THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1903. NEW BOOKS AND MAGAZINES A Text Book on Elementary Agrioulture | for the Publio Schools. COMPILED BY NEBRASKA PROFESSORS The October Review of Reviews Con- ta Two Articles on the Prob- lem of the Country School Which Deserve Attention, We have received from the University Publishing company at Lincoln, & text book for public schools entitled “New Elemen- tary Agriculture.’ This book s compiled by Profe. Bessey, Bruner and Swezey of the University of Nebraska. It contains 104 pages and is intended to cover most of the natural phenomena found in daily life on the farm. It begins with plant growth and takes up the principal crops grown on the farm and In the garden, gives hints on cultivating the sofl, rotation of crops, treats of fungus growths and varleties Of the common farm crops like wheat and corfi. Prof. Bruner contributes some of the most important chapters on Insects, ,useful and Injurlous. He gives the life history of the honey bee and the ellk worm. His chapter on the birds that are common In this country would alone be worth the price of the book. From It the children can recognize the birds that fly around them. He does not forget 1o tell how useful they are In keeping the insects in check and counsels the children to preserve rather than to destroy them. Prot. Swezey has contributed several chap- tors on the weather on the farm. what makes the wind blow and the cause of the wind's changing from one point of the compass to another, why south winds bring warm and north winds cold weather, cold waves and blizzards. Another chapter is devoted to cloudy and rainy Wweather and their cause. Snow and hail come In for their share of attention. Thunder storms, tornadoes and weather predictions are explained. The different breeds of all domestic animals are taken Mp and their good and bad qualitfes ex- plained. W. K. Fowler, state superin- tendent of instruction, gives the work his endorsement in the following manner: “The book is well written and admirably well adapted to the higher . grammar grades of village and rural schools. I belleve teaching elementary agriculture will ihcrease Interest and improve Instruc- tion In elementary sclence and vice versa. A closer relation between home and school may be established by teaching in the #chool tho iInterests and duties of life on the farm and in the home. We cannot teach In the school room the “how” of farming, but we may teach the “‘why." Instriiction in agriculture may assist the teacher In showing the ‘pupll the relation ©0f school to his dally life; may assist in connecting the practical in life with the theoretical in schoo!

The Jews count the beginning of their holidays from the time the stars appear in | the evening, and consequently the first ser- vices in celebration of the day of atone- ment were held at Temple Israel Wednes- day and continued throughout yesterday. The character of these services is grave and solemn. The service Wednesday night was practically repeated yesterday from 9:30 until 1. It included an eloquent address by Rabbi Simon on. the subject, “Be a Man,” and some excellent singing. At 3 o'clock the afternoon service began, at which the rabbi delivers another address on “The Destiny of Man." Prayers afe selected from the prayer book. A memorial service begins later In the afternoon, when the destiny of human life Is discussed. Longfellow's poem, “The Day is Done,” | turnishes th rubject for this memorial ser- vice. Miss Minnie Meyer sings a solo. David as an David had committed a great sin, sald the rabbi In his hddress last night, and the prophet repr ched him. The prophet first presented an allegorical story of a rich man with many sheep, and a poor man, his neighbor, with only one pet lamb. In order to prepare a feast for guests he took the single lamb of the poor man and killed it. The prophet then asked David what the punishment should be in such a case, and David replied, "“He deserves death.” The prophet then answered him, ‘““Thou art the man." Rabbl Simon sald there are few among us whom the prophet could not ap- proach in the same way and With the same result, and he asked that every man on this day i on no other day in the year, look down into his heart and ask him- self the question, *What sin have I com- mitted?” and request God to tell him in what way he should atone. He sald there i8 no man among us but who may find himself gullty, if not of this crime, of some other, and he appealed to everyone when they went home before allowing their head to rest upon their pillow to pend a few minutes In silent meditation, asking themselves the question, ‘‘What have I done?” In part the address was as follows: | The story of the world's progress is the story of man's rise from sin, and_through sin. You may never have fobbed a man of his land, but do you walk in sheep's clothing?

