THE BLIZZARD.
The most severe blizzard and snow
storm, covering almost the entire
territory of the United States, which
visited us during the memory of our
oldest citizens, and certainly by far
the coldest ever recorded, swooped
down on us last Sunday night. It
extended throughout our South land,
causing the easy going Southerner,
who never prepares for winter, to
feel as though he had been suddenly
transported to the vigorous realms of
Iceland.
The suffering throughout the coun
try has been intense and in some sec
tions and cities people actually froze
t<» death. Cattle, by the thousands
froze to death in the West.
All of the vegetables of south
Georgia have been killed as has been
the greater part of the fruit crop and
in some cases, the fruit trees. Truck
farms in Florida haye been killed
and the orange groves badly dam
aged. The trees in some groves are
also reported killed.
The yellow fever sections of the
south experienced the greatest freeze
on record and in most sections the
mercury went down below zero.
It is believed that yellow fever and
other germs have been killed and
that the blizzard will prove a great
blessing to that vast area which has
been cursed by various contagious
diseases for the past few years.
Such cold weather was never
known in Gainesville as even the
government thermometer at the
Southern depot recorded. Incased
in a box, as it is, the mercury drop
ped to 7 degrees below zero. Many
private thermometers hung out at the
coldest point on the premises regis
tered 15 degrees below zero. In
1885 the same thermometers regis
tered 5 degrees below zero, which
was the coldest weather recorded up
to that time but lacked 10 degrees
being as cold as Monday morning.
The following is the official record of
other cities:
Atlanta, 8 1-2 degrees below, 6 1-2
below any former record. Albany, 2
degrees below zero. Americus, 6 de
grees below zero, 14 degrees lower
than ever before recorded. Perry, 3
-..giVes“below. Marrietta, 8 degrees
below. Rome, 7 degrees below.
Greensboro, 5 degrees below. Ft,
Gaines, 5 degrees below. Eatonton, 5
degrees below. Leesburg, 2 degrees
below. West Point, 4 degrees be
low, with Chattahoochee river a
solid sheet of ice. Barnesville, 3
degrees below. Norwood, 7 degrees
below. Quitman, 2 degrees above.
Eli jay, 5 degrees below. Fitzgerald,
zero. Social Circle, 13 degrees be
low. Athens, 12 degrees below.
Hamilton, 9 degrees below. Conyers,
6 degrees below. Milledgeville, 3
degrees below. Reports from other
States show that records have been
broken every where.
Nashville, Tenn., 13 below. Sur
rounding towns reported 22 below.
Charlotte, N. C., 4 below; Blowing
Rock, 10 below; Lenoir, 2 below;
Winsboro, zero.
Roanoke, Va., 10 below; Norfolk,
and coast cities report ice in harbors
several inches thick.
Little Rock, Ark., 12 below.
Waco, Tex., 7 below; but not so
cold in the southern portion of the
state.
Shreveport, La., 5 below; Gibbs
land, 16 below; New Orleans,6 above;
Bayonne, Terrebonne and La Four
chre were frozen for the first time
since the war.
Mobile, Ala., 1 below; Decatur, 14
below; Opelika, 7 below; Evergreen,
5 below; Tuscaloosa, 7 below.
A snow storm accompanied the
blizzard. The snow at Gainesville
was about 5 inches deep. In some
parts of Virginia the snow fell almost
incessantly for fifty hours. On level
ground it was 22 inches deep, and
six feet where it had drifted. Dis
tinct earthquake shocks were felt at
Lynchburg, Danville and other points
in Virginia.
The reports from South Carolina
are very unsatisfactory in so far as
they are not explicit. It seems,
however, that mercury and zero did
not carry on much of a flirtation in
the Palmetto State.
The wires are all down in Florida
and no accurate news from there has
been received. A dispatch from
Savannah yesterday states that dis
tressing letters have been received
from Florida telling of the direful
effects of 'the freeze in that State.
The orange growers tell of the ice
bound trees and fruit which have
been killed by the cold. The price
of oranges has advanced from S 3 to
$5 per box. Many greenhouses have
proved inadequate to keep the plants
they contain warm enough to retain
life. It is simply impossible to form
any idea of the terrible loss to orange
growers and truck farmers.
If you would be nothing just wait
to be something.
FIGHTING AT MANILA.
Rebels Cut Down Like Grass.
General Miller Left Manila Thursday
to Take Iloilo in 48 Hours.—Under
His Leadership the Americans
Captured Iloilo Saturday.
