conviction for felony and that was set
aside on motion for re.hearing. The case
OF Lula V. Jones vs. William Gibson Jones,
divorce suit, tried at the last term of the
district court in this county, having been
appealed to the supreme court by G. II.
Plowmau. who was representing Mr.. Jones,
was recently. affirmed by the supreme
court. Judge M. L. Crawford and Colonel
W. P. Mclean. we're the counsel for Mrs.
most noted divorce cases that has
ever come up in the history of Camp
county. The action of the supreme court
gives universal satisfaction here, as all
who know Mrs, Jones know that she was
right, that her cause was just one and
that in her purity and innocence she scars
far above the assaults and ieers of the op.
position.
Rev. R. Lane was in town to-day attend
ing the first quarterly conference OF the
Methodist church at this place.
Main Coos circus was in town Saturday.
Americans he met at the great banquet 10
the Hotel Lafayette, which formed the
official beginning of the Willard junket:
"The festivities in the Hotel Lafayette
were participated in by several people who
can claim special attention. There was,
in the first place, the presidentcf the Uni
ted States, Mr.. Arthur, who had just return
ed from the Yellowstone park, and whose
sun-burnt complexion told OF It, that he bad
Just been enjoying a vacation. President
Arthur makes a good and distinguished
impression. He possesses broad, not high,
but well-made forehead, a little stumpy
nose wears his mustache and side-whiskers
cropped short and his chin smooth-shaven.
His eyes are not very large, but unusually
animated and of very sympathetic express
sion. His figure is tall and elastic, his car
riage faultless. He dresses with great care,
even with a certain coquetry. He looks
more like an Englishman Of noble birth
than like an American, In his entire out
ward appearance he Is very different from
his predecessor, General Grant, who was
also among the invited guests.
General Grant is the opposite OF all
which can be called elegant. He is barely
of medium height, heavy set, with broad
shoulders, his motions are slow, languid
and awkward. His head is thick and any,
thing but imposing. He wears full beard
cropped short. Forehead and eyes are
meaningless and special characteristics are
wanting entirely. Never should suspect
this man, who neglects his outward appear
ance in an almost iDexcusable manner, to
be the statesman who conducted the affairs
of one of the greateSt nations ofthe world,
never the general who has won brilliant vic
tories. General Grant was with US on a.
most tne entlre Journey. nave ua'e.eu
with him thousands of miles and had
chance to LOOK at him closely. But the
more searchingly looked into his face the
less remarkable it appeared TO me. He
looks exactly like a harmless brewer from
a medium-sized country town who has got
along in the world.
Every interesting, however. is the head
Of third OF the honored guests, OF Mr..
Eyarts, formerly secretary OF state, who IS
considered one of the greatest orators and
wittiest after-dinner takers in the United
States. This he knows, Of course, very
well. and the minute he opens his mouth
his whole face is lit mp by feeling OF SOW
ereign superiority, Of happy seltconten,-
ment ami imperturbRble assurance: This
mouth has opened frequently; that is east
ly seen. IL possesses the agility OF var.
tuoso and its dimensions are OF the proud.
est The mouth is the ruling feature OF
thisface. No mustache is permitted TO hide
the strong lips, their. wrinkled surround
ings and the cheering apparatus. Ihe face
is . small one, cut sharp. and has shrewd
expression which is anything but winsome.
Evsrts looks like an ACTOR who is strong In
low comedy and in character parts"
