ROBBERS DYNAMITE 4 BANK

Citizens Exchange Shots with Des-

Their Escape.

| Fowler, Ind, Oct .10.-Robbers dyna-
mited the bank of Young, Hamilton &
Co., at Freeland, early Saturday, and
it is reported they secured 10000. The
safe was blown open and looted, and
| the entire side of the, bank building
was blown out. The noise awakened
the people of the town. o.
Possess were Immediately organized
and the surrounding country is, being
secured in an effort to catch the des-
peradoes. 49,.
Information was sent to Chicago and
a general alarm was Immediately sent
out notifying all officers to be on the
lookout for the robbers. -
The burglars gained entrance to the
bank shortly after midnight, it is
supposed, and, after drilling holes in
the door of the safe, put in charge of
dynamite, which blew the door from
its hinges and aroused the whole town.
Before citizens could respond to the
alarm, the bank wreckers gathered to-
gether a large amount of booty and
fed.

the explosion, but had a swift team
of horses, and got out of town before
they could be overtaken.
In the chase which followed, run
ming fight took, place with revolvers
and many shots were exchanged.
The bandits returned bullet for bull

of the pursuers were hit. 1t is not
known whether any of the robbers
were hurt in the melee.
Freeland Park is on the line of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and it is
supposed that, after making safe exit
from town and escaping from their
followers, the burglars took to the
tracks of the road, and later caught a
freight train for Chicago.
Detectives were sent to the yards
there. and are keeping a close lookout
for the men wanted.

DEFICIT PILlNC UP APACE.
Effect Of Republican Financial Meth
DDS Should Set Patriotic Vo-
tiers to Thinking.

The Boston Herald does not take q
very cheerful view of the governments
financial outlook. Republican manage
ment seems to have put the treasury in
very bad way. The deficit continues to
roll up balance on the wrong side OF
the ledger. August shows an excess OF
expenditures over receipts amounting to
not far from $7,O00,000. This, taken In
connection with the deficit shown In
July. will make total deficit of more
than So, 100000 for the first two months
of the current fiscal year. The receipts
for August were lighter than those for
the same month of either of the two
preceding years. This decline, says the
Herald, has come very largely through
the falling off in the imports of dutiable
goods. while our imports of goods on the
free list have advanced. In more than
one instance the Dingley rates Of duty
are practically prohibitive-thati is, they
are so high that, instead Of turning in
a very large amount of revenue, they
produce but small amount of income
for the treasury, owing to the linn
tied amount imported. While the
revenue last month fell far below the
.evel for the month of August in either
1903 or 1902, the expenditures have al
vanced enormously. The gain over the
expenditures for August Of last year is
IS per cent, an increase of almost one
fifth, and yet we suppose the republicans
will say that the population of the coun-
try has increased, therefore the expendi-
lures must also increase; and leading
republican organ like the New York
Tribune will welcome this as another
step toward the two billion mark in con-
gressional expenditures. Our country
is at peace. there has been no material
change in the conditions, as far as the
country itself is concerned, from what
ruled in August of 1903 and 1902, and
yet, as we have said, national expendi-
lures have advanced by almost one-fifth
in single year. On any such ratio OF
progression as that our national ex-
penditures would double even their
present figures inside of five years.
Even with such condition to be con-
sidered, the republican party and the
present administration have as yet
made no declaration in favor of either
economy or retrenchment. Those words
evidently DO not appear in their vocab-
ulary They welcome extravaganza,
says the Indianapolis Sentinel, as they
think it insures the retention Of very
high tariff.

general belief that business in all
lines this fall would not be as good
