Prof. Corson of Cornell University
used to advise his friends not to wasto any
money on bookbindings. He possessed a
Jartjc collection of works covcrinR the whole
range of literature, but eVt eclally ear y
English and Anglo-skxon and 'm, 'y of tho, I
ero only stitched together at the backs I
on tho part of the rending public that led
the Harpers to put out the biographical
edition of Thackeray lam year and they are
following, it with the Haworth edition of
"Tho Ufo and Works of the Slsteis Urontc."
The edition will bo complete in seven vol
umes, of which the sixth volume, embrac
ing "The Tenant of Wlldfcll Hall" by Anno
Jlrontc, Is how at hand. It 8 n most fitting
tribute to tho genius of the fironte sisters
that at this late date, when the bookshelves
arc crowded with tho popular fiction of tho
lay, there should bo a call for ouch u
splendid million of their works.
Ilrandcr Matthews is n name to command
nttrntlon and the announcement of a new
book from hU pen, published by the Har
pers, will be received with pleasure by a
i;ood many. "Tho Action and tho Word" Is
hardly a novel In the accepted Konse, aa
thcro Is no lovemaklng and not much plot
except such as turns upon a silly woman's
temptation to exchange amateur for pro
foslonnl acting. All the characters be
long to "tho smart pet" and their sayings
nnd doings savor strongly of the mystical
four hundred.
Another volume from the same publish
ing house, but a widely different character.
Is "The Jltumyjobn How, and Other
Stories," by Owen Wlster. A good many
readers will remember Mr. Wlster's "Lin
McLean" and the Interesting episodes of
that gentleman's career. In the precnt
volume ho Again treats of western life and
Introduces nomc equally Interesting char
acters. Among tho recent publications of Harper
Jt Ilrothers aro two books that merit spe
cial attention from those readers who care
lens for Action and moro for history. "Our
Presidents ond How We Mako Them," by
A. K. McClure. Is a work that would com
mand attention by reason of tho personality
of tho author, oven If It did not possess
other nualltles. Colonel McClure has been
In touch with every national convention for
tho nam fitly years and has had a personal
acnujlntanro with nearly all the presiden
tial candidate during that period. Ilia work
contains much new and Intensely Interest
ing matter concerning tho Insldo workings
of the various campaigns, political Incidents,
quarrels, etc., togothcr with tho record of
every ballot taken In every convention. The
other book referred to at tho beginning of
this paragraph is "Ocorgo Washington, by
"Woodrow Wilson. Tho story of tho llfo of
Washington, as written by Prof. Wilson, Is
moro entertaining than any romance could

certain to rocelvo a warm wclcomo from
tho lovers of romance. It possesses all the

the same author, has proven ono of tho best

"Tho Lunatic at Largo" Is tho rather

publishers as tho two preceding. It Is by J.

It Is a very readable story and one that will
lie found qulto entertaining.

