Rise In White River.

People living along the White.
river were surprised last week.
when that stream started to
rise. No rains had been report
ed from above and the sky was
clear. The water rose about 4
feet, then stopped rising alb
ruptly and started to fall, which
was a very erratic and unex-
planned phenomenon.
The phenomenon was short
lived, however, for upon in
quiry it was found that the en-
gineers, who were placing the e.
lectrical machinery in the big
power dam at BransOn, Missou-
ri, had opened up the gates and
let the big head of water out in
order to place turbines in the
bottom of the power tubes. The
big plant will be given it's first
trial some time in August. -

WingO and the Currency Bill.

Very complimentary to Con-
gresham Wingo and gratifying
to his friends is the prominence
he has reached in so important
a matter rs the currency bill ad-
vocated by President Wilson.
1t appears that friction develop
ed in the house banking and cur
rency committee, the chairman.
Mr.. Glass not being in harmony
at all points with the presidents
views and wishes. Mr.. Wingo
succeeded in having adopted
several amendments not favor
ed by the committee chairman
and several others which the
chairman had been unable to
have adopted. To cap the eli
max of Mr.. Wingo's activities,
his course in committee had
been noted by the president and
the latter called Mr.. Wingo to
the White House and there held
a long conference with him as
to future committee action. it
being stated that, as g result
Mr.. Wingo might be asked to
take charge of the bill in COM
mittee as the personal repre-
sentative of the president. The
committee chairman is reported
to be not at all pleased with the
turn affairs have taken.
For a new member, in his
first session, to attain pronai-
nence in a matter of so great
Importance as an administration
currency reform bill is little less
than remarkable and proves
quite conclusively that Mr.. Win
go is making good, with q pros
pect of making lasting and
notable reputation.

GENERAL RAIN
BENEFITS CROPS
Extended Over the Entire
County But Was Light In
Glass Township.

The rain of Friday night
proved heavy and general over
the county, but too light in
Glass Township to prove as
beneficial to crops as in the
larger part of the county.
Crop prospects are reported
the best in many years and the
rain Of Friday night adds the
finishing touch to much corn
that was beginning TO need
moisture badly. The bottom
and middle crop of cotton has
fruited well and an August in
keeping with the early summer
will bring a large yield of the
fieecy staple.

and east of Newport is said to
have been even heavier While

ILLINOIS VICE COMMITTEE TO
 INFORM PRESIDENT.

 Called to Preserve Order.

Springfield, H., May Aid Of the United States government to cor rect conditions existing in Springfield was asked by Lieut.-Goy. O'Hara, chairman of the Illinois senate white slave committee, following a night session here at which police were called to eject disturbers.
 The lieutenant-go governor sent a tele- gram to Congressman Robert Hill of Marion, H., asking him to lay before President Wilson a transcript of the testimony taken at the Springfield hearings of the committee. The com- mittee has obtained testimony that girls of 15 or 16 received $3.50 and $4 for 55 or 50 hours work at the Springfield plant of the International Shoe company, a $25,000,000 St. Louis corporation.
 The climax of the last hearing came when "Bill' Alexander, fore man over IA young girls in the shoe factory, was called to the stand. Sev- eral of the girls had testified as to his cursing them and driving them to work harder. Part of the crowd in the hearing room kept up continual handclapping, stamping of feet and whistling, and Lieut-Gov O'Hara called detail of police, who elected the noise-makers.
 Organized opposition to the com mittee has been manifested in Spring field, and it was understood that two of the leading attorneys Of the city had been retained to begin legal steps to obstruct the Investigation by tying up the $10,000 Legislative appropria- tion for the committee expenses.
