To Preserve Zack TayIor's Tree.

Passengers on the new railroad which has been built through the most southern part of Texas are able to catch fleeting glance of one of the most historic landmarks on the lower Rio Grande border as the train passes by Standing like a sentinel in a large cattle pasture a short distance from the railroad is live oak tree with wide-spreading branches under which Gen. Zachary Taylor was camped for several days while on his way to fight the Mexicans in the lat. ter '40's.
 It Is now planned to inclose the tree with an ornamental fence and to beautify the spot. The first battle of the Mexican war was fought by Gen. Taylor's army and force of Mexicans at point about 65 miles south of here. This battlefield has just been converted into an irrigated farm. In clearing and blowing the land many cannon balls and other relics of the fight were found.

Plat of Vicksbure Battlefield

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. B.
 Gov. Donaghey has received plat of the Vicksburg battle field showing the location of the var ious monuments erected by states to the soldiers from those states who fe!k on the field of battle. This map was sent to him in rde sponse to a request. During the trip of the governors down the river with Pres. Taft a hour stop was made at Vicksburg and the governors went over the battle tied. Gov. Donaghey was showa the spot where the Arkansas moLj. ument is expected to be erected and as it was upon an elevation overlooking the sites of the most of the other monuments, Gov. Donaghsy was well pleased and asked for the map. While Gov. Donaghey was not committal on the subejct saynig it is for the people of the state to decide as to whether there is to be a mon- ument erected there to mark the Arkansas troops yet it is easy to see that he favora the making of an appropriation for this puI- poSa and may recommend in his message to the next legislature that some action along that line be taken.

UNWRITTEN LAW
 WILL BE PLEA
Attorneys are Now OutIinin this Plea 10
 Shield 0rviIle Daniels

arkesville, Nov. 5.-Once again will the unwritten law be pleaded in an Arkansas Court when a de, Tense which is now being prepar- ed Will be set up to shield Orville Daniels from the consequences Of killing his former business part ner, pr. J. W. Mitchell. It is said that this is tho defense, or one of the chief features of the defense that Daniels attorneys are out ln<ng; The trial is expected to come off next month
 1t is not considered likely that the woman who caused the trouble the wife of Daniels to whom Dr. Mitchelll is said to have written improper letters, will be present lat the trial of her husband. Per haps, scenting trouble, she left her home here before her hus- band slew his alleged rival and she took refuge With relatives in Hi noiS.
 On account of the prominence Of the slain man and the slayer the trial will probably attract the largest crowd that has ever att tended legal proceedings in JohnN son county. Both Daniels and LIT Mitchell's relatives are the leau' ing people of the county.
 Daniels is at liberty under bond of $7.5OO. He killed Dr. Mtl. chell Sept. II. At prelimlnaI! on Sept. 22 he was bound over u the grand jury which meets on Dec. 6.

arc oiose to the inventors expect to hear of revelations in other means or trans portation entirely apart from avlatioh' due to the experiments of the Daytonians' who are reported to be preparing aireaoy to invade other branches of science. The future may show that the name of Wright will be written in history not only in the matter of aeronautics but in other lines equally as prominent. Those who claim to have intimate knowledge of their in- tentions are not divulging the secret, put the world will hear of 1t in the due course of time.
 Just now the inventors are busy protect ing their patents. They declared tnls week that they would prosecute every in- dividual or corporation manufacturing aeropanes, as every machine that mas left the earth up to this time, they assert, is an infringement of their flyer, includ- ing both the biplane and the monoplane. The most notable are said to be Curtlss and Bleriot machines, which recently made magnificent flights. The brothers declare that they will not take action action against experimenters and anna teurs in fact, not even against profes- sionals who fly but as soon as the manu- facture of their machines is started they will be "on the job" Their attorneys will be given carte blanche. and ample means are reported to be at hand to push 
 the matter to a conclusion.
 Prize Was Unattractlve.
 The Dayton boys were too busy to take active part in the Aviators' Congress at Rheims. France, in August, though Count de Lambert and Tissandier, apt pupils or Wilbur Wright, were participants The fact that the Grand Prix de la Cham pagne, aggregating s20,0o0. was awarded to the pilot of the aeroplane which cov- cred the greatest distance without re- newal of fuel and without coming in contact with the ground had no attract ion for either Wilbur or Orville both of whom hold the worlds records for high flights.
 Sufficient honor was achieved by the Wrights when Orville made the ten-mile test flight from Ft. Myer to Alexandria. Va. and return in IA minutes and 42 sec onds. carrying with him member of the Army Signal Corps, and completing the tests which were a part of their contract with Uncle Sam.
 In addition to the honor Oryille Wright Ia known to have had a deal of fun out Of the trials He covered the route twice by automobile and the red clay of Virginia and the carrnine dust convinced him that he would never own an automobile as long as he could fly in the air q would rather go over this route dozen times in my airship than to go whizzing safely over the ground in this chug wagon,'' remarked Orville to the chaffeur. What was the use of making that trip any way?" he inquired. T went so fast

