—_— THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, NEW BOOKS AND MAGAZINES| “Mara,” Like AlSof Pansy's xunx-,f Touohes & Tender Obord. BOOK ABOUT THE DOGS OF ALL NATIONS Two Treatises on Health that Deal with Common Sense Ideas—Life ©of & Ranch Woman—In of Emerson. “Mara,” by “Pansy,” Is a book in which the opening chapters do not give the slight- st hint of what the story really s to be. It opens with the last day of school, and four young giris, who are very dear friends, are separdting from school life and trom | each other. Naomi was the innocent, dainty, sentimental one. With one accord they mgreed that “short as this life is, by comparison, I want it bright for Naomi. The rest of us can endure trials if we must, but dear little Naomi we Instinctively shelter.”” I wonder if the wretch lives who could be other than good to her. From the routine of school life to the busy one of common everyday life is a great change. To all of the four girls came trials of greater or Jess magnitude, but It remained for the beautiful and sensative Naomi to drink most deeply of the bitter cup, from which neither the fidelity of her triends nor her own purity and innocence was able to spare her. While abroad she met a man who to her innocence and Inexperience seomed all one could wish or expeot. The fact that he was a Mormon, with numerous wives and children, was revealed to her after the marriage. It was explained to Naom| that they all lived under the same roof “until the government made that awful fuss, you know,” since which each mother and her children had a separate home. Poor Naomi. It almost killed her. The trained nurse who brought her back 0 life was Gertrude, one of her school girl friends. Gertrude sent for the other two, and together they planned and prayed for the restoration of thelr beloved friend. The bouk is very interesting and Is quite a rovelation in its dlsclosures of certain Mormon methods. Like all others of the “Pansy” books it touches a very tender chord. Lothrop Publishing company. “Dogs of All Nations, in Prose and Rhyme,” by Conrad J. Miller, ig one of the most handsome books seen in many a day. It there are any who cah read it without becoming more than ever in love with that friend to the human race, the dog, they must be queer indeed. We are told of the Bt. Bernard dogs belonging to the Hospice and of their work in searching for and rescuing the lost mountain climbers. We are given true storfes of the bloodhound, who traced down the poor slave when he made his race for liberty. We have in- teresting storles of the “favorite” dogs of Queen Victorla, of Mr, Gladstone, of Sir Henry Irving Byron's “Boatswain” of whom he wrote his immortal poem. We have stories of dogs whose masters are not so eminent, for instance, Caesar, a North Carolina dog, who went to church, a colored church, with his master. The text was the ten com- mandments, and the sermon was unusually long. Caesar was patient for some time, but finally he could wait no longer and got up and picked up his master's hat and began passing it for the collection, which. was always taken after the sermon. We are given stories humorous and pathetic, but to those who love dogs and are in- terested in them and have been intimately connected with them the stories will not seem in the least impossible. The book Is beautifully and profusely illustrated. Pub- Ushed by J. 8. Oglivie. “The Body Beautiful” common sense Adeas on health and beauty without medi- cine, by Nannette Magruder Pratt, is a very handsome, well as very useful, book.

There is an extended explanation with each figure.

I have tried to plcture ranch life as it really is, in my story, the drudgery, such as that which falls to the lot of the woman Lil—then the really re- fined, almost eastern-like lfe of the sweet lttle home-keeper, Kitty, and so on. ““Nowhere in the world are people so hos- pitable as on the ranches Entertalning half a dosen strangers at a meal {s thought nothing of. There is hardly a day that we do not have company. ““Most women on ranches enter right into their husbands’ or fathers' work with them. They help dehorn cattle and corral them. I, myself, can break the wildest of bronchor to saddle and I adore a bear hunt.” Published by C. M. Clark Publish- ing company. ““The Influence of Emerson,” by Bdwin D. Mead. This volume is a work which will appeal to the publiec with double interest in this Emerson centennial year.

The subjects of the several chapters are “The Philosophy of BEmerson,"” “Emerson and Theodore Parker,” and “Emerson and Car- Iyle," and these titles Indicate sufficlently the scops of the volume, which deals al- most exclusively with the religious and philosophical Infilence of Emerson.

