New books of more than passing Interest '
bavo been coming from tho leading pub
lishing houses In large numbers during tho
last few days, the most of them works of
fiction. A person must needs bo hard to
suit who can not And something pleasing
among the current publications.
All of the vigor and charm of Bret
Hartc's earlier work cling to the half
score of stories which make up a neat little
volume entitled "Under the Redwoods."
The appeal Is direct to all that Is human In
the reader. There Is no dreary phllosophli
Ing, no tiresome analysis of motives, nor
any appeal to the sentimental side. The
stories are pages from the lives of people
whom the author has known and lived
among, frontiersmen and miners folk with
red blood In their veins, with strong hu
man passions, yet possessing all tho sim
plicity and guile of great-hearted children
of nature. "How Reuben Allen Saw 1.1 fe
In San Francisco" carries us Into the heart
of the old life on the coast, and In the
"Three Vagabonds of. Trinidad" and "A
Widow of Santa Ana Valley" we have other
and vivid gltmpses of to5 days that have
passed away forever. In "A Vision of the
Fountain" there Is exquisite humor, and In
"Bohemian Days In San Francisco" the
author grows charmingly reminiscent of the
days of real llfo at the Golden Gate. No
volume among the season's offerings Is
worth a heartier welcomo than this. Bret
Harte still holds his. own as one of the
most entertaining writers of short tales
living. Possessed of unfailing Invention
and retaining that fresh charm which made
his first work famous, he Is able to hold his
large audience, both In this country and In
England. Houghton, Mifflin &. Co., Boston.

Zola's latest novel, which Is entitled
"Moor," has been appearing In an abridged
form In Harper's Weekly and has lust been
published In Its complete form by Messrs.
Harper & Bros. In this novel, as the title
would suggest, Zola treats of the relations
existing between tho workman and the
capitalist, and he ventures to make certain
predictions concerning the future of both.
Yet Zola ts not a dreamer. He Is an un
compromising realist, and for this reason
his forecast of tho coming Industrial era,
based on broad facts of observation and
free from Utopian fancies, should attract
the attention, as It deserves the careful
study of Industrialists and political econo
mists. The romance of the story Is un
usually strong ajd absorbing for Zola and
serves as a buoyant current on which to
carry the doctrines which the novel Is
Intended to teach. Harper & Bros., New
York. Price, 1.50.
"Etldorhpa," tho strange history of a
mysterious being and the account of a
remarkable Journey, was written by the
author for bis own amusement and first
Issued as a privately printed book. 1
proved a revelation to thoso who knew
him, for few Imagined that this thinker,
long trained to modern critical methods
In the field of scientific research, was a
profound i-tudent of psychology. It is a
creation quite outside of ordinary fiction.
Even as a novel It Is unique. If, ns somo
hold, It contains more truth than fiction,
Its truths are of a kind not credited by
the majority: It it is romance pure and
simple, It evinces a remarkably vivid
Imagination on the part of the author. It
became so much in demand that It was
reprinted at a high price, and in that
form has passed through many editions.
It is bow for the first time published In a
popular form, and the author has taken
the opportunity to revise the book from be
ginning to end and has restored several
chapters which were omitted when It was
first printed. The success of "Strlngtown,"
Mr. Lloyd's recent novel, should attract
renewed attention to Etldorhpa. Dodd,
Mead & Co., New York.
"On Peter's Island," by Arthur R. Ropes
and Mary E. Ropes, Is a creditably told
Russian story by writers familiar, through
personal contact, with official and popular
life In St. Petersburg and other northern
cities of the empire. As the tale was de
signed and outlined nearly twenty years
ago, and, despite conditions as they ex
isted in the early years of tho reign of
Alexander III, the authors deem It proper
to explain that Important political and In
dustrial changes have occurred since that
time, and that the Russian they describe
In these respects ts the Russia of the past.
Two or three Americans figure prominently
In the. story, and love. Intrigue and th
undercurrents of secret political societies
are all factors in the working out of an
exceptionally elaborate plot. Ono pc
cullarlty of the story Is that the Russian
masses are credited with more average In
telligence than Is usually accorded by writ'
crs of Russian fiction. Charles Scrlbncr's
Sons, New York. Price $1.60.
Guy Boothby Is well known to the read
ers of fiction from the long list of popular
novels of which he is tho author. Among
tho number of his published works might
be mentioned "My Indian Queen," "A
Maker of Nations," "Dr. Nikola's Experi
ment," "Pharos the Egyptian," and others
A fresh story Is now added to the list en
titled "The Mystery of the Clasped Hand,
which Is to say the least an entertaining
story that no reader will be willing to re
Unqutsh until the mystery Is solved. Mr.
Boothby Is a master of suspended Interest
and tho development of his exciting story
to its climax forms a most thrilling
Illustration of the possibilities of romance
In moJcrn life. Like others of his works,
the present volume Is brought out as a part

