WHITE RIVER VALLEY
IS SWEPT BY FLOOD
(Contiued from page 1)
or loss degree by the flood.
It is reported that at Hain
ey, a small station near Cotter,
every building inthe town was
swept away, and there is not
a building of any kind left
standing.
At Calico Rock the river
reached a stage of 52 feet.
Water got into every building
ton the lower side of town,and
it is said that some of the build
ings had to be tied to trees
with large ropes to keep them
from washing away.
At Boswell the water got so
high that one store building
was washed from its foundation
and turned over on its side.
At Guion the Guion Mer
cantile Company were prob
ably the heaviest losers, as
they carry a large stock, and
the water practically filled
their building, reachinga depth
of eight feet inside the build
in?;. The water got up to the
roof of several business houses
there and it is said that one of
the smaller business houses
was entirely swept away.
At Wideman a large store
house was washed from its
foundation and turned over on
its side.
In the Strawberry and Spring
river bottoms crops of all kind
wen' totally destroyed and it
is said that the* loss of life
among stock is enormous.
Bridges were washed away
at Hardy, Williford and
Poughkeepsie.
ONI Y SLIGHT DAMAGE IN
NEWARK
While all high water records
were broken, the damage to
property in Newark is slight.
The Newark Lumber Co.
are the heaviest losers. Water
was four feet deep in their
lumber yard, and considerable
lumber was damaged, but for
tunately their stock was not
heav,' , having been permitted
to run low. and their loss on
lumber damaged is estimated
at about $500.
Water reached a depth of
11 > _> inches in their new brick
building on the corner of Front
and South Main streets. They
were prepared for this emer
gency, however, for when it
was seen that the water was
going to get into their build
ing, they put several men to
work ■oaffolding up and mov
ing goods to scaffolds and to
the upper deck of their build
ing.
There was only a few feet
of i dlroad track above water
at the depot. Had it not been
for the fact that the raiload
tracks and Front street had
been raised two feet or more
during the past few years,the
water would have reached the
sidewalk in front of the busi
ness houses on the north side
of f ont street.
Water was three feet deep
over the Newark Gin Com
pany's yard, and some of the
m; ‘hinery in the engine room
is damaged but the loss will
not be very great. About 18
I cords of wood on their yard
land a half car of lumber just
hauled in from (Iren's mill and
stacked along the sidingadjoin
jing the gin yard were washed
! away.
j\ Water was up to the floor of
the Newark Canning Com
pany’s factory but did not get
I into the building and the com
pany is not seriously damaged.
W. L. Porter’s Machine Shop
was put out of business early.
The water reached a depth of
.'58 inches in this building and
much of Mr. Porter’s machin
ery is damaged. The loss is
not great, however, and Mr.
Porter places his loss at about
$100.
RELIEF FOR OIL TROUGH
A relief fund for the bene
fit of the destitute in the Oil
Trough valley, was started at
B a te s'v i 11 e Monday.
Something over $300 was
raised. Provisions were bought
with the fund and a car con
taining the provisions was car
ried down bv the local this
morning. The car was in charge
of Ernest Neill and Dr. J. H.
Kennerly. They expect to take
it out from Newport and make
arrangements for its distribu
tion though Asa Pelley at El
mo, W. (). Mooe at Oil Trough
and A. Z. Shipp at Hutson.
INJURED DURING FLOOD
George Sisk who lives on the
Morrow place in Oil Trough,
sustained a painful injury dur
ing the flood.
Mr. Sisk was hastily build
ing scaffolds on which to save
some of his psoperty from the
flood, when hq fell and broke
three ribs.
In addition to his other loss
es, Mr. Sisk had four head of
horses drowned during the ov
erflow?
Some horses belonging to
Dr. V. L. Pascoe and J. H. Hol
derby of this place were drown
ed in Mi\ Sisk’s pasture, mak
about seven or eight horses
drowned in his pasture.
MUCH STOCK LOST
The loss of stock is large
but will not be as heavy as
was thought at first.
.1. H. Moore has probably
lost 12 or 15 head of cattle and
three or four horses, which
were drowned in the Magness
pasture.
Morg Drennen lost about
IS head of hogs and II. C.
Hunter lost .‘112 head of hogs.
Many others lost from one to
four head of horses and cattle,
but it has been impossible to
make anything like a correct
estimate of the total loss of
stock.
AN ACT THAT IS
WORTHY OF PRAISE
An incident of the flood
that deserves a bit of special
praise, is the spirit of help
fulness shown by J. E. McCoy,
a good citizen of Logan town
ship.
Learning of the destruction
wrought by the flood and
knowing that many people
would be brought to Newark
from the flooded area in desti
tute circumstances, Mr. McCoy
loaded up his wagon with po
tatoes and other vegetables,
brought them in and gave
them to any and all whom he
found in need of such articles
of food.
Such voluntary acts as this
one on the part of Mr. McCoy
are so unusual that they elicit
the praise and commendation
of everyone. It shows, too, that
there are yet a few people who
possess a thoughtful spirit of
real old-fashioned neighbor1
ness—a spirit that we need to
cultivate more in this communi
ty.
WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy
All the blood in the body
passes through the kidneys
once every three minutes. The
kidneys filter the blood. They
work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily.
When unhealthy some part of
f.d uifqe pieo sreettaoinetaoie
this impure matter is left inthe
blood. This brings on many
diseases a n d sy m pto m s—which
vary widely but may include
pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatic pains, gout, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debilty drowsiness
dropsy, deposits of the urine,
etc. Rut if you keep the fil
ters right the dager is over
come. Doan’s Kidney Pills
have proven an effective kid
ney medicine.
A. R. Philips, carpenter, W.
Arch St. Searcy, Ark., says: "I
had good results from Doan's
Kidney Pills ml so did another