SOLD ONLY IN SEALED AIRTIGHT CANISTERS LIKE THE ABOVE., CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Expeoted Proposals for Strest Lighting Are Not Forthooming. NEITHER COMPANY MAKES ITS OFFER President Murphy Explains that He is Walting on Stuht Injunction and President Nash Says He Walts on Murphy, No propositions for street lighting were made to the city council last night. Presi- dent Murphy of the Omaha Gas company declined, stating that a district court order barred such procedure at present, whils President Nash of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company sald later that the action of the gas company detained the proposal which he was ready to make. The counclimen did not discuss the ques- tion at all, merely referring the communica- tion and a petition protesting against an electrio light monopoly to the street light- ing committee, President Murphy's letter stated that the gas company was in a dilemma as to sub- mitting a proposition for lighting the streets, as on April 28 an injunction suit had been brought by Ernest Stuht and an order lssued restraining the mayor and council from approving a certain concurrent resolution referred ta in the petition or taking any steps toward entering into a contract with the Omaha Gas company and that on June 1 Judge Dickinson continued the case until September 1, and it has not yet been heard. Position of the Gas Company. President Murphy says: “It is much de- sired by the Omaha Gas company to make and submit a proposal for street lighting which would be greatly for the interest ot the city to consider and accept, but this company is advised by competent attorheys that, with knowledge of the restraining order referred to, such an action at this time would be in contempt of court, and that the members of your honorable body would also be in contempt of court should you now take any steps toward entering into a contract with this company.” It is pointed out that the order must be vacated, in the opinion of the gas company, which, it has been advised, can be do without much delay on the ground that such an order interferes with the discre- tion and charter powers of the council and mayor. Electric Light Company’s Attitu A stenographer copled the letter as It was read and dispatched immediately for the office of President Nash, who made the tollowing statement to the reporters after the eouncil meeting had adjourne: “When the gas company falled to wub- mit a proposal we could not submit ours without giving the competing firm an un- due advantage. We were ready to put in our proposition in good faith, but as soon as we learned of the tenor of the gas company's communication it was decided not to make an offer tonight. We are ready to make our proposition whenever they are ready to make theirs. We do not propose to make & proposition and then let the gas company come in a week later. “You can readily see that if the gas com pany can hold this oft until the frost come: that the city will not be in position to get cheaper electric light. The plan requires the setting of 2,200 poles and after the frost is in the ground this cannot be done. In other words, it will be impossible to get the system installed by January 1. The terms of our proposal is known to two men only, Mr. Powers and myselt." City Attorney Wright was asked whether or not in his opinion the pending restrain- ing order prevents the city from recelving a proposition from thé gas company. He replied that he did not know and. would have to investigate the matter to deter- mine. Councilman Dyball Intimated that it is the Intention to have the order vacated as soon as possible, in any eveélt. Complications in Bond Deal., Information contained In a letter from Treasurer Hennings and attachments pre- sented to the council show that complica- tions have ensued In the sale of 44,000 renewal bonds which may leave' the city in an awkward predicament.. It appears that on August 12 Treasurer Hennings signed & contract with Seasongood & Mayer, bankers, of Cincinnati, for the pur- chase of the bonds at par. on the same day that the councll passed a concurrent resojution authorizsing such sale. Later the ‘mayor refused to sign the resolution and gave reasons, the coun- cll approving his veto and directing that the bonds be sold at public sale. The issue had once been offered at pub- lic sale, in June, at 4 per cent Interest, and had been bought by another Cincin- nat! firm, which afterwards repudiated the bargain, saying that its attorney had rendered an opinlon unfavorable to the legality of the bonds. Treasurer Hennings states in his communication that he con- sulted with five other firms without being able to find a prospective purchaser. Con- sequently. the interest rate was extended to 4% per cent, and Seasongood & Mayer having offered to buy the bonds at par and accrued interest, a councll resolution suthorizing this deal was obtained. Then a week later came the mayor's veto and directions to readvertise for the sale of the bonds. Sensongood & Mayer Threaten Suit. Treasurer Hennings sent back Beason- g00d & Mayer's certified check for 5,000 and informed them that the transaction was off, but they have sent a letter under date of August 27, saying that they expect to enforce the contract if the city does Dot carry out its agreement. They deny the right of the mayor to veto the resolu- tion, because it does not concemn the ex- penditure of money. Treasurer Hennings says “In this