Many Friends Grieved to
Learn of Death of Mrs.
Warren Lewis.
FUNERAL HERE TODAY
Deceased Was Loved and Known
Here as Miss Eula
Eicholtz

The sad intelligence of the
death of Mrs. Warren Lewis,
which occurred in Memphis
Tuesday night, came as a great
shock to her many relatives and
friends here, where she was
reared and loved as Eula Eich-
oltz.
After graduating from the In
dustrial Institute and College in
1907, Miss Eicholtz was married
the following year to Mr.. War
rem Lewis of Greenwood, and
one child blessed their home.
For some time Mrs. Lewis had
been suffering from a complica-
ton of diseases, and a few weeks
ago she was taken to a Memphis
hospital, where she had every
attention in the way of medical
skill, and tender and careful at
tention. Her devoted mother,
Mrs. Lallie Eicholtz, and loving
husband remained by her bed
side, but she gradually grew
worse, and the end came peace
fppy and beautifully, as her
81 bet young life was spent
.Idrs. Lewis was a faithful
member of the Methodist church,
aid when quite young began to
Eve much cf her time 70 Sunday
s,hool work. and other work
tending to the uplift of human
ity. She passed to the Great
Beyond, and there is no doubt in
our minds but that she has
heard the plaudits of Him who
said, well done thou good and
faithful servant, enter thou Unto
the joys of thy Lore" "
The remains were brought to
Columbus yesterday evening,
and the funeral services will be
held from the First Methodist
church this morning at 10:30.
Interment will take place in
Friendship cemetery.

CHARGED THE FINE.
Judge Even Contributes so Cents to
Help Defendant Out Of Town.

Help Defendant Out OF Town.
Special to Times Republican.
Usage, Feb. lO.-Asking the judge to
charge your fine is certainly the
height Of something or other" and yet
that is what James Ross. of Water
loo, did here the other day; and the
beauty Of it is he got away with it.
He was in Usage, so he said, soliciting
printing for Waterloo offices. On his
way up here. a good customer at
Waverly offered him a drop of some-
thing warm and tho he didn't like
whisky, he hadn't the heart to offend the
friend SO he took a couple of swallows.
The booze did not get in its work un-
til after he had reached Usage, but
here he fell asleep in an easy chair in
one of the banks. slumbering peace
fully until his sifsta was rudely dis
turbed by the ely marshal.
When taken before Justice Slough
ton he told an appealing story of bad
luck and begged the judge not to send
him to Jail but to impose fine on him
and let him send it when he had re-
turned to Waterloo. He promised that
the money should reach here by We'd
nesday at the latest. The judge and his
friend. County Attorney \. E. Brown.
decided to try the experiment and not
only suspended collection Of the 80
fine and costs, but lent Ross so cents
with which to get out Of town. Tho
failed to bring the remit
lance, Justice Stoughton is still hope
full that his man will not fail him.

Washington. Feb. 1o.-President-
Elect Woodrow Wilson will have put
up to him in forcible fashion in the
next few days the fitness Of Hon. Jerry
Sullivan for a place in the cabinet. The
support which Mr.. Sullivan gave to
Governor Wilson when the latter was
seeking the nomination WILL naturally.
be referred to. but his especial fitness
for any position which the next presi-
dent will have at his disposal will be
given the most attention. The record
made by Iowa in the last campaign
will be touched upon and, in fact.
nothing which might tend to cause
Governor Wilson to favorably consider
the claims of one of it's distinguished
citizens will be overlooked.
While Governor Wilson's assertion
that he has not yet definitely decided
upon his cabinet, is accepted in good
faith. and it is believed that he is yet
of an open mind as regards the person
mel of that body, still it is generally be-
lieved that unless something develops
to cause him to change his mind the
secretaryship of state, the secretary
ship of the treasury, and the attorney
generalship are about the same as
placed. This would leave an opening
for Mr.. Sullivan. If Iowa were recog-
nized, among the other portfolios. the
postmaster generalship, and the secre-
taryship of the navy, war. commerce
and labor. interior and agriculture.
Judge Wade may take up political
claims Of other kinds with the presi-
dent elect but this is doubtful. Cab
met making may be properly be taken
up with the latter at this time but
other patronage matters may not.
