Death Of Col. George e. Waring.

Colonel George Il. Waring, Jr., died
of yellow fever, at his residence in New
York city, early Saturday morning last.
The death of Col. Waring is very
great loss. His life was busy active one,
full Of usefulness for his country and of
energy and force, always directed for the
improvement of its health He did an
enormous amount of work, and in his
books on drainage and other branches Of
his profession as an engineer, as well as in
his sketches of the Civil War and in his
travels, he has left heritage that will
perpetuate his name. Beginning after
thorough training as a civil engineer, by
work on the Central Park of New York,
he has given to it the impress of his char
acteristic thoroughness and zeal, in doing
everything in the best way. He COM
manded a Missouri cavalry regiment in the
Union Army Returning to civil life, he
spent many years in improving the stand
ard of farming in this country, and his
papers on drainage and on many topics of
scientific agriculture have been widely read
Then he devoted himself energetically to
city improvement by drainage, water supply
and other engineering reforms. He showed
in and near New York, in many New Eng
land and Western cities, and notably in
Memphis and other Southern cities, his
ability to cope with local problems. Under
his hand the progress and recurrence of
yellow fever we're arrested in Memphis,
and it is characteristic of the man that he
died of yellow fever incurred in his sani-
tary survey Of Havana He died as he
roically as any soldier, for it was in the dis
charge of duty to which he was called by
the President, in the hope of helping to
make Havana healthy and safe for our
forces there.
What Colonel Waring did for the clean
ing and sanitation of New York is still so
recent that his name is watchword for
just the kind of thoroughness that he car
ried into all his work. He was thorough
American, doing with his might all that
came to his hand to do, and uniting re-
markable power of literary expression with
unusual technical skill and bold and decided
views of engineering reforms.

Curing a Nervous Headahce.

Every woman knows the aching face
and neck usually brought home from a
hard days shopping or from long round
of calls and afternoon teas. She regards
with intense dissatisfaction the heavy lines
drawn around her eyes and mouth by the
long strain on her facial muscles, and
when she must carry that worn counter
ance to some dinner party or evening s
amusement it robs her of all the pleasure
to be had in it.
Cosmetics are not the cure, nor bro
mides, nor the many nerve sedatives.
The most effective cure for this nervous
headache is to remove the dress waist,
knot the hair high up on the head out of
the way, and, while leaning over the ba-
sin, place sponge soaked in hot water
Gas hot as can be borne) on the back of
the neck.
Repeat this many times, also applying
the sponge behind the ears, and in almost
every case the strained muscles and nerves
that have caused so much misery will be
felt to relax and smooth themselves out
deliciously, and the pain promptly vanishes
In consequence

may reach thirty. 1900 people in actual
need Of the necessaries of life, 7o0 home
less, and damage to the amount of $780,
GOO is the net result Of the food which
swept through Shawneetown late Sunday
afternoon.
There is a possibility that the number of
dead may exceed the list by a small mar
gin.
There is no danger of further damage to
the town unless more storms set in, and
even then ii is difficult to see how mattera
can be made worse than they are now.
The entire town is buried under ten TO
fifteen feet of water, with the exception
of the houses on the embankment imme-
diately fronting the Ohio river All of
these have water in the cellar, and most
of them are flooded to the second story.
The water began to fan to-day. and by
2 O'Clock this afternoon had receded eight
feet from the highest mark of Wednesday.
Not a single body has been recovered rs
yet. and there is no probabilit that any
will be found until after the waters have
entirely subsidized.
The levee broke on the north side of the
town, sweeping what is known as 'he
First Second and Third wards clean of
all buildings. An of the people who were
drowned met their fate In. the First ard
che northern part of the Second ward,
which were nearer to the break.
The entire country, north, south and
west of Shawneetown is covered with wa
ter, and locomotion in all objections is DIFF
ticult, and almost impossible.
In the township Immediately north of
Shawneetown there was not sufficient dry
ground to-day for a single polling place,
and there was, therefore, no election. ana
the old officers will hold over for another
term.
Many acts of heroism were performed
by the townspeople in rescuing their fell
low citizens.
The break in the dam widened to-day 70
a gap of 80 yards. 1t is said by those
who witnessed its first giving way that
the disaster was caused by quicksand,
upon which it's foundation rested.
Charles Carroll, chairman of the relief
committee, said to-day that the things
most needed were blankets. meat, bread,
meal and bacon.
There was enough food in the town to-
day and known to be on the road to feed
the hungry until Wednesday noon. 1t Is
expected by that time that all actual sur
ferings will have been relieved. ContrI-
buttons will be necessary for two weeks,
until the people are able to enter their

BERNER SPEAKS Al MouLTRIE.
His Hearers Much Enthused by His
EIOuuence.

Dixie, Ga, April 5.-Hon. R. L. Berner
addressed a large audience at Moultrle
I yesterday MIR. C. w. Pidcock, superin-
tendent of the Georgia Northern Railroad,
ran a special train from Pidcock for the
benefit of those wishing TO hear Mr.. Ber-
ner. A large and enthusiastic delegation
from Dixie was on the train, besides
large numbers from Pidcoek and every
way station on the road. There were peo-
pie from Quitman, Townsville and every
county adjoining Colquitt.
Mr.. Berner began his speech at y
O'Clock, and for two hours and a half
held his audience spell-bound. That his
words were highly appreciated was shown
by the cries of That's right" Give It
to em, Bob" etc.
With his combination of wit, sarcasm
and eloquence he proved himself one of
the foremost orators of the state. His
sarcastic representation of Col Gambler
and Judge Atkinson, as plow-boys, was a
great hit, and was highly appreciated by
his hearers, the great majority of whom
were farmers.
From the enthusiasm displayed by the
audience and from conversation with lead
ing citizens of Colquitt, it is thought that
the county may be placed In the Berner
column.