CARPENTER'S BACK IS BROKEN Fall from Low Roof Results in Se- rious Injury to Albert ¥, Grows, While working on the roof of a hou: at 1830 North Seventeenth street yesterday aftarnoon, Albert F. Gross, who resides at 1217 South Fifteenth street, lost his balance and fell to the ground, a distance of about ten feet. He was picked up unconsclous and removed to the Wise Memorial hos- pital, where an examination developed the fact that he had sustained a fracture of the backbone at the second vertebra. Ho also had a severe gash on the side of his head, and the third rib on the right side was broken. A more thorough examination was made last night by Drs. Allison and MacDiarmid, and it was decided to postpone the opera- tion which it is necessary to perform until Just pull the chain and up today. At the second examination it was found that Gross is completely paralyzed from his ghest downward, and that he has lost all sense of feeling in the lower part of his body. Similar cases are said by the attending physiclans be very rare, and it is seldom that the patients recover. The operation will necessitate the removal of any blood clot or pleces of broken bone which may be pressing the spinal cord. Gross s 56 years of age, and a carpenter by trade. MERCHANTS . MEET IN OMAHA Holds Convention Here Three Days of Next Week. to Association of State Annual The annual convention of the Retafl Grocers' and General Merchants' assoch tion of Nebraska meets iIn this city Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The sessions will be held in Pat- terson hall, on Dguglas and Seventeenth streets, opposite the carnival entrance, and the meetings begin at 10 a. m. and continue until 6 p. m., with a two hours' Intermis- slon for lunch. It is probable that the Tuesday sesefon will be dispensed with on account of the republican primaries and the work done on the following days. The amusement committee has in view a thea- ter party and a carnfval treat, and one of the South Omaha packing houses has In- timated that it will contribute to the pleas- ure program. The meeting will recelve delegates from fourteen merchants' asso- clations In the state and individual repre- sentatives from unorganized towns. For this redson it is impossible to know how many retallers will attend the convention There is a possibility that the name of the assoclation will be changed, because while only the retail grocers are Interested from this city, in the smaller places the assocfations are géferal in nature, and for this reason members wish the word grocers stricken from th¢ name. The program is: First session will be called to order by President Harry Mitchell of the city agso- clation; Mayor Moores will make an address of welcome and President J. Jungblut of the Lincoln assoclation will respond. G T. Munro makes a welcoming speech ¢ the part of the Omaha grocera and O. Thompson of Blair, president of the state assoclation, will speak.

CHIEF DONAHUE BREAKS UP THE PLAY [ 4 Letters and Telegrams Telllng of Accldents and Begging for Money Get the Writer Into Prison in Nevada, In the annalg of crimes thwarted probably no more interesting tale is told than that of how a burly negro chased a slender youth across two states and into a third. Chlef Donahue had the pleasure of clearing up the matter on Wednesday for an almost distracted mother and setting her fears for the safety of her boy praotically at rest. Last July Frank Rogers, son of J. F. Rogers, 4340 Maple street, Instructor painting and art at the Deaf and Dumb in- stitute, bade adleu to the home circle and went west to seek his fortune. Frank 1s only 17, but possessed cf the proper spirit and pluck landed In Wyoming and soon found employmest on a ranch. W! n he left home he had not taken all his money with him, and while at Cheyenne sent home for tunds, which were forwarded, two drafts for $5 each being sent him, drawn In his brother's name. J. A. Rogers, his elder brother, is a bookkeeper at the Omaha National bank, and it is merely a coincident that one of the directors of the bank bears the same name and initials as J. F. Rogers, Frank's father. Frank Rogers recelved the two drafts and elther lost them or they were stolen from him, his parents are not quite sure on this point, but they do know that through hav- ing possession of the drafts for a few hours a negro siyling himself Sylvester Ages be- came imbued with the idea that young Rogers was the son of wealthy parents and made desperate efforts to locate him and for the purpose of holding him for ransom the parents now feel satisfied. How the Negro Worked. The Rogers' first heard from Sylvester Ages early In August. He wrote them a letter in which he evinced a great interest in Frank and promised to take care of him, but the family now learn that Frank Rogers never knew him. ¥From Cheyenne, ‘Wyo., Frank Rogers went to Ogden, Utah, and was followed by the negro, who ar- riving there and not finding the young man telegraphed Mrs. Rogers that her boy had met with an accident, but that he would find him and see that he was well cared for. Then followed a deluge of telegrams from Ages, most of them coming at night. The parents would be plunged into despalr over the fate of their hoy as depicted by the man signing himself Sylvester Ages, | only to be later delighted by hearing from Frank himself, always from another city than that in which Ages seemed to be and| Head of the house of Graham and Company, Pork Packers of Chicago, familiarly known on ‘change as Old Gorgon Graham, writes a letter to his son, Pierrepont, at the Union Stock Yards.

