The Superintendent of the Search Room,
at the Public Record Office, London, has
discovered two deeds relating to the family
history of Chaucer. These deeds are in
law Latin, and are easily read by one
eonversant with the Latin of the age. One
has two broken seals attached; one seal
bears the arms and portion of the name
of Geoffry Chaucers father; no other seal
of his has ever been discovered. The one
deed relates to both parents of Geofry;
and the other mentions one Bartholomew
as the second husband of Madame Chaucer.
The dates show that the second marriage
was contracted within twelve months of hel
first husbands death, and at the time the
poet was about fourteen years of age.

world to the people that have to purchase
it, and if our crop is to be consumed
mainly at home it is question of high
or cheap food for the working people. The
present prospect therefore is for good
return to the farmer and cheap bread for
all of the people. These are among the
essentials of a healthy state of affairs
and will do much towards Frightening up
the commercial world and putting things
in better shape.

WITHOUT going into any wild prophe
cies of returning prosperity and indulging
hopes of seeing trade and commerce on
the high-pressure scale of initiation days,
there is good reason to look for brisker
business and very much better state of
things for large proportion of our peo-
pie. There never was better prospect
for fine crops than at present. Stimu-
lated by the hopes of high prices caused
by foreign demand, large area of
wheat was put in, and the crop is in most
excellent condition. The winter and
early spring have been very favorable,
the season is forward, and there is every
indication of an immense yield. Besides,
there are said to be large quantities of
grain still held in the West with the
hope of selling it at high price after
the commencement Of general European
war. The promise for peaches, apples
and small fruit is also fine, though it is
too early to build on these with any de-
gree of certainty. But unless we have
very unfavorable weather later in the
season there must be fine yield. And
the season is so far advanced that not
much danger is apprehended. There
is but little snow on the mountains or
ice in the North, and cold weather can not
reasonably be looked for again this spring.
If all these prophecies in regard to crops
turn out correct the country will be bet
ter supplied with food than it has been
for many years. The farmers will have
to sell their products low, but with such
large quantity to sell they can afford to
do so. 1t is much better for all con-
cerned that given amount received by
the farmer be for large quantity of prod
uce. So far as the farmer is concerned
it is of no Importance to him whether
his $4,000 for wheat be the returns for
three thousand or six thousand bushels,
but it makes all the difference in the

THE New York Times which has been
an ardent supporter of Secretary Sher-
man since he has been at the head of the
financial affairs of the Government, is
disappointed at his views on the effect of
the Silver Bill. 1t has scathing article
on the Secretary and his financial views,
from which the following is an
extract: "Mr. Sherman has held
nearly every shade of financial
opinion during his long political career,
and he appears to retain some remnants
of all of them, Th6 patchwork product
which, for want of better name, must
be called his financial creed, is, there
fore, more picturesque than satisfactory.
1t is certainly not the kind of creed
which ought to be held by the chief
financial officer of the Government at
time when the majority in both Houses
of Congress seem to be bent on breaking
down every barrier against the debase
ment of the currency and the repudia-
ton Of the debt" Passing the charge
made against the silver men in the last
sentence as part of the settled course
of the Eastern papers, the reader
is naturally led to inquire what
the Times would have the Secretary
do. The Silver Bill did not become a
law with Mr.. Sherman's approval He
certainly did all to prevent its passage
that could consistently be done by man
connected with another department of
the Government. When the bill became
law it was clearly his duty to execute
it, to the best of his ability, in the inter
est Of the country. That he has not con-
tinued to howl against it, but has en-
deavored to bring all the good possible
out of measure of which he did not APP
approve, is nothing to his discredit. 1t
would be in accordance with the Times
tactics for us to accuse it of attempting
to incite a revolution by opposing the
fair administration of the Silver Bill
after it has in due form become a law.

THE COMING EMPIRE.

A new publication is about to be placed in
the hands Of the printers which will prove
of inestimable value to this section of the
country. It is to be entitled "The Coming
Empire" and will emanate from the pen OF

ton of "Black Hills and American Wonder
land" Mr.. Mcguire has spent large por.
tion of the past two years in the Black Hills
and his proposed work will comprise
complete history Of that region, profusely IL
lustrated and accom- panied BY an elaborate
and accurate map of the Black Hills coun-
try drawn on scale Of ten miles to the
inch. This map and book are to be largely
devoted to the interests of the southern
Hills, Rapid City and the two Missouri riv.
er routes-from Pierre and Bismarck. Mr..
Mcguire takes the ground that there is 70
question about the superior natural advan-
tages Of the Pierre route but that its favora.

the country is flooded regarding rival routes
A statement of the exact facts regarding this

Of his book and to widely circulate these
facts is all that ia necessary to bring the
travel and transportation this way. The
Coming Empire will prove the means o
circulating much valuable information re-
garding this route and that portion of ,h.
Hills in which We are most interested. Mr.
Mcguire is now in town and will see oul
business men on the subject Of advertising
His book will contain about one hundred
and fifty pages of valuable reading matter
will be bound in two different styles-papcr
and cloth and will sell at popular prices
The Western News Company Of Chicago
will take hold of the enterprise and aid il

The recent heavy rains have done q good
deal Of damage 10 low lying districts, and
in some places the frost of the last few
nights has blighted the previously fair pros
poets. Fruit ttrees and gardens have suffer.
ed more than grain crops, and possibly the
latter may yet recover to q greater extent
than might at first sight be supposed. The
hay crop will undoubtedly be heavy, and is
already past any danger from draueht. In
some localities there is some danger of the
grain becoming so rank that injury
will result from that source.
