WOULD RAISE WOLVES.

A contributor to an agricultural pa
per that the writer was scanning the
other day recited the fact that In the
vicinity in which he lived the wolves
were 80 troublesome that It was not
worth while trying to raise sheep. and
in closing he suggested that the state
pay bounty Of $40 per head for every
wolf killed. This might do the busi-
ness, but If this man and his neigh
bors are at all like some grangers
whom the writer knows this proposed
large bounty would merely result in q
lot Of farmers going into the business
of raising wolves for the bounty. with
the raising Of sheep put a good deal In
the shade. This matter of bounty for
wolves, except In rare instances, seems
to be Of very questionable expediency.

Dayton, O., March 27.-Flames
that destroyed eight buildings in
Dayton's submerged business section
last night cast a red, weird glow
over the flood-stricken city That
added to the fears of thousands of
refugees and marooned persons, and
led to apprehension that there may
have been many Of the waters pris-
oners in burned buildings.
Soon afterward notice, was posted
in headquarters of the emergency
committee announcing that the
city was under martial law and sew
eral companies of soldiers arriving
from neighboring Ohio cities, march
ed into the city. The soldiers were
employed to patrol edges of the
burned district and prevent further
looting of homes freed from the
floods grasp. Up to late hour to-
day there had been no material dis
order.
Rescue squads worked frantically
today to throw back the veil that
hides the true story Of the Dayton
number of dead. Late
last night the arrival of motor boats
gave hope that today the northern
section OF the city, now cut off by
the Great Miami's impossible bar
rier may be penetrated, and then
may be learned the fate of hundreds
by the torrent that pour
ed down from the broken reservoir.
Fire that appeared to threaten
the business section last night was
confined to the block bounded by
Second and Third streets and Jeffer-
son and st. Clair streets. In the
block are the Fourth National bank,
Lattiman Drug company, Evans
Drug company and sew
sral commission houses. 1t was i'm

New York, March 28.-A sum-
mary of Dayton conditions from the
American Telephone and Telegraph
station says:
Zone of our employees who has
just returned from the north side
of the submerged district Of Dayton
says the people are huddled in the
churches and public school build
ings which are in danger of collap-
sing. Three babies were born in
one church. One was born in boat
while the mother was being con-
veyed to Onfety. Such scenes are
common.
There is a school building said
to contain 500 persons and the in
dications were last night that 1t
would collapse soon. Two men seen
using a pleasure boat to view the
scene we're pressed into rescue serv-
i've by the police at the points Of
shotguns.
MANY buildings in the down town
section have burned but the fire
seemed to subside with the heavy
rain last night.

Martial Law in Force and Saloons
Are Closed.

indianapolis, Ind, March 2S.-
Governor RaIston issued orders de
recting Company B of Crawfords-
vile, and Company L, both Of the
Second regiment Indiana National
Guard, to come to this city at once
and the company at Anderson was
directed to be in readiness to move
here on short notice. This action
followed a visit Of Mayor Shank,
who requested the governor to place
the state in complete control OF
West indianapolis.
Company A of Indianapolis was
sent into the flooded district In q
special train over the Belt railroad,
the men under fun arms and carry
ing ball cartridges, having orders
to prevent looting and vandalism at
whatever cost.
Mayor Shank ordered all saloons
in the immediate vicinity OF White
river to close and later may order
the closing of all saloons in the
city.
Governor Ralston, who is making
an investigation Of rumors that
merchants are raising the price Of
edibles, is very indignant and speak
ing of the affairs, said:
II will do anything that is nee
essary to protect our people against
these exorbitant prices"
He declined to discuss the mat

Investigation.

water has receded so as to make II
possible in many. places to proceed

Big Miami river relief work was
taken up by a committee headed by
Chief Allaback.
All the grocery stores were COM
mandeered and although in most
cases the goods were covered with
water. sufficient supplies were found
to prevent great suffering among
those in the interior dry strip.
While there may be many deaths
in individual homes, which have
been without food or drink, there
was no place but the workhouse
where any considerable number of
people were held without food.
None had enough, but no case APP
preaching actual starvation was
found.
knowledge that the death list Is
likely to prove SO low in the down
town section today gave rise to Q
hope that even in North Dayton
about which nearly all hope had
been abandoned, there might be
few deaths.
The progress Of the first canoe
into the water bound districts was
greeted by appeals for bread and
water. In nearly every house left
wistful faces were to be
seen pressed against window panes.
All people were asked whether there
had been any deaths and with few
exceptions they replied there had
lot been.
Although heartened by news from
he flood zone interior, Governor
Jox's secretary, George Burba, was
hardly able to credit the assertion.

Iouthern district, he was unable to |

NOW COCA COLA RErREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale Of Coca Cola has been
explained In many different ways. Some
have attributed Il TO good advertis-
ing" others TO efficient management"
others, to its delicious favor and still
others to the fact that II was the first In
the field Of "trade.marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion OF q
manufacturing chemist who has analyS-
ed Coca Cola and studied It's history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity OF the drink
in large part TO It's quality OF refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition Of Coca Cola Is practically
Identical with that OF coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence OF tannio
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments Of DR.. Holling-
worth OF Columbia University and OF
DR.. H. G. Wood, Jr. Of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages (conee, tea,
Coca-C Cola, etc. relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group Of beverages diner
from the stimulants in that the use OF
the latter il followed by period Of de-
precision which calls for more stimula-
ton, thus resulting in the formation OF
Q habit.