connec- tion and in my judgment for the city to attempt to deliver this issue to other than Seasongood & Mayer would result fn ltiga- tion, which would cloud the bonds to such an extent that a good delivery ceuld not be made, to say nothing of the charge of bad faith which would militate against the city in future sales. The matter was referred to the finance committee. B. F. Thomas was appointed second as- sistant attorney and his bond confirmed, the council instantly confirming the ap- pointment when made by Mayor Moores. This position has been vacant during the present administration owing to City At- torney Wright's objection to its incum- bency by Mr. Thomas. Paving and Sewer Contracts. President Zimman toward the close of the meeting forsook the gavel in tavor of Vice President Nicholson and took the floor, where he forced the paving and sewer spec- ifications matter to an lasue. He secured the approval of the sewer specifications and the promise of Chairman Back to report on the paving specifications next Tuesday night. Zimman accused Back of having twice falled to report on the specifications after he had been ordered to do so by the council in committes session. Back repliad that he had not been able to get the sig- natures of the other members of his com- mittee and Councliman Evans came back with the assertion that he had never had an opportunity to sign reports favoring the specifications in point—those drawn by City Engineer Rosewater. Back took exceptions to this At fOret Zimmes demsanded that This was done ' an immediate report be made, but Back said the documents were at his home and he could not comply. Instructions were issued to the Board of Public Works to have a stoneyard enclosed by & tight-board fence established under the Eleventh street viaduct at a cost not to exceed $250, the work to be accomplished without delay. Street Repairs Ordered. City Engineer Rosewater having certified that the streets are in bad and dangerous condition owing to the recent heavy rains, an emergency appropriation of $5.00 was ordered for immediate repairs. This was the amount estimated necessary by the en- gineer. Twenty-seven additional men wera put on the public works eligible list, Councilman Dyball secured the adoption of a resolution directing the treasurer to refund money pald for stalls in the Capitol avenue market house upon the request of purchasers, Engineer Rosewater said this was done because one of the concession- aires had decided to go into another busi- ness, because of the market houss com- plications and wanted his money back for the purpose. Deputy City Assessors. Tax Commissioner Fleming's appointment of twenty deputy assessors was confirmed. He sald the new law renders this force in- adequate and he asked for a conference with the council with a view of arranging for more men. The request was referred to the finance committee. These are the men appointed: G. W, Corell, P. L. Forgan, J. G. Arthur, James McMonles, E. M. Bonce, A. E. Lindell, H. 8. Gillesple, C. C. Winter, W. C. McLean, Elias Svenson, Ben Durham, T. C. Goodson, John Kow- ewskl, M. T. Kinns Andrew Lawler, F. ‘W. Bandhauer, L. Kroner, C. J. Canan, J. B. Parrott, Chas. Hanley. General Manager Fairfield of the Omaha Water company sent in another query as to when and how the city is going to bear its share of the expenses of appraising the water works. He had propounded this question June 2. He says the general un- derstanding is that both parties are to bear equally In the cost, but that formal action is necessary by the council. The communication was referred to the com- mittee on fire, water and police. A contract for repairing fire engine houses at Eleventh and Dorcas, Sixteenth and Nicholas and Twenty-fourth and Cum- Ing streets was ordered awarded to Olsen & Jensen at $1,320.90; that for painting the Eleventh and Dorcas street house to P. J Rellly at $265; for painting the house at Sixteenth and Nicholas to A. L. Seabrooke at 3210 and for plumbing in the latter house to T. F. Balfe for $22. FILES PAPERS FOR BEATRICE Olty Attorney Places Stipulation of Facts Before Judge Munger in Important Case. City Attorney M. B. Davis of Beatrice was in the city last evening and filed a stipulation of facts in the United States circult court in the case of “The United States of America on the relation of the Tompkins County (New York) and the Bangor Savings bank, against James E. Jones, as city treasurer of Beatrice, M. E. Shultz as mayor, and the mgyor and coun- cil of the city of Beatrice, Neb., respond- ents.” The case is now in the hands of Judge Munger, but it is not known just when he will pass upon it. THE REAL CAUSE. The Anelent Scalp-Fever Theory Ex- ploded. At one time dandruft was attributed to tho result of a feverish condition of the scalp, which threw off the dried cutlcle in scales. Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany, noted authority on skin diseases, ex- plodes this theory and says that dandruft is a germ disease. This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads. It can be cured if it is gone about in the right way. The right way, of course, and the only way, is to kill the germ.