One of the essays, “A Neglected Epic,” is of especial interest to American authors and Americans in general. He says, among other things: “And thé Alamo: There is & trumpet call in the word; and only the look of it on the printed page in a flash of fire. But the very histories slight the deed, and to many an American, born under the same flag that the Mexican rifles shot to ribbons on that splendid day, the word is meaningless. Yot Thermopylae was less glorious, and in comparison with that slege the Investment of Troy was mere wanton riot.”"—The different essays are very in- teresting, and one cannot help being im- pressed with the tremendous earnestness of the author.

Opportuni- tles come to him thick and fast, but not faster than he fs ready to take advantage of them. A wonderful man is Gerard. He tells you frankly how he saved the honor of France; how he rescued the army from defeat, fed the starving soldiers, captured elties and derected whole campalgns. He retalls these stories of his marvelous ac- complishments with great snap and gusto, His tales told In a soldier's direct, bluff way, rush swiftly to whipping climaxes that leave the reader almost breathiess. He had some experiences in love as well as in war, and he tells them with quite as much jest as he tells of the others.

At Wolff's hall Monday night fully 600 electors of the Sixth and Eighth wards con- gregated to hear noted expounders of re- publican doctrine speak on the pertinent issues of the current campaign. Prior to the opening of the hall the grotesque band of Prot Louls Neihaus called the crowd together and by §:30 it was seated—those who came early getting the seats, and the tardy ones contenting themselves with “standing room only." Chairman John A. Scott called the several candidates to the rostrom and obtained from them the usual hopeful expressions for party success. The candidatés intro- duced were: Harry D. Reed, for county assessor, thanked the ward voters for the king of the race, with a sympathy and vividness which makes the reader live with the glants of the sea.

In this work the author provides a thorough course in physics for schools which offer little or no laboratory work.

From a conventional life Ann is thus brought into association with resolute men—miners and ranchers— and as she realizes more and more the reality of this life and the artificiality of her social life in the past, her character expands. A miners' strike, high up on the mountain peak, amid the wildest scenery, makes a thrilling background for the woo- ing of Ann—a fascinating love episode. Life in p mountain mining camp is de- scribed as it never has been before.

A man or there may have a particular friend he wants to vote for, but I belleve ninety: nine out of a hundred will vote the straight ticket. I am not going to take up all your time.

Pumpkin Loaf—Take a quart of stewed pumpkin drained and mashed fine; season with a teaspoonful of salt, add a table- spoonful of sugar, A teaspoontul of baking soda, dissolved in a little hot water and three pints of white cornmeal or very fine cracker meal. Add a little milk or cream it it seems too dry. Mix thoroughly and steam three hours, then bake for one hour. Eat hot with a hard sauce. Pumpkin Marmalade—Cut a ripe yellow pumpkin into large pleces, pare scrape out the seeds and then welgh. To every pound allow a pound of sugar and an orange or lemon. Grate the pumpkin on coarse grater and put It into a preserving kettle with the sugar, the grated rind of the orange or lemon and the strained juice. Let it boll slowly stirring frequently and skimming well until you have a smooth, thick marmalade. While still hot pour it into glass or china jars or tumblers, filling not quite full. When cold pour over the top a covering of melted paraffin, cover with the 1id or brown paper and keep in a cool, dark place. Preserved Pumpkin—Select a sound, ripe pumpkin, cut into pleces about two Inches long and an inch wide; scrape out the seeds and then bofl the pumpkin gently in clear water until tender enough to plerce with a straw. Then drain and weigh. To each pound of pumpkin allow a pound of white sugar and a lemon to every four pounds. Add the Jemon sliced, the sugar and halt a cup of water for every pound of sugar. Let boll gently untll a clear syrup Is formed, carefully removing the scum as it arises; then put in the pumpkin, cook gently until it looks transparent, place the pumpkin in glass jars, boil down the syrup a few minutes then pour over the fruit and seal llke other preserves. Canned Pumpkin—It may be stewed as for ples, placed bolling hot in glass jars and sealed quickly or cut into Inch cubes, pare, scrape out seeds and stringy part, cook In clear water or very weak syrup until tender enough to eat, then place in glass jars and seal while bolling hot. Some housekeepers use the cold wafer process with great success.

Pumpkin Patties—Take two cupfuls of pumpkin that has been steamed and rubbed through a sieve. Sweeten with a cup of sugar, add four slightly beaten eggs, a pint of rich milk, half a cup of maple syrup and nutmeg, cinnameon or ginger and salt to suit the taste; then add two ounces of melted butter.

