Terrible Catastrophe.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, March 26.-With
more than 100000 driven from their
homes, whole towns laid waste, and
loss Of life that cannot be estimated
today. Ohio faced a flood that showed
no signs of abatement.
Reports that reached Columbus
from the different stricken cities were
meager, because railroad facilities
were paralyzed and only occasionally
was Columbus able to get telegraph
or telephone connection.
This is one of the most terrible
catastrophes in the history of Ohio, .
said Governor Cox early today.
After working all night in the adju-
tant-generaIs Office in the state house,
officers of the Ohio national guard
reported this morning that they had
succeeded in assembling $500 militia

BALKAN WAR SCENES
At ROYAL THEATRE
Real Battle Scenes Taken on
the Firing Line at the Bat
tie of Iulle Burgas

The immense irowds that attended
the Royal Theatre last night witness
ed a real treat I'm the form OF real
battle scenes which we're taken on
the battle field at the battle of Lalle
Burgas, the greatest and most disas-
trous battle that has thus far hem
fought in the great Balkan war
There have been many battle scenes
shown in the production OF historical
pictures but this is the first picture
OF a real battle ever seen in the Wac
rem district This noted battle was a
victory for the Balkans and the last
scene shows the Turks in hasty re-
treat going directly toward the spot
where the Camera man was located
and as the shells are dropped close
on the heels OF the fleeing Turks the
picture ends abruptly showing that
the picture man too realized his dan
ger and beat a hasty retreat out Of
the line of fire. In viewing these
thrilling and realistic scenes one can
realize the danger ever imminent IN
the production of pictures OF this kind
as the camera must be located close
TO the field of action in order TO OBJ
tain good views % the movements
which are as a rule very rapid and
difficult to record owing to the gin.
which is not always favorable for the
taking OF pictures.
These views win be shown again
today and tomorrow and are we'll
worth seeing
