They say that last year the corn husks were very dark, which indicated a hard winter. It came. This year we are to experience warm weather until November and there , will be no extremely cold days. At least that is what the prognostica- I tors say.

Defective Flues From May 15 to Sep. 1, a season when heating stoves and furnaces are not in use, there been in Indiana 178 fires and a resulting loss of $101,427, due to defective flues. This fact, based on figures tabulated in the office Os state fire marshal, emphasizes the necessity of a thorough inspection of all flues, before stoyes and furnaces are lighted for the winter season. And this inspection is one of the duties now being urged upon the people of Indiana as a part of Fire Prevention Day, Thursday, October 9. Should Be Improved The portion of Syracuse, situated south of the railroad tracks, could be made into one of the prettiest residence districts in town if it were rid of some of the debris laying along the streets and sidewalks built. A stroll through that district will disclose some nice residences that would show much nicer if a setting of neat sidewalks and better-kept streets were added. Assaulted Preacher Homer Smith, formerly of Syracuse and now living near Cromwell, objected to Rev. Smith coming to his mother’s home to read scripture. Homer got drunk and assaulted the preacher, breaking two ribs, fracturing his jaw and knocking a kidney loose. He is under SSOO bond. When Homer’s mother joined the Adventist church it made him mad. —Goshen Democrat. Accepts Better Position C. R. Smith, who has been emplyed by the B. & 0., at Defiance, Ohio, visited his father' C. V. Smith, and other relatives over Sunday.

REV. L E. EATON HETOMEB A Partial List Os The U. B. Assignments Given Below The sixty-ninth annual session of the St. Joseph conference closed Sunday evening with the last of the series of brilliant lectures by Prof. Honline, of New York City. At the morning meeting Bishop Fout preached the annual conference sermon and many were unable to get into the building. This is considered the best session of this conference in many years. The conference 1914 meets at Otterbein Ind. Following the morning services the stationing committee read the following list of appointments: Albion, J. W. Miller: -Atwood, F. D. Pugh: Ambia, J. D. Converstone: Bremen, W. P. Noble and Alice Noble: Bremen circuit, H. C. P. Pence: Brimfield, A. F. McCole: Burket, J. A. Farmer: Churubusco. W. N., Sherrill; Claypool, J. L. Ickis; Columbia City, W.

The union of the United Brethren and Methodist Protestant churches was voted upon favorably at this conference and it is beleived that the other conferences will also look upon this question with approval, and if this should be the case, the matter will be put up to the individual members. Took Revenge There was a disappointed crowd at the B. & 0. depot last Wednesday evening, when the' “shake” pulled in without Mr. and Mrs. Harry Culler on board. Revenge was secured Friday night, however, and after a short ride in a horseless buggy, Harry and his bride ordered a halt in front of the Quality drug store Earlier in the evening the “bellers” were waiting at the foot of the Masonic lodge room steps, only to find that the groom had, with the assistance of his lodge brothers and a rope, made his escape from a back window. He couldn’t escape his pursuers and was later found near his home and given the customary treatment. It seems to us that j the “bellers’’ are getting a little behind in their work. Who Knows Chas. Shock? S. L. Ketring received a telegram from Pueblo, Colo., Monday, asking for information as to the relatives of Chas. Shock, who had died there and whose body was in the hands of the United Undertaking Co. Inquiries were made in this vicinity but the only Chas. Shock known of, left here nineteen for Stanley, Wis. Three brothers are also at that place.

