= . 1y I THE OM HA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, K EPTEMBER 16, NEW BOOKS AND MAGAZINES Ainslee’s Magasine for October Filled with Many Bright Features. "'PLACE AND POWER" A PLEASING BOOK “Cowboy Life on the Sidetrack” is an Extremely Humorous and Sar- Story of a P ping Cattle. “Local Color" Is the title of a short story In Ainslee's for October by Jack Loudon, author of “The Call of the Wild.'" 1t is really a character sketch, a bit of autobiog- raphy of an educated “hobo,” full of the witty, eplgrammatic sayings of one of these lookers-on, but told in the language of a cultivated man of the world. Rafael Saba- tinl appears In a story entited, “The Duel- ist's Wite." It I8 told in an attractive collo- qulal style, which adds piquancy to the ludicrous situation at the end. “The Manip- ulator,” by Alberta Bancroft, Is an interest- ing and ‘well-told tale of the doings of a wide-awake, enterprising young woman, who suddenly finds herself deprived of her ordinary means. Her serene unconselous- ness of the distress of her well-bred rela- tives makes delicious reading. ‘““The Fog of Ignorance” is a dialogue by M. H. Vorse. It 1sbright and witty and is calculated to shaw that even o keen a dissector of character a8 a writer of fiction understands woman @s little as other men. E. Nesbit appears again, doubtless to the satisfaction of Ains- loe's readers, with a short story entitled “The Brute.” It Is an excellent character sketch, and, like all of this author's short storfes, has a flavor of originality about it that seems o hard to catch. Willlam M Raine has ar' amusing story entitled “Enter Miss Harnsworth,” which tells of a novel method adopted by a lover to help his #weotheart to make up her mind. It Is a bright, sparkling sketch, told in extremely good style. “My Lady's Dressing Table," by Sadakichi Hartman, is an entertaining and instructive essay, setting forth the modern devices which women use to en- hance and preserve thelr attractions. 8 N. Poters has a story entitled “At Arms With Morpheus,” which is especlally clever. It is @istinctly humorous, and has a pecullar dis- tinction from the fact that its humor ls spontanesus and the idea original. ‘“The Helix" Is the title of a short story by Mor- gan Robertson, author of “Sinful Peck.” It 1s a story of the sea, a toplc in which Mr. Robertson is at his best, and here one can see that he knows what he is talking about. It 18 a particularly interesting tale. Leonard Merrick contribute, this month, a story entitled, “A Very Good Thing for the Girl.” Whether or not all readers will agree that the title is justly descriptive of the story, they can't help agreeing that the story itself Is a particularly good one and intensely interesting. “Place and Power,” by Ellen Thorney- croft Fowler (Mrs. Alfred Laurence Felkin), is one of the most pleasing late books. It is dedicated To every Briton worthy of the name, Who follows righteousness, instead of fame, ‘Who prizes honor more than place or pelf, And loves his country as he loves himself. It gives us the life story of Bir Conrad Clayton, a man who was an avowed wor- shiper of the Golden Calf. Just as the Easter bells ring out thelr glad. tidings 8ir Conrad hurls deflance at any ‘“power which should dare to stand between him and the fulfiliment of his ambition.” The story 1s divided into three parts: “The Challenge," “The Struggle’ and “The De- feat.”” Bir Conrad threw down the chal- lenge on that bright Easter morning: .he made the long, hard struggle, and suffered the humiliation and defeat that must come to those who worship the goddess, Fame. The characters are strong, but not ov drawn. The awakening of Sir Conrad I brought about In unmistakable ways, yet there s noining startling or shocking con- nected with it, but it all comes about in fust the manner one would expect an awakening of this kind to come to a man of the callber of Sir Conrad. Published by D. Appleton & Co. ‘“The Red Triangle, Being Some Further Chronicles of Martin Hewitt, Investigator, by Arthur Morrison, comprises six ‘‘cases’ of mystery and adventure, Investigated by Hewitt. The opening one, “Samuel's Dia. monds,” is a recital of the mysterious dis appearance of very valuable diamonds. A man concerned, is found dead. On his fore- head is an equilateral triangle, in red out- llne, measuring about an inch on each side. What was the slgn? What aid it mean? The disappearance of the dlamonds could be-solved, but what of the Red