LEASE FOR BUILDING EXPIRES SOON Matter Placed in H ot Commities n Bul and Grounds with Power to Act in the Premises, All members of the city council were pres- ent at the meeting last night and Mayor Koutsky ocoupled the chai: Adkins, chairman of the committee on public bulldings, brought up the question of renewing the lease for the present city hall building. He suggested that as the five-year lease now held by the city ex- pires in December, something ought to be done to either renew the lease or make pro- vision for other quarters. To this end he offered a resolution empowering the com- mittee on public buildings and grounds to enter Into a contract with the agents of the building for one year. Smith objected to this unless the agents would agree to make some improvements and do some cleaning up. It was declared by Smith that the heating apparatus in the bullding is In bad condition. The resolution of Adkins was, after some discussion, changed so as to direct the pub- lle property committee to make other ar- rangements for city offices in case the agents of the building now occupled by the city declined to comply with the requests of the councll in the matter of giving better heating service and making repairs to the bullding. Every member of the council voted in favor of the amended resolu- tion. Communications were read from the Fire and Polico board, regarding the need of repairing hose cart No. 1, repairing the Jail and the installation of patrol boxes. These communications were referred to the finance committes without comment. F. N. Clark, representing J. L. Brandels & Sons, bankers of Omaha, was present. He presented a telegram from W, J. Hayes & Sons of Cleveland, which was read by the clerk. This telegram was to the effect that the buyers of the overlap bonds would forward by mail to the city officlals com- plete instructions for the shipping of the overlap bonds. At the suggestion of City Attorney Mur- dock, the damage claim of Bertha Kunkel for $200 will not be allowed. Seven ordinances providing for the laying of two plank sidewalks, mostly in t southern and southeastern part of the city, were passed. The Missouri avenue sewer is to be ex- tended about 400 feet unless the mayor vetoes the resolution passed by the coun- el Adkins brought up the question of a road to the river for the dumping of gar- bage. Under Instructions from the council a road Is to be constructed at as small a cost as possible, as it s deemed neces- sary that this work be done as soon possible. An ordinance was read for the first time providing for an Issue of $21,000 renewal bonds to take up district indebtedness bonds. These bonds are to run for twenty years and bear date of November 1. Twe coarse sleve.

MATTERS : — Document . in Herbert Blackmore's Camse Filed After a Full Heart; ‘The case of Herbert:Blackmore, who filed charges against the police department, came up before the Fire and Police board at its. meeting held last night. Blackmore alleged that he had been arrested without cause and dotained at the station from Baturday evening until the following Mon- day, and that during that time he was not allowed to communicate with his friends. A thorough investigation of the case was made by Acting Chief Mostyn during the past week, and all the evidence secured was produced at last night's meeting. It showed that Blackmore had been arrested before, and that in at least one Instance when he was arrested in Council Bluffs his mother was notified and refused to do any- thing to secture his relese; In written state- ments all of the officers on duty at the statlon during the titme of Blackmore's confinement asserted that he had not even asked for an opportunity to communicate with anyone outside. The documents In the case were ordered placed on file. The arrangements made under diection of Acting Chiet Mostyn for the funeral of Officer James Cusick were approved by the board. A leave of absence of ten days was sranted to Patrolman F. T. Davis. An order amounting to $37.70, drawn on the policemen’s reliet fund for the expenses incurred at the funeral of James Cusick, was approved by the board for payment. The bond of James Alcorn as special policeman, amounting to $1,000, was ap- proved. A large number of bills were dis- posed of. H. C. Dunn, as secretary of the Police- men's Rellef assoclation, recommended to the board that some one be appointed to take charge of the unclaimed property which is held during the year and disposed of at the annual sale for the benefit of the relief fund. A recommendation was also made to add & mew rule requiring those taking advantage of the sick benefit to report their iliness before ten days have elapsed. Both matters were referred to the proper committees. DR. CHARLES FLESH FOOD For the Form and Complexion. -t Tesmen, e Y = lisd # O arvet special meetings will doubtiess be held this week for the passage of this bond or- dinance. ‘When the reading of this ordinance was concluded the council adjourned for one week.

