Entered at the poo tortice In Decatur, tatft'SA, as scared claM ball. April showers have started in right on time and the May flowers should likewise arrive on schedule. It we have flowers in proportion to the recent rainfall, the crop will be all that could be desired. A Russian army officer has committed suicide by shutting off the power in his aeroplane and dropping to earth. It’s the first record of this kind and it's needless to say that its practice will not become very common for some years at least. “Hinky Dink,” whose real names is Michael Kenna, was re-elected aiderman from the First ward of Chicago yesterday, receiving 4,358 votes, while the progressive candidate got 71, and the socialist 201. While much can uo doubt be truthfully said against Kenna, a man who can keep on getting a unanimous vote in his ward, must have some qualities not altogether bad. The Tuesday election in Chicago was a wonderful democratic victory, electing the entire ticket with the exception of twelve aldermen. Fort Wayne has started a campaign for the protection of the residents in Bloomingdale, Nebraska and Lakeside from the high waters. Congressman Cline will be asked to secure as much help as necessary from congress. Expert engineers to figure it out are talked of and the plan proposed includes the changing of the course of at least one river. Levees : and dykes are to be built and those portions of the city made safe. Similar work will be done all over the country and this with the repairing of damaged property should make the season a very busy one in the flood districts. It will take ten years before the city of Dayton is back to where it was before the floods struck it, according to the opinion of many in charge there, but it will be a better and greater Dayton. Just at present the conditions there are terrible and they will be so for months. The banks have not reopened, fearing runs, and business is consequently in a bad way. Besides the fact that many concerns are bankrupt and ten times that many on the verge of ruin, the local tax will have to be enormous, the health conditions will be serious, and it will take nerve and lots of it to withstand the strain of the next half year. After that it should get better. We believe the backbone which built Dayton and made it one of the best cities in Ohio, will be

Miss Sue Mayer has invited the Needlecraft club to meet with her Thursday evening. A large attendance of enthusiastic workers was in evidence Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Nellie Nichols when she entertained the Queen Esther circle. The study of Mormonism is now in progress and the lesson was carried out under the leaderI ship of Mrs. J. C. Tritch. Papers were I read by the Misses Margaret Mills, f Ruth Parrish, Irma Houk, Florence 1 Cowan and Mrs. Jesse Helm. Music also had a place on the program. Miss Hallie Leonard singing a solo and the Misses Mabel Hower and Ireta Butler giving a piano duet. Miss Ruth Gay was assistant hostess. During the social hour delicious refreshments were served.

The gath- ’ I ering was an infotynal 6 o clock din-. ner party, which was followed by a ' delightful evening at cards. A number of other social affairs are being ( planned for the guests. The Woman's Home Missionary society of the Methodist church, which was to have held a meeting Thursday of this week at the home of Mrs. P. G. Hooper, has postponed the same i until Thursday of next week. Mrs. Eva A. Gibbon and Mr. Joseph 1 Moriarty of Hudson, Michigan, were married this morning at 7 o’clock at Father Wilken. The attendants of the couple were the bride s sister. Mrs F. R. Clark of North Second street this city, and the groom's brother, J. A. Moriarty of Detroit, Michigan.

Wayne Oil & Supply Co. .. 6.22 o — ■ ■ DAYTON FRIENDS LOSE ALL. M. and Mrs. John Stewart received the following note from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Armstrong, old neighbors of the Stewart family, when they resided in Dayton, Ohio: "Want to Inform you we all got out of the flood safe ly, but our household goods are all gone. As soon -as the warning was given, Mrs. Armstrong and Margaret were taken out safely, but Mr. Armstrong was in the attic for three days before he was reecued. The water was up three feet in the second story, so you can see how everything is ruined. We are all so thankful we were spared, for it has taken a great many lives. We are now staying with some folks on West First street, until we find out what we can do. When possible will write all about it, and let you know how we get along." The Stewarts lived at the corner of Fourth and Sprague streets the first two years they lived tn Dayton, while the Armstrongs lived at Fifth and Sprague. The water reaching as it did to a depth of three feet on the second floor of their residence, undoubtedly entirely submerged the cottage formerly occupied by the Stewarts. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart later moved to a residence farther west on Fifth street, which was on a higher 'elevation, but this, too, in all probability, had water on the first floor to a depth of several feet. RECOVERS HER MUFF. Mrs. James Bell was much pleased to recover her fine muff which she lost in this city a few days ago. The muff was returned by Mrs. Dettinger. who noticed the ad in this paper. The ' Dettingers had come to this city and left their horse and rig at a feed yard here. When they were driving home they found the muff in the buggy. ■ They do not know to whom it belonged, until they saw the ad. It is supposed that the muff fell from Mr= Bell’s rig and that some one not i knowing whose it was, picked it up and put it beck into the wrong rig. POLICE COURT. The trial of Martin Burkhead. j charged with assault and battery, was held Tuesday night before Squire Stone. Burkhead was arrested upon an affidavit sworn out by O. P. Everett, charging him with assault and battery upon Mrs. Everett. Burkhead’s sister. He was found guilty and given a fine of 11 and costs, amounting to 510.50, which he stayed.
