Il then made a proposition tc
Merivale. 4 told him that I would
alter my appearance and go back tc
Nilus, taking his name; and that by
pretending to sympathize with all OF
Franklin's schemes I should get into
his confidence and worm from him
the truth. In return for this priv.
lege, I promised Merivale that
would use all the influence I had, re,
enforced by Mr.. Everett, to induce
the real owners of the mine to con.
sent to the proposition he had made
to Franklin. He studied over it for a
while. I could see that he rather
enjoyed the idea. 1t would be a rare
joke and a rare revenge, but 1 could
see that he hesitated. Doubtless he
was a little apprehensive as to what
use 1 would make of his name; so
told him that he could write to Mr.
Everett, and that gentleman would
stand for my doing nothing that
would bring discredit on his name
At last he consented, and at my sug'
gestion he wrote a letter to Col
franklin stating that he would be in
Nilus in a short time. He then made
arrangements to depart for San
Francisco, where he had some inter.
ests demanding his attention. Before
left he placed in my possession all
of Col. Franklin's letters to him, as
well as copies of his letters to Frank.

"In order to p~ersonate Merivale, a

my beard trimmed and parted, and in
this shape I blondined it. With a rec
dye I frightened my cheeks, and with
a pair of cloudy spectacles 1 dulled
my eyes. And so, armed with Frank

can have the equivalent of the $780,

Merivale replied promptly:
Il would like to close this business
up as soon as possible. My mining
are all lying idle, and I am
losing money every day thereby. I
cannot wait six months. Make it
three months and state your agree
ment in writing, and T will see you
about it,"
Franklin then wrote:
81 accept your amendment, and
hereby obligate myself within three
months to secure possession of the
tract in -- county, Colorado, for
you and myself jointly, or, on failure
to do so, to remunerate, YOU out of
my stock on condition that you will
honor my drafts to the extent of

Merivale answered laconically:
1T is a go. Draw away"
This letter from Franklin to Meri-
vale may-be interesting:
''Send check for $1,000 to Thomas
Morris, Yokohama, Japan. This is
for stock purchased through him.
Charge the amount to my account
Just before Fenton left Colorado
for Nilus he induced Merivale to
write this letter to Franklin: ,
at seems to me that if your stock
was stolen from you, the proper way
would be to steal it back. Can't YOU
find anyone with nerve enough down
your way to do it? The three months
having expired, I shall come to Nilus
to settle matters at issue between us.
If by the time 1 get there you have,

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
An Extra Session.

The emergency in the educational
and charitable institutions of the state
will be met by a special session OF the
legislature, which will be called by
Gov. White in September. The gov
ernor will present a message to the
special assembly, stating the emergen-
cy that exists in the institutions as a
result of the supreme court decision
which recently held $3.50, 900 bonds that
were issued for making improvements
and additions illegal.
Some of the institutions have let
contracts and incurred expenses which
there is no means to pay unless the
legislature makes an appropriation
from the general fund. Gov. White
stated that there would be $1,000 0
available Immediately from the gen
eral fund, in which there is now a sur
plus of $15O,O 600. There will also be
$3.50, 900 available in March next for
the same purpose.
The governor will take a trip to the
different institutions, and will ascer-
tain what amounts are necessary at
each and perfect an agreement by
which a harmonious adjustment can be
reached when the special session meets.
The assembly will probably not sit
more than three or four days, in which
time all necessary measures can be
passed. The expense of a special ses-
sion will not exceed $4,000.

A Close Call,

A passenger train from Souris pulled
out ten minutes late and running al
high speed turned a sharp curve over q
high trestle upon which a 7~-year-old
girl with her two brothers, 5 and
years, We're playing, surprising them
before they realized their danger.
With great presence of mind the girl
got her two brothers off safely, but
not having time to reach the ground
she swung from the ties, forty feet
above the ground.
The train came to a stop about sixty
yards beyond her and Conductor Reed
ran back and lifted the girl from her
perilous position. She was in a such a
weakened condition that she could not
stand. The names of the children
were not learned.

And watch the swallows dart,
And hear the lark with joy immense
Let song our from it's heart.
lie loved to Liz ger by the brook
And watch the bubbles play,
And browse AMI dream above his hook
With trouble far away.
With simple joys he was content,
He had no wish to rule;
Men said his days were all misspent
And called the man a fool.
Another where the crowds were great
Went scheming day by day;
He filled mems hearts with fear and hate
And piled his gains away.
He never knew one hour Of rest,
His brow was lined with care;
If joy had e'er been in his breast

No birds enchanted him with song,
His dreams were full of signs,
But people saw him push along
And thought that he was wise.

More Coal.

For many years it has been .;nown
that there is coal in Morton, Oliver.
Mercer and Stark counties, but not I'M
til lately has it been discovered that in
some of these counties the country is
nearly all underlined with great coal
beds.
Since the western slope country, and
more especially Oliver county, is set
Ting up, many wells are being bored
and the farms, and reports come al
most daily of the discovery of another
thick vein of good coal.
These beds are struck at depths ran
ging from three to sixty feet, and vary
in thickness from two to fourteen feet
of solid coal.
At present coal is only mined here
for home consumption, many of the
settlers having their coal mines near
the house, but as soon as the railroad
is built through Oliver county many OF
these mines will be operated.

The Question Answered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. 24th.-Many
questions are being asked of Mr.. G. d. Holt
OF this place in regard to his wonderful re-
covery. For two years he has been down with
his back. He was SO very bad that he could
not even lace his shoes, and from this con-
dition he suddenly appeared well and strong
as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his friends
are asking him How did you do it"
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it, and adds This remedy is a genuine
good medicine and one that | can heartily
recommend to everybody.
Everyone around here knows how very
bad | was. l was so weak in my back that
| couldn't do anything that needed stoop-
ing or bending over, and three boxes Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills made me as you see, as
we'll as ever l was"
They certainly had a wonderful effect on
my case"

NEW NAMES FOR INDIANS.

Plan of Commissioners Jones to Sim
Dlify Work Of His Department..
The Indian bureau has decided upon
a policy which means trouble for the
noble red man, says Washington spe-
cial to the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t
contemplates notwithstanding Of all the
Indians in the United States, and the
high flown appellations Of the warriors
will be changed to commonplace
names. The wishes of the Indians will
not be consulted In the matter.
The change Is expected to make as
much trouble as did Commissioner
Jones' famous hair cutting order, but
he says it will make the work Of his
department much easier, as the names
Of many of the Indians are absolutely
unpronounceable. Mr.. Jones thinks
that the greatest objections will come
from the high chieftains, who glory in
their names, but that the rest Of the
Indians will not object SO long as the
government furnishes them rations
with liberality and regularity.
