WAS GENERALLY BELOVED.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Senato
BENJAMIN F. Shively, of Indiana, re
Gently elected vice chairman Of the
Democratic caucus, spoke tenderly
and affectionately today Of his late col
league, Senator Anselm j. McLaurir
Of Mississippi. whose sudden death
was a sorrowful shock to his friends
and admirers in Washington.
Senator Shively has this to say o.
his late friend and associate:
Senator McLaurin was one Of the
most lovable men | ever knew. He
was the embodiment Of the chivalry
and hospitality for which the South
has long been distinguished, and every
man in the Senate was his personal
friend.
AS lawyer, he ranked among the
foremost in the country, and in the
practice Of the criminal branch OF the
profession he had few equals in the
United States.
Ills death was a great loss, not
only to the State Of Mississippi. but
the South and the Democratic party as
well"
With special reference to Senator
McLaurins gentle nature and Gener-
GUS hospitality, evidences Of which
upon unexpected occasion had i'm
pressed Senator Shively, he said:
Senator McLaurin's readiness to
show q favor or a courtesy even to the
ifhumblest citizen was proverbial. !
recall an incident that happened last
summer within the capitol grounds.
Senator McLaurin was hurrying to-
wards the Senate chamber one morn
ing when he was halted by an aged
negro, who asked to be directed to a
bnil5ipG in the vicinity. In voice
ssM q kindness. Senator McLaurin
tried to direct the old man. VIII, was
either too dense or too bewildered to
comprehend the information. Realiz-
ing the distress Of his humble inquirer.
Senator McLaurin told the old negro
to follow him and he would take him
to the place. The distance was quite
two blocks, but McLaurin walked III
with him"
Capt. James F. Edwards. who has
been doorkeeper on the Democratic
side Of the Senate for thirty-6ve years,
said Of Senator McLaurin:
He was the most popular man in
the Senate since Walthall."
In government circles there were
many expressions Of regret today at
the death Of Senator McLaurin, who
was generally beloved.

WOMAN AND BABE
RESCUED FROM FLOOD
Especial to the "News.")

Especial aLIle NEW
Ephraim, Aug 1s.--This city today
experienced one OF the worst floods
known in its history which caused much
damage to the crops as well as the
homes and business houses of the city.
Large bouldcrs and debris came down,
the canyon by the wagonload, covering
the streets, the interior of buildings
and residences. and passed through the
city to the grain and alfalfa fields be-:
yond. In one instance, in the southeast
part of the city, lady was found In
water and mud to her waist. She was
holding q month-old babe in her arms
and screaming for help. She was res
cued by men on horses.
The loss to the farmer as well as to
the business man will amount to no
small sum- This flood blocked the r.
G. w. train from the north to this city
until evening. as the track was covered
with several feet OF mud and water.
The r. G.. w. from the south was also
detained until midnight last night be-
cause of floods in Salina, Richfeld and
other small towns in Sewer county. The
rains throughout this section have been
exceptionally heavy the past few days
and il is feared that the farmers will
lose considerable grain and feedstnff.
BY night, the water has lowered consid-
cradle, but the streets stand with mud
for several inches deep on them.