BELL A ROADSIDE FOUNTAIN.
Once Hung in a Church Tower-Crack-
 ed in Ringing Union Victory.

From the Boston Globe.
 A most unique roadside fountain for horses and cattle is the Inverted church bell, set in masonry, which Is located on the highway that leads from Northboro to Westboro and near the center vil- lage of the former town.
 The bell was originally placed in the tower of the First Baptist church in the year 1860, and on the occasion of some notable union victory during the civil war, possibly the surrender of Lee in April, 1865, the vigorous patriotic ring ing by the church sexton cracked the metal, and this public crier for religious services on the Lords day ceased to be tuneful in it's weekly summoning to the house of worship
 Tt was not until 1892. however" says an old resident of the town, that the Baptists secured a new and perfect bell. Then the society gave it's old relic to the town, and some resourceful town father suggested turning the gift upside down. fixing it firmly in is present rest ing place as a receptacle for the water of nearby spring and utilizing it as Il means of liquid refreshment for thirsty horses and cattle.'

couldn't zee the captive balloons making the course of my journey. and came within an ace of losing sight of the turn ing point. I had to make a. very sharp turn and lost time by my failure to ob- serve the terminal simply because we were flying trough the air at a marvel ous rate"
 Negroes Were Superstitious.
 Then there were bushels of fun in the attitude of the negroes and simple south ern folk who believed that my craft was a messenger from heaven. I actually felt sorry for some of the ignorant negroes, who believed that the judgment day had come. Many were the fears entertained | that my machine would fall through the roof of cabin. Nearly every negro shared this belief
 When the inventors returned to their home to build machine for Orville to take to Germany, and just before Wilbur returned to Ft Meyer to instruct the army signal men, they were amused more by the eccentricities of the public than by their own oddities which have been exploited far and near.
 All sorts of propositions have been re- ceived by the boys. Imaginary fnanciers and prospectors have submitted many unique plans, but here is one which the Wright brothers are willing to admit easily captured the prize. Like others, { with the commercial in astounding fash ion. The letter, and the poetry follows
 Dear MT. Wright-I want you to make for me a big aeroplane that will hold F passengers.
 Tt is my idea to make trip to China and return each day. That is, l shall ! raise the machine you are going to make for me a sufficient distance aoove the earth and remain practically stationary {, for F hours.
 Refused China Junket. You see by that time the earth will i have turned half on it's axis and we shall be above China. The rest is easy. sim ply discharge my passengers and take on 12 more. My price for this unique trip 1 will be $400 per passenger for a round i trip Now, Mir Wright, will make you 1 a good offer. I will give you $2O0 Will ] you do it?"
 1 The Messrs. Wright have not yet decid- ed to accept the ''motionless- -trip-to- 1 China proposition, and may be too busy ! to even consider it. but they have already i taken time to enjoy a hearty laugh and to comment on the fertility of the imagi- nation of some well meaning cranks.
 Orville turned to an odd looking envel- ope while lingering his mail and vouch- l safed the information that 1t contained i a choice poetic effusion. Tearing the big. 1 broad envelope open, he read aloud, 1 scarcely able to restrain a smile:
 "Al hail the Dayton boys; l All hail the heroes true 1 An ha, the strife and noise Up in the the azure blue. i, And when the sun grows cold,
 And when there's always night, And when the stars are old, 1 Then all will be all Wright"