ALL THE BIG WAR HDRSES ARE LEFT OUT

1) It.
Democrats of Omaha and Douglas county I
may yet enjoy the exhilarating Influences of
scrappy primaries In tho selection of dele
gates to tho state nominating convention.
While the edict has not yet gone forth to
that effect, the many old democratic war
hoi sea who were left out in the cold by the
snap selection of a state delegation by
Colonel Moieo and his county committee
Saturday agree In declaring that there wilt
be some democratic primaries and that a del
egation selwted by the voice of tho demo
cratic voters will be sent down to Lincoln to
contest for seats with the commando of
Colonel Molse,
Just how this Is to be eflsMcd Is not yet
stated, but the Intimation Is given that a
majority of tho democratic county commit
tee will Join In calling primaries. At tho
meotlng Saturday hardly more than one
fourth of the committee was present In per
ron,, although forty-one out of the sixty-one
members were represented. Colonel Molso
and his lieutenants. Fanning. Miller and
Ounsolus, had filled their pockets with
proxies, nnd the proxy Is always a very docile
ervant to tho man with a political scheme.
It Is claimed that Chairman I. J. Dunn will
hearken to -the dictation of his Jucksonlan
brethren and call a meeting of the commit
tee to arrange a convention for the selection
of a state delegation, as his call for the
meeting of last Saturday provided only for
the selection of a congressional delegation,
but Mr. Dunn Is not Baying much about his
plans or Intentions himself.
Wnr liftmen 1'ror.vti (tut.
It l not surprising that It la promised as a
certainty that the democrats will noy etana
tor tne .Molso program when ono looks
around and discovers the many old war
horses of the party who have been In the
habit of attending perfunctorily nil demo
cratic conventions for years and havo al
ways secured recognition as a matter of
course without any special effort on their
part. Ono looks In vain over the list pro
pared by Colonel Molse for such names as
those of A. Hugh Hippie, ex-prejldent of the
Jacksonlan club; C. J. Smyth, attorney gen
eral; J. J. O Connor, member of the demo-
cratlo state committee nnd dummy lire and
poilco commissioner: J. C. Dahlman, cx
chalrman of the state committee; L?o Herd-
man, ex-secretary of the committee and
whilom lo:al boss; Will Hcrdman, hl
brother and lieutenant; E. E. Howell, ex
senator and once candidate for mayor; W.
E. Gilbert, chairman of city central com
mittee; A. N. Ferguson, late candidate for
district Judge; Bdson Rich, regent of the
university; Dr. Ensor, ex-mayor of South
Omaha; George Shields, county attorney;
John Power, sheriff; Thomas Hojtor, county
commissioner; F. A. Broadwcll, clerk of tho
district court; Frank J. Hurklcy,
city councilman; Richard O'Kccfe, for
years one of tho active work
ers; Fred Cosgrove, secretary of Jack
sonlan club, W. S. Popplcton, late candi
date for mayor; Harry Deuel, one of the
pioneers in democracy and present county
comptroller; Thomas J. Nolan, Henry Blum,
W. S. Shoemaker, Judge Duflle, John Mur

A. Connor, John D, Ware, C. L. Smith, E.
P. Berriman and a hundred others Ict prom
inent In the active work of curapalgns.
It Is noted that it Is not alono among
the adherents of the Jacksonlan organiza
tion that tho disaffection exists, although It
Is said that of the olghty-elght delegates
there are less than half a dozen from that
organization, but the county democracy
crowd Is Just as much incensed over the
culmination of the Molse program as are
tho Jacksonlans. Many of them arc Joining
In the demand for primaries and a new
deal. Vlil-Di--Ciinii Molse In Deflrint.
Meantime the Molse staff are defiant and
threaten to inflict great discomfiture upon
any delegation that shows up at Lincoln
to oppose their political enterprise in be
half of Governor Poyntcr. Charles E. Fan
ning Is fattening his notebook with the com
pilation of the records of'somo of the men
who ore kicking upon action of himself and
Molse. Furthermore he will go down to
Lincoln prepared to show that he and his
delegation stand Just where tho Bryan
delegation stood at the Chicago convention,
and that any delegation sought to be In
flicted upon tho convention by tho kickers
will find Itself In Just the condition of tho
Euclid Martin delegation at the Chicago
scrao.
"Vpr my part," says an old-tlmo Omaha
democrat, "while I feel llko protesting
against this summary method of running
democratic political affairs by machinery,
enabling committees and scheming officials
to perpetuate their power when they are no
longer wanted by tho democrats of the I
county, I cannot say that I havo much
sympathy for the kickers Just now. The
men who aro protesting loudest Just now
against this assumption of authority by tho
committees have encouraged in tho past this
very same undemocratic proceeding when
It agreed with their own Inclinations, even
though some 'democrats protested that It
was unworthy tho name of democracy and
was establishing a dangerous precedent.
When ono sees political leaders encouraging
a wrong practice In spite of protest when
it suits their plans, bo cannot feol very
sorry 10 fft'u uiu iimu tuiuu ttruuuu wuen t
they can be doped with a littlo of their own
medicine. Meantlmo I don't think Gov -
emor Poyntcr Is gaining any strength In
Omaha by this high-handed proceeding on
the part of
his ofllce-bolding supporters
here.

