» NEW BOOKS AND MACAZINES Strong Historieal Work for High Schools Published by Appleton. HISTORY American Book Company Publishes An Volume of Milne's Mathe- matical Series Which Have Met with h Succe GENERAL OF COMMERCE “Medieval and Modern History,” by Munro & Whitcomb is as strong & text book for high schools as any which has recently come to our motice. The student of economics and sociology will find this volume well qualified to lay a firm foun- dation for a study of present-day social problems. The book is compact but its construetion, and the methods the author has used In his presentation of material, throw out to students constant hints for re- search, and stimulate even the general reader to take advantage of the references at the end of each chapter. The author has brought the particular problems which each nation has still to solve down to the very eve of the twen- tieth century, and closes by contrasting the opportunities now open to all classes of soclety with the scant advantages of former times. The Source Reviews ap- pended to each chapter are quotations or adaptations from various histories and other books, in order to draw especial at-§ tention to men and women mentioned in preceding pages, to political, social and economic problems and movements, to dis- tinctive characteristics of the governments or countries under consideration, and to the views of great philosophers and his. torlans. Published by D. Appleton & Co “A General History of Commerce," by Willlam Clarence Webster, Ph. D., lecturer on economic history in New York univer- sity. In his preface the author says: “1 have tried to tell the story of commerce in a systomatic manner, in order that the reader may get clear cut and accurate ple- tures of the commercial growth and de cay of separate nations, and an under- standing of the forces, industrial, racial and climatic, which have contributed to the steady expansion of the world's trade.” The subject of commerce is of vital sig- nificance In this country, and In response to a popular demand Is given a place in the curricula of our high schools and col- leges. his book ls divided Into parts corre sponding with famillar chronological di- vistons of the world's history. Part I, Anclent Commerce; part II, Medleval Commerce; part 111, Early Modern Com- merce; part IV, The Age of Steam; part V, The Age of Electricity. The book may be used as a text beek or as a companion to the text books. At the end of each chapter are references to tho best litera- ture accessible. There are numerous maps and fllustrations. Ginn & Co., are the pub- lshers. F. N. SBommer of Newark, N. J., has gotten a very useful compendium of in- formation about newspapers under the title “Sommer's Newspaper Manual," which ‘makes an attractive bound volume of more than 300 pages. In addition to the lists of best advertising media, it presents a num- ber of excellent papers on subjects of vital interest to the advertiser and condensed historical sketches of the principal Amerl- can newspapers. It is almost needless to note that The Bee occuples a prominent place in the compllation and is recognized as “one of the great newspapers of the United States” whose utterunces are widely quoted. The author also aptly declares with special reference to The Bee that the best papers for the advertiser, as for ®e reader and the general publie, are those that constitute a power and command an influence in public affairs. The price of the book is quoted at $3 and it is worth it ““The Middle Ages and Modern Europe, by Dana Carleton Munro, Professor of Eu- ropean history, University of Wisconsin, and Merrick Whitcomb, professor of mod- ern history, University of Cincinnatl. The volume is in two parts—part I, “A History of the Midadle Ages;" part II, “A History of Modern Europe.”” In this manual three subjects have been emphasize The work of the Christlan church, the debt we owe to the Byszantine and Arable civilizations and the life of the times. The date selected for the commencement is the earliest one recommended by the “committee of seven." More #pace Is devoted to modern than to medieval history, and the nineteenth cen- tury is dwelt upon at greater length than y other. The soclal and economic que tions of the present day are made promi- nent factors. There are numerous maps, illustrations and footnotes. Many addl- tional references are given for supple- mentary reading. Suggestions are made about methods of teaching. Plctures and maps are discussed and select bibllogra- phies are furnished. D. Appleton & Co, are the publishers. “Milne's Advanced Algebra,” by Willlam J. Milne, Ph. D, LL. D, has the same scholarly yet simple treatment, and the same clearness of presentation, that have made the other volumes of Milne's Mathe- matical Berfes so successful. It represents the most modern presentation of the sci- ence, and embodies the 'atest and best pedagogical ideas. It contains enough mat- ter to cover either the entrance require- ments of any sclentific #ad technical school or the optional examination In advanced algebra now offered by many colleges and universities to candidates for matricula- tion. The treatment is sufclently full and rigorous for both these purposes, and will give an adequate basis for specializing in the sclence. Published by American Book company. Channing’s “Discourses on War" is the third volume In the International library, published for the International union by Messrs. Oinn & Co., the earlier volumes belng Bloch's “Future of War" and Charles Sumner's “Addresses on War." Channing's wervices in the cause of peace and better international relations were conspicuous, He waa one of the founders of the Massa- chusetts Peace soclety, which was the first Influential peace soclety in the world, and an earnest workér for the cause during his whole life. .Among all men in the American pulpit, perhaps none ever waged such Strenuous war against war and the rili- tary spirit among nations. He felt this, #pirit to be opposed to the fundamental principles of Christianity, and upon this high religious ground his various discourses upon this subject were written. Six of MEGEATH STAT.

