Bradley, a priest of the dlocese of Lin- coln. Several of the poems are original others transiations from the German and from the Odes of Horace. Naturally they breathe a strong religious sentiment. and as the author says, e rather the fruit of moments of leisure and recreation. taken from the routipe lite of study or from the monotonous. labors of a pastorate on the Nebraska prariries, than from any sus- tained effort at excellence in the poetle ‘art.”” Besides the excellence of Father Bradley’s work it has the additional merit of being a means of swelllng a fund for the embellishment of churches at Aenew and Courtland, Neb. and Other little W.

Ginn & Co. have published a new book Spanish language, eatitied, “Spanish and English Conversation,” by Alda Edmonds Pinney. A second book is to follow later The exercises and the selections for read- ing In this book is given in both Spanish and English. The volume aims to teach the spoken language, the words and sen- tences being those used in every-day inter- course. The conversation lessons are pro- gressive and complete in themselves and the simplicity of the words and phrases used adapts the lessons to the needs of beginners. The little collection of classic stories included in the volume brings into use the vocabulary contained im the con- versation lessons and provides a pleasant and stimulating recreation for the pupils, who are sure to read them at once in Eng- lish and later in the new language. Doubleday, Page & Co. have published & new book entitled “Our Literary Deluge. It is written by Francis W. Halsey, editor of the New York Times Saturday Review Mr. Halsey is widely known as author and editor and his work puts him into pecu- larly close relation with the trend of cur- rent literary thought.

The following are only a few of the subjec! treated:- “The Enmormous Output,” “Causes,” “‘Pecuniary Rewards,' “Yellow Journalism in Literature,” ‘‘Books that Live on Through the Years, “Writers and Something More,” “Fashions In Collect- ing,”" “Profits in Rare Books. Mr. Benson has returned to the fleld he developed with such sigoal success in “Dodo,” and his new novel, “Scarlet and Hyssop,” & very interesting tale of London soclety, reveals a brilliancy, social knowl- edge and worldly wisdom which show how much the author has grown in force and pungency since the appearance of his first book. This remarkable story of London society may or may not afford reasons for identifications.

P. Tukey, referring to his flagrant viola tion of the law in seiling lots on allot- ments that had not been approved by the engineer and the mayor and council, the statutes require, atates that he ba: called upon me and supposed the matter was settled. As a matter of fact, he did ot call upon me. I notified him in writ- ing and also personally upon the street, and he said he would remedy the defects. He now claims that he has a right to sell lots on allotments without submitting any plats to the city engineer, and an lay out alleys in blocks to sult himself. It is about time that Mr. Tukey and other citizens who are | violating the law be made to understand | that they cannot sell property under mis- representations and inveigle innocent pur- |chasers into buylng property illegally laid out. The statutes of the state, as well as the ordinances of the city, not only requirs | that all allotments, before being legal, must have the plats approved by the engineer and city council, but the treasurer of both the city and county must certify that the taxes upon the allotment. embracing all streets and alleys proposed to be dedicated bave been pald, before such dedication can made or acted upon, and, further than | that, street that Is mortgaged with other prop- erty, otherwise the mortgagor could come which an innocent purchaser is located and cut him off from frontage that he supposed he had at the time of purchase. Mr will submit the plat of the North Omaha | tract in due time. What right had Mr Tukey to sell property upon streets and | alleys that are subject to mortgage, and upon which there are tax liens. It is about time that this kind of procedure be stopped by the city and innocent purchasers pro- tected, as the law contemplates they should be. What the Statutes Provide. There are others besides Mr. Tukey cogaged in this nefarious practice in this city, and it is mot on any individual sc- count, but for the purpose of stopping this kind of procedure that I have made my report to the council, asking that the law | L2 enforced. For the benmefit of those who are not acquainted with the law, I quote from the compiled statutes, and the com- piled ordinances of the city. Sec. 28, Chapter 12a, Compiled Statutes 101: 763, Sec, M.

CONNELL AT LIBERTY TO FILE DEED Instrument Conveying Lots in Oak. harat for New Park Along Proe ed Boulevard May Now Go on Record. The first series of obstacies (n the way of the proposed Central boulevard ended yes- terday, when setflement was made with Dr. George L. Miller for lots belonging 1o him which had been appropriated by the city in the interest of the improvement. Dr. Miller's was the last of thirty-two ap- peals taken from the award of damages and the settlement enables the park board to advance to the next series of diffculties, which will come when the benefit district is mapped out and the special taxes levied. City Attorney Connell, who effected the settlement with Dr. Miller, said: “Thus far everything has been smooth sailing. us every suit arising from the proposed boule- vard has been settled out of court. I am now at liberty to fle the deed dslivered to the city by J. M. Woolworth, conveying a considerable number of lots in Oakhurst for a park along the boulevard. This deed was committed to my keeplag with the under- standing that it would not be recorded up- til all the appeals from the awards had been disposed of. The fact that Mr. Wool- worth now releases me from fhe obligation indicates that he considers the boulevard an assured fact. Plans for the Sewer. “The plans for a sewer extending along the boulevard from Leavenworth street south to Poppleton avenue bave been com- pleted by the city engineer and construction of the sewer has been autherized by the mayor and council. Advertisements for bids for this work are now being published, and they will be opened April 35. It is likely that work on the sewer will begin imme- diately afterward, and this, in torn, will lay the foundation for grading tbe boule- vard. In places where the line of the sewer | and that of the boulevard are not common the work of grading can begin now “The boulevard, when completed, will be about seven miles in leogth and will extend from Riverview park to Hanscom park, thence by a devious course 1o Burt street and finally to Bemis park. It will be a beautiful driveway, and will serve to re- deem that portion of the west side which lies between the best residence portion and the maln business section of the city. Park Commissioner Cornish said: he board of appralsers placed a remarkably low price on the property condemued for The rage is $250 per acre for property right in the heart of the city. The assessed value of this property is comsiderably in excess of the price awarded by the appralsers.
