LARGEST CLASS IN OUR HISTORY Twenty-Three Students Will Graduate From Local High School ■— The largest class in the history of the Syracuse high school will graduate in the month of May. ProfC’ C. Bachman and his corps of able teachers are to be congratulated upon this excellent feature Not to much praise can be bestowed upon the graduates themselves. It takes stamina to successfully pass through the four years of higher schooling. Twenty-three students will don I the robes of graduates and what is more remarkable, sixteen of the twenty three are boys. It is very seldom that the graduating class has a masculine majority, and it seems to evidence that our boys are beginning to realize the advantages of an education. Following are the graduates: Wil ma Kitson, Eva Pearson, Hattie Routsau, Marie’Sirieby, Ruth Jeffries, Ruth Launer. Mary Sargent, John Snobarger, Clifford Ott, Lonnie Searfoss, Hugh Warstler, Guy Bushong. Phillip Bowser, Eugene Hoopingarner, Joe Rapp, Scott Hire, Orlen Stiffler, Virgil Mock. Hallie Holloway, Ray Ott, Aldean Strieby, Forest Bowld, and Charles Rentfrow, The class day excercises will be given on Thursday, May 21, and commencement will be held on the following Friday. Prof. Geo. H. Tapy of Wabash College has been secured to make the principal address. Prof. Tapy rendered this same service here three years ago and his work was accorded much commendation.

ROBBERS VISIT SYRACUSE BELIEVED TO BE POSTOFFICE THIEVES IN AUTO Through the vigilance of Marshal Hire and Night Watchman Adam Darr, the local postoffice escaped from being robbed Monday night. Last Saturday, Postmaster-Hbop-ingarner leceived warning to be on the lookout for postoffice robbers who were operating along the B. & O. The message stated that there were two and that they usually entered a postoffice a day or so previous to burglarizing it and would take a half hour or more to write a postal card, sizing up things in the meantime On Monday Marshal Hire received a similar warning. That same afternoon two men in an automo bile came to Syracuse and entered the postoffice, acting very similar to the manner described in the warning. B. F. Hoopingarner notified Marshal Hire and he with Adam Darr kept watch on Monday night and it was luckey they did. The two officers were at the Holton Hotel until about one o.clock when Adam Darr made his regular round. He saw a machine stop in front of the school house and one man alighted, disappearing in the darkness. The machine, which had the top up and curtains on, drove up in front of the postoffice and the driver, after looking around, left the car and started down the alley. At this time Officers Hire and Darr approached the stranger, who remarked. "I have made a hell of a drive and my radiator is dry”. To make good his bluff, he went to the pump, but two tinfuls run the radiator over, sustaining the bluff theory. He then climbed into the machine and went south on Huntington street. Marshal Hire asserts that he saw this man in Syracuse that afternoon and his description fits the one given by the postmaster of one of th? loiterers of that afternoon. Undoubtedly, had there been no interference, the burglary would *have been attempted and it is fortunate that we have an efficient pair of police officials. PHILOSOPHICAL. If all our wishes were gratified most of our pleasures would be destroyed.—Archbishop Whately. A man is very apt to complain of the ingratitude of those who have risen far above him.—Dr. : Johnson. If a sparrow cannot fall without God’s know-ledge, how can an empire rise without his aid?— Benjamin Franklin. Elected Honorary Members Two Syracuse men were elected honorary members of the local G. A. R. Post at its last meeting. It is an honor much appreciated by the recipients, Jos. P. D< lan and Geo. O. Snyder. Two Hundred Horses Burned Two hundred horses were burned 4o death and four hundred wagons were? destroyed Friday morning, in a fire which wiped out the United States Express company’s west side barns, in Chicago, with a loss of $200,000. Fred Hinderer was at Columbia City, last Thursday. Elmer Miles and Sam Searfoss attended the theatre at Goshen, Tuesday night. Mrs. Floyd R. Kitson and sons, are spending the week with relatives in Ft. Wayne. ’ > T. A. Brainard was at Toledo, Ohio, and Adrian, Mich., several days last week. Little if any hope is felt that Wm Bare will recover from his present illness. His condition is very grave. The latest reports from the bedside of Oliver Cromwell. whois at his daughter’s home in Garrett, is that his condition is steadily growing worse. A new organization of undoubtable renown, has been organized in this town under the auspices of W. C. Howard. It is authorized under the name of “The Howard Chemical Fire Department.” A trial was presented Sundav night with favorable results.

