Entered at the poetoffloe at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter WE EXTEND OUR SYMPATHY The citizens of Decatur and Adams county are shocked and appalled and deeply sympathize with their neighbor Bluffton in tnese dark hours of their grief. Twenty-three citizens of Wells county, twenty of them from Bluffton, gave up their lives in the Kingsland wreck Wednesday. Many, if not all of them were known, some of them intimately, by many of our people, and this sad fact adds to the grief that has penetrated to all parts of our city. In such a crisis words are idle and fail to give expression to the real sorrow one feels. The appalling disaster has taken from the ranks of the business and social life in Bluffton some of the brightest of men and fairest of women, those who were leaders in those things that makes life worth the living. It is not only sad, but tragically sad. In the twinkling of an eye forty lives are sacrificed, and taken from the activities of a life they graced and from the friends they loved. Grief and sorrow overshadows and dulls any desire to know the cause of such a disaster or how it might have been averted. It is enough to know that forty lives have been taken, forty homes made desolate and

grief has come to thousands upon thousands of our citizens. Insurance companies may pay heavy toll and the Wabash Traction company may have to settle in accordance with the law, but the fact remains that flowers and a pleasant memory will take the place of life Itself. In the presence of this death, the citizens of Decatur bow ! tbelr heads in grief and extend to the citizens of Bluffton their sympathy. Senator Beveridge informs us that I the little affair over in Maine the oth,er day was non-partisan. What's in a name anyway. The same thing can be done in Indiana and the democrats will offer no serious objections as to what the senior senator may call It. Hon. John W. Macy of Winchester is the latest to take his pen in hand and to give his republican brethren a little political wisdom, to the effect that if the insurgent friends of Beveridge will bottle up their wrath and stop their fight upon every other republican who refuses to believe with them upon the application of their republicanism, it will at least improve the chances of party success. While Mr. Macy means well, he might just as well save the oil. Conciliation at ’ this stage of the game is one of the impossibilities. NOTICE.
