( NEW BOOKS AND MAGAZINES Willie George Emerson's New Btgry Laid in Kansas. CENTRAL FIGURE IS A POPULIST EDITOR Tolstol's New Book is Entitled “What is Religion"~New Elementary tes of the plains” will without | @oubt take a deep interest in Willis George | Emerson’s new novel entitled, “Buel Hamp- ton.” An original plot, striking characters | and stirring action with the story laid in Kansas, it bas all the essential elements of an interesting romance. And interest ing it ia—mbsorbingly so. The central fg- ures An the sogance are Major Buell Hampton and Bthel Horton. Buell Hamp- ton is a true philantbropist and philoso- pher. As editor and proprietor of the Patriot he disseminates his bumanitarian opinions brosdcast and on account of his| largeness of heart i a_trusted leader in the aftairs'of men. He is an idealist, noble and sincere, who'in endeavoring to put his Jofty theories into practice by securing financial aid“in.a manper in violation of the laws of the land, bas a tragical end. Miss BEthel Horton is & typlcal American Eirl, vivacious and spirited. Her ambi- tious mother conepires with an acquaint- ance, Mrs. Osborn, to marry her dsughter to a titled Esglishman, who has po at- tractions for Bthel, already in love with a Chicago physician; whom she meets while on her journey home from a trip abread, where her mother had taken her to com- plete her eduestion. Ethel is courageous and sweet spirited through all the bitter- ness of the intriguing. which she finally es- capes by & series of évents in which her | loyal friend, Hugh Stantod, plays an im- | portant part, as he does in other incidents of the story. No reader euspects the iden- tity of the cattle tbief who causes so much trouble and ‘the relation existing between Horton, the tattle king, and the other promi- | nent characters, when disclosed, is as much a | surprise to the reader as it is to them. Much humor is inspired by Judge Lynn, a rollicking country lawyer, whose oddities and quaint sayings are highly amusing. He | appears as a_grotesque. contestant in & re- markable foot race thatis an absolute nov- | elty. The characters are real men and women with strong personalities. Range and range life on the western plains are faitbfully depicted. The description of the prairiefire is true to life—very vivid and renl and deserving of special mention. Those who lived in this section in earlier days will read with interest the rivalry between the cattlemen and the farmeérs. Forbes & Co., publishers The fact that Lyof N. Tolstol was excom- municated frozm the Russtan church a few months ago will add interest to his new book just published by T. Y. Crowell & Co., entitled “What is Religion?' The leading article defines religion as “‘the es- tablishment by man of such relation to the infinite life around him as, while con- mecting his lfe with this infinitude and directing his couduct, is also in agreement with his reason and with human knowl- edge.” Upon this basis of religion founded upon reason he stands flatly, al- though such position has often been found shifting sands. “‘Reason was termed the source of errpr,” he says again, “and the Eospel was interpreted not as common ‘setse demands, but as those who composed the church desired everiheless, in view of his present beliefs, which question many of the fundamental truths of the bible, one does not see how his church could avoid refusing him the sacrament, for he follows Voltaire at more than cne point while yet adbering to the “irue.religion—that is, true relation to the source ‘of all—God ‘We cannot give the bent of his mind better | than by quoting once more from the au- | thor where he takes issue with Coleridge and _saye: “I began by Ioving my Ortho- | A& %aith more than my peace, then I loved Christianity more than my church and now | I love the truth more than anything in the | world. And until now the truth colncides for me with Christianity as I understand it ard I profess this Christianity and in that measure in which 1 do profess it I peacefully and joyously 1ive and peacefully and joyously am approaching death." We are in receipt of an “‘Elementary Geography, by Willlam M. Davis, pro- fessor of geology in Harvand - university.

Published by R. F. Penno & Co. . “Jobn Hemadie,” by Ripley D. Saunders, is a May book published by Houghton, M lin & Co. It is & story telling Henadie' perplexing inheritance. The following quo- tation of his mother's from the first para- graph gives the reader a glimpse of her anxiety as it appesrs throughout the book, which is only relieved in the final chapter. ‘Mr. Rolfe,” she asked, “haven't I good reagon to be afraid”’ The question came after reciting the story of her life to the country school teacher. The story is laid | D Arkansas and {ells the lives of two boys | from the time they start to school untfl | well slong into mankood. The boys are Jobn Hepadie and Hugh Latham. It is an original plot portraying a mew phase of in- beriting the bitter feslings of revenge in & long-established feud, the existence of which je entirely unknown to the boys and which causes them much bewllderment as their experiences come to them. While awdy from each other their feelings are only tenderness and love for one another, but the minute they are thrown together the unaccountable antagonmistic feeling be- comes unmcontrollable. John Hepadle's en- deavors to overcome these bitter moods are manly struggles. The reader realizes a mysterious relationship existing between | the boye which is not revealed until al- | most the last chapter. A pretty little love | tale throughout the book causes many | thrilling episodes, from the boys' fight fhe firet day of school until the final grand en- counter which results in both men being | dangerously wounded. Mr. Saunders is an | editorial writer for the St. Louls Republic. “Margaret Bowlby” is a love story by Edgar L. Vincent. While it is a story of love it is aleo & story of politics. The bero, | Robert Kemp, is a young mine superin- temdent, who has grown up from poverty. He is eager to !mprove the condition of his men, and, secking & nomioation for the lower house of the legislalure, is beaten | in caucus by his employer, Captain Bowlby, | the owner of the mine.

