INDIANA AND OHIO
 SWEPT BY FLOOD
PROPERTY LOSS MILLIONS
WIRE COMMUNICATIONS CUT OFF IN MANY INSTANCES,
 ELIMINATING DETAILS.

Chicago, March 26.-Reports con- cerning the appalling nature of the floods in Ohio and Indiana, which in most instances it was impossible to verify, were received last night from widely sources. The most Fserious of these were:
 A report that 1000 lives had been lost at Dayton and 800 at Piqua.
 A report apparently more fully au- thenticated from Indianapolis that from 200 to 800 had been drowned at Peru, Ind.
 Late reports from Delaware, O.. said that 75 to 100 were dead. More conservative reports cut these esti- mates in half.
 Floods almost unprecedented in area, following the tornadoes and rains of the last three days, yesterday swept four states of the Mississippi valley, causing loss of life that may reach into the thousands and damage to property amounting to many mil lions of dollars.
 i Ohio and Indiana, and in lesser degree, Illinois and Missouri, felt the brunt of the disaster.
 At Dayton more than 1000 persons are reported drowned, following the breaking of the Miami river levee and the Laramie reservoir, 50 miles above the city. Marooned in office buildings in the center of the town, hundreds of persons are vainly awaiting res cue. Streets heretofore considered miles from the danger line, are run ming eight feet of water, the torren. tial force of which precludes rescue in boats
 From Indianapolis came reports of 100000 homeless throughout Indiana and property loss reaching the enor- nous figure of $20, 1000, ,000 in cities towns and villages alone This does not include the losses to farmers. The loss of life, while not so great as in Ohio, has not yet been estimated The climax of the flood in Ohio was reached at Dayton, where it was re- ported last night that the water is from 20 to 40 feet deep in many of the streets; that bodies were floating past the windows of office buildings and that the catastrophe assumed the proportions of tidal wave. Richmond is in darkness and 20 bridges p Wayne county were de- stroyed.
 At Nashville, half million dollars of damage was done in the business and residence districts.
 At Kokomo, the property loss was estimated at $1,000,000 and 500 per sons are living in the second stories of their houses. Anderson, Marion, Tip ton, Noblesville and Peru reported loss

"AS YOU LIKE ITS" MEET.

The "As You Like It" Club met at the residence of Miss Laura Harton Monday afternoon. All the elements could not conspire against the girls, for the hostess held open house in a very charming manner. Here spon- taneity awoke the spirit of the girls to fun "any way you like it." The program was as follows: Light fun, light talk, light work and an all- round recreative program for girls. Dainty refreshments were served.

Of life.

Of life.
 Numerous fires have been burning all through Dayton and several of the buildings were burned to the waters edge.
 The wire chief at Dayton refused to put any estimate on the loss of life.
 Efforts to go to the relief of those towns have been made from various directions and all have been unsuc- cessful owing to the fact that bridges were washed out.

Mrs. w. E. Clibourn, who has been confined at St. Vincent's Infrmary Little Rock, for the past few weeks, caused from surgical operation, is convalescing nicely, and it is now very probable that she will be able to re- turn home within the next week or 10 days. It was thought for some time after the operation that Mrs. Clibourn could not survive.
