STARVING, KILL AND BMfIMCH OTHER Snow-Bound Passengers Turn to Cannibalism in the East The most gruesome tale which came out as a result of last week’s storm, was unfolded Friday when a train which had been stalled in the drifts, pulled into West Philadelphia and the passengers were found to be appeasing their hunger by cannibalism, killing and feeding upon their fellows. The train was from the west and the 700 passengers were destined for New York. They had been caught by the blizzard in the vicinity of Lancaster and had been held up there until that day. Railroad men who opened the doors of the cars found the passengers fighting ferociously among themselves, tramping the weaker under foot and tearing to pieces and devouring those who went down. 33 were dead and in var ious stages of being eaten while others were so badly injured that it was considered useless to try to treat them. The dead and dying were dragged from the cars and the carcarses burned while other railroad men hurried quantities of corn into the cars, for the voracious and halfstarved passengers were hogs consigned to a New York packing house. WANT DAMAGES FOR DEATH ADMINISTRATOR OF WHITEHEAD ESTATE SUES LAKE SHORE Emory Johnson, as administrator for the Quinter D. Whitehead estate, has filed suit in the Elkhart county court against the Lake Shore railway for SIO,OOO damages. Mr. Whitehead and his father-in-law, Geo. C. Grady, met death at the Lateral railway crossing in Goshen on November 10th while riding in a light wagon. No complaint has been filed in connection with the death of Geo. Grady but it is said that the Lake Shore road is negotiating for settlement for the death of Mr. Gradv. Overtures to compromise the Whitehead claim are said to have been rejected. To Have Soil Survey The Indiana department of geolo gy will conduct a soil survey of the northern tiers of counties during the coming season under the personal direction of Edward Barrett, the state geologist. This will include Kosciusko county. He and his assistants will establish themselves in some central’ point and work out each day to every locality in the Counties mentioned until the soils are thoroughly gone over. This survey should prove of great benefit to the farmers. Bids Are Scarce Most contractors declined to bid for the construction of gravel roads in Elkhart county last week and it will be nescessary to re-advertise the bids. They say that gravel is too high. One Goshen paper says that some claim that there is an effort on the part of a recently formed gravel company to hold up the county in the matter of price, on the strength of a government report that was favorable.

Arrested for Contempt Imon Bunger was arraigned in circuit court in Goshen last week on a charge of contempt. He failed to obey the order of the court and pay a weekly .allowance to Nita Bunger for the support of his children. An attorney showed that Bunger was $72 behind in the payments and was sent to jail. Later he paid over the amount and was released. v “Where The Pins Go” An official of the Baltimore &. Ohio railroad in a circular in which he points out to the employes the opportunities for economy gives some interesting figures on the cost of stationery and printing. In 1913 these two items cost the road about $500,000. The Baltimore & Ohio has 2,000 offices. Last year these offices used 700.000 lead pencils, 1,000,000 pens, 23.000,000 pins, 18, 000,000 envelopes, 14,000,000 sheets of carbon paper, 23,000,000 second sheets, 11.000,000 rubber bands, 570,000 blotters, 2.500,000 letter fasteners, 2,000,000 file backs, 10, 000 sponges, 3,3oo*rulers and other office articles ia proportion. These supplies alone cost $60,000. B.F. HOOPINGARNER IS NAMED PRES. WILSON SENDS NAME TO THE SENATE LAST WEEK President Wilson sent the name of B. F. Hoopingarner to the senate the latter part of last week for postmaster of this place, according to a Washington dispatch dated March 7. J. H. Miller’s commission will expire next Wednesday. It is probable, however, the change will not be made on the 18th. Mr. Hoopingarner had not received his appointment at the time this was written and when he does some little time will be consumed by the filing of the bond required by law so thal it will be nearly the first of April before the transfer is made. Mr. Miller first took charge of the Syracuse office 14 years ago the first of last January, filling out the unexpired term of Ed Ott. At the expiration of that term he was reappointed . and has served ever since. ' ’ MILLERSBURG WANTS LINE CITIZENS ASK CONNECTION WITH THE FT. WAYNE LINE y,' A delegation of Millersburg citizens went to Kendallville last week to consult the general manager of the Ft. Wayne & Northwestern railway relating to the extention of that line to their village. , No definite conclusion was reached but it is claimed that the conference was a pleasant one and results are expected from it. Millersburg also desires to secure electrcity for lighting and power purposes. M. E. Chui ch There will be the regular services of the church next Sunday, preaching morning and evening. It is not hard to do the things you set your heart on. It is not difficult to go to church, if you think so and give yourself no alternative. Next Sunday two sermons which are intended to be helpful will be worth while to you. It yoii are not in Sun day School we invite you to ours. SEVERE BRONCHIAL COUGH ‘Doctors Feared Lung Trouble, Restored to Health by VinoL The medical profession does not believe that lung troubles are inherited, but a person may inherit a weakness or tendency to them. Mrs. Kate Heckman, Springfield, Ohio, says: “A few years ago I was in a very bad run-down condition, and the physician told me I had consumption. I tried another physician, and he told me I had ulcers on my right lung. I quit the physicians and started on ‘VinoL* Today I am perfectly healthy, and that is why I recommend ‘Vinol’.’* Vinol soothes and heals the inflamed surfaces and allays the cough, Vinol creates an appetite, strengthens the digestive organs and gives the patient strength to throw off incipient pulmonary diseases. Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Quality Drug Store, Syracuse

SYRACUSE WINS FROMJNA GREEN The Score of 43 to 6 Tell The Entire Story of Contest Syracuse had no trouble in defeating the Etna Green team that played here last Friday night. When the smoke of battle cleared away the result amonunted to 43 to 6 in favor of the locals. It is very likely that the evening was something of a surprise to the visitors. On the same evening the Nappanee game was played here, the second Syracuse team journeyed to Etna Green and came home with the short end of a 76 to 7 score; this might have been a little misleading to the visitors as they seemed unwilling to tie into the locals in the latter game. New Church at Warsaw The Methodists at Warsaw will erect a new $60,000 church. The plans will be decided upon about March 28.

She was married to Eli Stiffler May 15, 1851.

Sister Stiffler, with husband and family lived on a farm on which their son, David, now resides, until the father’s death, May 27th, 1881, then she moved, in 1889, to Syracuse to reside.