Tri- angle? The other “‘cases” investigated by Martin Hewlitt, are equally as Interesting and as full of mystery, and at the proper time the hidden secret of the Red Triangle Is made clear. L. C. Page & company, publishers. “Cowboy Life on the Sidetrack,” an ex- tremely humorous and sarcastic story of the trials and tribulations endured by a party of stockmen, making a shipment from the west to the east, by Frank Ben- ton of Cheyenno, Wyo. The illustrations, which perfectly Interpret the text, are by E. A. Filleau, Kansas City, Mo, The book gives the history of a shipment of cattle from Utah to South Omaha, over the great Overland route. It Is not a very large book In number of leaves, but the ex- perfences of the stockmen with Eatumup Jake, Packsaddle Jack and Chuckwagon And their friends, who grew old, and that the poor cattle, who grew thin on the #detrack, contalns humor enough for a Gold Medal At Pan-American Exposition. Unlike Any Others! The full favor, the deliclous qual- ity, the absolute Purity, of Low- ney's Breakfast Cocoa distinguish it from all others. No ‘“treatment” with alkalles; no adulteration with flour, starch or ground cocoa shells; nothing but the nutritive and digestible product of the cholcest Cocon Beans. Ask Your Dealer for it. lifetime. The author tells us at the very beginning that “I don't want to misstate anything, and I don't want to exaggerate anything, but will tell you the plain facts,” #0 we know just exactly what to expect In addition to the “plain facts” the book contalns several gems of cowboy poetry, “The Cowboy Enoch Arden” deserving especlal mention, its rythm and true poetic expression making it a close rival of a poem of similar title and thought written some years ago. The description of the arrival at the transfer track, South Omaha, and the full-pege fllustration, showing the arrival of the “survivor’ at the transfer, are alone worth several times the price of the book. Hudson-Kimberly Publishing compuny, Kansas City, Mo. “The Yel.ow Crayon" by E. Phillips Op- penheim, s a story of the Order of the Yellow Crayon, a secret soclety, composed of the nobles of the earth, and originally instituted for the united action agatnst soclalists and anarchists. Its members were under oath to obey to the letter all commands written in yellow pencil of a peculiar shade. At the time the action of the story takes place the acting head of the order was an unprincipled scoundrel who was using his great powor to further cer- tain nefarfous schemes of his own, and the Interest centres in the efforts of a former mémber of the order to bring these schemes to naught. Published by Dodd, Mead & company, “The Change of Heart," six love storles by Margaret Sutton Briscoe. These cap- tivating love stories, by one of our best- known short story writers, whose cheerful optimism and genuine bellef in the highest ideals, make her romances at once inspiring and satistying. The stories deal with gentle folk, and in each one some tangled love affair or similar situation is unfolded with dellcate Ingenuity. Published by Harpers, “The Btory of Kennett," by Bayard Tay- lor, was originally published nearly forty years ago. This story of Pennsylvania life, is probably not famillar to most present day novel readers. It is a new edition of the famous story and has been entirely reset. The lllustrations are full page photo- graphs of the charming old homes and other scenes described. The story fs de- lighttul, one of Mr. Taylor's best, and these who love the strong fiction of this able author will glve it a cordial reception. Pub- lished by @. P. Putnam's Sons, “Hearts Aflame” is the somewhat start- ling title of a:new book by Louise Winter, and fllustrated by Archie Gunn. The au- thor very candidly admits the story is not even founded on facts, and that Beatrice, the heroine, is not a typical American, but an Amerfcan type. The book is a satire, showing up the folbles of the smart set, who are ever looking for “something to amuse us.” The author says it teaches—if a satire can be sald to teach anything— that ““a mantle of gold covers a multitude of sins. The story s ingenfously written, and while the characters may be slightly overdrawn, yet they probably do not more than show “whither we are going. The Smart Set Publishing company.

Tour, Furnace Refuses to Work, The inclement weather was responsible for a hurryup call for the fire department from the bullding at 215 South Fourtecnth street at 11 yesterday morning.