HALF FARES FOR VETERANS
ChlcnH" I'rran Iilnpn toll Snjn the Old
!vilillrrn May He Clx-ii
I,ow Itnten.
An Associated Press dispatch from Chi
cago states that veterans of tho civil war,
union and confederate, may soon ba able to
travel In Western Passenger association ter
ritory for half fare. After considerable quiet
acltatlon on tho subject, the ennrullvn ram.
mlttee of tbo association, which rcpresenis i
..... - '
anoui in rtv or t ie b e raiiwav hi nhh nr
tho west, has decided to consider nt He
meeting Thursday a proposition to grant a
permanent half fare rate to tho war veter
ans. Men who are back of tbo move believe
that if favorable action Is taken tho cxamplo
will bo followed by other associations, and '
eventually otd soldiers will have reduced
rates over every line of railway In the
country.
Relative to thin matter a general pass
enger ofllclal of one of the leading Omaha
roads states: "I do not believe that a rec
ommendation to such effect, should ono be
Introduced before the Western Passenger as
sociation, would be received with favor.
Tho railroads make liberal concessions to
the old soldiers now, but to give them at
all times tho privilege of a half-fare permit
seems to mo wholly out of tho question.
At present any old soldier enroute to a
soldiers' homo, and this class usually repre
sents the most needy and feeble of the
army veterans, Is entitled to a rate of 1
cent per mile on all railroads. I do not
think that tho Western Passenger associa
tion nor any other asso;latlon will over
agrco upon tho application of any greater
concessions to the old soldiers."

Harry E. Moorcs, city passenger agent of
tho Omaha & St. Louis, has returned fiom
a pleasure trip to Now York, which was
made by a party of western pawenger men
on the invitation of General Passenger Agent
Lee of tho Lehigh Valley route. "From Buf

trip was cne filled with Interesting incidents.
Frequent stops wcro made at points of in

A special train will leave Topeka, Kan.,

The train will be mado up of twenty o,

n Condition of the llnuil.
Sensational depositions on tho part of
plaintiff and defendant have been tiled in
tho case of tho Phoenix Insurance company
of Brooklyn, N. Y., against the Guaranty
Company of North America. Tho principal
witness for the defendant Is Fred S. Kelly.
It will be remembered that when Kelly
was arrested In San Francisco last winter
ho was taken to Chicago. Whllo thcro in
February, 1900. his deposition was secured.
In this ho says that he was employed by
the company ns cashier for three years, nnd
that during tho last half of that time his
salary account was overdrawn; that not
only his, but tho salary account cf every
other employe of the state ngency was
overdrawn during the same period, from II.
B. Oorytell, the manager, to the stenogra
pher In tho offlco.
lie further testifies that he had charge of
tho personal account of II. B. Corvell at tbo
ban,- and during that time this account was

that whenever this condition
existed tho bank would send Mr. Coryell a
statement, and that he (Kelly) would draw
a clic-k on tho account of the Insurance
company, which would be deposited to the
account of Mr. Coryell; that by reason of
thlB bolh lIlf salar' account and tho bank
account of the manager would at times ha
overdrawn.
Kelly further swears that he was the per
sonal and social friend of H. B. Coryell, tbo
manager, and had been with him on festlvo
occasions In Omaha nnd Chicago; that by
reason of his association he spent more
money than he was earning and that he
thus became Indebltd to the company.
The Jury was selected at 10 o'clock and the
trial of the case Id In progrets. A motion
ihas bwn made b thf Plnlntlff to supprmt
tho deposition of Kelly for tho reason that
he refused to be crcxis-examlned, alleging
thathe facts produced might be used against
him In tho criminal suit in the Douglas
county district court, Kelly has given bond
in that case nnd has left the city, taking a
train for tho west.
The present case grows out of the defalca
tion of Fred S. Kelly while cashier of the
Nebraska ofllec of tho Phoenix Insurance
company. In the petition It Is alleged that the
guaranty company signed the bond of
Kelly in the amount of $5,000 and that for
three years, from 1SP5 to 1808, on Mny 27,
the bond was renewed; that on April 2,
ISPS. Kelly was found to be short In his
accounts In the sum of $5,123.S! and that a
demand for payment on tho bond, accom
panied with an itemized statement of the
shortage, was sent to tho company, which
hart failed to pay the amount.
In answer the guaranty company sets up
that the Insurance company cannot recover
the amount of the bond, for the reason that
It returned false answers to the statement
required by the guaranty company as a
condition precedtnt to the bond and that
It conducted the affairs of the office In a
taanner different from that set out In the
application. Specifically tho answer says
that H. B. Coryell, agent for the company,
veil knew that Kelly wes addicted to spec
ulation and gambling and waB Irregular In
hlihablts when thenppllcatlon of the company
says that such fact was not known; that
tho company tald In the application that no
money would be Issued upon the check of
Kelly unless countersigned by another per
son, wheu In fact money was drawn by
Kelly with no other signature; that the ap
plication said that a monthly statement
would be sent by the bookkeeper of the
company I each of Its customers, when In
fact the statements were sent by Kelly
who altered them to concenl his pecula
tions. HOIIIIK!) OK HIS -tOOII AJIK,