The Story of the Battles Tersely Told.
Washington, Feb. 9.—Probably
within forty-eight hours General
Miller will have begun the attempt
to occupy Iloilo on the island of
Panay. No specific orders on this
score have been sent to him since the
battle of Saturday and Sunday, nor
has he been heard from directly res
pecting that matter, but it was his
known intention to make this impor
tant movement as soon as he felt
that condition warranted it, and
statements contained in the press re
ports from Manila show the officials
here that General Otis at last has
authorized the landing.
So long as the massing of insur
gents around Manila appeared to
convey a serious threat against its
safety General Otis felt bound not
to weaken his forces by sending any
additional troops to Iloilo, bnt now
that he has the insurgents demor
alized, he can proceed to carry out
his plan for the occupation of the
principal city in the Philippine group
next to Manila.
General Miller has with him the
Sixth and Eighteenth infantry and
battery G of the Six artillery, and
these will be reinforced in the course
of 24 hours by the First Tennessee
regiment, making a force quite equal
to the occupation of Iloilo
Washington, Feb. 9.—The follow
ing cablegram was received today
from General Otis:
“Manito, Feb. 9, 1899.
“Adjutant General, Washington:
“Total casualties resulting from all
engagements since evening of Feb
ruary 4th, aggregate 268, as follows:
Killed, 3 officers, 56 enlisted men;
wounded, 8 officers, 119 enlisted men;
missing, two enlisted men.
[Signed] Otis.”
Manila, Feb. 10.—(7:40 p. m.) —
The American forces at 3:40 this
afternoon made a combined attack
upon Caloocan and reduced it in
short order.
At a signal from the tower ofthe
De La Lome church, the United
States d.ouble-turretted monitor Mon
adnock opened fire from the bay
with the big guns of her fore turret
on the earthworks with great effect.
Soon afterwards the Utah battery
bombarded the place from the land
side. The rebels reserved their fire
until the bombardment ceased, when
they fired volleys of musketry as the
Montana regiment advanced on the
jungle.
The Kansas regiment, on the ex
treme left, with the Third artillery
deploying to the right, charged across
the open and carried the earthworks,
cheering under a heavy fire. Sup
ported by the artillery at the church,
the troops further advanced, driving
the enemy, fighting every foot, right
into the town line and penetrated to
the Presidencia, and lowered the Fil
ipino flag at 5:30 p. m.
The enemy’s sharpshooters, in the
jungle on the right, fired at long
range on the Pennsylvania regiment,
but the rebels were soon silenced by
shrapnel shells and the Pennsylvania
remained in the trenches.
As the Americans advanced they
burned the native huts.
The rebels were mowed down like
grass, but the American loss was
slight.
In anticipation of a native uprising
in this city, unusual precautions were
taken here last night by the Amer
ican military authorities. Fortu
nately the steps proved unnecessary.
The Filipinos are evidently con
vinced that an uprising would prove
suicidal to them.
The Viscayan commissioners ar
rested on board the Uranus sailed
for Iloilo yesterday with the Tennes
see regiment on board the United
States transport St. Paul.
No vessels have cleared from
Manila for Philippine ports since
Saturday, consequently no news has
yet reached outside points.
The Uranus cleared for. Iloilo
on Saturday but instead of sailing on
Sunday, she was detained by the
American authorities.
The American line today is much
the same as on Wednesday. On the
right General Ovenshine’s brigade
extends to the beach, two miles north
of Camp Dewey and to the Pasig
river. Lieutenant Colonel Treu
mann with the North Dakota volun
teers, has established his headquarters
on the beach, whence he is in signal
communication with the American
fleet. The Second batallion of the
Dakota regiment extends along the
front, and all of the Fourteenth
infantry,with the exception of com
panies M and E, is stationed at the
Pasig river and extends thence to
San Pedro and Malate in a complete
line. Scouting parties of the Da
kota icgiinr nt, yesterday, surprised
some Filipino scouts at the bridge
across the Paranque river, the enemy
retired hurriedly, swimming the
stream in order to reach the main
body of the rebels, entrenched
opposite troop K, of the Fourth cav
airy. A few rebels have concen
trated at Paranque. While they are
entrenched they are fully exposed
from the water front.
General King’s headquarters are
now at the village of Pasig, which
surrendered yesterday with opposi
tion. Many ofthe rebels are coming
in hoping to be allowed to enter
Manila, but they have been refused
the necessary permission, and are
now afraid to return to the enemy’s
ranks. The California regiment,
whose members are in excellent
spirits, is now occupying the village
of Pasig, Malate and Santa Ana.
