as accurate as that on wheat.
The reports for 1905 are not com
ing in yet but we will also have
them complete as soon as the
crops are gathered.
Milo maize and kaffir corn are
the chief crops for feed and we
expect to show some astonishing
facts regarding these crops in
the near future. Those who
have used these crops prefer
them to Indian corn, and the re
turns are even greater per acre
than the corn in many of the
older settled states.
Some interesting statistics are
also being compiled respecting
all the other crops grown in this
county and we want to say that
these reports are accurate.

period up to 1901, and contained no
account of his wanderings in Canada
and the United States.
Manolescu was an exceedingly good
looking man; splendid figure and a
disposition that assisted him material
ly in getting into the good graces of
all who came in contact with him, both
men and women.
He was 40 years of age at the time
of his death. He was the son of a
Roumanian army officer, and as a
youth ran away from a naval academy
and went to Constantinople. He soon
absconded with the pocketbook of the
prize beauty of the Pasha's harem. He
was arrested across the Greek frontier
and attempted suicide. He was taken
to a hospital. where the handsome
youth attracted the attention of Queen
Olga, who was visiting the sick. She

left Roumania the second time as a.
stowaway on grain steamer and
reached Paris. He soon stole enough
to set up a large villa in the fashion
able quarter and drove his own car
riage on the Bots de Boulogne and
raced his horses at Longchamps.
Justice overlook him and he was sent
to Jail. When he was released from
Prison four or five years later he visit
ed London and Monte Carlo and came
to Canada, leaving here for San Fran
cisco, where he posed as the nephew
of the Spanish Minister at Washington.
Thence he went to Japan and after
ward to Honolulu. where he feeced
rich widow. From Honolulu he went
to Chicago, where he became engaged
to the daughter Of a millionaire. He

returned to London and got eight
months hard labor for stealing jewelry
from hotels. After this he went to
Brussels, where he rescued a rich Bra
lillian from a gang Of ruffians and es-
corted him to a hotel, picking his
pockets of $4,000 while on the way.
A short visit to Monte Carlo as the
Duke of Otranto netted him 100000
crowns out of rich Hungarian widow.
After serving another sentence in jail
for hotel robbery at Nice, he visited
Italy, where he met the Countess
Angelica Won Konigsbruck, a member
of one of the most distinguished Saxon
families. Posing as a wealthy Rou-
manian landowner, he married her in
Genoa. The marriage took place be-
fore a fashionable audience and was
performed by the Archbishop of Genoa.
The brides large dowry was exhausted
during the honeymoon. A child was
born to the couple in Switzerland.
After a duel with the brother of an
other lady the adventurer came to
America again and returned to Paris
as the Prince Lahovary, taking with
him the proceeds of jewelry robbery
in Philadelphia. Subsequently he went
to Berlin and proposed to an American
lady. Incidentally, he ransacked the
hotel bedrooms. When the relatives OF
the lady demanded financial guaran-
tees the Prince was arrested for rob-
berry at Genoa. He was tried in Ber-

Montreal is chiefly interested in him
because of his failure of weeks of

he borrowed from newly-made friends
when. it was seen that the man was

was a little attention as the result Of
his announcement that he was in Can
ada representing a Viennese newspa-
per, and that he intended to make a
feature of the Canadian Northwest in
the stories he was about to write.
This was about four years ago, and
though at that time he had spent sew
eral terms in European prisons and
had been living from his early man
hood by swindles of many characters,
nothing of the kind was suspected by
those he met here.
Even after he left Montreal and ru-
mors reached those who best knew
him, there were many who refused to
believe that he was swindler OF in
ternational reputation. At last, how
ever, all doubt was removed by the
news from Europe that he had pub
lished his memoirs and that in these
he had admitted that his life had been
spent in swindling. The book was en-
titled "a Prince of Thieves" and was
a full and frank recital of the story Of
his life, names of places and people
being given at frequent intervals. 1t

pointed out that it was not possible
to reviyiiy the FIRST franchise and that
il would be necessary to introduce a

franchise exactly similar to the one
first passed and later allowed to lapse
will be offered. The fact that the

up the cash forfeiture seem to indicate
that everything is in fine shape with