The caso of William F. Bechel agalnt
! the p ,flc KxprKH company is attracting
more Jhn ordmy npention in Judge
Kejbor's court. Bechel was formerly an
en.ployo of the defendant company. He was
accused of embezzliimcnt and was subjected
to trial In tho courts. A Jury declared him
not guilty.
In his suit against the express company
he asks for $!0,oBo damages. The ptlt!ou
recites a story of humiliation and damage
to personal character. Tho general trond
of tho plaintiff testimony Is that while Mr.
Rechel was not guilty, he was frowned upon
by erstwhile friends and that there was no
Just provocation for his arrest. Tho plc.i
of Bechel Is based on his acquittal at the
time of his trial.

A delegation of nortbsldcrs appeared before
the Board of Park Commissioners yeiterday
afternoon with strong arguments for the
conversion of the Bluff tract into a park
and roadway. The matter has been agi
tated by north end clubs for several months
and the sentiment of property owners Inter
ested has been canvassed by a special com
mittee mado up of A. K Kerguson, George
V. Holbrook and Joseph Iledman. The
committee will bring to bear a petition con
taining several hundred names nnd repre
senting almost all of tho property which
must bear the expense In case tho property
Is condemned for park purposes.
Tho showing which the committee Is ablo
to make Is one with which the park board
has expressed Itself entirely satisfied. The
members say that their desire Is to carry
out the wishes of tho property-owners so
far as they are clearly expressed, and the
petition will bo sufficient to set nt rest any
misgiving at to rof.Mb'o protest. The ex
pected course of the board will ho to rec
ommend to the council that the property be
condemned and that appraisers be ap
pointed to assess its value.
A plat of the Bluff tract showing the dis
trict proposed to be converted Into a park
and loulevard has been prepared by Englcee
Charles G. Cafjicntcr of the Park
beard. In order that the least ex
pensive property may be taken, nono
of the frontage on Sherman acnue Is touched
by the proposed reserve 'Entering at Wirt
street the new boulevard will extend east
ward to the brink of the slope overhanging
the railroad tracks. It will then run north
at varying widths until the old north viaduct
at the rite of the exposition engine house H
reached. This will afford a speedway cf an
even half-mile north and south. At the
crossing of the former south viaduct there
will be a third entrance which will connect
with the Nineteenth street boulevard when
tho Kountze reserve Is Improved. In tho
center tho bluff boulevard will swell Into
the dimensions of a rrspcctAble park and
tho double colonnade of trees extending to
tho horticultural building site will be pre
served. The lily pond which formerly s'.ood
at the door of the horticultural building
will also remain Intact.
Engineer Canpentor has prepared his plat
on an estimated cost of not more than tEO.COO,
tho 'maximum amount which the council
rcay spend on public improvements without
a vote of the 'people. The heaviest land
owner In the vicinity Is Herman Kountzo,
who holds the title to several blocks of prop
erty directly west. Judge Kerguson haa an
assurance from Mr. Kountze that there will
be no remonstrance even though his In
dividual assessment should reach 11.600. It
will bo impossible to levy any tax to tho
east, as the raltroad companies and others