INDIANA STATE NEWS Town to Be Made Very Dry. BLOOMINGTON, IND.—The liquor law violators of Bloomington are in a quandary over the visit to this city of Joseph Reiff, a United States reven ae officer. Mr. Reiff before leaving the city obtained evidence that about forty men had been selling liquor illegally. He spent several hours calling on these men and informing them that they could take their choice of paying up the federal tax of $25 for the stamp and $12.50 back dues or going before the federal court at Indianapolis. N Mr. Reiff threatened to take the whole crowd of violators with him to Indianapolis and most of them decided not to argue with the officer, but to pay up in full. Prosecutor Joseph F Barclay says that Bloomington will be one of the “dryest” places in the state this summer. Aiderman Farms the Town. EVANSVILLE, IND.—The fact that Francis M. Groves, manager of a local bill posting company and city councilman for years, has been collecting a toll from out-of-town firms oi distributors wanting to work in this city was learned when C. E. Wicks and Elmer Littlepage, representatives of a Battle Creek (Mich.) cereal company, were taken into custody by the police tor distributing packages without a license. At police headquarters the men showed a receipt for $5 signed by Groves and a tin badge they said cost $2, which was to be returned on the return of the badge. Called to task by city officials, Mr. Groves admitted issuing such licenses for years, although his own permit is nontransferable, and there is no provision in license for a transfer of privileges.

I ritish Columbia, and that his mother, Mrs. Catherine Taylor of Jeffersonville, who was visiting another son at Mobile, Ala., started home on hearing the sad news, but died from the shock on the way to her train. Both bodies will be shipped to Jeffersonville for burial. Horse Chilly; Causes Death. WARSAW, IND.—Frank Hill, forty, a prominent farmer, was thrown from his buggy at midnight and died at 5 o’clock in the morning. His head struck a curb.

WILL REBUILD IT ONCE TOTAL LOSS ESTIMATED TO BE $50,000 According to authentic reports from Winona in the near future practically every building destroyed by the disastrous conflagration of last Saturday will be replaced with modern summer homes. After careful consideration, many . 4pterested persons have estimated tfiat the actual loss will reach at least $50,000. This does not in elude merely the loss on the buildings and contents, but also that of the electric light company which had a large amount of wire destroyed, the gas company, the telephone company, and number of other losses. The fire loss will not in any way interfere with the regu- ‘ lar session program to be started in June. Necklace From Florida Mrs. John Neff is the proud recipient novel necklace sent her by Mrs. 0. A. Haney of Tampa, Florida. The necklace is made of two different shaped beads, one shape being made of rose petals and the other of orange blossoms. Lutheran Church There will be preaching at the Lutheran church next Sunday at 7:30 P. M. Rev. H. A. Brandt of Toledo, Ohio will be the minister. Come out and hear him. USEE 1 10 Os LEASED A. A. Rasor, Receiver, Is So Instructed By Judge Bowser Arrangements have been nearly completed that will allow of the Inn being conducted at Wawasee this summer. Its chances of running t seemed slim for a time but it is highly probable that the well known hostelry will open its doors at the usual time. An action was brought before Judge Bowser, Tuesday afternoon, and the court instructed A. A. Rasor, the receiver, to lease the hotel at a nominal rent and according to the suggestions of the bondholders. It is practically settled, therefore, that a lease will be issued to L. D. and J. E. Ballou, who will conduct the hotel pending a settlement of the claims against the Wawasee Inn Company. The inhabitants of the lake will undoubtedly receive this news with pleasure as the closing of the Inn would have been detrimental, to the boatmen especially.