The story tells vividly the curfous complications tbat arise in the lives of a poor, proud and besutiful to- bacco stripper—"‘T" Bacca Queen”—who was left out of the will of & rich but eccentric grandfather, because of the frailties of her mother, and her more fortunate cousin, a daughter of a eon, who left in bis early manhood to study music in Germany and in whose favor the will was drawn.

CONSERVATISM 1S THE CRY OF THE CHIEF Any Effort to Turm League Into Polit- jeal Organization Will Meet With Opposition, Strong and Ready. The surrender of the Boers to the Brit- fsh will likely cause a small war among | the members of the Omaha branch of the American Transvaal league when It comes to deciding whether to disband the league, turn it into a political organization, make it a relief league for the benefit of the grange, Wyo., McE. Wermuth of New O i and A. Rosenthal of Baltimore At the meeting of governors previous to the meeting at the den of Ak- -Ben last night it was decided to hold o special session of the order on the even ing of Thursday, June 12, for the purpose of entertaining the bers of the Ne- braska Undertakers' association, which will be in session in the city at that time. There will be about 300 persons present and the night at the den will be one of the most attractive of the reason. It was announced tbat next Monday night woufd be devoted to the members of the Commercial club of Beatrice.

The war began to brew as soon as the announcement was made that the Boer war | was ended and considerable feeling has al- | ready developed, which makes it possible | that the league will g0 to pieces without & formal meeting. President Boonsira represents servative element that desires no meeting held until after deliberation and medita- | tion. Miss Elizabeth Shirley, the secre- | tary, is anxious for a session at once and | is keeping the telephone wires hot re- | questing President Boonstra to meet her | a con- | president and the | yesterday afternoon, but the falled to put in an appearance, conference was called off by the secretary Wants to Take His Time. President Boonstra said last night that | he did not want to do amything hastily ead had not made up his mind as to when he would call a meeting. “I do mot want to| say anything at present as to what my idea is about the disposition of the league” | sald he. “I am investigating and want to | be sure of my ground before I offer ‘any | suggestion or call any meeting. I have | written to Chicago and expect to hear trom there before I do anything. Several call a meeting at once to decide the futurs | of the club. There is one thing certain however. 1 do pot intend to lend any hand | toward making it & political organization. | We organized to aseist the women and chil- | dren of the Transvaal and we might do worse than to continue to assist them, for they are certainly badly in need of as- sistance, even with the vast amount of money promised by England. Some in the | league bave frequently tried to inject pol- jtics into the meetings and I have alway opposed it and will be against any move politically now. It has been suggested that we continue and take up the Philippine war and many other propositions are in the air, but I am in favor of waiting and at- terding to this busiess in a deliberate manner. As for the surrender of the Boers, I do not believe that peace will continue for amy lemgth of time. The Capetown Boers are just the same as the other Boers and they bave married and intermarried and are ome people. They will not consent to be distranchised very long. MERRY NIGHT AT THE DEN Men from Black Hills and Jowa Pay Respects to King of Quivera The crowd which came down from the| Black Hills Monday night and captured the den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben were | certainly no mean samples of the sort of people who make the Hills their home.

It was also the night of tde Towa edi- tors at the dep. For some reason the showing of the men from the Hawkeye state was Dot as large as was expected, but those who were present divided attention with the guests from the northwest. Not to be outdone on its own ground Omaha sent to the -dlen & large pumber of esquires who were created knights by the rites peculiar to the order. Altogether the crowd was one of the largest which has ever passed through the gates of the den and it was certainly one of the best satisfied The night was a hummer from the start. Everything worked to perfection and the ritual committee was congratulated in the improvements shown in the spectacular dis- play. The visitors, well as the older members of the order, were Dot only sur- prised at the revelations made by the slight changes in the arrangements, but they were greatly pleased especially those who had ecn the stage settings before. In the games which followed the lecture of the “It” and the address of the grand mutt!, the men from the Black Hills scored high, reaching points seldom attained on the grounds, but when it came to the finals | Omaha candidates pushed to the front rep- 1dly, as the mew members are allowed to play out the games first, and in the con- | tes! between the home men and the men trom the Hills Omaba was a winner by a clear majority. In the comtest for first | place in the finals between those of the | winning side J. L.