Since the Wyoming regiment re
lieved the Twenty-third regiment at
the water works, there has been no
change in General Hale’s position.
The Nebraska regiment, Colorado
regiment, South Dakota regiment
and Utah artillery are occupying the
same posts.
•On the left General Otis’ brigade
consisting of the Twentieth Kansas
regiment, eight companies of the
Pennsylvania, the Montana regiment
and four batteries of the third artil
lery, stretches back, near Caloocan
to the Chinese cemetery, where there
is an excellent signal station on a
hill, where from a church tower the
signal men can communicate with the
fleet.
The monitor Monadnock moved
up to Singport today.
The rebels have apparently sel
ected Malabon as their base of op
erations in the next encounter with
the Americans, as they are concen
trating in considerable force there.
Many small bodies of scattered
troops are straggling in from the
right and others are undoubtedly
arriving from the north interior prov
inces.
Aguinaldo is reported to have es
tablished headquarters at Malabon
for the purpose of rallying his forces
for a decisive blow. In order to
cover their movements the rebels
again opened fire upon the Kansas
outposts last night from the jungle.
The firing was continued for twenty
minutes but without effect. The
Americans reserved their fire until a
detachment of the enemy emerged
from the bamboos, when a well di
rected volley made the rebels scuttle
back to their cover like rabbits.
The Fourteenth infantry has un
earthed several tons of Spanish shells
which had evidently been stolen from
the Cavite arsenal and cached by the
rebels in the vicinity of Paranque.
Fifteen cait loads of it have been
brought into the city, as has also a
modern naval gun and a part of its
mount.
There is no doubt that the gun
was either stolen by the insurgents
or removed from one of the sunken
warships.
Washington, Feb. 10.—Three tel
egrams were received by the war de
partment this morning from General
Otis, at Manila. In the first he said,
in answering inquiries of the war de
partment, that the body of Captain
White, company B, First Colorado,
had been recovered from the river.
White had been shot in the head.
The second dispatch said Corporal
George B. Ward law, L T tah battery,
had been slightly wounded in the
left ankle; condition good.
The third dispatch, timed, Manila,
11 a. m , February 10, referred en
tirely to the purchase of some horses
and other supplies and made no re
ference to any further engagements
with the insurgents;
Manila, Feb. 11.—2-30 p. m.—Ear
ly today the monitor Monadnock and
the cruiser Charleston began drop
ping shell into the rebel camp be
tween Caloocan and Mahbon. The
enemy’s sharpshooters, in the jungle
on the American left, had been par
ticularly annoying since daylight, so
the third artillery drove, the rebels
out of the jungle at noon. Mean
time a few of our men were wound
ed. The loss of the enemy is esti
mated at 50 killed and wounded to
one American killed or wounded.
Manila, JBeb. 11—5:20 p. m.—The
heat today knocked out many more
of our men than the Philippine bul
lets, and especially in the marsh lands
to the north of Malabon, where the
Kansas regiment was stationed.
Fully a score of them have been ta
ken to the hospital. The railroad is
now open to Caloocan, and supples
for the troops are being forwarded
by rail.
Washington, Feb. 11.—The war
department today received the fol
lowing from Gen. Otis at Manila:
“Manila, Feb. 11.—McArthur’s di
vision is north of the Pasig river.
Yesterday the left wing of Otis’ brig
ade made a partial wheel to the
right resting the left of the brigade
on Caloocan, where the insurgents,
who were in considerable force, were
sharply driven out, leaving a good
many dead.
Our casulties are as follows:
“Killed—Private John A. Gibbons
of hospital corps, Private Alonso
Ricket, Co. I, 20th Kansas; Private
Fred Hall, jCp. I, Ist Montana.
Wounded—First Montana, Lt. Col.
R. B. Wallace; Private Maloy, Dib

“The troops are in excellent con
dition; they are supplied with all
necessities. The hospitals, notwith
standing the wounded, have fewer
patients than before the engagements
of the 4th and Sth instant. Yester
day’s engagement was most success
ful. It is believed by the old res
idents that Aguinaldo will be unable
to gather in the future any consider
able force.
(Signed) Otis.”
“Manila, Feb. 13, —General Miller
reports from Iloilo that town taken
lllh, inst., and held by troops. In
surgents given until evening of 11th
to surrender, but their hostile action
brought on engagement during the
morning. Insurgents fired native
portion of (pwn, but little loss of
property to foreign inhabitants. No
casualties among the United States
troops reported.