GAS COMPANY ASKS FOR FURTHER TIME Matter is Pat Over Another Week After Some Reference to the b Probable Object of the Dela Nothing in the way of proposals to light the streets of Omaha by electricity, gas or otherwise, came to the council last night. The Omaha Gas company communicated a note, saying it was unprepared to submit a proposition and asked that the time be extended othing whatever was heard from the electric light company, aithough its representatives were present. When President Murphy’s note was read Council- man Evans asked how much time was de- sired. “Oh, about three years would ‘be suf- ficlent,” said President Zimman, who de- clared that the gas company, o far as its local officers are concerned, seems to be unfamiliar with the corporation statis- tics which are on record in Philadelphia. Councllman Nicholson gald the evasion made the lighting competition appear a farce. Councllman Back declared there is plenty of time for the gas company to make a proposal before its cowtract expires on De- cember 31, while Councilman Dyball re- marked that it was contended no bid could be made while the city lacked an official paper. President Zimman sald that this fact had nothing to do with the matter. By motion of Councilman Evans the time for recelving proposals was extended one week. No Relief on Market. Efforts to pass an ordinance establishing a wholesale market place In the street at Eleventh and Jackson failed, as did at- tempts to have the prosecution of garden- ers dofhg business in the commission dis- trict discontinuad. A resolution introduced by Councilman Back which sought to di- the market, master to cease filing com- plaints and that there be no further prose- cutions because of the lateness of the season and the probability that the pres- ent controversy over ket sites would be amicably settled by spring, was the first move. President Zimman, who had previously vacated the chair in favor of Vice President Nicholson, opposed the measure, saying that the proposed instruc- tions were In violation of law and that the market gardeners must be forced to obey the ordinances and use the new Capi- tol avenue market house, Back made a fight for the resolution, but it was lost. Later he presented an ordinanca which would authorize a wholesale produce mart on Jackson, near Hleventh, on the side- walk and elghteen feet into the street in front of the lots now used for the pur- pose under the control of the Retall Gr cers' assoclation. A motion to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on the first and third reading was defeated by this vote: Yeas—Back, Evans, O'Brien, Schroeder—4, Noes — Dyball, Huntington, Nicholson, Hoye, Zimman—$. OMcial Paper Fuss. The report of the finance committee rec- ommending the award of the city advertis- ing for the year ending July 1, 1904, be made to the World-Herald was adopted by & vote of 6 to 4, President Zimman contending for Its recommittal. He declared that owing to the advanced season little or no public work could be done that would be kcld back by the lack of an official paper, and he =aid the supreme court would decide the controversy between The Bee and World-Herald very soon. He objected to the court's pre-empt- ing the authority of the council in making the award and recited evidence tending to show that the World-Herald has not the requisite 5,00 Omaha subscribers to entitle it to the contract. Afterward a resolution was adopted designating the World-Herald the official paper, only Zimman, Back and Hoye voting against it. The council adopted a concurrent resolu- tion providing for the payment of one-half the expenses that will be incurred in ap- praising the water works, As outlined the city is to pay one-half the stenographers’ fees for its own appraiser and one-half the cost of the third appraiser, his compensa- tion being limited to $25 a day. The water company is to do likewise and must accept Street Mepairs Ordered. QOrders were given to the Board of Public Works to temporarily repalr North Six- teent street from Douglas to Izard at a cost not to exceed $2,000 in time for the Ak-Sar- Ben carnival. The Central Labor union in a communi- cation asked the council to purchase $50,00 worth of hard coal to be retalled at cost during the, winter—two-ton lots or less. This has been declared impossible by city off- clals, but the document was sent to the committee on finance and claims, The councll approved the sale of $484,000 renewal bonds to W. R. Todd & Co. of Cin- cinnuli afier receiving Information from the city attorney that Seasongood & Mayer have relinguished all claims to the issue. The sum of $1,00 was ordered appropri- ated under the emergency clause for the re- pair of bridges damaged by the rains. Ordinances Passed, These ordinances were placed upon the third reading and passed: To repeal ordl- nance creating office of second assistant city attorney; for the issuance of $45,000 en- #inehouse bonds, as voted by the people; tions by a maximum fine of $100; declaring | the following streets open for travel: Cen- tral boulevard from Pacific to Burt; On- tario from Twentieth to A; Nineteenth from Deer Park to Spring street; Francis from Fifth to Sixth; Howard from Twentleth to Twenty-second These ordinances were introduced, reaq the first and second times, and referred to the proper committees: Authorising con- tract with Unfon Pactfic for the construction of the Davenport street viaduet; directing Unfon Pacific to construct Bancroft street subway; granting permission to Missouri Pacific rallway to lay a side track te Gib- son soap works, on Twenty-elghth avenue, between Boyd and Bahler streets; creating sewer district No, 285, running on Maple street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-ffth; creating sewer district No. %4 on Wirt street, from Twenty-fourth west; repealing ordinances providing for improvement of Lothrop street between Bighteenth and Nineteenth and between Twenty-first and Twenty-fourth and Paclfic street from Thirty-second to Thirty-third; designating Thirteenth street in Arbor place as a street to connect with the Banepoft street sub- way; designating all streets encroaching on Although cheap it is good GORHAM SILVER PoOLISH All responsible Jewelers keep it 73 €00ts & package Central boulevard between Pacific and Burt as part of the boulevard and placing them under the control of the park commission; to change grade of Forty-second street and Forty-third street from Burt to California; to establish grade on Forty-second street from Grand avenue to Sprague and Grand avenue from Ferty-second to Forty- fifth street CREIGHTON ALUMNI the Grandates of Steps Toward Reorganising the Association, Quite a large number of the graduates of Creighton university held a meeting last night for the purpose of reorganizing and forming a new alumnl association. decided to call alumni on the evening of October 5. a geheral ‘meeting of all It city will be here carnival week. thusiasm was manifested at ber from 200 to %0 members when organized.

