Entered at the poetoffice In Decatur, (ndinsM, as sceond cla*a mail. The sun managed to wiggle through the clouds again this morning and came forth as bright as in the old days. It should inspire us to get busy. One of these days the summer will be here and if we would make it a prosperous one we should now be laying the foundation for that era. Let’s do a little hustling. President Wilson is establishing another rule, that of going back of recommendations of senators and congressmen as to federal patronage, when by so doing he can secure better men to fill the places. Very likely this will prevent some of the boys from landing, but the record of the administration will be considerably improved. That President Wilson is the leader of his party was demonstrated last week. He came through strong and there is little doubt but that the tariff bill passed by this session of congress will be along the lines suggested by the president. Mr. Wilson insists that the tariff must come off of the articles we eat and wear, no difference who is hurt by so doing. In selecting a place for the soldiers’ monument the committee should remember that it is a monument which should stand for centuries. When it is placed in the court house yard, there is danger that it will some day have to be moved to give room for a larger county building. We still believe that the idea suggested a year ago that it be placed in a Monument park is the best one. At least it should be given most serious consideration. The saloon fight here is a regular harmony picnic as compared with the one in progress in Huntington, where whole page advertisements are appearing in the papers, and where every fellow on the other side is having his title read to a finish. The Huntington Light & Fuel company has been dragged in and what is being said about them would fill several volumes. The city has had saloons for two years, before which they were '‘dry” two years, the experience there being in that wise similar to Decatur.

The moth- | ers of the children and a large numher of little playmates attended and all concede that it was a very worthy production. The dramatization was made by little Miss Helen Dugan. She has long known the little story of “Cinderella’’ and conceived the idea of writing the parts for the players, which she did quite cleverly. The proceeds from the play amount to $2.19, and with this the band expects io buy two children’s books and give them to the Decatur library with the compliments of the Cinderella band.

FLOOD VICTOMS CONTlNliaiu P*GE ONE noise in the once great, busy city was the shrieking of distress of the whistles of some manufacturing district, or the sound made by the dashing of the waters. At night the terror was made worse by the sight of the flames from burning buildings shooting heavenward, the only light in the entire city, as the lighting plants had been put out of commission the very first day. The scene can be better imagined than pictured, and it is miracluous that only about a hundred of the citizens were compelled to give up their lives. Four of the neighbors of the Armstrongs were among the number. Two of these were children, and two widow ladies who lived together. One of the ladies was drowned in her home. The other died in a boat. The children were drowned when a boat in which they were being rescued broke in two. It was almost two weeks before Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong could get back to their home to examine their belongings. Their furniture was found in different parts of the house from where it belonged, one chair and many small articles being found sticking to the ceiling, held there by the sticky mud which covered every , home to a depth of six to twelve inches. The levee had broken at a j point near the Third street bridge and the current rushed directly down Sprague street, washing the weaker houses completely off their founda- | tions. The cottage in whoch the I Stewart family at one time resided was turned around and thrown partly I up onto the porch of the home next ' door. A square away a fire raged until two blocks were consumed, and ’ those marooned in the buildings feared fire as badly as the water. Those in charge of the rescue w-ork are given greatest praise, as they did a noble service, and the relief work is still being kept up. Nothing can be bought or sold, and the necessaries of life are distributed from forty-three relief stations, to which the rich and i the poor are compelled to go daily .’or their allowance. Everybody has been

put to work cleaning up the city, which is an Immense job, and many a sightseer, who has ventured into the city has been put to work and compelled to stay there all day by the soldiers who are constantly on guard. Saturday as Mrs. Armstrong was leaving several car loads of convicts were being brought in to help in the work. It will be some time before it is accomplished, but when It is done Dayton hopes to be a bigger and better city as a result of her awful experience. Mrs. Armstrong and daughter will remain with the Stewarts until it is possible to get tjieir home in shape to again go to housekeeping, they having lost all their household effects, including a fine piano.
