Hundreds Die
In Ohio Floods

Floods covering an almost un-
precedented area, following the tor
nadoes and rains of three days,
swept over the four states of the
Mississippi valley, Tuesday, causing
loss of life that will reach thou
sands. and damage to property that
will mount into the millions. Ohio
and Indiana and in a lesser degree
Illinois and Missouri, felt the brunt
of the disaster. At Dayton, Ohio,
hundreds are reported drowned, fol-
lowing the breaking of the Miami
river levee, and the Laramie reser-
voir, fifty miles above the city.
Late reports from the flooded dis
tricts in the middle west show that
the number of persons drowned in
all the affected cities in Ohio and In
diana may not exceed 500. Many
persons are vet missing, but ii is be-
lieved they are safe and will even
tually be located. In Dayton, care
full estimates place the number Of
dead at 200 or fewer, although the
meeting of undertakers asserted that
the number might reach 500.
Columbus will have the next largest
loss of life, so bodies having already
been found in the flooded portions of
West Columbus.
With the situation somewhat
alleviated in the flood-swept districts
of Ohio and Indiana, a new menace
threatens in the rise of rivers in the
southern valley of both states. At
Cincinnati. the Ohio, swelled by its
tributaries, caused alarm and. al
though the situation had not yet
reached an acute stage, reports from
Kentucky towns indicated that warn
ing had been issued to the in
habitants to seek points of safety
from the rising water.
In Indiana alarm was felt in the val
leys of the Ohio, Wabash and White
rivers, but ample warning serv-
ed in a measure to reduce the panic
In Illinois Governor Dunno has
been asked for troops to protect the
leyee at Sheweetown. The levee has
broken near Petersburg, but there
has been no loss of life.
The rise of the water in the
stricken districts. was so rapid that
people were caught like rats in a
trap, and in innumerable instances
were literally overwhelmed bv the
flood. The climax of the flood was
reached at Dayton, where 1t is re-
ported that the water was from
twenty to forty feet deep in many
streets. Bodies We're floating past

 ALASKAN GoLDFIELDs.

the Senate committee at Wash ington is any criterion, Alaska is another example of the famil- far truth that real wealth of goldfield is never fully demOn- strated until the ruSheS have subsided and the properties are worked on a commercial basis. The rich strikes made by the pioneers are the magnets that draw people from all parts of the world, but a mining district is never fully proven until it has attracted sufficient capital to work deposits that would be un- profitable to the individual pros pector. In this connection the San Francisco Chronicle, in re- cent issue, commented editorial ly as follows:
 There have been various 'stam- pedes to places described as the richest auriferous areas on the globe, but, failing to furnish an inducement to the ,mining 'inr vestor, they have not added very materially to the worlds gold supply. The reason for this is that, while the rich finds may make individual fortunes, they do not figure so prominently in the returns as the metal obtained by capital out of poorer deposits. It is the gold that pays divl- dends that looms largest in the statistics, and because it repre- sents production on a large scale.
 For years the mines of south Africa headed the list of produc- tion, and they are striking Il- lustration of gigantic combina- lions of capital making rnor- nous profits out of ore which averages a smaller percentage of the precious metal than fields more attractive tU the prospect or.
 That Alaska has attracted large combinations of capital sufficient to prove 1t one or the richest gold fields in the world Is already known. but the most op- optimistic estimate fell short or that made by Joslin at NaSh- ington. He speaks of a placer area that will not be exhausted in thousand years, and of thousands of miles of country rich in both placer and quartz. There is nothing in romance more stirring to the imagination, and yet each of his statements is fortified by details giving pre- sunptivc rvidrl cr 'of sober truth.
 The most striking feature of his report is that in Alaska they are working. for the most part. only the gravrlS that will carry from S3 tu 10 yard, whereas i'm California we WOrK them down to a value of : cents a yard. In few areas they ard dredging on a lower. basis, but the lowest of these is six times higher than the paying minimum in Calif"r- mia.
 With adequate transportation and coal mining, Alaska would be able to tap supplies of gold practically incNhasutible, and as California cannot fail to share largely in her prosperity, It is in the best interests of this state to aid the territory in every req sonabIe appeal to congress.-- Goldfeld (NeN.

