TO Unvcil Statue to Stephen ID. Lee.

New Orleans, April AT a meet
ing at the headqua 3ers of the United
Confederate Veterans here to-day, It
was decided that the statue of Gen.
stephen ID. Lee late commander-in-
chief, at VicksbuJ g, Miss, should be
unveiled Friday, June II, at 2 o'clock

veterans to attend the reunion and
the unveiling of the monument on
the same trip.
Representatives of the railroads
entering Vicksburg attended to-day's
meeting and agreed to give reduced

Queer English Laws.
(London Graphic.)

NNohNoL dplllC.D
mo statute law of England ever
can be obsolete" a legal journal
says. "Once enacted, it continues in
binding force until repealed"
If such be really the case, there
ought to be some lively times ahead
for several classes Of the community.
For'instance, what will builders have
to say to the act which penalties
any person who erects a house with
out attaching to it at least four
acres OF land? This was one of
good Queen Bess'" laws, and it has
most certainly never been repealed.
BY another uprepealed statute,
which dates back to the first year OF
k1ng James |, it is enacted that not
more than penny may be charged
Tor quart Of the best old ale nor
more than a half-penny for a like
Quantity Of small beer. The penalty
for each infraction of the act is 20
shillings, so that if it were rigidly
enforced it would not need, appar-
emily, licensing bill to ruin the
brewers. Then again, a Catholic
owning horse is still legally OBJ
liged to sell it for s5 to anybody who
chooses to offer that sum for it.

Claims Brother Kidnapped Sister

Rome, Ga, April "A rather ne
cu!iar case Of kidnapping has devel-
open in this county 1t seems that
Leona Beck, a young girl IA years of
age, did not get along with her mo-
ther, who lived in Cedartown, and
had been living with her brothers in
Chulio district, this county. A ha-
Deas corpus proceeding was recently
taken out by the mother OF the girl,
and she was awarded to the mother.
The girl did not return with her mo-
ther, but went back home with her
brothers, with whom. she had been
living.
"A few days ago S. M. Beck, an
uncle of the girl, procured an order
of court and had the girl returned
to the mother. Shortly after that
Marshall Beck, one of the brothers
with whom she had been residing.
went to Cedartown, got possession of
the girl and took her back to his
home in Chulio district 1t was at
this point that the uncle got out a
warrant against Marshall Beck for
kidnapping, and one against the girl
for misdemeanor, supposed to be on
account of difficulty with her mo-
ther.
The girl has been returned to the
mother.

About twenty years agosC. T. Wat
ION of Reno was visiting at his old
home in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas,
and then persuaded friend TO send to
California for alfalfa seed for expert

nan had 800 acres of alfalfa, and
numerous other small patches we're
started III order in other parts of the

MIR. Watson returned short time

and states that Kansas now has BOO
900 acres in alfalfa, and that in his
home county (Chase) there are seven

Alfalfa hay sells there ut $S and SO