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAMA Mayor Koutsky Issues His Labor Day Proolamation. PLANS LAID FOR SPEECHLESS PICNIC Pork After a Parade and Spend the Day in Games—Magie City Goi Mayor Koutsky last night lssued the following proclamation for Labor day: Whereas, Under the laws of this natiol and under the laws of the state of Ne- braska, the first Monday in the month of September In each year is declared to be and js set aside as a legal hollday and known as Labor day; an Whereas, SBuch day 'is designated and set apart as the proper recognition of laboring people, who by their energles and toll are yearly building up this country and im- proving and developing the material wealth and resources of this nation and whose numbers d importance are constantly increasing and demanding and properly ob- taining higher recognition. Now, therefore, I, k Koutsky, mayor of the city of Bouth Omaha, hereby re- uest that Monday, the 7th day of eptember, be properly observed and to that end 'the several offices of the cit; will be closed. 1 further request thit a business houses and business places of id city close at 9 a. m. and keep closed all day. and that all persons join in and partake of the festivities and enjoyments of sald occaslon. Dated at South Omaha this 2d day Beptember, 1903, - vim FRANK KOUTSKY, Mayor. All of the many labor unions in South Omaha ‘are making preparations for s grand parade and picnic to be held at Syn- dicate park. While the plans are not all completed, the work of the various com- mittees Is being dispatched with rapidity and everything will be in readiness by the morning of September 7. Many of the labor unions have ordered spectal uniforms for the occasion and it is expected that there will be not less than 4,000 men in line, as each union will send a delegation, There will be no speechmaking at the park, the sentiment being to devote the day to resting and to sports. A complete program, along with the line of march and the name of the grand marshal and his aides, will be ready for publication the ! latter part of the week. As there will| be no celebration in Omaha this year, it is expected that a great many of the mem- bers of unions there will attend the cele- bration here. ‘Want Meunted OfMcers. The Fire and Police board met in the council chamber last night and transacted some routine business. The resignation of Frank Morton, patrolman, was accepted and Lou. Brenman was appointed in his stead. An iInvitation from the labor unfona ssking the board to review the Labor day parade was accepted with thanks. . When it came to a question of appointing another patrolman, Chajrman Vansant sug- gested that a mounted patrolman would be | a good thing This was suggested to Chiet Briggs some weeks ago, and he reported that none of the men under him wanted the job. Nolan sald that if appointed to mounted duty, the officer would recelve the same pay as usual with the exception that $15 & month would be added for horse feed. The officer would be compelled to furnish his own horse and equipment. It was whispered that none of the patrolmen on duty now want to go to the expenze of buying a horse because their tenure of office 1s not certain. After & short discus- sion the matter of a mounted officer was dropped. Vansant brought up the question of a “burnt" district and Mason finally offered a resolution declaring a district. This dis- trict extends from O street on the south | through the alley north to within sixty fest of N street. It was stated that there was plenty of vacant ground that could be buflt upon in this district if desired. The board adjourned to meet at the call of the chair. Shields Releases Prisoner. On the night of August 24 John Haye, a stockman from out in the state, was ar- rested for being drunk and disorderly. After Haye had sobered up he appealed to P. H. Shields, the night captain, to be released. The captain agreed to this upon Haye putting up a $10 cash bond. This was done and Haye was turned out. About 6:3) | o'clock on the morning of August 3 Haye called at the police court, but found no | one there but the ballift. He was told that he had been cited to appear at 9 | o'clock. This did not sult Haye, as he | said he wanted to get home with a bunch | of teeders. Ballift Allen replied that noth- ! | ing could be done until the judge arrivel |at 9 o'clock. Immediately following the conversation with. the balliff, Haye went to the jall and had a conference with Cap- tain Shields. The result was that the cap- taln gave Haye back his §10 bond and told him to go on home. About this transaction Judge King sald: “I neither saw the man or the money. There is a record of his arrest on the books of the police, and there is alvo a record that he was released.on a ocash bond to appear in police court at 9 o'clock August 2. When my books are checked up 1 will be found $10 short, but through mo fault of mine, as Haye never appeared be- fore me.” The judge was quite indignant | and did not hesitate to say a few things about the policemen who take the author- ity of the judge in their hands, release them and give the bond money back, leav- ing him to settle the deficit. Heavy Sheep Reo: On Monday 19,000 sheep were recelved at the yards here, and yesterday 20,000 sheep came In from the western ranges. The heavy recelpts of the two days had a rather depressing effect on the market and the result was that last night quite a bunch was left over to be sold today. Buyers did not seem to like the quality of some of the stuff sent in and consequently were slow in bldding. The big sheep barns were amply adequate to hold all of the sheep, and then some, 8o that there was no congestion as far as the stock yards were concerned. Most of the sheep coming in now are feeders.

