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

tho present volumo forms ono of tho con

"Panama und the Sierras: A Doctor's Wan

of Panama and California by Dr. 0. Frank
I.ydston of Chicago. Tho author crossed tho
Isthmus when a boy, in company with his
parents, who wero Journeying to the Cali
fornia gold fields, and tho memory of things
seen induced him to tnko the trip again

form. The writer has quite a fund of
humor upon which he draws copiously.

Thero Is already consld. 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. Jim Wear, John ltyan,
Jack Wnlters and other old war horses aro
being talked of. Most of the talk of a
spring election conies from tho democratic
camp, tho republicans having very llttlo to

There was a public meeting at the Com
mercial club room last night to discuss
the franchise for the proposed Ouinha &
Fremont Hlectrlc railroad, but no deflnlto
action was decided upon. Tho promoters
of tho franchise wero represented by V. O.
Strlcklcr. their lawyer, tho Commercial
club by nbout n half dozen members of the
executive committee, the county eomrals
slcners by Messrs. Hnrte, Ostrom and Hoc
tor and their special counsel, A. W. Jcfferls,
and the tanners by Isaac Noycs, O. A.
Wolcott and James Walsh. John O. Yelscr
was also present.
J. F. Carpenter, who was mudo chairman
of tho meeting, called upon V. O. Strlcklcr
to start the discussion, nnd he sought to
disarm the opposition nt the outBct by do
dipnoi in a irancniso carrying uui ....
unreasonable condition.

County Commissioner Hnrte spoke next,
stating that the members of the board were
unnnlmously In favor of tho establishment
bo recovered on account of Injuries caused
by tho existence nnd operation of tho rail
road, and that tho company should pay to
tho county n perceiitngo of Its gross earn-
inc. beclnnlnu In Its fifth year of opera
portnnt provisions In the original urait
hnd been changed so that tho franchlso at
present provided only for a bond of $25,000
to cover damages caused by nnd during
tho construction of tho road and for tho
payment of 24 per cent of tho gross re
ceipts after tho road had becn'ln operation
twenty years.
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. Hp believed
such a road would bo of great advantage to
the farmers In mnrkotlng their products.
VrlMi-r Voire (liiONlt Ion,
John O. Yelser wns not Invited to speak,
but he begged for tlmo In which to stata
a few objections to granting tho frnnchlso
In Its present form. "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."
J. II. Diimnnt and Ocorgo II. I'ayno ex
pressed the fientlmetu that capital waB not
on the anxious seat and Its Investment In
an enterprise of tho kind under discussion
could be Induced only by offering liberal
conditions.

James Wnlsh said tho proposed railroad,
In his opinion, would bo an Injury Instead
of a benefit to tho city and county, unless