CHANCE FOR DECATUR COUNTY
BOY.
Eighth District Will Send Cadet TO
West Point Next Year. n

The opportunity presents itself for
some Decatur county boy who pos
sesses the required qualifications to
obtain the appointment to the Unit
ed State Military Academy at West
Point next year. The information
has been given out that the Eighth
Congressional district of Iowa Is en-
titled to send a cadet to this military
academy next year, and no doubt
number of young men from Decatur
county who have desires along this
line will become candidates for the
place.
Congressman II. M. Towner will
nominate candidates. .s g.. ..
These nominations are made a
year in advance, or in June of this
year, and any one who wishes to be
a candidate should write to Judge
Towner at once at Washington. The
candidate must be between II and
% years of age at the time Of admis-
sion and must be able to pass rigid
physical examination. The mental
examination covers much the same
ground as the ordinary college en-
trance requirements. Judge Towner
will probably hold competitive pre-
liminary examination to decide be-
tween the candidates sometime in
June.

Seeking Relief From Illness, Farmer
Drank Half of Contents Of
q Poison Phial.

Mstaking carbolic acid for inter,
which he sought to relieve an illness
lin the darkness of his bedroom last
Sunday night, William P. Bryan, a
prominent young farmer living eight
miles northeast of Mercer, drank
half of the contents of the poison
phial, and thirty minutes later was
dead. He had been suffering from
kidney trouble and was taking inter
for relief.
+ Mr. Bryan and his wife drove to
Lineville last Sunday night and at
tended services at the South Metho-
dist church. They arrived at their
home about midnight, Mr.. Bryan had
been feeling bad, and some moments
after they had gone to bed he arose.
it is said, to take some medicine.
Mrs. Bryan believes he made a mis-
take in the dark and got the wrong
bottle. A four ounce bottle of car
bolic acid was on the table and he
swallowed about half of this.
After taking the fatal draught, Mr..
Bryan uttered but one word Call
ing his wife's name, he turned from
the table, dropped the bottle and fell
across the bed in which Mrs. Bryan
lay He was unable to speak more,
his throat being paralyzed by the
burning liquid. Mrs. Bryan was just
doing off to sleep and was not fully
conscious at the time as to what
was taking place. A physician was
hurriedly called but he arrived too
late to be Of any assistance.
Mr., and Mrs. Bryan lived with the
lady's father, T. H. Porter. He was
about IS years old and had one
child. He was member of the
Methodist church and stood we'll in
the community. Funeral services
were held at the South Methodist
church in Linevil1e, last Tuesday,
being conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Whitworth. Interment was in the

$4,000 r. o. JOBS OPENED TO
TESTS. E3
All Fourth Glass Places Paying $3.50
or More are Put in the Civil n
Service.

All fourth-class postmasterships,
except those paying less than $3.50
a year, were thrown open to COM
petitive examination by President
Wilson last week.
These positions are retained in
the classified service, but about So
900 incumbents, who were covered
into the classified service by execu-
tive orders of previous administra-
tons, will have to meet all corners
in competitive examination in order
to hold their positions with civil SER
vice protection.
In a statement making this order
public, Postmaster General Burleson
announced that it was the purpose OF
President Wilson and himself to ex-
tend the classified service to include
presidential postmasters of the Sec
ond and third class, probably within
a year. This may require legislation
by congress, he said.
His plan, which soon will be laid
for qualification test to incum.
bents and applicants Gin keeping
with the Importance of the offices. y
Under President Taft's order of Oct
Is, 1912, fourth-class pOstmasters
were divided into two classes, Glass
A, those drawing more than $500
and Glass B, those drawing less than
$500.
Competitive examinations were
prescribed for future applications for
Class A appointments while the
Glass B positions were to be filled
upon recommendation of the Post
Office inspectors.
President Wilson's order leaves
only the offices paying $3.50 or less
to be filled upon inspectors reports
Rules and regulations to govern
the administration of the new order
soon will be worked out by the civil
service commission.
