A pigeon story. which is vouched for
by the Premier of the Colony Is going
the rounds of the New Zealand papers.
Mr.. Seddon's family received from rel
atives in Victoria a beautiful pair of
Antwerp homing pigeons. One day the
birds were out flying but only one re-
turned to the cot, and nothing more was
heard of the other; but some time after
wards news was received from Victoria
that the missing bird had arrived safely
at his former home. To reach Victoria
from New Zealand the bird must have
accomplished the feat of flying some
thing like 1000 miles without rest and
according to the dates 1t must have done
the journey in less than three days,
which would mean that 1t would have to
fly at speed of from eighteen to twenty
miles an hour continuously.

Horace V. Winchcll, professor of
geology at the Minnesota State Uni
versity. has returned from a trip to the
Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods
region and says that Uncle Sam Is quite
negligent in developing that country
ahead of him. He says:
The Canadian government is doing
everything in its power to open up the
country for settlement. while the United
States takes the opposite position. On
the Canadian side of Rainy Lake river
every quarter section for ninety miles is
occupied by a farmer. while on the
American side tho farmers are Obliged
to squat unlawfully on free public lands
because the government has not at
tended to opening them regularly for
settlement. These are the old lands of
the Red Lake Indian reservation which
should have been opened for settlement
at once. The southern part of the res
ervatiOn which the lumbermcn wanted
opened was attended to promptly, but
the excellent farming lands along the
river have been allowed to go by default.
The settlers are coming in there by
scores and hundreds and would soon &C.

man. with his family and four additional
men, came from Grand Rapids. They
had travelled by boat all the way. IL
these lands were occupied we should not
only get settlers from the United States,
but Canada as well.

Candidates For judicial Nomination
Are so Numerous That

Huron, Sept. There are four can

Third judicial district, viz: George

Carl Sherwood of Clark county, {. >.
Whiting of Kingsbury county, and c.
Y. Seward Of Codington county. Each
of these men will go to the republican
convention in Castlewood on the 18th
inst. with their respective county dele
cations at their backs. There are six
counties in the district-the two not
having a candidate are Deuel. and
Hamlin, they having fourteen dele
gates each. The total membership of
the convention is 107: necessary 10 Il
choice, 81. BY this it will be seen that
some one of the four candid; ties II
secure the withdrawal of one of his
competitors in his favor, and also Sc
cure the support of the delegates from
both counties not having IA candidate
before he car hope to receive the nom
ination. To persuade II of the aspl-
rants to withdraw will be no small
task, as il is claimed that all are in
the race TO win. The apportionment
by counties is such that should any
delegates from Deuel. and Hamlin
counties he will not have votes enough
to give him the nomination. He must
either induce one of the candidates to
withdraw or break his following and
capture a portion Of his strength. The
situation is interesting and is being
watched by outsiders generally. 1t is
not certain that both Deuel. and Ham
lin counties will not present candi-
dates before the date for the conven'
ton. In that event the contest will
be intensified.

Office inspectors. was arrested here
yesterday afternoon charged with em-
bezzling government moneys. An in
vestigation of Arrington's accounts
has been in progress for some time,
and it is said resulted in the discovery
of a shortage Of about $4,000. He was
released on 5000 bond.
Shortly after the beginning of the
present administration Postmaster
General Gary became convinced that
the business of the several divisions in
the inspection branch of the service
was being conducted on a very unsat-
isfactory system. George Il. Hamlet

When he completed this work Ar
rington was removed and Hamlett
was appointed inspector in charge of

of keeping the accounts, il is said,

rington's arrest slow, but once COM
pleted is showed, it is alleged, n short
age of over $4,000. This embezzlement,
it is said at the department, has been
in progress over one year.

ceedcd by Mr.. Hamlet. A complete

system is expected. The postmaster
