card" said in jest. Wednesday morn
ing we received from Colonel G w.
Kaley, who is hobnobbing with the
President and Senators in Washing
ton, d. G., postal card containing
$500. The card is made from pulp
manufactured from bank bills which
have been redeemed and macerated by
the treasury department at Washing
ton. The bills have not been so thor
oughly ground up but that Fragments
of them are plainly discernible all
through the card. The card is esti-
mated to contain 5000 in destroyed
currency, and on the reverse side
Colonel Haley facetiously remarks,
"You can pay your help with this"
We wish we could, but, as that is out
of the question, we shall keep the card
as pocket-piece.

Adultery Not CHARGED.

In our item in last weeks issue con-
cerning the Parkinson divorce case we
stated that Mrs. Parkinson had been
granted divorce on the grounds of
adultery and cruelty. The attorney
for the defense has called our atten-
tion to the fact that adultery was not
charged in the plaintiffs petition. and
that Judge Adams did not consider
the testimony along that line as strong
enough to warrant verdict on that
ground, the testimony along that line
being merely incidental. Such errors
are bound to get into newspapers oc-
casionally when information is receiv'
ed secondhand.
