ed. These offers came from nearly
every section Of the country and we're
made Internationally.
The greatest work today was that
Of organizing a systematic relief b.
reau with seven branch stations n
the territory covered BY the. tornado
These stretched over a strip sever
miles long and those in charge Of r.
lief stations handed uot material at-
sistance to all Corners who were able
to show they were in need Of aid.
Relief Work Organized.
The city and state have either
made or prepared to make appropria-
tons to meet all emergency cases.
and relief corps are being organized
to care for every case resulting in
restitution. In addition to this,
newspapers and numerous other insti-
tutions have started subscription lists
which already bring the total avail
able relief to nearly 5000, 900.
City Commissioner Ryder To-Day
stated that Omaha and Nebraska
would be able to care for their own.
He, however, expressed his grateful
appreciation for these offers which,
he declared, indicated the great mp
terest the outside world was taking
in the city in its distress.
Among today's offers were those OF
Mayor Gaynor Of New York, CONNER
cial organizations Of st. Joseph, Bos-
ton. San Francisco. st. Louis, Kansas
City, Detroit, Seattle, st. Paul,
Shreveport, La, and other cities.
Mayors OF all the larger cities Of the
country telegraphed Mayor Dahlman
asking for suggestions as to what
they might do in the work Of relief.
While the destruction Of homes IN
the city was great there was not a.
single large business institution which
suffered a great loss. The, storm
took its toll entirely from the residen'
tial portions Of the city and with the
exceptions Of small stores, groceries,
meat markets and similar shops, the
loss to business was immaterial.

HOUSEHOLD LORE OF VALUE
Some Good Old Rules That Have Been
Handed Down Through Many
Generations.

A capital method Of cleaning copper
pans and kettles is to fill them first

the metal should be polished with .
clean chamois leather.
Garlic juice used to be considered
the best cement for fine china in by
gone days. To extract the juice from Z
the garlics, they we're crushed In q
mortar and then pressed in a piece Of
muslin, the juice being then collected
and painted on to the broken edges

Explosion and Fire.

Wolfe Creek, Ohio, March o.
There has been an explosion in the
middle Of Dayton and the town is on
fire and the loss of life has been In
creased. People are burning up and
We have no way to get to them or
the fire either now"
This was the message from the
Western Union offices this afternoon.
Columbus, Ohio, March 26.-Gover-
nor Cox received word from Dayton
at 2:47 this afternoon that the en-
tire business section of the city is
on fire and that indications are that
it will be destroyed by flames.
People are to be seen jumping
from roof to roof of buildings to keep
out Of the way Of the flames.
Dead in Dayton are unnumhered.
Dayton, Ohio, March 26.-(via Lelt
anon)-Dayton is devastated. No one
can even estimate the casualties. Be,
meath the yellow sea that is seeth.
ing through the once gem-like city
may sleep 10000 drowned or may.
haps the death list may not exceed
1000. No one can picutre the sick
ening situation. Last night Dayton
was a marine inferno. Fires lighted
the sky, illuminated the rushing wa
ters and the swish Of rain and swirl
Of currents sounded a sybilant re-
QUEEN for the uncounted dead.
Fifty thousand people are today
jammed in the upper floors Of their
homes with no gas, no drinking wa
ter, no lights, no heat, no food.
John H. Patterson, Of the National
Cash Register company, has 80 car
penters at work building boats. He
himself has saved many lives.
Miamisburg is under water and
there is no food. Country people are
taking supplies to the refugees.
Twelve thousand persons are lodged
in the National Cash Register plant.
Scores of automobiles and boats are
carrying the marooned to safety at
many points, but up TO noon no
boat would venture into the heart Of
the current.
The waters dropped two feet this
morning.
George Burba, representing Cover
nor Cox, and J. H. Patterson, head Of
the local relief work, agreed at noon
that the loss of life would be be-
tween 800 and 1000. Both declared,
however, that the estimates were bas-
ed on conjecture.
Not a telephone is in communica-
ton. No one can learn the fate Of
ones loved ones.
Dayton, 20 square miles of it, is .
maritime hearse. All roads that were
passable seemed to lead to this sud-
den city of misery. From north,
south, east or west, parades Of auto
mobiles, traction or train service
wended their way to Dayton. The
road to Cincinnati, for instance, led
through Lebanon. All day and all
night strings of automobiles were go
ing back and forth. Those going to
Dayton were seeking friends or rel
atives. Those coming back had peo-
pie to bring back with them.

Cincinnati, o., March 25.-A mes

night and that 1000 persons were
drowned.
A newspaper man who is a refugee

be true. but that owing to darkness
of the city he was unable to confirm
/ it.
Dayton, o., March 25.-No one can
tell the number of dead claimed by
the terrific storm that swept away the
levees Of this city today. The esti-
mates run from 200 to 5000 dead,
with more than 10000 homeless.
Tonight the mad waters are rushing
through the town, choked with the
wreckage Of buildings. The lighting
plants were put out of commission
but the reflections Of hundreds Of
fires cast a lurid glare over the
dreadful scene. 1t is impossible to
combat the flames, which burn their

MAYORRUSHLIGHT
HERE ON HIS
HONEYMOON

Portlands mayor, whose secret we'd
ding was kept Secretion four hours
by the newspapers of his native
town reached Honolulu this morning
on the Mongolia, with his bride, who
was Miss Agnes O'Connor Ingram.
Both bride and bridegroom appeared
! tickled nightly to get here. although
disappointed that they were too late
to see the landing of Kamehameha.
The wedding of the mayor of Portland
is so described in one of the papers
of the Oregon city on January Sd.
Mayor Rushlight was married yes
terday to Agnes O'Connor ingram.
daughter of Thomas O'Connor, a
prominent stockraiser of John Day.
Or. The ceremony took place in the
Rushlight residence in Brooklyn in
the presence of a few relatives and
friends at 1916 o'clock, Circuit Judge
Robert G. Morrow officiating. Miss
Catherine O'Connor, sister of the
bride, was maid of honor, and the
Mayor was attended by z. R. Camp
bell, his nephew. The residence was
handsomely decorated and the couple
receivd many handsome and costly
presents.
Among those present were little
Juanita Rushlight and Master Willard
Rushlight, children of the mayor; Mr..
and Mrs. George l.. Baker, Mr.. and
Mrs. John H. Burgard and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. R. Campbell.
The newly welded couple left yes
terday afternoon for the south, and it
is anticipated that they will visit the
Hawaiian islands During their abb
sence President George l. Baker will
preside over the affairs OF the city, as
acting mayor.
This is the first time in the history
OF Portland that a mayor has married
during his term of office. Although it
has been known for some time that
the couple contemplated being mar
ried, the report recently was circu-
lated that the mayor would wait until
after his present term of office expir-
ed The announcement Saturday aft
ernoon of the wedding came as a
great surprise even to the intimate
friends of the contracting parties.
