Tripp Opeaing About March Is.
Dallas. 8. D., Dec. 7-Judge Witten,
who returned this week TO conclude the
selection Of the government townsites in
Trip county, says that the date Of open
ing Of Trip county will be about March
Is, 1909, and not the first Of March -
originally reported. The reason for the
delay 10 that the toughest weather of the
season often comes about the first ut the
month. and the later dale, while early
enough to permit of spring farming
operations, 10 safer time for the settlers
to get ont on their land.
A petition has recently been circulat.
cd for the organization Of Trip county,
but Judge Witten is Of the opinion that
nothing can be done along that line un-
til after the date Of the formal opening
OF the county to settlement. ut yet re-
mains an Indian domain, % says be. "and
those Who are frequsnting Trip county
without permit are liable to arrest for
trespass. Literally speaking, no white
man without . permit he's any right on
reservation, and those who arc living
there could b ordered Oh BY the govern
ment suthorities.'
Speaking Of the plan pursued ct Dali
las and other points in the registration
and drawing Of lands, Judge Witten
said:
There is only one thing tina: might
make it moro equitable and avoid
speculation to an absolute certainty;
the right for the people al over the
United States to make their applications
at their homes before an authorized oath
officer and forward their application to
central Office and file the same a. was the

make his fling he forfeits his money.
During this drawing the people who
participated in it expended more than
$4,000. 600, most Of the amount being
spent with the railroads of tho country.
Under this system this would be elimi
mated and only those who really wanted
to enter government lands would take

PIGEONS CARRY THE ORDERS.
Messengers Used by English Butcher
for Country Trade.

Orders executed by post" is a COM
mon enough phrase nowadays, but
orders by pigeon post is something
new.
The pigeon post" has been recent
ly instituted by Don Harris. son of a
butcher at Herne Bay. who regularly
employs homer pigeons to carry or
ders from outlying districts to his f.
theirs shop.
Mr.. Harris, Jr., when he goes to col
lect orders takes six of his fastest
birds In the trap With him. After he
has gone q couple Of miles and col
lected Q dozen orders he liberates q
pigeon with the orders inclosed in a
little metal case attached to the birds
foot. Before i've minutes have elapsed
these orders are In the delivery trap
on the way to the customers.
At various stages Of his round
(which usually takes three hours), Mr.
Harris liberates the other birds with
more orders. and by the time he re-
turns to the shop all the orders re-
ceived by pigeon post have been dis
patched.
Sometimes my rounds take me
more than three hours" said Mr.. Har-
ris. and formerly customers who lived
any distance out did not get their
joints until too late for the midday
meal. Now my pigeons have solved
the dihiculty. The birds will often
travel At q speed of more than . mile

they save. I have never known q
bird to go astray. Daily

Republican party going to do for

the Republican party take care of
Governor Sheldon :" The governor
has no special claim on the party. He
was elected to the highest Office in the
state BY his party and given . renom'
ination, and he was honored by being
sent q . delegate to the national con-
vention. There is no special reason
Why Republicans should continue to
honor the governor. He has q farm,
u fairly well-to-do, and there is no
danger Of his being compelled to sub
~ on charity. Let the governor
take care of himself. He is not an
object of political charity.

Burr, conscious of the long provoca-
ton which he had received, treated
this letter rs an attempt at evasion. II
regret to find in il" he wrote, nothing
of that sincerity and delicacy which
you profess to value. Your letter has
furnished me with new reasons for
requiring definite reply"
Hamilton, having read this note,
stated to Van Ness that it was not
such as he had hoped to receive; that,
if it were not Withdrawn he could
make no reply; and that Mr.. Burr
must pursue such course as he deemed
proper. Upon the Saturday after
noon following, Hamilton, having
gone to his country seat near the city,
received . note from Van Ness, in
curing when and where he would re-
ceive . further communication from
Burr. At Hamilton's request bis
town house was appointed as the place
and the succeeding Monday as the
time. On the Monday Van Ness de-
livered orally a message based upon
certain notes written out by Burr.
Burr" they ran, refused to par
ticularize as it would only tend to
produce new irritation; but, having
made great sacrifices for the sake of
harmony, having exercised forbearance
until it approached to humiliation, he
has seen no effect produced by such
conduct but q repetition Of injury.
These things must end"
Hamilton now called in the services
of his friend, Mr.. Pendleton, and some
further communications passed be-
tween the parties. Burr required a
general disavowal IF any intention by
Hamilton, in any conversation, Ito
convey expressions derogatory to the
honor of Mr.. Burr"
This general statement Hamilton, Of
course, was unable to make, and on
June q, Van Ness delivered to PEN
dleton the challenge. Under the
heights of Weehawken, and accessible
only at low tide, there was q grassy
ledge or shelf which had been the
scene Of many encounters. Here, on
July II, 1904, in all the peaceful
beauty and freshness of early morning
in midsummer, Burr and Hamilton
met. The preliminaries were soon
arranged. As Pendleton, Hamilton's
second, gave him his pistol, he asked,
"Will you have the hairspring sets'
mot this time," was the reply.
When the word WA given Burr
fred. Hamilton started forward with
q convulsive movement, reeled, invol-
UNFAIRLY discharging his pistol, and fell
headlong upon the ground.
Burr sprang toward him with an ex-
preston of pain upon his face, but
Van Ness seized him by the arm and
hurried him down the bank to the
boat. Hamilton, being lifted up, re-
vived for a moment and gasped, "This
Is q mortal wound, doctor" Then he
relapsed into inconsistencies. but was
revived again by the fresh air Of the
river as they brought him home.
"Pendleton knows" he said, endeavor-
ing to turn toward his friend, "that 1
did not intend to fire at him."
He fingered in great suffering until
2 o'clock in the afternoon of the fol-
lowing day.
The excitement in the city was ire
mendous and the sorrow over Hamil-
toms death was almost exceeded by
the indignation against Burr. The
whole town took part in the funeral,
amidst the booming Of cannon and the
tolling Of bells, and listened to the
eulogy pronounced by Gov. Morris.

phrase still more despicable' admits of
infinite shades, from very light to very
dark. How am l to judge of the

if any specific remark we're attributed
to him, he would acknowledge or deny
it; and he concluded: II trust, on
more reflection, you will see the mat
ter in the same light with me. Ifnot,
I can only regret the circumstance,
and must abide the consequences"
This last remark might perhaps
have been omitted, but in all other
respects Hamilton's attitude through
out the whole correspondence was as
conciliatory as his selfrespect would
permit.