The police have had information for some time that she has been In the habit of walking the streets at night, but have been unable to apore hend "her. Last night Officer Mansfield met her and locked her up. According to her story, her father is an engineer run- ning out of Sioux City on the Great North- ern rallway. He sent her here to go to school and made arrangements with a Mrs. Brown. residing at Twenty-fourth and Izard streets, for her board. ‘She has been living there and her father has been pay- ing her board. She sald she told Mrs Brown when she left evenings that she intended snending the night with a friend Shortly after she was locked up a_young man called at the station and said he had an engagement to meet her last nieht, but heard she had been arrested.

To open this street means quite an un- dertaking. There is a deep ravine running directly through it. To appreclate the depth of this one must stand at the corner of Twentleth and N streets and look east. At the first glance it seems that there is not_enough dirt to be obtained from both Omaha and South Omaha combined to fill up the hole. But engineers state that It is but a simple matter and that by lowering the authorizéd grade of eastern N stregt, where it Is now already in use, a gradual descent can be obtained, which, after it is really completed, will look simple to those who Investigate the results, N street, it it was cut through to the river, would intersect some of the most beautiful parts of the city. It has always been regarded as impossible, unless the ravine is spanned by a viaduct. A stream of water flows through the gully to the river, and into this stream part of the main sewers of the town empties. By reason of this the city has several times been sued for damages amounting to enough to buy all the prop- erty lylng within this district. But in none of these suits has the city ever been loser. At the next meeting of the council the plans of the city engineer will be made public. After the Peddlers, Detective Ellsfelder yesterday arrested four drivers on delivery wagons for Omaha concerns. It is claimed that each of these wagons was used for the purpose of peddling In the city. There is an ordinance requiring a peddler to take out a license of $100 o year, and this has not been done by many who are sald to have sneaked into the city and peddle their wares on the outskirts of the town. Each of the com- panies were notified that if licenses were taken out within the next forty-eight hours that the prosecutions would be dropped, and all signified their intention of dolng 0. It's Up to the Counecil, It is now up to the council to declare &t what points watchmen shall be stationed on raflroad crossings. The ordinance which was passed Monday night provided that when- ever the council » 1, by resolution, declare the necessity of having a watchman placed at any rallroad crossing, it only had to say the word and the railroad company re- fusing such mandate, would be fined for each day that the crossing was left un- guarded. At the next meeting of the eity councll the council may require the rail- roads to employ additional men in South Omaha. Ope: on Monday.

Wwiil Drain ‘Work was yesterday started to drain the stagnant pool of water that has existed for #o long on the west end of L street and it is sald *hat it will be cleared away as soon as possible. Another accident was reported yesterday from this spot. Several days ago the city served notice upon the B. & M. railroad and the Union Stock Yards company that it would hold each of these corporations responsible for any ) danages resulting from the condition of things, and this is sald to have had a good effect, as the water is now belng re- Prool. moved. Beveral cases of sickness have been reported and Omaha and Souih Omaha physicians have joined in the unanimous verdict that the sanitary con- dition is very bad. Will Investigate Schools, The sanitary inspector may, within the next few days, start an Investigation as to the sanitary condition ‘of the schools of the city. Since the exposition of the eon- dition of things at the school over West- cott's barn, there has been much indig- nant comment that affairs have been al- lowed to proceed thie long in their pres. ent condition. The plan of the room over the barn subjects the children to objects of outrageous vulgarity and this, coupled with the unpleasant odor continually in the room, renders everything so disagree- able, that little work can be‘accomplished. If the Board of Educatlon do not close this school room, the police may do so. Gas Stoves in Use. In many of the office bulldings of the clty yesterday there was no heat, and for that reason there was a great clamor for gas stoves.
