—_——— AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Water Wanted by Residents of Southeast Section of Oity, NO MONEY TO PAY FOR HYDRANTS tenslon of Mains Not Likely Owing to Condition of Exchequer and Orders Already Issned by Ceuneil, Quite a number of citizens who live In the vicifilty of Thirteenth and Madison | streets appeared before some of the city authorities lest night and made an appeal for water. They asserted that at the pres- | ent time the cisterns are nearly dry and | that water is being hauled from the cen- tral portion of Albright at a cost of 25| cents a barrel. What these petitioners | want is one or two fire hydrants so located | that about a score of families who have | bought property in that section of the city can have city water and some fire protection. The fact was made plain to the visitors that there Was no money in | the water fund at the present time, and that there was no thance of any until the | 1902 levy. It was suggested, however, that the people in the vicinity mentioned might chip in and lay a two-inch pipe anl get water through a metef from the nearest hydrant. This would save hauling it and | be more etonomical in the end. As mat- ters stand mow Albright has about all the | fire hydrants its population entitles it to, 80 that it Is hardly probable that the ex- tension of the mains desired can be made this year. Already the water company has | orders for about two dozen hydrants, which | it has been unable to place on account of the lack of pipe. These hydrants, which were ordered last year, will naturally come first and it is presumed that the entire time of the local force employed by the water company will be taken up this sum- mer in locating these. When the next levy 1s made the chances are that more money will be appropriated for water, as the city 1s growing rapidly and the people are demanding accommodations in the mat- ter of city water, fire hydrants, ete. Council Meets Wednesday Night. Although the city councll was supposed to meet Monday night the newly-elected membere fell into the rut of the old council and falled of a quorum just at the critical time. There was a big crowd present to watch the proceedings, but they were all disappointed. Those of ihe councll who did finally get together met in the clerk’s office and after a hurried roll call ad- journed until Wednesday night. It is understood that the democratic majority Is now negotlating with Mayor Koutsky In the matter of appointments. Mayor Koutsky still maintains that he has the right to make appointments and he does not consider that the democratic majority bas any hand in his work, as it has all it can do to look after its own affairs. The charter is so framed that the mayor may appoint from month to month in cases where the council refuses to confirm, and the appolatee can proceed with his duties and draw his salary. So really the mayor bas the council where it cannot get back very hard, even if he wanted to. School Hoard Meeting. A short session of the Board of Educa- tlon was held Monday night, but very little business was transacted. In accordance with the wishes of the deputy state labor commissioner the board let a contract to Gus Andreen of Omaha for the placing of an iron fire escape on the Central school build- ing. ThiS escape will be a serles of steps with euitable landipgs at windows and will reach nearly to the ground. The cost of this work will be $525. There was some little talk about arrangements for the com- ing commencement exercises, but the de- tails were left to a committee. Contracts Signed. Contracts were signed yesterday for the grading of several streets in the eastern part of the city. H street is to be graled trom Sixteenth to Twentieth street, while @ street 1s to be worked and graded from Eighteenth to Twentleth street. Seven- teenth, Eighteentfi and Nineteenth streets will be graded from G to H street. The opening of Twentieth street through the park is now assured, as arrangemente were | made yesterday whereby the roadway will | be opened durlng the progress of this other work. In all, about 20,000 cublc yards of dirt will be moved. Dan Hannon has the contract and will commence work within a few days. To Open Syndicate Park. It s understood that the South Omaha Land company has expressed itself as will- ing to open Syndicate park to the public, providing the city prevents tramps and disreputable characters from infesting the | grounds. Unless the city takes the pre- | caution to place & policeman on the grounds at night the land company will be com- pelled to fence the mew Twentleth street | road. The opening of the park will be something long desired by residents of this city. Report Ready Today. Today James V. Chizek will submit to the mayor and council his report of the condition of the books of the city treasury up to date. This work of checking the books occurs every year and costs the clty about $200. 1t is necessary, however, as the bond companies require it. The report | shows that every cent paid into the treas- urer's office during the tern: ¢ Xr. Koutsky has been accounted for and turned over to Mr. Howe, his successor. Briggs Finds Money.

