steamers, inchuHng two government
boats, arrived in port this morning trom
the overflowed country north of Mem
phis, landing 400 refugees and a thous
ami head of stock. The condition of the
refugees is pitiable. Some are only
partly clothed, mid sick almost to death
from exposure and long suffering. Seventy-five
had been standing for hours in
tho water, waist deep, waiting for the
rescue steamers. One woman citing
frantically to a dead babe. In another
family of four, two were drowned a few
minutes before the boat arrived.
Tho rain began falling yesterday after

DEATH OF K ETA NOT KUGKETTED
Central Americana Consider It a For
tunate CirciunHtunce.
New Yokk, March 18. A Herald dis
patch from Panama says :
The following opinions from corres
pondents in the Central American states
relative to the death of Antonio Ezeta,
formerly vice-president of San Salvador,
express the general feeling of those
countries, and are interesting as showing
that jingoism is dying out,- even in re
publics which have been accused of
chronic turbulence of spirit.
In San Jose, Costa Rica, a correspond
ent states that the death of Ezeta was
regarded as a lortunate circumstance,
inasmuch as it removed one serious ob
stacle to the continuance of peace in
Central America.
The correspondent of the Herald in
Managua, Nicaragua, writes that there
was general rejoicing in his country
when the news was received. The peo
ple declared openly that death had over
taken one of the worst tyrants who had
ever held power in Spanish America.
Guatemala heard of Ezeta's death
with indifference.
w San Salvador tho correspondent
there
writes: "Ezeta has long been
Politically dead, and the report of his
oemieo produced not the tightest feel-
sur excitement."
The press and people of Honduras ex
pressed unfeigned satisfaction when in
ned that Ezeta had died. He was
'oked upon in the republic as a con
lived m0"ace ,0 peaco BB lon8 8 he
In Panama they are moro caritable,
ami eay that all political enmities should
e buried in the grave of the man who
"cited them.

day of the severe punishment he re
ceived in tho ring. His lower lip was
split somewhat in the center, and was
slightly swollen, but there were no other
marks about him to indicate he had
just gone through a hard battle.
"My lips are very thin," said Frits,
and cruck open without being hurt. I
know that I lost some blood yesterday,
but it didn't weaken me at all, and
thingB looked much worse with me than
they .really were. There was not a time 1

sixth round, in which they say Corbelt
had me going, I told my men that I was
going to lick Corbett to a certainty. I
saw he was able to keep bis head out of
my way, and then I began to lay for b:s

of a blow I was waiting for chance to de

it home and won the fight."
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make broomB by
machinery; the first to put up seeds in
litttle packages ; the firBt to manufacture
cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of cur
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. It supplies food in
an artificially digested form and at tho
siune time aids the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. In other words,
bv the use of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, a dyspeptic virtually gets along
without the use of his stomach until it
is restored to its natural strength and
vigor. A Bingle 10 cent bottle will oft
times give marked relief. Get a bottle
from your druggist and try it.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.

Rome, March 18. A dispatch from

or for the interior of the island.
Another Warlike Iininor.
Athens, March 18. According to per
sistent rumors circulating here, Colonel
Vossos, commander of the Greek army
of occupation, has been ordered to
oppose the landing of the foreign troops
now on the way to Crete. This how
ever, may mean only formal opnositio
rjgainst action by the powers.
Advises from Arta, on tho Greek fror
tier, show that the privations of t'sa
Turks there are so great that some ai-i

The Turks at Prevesa, Epirus, are
arming in consequence of a conflict pro
voked by a Greek soldier belonging lo
the garrison at Actium.
The Turkish troops are occupying sev-
$1 posts on the Servian frontier.
Batteries at Arta are being constyucl-
ed under the direction and plans of Ger
man officers.
It is reported in military circles that
the Russians are about to land troops on
the coast of Macedonia.
The news that the Servian army re
serves are being mobilized in causing
great anxiety to Turkish military au

.There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proyen catarru
to bo a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the

It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaspoonful. It act1 directly

Dangers of the Grip.
The greatest dangers from La Grippe
is of it resulting in pneumonia. If rea
sonable, care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
ten1; of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn of a single case having resulted
in pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that this remedy is a certain preventive
of that dread disease. It will affect a
nermauent cure in less time than any
other treatment. The 25 and 50 cent