(Signed) Otis.”
Manila, Feb. 14.—Particulars of
the capture of Iloilo by the United
States forces under Brigadier Gen
eral M. D. Miller Saturday last, have
been received.
On the morning of Friday, Feb
ruary 10, General Miller sent an ulti
matum to the commander of the
rebels on shore, notifying him that it
was his intention to take Iloilo, by
force if necessary.
Non-combatants and foreigners
were warned to leave the town with
in twenty-four hours. The rebels
were also warned that they must
make no further belligerent prepar
ations.
The gunboat Petrel was then
moved to a position close in shore
and near the rebel fort, while the
cruiser Boston took up her station at
the other end of the town.
Friday passed quietly. During
the day many refugees left the town
of Iloilo. The majority of them
were.taken on board foreign ships
lying in the harbor. Searchlights
from the United States warships
were kept all night long illuminiating
the town and its defenses. The
rebels, so far as the lookouts on the
ships could discern, remained quies
cent throughout the night.
At 8 o’clock on the morning of
Saturday, February 11, the gunboat
Petrel was ordered to fire warning
shots from her 4-pounders. This
was done and the rebels replied with
a harmless fusilade. The Boston and
the Petrel then bombarded the
rebels’ trenches, completely clearing
them of their occupants in a very
short space of time
Soon after the bombardment began
flames broke out simultaneously in
various parts of the town. There
upon forty-eight marines, acting as
infantry and artillery, were landed
from the cruiser Boston and a com
pany was sent ashore from the gun
boat Petrel. These detachments
marched straight into the town of
Iloilo, and hoisting the stars and
stripes over the fort, took possession
of the place in the name of the
United States.
The capture of the town and its
defenses having been accomplished,
the marines and soldiers who had
been sent ashore proceeded to the
task of saving the American, English
and German consulates from
destruction by the fire which was
raging among the frail and inflam
mable buildings of the town. The
Swiss consulate’s residence, which
was in the same row as the consu
lates named, was burned. The entire
Chinese and native sections of the
town were destroyed, but foreign
mercantile property escaped with
slight damage.
There was some desultory firing
by the enemy in the outskirts of
Iloilo, but not a single American was
injured.
General Miller’s force had com
plete control of the situation when
the gunboat Petrel sailed from
Iloilo for Manila. The Sixth United
States artillery regiment occupied a
position commanding both the
biidges leading into the town, and
the Tennessee volunteers and the
Eighteenth United States infantry
were occupying the trenches that
had been constructed by the rebels.
Manila, Feb. 1i.—(5:20 p. m.) —
Rebels yesterday fired from houses
bsaring white flags, on the American
outposts. Col. Smith, with the Cali
fornia volunteers, proceeded to clean
out the enemy along his front. The
rebels opposed him from the brush
and several skirmishes occurred. The
rebels were driven out. The work
proceeded to-day in a systematic man
ner, a gunboat shelling the villages
and working her rapid-fire guns very
effectively.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be enred by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars; free.-

EAGAN SUSPENDED.
Court Sentence a Dismissal.—Miles
Court Appointed to Look into
Beef Scandal.
The President has caused to be
promulgated sentence in the case of
General Charles P. Eagan, convicted
by courtmartial of being guilty of
conduct unbecoming an officer and
prejudicial to good order. The sen
t<ice of courtmartial was dismissal
from the army. The president has
commuted the sentence to six years
from duty, which covers
the remainder of the time prior to
Gtaneral Eagan’s retirement, in Jan
Jy, 1905.
Jhe following is the text of the
ofter of the president:
▼The accused, after a trial by
courtmartial composed of officers of
high rank and distinguished services,
has been found guilty of conduct un
worthy of an officer holding a com
mission of the United States and
obnoxious in the highest degree to
the discipline and good order of the
military establishment. Such behav
ior is especially deserving of con
demnation in an officer holding high
rank in the army and charged with
the performance of difficult and im
portant administrative duties in a
time of great public emergency, and
from whom, when subjected to ad
vise criticism, an unusual degree of
restraint and constant and unfailing
self-control are confidently expected.
The proceedings, findings and sen
tencn in the case of Brigadier Gen
eral Charles P. Eagan, commissary
general of subsistance United States
army, are therefore approved. In
view, however, of his gallant conduct
in battle upon more than one occa
sion, which merited and has received
the warm commendation of his supe
riors. and of bis long and honorable
record of service, extending over a
period surpassing in duration that
usually allotted to a generation; hav
ing regard also to the mitigating cir
cumstances which were developed
during the trial of the case and in
deference to the recommendation to
clemency submitted in his behalf, the
sentence imposed by the court is
ccfaimuted to suspension from rank
and duty for six years.
