you have lost your favorite at least 5,000 votes by not paying during the first period, and if you delay any longer you will lose her more votes. Dont you think you had better pay during this period so as not to lose any more votes?

15000 Bonus Votes From the date of this paper until the close of business on Satturday night, August 23, we will give besides the votes from the regular schedule and the extra votes, 15,000 bonus votes for every club of five new subscribers. A club of five new subscribers turned in before; next Saturday night would draw the following votes: From the regular schedule, 15,000; extra votes 30,000; bonus votes 15,000; total 60,000. All new subcriptioos turned in since the contest started will count on a club. This is positively the biggest offer we will make for new subscription so can-, didates who get busy during thisi period will get the highest votes! .possible. Nothing less than five, will count. If a candidate were to secure fourteen new subscriptions she would receive bonus votes on the two clubs but nothing but the regular and extra votes on the remaining four. The coming ten days will be our new subscription period and during this time new subscriptions will draw the highest votes. This candidate who gets busy during this period and turns in the greatest number of clubs will undoubtedly, win one of the trips. On a former contest, in a town smallar than Syracuse we had a candidate who turned in five clubs of new subscriptions, These clubs put her so far in the lead that it, was impossible for the other can-' didates to overtake her. She told us that she realized that she must get busy as soon as she read the offer, that she would either, win or lose on her showing during this period. She said her intentions were to try and secure one club of five at first, but that she became encouraged to greater efforts by the time she secured the first five and she kept on until she had secured five clubs. What that young lady accomplished any one of the candidates in the present contest can accomplish. Candidates need not hold their subscription until they secure five new subscriptions. but can turn them into the office as soon as received, if they care to, and they will be given credit. And right here we want to drive home the fact that the time is

limited and but a little over three weeks remain of the contest, because there will be no extension of the time, it will positively close on September the 6th. There are still hundreds of dollars due the Journal on back subscription and there are still hundreds who do not take the paper, each one of whom if properly seen could be secured as a new subscriber. We believe that every dollar on back subscriptions is good and Can be secured by the candidate if the parties are seen. Last Monday we talked to five different parties who told us they had not been solicited. Help your favorite secure a club of five new subscriptions. The change of an address from one member of a houshold to another member will not constitute a new subscription. On a former contest the friends of one of the candidates pledged themselves to help her secure at least one new subscription, and as a result she turned in 28 new subscriptions, and it is needless to say she won the big trip. A party told the contest manager this week that he had heard three different people say in the last week that they were goinp to subscribe for the Journal. Not one of these have been turned in by any candidate. The candidates certainly commenced last wdek to work in earnest. Each has a legion of friends who are beginning to take as much interest in their candidancy as they are themselves, and in one instance we believe that the candidate’s friends are putting fourth more ' efforts than the candidate herself. One lady told us the other day that she was getting so interested in one of the cendidates that she could hardly think of any thing else. She said she had secured one subscription for her favorite, but this week she expected to secure at least three or four. Such aid to a candidate is certainly a great help. Finds Pearl Miss Inez McNees, who is staying at Buttermilk Point, found what is thought to be a valuable pearl in a clam shell, which she picked out of the water.

38 YEARS AGO. Taken From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os 38 Years Ago. Phil Bowyer has gone to Ohio. The circus will be here to-morrow. Rattlesnakes are getting numerous in Elkhart county/ - We hope to see our town incorporated at no distant day. Widner & J\cker have dissolved partnership, the latter retiring. Mr. Eli Holloway has been quite ill for sometime with flux,- we believe. Al. Acker and George Miles, alias “B. F.,” left one dav this week for Michigan. We were pleased to meet, in our office, one day ’ last week, our old friends, Swegler Young and Thos. Longrace, of Benton. We are sorry to learn of the sickness of Mr. John A. Ketring. of the firm of S. L. Ketring, & Co. He has been confined to his bed for a week or more, A thrashing .machine belonging to Levi Gyer, was destroyed by fire on Monday. last, including about 50 bushels of wheat belonging to Lowis Whitehead, who lives near Milford. Morgan Snyder, an experienced carriage maker, has fitted up a shop on North Harrison street directly opposite the new school house. We understand that Messrs. Bowld & Roberts have made arrangements to enter business at Garrett City, and will have a meat market running there soon. Owing to unfavorable weather and other causes, the brick work on Ketring & Guy’s building wa§ not completed as soon as was supposed, but it is now about finished. It is a splendid building and the front presents affine appearance. Francis M. Corn has commenced work upon his new building in Ketring’s addition to Syracuse. It is to be 16x26, story and a half with an L, the dimensions of which we did not learn. When finished.it will be quite an addition to the improvements of our town. Let others go and do likewise. From every'quarter we are hearing of large yields of wheat, where farmers have thrashed the new crop. Mr. John Miles recently thrashed for Mr. Carpenter, one hundred aud fifty dozen sheaves of wheat raised a short distance from town; which yielded 180 bushels, machine measure. Who can beat it? We understand that the assessments upon the land benefited by the proposed draining of lands bordering upon Solomon’s Creek, are considered pretty heavey by some of the owners of said land. A company has been organized under the law of the state, known as the “Solomon’s Draining Association” who propose to ditch the creek so as to drain what is known as the “Big Marsh,” Since Mr. Nathaniel Crow has taken possession of the flouring mill at this place, the time has been put in in cleaning up and repairing the mill and getting it in thorough running order.

The elevators at this place erected by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company are fast approaching completion. A grand-daughter of Mrs. Richcreek’s, living in Jefferson township, was buried on Monday.

Remonstrance Circulating A new petition for a local option election is now in cirulation in Warsaw and it is understood that the temperance workers are prepar ing to circulate a remonstrance against the sale of liquor. The ”wets“ recetly filed a petition which was held illegal by the commissioners because each precinct was represented by a petition and the six were considered seperately as they were not attatched. The saloon men will need 229 signatures to secure an election and the “drys” will have to have 572 names to make a remonstrance effective. It is probable that both papers will be filed and acted upon by the county com-, missioners at their regular meeting on Monday, September 1. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ott and son, Mrs. John Young, and Mrs. David Winebrenner of Noble county, attended the funeral of David Ott, last week.
