knew of the fine crops OF yellow
Pryor tobacco growing in golden
beauty on its hillsides and valleys,
and especially did he know of the
uncounted hundreds of brave-heart-
ed. strong-armed miners in the
heart of the earth, sending up
thence splendid coal by the hundred
thousand tons-and knowing this,
Sparks AMI the boys who stood by
him, said SETTLE" and settle they
did.
Judge Sparks settled debt of a
millioI dollars, out that was no
great matter. OF Muhlenberg coal

and twenty years later two million
tons betfr- than that we're sent to
market and the money brought back
home. And so happy taxpayers and
bond-holders were smiling as the
curtain was finally rung down on the
tragic performance of Reputation
in old Muhienberg, suggesting the
t.tle OF Shakespeare's comedy: "All's
Well that Ends Well"
Those who intimately knew Judge
CEtiles caves, the Nestor of the
Greenville bar for a half century,
will be grateful to Mr.. Rothert for
this tender allusion to him:
Judge Eaves' life was filed with
profound sorrows that would have
crushed a less philosophic nature
tnaL his. Keen and bitter disap-
ncintments In ris life followed oue
after another. leaving him a desolatc
and lonely mar &"
His nature, which rose above re-
sentiment, and his philosophy, which
contemplated with stoical endurance
all the varying fortunes of life, were
shown by his voluntary appeal, in
simple and direct words, to jury
about to decide the fate of the muir
derer of his daughter. A plea of
guilty had been entered. The deed
was without legal extenuation and,
without hearing evidence, the court
was about to submit the case to the
Jury. At that moment the prescott
ing attorney asked permission for
Judge Eaves to make a statement.
This, although an unusual proceed
ing. was granted by the court. Judge
Eaves, rising and advancing toward
the jury, and speaking slowly with
solemnity and feeling, said
BY permission of the court |
wish to state that | am the father of
Marian Wing. | wish also to state
that it will be satisfactory to me if
the jury will sentence Bert Wing to
ons for this. |, who am siXty-eight
years of age, can not afford to act
against any man from mere resent
ment. | can not help but feel some
pity for a man with whom drinking
was such a disease. Gentlemen, it
will suit me, if it will suit you, to
say in your verdict that his punish
ment shall be confinement in the
penitentiary for life
And such was the verdict.
After the death of Judge Eaves a
poem was found among his personal
papers. The words were in his own
handwriting, and the authorship
seems attributable to him. There
were four stanzas, but only the
fourth is here quoted:
Gods pillow of sorrow! DO not think
Oh, careless soul, that thou shalt
lack.
God is afield, He will not shrink
God is afield, He turns not back.
Deep driven shall the iron be sent
Through all thy fallow fields, until
The stubborn elements relent
And 10, the Plowman hath His
will.
He ploweth we'll. He ploweth deep,
And where He ploweth, angels
reap"

sented by some amount. no matter how modest, be-
fore the flood subscription is completed.

Board.

Des Moines, March 28.-If bottle
Of whisky is found in any drug store
in Iowa, Representative Brockway
wants to fix the laws SO that bottle
of whisky will make prima facie case
of selling liquor without license,
against the proprietor of the drug
store. His bill prohibiting the sale Of
any Intoxicating liquor except raw
alcohol by drug stores, passed tho
house this morning IS to 81.
It provides If any other liquor than
five gallons of alcohol is found in a
drug store, the proprietor may be ar
raigned on an illegal liquor selling
charge. Alcohol only may be sold by
physicians prescription under the
bill.
An amendment, offered by Miller Of

Provides Physical Valuation.
When the senate adjourned at noon
today 1t had adopted an amendment to
the pubic utilities bill offered by
Allen OF Pocahontas, that virtually
gives all the powers of the proposed
tax commission to the public utilities
commission. 1t provides physical valu-
alton Of all utilities within the state
by the commission and these valua-
tion figures will have to be used by
the executive council in determining
taxation of public service corporations.
The senate this morning concurred
in the house amendment to the high
way commission bill, which now goes
to the governor for his signature.
Revision of the schools of the state
was completed in the senate when the
Savage bill, making the office of state
superintendent appointive, was
passed. The senate has now passed
bills carrying out in large part the
recommendations of the educational
commission. The bills must now pass
the house.

