1t has been intimated that the Expo
sition authorities contemplate prolong-

That, In our opinion, would be sad
mistake. If you failed to open on

other course will be reckless.

Mrs. Adlae Stevenson, wife Of form
er Vice President Stevenson, was once
a Hampden.Sidney girl, daughter Of
President Green, Of that institution,
and one Of the most gifted men who
ever occupied that chair, has this TO
say iu reply to Mr.. Roosevelt's demand
forlarge families. "No thoughtful wo-
man of America, said Mrs. Stevenson,
"who has not been more than startled
by the appeal for larger families. While
this appeal has been most urgent, do
not recall that there has been one word
In reference TO the health or life Of the
mother, nor has the ability Of the moth
er, physically, mentally, morally, spir-
itually or financially, to rear children
been touched upon.
"lhe question should not be how
many children, but their condition and
what kind of citizens they will make.
This plea for the little ones, that some
thought should be given to prolonging
the life OF the mother aud thus protect
the babes, should occupy first place in
the work of mother clubs. The size Of
the family is Of less importance"

COST OF LIVING.

ltis remarkable thing that the
people in this country who are being
So sOrely oppressed by the cost OF iv-
ing DO not rise as one man and de-
mand of Congress the needed relief.
The government prosecutions oil
trusts have not curbed the cupidity,
nor ability OF the beef trust to levy its
tribute, and there IS but one way pos
stole TO- get relief, and that Is through
p revision of the tariff that will check
the mouOpolies that are today fixing
lhe prices ON the necessarles OF life

to SIC. a pound. 1t would be well
to have altogether new Congressman
who would come t. the relief Of the
people before knowing much Of lives
of luxury.

SAFE BLOWN;
TOWN BURNS
Bandits Dynamite Postoff1ce
and Reynolds, Indiana,
Nearly Obliterated.
HUNDREDS HOMELESS
Business District a Mass of Ruins
and Part of the Residential
Section Wiped Out.

Reynolds, Ind. Aug. 2S.-This town
was almost obliterated and hundreds
were driven from their homes by a
fire started by postoffice safeblowers
at o'clock yesterday morning. With
in a short while after the explosion in
the postoff1ce the town was aglare and
the business section was a mass Of
flames.
The town was without fire protection
of any sort, and 1900 persons fed, with
personal belongings from homes which
seemed doomed to certain destruction.
The flames spread rapidly from the
postoffiee building to adjoining struc-
lures, and before the entire populace
was aroused, threatened to sweep the
town from end to end.
Fugitives In Night Robes.
Terrified citizens ran hither and
thither in the streets which were
lighted as If by MONDAY sun. Many
were clad only in night attire and all
carried personal belongings.
As building after building was en-
veloped in flames, citizens Joined hands
in fighting against the flames. Through
heroic efforts Of a volunteer bucket
brigade many homes were saved and
these stood conspicuously out against
the black background OF smoking ruins
yesterday.
Women and children fed before the
fire to friends at Monon and Monticello,
where they were housed for the re
mainder Of the night.
Blocks Reduced to Ash Heaps.
Before the volunteers secured a mas
terry of the fire, two business blocks had
been reduced to ash heaps and embers.
When the fire had burned itself out
the citizens turned their attention to-
ward capturing the robbers who had
caused the disaster. James Britton,
the town marshal, formed a posse of
determined residents and the man hunt
was begun. The posse searched for
several hours without result.
1t is believed the safeblowers belong
to an organized gang which has preyed
upon small towns of Ohio and Indiana
for some time. They are believed to
have used nitro-glycerine.
Big Loss; Small Insurance.
The loss was poorly covered by in
surance and is estimated at many thou
sands of dollars.
Among the properties destroyed were:
William Goss, saloon; Samuel Rob
shop; D. D. Phillips. hardware store
and postoffice; Fred Myers, boot and
shoe store; Miss May Mckee, restau-
dry goods store; J. S Eads, hardware
store; Heinrich Bros. implement and
blacksmith shop. G. ]. Heimichs resi-
dence was also burned. This compris es