given me quite a Hit of pain

DAMAGED FEED MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS LOSS
Dr. Walker Says Feed That Has
Been Under Water Should be
Fed Very Cautiously.
Written for The Journal bv Dr.
W. H. Walker, V. S*
We now face a problem in
feeding corn or hay taken from
the overflowed country that is
dangerous if it has been cov
ered with water,
j Unless we use great care
and careful watching we are
going to lose a great many
horses, mules and cattle.
Horses and mules will be
come affected with forage poi
soning. Cattle with indigestion
and hogs with cholera. That
kind of feed will also cause
diarrhea in any stock if not
fed carefully. Better try one
animal first before feeding the
entire herd.
Horses will die in from four
to twenty four hours, in one
form, and treatment is unsuc
cessful. In another form, they
live from six to ten days, *and
sometimes get over it. And in
another and milder form, they
will begin to improve the
fourth day, and recover.
In cattle it causes death be
cause the owner does not know
it in time for treatment to take
any effect. When cattle can
be treated, there are a gr at
many more of them saved than
horses and mules.
In hogs it causes diarrhea
and renders a herd more sus
ceptible to cholera. But if not
fed in a great quanjtity it
makes a very good feed for
hogs. But it should not be fed
at all to horses and mules, for
it will give them what is com
monly known as “blind stag
gers" if fed too much or for
any length of time.

STORM SWEPT COAST
Fury of Storm is Spent on Coast
Before Sweeping Northward

buildings, 'railroads, shipping,
live stock and other property
[aggregating close to $50,000,
000 was the toll taken by the
hurricane which swept this
isection last Monday and Tues
day.These figures were reach
ed from a careful compilation
| of what arc considered the
most authentic reports of the
loss of life and property re
ceived since the cessation of
[the storm.
Of the' known dead, 194
were residents of the gulf
coast section and 62 were
drowned when the vessels they
were aboard sank. Forty-three
of the missing were members
of boat crews.
Those who perished on Gal
veston inland, including eight
in the city, jiumber 53 and 10
are r ported missing. Galves
ton’s share of tin' property loss

District is Recovering
Reports from all over the
affected section were that all
the cities and towns are recov
ering and that conditions are
approaching normal through
out the gulf coast.
In Galveston officials are
hopeful that the serious prob
lem of an inadequate water
supply for the city would be
solved within a few days.
Run Trains in a Month
Predictions that direct rail
road service into Galveston
from the mainland would be
resumed within a month were
made by officials of the Gulf
Colorado and Santa Fe rail
road. They said that 1,700 feet
of the $2,000,000 causeway
had been washed away on the
Galveston side and 3,739 feet
destroyed near the mainland.

[debris, repairing the line and
making preparations to begin
|building a. single trestle across
the bay from Virginia Point.
COL. JOHN QUALLS DLAD
i Col. John Qualls died very
isuddenly and unexpectedly at
his home here Monday morn
ling.
He had been a little puny
for several days but was able
to be up. He arose Monday
morning as usual and dressed,
but complained of feeling bad
ly and went back to Jbed. He
Was seized with convulsions
and a physician was called.Dr.
Rodman responded promptly
and did everything he could
ito relieve him, but the convul
sions followed each other in
rapid succession and death re
sulted in a short time after
the doctor’s arrival.
It is said that there were in
dications of strychnine poision
ing. Nothing definite is known
about this, however, as an au
topsy would have been necesary
to have shown if this was the
cause of death. It is said, how
ever, that he had been taking
strychnine for some ailment,
and it is thought possibly that
he took an overdose.
Col. Qualls had been a resi
dent of Newark for 20 years,
having come here 20 years ago
and established a shoe shop
He was a lifelong cripple
but was of a sunny disposi
tion and everybody who knew
him was his friend.
He was 58 years old and is
survived by his wife but leaves
no children. He was a mem
ber of the Methodist church.
The remains were buriovl at
the Sanders graveyard, two
miles north of Sulphur Rock,
