CHARACTER TOLD FROM THE PALMS Kannnft IMItur Wrllm a Urrrr.y llnult of 1'nhlr r n Dlntlunlly Western C'tinrncf rr- Wlint Miiuur.lui I'nlillfilirr.i Are Dolus;, A decidedly ftmuslng book and one that will bo found agreeable to any reader fond of a little harmless fun and not afraid of tip-to-dato slang Is "Tom McNeal's Fables," by T. A. Mc.S'cal, editor of the "Malt and Hrcezc." The author says: "When a new book Is spruiift on the public It Is cus tomary for the author to write a preface or Introduction, which Is supposed to nerve as an excuse for the publication. Sometimes the author pets a' Rifted and Indulgent friend to write the preface for him. This Is the reason why the preface Is ofton the best part of the publication." While that Is not true In this particular case, the author's description In his pre faco of Aesop, the man who first "started In the fable business," Is one of the fun niest thlriK In the bpok. A fair Idea of the character of thn fables may be Rained from the one entitled "The Coyote and the Crane:" "A Kansas coyote whllo dining otf the carcass of n Jackrnbblt got a splinter of bone fast In his throat and, srclnR a sandhill crane fishing uear by, ran to It, saying: 'My friend, you seem to bo mighty handy with that nock of yours, t wish you would bu kind enough to fish that piece of bono out of my throat.' But Instead of complying with the request the crane slowly-closed one optic ns It pre pared to make a dive for another fish and said: 'I would have ypu understand, you sharp-nosed chicken thief, that 1 am no Hcuben. I was out hero In Kansas during tho boom nnd learned that there are a lot of things It Is safe to keep out of. You will have lo ask some tenderfoot to pull that bono for you or elsu manage to cough It up yourself.' MoralIt Is the part of wisdom not to put yourself In the power of a scoundrel." Most of the fables con tain specially good hits on various topics and aro of n decidedly western flavor. The book Is nleoly gotten up. tho Illustrations by Albert T. Held adding no little value. Crano & Co., Topeka, Kan. "City Hoys In the. Country; or, Howard and Weston at Hertford" Is the title of a book by Clinton Osgood Hurling, whleh will bo read with keen Interest by every boy who loves nature nnd iruintry life, nor will it fall to hold the attention of more maturo uilnds by recalling many n boyish prank and experience. It contains, too, quite n fund of Information about lake ami stream fishing, making of traps nnd hunt ing small animals. The habits and haunts of many of our North American birds are interestingly described, as well as sov rral thrilling stories of the sea. The book Is handsomely illustrated by Alice I., vlfp ton, besides having the photographs of both Howard and Weston .Sharp. It is well printed and attractively bound In cloth, Tho Abbey Tress, publishers, New York. Trice, 11.

Hut BEAUTY OF PARRS REVEALED Oitj and County Officials Make Fleas&nt Tour of Inspection. RIVERVIEW ANIMAL SHOW MAKES A HIT Park Commissioner ICxlilblt the lit. mil In of Their Lnliorn nnd HeceUr I lie PlniidttR ot I'niiiiellincn nnil Other Guests. A finer day than yesterday could not have been selected for a trip through the Omaha parks and the city and county officials who raado a tour of the city's breathing spots yesterday afternoon as guests of the park commissioners have only words of pralso for the changes which the board has brought about within the last twelve months. The party left the city hall shortly after 1 o'clock and It was dinner Mine before the tour of Inspection was completed. Hlvcrvlew was tho first park visited. It was entered on tho north and the party was driven through the portion of tho park which was recently purchased and thrown open to the public. After Inspecting tho Improvements which aro being made on the lake and the new sower which has Just been completed In the lower portion of the park, the visi tors were driven to the animal cages and tho deer pasture. Tho new aviary and animal cages are tho pride of the park commissioners and were a great surprlso to tho men in tho party who have not visited the park since tho new animal quarters wcro prepared. An espe cially nttrnctlvo home has been provided for tho five bears which nre confined In a large pit made of natlvo stono nnd connected vlth subterranean retreats. "Buffalo Hill," 'the finest buffalo In America, nnd his companion wcro browsing peacefully yesterday after noon In n field adjoining that In which the deer nnd antelope aro confined. Flvo young elks, which were recently sent from Yel lowstone park by tho government, occupied another pasture. Flno specimens of moun tain Hons, coyotes, badgers, porcupines and red foxes nre also to bo seen In cages of stone which have been constructed along n sldehll! with such skill that they resemble the natlvo lair of the wild beasts. l.iiMilncfilip In Admired There wcro many expressions of surprise nt the vatlcty ot landscape afforded In Illv crvicw park ami tho magnificent view of the river and surrounding country which may be had frnm the higher points. After leavlug IUvcrvlow the party dtove through Deer park and along Vinton street to tho now viaduct, which affords tho west portion of tho city a direct route to South Omaha This viaduct wns thrown open to travel only n few weeks ago nnd forms an Importnut link In tho boulevard system of the city. At Hanscom park the greenhouses were liiKiieetcd and tho visitors were shown a banann tree which bears a fine large hunch of luscious tropical fruit. For several years the park commissioners have eaten b.i nanas which were rlpcd in this greenhouse at a timo when Nebraska weather was down to the zero point. In tho pavilion at Han scom park the visitors were greeted by a cheerful log fire In the great open fireplace and lunch was served. Tho next idop was at Curtis Turner park, which has recently been gruded nnd will bo parked as soon as tho weather permits. From thoro tho party was driven to kou'.uzo park nnd was shown tho proposed park along tho Illuff tract. Commissioners 15. J. Cornish. J. II. Lynns and H. K. Palmer and Superintendent . n.

