Lakes To Be Seined Roy Thompson and Ted Carroll, of Fort Atkinson, Wis., have contracted with the Indiana game commissioner to rid several lakes of northern Indiana of carp, buflalo, gar and dogfish. They have a net 2,500 yards long and take as many as two tons of fish at a single haul. They take only the fish mentioned, and the game fish are all released from the net unhurt, before reachingshore, with dip nets. They charge nothing for their services, but sell the obnoxious fish for a good price Jn New York. These “dogfishermen” claim to have rid many lakes of Wisconsin of all obnoxious fish. We’re Hearing More Echoes of the Chattanooga trip are'still reaching our ears. The latest one relates to Henry Tully, who lost his ticket at Stone River Cemetery and nearly had to walk home. We are told by members of the party that if it had not been for Mr. Tully’s daughter, the rest of the Syracuse contingent would have had to spend all their time keeping track of him, as. he persisted in getting lost. We are told that Mr. Tully’s faculty for getting lost is equaled only by Fred Hinderer’s ability to see coons flying above the tree tops. Epworth League The Epworth League of the M. E. Church will have it’s opening session of the fall in a song service at 7:30 next Sunday evening. Sketches of Isaac Watts, the father of modern hymnology, Chas. Wesley, the great Methodist hymnist and Fannie Crosby, the blind singer, will be followed by songs of their composition. Every Epworth Leaguer is expected and the public invited. New Speed Boat An Indianapolis party has shipped a 40 foot speed boat to the Wawasee Marine Supply Co. for storage for the winter. The engine room was locked when it arrived and it was impossible to ascertain the size of the power plant, but the hull is built on very speedy lines. —For Sale—Splendid, No. 1 hard coal stove.

LECTURE COURSE WELL SELECTED Redpath Lyceum Bureau to Fur nish Talent in Four Select Numbers. The Lecture Course Committee of the Ladies’ Aid Society have secured talent for the lecture course from the Redpath Lyceum Bureau. The first number will be a lecture, November 24, by Dr. E. W. Huelster, who has won for himself a distinguished place on the lecture platform. He has a fine personality, good voice and charming manner. His lectures command the best thought of the community, are spiced with clean humor and are effectively delivered. The Second number, also a lecture, will be given December 19, by James Graves Whiting. A delightfully entertaining talker. He happily blends the graces of force, • fluency, wit, pathos and logic. The public will be gratified with what he presents to it. The third number, The Emily Waterman Concert Company, will appear January 28. This company consists of Miss Emily Waterman, reader; Miss Lillian Whitman, pianist, and Mr. Raymond Mav, soloist. Miss Waterman during the season of 1911 and 1912 appeared as the reader with the Four Artists, which was one of the best and highest priced companies under Redpath management. She was so successful with this company that in 1912 it was decided that she should be the star of her own company. Miss Lillian Whitman, who received her musical education at the famous Oberlin Conservatory, will render piano solos and play the accompaniments in the Waterman Company. Mr. May has been soloist in the Edgewater Presbyterian Church, Chicago, and has appeared in solo work in musical circles in New York City. The fourth and last number, February 7, The Regimental Quartet; Chas. H- Nicholas, Ist tenor, French horn and impersonator; Earl Vir Den, 2nd tenor and cornet; C. A. Risser, baritone, pianist and slide trombone; Goodrich Henke, bass and euphonium. The Regimental Quartet not only sings, but also plays musical instruments and presents sketches in special costume. The company takes its name from the beautiful sketch which concludes the program called “Soldier Life.” Season tickets will be on sale soon at the usual price: Adults, $1.00; children under fourteen years of age, 75 cents; reserved seats, 10 cents extra; single admission tickets, 35 cents. New Franchise In Effect The Syracuse Electric Light & Power Company’s new franchise went into effect Wednesday of this week. The most material change from the old franchise is the 50c minimum rate. In the future lights will cost at least SIOO a month in business houses and 50c in residences. Heretofore some have only burned 10c and 15c worth of current a month in their homes and this is all they have paid but in the future it will cost 50c a month at the least. The city will pay for 26 arc lamps at $55 each and as fast as the arcs lamps are worn out they will be replaced by mazda lamps, four mazdas equal one arc light. Avoid The Bronchial Coughs Os Early Fall —The changeable weather of early fall brings on bronchitis and a hard cough that is wearing on the system, and seems to tear open the bronchial tubes and mucus lining of the throat. Use Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound promptly. For it will soothe and heal the inflamed mucus lining, releive the cough quickly, and help to expel the cold. It contains no opiates. Get the genuine in the yellow package, and refuse substitutes. F. L. Hoch. ■—Send the children to the Quality for pencils, tablets, etc.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1913

