the following report on the flood sit.
uation in Dayton:
"Forty thousand persons must be
fed, clothed and housed for a week
more.
MANY good persons, who lost their
all when their household goods were
swept away, must be cared for indef-
initely. They must be provided with
a few necessary household articles,
such as bedding, pots and pans,
stoves and few dollars. A half
million dollars could be used in this
way by the relief committee.
Fifteen houses and business
buildings must be rehablitated.
1.-TWO thousand houses and other
structures, or what remains of them,
must be pulled down.
Thousands of tons of debris must
be removed.
Following are some of the ac-
complishments since the flood broke
over the city Tuesday morning.
The waterworks pumping sta
tion IS in operation, but TIE distribu-
tion of water is greatly retarded by
open pipes in wrecked houses. The
pressure is feeble but growing strong

THE main sanitary sewer is in
operation, although many of the lat

Since the detailed announcement in
The Sunday Ardmoreite the Contes;
Editor has been quite busy answer
ing telephone calls, writing letters
and attending personal interviews
relative to the mammoth popular
subscription voting contest which
will start off Wednesday next, April
?. The unusual early interest in
this great campaign, according t0
several prospective candidates, is the
fact that the premium list is much
larger than usual, the rules of the
contest simple and fair to all, ana
above all. the opportunities presented
are far greater than hretofore in
any contest.
Impossibility of Losing Popular.
Several OF the persons interviewed
today were loud in their praise Of
the non-losing feature of this great
campaign Some told of contests in
which their friends had participated
IN former years, and after working
diligently from start to finish-lost
out at the last moment and did not
receive even a penny for their ef
forts-but in this contest everybody
wins something. Every candidate IL
more than repaid for the work ac E
complished, and the more effort pat
forth the greater the reward. Re-
member, all candidates who fail TO
win at least one of the sixteen granl
premiums, will receive cash COM
mission on all subscription money
turned in by them.
Premium List Is Attractive.
The premium list selected seems
to meet with the heartiest approval
on all sides. Not one prospective
candidate who talked to the Contest
Editor today was in the least dis
appointed in the sixteen premium 5
offered Some of course, stated they
would try for the autos, others desire
those ever -enticing trips to the
Rockies during the hot summer
months, while many seem satisfied
to win any of the diamond rings,
business courses or handsome twenty
year gold watches, and still others
will be content to receive the cash
commission if they fail TO come with
in the premium list.

Little Ro>k, March 26.--"After a has been issued calling a special election, and after the ; Democratic Central Committee has met and issued call for primary, then l will issue a statement offer ing myself as a candidate before the people for the high office of Cover nor" stated Stephen S. Brunddge of Searcy, on Tuesday night.
 The statement of MT. Brundd9e was made after an all afternoon consultation with friends in Little Rock, whom he had come to the city to meet.
 q doubt if there has ever a man gone into the race for Governor with the motives and principles that l have" continued Mr. Brundidge, 'or at least, in recent years. Never since I was 21 years of age has a proposi- thought as this one. No person can imagine the number of messages which have poured in on me since there became possibility of an cleo tion to fill the office of Governor.
 My law practice nets me many thousand dollars annually more than I could make out of the office of governor, and it has been problem l to me, with the debt l owe my family as to whether I should give this up But the demands have been So in sistent, and my closest friends have urged it so strongly, that I have de- cided I will make the personal sac- rifice and become a candidate. The messages I have received, came from people who no doubt thought the state has been outraged in official ac- tions of the past few months.
 "After the call for the election has been issued, will make formal announcement of my platform or the principles for which I stand and up- on which I will make my race for Governor" "
 | MT. Brundidge arrived in Little Rock after noon Tuesday and immed- lately became the center of one group right after another. The men who composed the groups were not the political regulars who flock about candidates when they come to the city, but prominent men of Little Rock and others towns of the state. ] It was stated during the morning that Thomas c.

Dublin, March 25.-Society here is in flutter of delight, and expectancy over the forthcoming ball to be given at the Royal Hospital on April 2, by Lady Paget, who was Miss Paran Stevens, of New York. Lady Paget and her husband, General Sir Arthur Paget are celebrated for their hos pitality Society at the Irish capital is particularly delighted because the functions given by the Viceroy and Lady Aberdeen are notoriously dull, and there is usually not sufficient refreshments for the guests. Lady Paget's ball will be the first large function she has given in Ireland.
 Lady Pagets daughter, who is also a Lady Paget, having married dis tant relative, Sir Ralph Paget-is talk ing a rest cure at the house of Lady de Lisle. Young Paget worked SC heroically in the military hospitals during the Balkan war that she al most ruined her health. As girl she was almost completely eclipsed by her brilliant mother but as q married woman she has blossomed forth, into a charming and distinctive personality.

100. The Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio tracks has been washed out. All wires are dawn and the town is completely isolated.
 Reports received from all sections in the district show that Dayton has been by far the worst sufferer. The crest of the flood is reported as hav- ing passed Dayton, where the weather bureau announced that heavy rains or snowstorms are to follow tonight, which will tend to increase the flood waters.
 The first news received from Day ton today telling of the disaster dis closed the fact that a large number of persons were caught unawares. The greater loss of life occurred in North Dayton and Riverdale suburbs.
 The topography of the city made it impossible for hundreds to escape when the waters poured over the city. Those that were not drowned or swept away, were marooned in build ings and on house tops.
 Terror reigned among the maroon ed persons as building after building was swept from it's foundation and collapsed, carrying many persons down with the debris into the water.
 Two hundred floating bodies have been recovered from the water. The small number of boats in the city and the inability of many to cope with the fast flowing waters has pre- vented the relief work from proceed ing as fast as conditions required.
 Reports received here today con- corning the loss of life, indicate that the first estimate will not be greatly diminished.
 A report reached Wolf Creek, two miles from Dayton this afternoon that the loss of life on the south side ol the city, which contains the business district and a more thickly section is said to have been tremendous and that the water has reached higher level in that section than in any other in the city and as yet no esti