These prints show that the line s to start at Thirty- sixth and L streets, run in &' southwesterly. direction to Q street and strike the county road at Good. Luck addition. From this point the line is to run west to Sarpy Mills and thence southwest to Papillion. B. E. Wilcox, one of the Incorporators, sald last night that he thought the com- pany would commence grading this fall A prospectus is to be issued In a few days. As far as the present plans are concerned the line is to be a steam road. May Buy Truck. Councllmen Proderick, Welsh and Smith of the fire and water committee now have under consideration the purchasing of a hook and ladder truck for the city. For years there has teen a demand for a truck, but as the fund in the fire depart- ment is always low, the purchase of a suitable truck has been impossible. When the last spportionment was made it was with the understanding that $1,300 be set aside for the purchase of a truck, When this additional plece of fire apparatus is bought It ‘s the intentlon of the council to place it at No. 1 house on Twenty- fourth street. Additional horses, harness, etc., will have to be bought, but the fire and water commiftee thinks that this can be arranged. Streets Dirty Again, It we only a few days ago that the paved streets in the business portion of the city were cleaned. Today they look as If the street force had been lald off. Mayor Koutsky says that one great trouble about keeping the downtown streets clean is the practice of storekeepers throwing sweepings into the gutters. Efforts have been made to stop this, but with little if any effect. The police are empowered by ordinance to arrest anyone found throwing broken glass or store sweepings into the gutters, but for some months past no attention has been pald to this ordinance. Another Péstponement. In speaking of the postponement of the injunction suits in the union vacating ordi- nance until November §, City Attorney Mur- dock said: “The postponement was asked for by attorneys representing Bwift and Company, and as the city had no objections to offer the case has gone over.” As It is now, it is feared that when the case is finally decided it will be too late to see any work done this year, and so the visions of a viaduct have gone glimmering again. Some say that it will be well along into the winter before the council will be able to pass the ordinance vacating stub ends of streets and making arrangements for a viaduct across the tracks Workmen Cele ht.

INSIST GOVERNMENT HAS LOST TITLE R the Other Hand Insist Land ment . Property and te Entry Usnder stead Law. The case of Alex H. Blair and others against, George D. Follmer as commis- sioner of public ‘ands and bulldings, and Charles F. Brown, treasurer of Boyd county, Neb., and George D. Follmer and Cherles ¥. Brown as Individuals, on a peti- tion for a writ of certiorarl, was before the United States circuit court Monday afternoon. M. F. Harrington and Frank N. Prout, attorney general of Nebraska, are attorneys for the plaintiffs and E. J. Mur- fin and Robert Ryan for the defendants. The case s the famous Boyd county land case wherein a number of settlers, includ- ing Alex H. Blalr, squatted on the lands known as the Fort Randall military reser- vation and, as they clalm, before the lands were surveyed and the reservation aban- doned and turned over to the state of Ne- braska. These plaintiffs claimed to hold title under the homestead laws of the United States. . Their case was heard fn the land office at O'Nelll and resulted ad- versely to them. SBubsequently the state of Nebraska, which claims title to the lands as school Jands, under the act of March 3, 1893, which transferred the lands from the general government to the state, held that the lands were held by the settlers under lease as school lands and hence George D. Follmer as commissioner of publie lands and bulldings and Charles ¥. Brown, treasurer of Boyd county as the agent of the state, and both of these par- ties as individuals have the right to de- mand and collect the lease money from the settiers for the lands, The attorneys for the defendants in the ecase clalm that the issue is simply that the settlers have the right to hold these lands under the laws of the United States against the contention of the state or any other persons whatsoever. They ask the United States court that the state may be estopped from leasing these lands, some 2,200 acres, until the question is settled, and that they are not asking rellef in the premises at all. The attorney general holds that the de- fendants are merely nominal defendants and that the state is the real defendant in the case. And that no federal question is involved in the premises, and hence the United States court has no jurisdiction in the matter. The state has not been divested of ita title to the lands. The only way the state can be divested of title is by or sale. Congress has divested the United Rhe lease | umatism “’THE PAIN KING.” States of it title to the lands by tr ferring the lands to the state of Nebraska. The application for homestead entry by the plaintift was rejected and the appeal dis- missed. They now ask the Board of Educa- tional Lands of the state to undertake to' telinquish the lands to the United States In order that they may perfect their home- stead entries, after the govermment has once been divested of all title to the lands in question. The attorney general further holds that as the state has not relinquished or alienated its title to the lands there is no cause for federal Interference in the premises £nd that there is really no case in court. By this spplication for a writ of certiorari on the part of the defendants an effort is made to hold that the state recognizes the contention that there is a federal question involved, which the attor- ney general denfes, Judge Munger has taken the case under advisement as to the question of jurisdic- tion.
