From Fridays Daily.
The ir:ai Ct the $500 PERSONAL
injury suit of Arne johnson against
the village of Lake Crystal was com
pleted this forenoon, and the case
was placed in the hands of the jury at
2:20 p. m. today, in the district court.
Judge Pau discharged all of the
jurors for the term this afternoon,
rot feeling that he has time &c try
any more jury cases before the Feb
ruary term of court, and all jury cases
were continued until then. In discharg-
ing the jurors, Judge Pau stated that
he had decided not to order pay for
them while they were at their homes
during he Ledbctcr murder trials, but to
pay them for days that they were
held in readiness. such as Saturdays.
This, the Jurors, say, allows them five
extra days, and they seem inclined to
accept the courts decision.
Judge Pau has special term of
court at ST. James which he feels
that he must hold, and he will have
to hear the Smith motion for IL new
trial and other matters, and feels that
his time will be taken up until the
February term. This term has been
Il long siege, but Judge Pau says that
he did rot excuse the jurors on that
account, Us he feels able to proceed
with the jury cases, if he had the time.
The February term opens week
from Tuesday, SO that the putting
cause much delay.

Had they been printed they purchance had not survived so long. and certainly they would have picqued ones curiosity less powerfully. They are manuscripts. on rough and aged note paper, written in characters not unlike the autograph of "Wm. Shakespeare, and to all appear ances might as well date from 1908 as from 177S But they are actually dated, and here lies their interest. One goes as far back as 172S. and the most recent year mentioned is 1779 The years given most frequently are TIT and ITS, and the places where the ancient preacher wrought out his message were Hardwick, Braintree, Rutland and some other rural towns of Massachusetts
 Here then are samples of the preaching supplied to rural New England in those revolutionary times, when blood was boiling over and even spilling itself. These brownish leaves. stained in places with brown damp and everywhere with brown CT ink, may conceivably be so few be- cause parts of them went for wads in the guns of those "embattled farmers who demonstrated so effectively at the Bridge of Concord. If so, they preached a ser mon which did not lack point or applica- ton.
 But who was the author? None yet knows Were they all from one hand In those long years from 172S to 1779? l am unwilling as yet to hazard a guess. Was he a genius, an unrecognized Jonathan

cases and consider women as a sex. I may not be as good judge as you, Brig ham, but taking them by and large, which was the way l always took them, it occurs to me that women, temperament- ally speaking, are not properly gaited to exercise the ballot. If the franchise was something that changed every year like the French fashion designs, and could be done over and altered and have a polon- aise or something tackled into it. I'm not sure but what its popularity might en- dure But no woman would stay perma- nently enthused over privilege that re- mained practically the same year after year, any more than she could stand the thought of going through house-clean- ing season without switching all the bed room furniture around itno newer and more awkward positions. I take it that the right of suffrage appeals to some women like new house on her street does to anyone of them. She's unhappy until she gets into 1t and looks it over. but she wouldn't be satisfied to live in 1t at all unless she could make few rad ical alterations immediately"
 They've been the same in all ages,' in- terjected the prophet with sigh. They're the most changeable things in the world and yet they never change bit. Your remarks, Henry, about new houses reminds me of the troubles I had stalking out all the various Misses Youngs in Salt Lake City.

What, with each new incumbent objecting to making over her prede- cessor's trousseau to fit her and kicking against the other wives pictures being in the bedroom, I had trouble enough in the royal establishment as it was. If some female had been going around all day breaking the palace windows and shouting Votes for Women when I wanted to take nap. I honestly don't believe could ever have stood it."
 Henry, you know, changed wives all most as often as other people change hired girls" put in Brigham. "He had awfully bad luck with them"
 "Yes,'' said the king, especially with those named Catharine I reckon, Brig ham. you never had wife named Catha- rine?"
