Lights were out and no water was pro curable as the water mains had burst. Belief poured into the city from ev ery quarter today. Many cities offered aid. A relief committee was. formed, consisting of John W. Rodgers, New Castle; William Goodrich, Winchester, brother of Governor Goodrich; H. 8. Miiddv of Muncie. Walter Chambers and George Elliott, both of New Castle. The committee today sent out an ap peal for cash donations.

The storm broke without warn ing and was over like a flash, lasting rrom twenty seconds io a minuie, ac cordinff to various estimates. It was a typical Kansas twister with a long funnel shaped cloua wnicn swept aown from the northeast. It struck the In diana Rolling Mills, first, leveling the large plant as if it had been raked with a dozen forty two centimeter guns- The better residence district of the city was hit next. Houses costing as high as $50,000 were a mass of ruins in an instant. Miraculous escap es from death were reported, when fam ilies, huddled in basements, had their houses swept off over their heads, Houses were jammed one against an other and in one case a garage and au tomobile were set down in the middle of a home. k. The storm continued through the city, striking the homes of tho work ingmen, where most of the deaths were cauBed. Here a district half a mile wide and a mile long was swept clean. Not a house was left standing. That there were not more deaths was attributed to the fact that up until the time the storm broke, the day had been pleas ant and many families were downtown or out walking. After leaving the city the storm de trnved manv farms for a twelve mile stroteh. Two farm hands lost their lives when a barn was blown down Butte, Mont., Mar. 12.

Stock Market Quiet Prices Unchanged New York, Mar. 12. The New York Evening Sun financial review today said: . . Most of the news which Wall street had . before it today was of a nature tending further to clarify both the do mestic and international situations. The removal of the uncertainties with which, securities financial and commercial cir cles have had to contend in recent months had a distinctively bullish, in fluence. If the arming of American merchant men is to be received by Germany as a casus belli, then the die is cast with the statement issued today by the state de partment. The stock market does not as yet, however, reflect fully this more cheer ing state of affairs. The public has been so long away from the trading, except in the strictly investment sense, that it has become timid from habit, so to speak. Today's trading was almost wholly professional. The industrial list wat largely neglected. What activity there was appeared to be of a realizing na ture, and prices were soft in conse quence.

Terrific Rainfall The general list was weak and trading Following the sweep of the storm a, was quiet in the afternoon. terrific rain poured down ior nan an hour. Several fires started, but the rain aided volunteer workers in extinguisn ing them. Rescue work started immedi ately. Xtanv were saved after they had hei.n buried under the debris for half an hour or more. Searchers were attract ed by their screams, wild scenes follow ed in the wake of the disaster. One man with an ear torn off and with only a sheet wrapped around him, ran through the city for an hour, fighting off anvone who attempted to hold him. At last h was caught and taken to the hospital. - William Lowry was bruned to death when he was caught in the wreck of his home and was unable to escape when the ruins caught fire. The rescuing pariv had nothing with which to fight the flames and, not knowing a man was buried in the wreckage, watched it burn. They soon smelted the burning flesh and the charred body was found. When the storm broke, a sister of Mrs. Elwood Lawson saw she would be unable to reach a house, so she grab bed a tree and hung on while the CAN WALK 3 MILES Troubles of Heart, Stomach, Digestion All Removed. To look at Mr. David T. Remington, of Springfield, Mass., one would say, "he is as sound as a nut." And so he is, thanks to the new com bination of purifyins and buikliner-up treatment embodied in Hood's Sarsa parilla and I'eptiron Tills. Mr. Remington is one of the best known men in the State, having been for 21 years in the State House m Boston as Senate Doorkeeper and Serseant-at-Arms. He says he had annoying symptoms about his heart, stomach and digestiva organs. His old friend. Senator Georpo E. I'utnam, ot Lowell, urged him to take a course of Hood's Sarsapari!!. and I'eptiron Pills, which he did. an.l now, "I never felt better in all my life. I can walk from my house down, town and back, 1 miles each way." These medicines are obtainable from every druggist. Why not begin thi sensible treatment yourself today?