PAINTS SOCIAL WRONGS IN SOMBRE TONE Talks of White § Grasping Moneyed Men and of the Evi that Flow from Estabe hed Order. A fair-sized audience listened to Father Thomas J. Hagerty at the Creighton thea- tor last night when he delivered his &' iress on the subject of soclalism. Father Hagerty said: There is only one right frame of mind in which to approach any problem, and that s absolute intellectual honesty.” Not the kind of honesty which prevents men from breaking into your house and stealing your silverware, but the honesty which dominates every clean soul. proach our subject with this feeling we see that today, in the great swirl of progress, human lifé has lost its value. There was a time when the dark pigment under the skin proclaimed a monetary value to the human being when placed upon the block. All statements to the contrary notwith- standing, there was very Jittle abuse of the alave in the sunny south for the same reason that the owner of a fine race horse would not abuse his property. The white slave of today has not even the monetary value behind him to insure his fair treatment. 1In the cotton mills of the Carolinas and of Texas there gre baby slaves. All the light and music and the song of birds are dead within thelr brains. 'Thelr lives are ground into profit. Day after day they are tied to the looms. Al the bright prospects which appeal to manhood and womanhood are wiped out for them. They slowly inhale the lint from the looms, it filla the tiny air cells of the lungs and they fall victims to the terrible white plague, consumption. Cheapness of Human Life. In the citles there are women who mouth religion on Sunday, while at the same time they are wearing dresses of silks which cost human lives In (he weaving, and they spend their incomes during week days, de- ved from the looms and machines of the factories, which are death engines for those who operate them. Even if one of the operatives in the mills becomes sick and medicine is needed, the drug Itself has been adulterated by some manufacturing chemist to secure a small fraction of a mill profit. In Wyoming a short time since 232 miners lost their lives simply because human life is worthless. Into the press dispatches there crept some inkling of the truth when the statement was made that the mines had been considered unsafe for a long time. Had it been 232 darkles killed in slavery days, it would have been a great calamity; or had as many mules suffered death, it would have been considered a serious loss. It would have required capital to replace them. There would not have been 282 other mules rushing across the country to take their places as soon as the accident hap- n PHi*% a terrible conattion of things when the gray-haired man is turned out in his ears by a concern which he has served falthfully all his life simply be- cause he has lost some of his value and a younger man can accomplish more work, nd consequently make more money for his employer, yet this s the very thing we raad _that James J. Hill and the Northern Pacific s doing. The worst feature of the whole proposi- counts for nothing when the bullding up of modern business enterprises is at stake. The wages pald them in the great business emporiums are so small that they are forced to sell their hodles for bread. Thelr lives and honor are held absolutely worth- less as, compared with the ayarterly divi- dend. These women have ! same right to protection by the government s any businees man's wife or mother here tonjght. In the same manner in which you have yoted, Just in such manner are vou re sponsibie for the condition of these poor women, and you cannot shirk the respon- sibility’ 1f you are bonest to yourself.

But ueither one can be sald to be a physiological food. Neither one rep- resents those superb qualities native to the wheat and that Nature designed for her children. White flour, like whiskey, I8 the product of Art—not of Nature. It i, indeed, merely a part of the perfect whole. On the other hand, in Shredded Whole ‘Wheat Biscuit, made from the eatire wheat kernel, we have a food that has not been stripped of one single organic ele- ment, It represents the complete grain Just as the soll, the rain, and the sunshine produced it. No effort to improve on the work of the Great Master Bullder. In this food we have every property to bulld and maintain every part of the body. De- fective teeth and weak rves evidence the use of defective food. Moreover, in Shredded Wheat we have bulk which the stem demands, “I have had stomach and bowel troubis ali my life and find that your cereal food, Shred- ded Wheat Biscult. does me more good thep all the medicines | have ever used.'—C.
