For years students of ethnology havo been striving to solvo the many Interest ing problems connected with the native races of America. Major J. W. Powell, founder of the bureau of ethnology at Washington, has taken nn active part In theso Investigations and has gathered about lilm n group of thorough and enthusiastic students, whoso reports havo been em bodied In the publications of tho Smith sonian Institution. Other students havo published tho results of their researches Independently and wo havo tho valuable vorks of Parkman, Ilrlnton, Wlnsor. Han dellcr, l'utnam, Morgan. Schoolcraft, Pros iott. Mntidsley, (Inodman, Wilson, Keane, llancroft and others. A new and preten tious work has now born brought out by 1'rrderli'k S. Dellenbiittgh, entitled "The North Americans of Yesterday." llelng tho latest work hnvlng to do with the native races of America, their language and ad vancement In the various arts, It Is nntur nlly the most complete, embodying as It does tho results of the very latest discov eries. Tho work Is most comprehensively written, tho author having been most fortu- nato In tho general arrangement of the vnrloitH subdivisions of his subject. At the beginning he tells us something nbnut the language and dialects of tho aborigines and from that the railer Is given n general Idea of tho extent to which picture writing nnd sign language was employed, either to con vey Ideas or preserve them. Following up tho course of development along this line tho reader Is Introduced to tho mnro highly developed system of writing In use among tho natives of Mexico and Central America. Tho author then takes up in their natural order the vnrlcd arts known to tho abori gines, such as the making of pottery, weav ing, carving, sculpture, construction of dwellings, tho manufacture of weapons, armor and other Implements. In the last flvo or six chapters of tho volume the nil tlior tells a great deal of Interest bearing on tho customs, myths, organization and government and nil that Is known of the origins, migrations and history of the nn tlvo American races. Altogether It makes a volume of 485 pages. The text Is helped out In a great degree by tho largo number of Illustrations. It Is a work that every reader taking tho slightest Interest In eth nological or archaeological subjects ought to read. (I. l'. rutnam's Sons, Now York. Alexander Francis Chamberlain, lecturer on anthropology In Clark university, Wor cester, Mass., has written a volume of great scientific vnluo entitled, "Tho Child: A Study In tho Evolution of Man." Tho nu thor has apparently made an exhaustive study of his subject and has embraced within tho GOO pages of his book practically everything bearing upon It. In his preface ho disclaims having written u treatise on cn.bryology or on essay on anatomy, but rather a study of the child In the light of the literature of evolution, IIo explains his aim as an attempt to record and, If possible, Interpret, some of the most In teresting and Important phenomena of hu man beginnings In tho Individual nnd In tho raco. While, possibly a llttlo too sci entific for popular rending, the volumo b, nevertheless, filled with most Interesting matter that will bo readily understood even by tho non-Bclentlflc reador. A great many matters pertaining to child character and development, which lire frequently brought to tho attention of teachers and parents, will bo readily understood after a perusal of this volume. In fact, it is n question f every ono having chargo of children, especially teachers In public nclools, ought not, as a matter of duty, to read this book, which would glvo thera a better Insight into the underlying causes of certain mental characteristics of those In their charge. It might be added that tho present volumo forms ono of tho con temporary science series which contains n largo number of volumes of tho very greatest value to all such as havo any dCHlre to keep themselves Informed regard ing progress In tho various branches of science.

Table speculation ns to tho manner In which tho city will l,e divided Into wards. Councilman Johnston Is nn advocate of the six ward plan, with ono councilman to ench ward and In furtherance of his plan he has secured the nppo.ntmeut of a committee to redlstrlct tho city and report to the council when tho work Is completed. This committee Is composed of Members Adklns, Johnston, Fltlo and Martin. Johnston asserts that tho work will take at least two weeks, as ho proposes that thu wards he cut so as to contain not more than 400 voters In each precinct, nnd hu figures two voting pre cincts to each of tho proposed six wards. In order to properly attain tho result, Mr. Johnston asserts that tho registration books will have to be gono over In order to de termine the exact boundary lines. The re publican members of ihc council are suspi cious of Johnston nnd arc Inclined to think that thero Is too much poll les In his propo sition. As nearly everyone knows Johnston is a candidate for mayor in enso an election Is to be held this year nnd It is thought that ho wants to divide the wards so as to glvo every ward u democratic majority. Councilman Tralnor objects to tho six ward plan and also to allowing Johnston to man ipulate the redisricting deal. IIo thinks that five wards will bo enough, with two councllmcn from each ward, or five elected from wards and live nt large, making ten members of tho council. Johnston opposes Tralnor on his plan and sets up tho o onomy plcn. Ho thinks that tho city can get along with six councllmcn nnd puve money, averring that thero Is no necessity for having ten representatives, when six can dd tho work Just as well. Sentiment seems to bo divided regarding tho boundary lines. Thoso who favor tho flvo ward plan, suggest that Twenty-third street is tho logical dividing line, princi pally from point of popula Icn. The eastern part of tho city Is growing rapidly, while there Is llttlo room to expand on the west. Somo favor Twenty-fourth street, but a majority appear to think that Twenty-third street will mako the best dividing line. The terms of Councllmen Clifton, Fltlo, Johnston and Tralnor oxplro In tho spring. Johnston Is on avowed candldute for mnyor and will hardly enter tho councllmanlc raco. Fltlo Iiob a llrst-class position In Lincoln nnd will not be n candidate for re election, Clifton was appointed to serve out tho unexpired term of Mayor Kelly and ns ho has made a good record ho can doubt less bo re-elected. Tralnor would llko to mnko tho raco for mayor, but If ho sees that ho cannot secure tho nomination no will, moro than likely, be renominated for tho position ho now holds. In addition to Johnston as democratic candidates for mnyor, thero aro Hoctor, Ilulla, Parks and Hnsor. All aro politicians nnd havo commenced erecting fences for tho nomination. In enso thero Ib n chango In the charter. Parks and n numbor of his friends aro now In Lincoln, boosting for the charter and urging that tho bill be bo changed ns to require an election In the spring. Quite a number of democratic politicians are seek ing nominations for the council, among tho mcst prominent being Henry Mies, who served a term or two as a representative of tha Second ward.

Isaac Noyce spoke In favor of granting tho frnnrhlso In Its present form, without Plnclns any unnecessary restrictions upon t,lc company. He said as long ns the people t'10 Proposed routo desired tho road no one else should object to It. Tho county. nls P-nlon. had no right to chargo any royalty for tho rights granted, as tho oper ation of such a railway would bo n con venience for tho people nnd n general ben efit to the county. O. A. Wolcott unld tho farmers wanted the road built and ho did not believe tho city people ought to put nny nbstnclcs In tho way of the enterprise.

"1 don't want to bo understood." said he, "as being In oppo sition to the construction of this or nny other Buburbnn railway. Within n few years such roads nro sure to be built In this vicinity, regardless of tho efforts being put forth by nny of tho gentlemen In this room. Capltnl Is going to scok Investments of this kind In this field In the near future, and trnnchlses will not have to go begging. Tho gentlemen who aro now asking for n franchise confess thnt they havo no money to build tho road and they simply want tho county to vnto them n franchise to specu late upon. When n franchise Is granted for tho construction of this or nny other rail road It should protect tho Interests of tho people whose property Is to be taken for prlvnlo use. Maximum rates on freight nnd passenger tralllo should ho fixed In the contract nnd the county commissioners should rcscrvo to themselves the right to regulnto tho rates In protection of tho shippers."
