A NO ENEMIES.

Washburn Leader: The reports
that have been going the rounds Of
the newspapers since the death Of
Franklin e. Funk to the effect that
his life had been threatened for years
by unknown persons in this commun-
ity are absolutely false. Mr.. Funk
has resided in Washburn since May.
1902, during all of which time he has
been the cashier Of the First Nation
al bank, and during that time he has
not foreclosed a mortgage nor brought
an action by himself personally nor
has the bank been invilved in any liti.
cation whatsoever, and the stories
that are being circulated to the eff.
feet that through the management Of
the bank he has incurred the enmity
of people in this vicinity are also alb
solutely false. Mr.. Funk was a very
energetic business man and invari-
ably made it a practice to work late
at night alone in his bank looking af-
ter his personal matters as we'll as
those of the bank and was never mo
lester or threatened by any person.
We have never had a citizen who has
been more popular or held in higher
esteem by the citizens Of Washburn
and all who knew him

received by the people with enthu3i-
assn May %, 1866, and was acclaimed
Prince of Roumania.
1t was by no means a s%inecure
which Charles had taken upon his
shoulders when he consented to be-
come the ruler Of Roumania. Inter-
nal d%issensions caused constant fer.
ment among the numerous factions
and the relations between Roumania
, and the adjoining countries were far
! from being friendly. The resources
of Roumania were extremely meager;
trade and industries were democrat
lied, the national d%efences were dis
organized and It seemed that the
days Of the country's independence
) we're numbered. But Charles proved
himself the right man for his posi-.
ton, a great ruler, strong and ner-
| getic, filled with the ambition to re.
store order and prosperity in his
country and to strengthen its power
among the nations of Europe.
Three years after his accession to
the throne he married Princess EliZ-
abcth Won Neuwied, the talented poet
and novelist who acquired literary
fame under the p~scndonym Of Carmen
sylvia. Loyalty she co-opcrated with
her husband in his rcformatory and

In the war between Russia and
Turkey Charles sided with Russia
and by his gallant fighting and bril-
liant strategy in the battle of Plev.

it's independence from Turkey, un-
der whose suZerainty it has been for
several centuries and its %independ-

Berlin, signed July 13, 1878, which
robbed Russia OF nearly all the advan-
tagcs which it had gained under the
terms of the Treaty of San Stcfano
at the close Of the a
Although Roumania had not sought
territorial acquisitions when it aided
Russia, but merely to the recogni-
ton Of its independence from Tur-
key, the powers forced Turkey by the
Treaty Of Berlin to cede to Roumania
the barren and defenceless district of
the Dobrudja, between the Danube
and the Black Sea, which had been
part of Bulgarian territory under
Turkish rule. When the recent Bal
kan war broke out it was clearly I'M
derstood that Bulgaria had designs
upon the Dobrudja, which since 1873
had become a prosperous and valua-
BILE possession. Roumania, in 1903,
sent a circular note to the powers
declaring that Elomania would main
tain strict neutrality, but could not
remain indifferent to any change in
the status quo established by the
Treaty Of Berlin. The powers re-
piled that nc change would be permit
ted and Bulgaria gave assurance that
no such change was contemplated.
