At Sweet Sixteen.

The WEEKLY REFLECTOR today en-
ters on its 10th year--sweet sixteen
and it claims to be oil that the be.
witching age suggests-bright. good
looking and lively; well-dressed, good
natured and popular. The RE-
FLEcroR had a humble beginning in
lowly paths Of Democracy
Democracy as Kansas used TO have.
Eleven years ago 1t passed to the
present management and its course
has been upward and onward since,
following the strait and narrow way
Of Republicanism. 1t has grown in
influence and circulation until it has
a larger circulation by several humid
red than any other paper in the
county-and it is growing every
week.
The REFLECTOR aims to be the
"home paper Of Dickinson county;
the paper that the family wants to
read and the that the father wants
the family to read; the paper that is
sent to the boys and girls at school
and the paper that those who move
away order sent to them to tell them
Of old Dickinson--the best county in
Kansas. 1t prints all the news that's
fit to print-for the other kind it has
no use whatever. II aims TO be fair
and manly in its treatment Of all and
any erroneous statement made In its
columns is always corrected cheer
fully and gladly.
That is the REfLECToR's ideal and
ambition. II it suits you, suggest to
your neighbor that he try It also. He
will live longer and he happier for
having it in the house.

A serious accident occurred in rum

assistant cashier of the Faribault
county bank, saw the runaway horse
dashing down the street and near by a
child in danger. He rushed for the
child, caught him to rescue him, but
was a second too late. The wheel of
the buggy struck the boys right side
just as he was being drawn aside and
broke his leg near the hip joint. Mr..
Reagan discovered that he had his own
5-year-old son in his hands. The boy
seems to have escaped other injuries.
Mr.. Reagan was struck by the vehicle
but not injured beyond slight bruises.

LIVES CRUSHED OUT.
Several Buildings in Philadelphia
AT Least Four Deaths Result.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-Bythe explo-
sion of 40 gallons of gasoline in the
cellar of grocery store at 1444 South
street Sunday, certainly four and pos
sibly dozen or more lives were lost.
AS an immediate consequence of the
explosion the building where it oc-
Cured and those adjoining it on either
side collapsed and up to ten o'clock,
four hours after the occurrence, four
bodies had been recovered from the
ruins and three of these identified as
follows: Samuel Schattenstein, keep
er of the grocery store; his 19-year-old
son, Abraham; a ten-months-old child
named Goldberg. The fourth body was
that of girl about ten years old.
How the explosion occurred is yet
unknown. The front of 1444 was i'm
media tely blown out and this was fol-
lowed by the collapse of that struc-
ture and Nos. 1442, occupied by Morris
Goldberg's furniture store, and 1446,
Louis Sallonose's shoe store. The west
wall of 1440, occupied by L. Wanger's
clothing store, was blown out. All the
buildings were Of brick, three stories
in height. -.
In the confusion and excitement fol-
lowing the disaster. It is as yet impos-
sible to secure anything like an accu-
rate census Of the occupants, but it is
generally stated that the upper floors
were crowded with families, huddled
together tenement fashion. Coming
as it did at the supper hour, it is feared
The loss of life will be heavy. The list
of injured will be long. They were
taken to all the hospitals within a
radius of mile. .s.-.. g..
After the recovery of the four
bodies, the authorities decided to post
pone the search for additional victims
until this morning, thus olivia ting the
dangers and delays of working upon
the mass of debris and wreckage in the
darkness.
The co1pses of Schattenstein and his
son were picked up ON the steps of No.
1444. The unidentified ten-year-old
girl was found pinioned by a mass of
timbers in the rear of the same build
ing and the Goldberg child died while
being taken to hospital. The in
jured at the Howard hospital number
seven. -"
Estimates of the number of missing
vary from eighteen to six.
The accepted theory of the accident
is that Schatterstein went into the GEL
lar with lighted lamp, which ignited
the fumes of the gasoline. From the
position of his body and that of his son
on the front steps it is thought they
were emerging from the house when
caught by the falling walls. The COL
lapse of the buildings occurred within
two minutes Of the explosion, and the
occupants had little time or chance to
escape.
