COLUMBUS, o., Mar. 27-With a
binding snow storm and the tenn
perature falling, gnawed by hunger
and suffering from cold, the thousands
of food sufferers throughout Ohio to-
day faced the uncertainty which the
freezing temperature was adding to
their plight.
Although some of the earlier re-
ports said flood waters were receding
slowly, there was little change in the
flood height. The water was still al
such height as to maroon the suffer-
ers, many of whom were i'll from the
exposure attendant to a night in the
open clinging to some point of want
age above the murky waters. Some
spent the night in trees and many
others on house tops. All were fac

sleet and snow.
Dayton Fire RACES.
Early reports from Dayton indicated
that the fire which during the night
had wrought destruction and prob
ably added to the death toll was rag
ing again. Its extent was uncertain
and there seems to be little chance OF
human Interference owing to the lack
of fire lighting facilities.

DAYTON, o., Mar. ~ Further
danger from floods was. passing to-
day but the apprehension of great
loss OF life from famine. exposure
and sickness was growing hourly.
Thelit Hood waters receded three feet
this morning and it was expected
that by nightfall thoseIof the thous-
ands in the down town section woult

Four motor boats arrived from
Cincinnati and were taken to the
water edge and an effort was made
TO extend Immediate relieflief to the
most urgent cases known. Already
there are constantly increasing ru-
mors of
Great Numbers of Dead
in all parts of the city, but the ract
remains .there can be no actual
knowledge nor intelligent estimate
of the extent of the fatalities at this
time.
George r. Burba, representing
Governor Cox, today telgraphed the
governor urging that special empha-
sis be given the great need for inn
mediate supplies of provisions.
There is not full days food supply
in the city.
Big Death List.
"If the death list is only 1000 I will
consider 1t a marvellous dispensation,'
telegraphed Mr.. Burba to the COVER
nor. IF 1T is 10000 l win not be sur
prised. Horrible as this is the real
suffering wifi grow worse for days.
There are 10000 homeless. The refu-
gees are being fed from hand 10
mouth. There is no water and there
is no light. Probably within day
the bodies of thousands of horses will
lie decomposing in the muddy streams
and it will be impossible even to care
for the bodies OF human beings"
The crowded north side of the river
where it is feared thousands of
Foreigners May Be Dead
or dying is still far beyond reach. No
one speaks of it, the immediate needs
of the known survivors ealing for
every attention. If the downtown sec
ton is not relieved by tonight some
thing may be done for the North Side
tomorrow. The only railroads operat-
ing into Dayton is the solitary rail
roda of the Dayton, Lebanon and Gin
cinnati. over which a single train
creeps. 1t takes twelve hours for a
train to come from Cincinnati, dis
lance of only fifty miles.

during the early hours of the third
day of the flood any estimate of the

after the reservoir broke. Few es-

CURES RHEUMATISM
QUICKLY EASES STIFF, SORE,
SWOLLEN JOINTS AND MUSCLES
DRIVES RHEUMATIC PAINS
AWAY.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
easily avoid it,
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and cant
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
coyery, CroXone, does this because it
neutrali2es and dissolves the poison
Gus substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter the poison from the
blood, and drive it on and out of the
system
CroXone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find it
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like 1t.
1t matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it is prac-
tically impossible to take it into the
human system without results. You
will find relief from the first few dos
cs, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxone
cosrs but a trile at any first class
drug store, All druggists are author
lied TO sell it on positive money
back guarantee. Three doses day
for few days is often all that is ever
needed to cure the worst backache or
overcome urinary disorders.

CLAIMS GOVERNOR
JUGGLED FIGURES
House Investigating Committee Makes
Warm RepOrt-COndemns the
Penitentiary Parole System.

The report of the house committee
appointed to investigate conditions at
the state penitentiary, introduced in
the legislature today, hands Governor
West some warm shots.
The governors parole system is at
tackled on the ground that, under his
system of paroling prisoners to certain
individuals, he does not require them
to remain in the same locality with
those paroled, and that the prisoners
so where they please, and do as they
please, and when the time comes to
make a report as to their behavior they
send a written report to their guar
dians, who sends the report to the gov
enor, being entirely unaware of wheth-
er the statements they have signed are
true or false.
The hardest thrust in the report is
made at the governor relative to the
profits resulting from the operating Of
the brick yard at the pen" The com
mittee says that the statements made
in table No. 4, on page 16 Of the gov
ernor's biennial report are absolutely
false, and that instead Of $4535.95 be-
ing the amount received for the sale of
100000 bricks on hand January /,
1911, 1t should be $S6SO99, or, in other
words, that sales of brick at SO and $40
per thousand, instead of being credited
to the previous administration have
been juggled so as to show a profit
under the management Of the present
governor,
Several other instances are men
toned in which the governor is ac-
cused of Juggling funds, in order to
show that his prison policies are
working to advantage.
The report says that 1t is not the
opinion of the committee that funds
have been used for private purposes,
but simply that they have been unlaw-
fully iuggled around 50 as to make the
administration reports appear to ad-
vantage.
The house committee consists of
Lewelling, Smith and Laughln.
