JCENES OF SUFFERING
Are and Cold Weather Add to Ilort||
ror of the Situation?Leaped From
W Itoof to lloof?Without Food and
' Water?Fate of Many People in
Doubt.
Many pathetic and distressing
scenes were witnesses in Dayton and
other cities and towns in Indiana
.and Ohio when they were overwhelmed
with the angry waters the first of
the week. Fire that destroyed many
buildings in Dayton's submerged section
cast a red, wierd glow over the
flood stricken city that added to the
fears of thourands of refugees and
Marooned persons and led to apprehension
that there may have been
many of the water's prisoners in the
burned buildings.
Rescue squads worke.1 frantically
to throw back the veil that hides the
true story of the Dayton disaster?
the number of dead. It was reported
that a number of dead had been
found in houses at 5th and Eagle
streets, but when roscuers worked
their way into the partially submerged
dwellings they found a number of
the flood's prisoners were weak from
fright and hunger.
Fire that appeared to threaten the

block bounded by 2nd and 3rd streets
and Jefferson and St. Clair streets.
In the block are the Fourth National
'Bank, Evansville Wholesale Drug
Company and several commission
houses. It was impossible to get
within two miles of the fire and from
that distance what appeared to be explosions,
probably of drugs, made the
tire seem of larger proportions than
it was.
It was impossible to ascertain even
approximately the number of persons
who might have been marooned in
this section and who died after being
trapped by flood and fire. Nevertho
less, rescue work went steadily
on, and about 3,000 persons were
housed in places of refuge. At least
65,000 persons are imprisoned in
homes and in business buildings. It
is feared their two days' imprisonment.
with accompanying hunger and
fright has caused tremendous suffer
ing.
Dayton was praotically cut off from
wire communication until late Wednesday
afternoon. Then two wires
into Cincinnati were obtained and
operators plunged into great piles of
telegrams from Dayton citizens, almost
fi^ntic in their desire to assure
friends outside of their safety. Operators
at opposite ends of the wires
reported that thousands of telegrams
were piled up at relay offices. These
were from people anxious over the
fate of Dayton kinsmen.
Two oarsmen who braved the current
that swirled through the business
section of the city Wednesday
reported that the water at the Algonquin
Hotel, at the southwest corner
of Third and Ludlow streets was fifteen
feet deep. From windows in
the hotels and business blocks, hundreds
of the marooned begged pitily
for rescue and food. The oarsmen
said they saw no bodies floating on
the flood tide, but declared that many
persons must have perished in the
water's sudden rush through the
streets.
Oarsmen who worked into the outskirts
of the business section Wednesday
night reported that 2 5 0 persons
marooned in the Arcade building,
and 2 00 imprisoned in the Y. M.
C. A. building wore bogging for water.
A shortage of provisions was
threatened Wednesday afternoon
when it was reported many relief
trains, bound to Dayton from neighboring
cities had been stopped by
high water. Every grocer in the city
had been "sold out" before noon. It
was believed that the relief trains
might creep in during the night.
Encouragement was received Wednesday
night in a message from the
mayor of Springfield, who said he
was sending six big trucks loaded
wltli provisions tliat should reacn
Dayton early Thursday. With the
arrival of motor boats Wednesday
night it was hoped to begin to distribute
provisions among the marooned
soon after daylight. Messages from
the flood's prisoners in the business
section, said children were crying
for milk, while their elders suffered 1
from thirst that grew hourly.
A phone message from a marooned
man said the Deckel house is burn- '
Ing and Jefferson street is on fire on *
its side from Third street as far down
as the Western Union office. The |
message said refugees, driven from
the places where they had sought
safety from the floods, were leaping
from roof to roof to escape the new
terror. The fire was rapidly approaching
the Home telephone plant, 1
whence came this information. 1
The man said he had rigged up a
telephone and got in on his V&ndalla
'drcnlt. He said the water was near
the third floor of his building and <
that he and about forty others were t
marooned in the fourth story. The l