(Signed) “William McKinley.
“February 7, 1899.”
General Eagan was just six years
from his retirement by age, so his
sentence is made to run, “suspension
from rank and duty” for just six
years, with admission to the retired
list afterward. In fact, he loses
nothing by his crime and conviction,
except his allowances for forage
(about $75 a month), and he dis
tinctly gains by relief from duty at
his age. He will for six years lead
a life of leisure on full pay, $5,000 a
year.
Or this sentence might be termed
another way of allowing a “worthy”
General to retire six years earlier
than his dense comrades, who do not
know how to properly use their
tongues or display their temper in
such a manner as to produce such
splendid effect as did General Eagar.
Following this sentence the presi
ident has appointed a court of in
quiry to examine into the charges
touching the meat furnished the
American army during the war with
Spain and other matters involved in
the charges made by General Miles
against the administration of war
affairs.
The court will consist of Major-
General Wade, Colonel George W.
Davis, Ninth infantry, and Colonel
Gillespie, corps of engineers, now
stationed in New York.
The inquiry will begin at once,
and the contracts as well as the qual
ity of the beef will be thoroughly
investigated.

THE PEACH CROP KILLED.
The peach crop in the southern
portion of the State is dead.
Mercury fell below zero in places
where, a week ago, the weather was
like summer. In some sections
peach trees were in full bloom, oak
trees had budded out, and in the
gardens, and on the truck farms early
vegetables had sprouted and some
were showing their tops above the
ground. The fruit in some sections
is reported killed and in some in
stances, it is thought, the trees of
some of the orchards are also killed
and will proye to be a total loss to
the owners.
This is reported to be true as high
up as Americus where the peach
trees were in bloom and the forest
trees budding. The temperature
there dropped to 6 degrees below
zero, which was 14 degrees lower
than ever before recorded.
In other sections of South Georgia
the report is more favorable. The
yield of all varieties in the vicinity
of Albany will be reduced from 50
to 75 per cent, but all vegetables
have been killed.
The damage to fruit growers can
not be estimated.
The latest reports came from At
lanta yesterday from Mr. Scott of the
agricultura' department. The report
is this:
“The Georgia peach crop has been
totally destroyed. From advices re
ceived this morning from the great
peach district in southern Georgia it
is apparent that not only the fruitage
is ruined, but in many of the vast
orchards thousands of trees have been
killed. From a line drawn from east
to west at Barnesville to the Florida
line, covering the peach belt, it is
believed that not an orchard escaped.
This includes the great peach mark
ets of Marshallville and Fort Valley.
Last year's crop amounted to a little
more than $1,000,000, and 2,000 cars
were shipped from Georgia. Thia
year there will be no crop.”
Education is the knowledge of how
to use the whole of one’s self. Men
are often like knives with many
blades ; they know how to open one
and only one; all the rest are buried
in the handle, and they are no better
than they would have been if they
had been made with but one blade.
Many men use but one or two facul
ties out of the score with which they
are endowed. A man is educated
who knows how to make a tool of
every faculty—how to open it, how
to keep it sharp, and how to apply it
to all practical purposes.
The greatest difficulties lie where
we are not looking for them.

The Grip epidemic is raging in the
Capitol City, and fully one-third of the
government employees are sick or suf
fering from the dread disease. Violent
headaches, fever and chills, sneezing and
running at the eyes and nose together
with the bone-racking aches and Dains
and a general exhaustion are the rule
rather than the exception. The best
way to fight the Grip is to strengthen
the nerves and build up the resistive
powers so as to throw off the deadly dis
ease germs, and nothing will do this so
quickly and surely as Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
It has restored health to thousands of
Grip sufferers after every other remedy
had failed.
“When the Grip left me I was a broken
down wreck, both mental and physical.
My nerves were completely unstrung,
my appetite failed, could not sleep and
became so despondent that I despaired
of ever getting well. I began to improve
with the first bottle of Dr. Miles’ Ner
vine and when I had taken seven bottles
I was completely cured. Have been
strong and well ever since and weigh
more than I ever did before.”

THE EXCELLENCE Sr SY® OF FIGS
is due not onjy to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fie Sirup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original rc> cdy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Sxkup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty'
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts cu the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating’ or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company
