THE LEVEE GAVE WAY
A Disastrous Break Near

Appalling Suffering in the Devas.
tated Region-No Land on Which
to Bury the Dead-River Rising.
Memphis, April 6.-Another disas-
trous break in the Mississippi levee oc-
Cured this morning at 8 O'Clock at
Flour lake, six miles below Tunica,
Miss. The crevasse is fully fifteen feet
deep and the water is pouring through
| the opening with fearful velocity. This
will probably be the most destructive
break that has occurred in the delta.
The most fertile farm lands of Missis-
sippi lying in Coahoma, Flore, Quit
man and Tallahatchie counties, in the
northern part of the state, will be in
undated and the newly-placed corn
crops will be laid waste. Fortunately
no loss of life is reported, the inhabit-
ants of the stricken section having made
preparations for just such catastrophe
as exists.
The condition of the poorer classes
throughout the flooded area is indeed
critical tonight. Thousands of refugees
are being huddled on the levees and
spots of dry land waiting for relief.
The towns of Rosedale and Tunica re-
port that everything is being done for
these poor people, but that funds and
provisions are fast becoming exhausted.
In the little city of Rosedale alone 400
refugees are being cared for by the citi-
zens. Half hundred towns stand in
six feet of water and the stream is
creeping up slowly but surely.

two miles south of Helena, Ark. This
is the levee for which the people of
Southeastern Arkansas have made such
desperate fight. The waters from
this break will. flood great area and in
all probability will back up into the
streets of Helena
The relief steamer Lee arrived at
Mariana, Ark, late this afternoon,
having made an expedition up the st.
Francis river. There were on board |
100 refugees and 200 cattle. The
steamer went up the St. Francis river
as far as Cutoff and then worked her |
way down stream, rescuing people from
perilous positions.
The suffering along the st. Francis
is appalling. The water through the
entire neighboring country is tonight
from six to fifteen feet deep. The re-
lief boat had on board the body of Mrs.
MacMahon, of Raggio City. The body
was found at Raggio and taken to Ma
rianna for burial, there being no land
at the former place on which to give it

He Is now Cured, and he Thanks God

edX, For Il.

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla.
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side Of his face
was SO badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and In this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract
from his letter: " Truth is stranger
than Fiction"
NEURALGIA, CATARRK AND RREUMA.
TiSM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had consultation Of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that p. P. P. will not make
total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. P, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, If neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. p, Lippman's Great Remedy.