On September 18 last Mrs. Rogers re- celved two telegrams from Ages in one night, in one of which he asked for a re- mittance of §5 to help him find her boy Frank. She became thoroughly alarmed and presented the case to Chlef Donahue. She knew that her boy was at Woodland, Cal,, working on a frult farm, for he had written her from there. As a result Ages' search for Frank Rogers came to an abrupt end at Winnemucea, Nev., whither he had gone from Carson City, belleving he would find young Rogers there. Chlef Donahue had Mrs. Rogers answer Ages' telegram and gave the sherif of Winnemucea due notlce, which resulted in the negro's appre- hension. Since the arrest of Ages it de- velopes -that he is wanted in Winnemucca for burglary on two occasions. The letters and all correspondence iIn this strange case were turned over to United States Attorney Bummers and have been forwarded to Winnemucca to be used there in evidence against Ages. BABY BADLY CUT IN A BRAWL Innocent Suffers Severe Hurt Durin Progress of a Row at Its Parents’ Home, John @. Peasner and wife, 143 South Fourteenth street, Carrle Smith and an- bther man mixed up In @ brawl yesterday evening.. When taken to the police station the Smith woman had her head quite se- verely injured In the fight. The Peasners have six children, the youngest of which 1s about 7 months old While the fight was in progress the baby was in the room, and in some manner it was struck In the left shoulder. A gash about two Inches in length and about half an inch deep was the result. After the grown people were lodged In jail the patrol wagon was sent out after the baby. It was not known that it had been hurt until it reached the station when the cut in its shoulder was discovered. It was removed to the surgeon's department and Police Burgeon Bchleler took several stitches in the wound to close it. During the opera- tion the baby sat and watched the doctor work with never a suggestion of a tear in Its ey Bevefal of the officers were in the rogm when the physiclan began to work, but it was noticeable that they va- cated soon after the sewing began.

THE.GAS CONTRACT Councilman, Hantington Tells Pros- pect Hill Improvers Why Fran- ehize Was Extended, Prospect Hill jmprovers were out in small number last evening, but an interesting meeting was leld, and an explanation of why the city cpuncil' exténded ithe gas company’s Itghting - fianchise was asked for and granted by Councliman C. P. Huntington, who was present. Mr. Huntington skid the prime’reason for granting the extension was to place both lighting companies on an equal . footing. The electric lighting franchise had yet two and a half years of life and two years had been added to the gas frahchise. This was to pave the way for munlcipal awnership of all lighting plants, or to secure the best terms in granting a new franghisa provid- ing for both gas and electric lights. v Messrs.. Hurst .and Daily, ,members af the club, were not pleased with the action of ..y council, and did not Hesitate to #say s0 in terms meant to covey their dis- pleasure. They considered the mction hasty and unwarranted, and Mr. Hurst sald: “T would not expect to get asked for, two bids from two parties and then award the con- tract to one of them without ‘consul the other or giving him a chance to Comis pete.” i Mr. Huntington replied to the aggrieved tmprovers by téliing them that under an agreement entered into by and between the electric lighting eompany and the gas com= pany no bids were to be submitted to the councll until Mr. Nash returned from a trip abroad. This seemed to modify the pent up feelings of the two' residents of the hill, and Mr. Huntington told the im- provers -a few facts regarding the city's finances and .about. the street and side- walk repairs under contemplation. He sadd: ““The $200,000 bonds we understand from the city attorney are not avallable for current expenses, and we are facing & crists because we have not been able to collect a matter of $250,000 or §300,000 from the raliroads.
