Decatur is getting a taste of what life was in early days when all one learned of outside life was heard from some one who happened in on horseback. In answer to the genera! query in the min.ds of the citizens, regarding provisions, the merchants in many cases are making a specialty of canned goods displays. They look fine and are plentiful.

A number of traveling men who' were stranded here since Monday, left' , yesterday for Huntington over the ’ Erie. ) Two live boys from Richmond came j in this morning with papers from that city, which they sold as rapidly as they could be handed out. The smiles of the sun, as they broke | '. through the clouds were never more i i welcome than this morning, and a day |or two of this will relieve the flood sit- , nation in this section to a large extent. zx John Christen is very much worried I op r h: sister, Mrs. Amend, who lives > i ton, from whom no word ‘ has been received. Mr. Christen has 1 <en trying to get word into the • stricken city, but without success. The home of Theodore Shockney, t ; at Union City, was badly damaged by I a gas explosion in the basement' some time Tuesday and Mrs. Shockney was reseverely burned and may die as a result of her injuries. The I t house took fire following the explos-, : ion, but was saved by the quick action ,• of the city fire department. The cloth- ■ ing worn by Mrs. Shockney at the s time was completely burned from her body.—Portland Sun.

Miss Helen Gass, who spent Easter In Fort Wayne, is still there, unable to get home. She is the guest of Pascalinet Smith. Miss Pearl Purdy of the telephone force, Is off duty today on account of illness, being unable to stand\he terrible strain of yesterday. The John Everett home is being nicely remodeled. The bath room is | being moved to the second story, and a hot water heating plant installed. Two engines it Is said, are kept | busy pumping the water out of the j Anthony hotel basement at Fort I Wayne, so that the furnace fires will not be drowned aut. Miss Tillie Nfeibers of the Gass & ; Melbers store, who Is stranded in Ft. j Wayne this week, is at the home of ! her cousin, Mrs. Jared Reed, formerly | 'Miss Louise Wertzberger of this city. A family on Second street, and very j , near the river front, it is said, during i the reservoir break scare, piled their i ■ bed clothing on a wheel-barrow and started out on a trot for the high part of the city at the West. Guy Johnson of Columbus, Ohio, is among the visitors here who is tied up in the city on account of the floods. Mrs. Christen and children, who are in Columbus, are safe however, as i their residence is in the highest part of the city. Mr. Johnson is the guest of bis brother-in-law, Charles Christen, and family. The high waters will vary probably make fishing in the St. Mary's river a good sport. When the waters are , high at this time of year the fish .travel up stream and then when the Waters recede, and the fnny fellows become hungry the fishermen will be given an apportunity to get In good work with hook and ine. The Wallace and Hagenbeck shows at Peru were almost totally destrov|ed, according to reports. Over five hundred wild animals, representing a (great fortune, accumulated by a life's work, were drowned. Mr. Wallace, it ,is said, offered $5,000 to any person who would go to the Wallace farm and bring him a report of conditions there. Stories of many queer acts by men land women after they heard yester- | day that the reservoir had broken are ■ reported. One family carried the pi- ■ ano upstairs, others moved stores of 'provisions, coal stoves, and all sorts of furniture and supplies. While, as it turned out they were not needed, they might have been the fortunate ones. In Peru the few families who have a stove on the second floor of their house are the only people who have been comfortable.