Mistaken For Bandits Dr. D. S. Hontz was present at the three day’s meeting of the State Dental Society held at Gary last week and tells of a funny incident that occurred. Among the many features of the meeting was an automobile trip to Hammond. Returning about dusk along a desolate read, a blow-out occurred to one machme and the occupants seeing another car approaching took the tail light from their machine and waved for the oncoming car to stop. As it happened, the spot where they i stood had been the scene of a holdup the week before, and as soon as the flagged car came to a standstill, the passengers alighted and threw up their hands, expecting to be relieved of their valuables. You can imagine their relief when the situation was made clear. Miss Lentz Taken Home Miss Helene Lentz was taken to her home in Milford the first of the week, from the Goshen hospital 1 . wherein she had been confined ever since the automobile accident which < resulted fatally for her girl com- 1 panion. i Enormous Attendance It is estimated that between i 15,000 and 18,000 people attended 1 the Kendallville fair Thursday. About 1,200 automobiles were on ; the grounds. Between Seasons The lake hotels are very quiet right now. The Lake View has dosed for the season and the others find it very quiet until the fishing season opens. Fine Peaches Wm. Jones has sold some fine peaches this season. They were selected trees and the fruit weighed from eight to* ten ounces. He disposed of 39 bushels. Election of Trustees There will be a meeting at the Church of God on Saturday evening, October 4, at which time there will be two trustees elected. Meeting Postponed The Wednesday afternoon Club was scheduled to meet with Mrs. J. H. Miller, Wednesday afternoon, but it has been postponed until Friday • This paper now has the largest circulation in Kosciusko county, outside of Warsaw. Calls on Former Syracuse People N. P. Hoffman has received a letter from J. Whiting, who is in Montana, stating that he was going to call on Sherman Locke and Jesse Miller, who are now located about 60 miles west of Havre, Montana. He says that these two gentlemen have been offered $3,000 for 160 acres of their land, but refused to sell. Accident at Lake Wawasee Wesley Secrist met with a very painful and narrowly escaped a fatal accident at the home of his brother-in-law, John Dull, at Lake Wawasee. He had been helping Mr. Dull thresh clover seed and just at dark was driving into the barn with a load of seed. A low telephone rack caught on the standard of the hayrack throwing it back with great force on his head, inflicting several deep gashes. A large number attended the fun--1 eral of Frank B. Mann held last Fri--1 day from the home. Rev. C. A. 1 Cloud preached the funeral discourse and the Knights of Pythias had • charge of the arrangements. It was probably the first funeral procession in Syracuse that was composed eni tirely of automobiles, with the exception of the hearse. J . ■

38 YEARS AGO. Taken From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os 38 Years Ago. George Darr is sick with bilious fever, we believe. A little daughter of F. M. Corn has been quite sick for some time. Perry Wilden has sold his harness shop to John Snyder, of Milford. We understand that Johnny Regar talks of moving his cigar manufactory to town. Mr. A. J. Kitson, of the Island House, has our thanks for a lot of fine Concord grapes. Mrs. Nettie Bender, of Elkhart, is visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bowver. in this place. Our family return thanks to Mrs. Christ. Whistler, who remembered them with a fine piece of fresh pork. John F. Stillwell, of Benton, has our thanks for a basket of very large early rose potatoes, equal in size to any we have seen. On Thursday last Mr. J. C. McLaughlin, of Milford, called on us, and told us to “chalk” his name down on our subscription book. The Island House, on British Island, was sold at sherifi’s sale on Thursday last we understand. We believe that it was purchased by Mr. Martin Hiilabold, of this place, who owns the land upon which it stands On Thursday last an old lady named Marvel, who formerly lived in this vicinity, was buried in the cemetery in this place. She died at the home of her son, Stephen Marvel, of this county, and had reached the advanced age of 83 years we believe. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Allan Richhart, of this vicinity. Mr. Isaac Kitson, our old preceptor, and one of the leading farmers of this viclntty, brought into our office two mammoth sweet potatoes which, together, weighed nearly 8 pounds. The largest weighed 4 pounds and the other something more than 3 pounds. Next. We understand that Martin Hillabold, one as the “innocents,” succeeded in producing this year a cucumber which attained the remarkable length of eighteen inches. Before he had an opportunity of exhibiting it, however, some scoundrel carried it off. The loss, doubtless, is irreparable, yet he has the consolation of knowing that the old women will not now be pestering the life out of him for some of his seed. There is never a loss without a gain.
