ADVENTURES OF A NEWSPAPER REPORTER Lawn Tennis Book by Doherty is & Simple Guide to This Favorite Game for Hoth the Novice and Skilled Player. “The Call of the Wild,” by Jack Lon- don, I8 an uncommonly Interesting story, #iving us a strong, clear Insight into primeval life in the Klondike regions at a time after the gold fever began. A mag- nificent dog, Buck, is the hero, although there are other dogs as well as persons who will Interest the reader. Buck was stolen from his home in southern Califor- wheré he had been accustomed to & quiet life in the home of Judge Miller. He. was taken to the Klondike and put to drawing sledges. He s of splendid blood, and in the toll, starvation, abuse and suf- fering Incident to the life he is compelled | to_adopt his blood tells. He makes the most of circumstances, and philosophically accepts, the many chapges that are his lot. The first great revelation came to Buck when he was broken In—that s, whén he learned “the law of club and fang” and realized “that might is the right of the strongest.” The first results of his northland environments were shown in his capabllity for theft, and his cun- ningness in being able to do so without being discovered, thereby saving himselt punishment by “the law of club and fai His experfences awakened In- stincts long dead. Domesticated genera- tions disappeared, and in him there was developing the dominant primordial beast. “In vague ways he remembered back to the youth of .the breed, to the time the wild dogs ranged In packs through the primfeval forest and killed their meat as they ran it down. It was no task for him to learn to fight with cut and slash and the quick wolf snap. In this manner had fought forgotten ancestors. They quick- ened thé old life within him, and the old tricks which they had stariped into the heredity of the breed were his tricks. They came to him without an effort or discovery, as though they had been his always. And when, on the still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolflike, it was his an- ceators, dead and dust, pointing nose at star and howling down through the cen- turfes and through him. And his ca- dences were their cadences, the cadences which volced thelr woe, and what to them waa the meaning of the stillness, and the cold and dark. Thus, as a token of what a puppet thing Mfe is, the anclent song surged through him and he came into his own again.” He soon arose to the mas- tership of his team; then became the best sledge dog In Alaska, and finally ylelded to “the sounding of the call” and won the distinction of master of the forest pack. And “when the long winter nights come on, and the wolves follow their meat Into the lower valleys, he may be seen run- ning at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight or giimmering borea leaping gigantic above his fellows, his great throat a-bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.” It is a remarkable book, and a beautiful contribution to literature. In it are embedded strong truths, which while the author makes no allusions to them, and draws no inferences from them, are nevertheless there. It is beautifully fllastrated in colors by Phillp R. Good- _win, and there are numerous decorated pages by Charles Edward Hooper.

G. Laskey. This novel is a capital story of the adventures of Paul Travers, the hero of Mr. Travers' former clever story. Through the influence of his friend, Mr. Wilder, Paul was given a regular as- signment on the Mercury. One night there was a terrible storm on Lake Michigan. Paul and a companion were sent to write it up. That night he had an opportunity of showing hig mettle In more ways than by doing reportorfal work. A schooner was being buffetted about by the breakers, and Paul, without walting for an invitation, joined with the life-saving crew in thelr work of rescue. He covered himself with laurels and was immediately made a “fea- ture" writer. While on these special signments he had some thrilling experiences in the west, Including one with the Moqul snake-dancers in Arizona; the capture and killing of Sitting Bull and one In the “rust- ler” country, where the stockmen and the cattle raisers of Wyoming were engaged in a squabble, The author's descriptions of the ghost dances are 5o realistic one almost feels they were present at the feast them- selves. One “special assignment” covered by him was the republican national conven- tion at Minneapolls, at which James G Blaine, the “Plumed Knight," was the all conspicuous figure. Immediately after this Paul is made managing editor, and we hope | his blographer will see fit to continue the story and give us the privilege of hearing his experiences in the higher fields of news- paperdom.

(ITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mayor Vetoes Some Items in Apprepristion and Conreil ustains Him. MATTER OF PAY FOR PAVING REPAIRS City Attormey FPresents Effect that Coat Can Be Aswes: Against Abutting Property and Plan Will Be Tried. Opinion to Mayor Moores vetoed certain items in the last appropriation ordinance which he char- acterized as “passed bills” last night, and the council sustained his action. He re- fused to sign the resolution awarding $3,468 to Corftractor Charles E. Fleming fAnal payment for brick paving on Twenty-first street from Bpencer to Pinkney on the ground that the quality of work had been | questioned, but the council made the order effective notwithstanding. A Dbill from Sam Newman for $197 for painting two committee rooms, the room of the president of the council and two tollet rooms, was termed an outrageous steal by the mayor. He said the last time the rooms had been painted the job had been done under contract and cost but $95. the mayor's apartments by contract only $183, or less than the amount of the bill, which specified 284 hours, or thirty- five and a half work days. The bill of W. T. Daily for 36855 for plumbing at the city jail came In for scathing remarks from his As shown on the face of the bill, the job would require one man's time for ten and a halt days at 70 cents an hour, whereas the mayor had been informed that the work required but three days at the longest. About the Paving BHL In referring to the Fanning pavement, Mayor Moores said that it had been ques- tioned whether the work has been done in accordance with the specifications, and he deemed it proper to withhold the voucher untll the truth of the charges had been proven or refuted. He sald that in the past the city had received the worst of similar arrangements and declared payment should not be made until the quality of work was ascertalned to a certainty. In conclusion the mayor said he would not sign the war- rant for the money. Councliman Back stated an inspection had shown the pave- ment to be all right. Only Hoye and Zim- man voted to sutain the veto. City Attorney Wright submitted his opin- fon as to the right of the city to collect for paving repairs by special taxation un- der section 164 of the charter. In his opin- fon, the document recited, the clty has authority to proceed under the law. The attorney pointed out that the arrangement could not be put in effect this year, but suggested a plan whereby city would contraet for repalrs for a period of five or ten years, remuneration to be pald from the general repalr fund, which in turn would be reimbursed by the special taxes against abutting property. With proper care he thinks such speclal assess- ments can be collected and that the effect will be to put and keep the streets in bet- ter shape than ever. To his mind the scheme has many points of advantage and no defects. He recommended that he be authorized to confer with the city engineer and prepare plans for next and succeeding years. The councll placed the opinion on file and adopted the recommendation. Assistant City Prosecutor. Councilman Evans introduced a resolution that would create another offige, that of as- sistant to the city prosecutor at $7% a month, the Incumbent to be selected and employed by the prosecutor and to hold office at the pleasure of the council. Mr. Evans explained that Prosecutor Lee has asserted the work Is too heavy for one lawyer to perform In police court. Upon motion of Councllman Hoye the resolution was referred to the committee on fire, water and police. The introduction of an ordinance later, that repealed the law creating the office of second assistant city attorney, apparently had some connection with the resolution, although the latter office has not been filled during the present administration. Confesses Judgment for Water Rent. There wasn't much hesitancy when the council voted to direct the city attorney to confess judgment in favor of the Omaha cost | Water company In the amount of $46,040 for hydrant rental for the first half of the present year. Councilmen Schroeder and Back chorused in volcing the concurrent resolution so to do. Councilman O'Brien objected and offered an amendment, refer- ring the resolution to the city attorney for advice, but only he, President Zimman and Nicholson voted for swch procedure. Then the action was taken with only O'Brien holding out against it. Attorneys have held that the city is not legally bound to pay the bill. The legislature made no provision for the liquidations of such ob- ligations. No Oficial Paper Yet. The matter of creating an.official paper in which legal advertising can be made was brought up by Clerk Elborun's an- nouncement that if the third quarterly sit- ting of the council as a Board of Equaliza- tion is to be held on September %, 8, 10, advertisement must be made at once. There are fourteen special assessment plans awalting action, involving improvements aggregating 320000, The second meeting was not held because of the lack of an | official paper, caused through a delinquency in the law. Councilman O'Brien was anxious last night to have the advertising awarded to the World-Herald, which the council is free to do, notwithstanding an injunc- tion has been issued forbidding award to The Bee. This started some vigorous pro- tests against government by injunctiom trom Councllmen Evans and Schroeder. The former sald he was willing to place himself in contempt of court by voting to award the advertising to The Bee, in accordance with the original findings of the councll, and learn whether or not the courlcll has any authority or premises. Schroeder sald he was willing to go to jall to obtain his rights and asserted that he was prepared to place himself in con- tempt of court whenever the other coun- cilmen were willing to do likewise. No action was taken. . Want te Sell Part of Street.