CORNISH TO SOUTH SIDERS Explains Why He Did Not Attend Meeting of the Improve. ment Club. Park Commissioner Cornish thinks he is a somewhat abused man and does not hes!- tate to say that he objects to being held rusponsible for the sins of others. Com- missioner Cornish d1d not attend Wednes- day evening the meeting of the South Side Second Ward Improvement club, though invited to do so, but instead sent an invita- tion to the club to attend the next meeting of the park board. In turn the club made another criticlsm, to the effect that it was Mr. Cornish's duty to attend the meeting, In explanation, but not defense, Commis- stoner Cornish now states that he could not, In justice to himself or in courtesy to his fellow commissioners, attend the meet- Ing. The engaging of music for Hanscom park, which was the action the club had criticised and desired him to explain, was opposed by him at two meetirgs of the board end done at another mesting by the other members when he was out of town. He had nothing whatever to do, he says, with providing music or hiring any band, but it would not be proper for him to at- tend an Improvement club meeting and criticise his colleagues on the board or de- tend an act which he had opposed in the board. —_——— SECOND SOUTH OMAHA LINE Property Ownmers South Twenty- Fourth Street Get the Pro- Jeot Under Way.

CORPORATIONS PRCDUCE NO TESTIMONY Board After Hearin Starts in onm the Evidence Night Session to Decide What it Will Do in the Matte: Thursday was the closing day of the ten days' session of the Board of Review. From 9 a. m. until 5 p. m., with the exception of the lunch hour the board was busy listen- ing to testimony and considering state- ments made by corporation attorneys. Mr. Koutsky was on the stand the greater portion of the afternoon and in reply to questions from his attorney gave out a number of facts and figures concerning the packing Industry in South Omaha, along with what he considered a conservative valuation of the personal and real property of the corporations against which com- plaints had been filed. Some of the testi- mony of Mr, Koutsky was decidedly amusing while portions were entirely too serious to be laughed at. Attorneys for the corporations subjected Mr. Koutsky to a most thorough examina- tion and his replies to questions asked showed that he had made a study of values, particularly of corporations, for a number of years. While the corporations did not refute by testimony the charges filed by Mr, Koutsky, the attorneys representing the packers and the stock yards company made statements to the board to the effect that the valua- tions, as compared with 1302, had been raised, and they thought the increase made last year was sufficient to hold for a time. Therefore they considered the figures re- turned by Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald for 198 were entirely too high. It was practically admitted by these attorneys that it the valuation was made the same this year as it was in 132 no remonstrance would be made. Value of Stock Yards. When the case against the stock yards was called Mr. Koutsky was not examined. His place on the witness stand was taken by L. A. Davis, one of the stockholders of the company. Under examination con- ducted by Mr. Lambert, Davis stated that he owned sixty shares of stock in the yards. He asserted that the stock was worth over $100 a share and that the stock was all pald up. As for dividends Mr. Davis de- clared that he received at least 6 per cent interest annually on his stock. Further he stated that he would not sell his stock for $100 a share, in fact he did not care to part with it at all Mr. Lambert then asked the witness what was the amount of the last check he re- celved from the yards company. Before an answer could .be made Davis received a hunch to shut up. From that time on his memory failed him and no further in- formation of importance was secured. All of the proceedings were taken down in ghorthand by an Omaha court reporter and a record will thus be made in case it be- comes necessary to refer to it later. The members of the boatd made minutes as the fmportant points in the testimony were brought out for the purpose of refreshing their minds at the meeting held last night when the valuations were equalized. Under the law no complaints could be heard about § p. m., and so shortly after this hour the board adjourned for dinner. At 7 p. m. the board met in the council chamber. and proceeded to go over the complaints. first it was the intention to tak. = recess until today but both City Attoruey Murdock and C. C. Lambert, the attorney representing Joseph Koutsky, con- sidered that it would be better to hold a night session and finish up the work i the time allowed by law. After remaining In executive session for five hours the board took a recess at mid- night for lunch. It was stated at this hour that the consideration of the valuation of the