Explosion Brings Death
Powder Works Blows Up and Wipes Hoosier
Town From Face of the Earth.


Fontanet, Ind, Oct. Is. By the
explosion of the Dupont Powder
Works today between 80 aud 35
persons were killed, six hundred
injured and Fontanent, city of
900 people, wiped out. Where
stood thriving and busy town
this morning, tonight there is ruin
and scattered wreckage. The dead
and more seriously injured have
been taken away. Five hundred
inhabitants, all more or less
wounded, remain to gather their
scattered household goods and
sleep under tents, guarded by-sol.
diers of the state.
Without warning the powder
mills, seven in number, blew up at
9:l5 this morning. They employed
200 men and of these Is were at
work when the first explosion
occurred in the press mill. In
quick succession the glazing mill,
two corning mills and the powder
magazine blew up, followed by the
cap mill. In the magazine, stu
ated several hundred yards from
the mill, were stored 1000 kegs Of
powder.
The conclusion when it blew up
was felt 200 miles away. Every
house in this town was destroyed
Farm houses two miles away and
school houses equally distant were
torn to pieces and their occupants
injured. Indianapolis and even
Cincinnati felt the shock. A pas
senger train on the Big Four rail-
way four miles away had every
coach window broken and several
passengers were injured by flying
glass.
Fire Followed Explosions.
The mill went up with three dis
tinct explosions, followed ninety
minutes later by a fourth, even
more serious than the others when
the magazines went up. Immedi-
ately following the explosions, the
wreckage took fire aud the inhabi-
tants of the town who rushed ia
the rescue of the mill employees
found themselves powerless to aid
those burning in the ruins. They
worked frantically in constant
danger from possible succeeding ex.
plosions, unmindful OF their ruined
homes. Dead and dying were
picked up and collected. Eighteen
bodies horribly burned and man
gled were carted to a protected spot
to await Identification, while tho
badly injured numbering upward
Of fifty were put on special trair
and taken to Terre Haute for hos
pital accommodations.
Scarcely one Of the 1000 inhabi
tants OF the town but carried bloot

on hands and face from his own
wounds or those of people who re.
quired aid.
The mills were located one mile
south of town. With the first ex-
plosion the employees ran for safety
but some of them were killed or
wounded by the quick following
explosions in the other mills. When
the heat from the burning mills ex-
ploded the giant powder magazine,
ninety minutes later, destroying
the town by the conclusion, many
Of those engaged in rescue work
were badly injured and several
Killed.
Killings at Long Distance.
superintendent Monahan of the
plant, was killed while in mis- office
and his wife and sister in law were
killed in their home some distance
away.
Among the buildings destroyed
in the town were the Methodist
and Christian churches, two school
buildings, the depot, all business
blocks, including large block just
completed, large warehouse and
500 homes.
A Big Four railroad freight train
on the switch leading to the mills
was practically destroyed by the
explosion and the wreckage caught
fire, Engineer Charles Wells was
badly burned and received frac.
ture of the right leg.
Destruction two Miles Away.
Three school houses were destroy
ed at Fontanet and Coal Bluff, two
miles away. All were filled with
school children and every one of
them was more or less injured by
the collapse of the building. A
four room school building was torn
to pieces and not one of the 200
children escaped unhurt, although
none we've fatally hurt A two
room school building at Coal Bluff
was turned over and collapsed.

Returns From Lewiston.

l. G. Hattabaugh returned Satur-
day from Lewiston where he spent
several days at the fair. He reports
the live stock exhibit as the best
they have ever had at that fair.
The attractions were good and the
races hotly contested. The atten-
dance this year was far beyond the
average and taken all in all their
fair was away ahead Of any pre-
vious attempts and Lewiston and
Clarkston aquitted themselves with
credit when it comes to entertain
ing visitors. The Idaho county
exhibit excited much comment and
was thing for citizens of this
county TO be proud Of.

Fair--Exhibit Excites Much Favorable Comment
LARGE NUMBER OF PRIZE WINNERS

While we didn't carry away the
SlO0 prize offered by the lewiston
Charleston fair for the best county
exhibit, we're feeling pretty good
just the same, for out of II entries
we carried away 54 prizes. We
made % entries for prizes in
grains and got away 81 premiums.
That's a fact to be proud of. A
nice big shower of first moneys for
best fruit fell our way and in
vegetables blue ribbons were in
evidence. Idaho county did fine
and another year we'll carry off
the first money offered for the best
county exhibit.
The exhibit from this county,
which occupied the east half of the
left wing OF the large horticultural
hall, attracted great attention, and
60 over to that part of the hall any
time of the day you would there
was always an interested crowd of
people looking over the showing
from that vast empire, Idaho coun-
ty, and making inquiries regarding
the land, prices, ETC., Of the county
with such resources. The benefits
derived from the advertising Sc
cured by this exhibit will be more

THE MIGHT OF MANNERS.
By Bliss Carman.

That Manners make the man" is gOodlv old saying with something truer than mere commonplace observa- tion in It's sound philosophy. Neither Chesterfield himself. that paragon of department. nor Barney McGes. who had
 "Chesterneld's way with touch of
 the Bowery,"
 can be imagined without the potent manners that were natural and char acteristic of them. For good manners cannot be donned nor laid aside like a coat Whether elegant or simple. they are the expressive and appropriate gar ment of personality, and it Is one of the tests for them that they are habit ual and can never be mistudged as being assumed or affected. The least touch of affectation or insincerity Is fatal to their value. To have bad man. ners or no manners Is to announce oneself a boor: but to use false man. ners Is to betray ones ineptitude.
 When the.' are real and actually reveal the inner personality how mighty manners are, So potent are they, Indeed. that We arc often car ried beyond our ultimate best judg- ment bS the instant enthusiasm and

One must be stolid indeed not to be sensitive to their po- tent influence and unconsciously sways tent influence and unconsc!oasly swayed by them.
 There .s no denying the pleasure of excellent manners, their ease. their advantage. their helpful charm and grace. and the distinction they confer. But a headlong and headstrong age. devoted to achievement for mere ae- hievement's sake, Is apt to consider them superfuous after ala mark of lightness and artiflciality, if not of effeminacy. Our homemade virtues are prone to arrogance and an over wcening self-reliancc. and are too ready to discount the veritable though subtle power which manners posses.

Buckeye Lumber Go. Gets Letter Prem One Who Is Watching the Pine Beard Contest.

Mont. Anderson. the moving spirit tn the Buckeye Lumber Go. the indcpen- dent sari at Five Points.

 Phoenix. oct. II. ls0t, MT. Mont Anderson. Phoenix.
 Dear Sir; My attention was called to your change of location by an arti- cie In Tho Republican and l am glad to see you at last where you can make your competition felt,
 The absence of comfortable ranch houses as rclc Is one of the first things that imprNeSseS a stranger, When he learns the prevailing prices of mm- Der. he has a very good Idea of the cause. ts fair and reasonable price were charged thcre Is no doubt it would result in better class of farm build ings,
 No trust or combine can permanent lS affect the progress of this valley, but it might by high prices in buildinS material rctard the building of neat and comfortable homes so attractive to prospective buyer or to the home builder. Ii there Is need of ccmpeti- tion in any business in this valley it Is certainly the lumber business, and if an independent cSncern win make and maintain better condition. it Is dc serving of the patronage of every pros pectiVe builder. Having known the Buckeye Lumber Co. before you ham iled lumber hero. and having watched an uphill fight against odds. I feel like giving word cf encouragement. and any material assistance may put in your way. Very truly, A FARMER.
