sentence our contemporary proceeds to
an elaborate defense of the celebrated
Caldwell resolutions passed more than
six weeks antecedent, when 81, 900 peo-

citizens have not q grain Of corn to

Our cotemporary In it's elaborate
defense OF the Caldwell resolutions
rather conveniently hops over a couple
OF weeks, or more, and works in the
TELEGRAPH rs condemning the cry tor
relief caused by the overflow. We
quote the Herald:
The OUACH1TA TELEGRAPH, not
long ago, took especial pains to fill its
second page with extracts from the
country press to show there was no
alarm; yet over twelve days ago, Mr..
Warren q. Kennedy, president of the
police jury of Ouachita parish, notified
Congressman King and Governor Nc
Emery that It would require 60,O0O
rations to supply the demands of the
sufferers living In the overlooked dis
trict Of that parish.
The extracts published In the TELE-
GRAPH had reference solely to the
Caldwell meeting where few gem
tlemen assembled, before the ove!,ao,o,
and assumed the province to speak for
seven parishes and q portion of two
others, representing that particular
section of the country as In a destitute
condition and the people as applicants
for government aims. As such 1t was a
gross afiront to any people who could
hold nneetihgs for themselves aud are
supposed to know as much at least of
their own necessities as the officials of
Caldwell, or the three tailors of Tooley
street. And In this view of the zeal
and ofaci0usness of the Caldwell gath
ering, nQt alone the press, but the
people Of the parishes not represented
or even invited to attend the meeting
Of Columbia, where 1T is shown they
were not wanted, the Caldwell resolu-
lions were properly denounced. 1t
wasan ante-deluvlan meeting, not with
Noah In attendance.
Not even an overflow will avail to
cover up the ssassumacy" and folly o.
the Columbia meeting of February
8rd. The face of the papers, Judge
will stand.

scribed as four-wheeled vehicle drawn

are coupled together with boards feet
long, which are supposed to have some
native spring IN them. They do spring
down a little in the center. The seat
looks like a box, and is fastened down
across the middle of the boards. The

after trotting pony, at the rate of four
miles an hour. The driver is seated in
the center, and has the mail bags under
his feet across the coupling boards. He

Vandalism at FredonIa.

a letter to THE News says that on
Friday night some unknown parties
effected an entrance 10 the Office of s. S.
kirkpatrick, county attorney of Wilson
county, and cut and tore to pieces over
81 900 worth of law books, pilling the
remains ca the floor. Many valuable
papers were also destro yed. They also
went into his barn and cut TO pieces q
fine new phaton and set of harness.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has, during his term
of Office, made vigorous fight on the
violators of the prohibitory law, and it
is thought by many tina: Friday nights
vandalism was the work of some of this
class. The officers think they have a
sufficient clue 10 enable them to find the
guilty parties. The population is

Elizabeth Steadnan-
Monday complaints was fled be-
fore Justice Bachelor by Hugh VIII
lianas. in which it was charged that
Thos. G. Jones, residing on Coal creek.
had married ais granddaughter and also
alleging that be had maintained adulter-
Gus relations with her prior To the
time of their incestuous union. The
allegation seemed almost too revolving
for belief, but the charges appear to be
fully borne out by The facts III the
case. Jones, it appears, came to
Kansas several years ago from
Allen county, Ohio. and purchased
farm on Coal creek. Several months af
ter, his daughter and her husband. ore
Steadmau, and their family, including
daughter about II years old, came 10
Kansas and took up their residence
with Jones, where they lived until some
months ago, when they went back to
Missouri, the state they came from, leaY-
ing Elizabeth, their eldest daughter,
with her grandfather. Shortly thereafter
Elizabeth Joined her parents in Mis-
souri,, and about six weeks ago
Jones went TO that state,
where it is alleged he married his
granddaughter, whom he brought TO
Kansas and took her TO his home on
Coal creek.
About that time Jones arranged for
the sale of his farm to Charles Cowan,
some money having been paid down at
the time the negotiations ware made
TO fix the bargain, and subsequently u i
tender of further payment was made,
but Jones manifested reluctance tof
close up the matter, saying he would |
sign the deed today, the date he had fix
ed upon for leaving the country to go 10
Wales. He was finally prevafAs1 upon,
however, to convey the property 10 Cow

deed was signed by him.
self and by Elizabeth Jones, nee Stead
man, his wife and his granddaughter.
This fact furnished the main evidence
upon which the arrest was made, and
the parties to the incestuous union were
brought to this city last night by Con-
stable johnson, and lodged in jail.
Jones is sc years old, is spare in form,
gray haired, and is of why, nervous
habit. His wife and granddaughter is
rather fresh, comedy looking young
of 10 years, but among those
who know her, she is not regarded as
very vigorous mind. 1t
was evidently the intention of Jones to
evade the law, by going to Wales with
nis wife, where he hoped to conceal
heir true relations.
The case came up Tor hearing before
Justice Bachelor on Tuesday, County
Attorney Sedgwiek representing the
state, and Scott s. Lynn the defense.
Quite number of witnesses were ex-
imined, and the court, after hearing
he testimony, bound Jones aud his wife
over to the district court, fixing his bail
Ii $3.50 and hers at 500.