OHIO SUFFER KEENLY (Continued from Page 1) gees and have room for more. Boats well provisioned scoured the flooded districts in west Indianapolis and took care or removed everybody. This is the rosy and true condition of af- | fairs in Indiana today, four days aftler thousands had been driven from, their homes in every part of the state, communication cut off, giving rise to the wildest rumors possible. / The ■ property loss in the state is conserve- . tively estimated at $60,0000,000. ■ Dayton, Ohio, Mar. 28—(Special to I Daily Democrat)—The number of (dead in Dayton, it is believed, will not exceed 300. This statement is based I on an investigation of every section of the city. Every part was accessible today and those parts which were expected to produce the largest number of dead have been most free of fatalities. Dayton has been waiting hor-ror-stricken for a report from North Dayton and Riverdale where the levee broke unexpectedly. The first man to penetrate these districts reported this afternoon that not more than ten are dead in North Dayton and perhaps twice that number in Riverdale. The waters are receding quickly and it is expected tliat most of the dead will be uncovered by nightfall. Enormous property damage is disclosed by the fall of the flood. Connersville, Ind., Mar. 28 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Nineteen bodies have been recovered and identified at Brookville. Aboard Government Ship, Bluefield, West Va., Mar. 28—“ I am going to get to the flood districts if I have to go byway of the Pacific or an aeroplane,” was the excited declaration of Secretary of War Garrison this afternoon, after a sleepless night and full day of countless detours and creeping progress, due to the washouts. Columbus, Ohio, Mar. 28—(Suecial to Daily Democrat) —Fifty bodies of victims were in the morgue here at 12:45 today. The coroner said the list would reach 200 and perhaps more. Fort Wayne, Ind., Mar. 28 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The water is falling rapidly here today and a few j of the ten thousand who were rendered homeless began returning to their houses today. It is believed that by 1 Sunday the greater part of them will be housed again in their own homes. POLICE COURT. i Agent Anderson of the Erie has, t. in the most hospitable manner during the last few nights, opened the de- > , pot for the construction men and la- . borers on thS railroad to spend the I night therein. The men in the habit however, of getting a little to large I a “load” on and, and last night whea . one of the men who goes by the name . of Daoley came in, three or four of the . others began picking on him and abue- '' ing him. Dailey wasn’t in a very ■ good humor and in return he managed ’.to put three of the men to “sleep.” He '|was just beginning on the fourth ' man when Officer Melchi put in an ’ ; appearance and on the promise of the ‘ men to file an affidavit against Dailey, j Melchi ecsorted him to jail. This morning, however, no one put in an • appearance, and after a futile search for them, Dailey was given his lib- ' erty. o -- COUFT HOUSE QUIET. I Eeverything is very qjdet the court house.

Were only one automobile made by a factory'lt would come sky high to the lone purchaser. It would cost thousands of dollars. But when 40,000 people insist that their car be built in one factory—each car comes at the rock bottom price—less than one thousand dollars a piece. This accounts for the exceptional value Overland buyers secure. Combined buying power—the 20th century economy factory—is the key. This is the reason folks talk “Overland” from Seattle to Savannah and Portland to Pasedena. Never before has there been such a car at such a price. It astonished the civilized world. The Overland 69T is the direct result of evolution. A limited output of good cars was the acorn from which the oak grew. The better Overlands became known—the more folks wanted them. The more Overlands made — the less each cost. Because the more

raw material bought—the less the unit expense. Thus, every year, Overland prices have been reduced. Realize the tremendousness of this Overland production; try to vicualize a procession of 40,000 Ovei lauds. This is not an estimated output. Dealers contracted for 39,000 cars before a public announcement was ever made. Our output is 150 cars a day—nearly 1,000 a week. How else —were it not for this wonderful production efficiency— could $985 buy the highest priced features in motor car construction? .See the big quality features down on paper; balance them up in other cars; compare them; study them; you cannot match them for other factory in America. Size, gtrongh, seating capacity, wheel base, chassis construction, comfort, beauty and finish —this model matches any SI2OO car manufactured.

The double set of drum type, internal expanding and external, contracting brakes—l 3 Inches by 2% inches —are not surpassed oa SISOO cars. Consider the economy in buying equipment for 40,000 cars. Here on this $985 car you get the very finest accessories manufactured —those placed on SSOOO cars. It has a Warner speedometer—the best made; it lias a fine mohair top and boot; it has a clear vision windshield; it has a selfstarter and Prestolite tank. And all for the one price; there are no “extras.” Our greatest problem is in supplying the demand. The entire 1913 Overland output is contrated for. If you want an Overland we advise quick action.
