It is one of the neatest litcle contrivances ever seen and there is big money in it.

Almost Done-

W. M. White has almost completed the transcript of the evidence in the Pefctit case, the testimony of two or three experts being all that remains to be completed. As soon as the Clerk finishes his part of the work the ponderous bulk of evidence will be ready for the Supreme Court. Mr. White has been ably assisted in his work by Miss Ritta Metcalf, of Anderson, and Miss Matie Keeney, of this city, both of whom are accomplished stenographers.

An Exciting Runaway.

Wednesday, while turning a corner on south Walnut street the horses attached to the milk wagon ol David Martin became frightened and turned the wagon over. This feat accomplished, they ran away. Wm. Everson, the driver was inside and so boxed up that he could not get out. The milk cans upset and drenched him in t&e preoious fluid, while glass and tin ware rattled about his head promiscuously as the overturned vehicle jolted over the rough street. When he finally esoaped he was badly cut up and received treatment at the home of Fred Sheeiz. The wagon was utterly demolished, and would hardly make kindling wood.

An Anniversary Surprise.

Wennesday was the fifth anniversary of the wedding of J. W. Skidmore aud wife aud was observed in a most appropriate manner. In the evening about 30 of their friends tendered them a surprise at the home on south Plum street and it was a surprise in every sense o* the word. It being the wooden wedding a large number of suitable gifts were presented and a choice oyster supper prepared by the guests. This disposed of, the company beguiled the time with cards, dancing and other amusements until a late hour. The occasion was a most enjoyable one and all adjourned with congratulations .to Mr. Skidmore and wife.

To Reclaim tlie Southwest. The Indianapolis News on Jan. 13 contained a lengthy article on the research to be made into the plant life of the arid southwest with the hope that it may be reclaimed. The various species of the cactus are now about the only plants that flourish there. Dr. George Vnsey has discovered some grasses which ho believes would grow there and which would convert these great deserts into pasture lands. With this end in view and also to obtain a great exhibit for the Columbian expo sition, Prof. John M. Coulter, who has the work in hand will enter the field in person. The people of the Southwest, as well as all botanists, look forward to the work with great interest as it is believed the work will result in incalculable benefit to the. country.

Pralev-Swift.

On Tuesday, Charles M. Fraley nnd Miss Jessie F. Swift wore uuited in marriage by Rev. G. W. Switzer at the home of the bride's parents ou east Jefferson street. There were no invited guests present and only the immediate relatives. The ceromony over, the bride aud groom to-k the train at the Monou for their future home near Linden where they will go to house keeping at once. While tho wedding is not a surprise it occurred unexpectedly, aud only a select few got to "xten.l congratulations before the happy couple had left ti city. The contracting parties are too well known in tho city aud county to need any in trod notion aud only a few words need bo said. Tho bride has been one of our city's moat beautiful and accomplished young ladies aud her popularity is only limited by her acquaintance. She is in every way worthy of the young gentleman to whom she has baeu wedded. Mr. Fralev is one of tho most prosperous and prominent farmers of the county aud a man honcred by all who know him. The marriage is a most happy one and THE JOUIINAL extends congratulations.

Decision Affirmed-

The Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the circuit court in the case of Harmon Hiatt against W. H. Durham. It will be remembered that Mr* Hiatt brought suit agaiut-t Mr. Durham to reoover a sum of money IU a deal in real estate in Tennessee. The defendant orally employed plaintiff to trade certain property in Indiana for certain property in Tennessee, and to pay the difference in money to bo furnished by defendant. When the trade was made and the title acquired to the Tennessee lands they were to become partners to use the laud together, sell the timber and lands and divide the profits. Under this state of facts Hiatt obtained judgment for §1,000. Durham appealed and the Supreme Court affirmed the decision, holding that tho contract was uot within tho Btatute prohibiting the bringing of an action on an oral agreement not to be performed within a year. The attorneys for the plaintiff, Paul& Humphries, were to receive half of the amount of the judgment as their fees and have filed a lien to secure them.

General Oarrington's Find. A remarkable Stone Image has been found on the Tusoarora Indian Reservation. It was unearthed by Gen. Carrington while taking a census and investigating the tribe's condition for the Government, and will be placed in the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. There is evidence that the mound from which it was taken is several hundred years old. The image itself is about 8 inches high by 4 inches wide. The prmcipal figure stands with upturned faca which is chiselled with far more skill than the red men generally possess. At one side, as if enfolded by the left arm of a parent, is a small figure, quite indistinct. Underneath is some animal having unmistakably the tail of a sheep. The whole at once suggests the story of Abraham's preparation to offer up his only son Isaac in accordance with the command of his God.—Boston Transcript, Jan. 2.

Will Not Sue-

The rumor has been current on the streets for the last few days that F. T. Luse, of the Review, would sue John L. Goben for turning over tho couaty printing to a rival alter Luse encouraged by Goben's promises had gone to great exprense in getting ready. Iiumor had it that the suit would bo filed in a few days, and to settle the question THE JOUKNAL interviewed Mr. Luse on the subject and secured in answer to a straight question, the response "Sue lmrt what would I would I want to sue HIM for. I don't want anything to do with the two faced pup. I learned him two yeara ago and had known for three months that the flying dog would probably play mo the trick he did. No, I rockonl am not going to sue HIM,"
