ADDITIONAL SOCIETY
TO GIVE OPERA.

The Feast of the Red Corn" an
American Indian operetta will be Civ
en- by the Young Ladies of the ST. An
drew's parish Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings, April first and second
in ST. Andrews auditorium.
Argument.
Act J.
The maidens of the Wanta Tribe of
Indians gathered every year in seclud-
ed spot to celebrate THE Feast of the
Red Corn" The one who finds the first
red ear expresses her dearest wish to
the Sorceress ian old squaw of the
tribe) who calls upon the gods of the
Four Winds to grant the wish.
The Queen, Weeda Wanta. joins the
maidens this year, hoping to get word
from her husband who has been alb
sent long time.
The squaw declares that no wish
will be granted this year because of
some crime. The blame is fixed upon
the queens sister, Impee Light, mis-
chievous maiden. She is threatened
with burning at the stake but is saved
by the queens Intervention. Night
falls.
Act II.
At dawn Impee Light entertains the
queens children-Fudgee, Wudgee and
Pudgee-and the maidens with The
Tale of the Three Little Bears" The
queen then suggests that they take a
canoe ride before celebrating the feast
and expresses the hope that the Four
Winds will give some sign that the
wish will be granted. While riding in
the canoe, Impee Light and the queens
children play joke on them upset
ting the canoe in shallow water and
coming up under the canoe. The queen
and maidens return and lament the
death. The children are brought in on
stretchers and the queen and maidens
learn that it was a joke. The queen in
sists that Impee Light has said the
children, and the Four Winds must
therefore grant the wish.
The squaw calls upon the winds;
the queen finds the first red ear and
sees a vision of her king.

ROCKVILLE
SAID TO Be
A SUFFERER

All efforts to confirm the report of
a heavy loss of life in Brookville, on
the Whitewater river south of Rich
mond, were fruitless today, owing to
the fact that wires out of Richmond In
that direction are completely prostrat-
ed. An Indianapolis dispatch early
this morning says:
Heavy loss of life at Brookville was
reported in a message received yester-
day afternoon by Ed Singer, clerk
in the auditor of states office, from
the county assessor of Franklin Coun-
ty The message had been sent over
CoHnersyille.
All communications with Brookville,
according to reports from Connersville
was broken off soon after the message
came to Mr.. Singer, and all efforts to
gain further information concerning
the loss of life reported in the meager
dispatch failed.
Mr.. Singer formerly lived at Brook
vile, and he was much concerned last
night about the safety of friends and
relatives. The message to Mr.. Sting
er, containing the only information
from Brookville obtainable last night,
read as follows:
Reports Heavy Loss Of Life.
"Levee broke. Valley flooded, with
heavy loss of life. Paper mill Destroy
ed, depot swept away, all bridges out.
Tell the Governor"
Governor Ralston was notified at
once, and he Immediately made at
tempts both by telephone and tele-
graph to learn if state aid were re-
CURED. The Governor expressed hope
the loss of life had not been as great
as reported He was unable to get
additional news.
Mr.. Singer said that a portion of
the town of Brookville is situated on
high land, though large number of
families live in the valley through
which the water swept.

If headachy, bilious, dizzy, tongue
coated, stomach sour and full of gas,
you belch undigested food and feel
sick and miserable, it means that your
liver is choked with sour bile and
your thirty feet of bowels are clogged
with effete waste matter not properly
carried off. Constipation is worse
than most folks believe. 1t means
that this waste matter in the thirty
feet of bowels decays into poisons,
gasses and acids and that these pois-
ons are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which should
suck only nourishment to sustain the
body.
Most people dread physic. They
think of castor OIL salts and cathartic
pills. They shrink from the after
effeets-so they postpone the dose
until they get sick; then they do this
liver and bowel cleansing in heroic
way-they have a bowel washday-

Hair Turning Gray or Falling?
Just Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur

druggists make their own but it's usu-
ally too sticky, so insist upon getting
'Wyeth's" which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is the best remedy for
dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and
to stop falling hair.
Folks like ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur' because no one can positively
tell that you darkened your hair. as it
does it SO naturally and evenly, says
well known downtown druggist. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. This requires
but a few moments, by morning the
gray hair disappears and after another
application or two is restored to its
natural color and looks even more
beautiful and glossy than ever.

SITUATION IN DAYTON.

SITUATION IN DAYTON.
DAYTON, O., March 26.-This city
is river three miles wide. The water
from six to twenty feet deep, extends
mile and a half each way from Main
street, the principal business thor
oughfare. The deepest water is in the
business section. Only remote suburbs
escaped being covered by the seething
flood.
The crest was reached shortly after
midnight and the water is now falling
half an inch an hour.
The flooded district comprises a
practical circle, with a radius of a
mile and half, and in no place is the
water less than six feet deep.
The worst of the flooded districts
includes all of North and West Day
ton, all of the downtown sections, the
South Side as far as lakewood and all
Of the residence suburb of Glendale.
The district has normal population
Of more than $4,000.
MAY NOT BE EXAGGERATED.
Rescuers and those at the hospitals
said an estimate of 5000 dead might
be as accurate as an estimate of 100.
While those marooned in the Off
ees and hotels are in no immediate
danger OF drowning, there is no way
food or drinking water can reach them
until the water recedes.
Those In the residences, however,
are In constant danger, both by flood
and fire. First the Trailer buildings
were swept into the stream, many
showing the faces of women and chill
dren peering from tn windows.
NO HOUSES ARE SAFE.
These were followed by more SUBJ
seantial brick buildings until it became
evident that no house in the flood
zone was safe.
The houses, as rule, floated only
few blocks until disintegrated.
The flood came soon after daylight
yesterday morning, after the residents
had spent a night in terror.
The main levee of the Big Miami
broke at Webster street about 8
o'clock. An hour later the water was
through in dozen places and a wall
Of water ten feet deep swept through
the main street just above the juno

AT Belgrade Lakes it was learned
that Bishop had arrived at the Tillson
place at about 6 o'clock, Monday aft
ernoon, and had wanted Mr.. Tillsor to
buy the pony. The price asked for the
pons and fittings was $50, but Bishop
is alleged to have said that he would
let the animal go for $25 down and the
balance at some future time. He is also
alleged to have said that he bought
the pony of MIR. Stilkey for 800 and
that his reason for selling the animal
was that he had got sick of him.
Mr.. Tillson knew the pony and sug-
gested to Bishop that he put the ami
NAL up for the night in his (Tillson's)

this, aud that was the last seen of him
by Mr. Tillson. Bishop did not put in

has not been seen since.
