SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1926

PRESIDENTS BAND AT WINONA LAKE I i One of the most notable musical events in wxe history of northern Indiana will be staged a the big Winona Lake tabernacle on the evening of Thursday, October 14. when a concert will be given by the United States Marine Band under the auspices of tiife Warsaw Kiwanis Club. This great band of 75 musicians, under *he leadership of Capt. William Santelmann, will appear there for the first time. The band which was organized bach in the revolutionary days, has been a spectacular figure in the life of Washington since the days of President Adams. It has played at all national and international functions ever staged in the District of Columbia. The band is the oldest and best military organization in America and is said to have no equal in all the nations of the world. It is known as the “President’s Band," because it is always on duty at. the White House and plays at all functions staged in Washington. In 1911 congress took action which made it possible for the president of the United States to allow’ this band a brief furlough each year to play concerts in cities of the United States. During the w’orld war these concert tours were abandoned. However, this year President Coolidge has granted the band a furlough to play a few concerts east of ♦he Mississippi river. One of the few cities favored is Warsaw. Capt. Santelmann. leader of the band, has headed the organization for 23 years. His fame as director of the great military band has only been equalled by John Philip Sousa, the “march king” who was a fbrmer leader. 0 AN APPEAL We have a large sum due us on unpaid subscriptions.

KILLED BY B. & O. TRAIN I 11 Ellsworth Deßrular, aged 40, was instantly killed at 6:30 o’clock Friday morning when he 1 was run over by the westbound B. & O. Passenger train —the Milkshake —at a crossing near the depot it Cromwell. Contractor Harry Bunger and his men had started for their work at Ligionier, and as usual, were loaded onto one of Mr. Bunger’s trucks, with him at the wheel. When they reached the crossing the entire view of ;he track was obstructed by a cut of the company linemen cars, which had been there several days installing the wiring for a set of danger signals. Mr. Bunger started across the tracks and cleared them but ‘he oncoming train w*as so close that Mr. Deßiular and Vern Michael, both of whom were sitting on the back end the truck, jumped for fear of being struck. Mr. Deßrular fell in the center of the ♦rack. Mr. Michael, seeing his companions’ predicament, attempted to drag him from the rails, but the heavy iron horse was upon them before Mr. DeBrular could be liberated, and the wheels passed over his right leg, severing it at the thigh. He died within a few minutes. Mr. Deßrular is survived by his wife, 5 children, 5 brothers and 2 sisters.. He was a member of the town board, the Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges. Funeral services were , held Sunday afternoon at the M. E. church. Interment in Sparta cemetery. n GOOD PICTURES AT CRYSTAL A good many of our people and readers of the Journal were in Ligonier at the Crystal Theatre to witness the picture “Laddie” which was shiotwn .there for three days last week, some pronounced it the best picture they had ever seen. We have heard it said that the Crystal is showing better pictures than can be seen in some of the larger cities. Mr. Inks’ success is largely due to advertising in the Journal which accounts for our people attending the shows at the Crystal. o UNDERWENT OPERATION Rev. J. H. Royer, pastor of the M. E. church, was operated upon Friday morning at the hospital in Ft. Wayne for appendicitis. He is getting along as well as can be expected. o CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The monthly meeting and noonday luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce will be held at the Sign of the Kettle on Tuesday, October 12.

HISTORIC LANIER HOUSE AT MADISON i The Indiana Society of Pioneers of which Charles N. Thompson of Indianapolis is president, will have charge of the formal open- ; jng to the public on October 8-9 . of the historic Lanier House at i Madison. The state conservai tion department says Ridhard ' Lieber, director, will cooperate, as it is this departigent the legislature designated to act as custodians of this property. Elmer Scott, Madison business man one of the leaders in obtaining Clifty Falls State Park» heads the local committee. Thfe celebration is open -‘o the public. Reclamation consisted of redecorating the interior and making such repairs as necessary to be able to display this place to the public as the home of a gentleman of the forties. Tbte conservation department was ably assisted in this work by Miss Drusilla Cravens, Mrs. Davidson, Senator Joseph M. and Charles Cravens, grandchildren of J. F. D. Lanier. It was during the Civil War when Indiana was hard pressed for funds to prosecute the conflict, that J. F. D. Lanier, one of the foremost citizens and also one of the wealthiest of Indiana, ’oaned the state one million dollars to help finance the war. The Lanier home is of the Colonial type and more than half a century ago was known for hundreds of miles along the Ohio Valley for its magnificence. For vears it was the show place of that section of the country. The last legislature provided that it be turned over to the conservation department to be preserved in all its beauty and magnificence by the state, as grateful recognition of what its former owner did for the government in time of conquest. The Lanier home overlooks one of the prettiest views on the Ohio river, and, equipped with furnishings of an early is of unusual interest to thousands who annually visit Madison and view with pleasure a replica of the home of a gentleman of Indiana when Madison was the trade center of that section of the nation. The Lanier House is a striking example of the architecture of the homes of the Gentlemen of the Forties. Os the Colonial type it lias a commanding view of the beautiful Ohio river, ahd one of the most impressive parts of thte place is the spacious grounds. Much of the furniture in it now is of period tyne, gifts from relatives of the former owner. Francis Costigan, famous eastern architect who spent 20 years in Indiana, designed the Lanier House. He is remembered by many Hoosiers as the architect of the Blind Asylum building in Indianapolis soon to be razed to make room for the World War Memorial; also of Chrisft Church in the Circle, said to be the finest example of architecture of this kind in the world, and of the old Postoffice now Hie Fletcher American Bank Building in Indianapolis. o BIRTHS Betty Gean Brown was born on Thursday. September 30, to Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Brown, in Ft. Wayne. Mrs. Brown is a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Bailey of this city. A daughter was bom on Friday, October 1, to Mr. and Mrs. Byron Grubb.

The ice cream industry has grown to a point where the annual volume is of an estimated vahjgof $11,000,000.’ Ice cream has become thru consistent promotion, a year-round food, rather than a seasonal luxury.

< THINGS TO : THINK ABOUT 1 1 ) Review of Things by the Editor t As He Sees Them on * the Surface, 1 * : The Might of Manners That “nii\nners make the man" r is a godly saying old with some- ' thing truer than mere . place observation in its sound * philosophy. ’ To have bad manners or no manners is to announce ’ cneself a boor; but to use false * manners is .to betray one's in- ; When they are real and actually reveal the inner personal- ’ ity how mighty manners are! So- potent are they, indeed, that we are often carried beyond, our ultimate best judgment by ‘he instant enthusiasm and responsive impulse they evoke in us, and by the sway they exercise over our will, and we very readily give them an even higher valuation than is their due. The might of frnanners is as great as the majesty of mind or the supremacy of soul. Our home-made virtues are prone to arrogance and an overweening self-reliance, and are too ready to discount the veritable though subtle power which manner possess. Truculent merit, assured of its own unassailable honesty, and reinforced perhaps by an abundance of physical vigor, scorns to employ any suavity of demeanor; any graciousness or tact in presenting itself, for fear of seeming to concede an atom of its own integrity.