Taxpnycrs generally nro taking a grc.it deal of Interest In the synopsis of tho char ter an presented In Tho Deo of yesterday Many of the features aro being favorably commented upon, nnd taken all together, tho charter Is considered to bo n very good one. ns It specifically expresses the needs of South Omaha. Ono featuro which It la hoped will pass tho legislature without change Is tho see tlon referring to tho re-assessment of spe cial and general taxes In rases whero er rors nnd omissions havo been made In the assessment of the original tax. Should the legislature allow tho council to make a re assessment of taxes comlug under this sec tlon the credit of the city will be rnlsed and a great deal of litigation dono nway with, as well as reducing the general taxation. Hy a re-assessment tho Twenty-fourth street paving case will bo settled, as woll as other paving suits which havo been brought against the city. So many ot tbeso special taxes have been declared Illegal that unless n re-assessment Is allowed It will be necessary, more than likely, for tho cltv to'vote general Indebtedness bonds to rcdocm tho present outstanding district bonds. What Is cousldcrd another strong fea turo Is tho section prohibiting tho passage of any ordlnanco the sarao day it Is Intro duced. Then again, no franchlso ordlnanco can be rushed through under a suspension of the rules, as has been none in the past. With tho proposed chnrter, nil tho fran ehlso ordinances must lay over for one week. This Is for tho purpose of allow Character Sketch of J. Ojjden Armour. he smiled to himself, nnd, whllo keeping the , - ii i .... i-1 "... . . . ofllco hours prescribed by bis father, took things easily enough, eveh while mastering at lelsuro the details ot tho business. Tho3o who are ucurefct to tho young head of the great packing business ugree that he -V "- -o.-- introduce no startling changes In tho a((aiTa o tne company. Ho Is notoriously aVrsa t0 changes, opposed to revolutionary methods nud fearful of "scenes." Ho has ahvav8 ghowI1 n oiBposltlon to "take up" v,iih the men who assisted and advised bis father nnd to let well enough alone. Inno cent of any of the combative qualities ot his sire. It Is probable that he will never engage In thnso fierce speculative combats that scorned to delight end almost Inspire tho founder of the house. Yet withal, con ciliatory, gentle and deliberate as he Is the young president of Armour & Co. ts said to bo possessed of n spirit as stubborn and fclf-rellant au that of his father. If the power ot an untliuchlng will can make J. Ogdeti Armour as great a business man as his father was Micro Is a future as woll ns n past for the Armour family to be proud ot. He has already shown a remark It able business faculty nud a Judgment in bustno3s affairs far In excess of his years In The business associates of the father have long looked upon the son as n man of the Bame power and force. He Is a man to be reckoned with and to bo feared, for In many shrewd transactions he has displayed the same ability which riadu his father famous. 1 ing tho citizens an opportunity of examin ing Into tho merits ot the case. Further, a royalty must be paid tor nil franchise or dinances, the idea being something on tho Plan ot the existing gas franchise ordi nance. ItnllrouiU .Mny Object. "I am very much afraid," said a well known citizen yesterday, "that the rail roads will object strongly lo that section of tho new charter which authorizes tho mayor and council to order tho construc tion of viaducts ncross tracks. The prin cipal portions of this section lu'vc been copied from the Omaha charter, as that has been through the courts and has been declared legal. We fear that the corpo rations will bring pressure to bear nt Lin coln to cut out this section of our new charter, but It Is hoped that the members of tho legislature will look at the matter In the right light and allow tho section to stand as It Is. South Omaha certainly needs one more viaduct across the tracks, In order to accommodate those who havo business at the stock yards. Several peti tions have been sent to the railroad com panies Interested, asking that a viaduct be built, but no attention has been paid to the documents nnd now the people think that It Is time for steps to be taken to compel the railroads to build a bridge to accommo date the constantly Increasing travel to and from the stock yards." From Indications It Is probable that there will be n fight on the election sr six couu cllnicn at large. The republicans want ward councllmcn, while tho democrats In sist upon nn election at large. It Is stntcd that by electing councllmcn at large n bet ter class of officials will bo secured. On the other hand, the republicans assert that by choosing councllmcn at large there will be no hope of electing a republican, ns the city is naturally democratic, tl Is fully expected that some alterations wilt be made In this section when tho charter reaches Lincoln. Just prior to the closing of the charter last night the following section was added. 