Auto Collission The Auburn roadster belonging to John Wingard was badly damaged Sunday afternoon, when hit by a Ford touring car owned by Paul Noe, of Ligonier. The Noe car was occupied by the owner and four companions: D. O. Bailey, O. G. Bowen, Ed Jackson, and Wilbur Ink; and was going about thirty miles an hour, headed west, when it smashed into the car owned by John Win gard who was accompanied by Harold Bowser and Glen Gordy. The collission occurred a short distance this side of Goshen at a crossroads. The Wingard* car was going north and the Noe car was coming from the east, a corn field separating the two cars from view, until too late to avoid coming together. In an effort to avoid the accident Mr. Wingard whirled his car sharply to the left and this strain on the wheels coupled with the force of the collission, caused them to give way, allowing the auto to turn completely over with its occupants underneath. The men in the other car were thrown out, but with the exception of a few bruises were unhurt, and they quickly assisted Messrs. Wingard, Bowser and Gordy from under the car. The only one receiving injury to amount toanything was Mr. Wingard, who is confined to his room by severe strains to his side and back. Mr. Wingard’s companions say they were not going over fifteen miles an hour and we can readily believe this as Mr. Wingard is a very careful driver. Both cars were considerably damaged. Barn Raising James Dewart, of Champion Fruit Farm, is having a new barn built. Darr brothers did the work and Raymond Vorhis, the cement work. The new structure is 30 x 40 with an annexed shed 14 x 30. The barnraising took place, Saturday. Those who assisted ware Maurice Feaster, Emeral. Jones, Bertram Whitehead, Chas "Pookstool, Earnest Mathew, Lloyd Lester and Samuel Dewart, and also Wes’ Mills of New Paris. Mesdames Rookstool, Mathew, and Ruth Roop helped Mrs, Dewart to serve a sumptuous dinner. Very good time was made at the raising. The timbers went together like clock-work and fitted perfectly.

38 YEARS AGO. Taken From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os 38 Years Ago. 1 ? Intelligent wheatbuyers in Minnesota, estimate that that state will have, this year, a surplus of 25,000, 000 bushels of wheat over and above what will be needed for home consumption. Dr. Church of Locke, was in town one day last week. Franklin Juday, of Benton, called on Friday and left $2 on subscrip tion. We are under obligations to Master Warren Kelley, for a lot of new grapes. Messrs Ray & Bell had a fine steer killed by a train on the B. & O. railroad the other day. Miss Aimed a and Sarah Ott, daughters of Jacob Ott, of this place are visiting friends in Ohio. A little child of Alloway Ott of this county, was buried at Solomon s Creek cemetery on Friday. Aged one year. Jeff Davis is delivering addresses before county agricultural societies in Missouri. He goes thence to Colorado. Ed A. Ketring has the thanks of the Enterprise office for a fine large watermellon—the largest and best one we have seen this season. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Clay Kyler, of Pecria, 111., accompanied by Miss Mary J. and Fannie Kyler of Benton, on Saturday. The dwelling of Samuel T. Evey, in Ketring’s addition near the railroad, is up, and workmen will soon have it enclosed and ready for occupancy. Ed. Norr and lady, of Auburn, were spending several days in Syracuse, last week. The Doctor contemplates faking up his residence here as soon as a house can be secured. Mr. A. C. Brower, the enterprising proprietor of the well known Brower’s saw mill, when in town on Saturday, gave us a call and paid one dollar on subscription to the Enterprise and gave us an order for job work. Workmen have been engaged in putting the approaches to the bridge on Huntington street in a passable condition, so that when the elevators are open for the receipt of grain, our farmer friends will find a good road leading to it. We are pleased to learn that our esteemed friend. Mr. Graham has been elected as principal of the Milford school by the trustee of that township. We congratulate the people, of Milford on their success in securing so thouroughly competent and experienced a teacher as we know Mr. Graham, to be. We believe he commenced teaching Monday. Burglary—On Monday night of this week, burglars effected an entrance into the jewelry store of Miles & Holloway, in which the post office is also located, and took therefrom about thirty pocket knives belonging to the establishment, a meershaum pipe belonging to Mr. Harry Cook, and two or three dollars in change from the post office. They effected an entrance by prying a window at the rear of the building. The human skull which was unearthed near town and which we had in our office on Saturday, was viewed by many of our citizens, and much speculation was indulged in as to what was its condition in life—whether it had been a man or a woman, etc Dick Dormire ventured the suggestion that, ( from the great lenth of its “jaw,” it had belonged to a woman, for which we think he deserves to be “interviewed” by a committee of old maids. We ledrn that a heart—rendering affair occured over in Elkhart county on last Tuesday, we believe, near

Wakarusa. The barn of Mr. George Berkey took fire from a threshing machine and was entirely and with it was burned a son of Mr. Berkev aged about 12 or 14 years. The boy was in the mow at the time, and could not make his escape before he was overcome by the flames in which he perished. The charred remains were buried on the following day.
