The absorbing topic in railroad circles
continues to be the defeat of the great
railroad merger deal of Magnate Hill of
the Northern Pacific While the game
is not out until it has been finally played
out in the U S supremo court the ad
verso decision of the federal circuit court
is encouraging and convoys to some
minds the assurance that there is still a
God in Israel
James J IIili seems to bo having all
colors of fun with the people of Ne
braska more especially Lincoln and
Omaha these spring days removing
headquarters to Chicago and the like
but if he will articulate his good right
auricle with our virgin soil ho will hear
rumblings which will before many vernal
equinoxes make the old grange and
anti monopoly movement resemble a
mutilated kroner Jim seems to be try
ing to determine just how much the
people will stand for

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Within the last week a number of
bound volumes of magazines have been
added to the library Tho magazines
contain much of what is best in the liter
ature of tho period of their publication
What a pleasure it must have been to
read tho stories of Dickens Thackory
and Elliott which have since become
classics as they appeared serially in tho
periodicals of tho time Even of recent
years many works that have enjoyed
wide popularity have first seen light in
tho pages of tho magazines Those who
have been privileged to road them in in
stallments have derived a- keener pleas
ure from their perusal than have those
who waited for the bound volumes They
have had tho further satisfaction which
wero recompense for inability to read
cqnsecutively of being among the earli
est readers superior because of the dis
tinction that knowledgo confers More
fascinating than a new magazine is an
old one To renew ones acquaintance
with the old pictures and the old stories
is likd meeting old friends and talking
over old times and to read tho old stories
for the first timo in the form in vhich
they originally appeared how much
moro interesting they seem read so than
in what is called by the publishers their
permanent aspect Lovers of old maga
zines will find several shelves full of de
light as recent accessions to tho library
Among tho books of a more serious
character to which tho magazines have
given space is Miss Ida M Tarbells
Life of Lincoln which appeared in Mc
Clures a few years ago In all the vast
volume that has been written of Lincoln
Miss Tarbells Life occupies a unique
position She gathered her material ex
clusively from original sources She
visited the scenes of Lincolns early
struggles and saw and talked with all
those who know him before he had at
tained the high oflice he occupied at the
time of his death Her book is anec
dotal in character and has a human in
terest possessed by no other biography
of the great man of whom she writes
Indeed except for the bare skeleton of
the Life the facts that sho records are
not found elsewhere in accessiblo form
When one has read the work he feels
that he has an intimate and personal ac
quaintance with the man As the chief
interest to children in a fairy tale is the
conviction that it is true so to their
elders this story of Lincoln is moro fas
cinating than fiction not only because
of tho manner in which it is told but
for the further and better reason that
the incidents written of actually occur
red Miss Tarbells Lincoln is a book
for both old and young This most en
tertaining and valuable book is now
available to the patrons of the library
who desire to read it