packing houses and stock yards would be taken up again after lunch and that the session would most likely last until nearly morning. High School Improveme Going on the supposition that the high school bonds voted at Tuesday's special clection can be sold, the Board of Educa- tion is making preparations for securing plans for & bullding. Dana Morrill, presi- dent of the board, sald yesterday that architects would be asked to submit plan subject to approval by the board. Mr. Morrill figures that after the request has been made by the board it will take archi- tects fully six weeks to prepare plans. Then some time will naturally be taken by the board In going over the plans, if any are submitted on the basis proposed by the board. Next will come advertising for bids from contractors. All of these preliminaries will take time and the chances are that it will be well along in the fall before construction work can com- mence. Further, Mr. Morrill stated that the plans of Architect L. A. Davis, for which the school district has so far paid $1,%0, will not be considered by the present board, al- though formally accepted by a former board. Mr. Morrill considers that the Davis plans are entirely too expensive, alleging that to conmstruct the bullding on these plans would mean an expenditure of not less than $160,000. The suggestion has been made to some of the members of the board that it might be wise to wait and see if the bonds can be floated before going to any great ex- pense In securing plans and letting con- tracts. Some of the board members assert that should the bonds fall to sell, a ward school building, similar to the Jungmann school, would be erected on a portion of the hig! school site. An Injunction Threatened. Some of the residents in the eastern por- tion of the city are greatly disappointed at the fallure of the sever bonds to earry. In order to prevent the use of the creek east of Twentleth street A sewer, a meeting was held last night by residents and property owners and it was decided to employ an attorney to go into court and if possible secure an order restraining the using of the N street sewer for sani- tary purposes. This question has been up & number of times, but for some reason has always been dropped. Bome years ago when the first sanitary connection was made with this sewer, which was supposed by many to have been constructed for storm water purposes only, protests were flled with the mayor and council. As the number of residences from Twenty-fourth street east to Twentieth Increased, property owners were permitted to make sanitary connections. About three years ago a lawyer named Kerr took the cases of those living east of Twentleth street and started suit against the city, but Kerr disappeared and the case was abandoned. Now those interested assert that they will employ an Omaha attorney to look after their inter- ests and endeavor to have the city or prop- erty owners on N street construct a sani- tary sewer from Twentieth street east to Thirteenth. Since Lawyer Kerr started his case the Jungmann school hias been bullt and connected with this N street sewer. Two saloons at Twentieth and Q streets are also connected. The plaintiffs in this case want the courts to stop the use of this sewer for sanitary purposes and thus force immediate action in the matter of bullding & new sewer. Library Foun: Completed. Contractor Wiese stated last evening that the foundation for the Carnegle library at Twenty-third and M streets was practically completed. Additional material is being re- celved and Mr. Wiese expects to push his work as rapidly as possible. A quantity of stone for the bullding is already cut, this work being done in Omaha. The stone will be hauled here as the setters need it, and with favorable weather the outside walls of the bullding will soon begin to rise. Ao cording to the contract the bullding is to be completed by January 1, 1904 Paying Election Judgen. City Clerk Shrigley stated yesterday that the councll could scrape up enough money to pay the judges ard clerks who served at the recent special election. Members of the registration board will also be In- cluded. Already some of the judges, clerks and registrars are clamoring for their money and as the matter 1s to be brought to the attention of the council Monday night it is thought a sufficlent sum will be appropriated to take up these obligations Second Installment Due. On July 1 the second Installment of the 1902 city taxes becomes due. Yesterday Swift and Company sent to the eity treas urer a check for $4,260, as the last half of last year's taxes. Other corporations who took advantage of the law permitting the tax to be pald in two installments will make payments on or before July 1. Very few of the small property back as they could have done, o that the work in making out statements for the second half will not be as great as when the first installment is collected on Janu- ary 1.

