Call To The Forty-Fifth
National Suffrage Convention

For the forty-ffth time in its
history the National American
Woman Suffrage Association sum-
mons it's members together in coun-
ell. By thus assembling, one more
united step toward the final eman-
ciapation of the women OF this
country is made practicable. 1t Is
part of the destiny of those who
are laboring actively in the cause
of any reform, that they cannot
fully discern the extent Of the
changes they are accomplishing. 1t
is only after their work is finished,
when the new ideal is established,
and when the widely distributed.

PHONETON, O.. March 25.-Details of
flood suffering in Dayton were given
by a telephone lineman who reached
the telephone building after struggle.
The entire business section of Day
ton is like stormy lake, according
to the Iineman's account The water
was 10 to IL feet deep, he said, and
rushed in torrents between the build
ings.
One boat went by the Algonquin ho-
tel with two men in 1t rowing des-
perately trying to keep the bow to the
waves. The boat overturned, but both
men escaped drowning by swimming to
lamp post. They clung to the post
for half an hour before a rope could
be thrown to them. They were drawn
into the second story window Of the
nearest building.
A number of objects like bundles of
clothing have been swept within sight
of the telephone building, and these
are thought to be bodies of drowned
persons. The flood passing the build
ing carried many head of cattle and
horses.
The whole city is under water, ac-
cording to information shouted from a
housetop.

1t is impossible at this time more

OF these 5000 are credited to Dayton,
1000 to Hamilton, $50 to Piqua and the

this county they are young Danes