Ian MacLaren Startles the Managing Editor of a Religlous Paper—iend- ing Magazines for May Fu of Good Things. Mark Twain, the prince of American humorists, has completed a mew book en- titled “A Double-Barreled Detective Story," which has just been published by Har- pers. It is a story in which the author enters upon a fleld that is entirely new When once it is started one continues its persual with Interest, wondering what will happen next. The book is divided into two parts, the first part bearing the unique inscription, “We ought never to do wrong when people are looking.” Jacob Fuller, “‘a handsome young man of slender means” marries a rich young girl, the marriage being bitterly opposed by the girl's father. Jacob Fuller hears of the father's crit clsms, but marries the girl and uses every means known by him to cause her suffering | and thereby break the father's heart. As & last resort he ties her to a tree, turns the bloodhounds loose on her until her clothes are torn from her, then calls them off and disappears from the community. The wife's one cry of vengeance is that her child may be & boy, which is granted When the boy is 5 years old she discovers as & birthmark he has the gift of the blood- hound In scenting. The mother sducates him and when he becomes a young man tells him her history and forms plans for him to “persistently and relentlessly” drive him from place to place by posting placards offering rewards for him, telling his crime, but leaving out the name. She has found a miner by his name in Colorado and the boy starts on his errand, but on dariving Fuller from the city discovers he {8 a cousin. The remainder of the story tells of the boy's experlences In.locating the cousin to tell him the mistake. Among his experiences is the unravelling of a mys- tery by his gift, coming out victorious over the renowned Sherlock Holmes. The managing editor of a religlous weekly had an amusing experience with a cablegram not long ago. He had been cor- responding with Dr. John Watson (“Ian MacLaren”) of Liverpool about a story that the famous Scotch autbor was to write for them. After everything had, as the editor thought, been satistactorily arranged a cablegram from Liverpool suddenly ar- rived at the editor's desk. It read: “An irrelevant objection. Watson.” Dumb- founded, the editor racked his brains to recall what he had now dome to antagonize genial Dr. Watson. For the life of him he couldn’t recall having objected to any suggestion the author had made. About to call for a copy of his latest letter to Liverpool, it suddenly dawned on him. His last letter to the historian of Drumtochty had asked what the title of the new story would be, with the request that it be ca- bled It necessary. And by cable the title had come! Later Dr. Watson altered the title slightly to “No Relevani Objection.” The story itselt is one of singular beauty and 1s up to the highest standard of that master hand. The paper for which it was written is the Sunday School Times, where it appears this month “Comments of a Countess” is a volume of light and amusing satirical sketches of so- clety foibles. The sketches in their orlginal form appeared in the Outlook. Some of the comments are on ‘“‘Theaters” “‘The Sea “Musfc,” “Dress,” ‘“Rest Cures," “Cricket, awes,” “Houee Partles and the Horse Show,” “The Country” and “The Degeneration of Man.” The book 1s not written by a “looker-on,” but by one ac- tually “playing the game” herself. She commences the book with “It Is as neces- eary for a peeress to write nowadays as it is for an Amerlcan millionalre to lose a fortune. Nobody knows how he made it just as nobody knows what a peeress will do next, though many of us can guess, heaven having thoughtfully provided a mi- nority with the fault known as imagina- tlon.” The sketches are Indeed humorous The preface (written by Carlton, the countess’ husband), instead of being at the beginning of the book, as usual, is the last chapter, “in accordance with all the cus- toms and views prevalent in modern so- clety.” It seems to have been written be- cauee his wife insisted on it. He thinks, however, if any one gets as far as that chapter well pleased “with what Dolly has written that even his contribution will be tolerated.” His preface constitutes good | words for his wife—"a written character of the author.” It is published by John Lane “Darky Ways in Dixle,” by Margaret A Richard, Is the title of a book of poems written in dialect, picturing the typical southern negro as he is in the land of his abode. His fanaticism In religion, his proneness to be ‘‘light-fingered” when op- portunity offers (especially when the pro- verbially loved watermelon and chicken are concerned); his varlous and amusing su- perstitions and other things characteristic of him are written of in a humorous veln, On the other hand, the author touches minor chords in singing of the love the faithful old servant bears for “Missus' and “Marsa;" of the prisoner serving a long sentence on the chain gang for some minor offense; of the old and afMicted waiting patiently for the call to heaven, where gladness shall be theirs In the sweet “by- en-by.”" The book is illustrated with pho- tographs from life and is well adapted to fulfilling the purpose for which it was de- signed, that of being offered as a souven!r | of the south to all interested in the ‘“‘cul- lud rtee,” and especlally to winter tour- ;ll s from the north. Published by the Ab- bey Press. “The Misdemeanors of Naney,” by Eleanor Hoyt I8 a new book published by Doubleday, Page & Co. It would be aim feult to fnd a more charmingly frivolou | young woman than this irresistible creation of Miss Hoyt's. She is eimply adorable, and one wonders not at all at the long { cesslon of unfortunates upon whom smile of her mischievous (and, it mu be confessed, flirtatious) eyes, it mus | midsummer madness. Her conquest over | the hearts of foreigners and all classee of people over the states, is not only in- | tensely interesting, but when told by her self, amusing. No reader can fall to close the book without & mingled feeling of re- gret at leaving the heroine and of envy for “The Man Who Came Often.” A double frontisplece in color by Max- fleld Parrish, showing desert and reclaimed land in Arizona side by side, accentuates the begluning in the May Century of the promised series on “The Great South- west” by Ray Stannard Baker, the other { tlustrations of which are also from draw ings by Mr. Parrish.

In his article on “Man as a Machine,” in the May Everybody's, Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemlstry, United | States Department of Agriculture, tells us that man is the most perfect furnace ever devised, and every particle of heat gen- erated by the oxidation of his food has been accounted for on strictly mechanical principles. He thinks that in the future the mechanics of thought and nerve action will be subjected to measurement, and we shall be able to compute the exact calorics of a polemic or & poem. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts made an interesting journey to Russia last year and in the May Scribner's he gives his impres- slons of that great country which is so hard for us to understand. Senator Lodge is not optimistic about the economic future of Russia, taking a somewhat different view from that recently expressed in Scribner's by Mr. Vanderlip and Mr. Norman. He sums it up by saying that the “truth Is that the Russians are a primitive people and at the same time an old people. * * * A primitive people ie economically asteful, and the Russlan system Is | wastetul and ineficient to the last de- gree.” President Roosevelt has accepted the | gracious offer of Alfred Austin, poet lau- reate, to dedicate to him the American edition of his new volume of verse, “A Tale of True Love and Other Poems, which the Harperc published on April 18.
