HOSPITAL ASSN.
MET LAST WEEK
The Union Hospital AssOci-
alton Met on Wednesday
of Last Week and Elected
Officers for the Year
Plans for the Hospital
AdOpted-All the Old Of
ficers Were Reelected for
Another Year.

The annual meeting of the Hospi-
tai Association was held Wednesday
evening of last week. The meeting
was called to order by the president,
DR.. ]. H. Hamilton, the meeting be-
ing held in the offices of DR.. Berry.
The chief question brought up was
the matter of the erection of build
ing. The plans chosen by the build
ing committee were endorsed by the
whole body and it was agreed unani-
mously that the work of construction
be started, and that when the money
gave out the work stop until more
could be raised. There is a consider
able amount of cash now in hand and
quite number of large subscriptions
that will be paid Immediately upon
the beginning of work.
The election of officers was held
and the old officers were reelected to
serve another var. The building COM
mittee was also unanimously re-elect-
ed.

nature of the foods, which in most in
stances it was impossible to verify,
were received tonight from widely
scattered sources. The most serious
of these were:
An unconfirmed report from
Springfield, Ohio, that 5000 lives had
been lost at Dayton and 500 at Piqua.
A report apparently more fully au-
from 200 to 500 had been drown at
Peru, Ind.
A message received at Phoneton,
Ohio, that the reservoir at Hamilton
had broken and that 1000 persons
had been drowned. Continued afforts
for verification were futile.
An unconfrmed but persistant ru-
NOR from Marion, Ind. that the Grand
reservoir at Celina, Ohio, had gone
out, causing an unprecedented food
in the Wabash valley.
Later reports from Delaware, Ohio,
said that rs to 100 were dead. More
conservative figures cut this report
in half. In few cases was it possible
to trace these reports to any definite
source.
Ohio, Indiana and parts of Illinois
and Missouri suffeded most severely
Fayette, in Indiana, and Delaware
Terre Haute, Indianapolis and La
Dayton, Columbus and Youngstown
in Ohio, present particularly pitiful
spectacles. In all these cities there
was some loss of life, according tc
reports available, and in each city the
property loss was heavy.
In Delaware, Ohio, 10 persons are
known to have lost their lives, anc
30 to so others are missing. Terrt
Haute, swept by disastrous tornado
last Sunday, today was partly inun
dated, interfering with the remova
of stricken families. The death list
still remained at 20, while the list Of
injured aggregates $50.

success in the war now going on
against hookworm in this county. DR..
Riser has examined 200 school chill
dren and 100 not school attendants,
and found one-third of those exam
ined infected. He says the rural
school teachers are giving him every
assistance in this work, in many cases
having every child in school exam
ined. He urges all teachers to write
him, giving the number of attend
ants in their schools and asking any
question upon the subject for further
information.
Saturday. is expected to be a big
day at Union, and DR.. Riser will be
found at the court house in the grand
jury room as heretofore.

Chicago, March 25.-- Floods al
most unprecedented in area, follow
ing the tornadoes and rains of the
last three days, today swept four
States of the Mississippi valley, caus-
ing loss of life that may reach in
to the hundreds and damage to prop
erty amounting to many millions of
dollars. Ohio and Indiana and in a
lesser degree Illinois and Missouri
felt the brunt of the disaster. At
Dayton more than 60 persons are re-
ported drowned, following the break
ing of the Miami river levee and the
Laramime reservoir, so miles above
the city, When the Associated Press
correspondents wired, on reaching
the city, anxiety caused by the loss
of life was set at rest, although
there was great difficulty in obtain
ing details. Marooned in Office build
ings in the centre of the town, hun
dreds of persons were awaiting res
cue. Strets heretofore considered
miles from the danger line are under
eight feet of water, the torrential
force of which preludes rescue in
boats.
The climax of the flood in Ohio was
reached at Dayton, where tonight il
was reported that the water is from
20 to 40 feet deep in many streets
that bodies were floating past the
windows of office buildings and that
the catastrophe assumed the proper.
tions of tidal wave.
| At Delaware scores are reported
dead and that many are missing. B
V. Leas mayor of that city, reported
drowned, has been saved. He estima
ted the death list at from 25 to rs
Otto, hamlet of 100 persons, wa.
said to be destroyed, and the fate Of
the inhabitants was unknown. The
death list in many cities and towns
including Fort Wayne, Lafayette
Richmond, Marion, Muncie, Kokomo
Connersville and Logansport totalet
Is persons.
At Lafayette the loss extends tt
millions.
Richmond is in darkness and Il
bridges in Wayne county were de

At Kokomo the property loss wa.
estimated at $1,O00,0OO and 500 per