'Provided, that no attorney shall bo elig ible to hold any position nf profit or re muneration In such city who has or shall hereafter solicit claims of any kind or char acter against said city, or who as attorney for nny Individual, firm or corporation shall spok or attempt to Inllucncc. or who has sought or attempted to inllucncc the city council to reduce any taxes or special as sessments thnt have heretofore been levied or shall In the future be levied or nsecsscd against the property of nny such person, firm or corporation." Should this section go through It will bar out a number of attorneys, who otherwise would bo candidates for the position of city attorney, when nn election Is held. Tho completed charter consists of 200 sec tions. - VI ore Hock Arrives, Two cars of rock for the city rock pile arrived yesterday from Weeping Water. Along last summer tho city purchased two cars of rock and that was all broken up by prisoners arraigned in pnllco court for petty offenses. The rock Just nrrlved still remains on the cars and will until prisoners are sentenced to unload It. Judge King said yesterday that tho maintenance of a rock pile wns having a good effect as vaernnts did not liko the idea nf break ing rock for two or tlirco days. Tho Judgo prefers to send nn offender to the rock pile when ho call Instead of allowing him to tin Idly In Jail and bo fed without tho city getting any returns. The rock costs the city 45 cents a cubic yard and when broken Is used by tho street commissioner In repairing unpaved streets. Viaduct Lumber Arrlviim. Chief Knglnccr King of the Stock Yards company slated yesterday that tho lumber for repairs to the Q streot via duct was on the way. Ono car is hero al ready and Invoices for tho balance of tho shipment nro here. Engineer King Intends to commenco work Just as soon as nil of the lumber is here unless the weather 13 too cold. Tho bridge will be closed to street cars and teams, but ono footpath will bo kept open during tho course of re pairs. When thn repairs contemplated are completed tho brldgo will bo in tlrst-clnss shapo and will probably last a long time. One improvement to bo mado Is tho placing of tho street car tracks on n level with tho floortns.

In support of motion for a now trial In the application of Edward Itoscwatcr for ii writ of habeas corpus, I. J. Dunn has lllcd with tho district clerk an nflldavit oetlip forth a denial that tho stato objected l Mr. Hoscw liter's waiving hearing at the n: cent preliminary before Police Judge King In South Omaha. The explanation Is msdu that the state agreed to the waiving of a hearing, but claimed a light to proceed with the taking ot testimony, so that tho evidence might bo moro completo when the case comes beforo the district court. A decision of the supremo court of Penn svlvanla Is cited as a precedent for con tinuing taking thu testimony after the de fendant has waived an examination. Identically the same point was raised n few weeks ago when Mayor Kelly of South Omaha was before Judge Vlnsonhalcr on the chargn of bribery. County Attorney Shields, at whosu Instnnco Dunn hua filed the present nllldavlt, was conducting tin prosecution against the South Omaha chlcl executive and when tho attornoys for the defenso waived further examination the county nttorney Informed tht court that ho wished to continue with Ui' hearing, but admitted that ho know of nc legal way of doing so. The Judge bound tho defendant over to tho district court and tho exnmlnntlnn ceased. Attorneys versed In court procedure say that tho county at torney Is in a quandary. Kltlior he must admit that he has no ensn against Mr. KoBHwatcr nnd Is conducting the propecutlon simply for political reasons, ns Is mani festly tho truth, or he must admit n want of knowledge In allowing tho examination In tho Kelly case to terminate TRUSSES ELASTIC STOCKINGS CRUTCHES SUPPORTERS, eto, mado to order by oompotont workmen.
