THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

The Rise at New Orleans Continuing
New Orleans, April 22.-At midnight
the city guage showed 1913 above low
water, and at the present rate of rise
the early prediction of twenty feet will
probably be realized. The crest of the
flood wave is now supposed to be below
Vicksburg, and with a clear track, I'M
encountered by crevasses, will reach
here in three or four days Even with
good weather the strain will be terrific.
and study of the weather charts
shows that rain is almost certain to
come. Escape with solid front below
the present Louisiana breaks, if ac-
complished, will be due to the magnifi-
cent work of the levee defenders.

William S. Holman of Aurora was
born at a pioneer homestead called
Weraestau in Dearborn county, Ind, on
the 6th of September, 1922, and received
a common school education. After
wards he studied at Franklin
college, Indiana, for two years. He
then taught school for some time, and
later on studied and practiced law.
From 1S43 to 1916 he was judge of the
court of probate, and from 1S47 to 1S49
he was prosecuting attorney. He was
member of the constitutional canven-
ton of Indiana in 1850, and in the fol-
lature From 1852 to 1856 he was a
Judge of the court of common pleas.
At the expiration of his term he was
elected to congress, and since then has
served almost continuously, having been
a member of the Thirty sixth, Thirty
seventh, Thirty eighth, Fortieth, Forty
first, Forty second Forty third, Forty
fourth, Forty-seventh, Forty eighth,
Forty ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first, Fifty
second, Fifty-third and Fifty-fifth con-
gress.
Mr. Holman became prominent in
congress as the champion of ''econo-
N.Y." He was always objecting to new
ropriations-except, as his enc
mics alleged, when they We're for the
benefit of his own "deestrict." BY this
policy he has often rendered the public
a needed SERVICE but he was quite as
apt to be found fighting wise and es-
sentia1 expenditures as unnecessary
and extravagant ones, especially in the
matter of decent salaries for scientific
men in the employ of the government,
He grew more querulous and unreason-
able with the advance of age, so that
his well-founded protests against reck-
| less appropriations ceased to carry
weight, and his death is not loss to
congress.

actly where the leak was. If the com
missioners had looked over the jury
scrip and the expenses of running all
the courts in Ell Paso they would have

eating up the cash of Ell PasO county.
The judges are not particular enough
in jury cases and the result is that
when district court is in session it costs
the county about $50 day and this
runs on for eight months in the year.
In civil cases where there is a jury
the party who demands jury has to
put up five dollar fee, and if the case
lasts several days the jurors draw two
dollars day and the county has to pay
the difference between the actual costs
and the five dollars put up by one of
the parties in civil case. In some
cases a man sues for $50 and the case
costs the county $50 before it is over
and there is no rake back. No matter
what the com missioners do the county
will never be out of debt until the jury
laws are changed so that litigants in
civil cases pay all the costs OF the
court.
