MOTHER.

Special to the Iowa State Bystander:
What is to be thought of her, who
followed us with heart and PRAYER.
who lived in our lives and sorrowed
IN our grief, who spoke no dialect
but that of love. Who welcomed US
coming and blessed US in going. Go
where we may, nothing is far to a
mother. She girdles the whole globe
with her love, and encircles her child
If he be on the face of the earth.
Oh how the battles of life drive our
thoughts back to the old homestead.
Though the world be against us,
friends and associates forsake us,
we can 60 to mother, who is ever the
same. Would we but go and sit
around the old hearth that light and
love swept, ana how could we leave
that spot without remembering one
form, that bank where we deposited
all our hurts and worries.
Where is the artist, and where is
brush and paint that can lend the
colorlng to the old homestead and
mother.
Now, when weary of the world
that is SO unfeeling and tired of men
that are so hard and selfish, it is
then our souls become untuned and,
dlscordant, and some unknown
power we seem to hear the well re-
membered tones of a voice long 81
lent, she who watched over us. loved
us, protected and defended us.
All from love, deep pure fervent
iove. There is neither, heights,
depths or bounds to mothers love.
IL is the most perfect reflection ever
thrown back from the mirror of n
human heart, which creates that
yearning of the heart which can
never be eraced.
Backward, turn backward,
Oh time in your flight,
Make me child again..
Just for tonight.
But since we cannot call her back,
and how well do we remember the
tired look so full of love and patti
ence, and remembering our ingrati-
tude, we sometimes think that our
hearts must have been stone not to
have been moved by that look. With
humility we acknowledge. What her
NE could not do her death shall ef-
feet for she is through with this
world of sorrow and has Joined that
innumerable band.
Where in sweet communion blend
Heart with heart and friend with
friend,
In world that never shall end.
Mrs. A. o. Smith.

None of the Governors nor their Attor-
ney Generals have yet reached Helena.
Governor J. K. Toole informed The Call
this afternoon that undoubtedly Governor
Van SAINT of Minnesota, Governor Herried
of South Dakota and Governor Hunt of
Idaho will arrive at 1920 o'clock to-mor-
row morning. The recent death Of Gov
ernor Rogers of Washington makes it I'M
certain whether that State will be repre-
sented at the conference by other than
Attorney General W. S. Stratton. who will
surely be here. If arrangements for the
funeral of the late Governor permit his
successor, Governor Mcbride, probably
will be here.

and sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, and then
transferred to Vicksburg, where he was
subsequently exchanged. Military honors
now crowded upon him. In the spring of
1853 he was elected a lieutenant colonel
in the Confederate cavalry and in that
capacity took part in all the battles in
the valley of Virginia in 1S63-64 His bril-
liant record as soldier, together with his
popularity as a man and comrade in
arms, prompted the soldiers to elect him
to the Legislature of Virginia. and the
winter Of 1896 he spent at Richmond.
At the close of the war he came to Cali
fornia with the intention of practicing
law, but on account of his political ante
cedents he was debarred by statutory en-
actment. He thereupon sought and OBJ
tanned an appointment with Wells, Fargo
& Co. and was ordered to Victoria, B. c.,
where he remained till 1871, when he was
appointed agent at Portland, Or.
While serving at Portland Colonel
Evans acted as supervising agent for
Oregon and Washington Territory. Later
he was made superintendent of the north
western division. In 1888 he was trans
ferred to Omaha, Nebr., and in the same
year he was made general superintendent
Of the central department. On December
1, 1891, he was sent to New York to take
charge Of the Atlantic department, and
since that date he has continued as man
ager. On August IL, 1892 he was elected
one Of the board Of directors and made
second vice president of the company,
which position he filled with signal sue
cess ever since.
Personally, Colonel Evans is an affable
gentleman. His popularity among his as
sociates is unbounded, and the news of
his forthcoming elevation to the presi-
dency of the concern with which he has
so long been identified will be received
with pleasure by all with whom he has
been in any way associated.

That the confidence of the directors in
Evans will not be misplaced by promot-
ing him to the responsible position Of
president Of the company is evidenced by
his sterling qualities as man and official,
so often displayed in his management of
the New York office. Colonel Evans
career has been one of extreme activity
and brilliant achievements. He was born
near Morgantown, Monongahela County,
Va, now West Virginia, January q, 1898.
He is descended from an old Welsh fam
lily, his -great-grandfather having
been one of three brothers who settled
in Philadelphia in 172O. His forbears took
an active part in the colonial wars and in
the war of the Revolution. His grand
father, Dudley Evans, was a colonel I'M
der General Harrison in the war of 1872,
and while in command of a regiment of
Virginia militia was stationed at Fort
Meigs.
The youthful days Of Evans were spent
on the farm. At the age Of 10 he attend
ed the Monongahela Academy, where he
was prepared for college. He subsequent
ly entered the Junior class at Washington
College, Pennsylvania, and graduated in
1853. A few months later he went to
Louisiana, where he resided at the out
break Of the Rebellion. Having an inclina-
ton for more stirring action he returned
TO Virginia, and on his arrival at Beverly
he fell in with the Confederate troops in
camp near that place and remained there
until the battle of Rich Mountain. He
subsequently Joined the Confederate army
at Manassas, under the command of Cen
erals Beauregard and Johnston. After the
battle Of Seven Pines he was commits
stoned a captain in the Virginia State
troops, which were subsequently turned
over to the Confederate army.
