The barn connected with the Ex-

The barn connected with the EX-
change Hotel of Benton was totally
destroyed by fire last night. The
flames were discovered by travel
ing man about eight O'Clock in the
evening, but had gained such head
way that to save the building was
out of the question. The horses
and carriages were removed but a
number of hogs and considerable
amount of grain burned.
For a time the obstruction OF the
hotel was threatened and a good
deal of the furniture was removed,
but by dint of hard work on the
part of the bucket brigade the
building was saved. The bulk OF
the loss will fall upon Mrs. Olive
Hess who owned the hotel property
though the landlord Oscar +. SUIT
ton is loser to a considerable .eX-
tent by reason of the obstruction OF
personal property.

A GREAT BLOW
Would Be Struck at Roosevelt. If
He Is Not Endorsed.

Both Senators Foraker and Hanna
in their discussion of the propriety
of the Republican State Convention
endorsing Roosevelt. seem to have
overlooked the strongest point in
favor of it, to-wit, that Pennsylvania
and New York would join Ohio in ig-
noring the President. This was the
story that first came from Washing
ton-that these three States would
Join in movement to vote down res
olutions declaring for his endorse
ment.
This does not leave room any long
er to treat it as a question of pro-
prieties, which any man might act
upon according to his individual
Judgment. This makes it look as if
there was a power behind the move
ment that would make it ''hold up
of Roosevelt and in our view, the
Trust Barons are it's hackers and in
stigators. For Ohio to declare for
Roosevelt would mean that Pennsyl-
vania and New York would do like
wise: while for Ohio to vote against
his endorsement would strengthen
the hands of those who are against
him in these great States.
This makes the question one of fan
reaching Importance.

HAMILTON COUNTY
REPUBLICANS
Are on Record in the Spring Cam
pdign dS Demanding the Re-
nomination of President
Roosevelt and SEN
dtOr Hanna.

In connection with the controversy
which is now raging in the Demo-
cratic press of the State as to wheth-
er the next Republican State conven-
tion will or will not indorse the past
administration of President Roose-
welt, and insist upon his renomina-
tion, it is worthy of note that the at
titude of the Republicans of Hamil-
ton county seems to be already de-
termined upon On March 4, 1908.
the Hamilton county Republicans. in
convention assembled, adopted the
following resolution as one of the
planks of the platform for the Spring
municipal campaign: "We favor the
denomination of President Roosevelt
and the return to the United States
Senate of Senator Marcus A. Hanna
The resolution went on to declare
that the April election of 1903 was
the first gun to be fired in the next
national campaign. Under the cir
cumstances it is not at all probable
that the Republicans of Hamilton
county will desert their own plat
form, and refuse to insist on an in.
ldorsement of President Roosevelt
While it cannot be stated positiv. ly,
it is certainly very probable that ii
no other Republican in the State
convention presents a resolution OF
Endorsement for the reelection OF
President Roosevelt, some one from
Hamilton county will. The Republi'
can party of this county have never
adopted an attitude hastily, nor, hav'
ing adopted it, have they been fright
ened away by the fulminations of up
the-State politicians. Senator Fora
ker evidently recognized this fact
when in his recent statement he de
Tended the position taken months
ago by the Hamilton county Repub
licans, in the Endorsement of Roose
velt. 1t may be regarded as certain
that the next State convention will