Increase of pay for prison wardens
to $3.50 a month is provided in a bill
which passed the senate. Wages for
other classes of prison labor Is also

probably will be presented to the gov
ernor for his signature late today.

RIVER RISING
. At CINCINNATI
VERY RAPIDLY
Stage Advancing so Fast
Fears are Entertained
for Repetition of High
Mark Of February, 1884.
RAPID RISE AT
WHEELING, w. VA,

Cincinnati, O., March 2S.-The Ohio
river still is rising. East and west OF
this city on the Ohio side of the river,
the lowlands have been inundated and
much damage has been done. In the
lowlands of the city many houses have
been flooded Across the river at New.
port and Covington, KY, similar condi-
tions prevail. n
Dayton and Ludlow, other Kentucky
suburbs of this city, also are sufferers
from the rising food and many houses
are completely under water.
No lives have been lost in this dis
trict. The weather bureau predicts
the river will have reached stage
of nearly seven feet by tonight, al
most as high as it was February IA,
1884, when the guage showed seventy
one feet, the highest on record.
Hopeful at Wheeling.
Wheeling, w. Va, March 2S-The
Ohio river at this point reached sos
feet today and was rising two inches
an hour. The report from Pittsburgh
that the Ohio was stationary at that
place was most encouraging news to
the entire Wheeling district and gave
hope that the predicted record-break-
ing flood would not develop.
Hundreds of persons driven from
their homes by the high water walked
the streets Of this city and surround
ing towns during the night unable to
secure shelter There was little actual
suffering, however, as the night was
not cold.
Five Feet Rise Last Night.
Evansville, Ind, March 28-The Ohio
river today showed a rise OF five feet
and two-tenths since last night and
Forecaster Brand issued q warning
that all stock and movable property
affected by 48 foot stage OF the river
should be removed before sundown.
Mayor Heilman is directing the col
lection of skiffs and motor boats to
carry people from fiooued districts. In
addition the city authorities are con-
structing flood gates to keep the rising
waters out of the city.
A record-breaking food stage of the
river is feared.
Rescue Parties Resume Work.
Columbus, O., March 28.-Some
definite idea as to the total number
of persons who lost their lives on the
west side of Columbus when the Scioto
river flood broke through the levee, is
expected to be gained today. At day
break this morning hundreds of res
cue and relief parties started for the
flood section with supplies Of clothing,
food and fuel.
Today dawned crisp and cold but
clear and indications are that 1t Will
get much warmer during the day.
Flood sufferers suffered greatly last
night and this morning from the cold.
However, the river Is receding rapidly
and rescue parties will be able to
reach many inundated sections OF the
west side which were under water
yesterday.
West Columbus remains practically
under martial law. Militia companies
on duty have been ordered to shoot
looters on sight Thousands of curl
GUS people and those with friends and
relatives in the flooded districts are
being kept out of the west side BY
police and troopers.

lief work will reach at least $4,000 in
cash and four carloads Of provisions.

Former Springs Man Makes
Few Remarks on California
Colorado Springs Telegraph

Santa Barbara. Cal. June 20. 1913.
To the Editor of The Evening Tele-
graph:
have seen several articles in your
paper regarding California and from
my experience here the past two
months will say they meet my ap-
proval. Some way should be devised
to enlighten the middle or working
classes farther east OF the actual con-
ditions here. l would not like to have
the people here read this letter, espe-
cially II they knew who wrote II, as
anyone sending out adverse reports or
any news that keeps the suckers away
is considered a knocker, and knockers
are treated worse than Apache Indians
ever treated prisoners.
Comparing this town to Colorado
Springs the difference would be as be-
tween heaven and hades. This town
is dirty, dusty and filthy. Within five
blocks OF the main street is the city
dump, in a swamp of about 20 acres
Of as dirty and filthy water and seep-
age from the town as one would ever
see. 1t seems optional whether or no
people have sewer connections and
during damp weather these closets
can be smelled all over the city.
Living is easily one-third higher
than in Colorado. by comparing prices
published in your paper with those
prevailing here tell the story, and we
have found that it's a wise policy to
see the goods that you purchase. Veg
Ietables and fish are somewhat cheap