TIME TO SWAT FLIES.
Now Is the Time to Get Kid of the
Dangerous Pest.
The time to begin the fight on the
files is not after they have taken possession
of everything but at the time
when they are breeding. Now is the
time to remove the places where they
1 J M J
ureeu. rui up yuur Bcreeii uuui# nuu
windows so that they will have no opportunity
to get in. It will be a
whole lot easier to keep them from
ever getting in than it will be to get
them out once they have gotten in.
The following aricle from The Knoxvilie
Sentinel is timely advice:
"Of course one should not weary
of well doing, but after swatting flies
and screening doors and windows,
buying fly paper and getting it stuck
on one's clothes and hair and carpets,
it is a bit tiresome to have a
swarm of flies come in every time
the screen door is opened. The way
to avoid this is for everybody to cut
off the fly from food and lodging, to
divorce him from 'bed and board. If
he and his mate have nowhere to get
a bite or raise their families, they
will not be much of a problem.
"Fly time has come again. The
hardy annuals who survived the winter
in a crack or 011 the cellar ceiling
have stretched their limbs and reappeared
in the kitchen. There are
not many of them yet but quite
enough to supply the neighborhood
later on. There is no way to limit
the numbers of a fly family except to
limit the food they get to eat and the
places (hey have set apart for them
to breed in. A single pair can fill the
world in a year.
"The fly loves to breed in places
that folk do not particularly like.
Madame Fly selects with preference
the uncovered garbage pail, the ru.bblsh
heap, the stable refuse, the unscreened
earth closet. Fermentation
and solar heat relieve her of the responsibility
of hatching the eggs and
the food people, and filth that ought
to be carried away quickly or at
least kept screened and steralized,
supply the nourishment the fly infants
require until they can use their
wings. They usually fly directly to
the kitchen or dining room and carry
with them particles of the unsavory
bed they have grown up in and deposit
it 011 table and kitchen ware,
in the sugar, butter or cream, in the
preserves, on the bread.
"Swat the fly, of course; but that
is the smallest part of the work. Do
not let the fly breed and feed and
persuade your neighbors to follow
your example. You may save a life
from extinction in typhoid, diptheria,
infantile paralysis, tuberculosis, pellagra,
or other dread scourges. In
this food work you can even safely
risk a rebuff."
street where several men were marooned.
The two parties were communicating
by shouting across the
city was burning and the barracks
lying between the hospital and the
northern forts was also in Ilames.
The Bulgarians in strong force gradually
advanced their lines encircling
the city and by several ruches the
infantrymen approached near enough
to prepare for the final dash. On all
sides the combined movement of the
attackers on the ever-resisting city
was continued.
The entire line of fortresses defending
the eastern side of the city
was captured by the Bulgarians after
a most spectacular assault at the
point of bayonet by long lines of infantry,
which were strengthened rapidly
by the second of reserve lines.
Thn onatnrn fnrta anon foil Into thflir
hands and Bulgarian batteries were
immediately placed in position to
concentrate their fire on the other
works. The way was thus cleared
for a direct assault on the city itself.
Shukri, the Turkish commanderin-chief
of Adrianople, committed
suicide after the capture of the city,
according to a news agency dispatch
from Sofia. He had made a most
gallant defence of the post, but he
could not face the humiliation of surrendering
the city and his army to
the Bulgarians, so he took his life.
Adrianople, the former Turkish
capital, withstood the siege of a great
Bulgarian army for over five months,
the first gun having been fired at the
fortress October 5. Shukri Pasha,
the commander-in-chief, had under
him within the encircling forts what
was considered the flower of the
Turkish regular army. The main
portion of the garrison consisted of

added many regiments and batteries
who had been drawn in before the advancing
Riulgarian army.
The fortifications which had been
subjected to almost continuous bombardment
by hundreds of field and
siege guns for about 160 days were
very strong. They consisted of 40
modern forts composing a semi-circle
around the northern half of the
city from east to west with minor
works between. On the south of the
city there was also a series of forts
but much dependence was placed on
the character of the ground there
which was formed by treacherous
marshes.
The city contains about 80,000 inhabitants,
half of whom are Turks
&nd the others Armenians, Israelites
md Greeks.

