LATEST FRO THE FL Vof DISTRICT - Lates: ’\Associated Press Despatches Received by Bulle- P>l . 200,000: HOMELESS, $20,000,600 LOSS. Havee “of Flood in Indiana—Levee Breaks at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, March 25.—A state- wide flood; so appallingin its immen- sity -and ‘terrifying in the swiftness with whicth is came, claimed many lives, according to reports, made near- 1y 200,000 home.le;: and has g;;:s property damage more than - 900,000, in Indiana today and tonight. Helpless from the first rush of wa- ters, which caught the state unpre- pared, the ensuing desperate fight to egave life and property seemed inconse- quential. The White river and several creeks which surround the business district of Indianapolis, ordinarily little sireams and dry in summer, tonight are raging torrents, sweeping every- thing .in their path. Hotels of the city tonight are crowd- #d to their utmost. As many as ten percons are sleeping in a room. The White river levee at Morri street went out tonight, submerging hundreds of -home and adding two thousand to seven - thousand who were homeless here. ‘Thousands of spectators were ~watching the river when with a roar that could be heard for blocks hun- dreds‘ of tons of dirt in the levee crumbled under the pressure and great walls- of water rushed through the ning. op;!an, women and children fought through the water toward a nearby ‘bridge which seemed to offer the only safety. Many homes were torn to piecés by the rush of the water and others were floated away. No loss of 1ife has been reported, but several per- gons are reported missing, and in the crowd on the bridge mothers and fath- ‘er sought missing children. Indianapolis is practically dark, while the mercury is constantly lropping. The:water in some streets north of Fall creek, only 15 blocks from the business - district, is sweeping every- thir-g- before it. The Capitol avenue bridge, complet- ed last fall, probably will be dynamit- ed,: as ‘it seems to be obstructing the flow of water in Fal] creek. Schools have been ordered closed and there is general suspension of business as the result of the flood. UNLU TERRE HAUTE. Beginning to Recover from Tornado When Hit by Flood.

Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment Cured, Cranberry Isles, Me. — “My baby's Body was completely covered with eczema. He was about six weeks old when it started. It came on his forehead first, then spread all over his scalp so that every bit of his hair came out. The eczema came in big blotches on his face and neck, which after a foew days all ran into a solid mass. He used to rub them and sometimes he would make the blood come. It was in the scaly form on his body, but his head and face seemed to be a crusty mass. *1 tried an ointment for him but it did not do him any good. I tried this one week and by that time baby was oune mass of eczema from head to foot. He used to be quite rest- less nights, and while be had the eczema ha did not grow a bit. He was terribly dis- figured. I sentand got some Cuticura Ofat- ment and Soap.
