MUCH STOCK LOST

The loss of stock is large but will not be as heavy as was thought at first.
 J. H. Moore has probably lost l2 or 15 head of cattle and three or four horses, which were drowned in the Magness pasture.
 Morg Drennen lost about 18 head of hogs and H. c, Hunter lost 32 head of hogs. Many others lost from one to four head of horses and cattle, but 1t has been impossible to make anything like a correct estimate of the total loss of stock.

256 DEAD ALONG
 STORM SWEPT COAST
Fury of Storm is Spent on Coast Before Sweeping Northward Over Texas and Arkansas.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 21.- A total of 256 known dead among residents of southeast Texas coast points and crews of wrecked crafts of all kinds :; 65 persons missing, many of whom are believed to have perished, and damage to crops, buildings, railroads, shipping, live stock and other property aggregating close to $50,000,- GOO was the toll taken by the hurricane which swept this section last Monday and Tues day. These figures were reach ed from a careful compilation of what are considered the most authentic reports of the loss of life and property re- celved 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 weston inland, including eight in the city, plumber 5 and 10 are reported missing. Calves tons share of the property loss was placed approximately at $6,0O0.0O0.

ONLY SLIGHT DAMAGE IN
 NEWARK

While all high water records were broken, the damage to property in Newark is slight.
 The Newark Lumber Go. 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 heavy, having been permitted to run low, and their loss on lumber damaged is estimated at about $500.
 Water reached a depth of 1115 inches in their new brick building on the corner of Front and South Main streets. They were prepared for this emer- geney, however, for when it was seen that the water was going to get into their build ing, they put several men to work scaffolding up and nov ing goods to scaffolds and to the upper deck of their build ing.
 There was only few feet of railroad 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 Front street.
 Water was three feet deep over the Newark Gin Com pany's yard, and some of the machinery in the engine room

Run Trains in a Month

Predictions that direct rail- road service into Galveston from the mainland would be resumed within 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. Several hundred men were at work on the mainland today clearing the right of way of debris, repairing the line and making preparations to begin building a single trestle across the bay from Virginia Point.

 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 g feet. Water got into every building on 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 itsfoundation and turned over on it's 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 ing 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 it's foundation and turned over on it's side.
 In the Strawberryand Spring river bottoms crops of all kinds were totally destroyed and it is said that the loss of life among stock is enormous.

praise, is the spirit of help fitness shown by J. F. 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, Mir. 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 neighborl ness-a spirit that we need to cultivate more in this communi-

DAMAGED FEED MAY
 CAUSE SERIOUS LOSS
pr. Walker Says Feed That Has Been Under Water Should be Fed Very Cautiously.
Written for The Journal by Dr. ". II. Walker, '. s.

Written for The Journal by Dr. w. H. Walker, V. s.
 We now face problem in feeding corn or hay taken from the overflowed country that is dangerous if 1t has been cov- cred with water.
 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 1t 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 great 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 great quantity it makes a very good feed for hogs. But 1t should not be fed at all to horses and mules, for 1t will give them what is com monly known as blind stag gers if fed too much or for any length of time.

COL. JOHN OUALLS DEAD

Col. John Qualls died very suddenly and unexpectedly at his home here Monday morn ing.
 He had been 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 bed. He was seized with convulsions and a physician was called. Dr. Rodman responded promptly and did everything he could to relieve him, but the convul- 'sions followed each other in rapid succession and death re- suited in a short time after the doctors 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 necessary to have shown if this was the cause of death. It is said, how ever, that he had been taking strychhine for some ailment, and it is thought possibly that he took an overdose.
 Col. Qualls had been 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 Der of the Methodist church.
 The remains were buried at the Sanders graveyard, two miles north of Sulphur Rock, Tuesday, Rsv. L. B. Hankins conducting the services.

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 theyremove about 300 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 andsymptoms-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, debility drowsiness dropsy, deposits of the urine, etc. But if you keep the fil- ters right the dagger is over- come. Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an effective kid ney medicine.
 A. B. Philips, carpenter, w. Arch St. Searcy, Ark, says: "l had good results from Doan's Kidney Pills nd so did another of my family. My back had given me quite a bit of pain and on using one box of Doan's Kidney Pills, 1 had fine results. l have noticed no sign of kid ney trouble to speak of since. .