Food Sufficient to Feed 200,000 Persons
Five Days Ordered Rushed to
the Stricken District ?Also Tents,
Blankets, Field Supplies and Medicines
Are Started on Way.
A dispatch from Washington says
the principal function of the government
of the United States Wednesday
was to extend relief to the thousands
of homeless survivors of the Ohio and
Indiana Hoods.
In quick succession every agency
of the Government, from the President,
the Secretary of War to every
bureau chief in the department, under
whom relief expeditions could be
organized, moved swiftly to assist the
State authorities in providing food,
shelter and medical attention for the
sufferers.
All the troops of the department of
the East were ordered to hold themselves
in readiness for duty in the
llood districts. One million rations,
sufficient to feed 200,000 people for
five days, at least, are being purchased
by the war department at the
nearest supply depots and hurried to
the Ohio and Indiana towns.
Tents to shelter at least 50,000
people, thousands of blankets, cots,
hospital and field supplies, are being
loaded in the Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
St. Louis, Chicago, Fort Thomas, Ky.,
and nearby army posts, and within
twenty-four hours should reach the
devastated sections.
Messages of sympathy exchanged
by the President and the Governor of
Ohio were followed quickly by a se
ries of requests for help which were
promptly answered by the Government
departments. The President
was in his office all day in close touch
with the situation. He was in constant
communication with Secretary
Garrison, of the war department.
He apprised Chairmen Martin, of
the Senate, and Fitzgerald, of the
House appropriations committees,
that the Government was going ahead
with emergency expenditures on the
assumption that Congress would back
up the Administration later on. They
both wired promises of hearty support,
and orders went out on every
side for a gigantic work of relief.
The President called upon the people
of the nation to contribute money
liberally to the American Red Cross,
which in turn appealed to the Governors
of the States to help gather relief
funds.
Majors James Normoyle and James
A. Loean Jr.. experienced in fiehtina
the Mississippi Valley floods, were ordered
by Quartermaster General Aleshire
to Columbus, Ohio, to take
charge of distributing food supplies
for the Federal Government.
Major P. C. Fauntleroy was sent
immediately to Columbus to handle
the medical supplies. Nine medical
ofllcers and fifty-four of the hospital
corps went from the department of
the East, carrying a big supply of
surgical dressings, anti-typhoid prophylactics
and the complete "reserve
medical supply", comprising hundreds
of drugs sufficient to treat 20,000
patients for one month. Precautions
against the spread of disease
are to be handled by sanitation
experts.
Miss Mabel Roardman, of the
American Red Cross, was active at
the headquarters, telegraphing orders
to nurses at Cleveland and Cincinnati
and calling upon other nearby
chapters for physicians and
nurses.
Life-saving crews were ordered
from Louisville to Dayton, and from
Lorraine, Ohio, to Delaware, Ohio,
and the public health service distributed
its agents over the afflicted districts.
Postmaster General Burleson di
rected the department's representatives
to make every possible effort
to stall temporary mail service and
restore the main routes between tho
East and West as rapidly as possible.
Only the railroad routes close to
.l?ake Erie have been getting the
mails through from tho West, and
there has been practically no long
service in tho territory bounding
Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Indianapolis,
Terre Haute, and the Ohio
River. All lines south of the Ohio
are reported open.
?
Express Company to Help.
Announcement was made from the
Charleston oflice of the Southern Express
Company Thursday night that
the company would carry free contributions
of money and shipments of
supplies not exceeding 100 pounds in
weight for the flood sufferers in the
West. All such ocntributions must
be Addressed to the municipal authorities
or relief committees of the
towns to which they are sent.
? ?
Suffering From Cold IVeather.
At Hamilton, Ohio, the loss is estimated
at 250. The loss from flood
and Are is two and a half million,
freezing weather and lack of food is
causing great suffering. The waters
are receding and relief trains are
bringing aid.

A dispatch from Columbus says
Ohio is in the midst of the worst

ing darkness Thursday night brought
no relief to the scores of cities and
towns of the State that are inundated
and cut off from the outside world,
but instead cast a gloom over the
rushing waters, practically thwarted
rescue work and increased the horrors
of the situation. Thousands of
persons are imprisoned by the swoollen
waters.
Although the waters In some places
are reported to be slowly receding
there was no immediate relief in
sight Thursday night, while rain continued
to descend at times in torrents.
So appalling and seemingly
exaggerated were many of the reports
from flooded cities and towns
Thursday that they were disputed,
and in many instances wholly disregarded.
Later reports from these
same sections, however, many times
confirmed what seemed to be wild rumors.
In other cases reports proved
not to be correct.
The various news agencies are
working under great difficulties in
securing accurate reports because of
crippled wire facilities. Many cities
and towns are completely Isolated
and only rumors can be obtained.
These can not be verified until wire
and transportation service is restored.
Although reports of distress and
disaster are coming in from every
section, the greatest damage and loss
of life apparently is at Dayton. Conditions
there beggar description.
While the business section is practically
under water and the estimated
loss of life is appalling, fires are adding
to the terror. jk
The lurid lights from burning AJA
buildings are adding horrors to the
stricken city. Loss of life is estimated
at from hundreds to thousands.
Handicapped efforts at rescue
work Thursday failed to clarify the
puzzling situation regarding loss of
life in Columbus. Many who are considered
conservative place the less
there from iuu to jou. r rora cuaney
comes the report that from VOO
to 500 have been drowned. G%Y^k
Cox said he had information tha*. "
there was no loss of life in Sidney. *
Reports from the southern part of
the state indicate that the situation
there is serious and may result in a
heavy death toll. Zanesville, on the
swollen Muskingum river, according
to reports Thursday night, was largely
under water and several buildings
are reported to have collapsed. Wire
communication was cut off early
Thursday night when the Western
Union Telegraph office was flooded.
The operator's last words were that
the town was under water and that a
building near the telegraph office had
fallen. So runs the news from all
parts of Ohio.

Shoots Cattle During Night.
"Caw Caw," writing to The Calhoun
Advance says: "Some weeks
ago Mr. Henry Rickenbaker'e cattle
were shot during the night. Among
them was a cow with a very young
calf was killed. Will no arrest be
made in this matter? It would pay
the community to hire a detective.
There is a law for taking up cattle
and a law for damages. A man who
will go out into the darkness and kill
a neighbor's cattle will go out into
the darkness and kill the owner of
the cattle if he takes spite against
him. The principal is the same,
takes a bad heart to kill an innocent
cow with a new-born calf. Such conduct
should be handled and given to
understand that there is some law in
this country."
House Full of Bodies.
Twelve bodies were recovered in>a*
single house in the southern part of
Peru, Ind., Thursday afternoon. This
was taken to indicate that the loss of
life in that section of the city was
great, as it was there that dwellings
were completely submerged before
the occupants could vacate.
