The Sidney Route.

People contemplating a trip to the
Black Hills should not be misled by
false representations concerning the
Sidney route. Scores of murders never
heard of by the outside world have been
committed along that route during the
past four months, and the corpses. of
the hapless victims carried way
from the road by men interested in that
route and buried in nameless graves.
The road is very close to the regular
trail followed by the predatory bands
of the plains on their visits to their
northern friends and by the ssffiendry.s
Agency Indians when they go south on
stock stealing raids along the Union
Pacific and in the South PlatteEvalley.
Bands of scalp-hunters are constantly
travelling this trail and the adventurous
man who starts owe the Sidney route
takes his life in his hand and can bet
with almost absolute certainty on losing
it. Excessive rates of toll are charged
over a rickety bridge at the Sidney
crossing of the North Platte, the route
has no accommodations for travel, and
the scarcity of wood and water along it
makes-travel ove it a hardship not to
be undertaken by men of less than iron
nerve.
This is the plain and simple truth re-
garding the Sidney route and those who
do not believe it are given leave to trav-
Ell over the route to see for themselves.
THE CHEYENNE ROUTE
is now protected by troops throughout
its entire length; has good and COM
Portable stopping places at convenient
distances, is lined with long trains at
all times, rendering travel over it safe
and pleasant, and being well watered
and wooded, offers every attraction to
all wishing to make the trip to the
new Ell Dorado with safety, speed and
comfort.

The Omaha papers have been blowing
for the past week or two over the estab-
lishment Of stage line from Sidney to
the Hills by Omaha lei A try-reekly
line is running from Sidney to Red
Cloud Agency, and no farther, and has
been patronized thus far by a few Oma-
hogs who, having neither wife nor fam
lily and being carried free have risked a
trip over the redskin-infested route to
the agency.

THE KNIGHTS SECRET.


Thomas Erpingham was kni GIFTED,
by Henry the Fourth, tor good and
valiant service.
This Sir Thomas Erpingham,
Knight of the Garter, afterwards
fought by the side of Henry the
Fifth in his French wars, and was
made Warden of the Cirque Ports,
but retired to Norwich. his native
place. He married beautiful, pious
lady, and, after turbulent career,
the horrors of war, desired to end his
days in charity. Being wealthy, and
of one mind, he and Lady Erpingham
built goodly church in the city, and
also erected and endowed religious
house for twelve monks and prior,
close to the Knights house, and
parted only by high wall.
But, though the retired soldier
wished to be at peace with al men,
two Of his friars were of another
mind Friar John and Friar Richard
hated each other, and could by no
means be reconciled neither had
ever good word for the other ; and
at last Friar John gave Friar Rich
ard a fair excuse for his .invectives.
Lady Erpingham came never to
mathis in the convent, and Friar
John would always await her coming.
and attend her through the cloister,
with ducks, and cringes, and open
adulation whereat she smiled, being,
in truth, most innocent lady, affable
to all, and slow to think i'll of any
man.
misunderstanding the lady's cour-
tesy and charity, brother John
thought his fawning advances were
encouraged ; this bred in him such
impudenoe, that one day he sent her
fulsome love letter, and had the
hardihood to beg for private inter-
view.
The lady, when she opened this let
ter, could hardly believe her senses !;
and, at last, as gentlewomen will be
both unsuspiclous, and suspicious, In
the wrong place, she made up her
mind that the poor, good, ridiculous
friar could never have been so wicked
as to write this; nay, but it was her
husbands doing, and trial of her
virtue he was older than herself;
and great love is often tainted with
jealousy.
This brought tears into her eyes,
to think she should be doubted but
soon anger dried them, and she took
the occasion to put the letter suddenly
into Sir Richards hand, and fixed her
eyes so keenly that, if there had been
flaw in his conjugal armor, no doubt
those eyes had pierced it.
The Knight read the letter, and
turned black and white with rage !;
mis- eyes sparkled with fury, aud he
looked SO fearful, that the lady was
very sorry she had shown him the
letter, and begged him not to take q
mad mans folly to heart.
Not take it to hearth said he.
What! these beggarly shavelings
that have housed and fed, and so
lessened my estate and thine-they
shall corrupt thee, and rob me OF my
one earthly treasure sit thou down
and write
sWrite, Richard, what ? to whom p
DO as | bid thee, dame, said be
sternly, 'and no more words.
Then he made her write letter
back to the friar, and say she COM
passionated his love, and her hus-
band was to ride towards London
that night, and her servant, on whom
she could depend, should admit him
to her through side door OF the
house.
Friar John, at the appointed time,
took care to be in the town, for he
knew the lay brother, who kept the
gate of the priory, would not let him
