panoramic spectacles. The destruction
of the CITY by food is shown with real
istic effects that are most impressive
Another new feature will be a "triI

No Indictment YET found.

Grand jury secrets are not leak
ing out in very large sluices this
session of court, but from what
can be learned ii may be stated
with every degree Of assurance
that nothing whatever has been
done in the case that is closest to
the citizens of jackson. This is
not because of any lack Of enter
prise or enthusiasm on the part
of the members of the grand jury,
for every single one Of them is
fully alive to the Importance of
The case and the necessity Of do
ing something to put an everlast-
ing stop to such fiendishness in
jackson and Kinds county.
The truth Of the matter is that
the earth seems to have opened
and swallowed the beast ii human
form that outraged the white
woman in the very heart Of the
city of jackson three weeks ago,
and those charged with bis discov-
cry and bis arrest are iustas much
at sea now as ever they were.
