'WHEN KNIGHTHOOD WAS IN

Tac Great HUUrlcal Hard U at a Rank
; - Americas Serial.
The most remarkable hlstorolcal

In writing "When Knighthood Was
in Flower," Mr. Charles Major fixed
upon the most romantic spot ln the
most romantic period of Enirllsh his
tory, the time of Henry VIII, as a set
ting for bis book. The story thrills
with the tender; pure love of a Kind's
sister for an untitled but heroic young
.ngiisninan. The hero loves the hero
ine ln spite of his fight strains t bis rjas-
slon. Their tiitiful strurali to avoid
one another, their noble sacrifices the

den string of human sympathy.

Trout Season Longer.
The trout fishing season will open
on April 15, and as the new law is now
in effect the lovers of this sport will
have fifteen days longer than last year.
The last day ot the coming season will
be Aug. 1, Instead of July 15, as hereto
fore, and from all reports It ls going to
be an exceptionally good one. Fish are
said to be plentiful and all streams-
large and small are expected to yldd
large catches. Last season compara
tively few trout were caught When it
was not raining, the streams were too
high and muddy for fishing and this
Is one of the reasons why trout will be
numerous this year.

The reduced rates authorized by the
transcontinental railroads on account

ional Educational Association, to be

have enabled the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company to offer to those con
templating attendance at this Conven
tion an opportunity, under the direc
tion of popular Personally-Conducted
Tourist System, not only of visiting
the beautiful city in which the Conven
tion is to be held, and participating in
the deliberations of the Convention,
but also of visiting the Yellowstone
Natloua! Park at a cost imoossible
under ordinary conditions of travel.
The 1 ellowstone Park is never more

the Pennsylvania Railroad will be af
forded the fullest opportunity of visit.

Frank W. Thomas who formely re
aided at Kreamer, this county, went to
I North Dakota and sent the following
letter to .Eastern friends :
I lea home the 17th or March and
got hereon the 20th. I heard so much
of this country that I thought I would
investigate It once; so far I am well
pleased. The eastern part of this state
has the nicest level land I ever saw,
but they say the water Is not good.
Here In the westeru part it Is a rolling
prairie aud at some places stony. John
Gaugler of Pallas came along with me,
we filed on 100 acres each, joining Co
miles west of here. Our claims are 3
miles from Ross station where a nlot
is laid for a town. You have no idea
what a large number of emigrants
come to this place out here; it reminds
me of a swarm of bees around the land
office; they file claims by the thousaud.
leopie are coming from all rmrt
of the country, as many as 10 car
loads on one excursion, it u miri.j
by the great Northern Railway that
20,000 emigrants are on the way to
points in this state.
Everybody seems busy; work is nleutv
and wages good. Farmers pay troiu
$25 to $30 a mouth for a hired man.
Plowing Is $3 to $3.60 an acre. Flax
seed is mostly raised which averages
from 12 to 27 bu. per acre and sell at
$1.25 to 1.60 a bu. Howes cost from
$100to$3J0. We have good water liprv.
plenty of coal, along the river but none
on the prairie. Our chims are about
12 miles from the Missouri river.
The weather is mild, snow about all
gone. If I have good luck and mv
fumily keeps well I think I ean do
good out here. vy t
Accident at the Tannery.
The slumbers of the Franklin citizens
were disturbed last Sunday night at
12:30 by the blowing of the tannery
whistle. It appears that a new pack
ing was put into the manhead of the
boiler over the furnace and this blew
out from the force of the steam. Geo.
D. Maneval, the night watchman, be
gan to pull the fire and with this mix
ture of fire and steam, found himself
unable to cope with the elements. He
pulled the whistle and called in other
employers of the tannery. The trouble
was remedied and the tannery began
operations at noon Monday. It was
fortunate for Mr. Maneval that he wag
not in front of the escaping steam when
the packing blew out He was there
but a few minutes before.

you are a fellow with us aud one of a

A few mean men in the course of a