BARTENDERS’ UNION AFFAIRS Situation Quite nd Pending Troubles Nearing Settléement. in excellent Satisfactory Al Loeal The Bartenders' union held a largely at- tended meeting At their, headquarters yes- terday afternoon, for .the.purpose of con- sidering the strike sitwation from their standpoint. F. B.-Hobby; general organizer of the International union, was present et the meeting and took a prominent part. He sald: “You may say that the-general situation is much better and a speedy settlement of the troubles between the barkeepers and proprietors is confidently ‘looked for. The unfon has by ah overwhelming vote de- cided to stand by the agreenient of January last and carry out the contract for the re- mainder of the year then agreed upon The Courtland Beach matter has been amicably settled to the satistaction of all parties, and the hours and compensation has been agreed upon between the pro- prietors and barkeepers.

DESPONDENT BECAU.E OF ILL-HEALTH Gets Into Bunk at Place of Employ- ment and Apparently Makes De- liberate Preparations for Ending Hix Life. Despondent because of ill-health, Fitz- hugh John, better known as John Peter- son, committed suicide some time after 11 Wednesday night by shooting himself through the heart. The tragedy occurred in the tannery of O. R. Glibert, 1424 South ‘Thirteenth street. The body was found by Mr. Gilbert at 9:30 yesterday morning. Coroner Bralley was notified nd will hold an inquest, probably Friday. Peterson had made careful preparations before shooting himself. Upon a long shelt along the north side of the bullding he had made a bunk of dressed hides and appar- ently to keep the blood from staining these, over them he had placed a laprobe. He then got Into the bunk and covered the lower portion of his body with a horse blanket. These were all in place when the body was found, except the cover, which had been sightly disarranged, showing that the man had struggled some after the shooting. The right arm of the sufcide was over the top of the head and the left arm was curved over the le/t breast. From the position of the latter arm it is presumed that Peterson held the revolver to his heart with his left hand and.pulled the trigger with his thumb. The revolver was by his left side near his arm and had evidently tallen back over the hand after the shoot- ing. Came Here from St. Pa Peterson was about 33 years of age, un- married, and came to Omaha from St. Paul three years ago to work in the Gilbert tapnery. For the last three weeks he had been feeling sick and did no work. He feared paralysis and it is belleved this caused him to take his life, For some time he had made his home at the Thurston hotel. Wednesday, however, employes at the.tannery left on a fishing trip and Peterson had promised to eleep in the Nace and look after it during their absence. He was seen about 11 o'clock Wednesday night in a saloon near where he had been employed and that was the last seen of him alive. When the body was discovered by Mr. Giibert the latter thought Peterson had died a natural death and did not know that he had shot himself until the arrival of the coroner. A hole was torn in the man's left breast and the blood had clotted on his undershirt. He was fully dressed with the exception of a shirt and coat. On a table near where the body was found was a half pint bottle partially filled with whisky. Peterson's right name was Fitzhugh John, but for some reason he preferred to be called John Peterson and by this name he was known in Omaha. MORTGAGE COMPANY’S AFFAIRS Application for Injunction to Restrain Ostensible Stockholders from Bringing Suits. The Fowler-Cowles Mortgage company has brought suit In the district court against Lorenzo D. Fowler and others to restrain the defendants from bringing any sults against the company until the suit now brought can be determined, this sult to determine the title to a large number of shares in the Fowler-Cowles company.

The dog was playing with the hildren when he suddenly began to snap at one of them and to foam at the mouth The children beat the dog off and ran from the room, the dog snapping at their cloth- ing.

Patter- son, state superintendent of franchise, pre- sided, the program being in form of a sym- posium in which all of the women present participated. In addition to the members of the union the members of the Omaha Equality club had been invited and many of them were present. Perhaps the most important point brought out during the dlscuss‘on was the surprising lack of In- formation the women possessed regarding their own position under the law, Few of them had any idea of their real limitations. And this was just the result desired, and after a session of two hours' duration there were many requests that another edu- cational session be devoted to the same subject. Mr. and Mrs, Henry C.

On that day there will be flowers on all the tables and placed about the rooms. There are many of the noon girls who have no flowers at home and whose days are spent in down-town bulldings, ané to these especially flower day means a great deal.