President Zimman said that cer- tain individuals desired to erect bulldings and needed the street space By a resolution from Councilman Back $1,000 s set aside from the general fund for the immediate repair of unpaved streets and $500 for repairs to crosswalks. It was stated by the deputy comptroller that there is $21,000 available in the gen- eral * fund. Councliman O'Brien voted against the resolution. He said restriction should be placed on the Board of Public Works, as & job of filling holes at Twenty- tourth and Cuming street estimated to cost $25 had cost about $200, according to his figures. No Petition, No Paving. By refusing to pass the ordfnance creat- ing an improvement district out of Maple street from Twentleth to Twenty-fourth the council ruled a new line of procedure. The reason given by the committee on paving for rejecting the ordinance was that no petition for the paving proposed has been fled. It was recommended that in future no distriot be created previous to the filing of the petition. The electric light company was author- ized to illuminate the city for the Ak-Sar- Ben festivities under the supervision of the city electrican, at a cost not to exceed $2,600, which will be paid for mext year. The amended cocaine ordinance, making it possible to obtalh the drug on presentas tion of & permanent certificate from any duly lcensed physiclan, was passed. The ordinance authorizing an issue of $484,000 renewal bonds was repealed be- cause of a technical error and a new one introduced. Councilman Back introduced an ordinance which seeks to compel the Union Pacific to establish a gate In the fence across Ninth street between Marcy and Leaven- worth, An ordinance was Introduced forbidding prostitutes and the practice of prestitution in the city and prescribing fines from $5 to $100. This is a technical measure to place the prosecution for such infractions of the law in the hands of the city prosecutor. An existing ordinance has been found which enables him to reach keepers and in- mates of houses of fll-fame and disorderly places.

Munro of the Retall Grocers' association is authority for the statement that rain or shine, hot or cold, cloudy or clgar, or any other old thing, the grocers' and butchers' plenic will be held Thurs- day of this week. “It has been postponed twice," sald Mr. Munro, it is to be pulled off this time.

DOS X108 AIR-TIGHT CANISTERS, (PRONOUNCED" DOS REE-0S.) AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oity Hall Propesition Occupies Council's Attention Just Now. PRESENT QUARTERS LIKELY TO BE KEPT Offer of George & Co. to Repair Build. ing and Renew Lea: Consideration and May Be Accepted. Councilmen Adkins, Broderick and O'Con- nor, members of the council committes on public buildings and grounds, have now under consideration the offer of George & Co. for a renewal of the lease of the present city hall building. While J. P. Finley of Omaha asserted that he would make g proposition to the council in writ- ing for the erection of a buliding to be used as a city hall and fire and police head- quarters, he has not done so. Therefore the only proposition before the council is the | one submitted by George & Co. As the piesent lease expires In December, it is necessary for the city to do some- thing at once. It is proposed to rent the entire building to the city and to move some of the offices, as well as the council cham- bér up stairs and thus give better accom- modations. By renting the hall now used by the cavalry troop there would be room for offices for the mayor, city attorney, assistant city attorney, the inspectors, as well as room for a suitable council cham- ber. It is understood that the agents of the property will enter into a lease with the clty for a term of five years and provide more jall room and better arrangements all through with the understanding that the lease 1s void in case Bouth Omaha is an- nexed to Omaha. The Increase in rent for the entire build- ing will not be any more than the preseut rent pald for the building and the ouiside offices maintained. As there is no other suitable building at hand it is more than likely that this proposition of George & Co. will be favorably considered. Chief Briggs Retur John “Briggs, chief of police, returned from Excelsior Springs, Mo, last night He is much improved In health. When the chief went away he was suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism and could hardly walk. The baths at the springs Qid him a great deal of good and he re- turns as robust as before his lllness. As soon as he arrived the chief was called into consultation with members of the Fire and Police Board and the result of the con- terence will be the filing of charges against Officer J. Small and also charges against Captain Shields. These charges wiil most likely be filed today. Chief Briggs said last night that he wanted to make a thor- ough investigation in both cases before fil- ing charges Grading Public Streets. The grading of Twenty-first street from 8 to W street will be completed on Thurs- day, unless the weather is bad.