"Hallle Marshall," by F. P. Williams, Is
the story of a man who, wholly against his
volition, deserts his family and home. The
people by whom he finds himself surrounded
seem to have entered Into a conspiracy tu

memory. At first he struggles against this,
but gradually he yields more and more to

It las always been remarked that west
ern people are strongly Inclined to travel
westward when taking their holiday out
ings. There seems to be an unquenchable
desire among people who have once turned
their faces westward to continue in that
direction. This year It Is expected that
thero will be a general "about-face," and
that the' tide of summer holiday travel will
be eastward on account of the Buffalo ex
position. That being the case, "The
Niagara Book." by W. D. Howells, Mark
Twain, Prof. Nathaniel S. Sbalcr and
others, which has Just been brought out in
a new and revised edition, may be re
garded as most timely. Besides contain
ing descriptions of the falls and river, there
is a vast amount of information such as
tho tourist and vlBltor will be especially
Interested In. It Is not only a notable
work frcm a literary standpoint, but it
is the onty guide to Niagara of any im
portance. The writers have treated their
subject from all points of view, humorously,
seriously, scientifically and historically, no
aspect being forgotten or omitted. Tho
book contains thirty-two full-pago Illus

The special train over the Fremont, Elk-
horn &. Missouri Valley railroad bearing'
the Omaha trade excursionists arrived In
Omaha at 7 30 o'clock Thursday evening,
having accomplished Its two days' trip.
From the standpoint of the Omaha Jobber
the trip was one of the most successful
ever made by tho business men of the city,
and the reception tendered them showed
that the popularity of Omaha Is growing In
the southeastern part of the state In a
way which promises to give this city the
exclusive trade of the surrounding country.
Tho second day found the party at
Hastings, where from 7 o'clock until 9
the retail dealers of the city were vis
ited and the trade was "shown" that
Omaha Is In a position to make as good
bargains to. Its customers as any town on
the Missouri river. Tho first stop out of
Hastings was at Inland. This Is a small
town, but the people were ready for the
party, and they Introduced a novelty which
was appreciated by the excursionists. In
lieu of business cards each retail dealer
woro upon his coat a badge announcing
the line of business he represented, so
that there was no occasion for a grocer
undertaking to talk business with a furni
ture dealer. Lemonade and other refresh
mcnts were provided in abundance and the
school children marched In parade before
the depot. Rev. E. F. Trefz made a short
talk, his remarks being mainly addressed to
the children.
Tnkr n Drlto nt llnrmril.
At Harvard the party was greeted by a
band and placed In carriages, being driven
over one of the most beautiful of tho in
land towns of Nebraska. Harvard Is Justly
proud of Its excellent school system and
beautiful streets, and the Omaha party waa
deeply Impressed with the efforts being
made to constantly Improve these features
of the municipality.
After visiting the merchants of Eldorado
and Stockham, who turned cut to a man
to meet the Jobbers, but made no special
effort at tendering a formal reception, the
party reached Henderson, where a reception
committee from York boarded the train,
carrying small bottles filled with the York
county wheat which took first premium
at the Transmlsslsslppl exposition. These
bottles were attached to the coats of the
visitors. At Henderson and Charleston
tho party was received cordially, but In
formally, and visited the different lines of
trado represented.
Arriving at York, the entire business
community greeted the visitors, and, under
the leadership of A. F. Bloomer, took them
to a hotel, where an Informal reception was
held. The committees had made prepara
tion for a rldo over the city, but a heavy
rain made the streets so muddy that the
project was abandoned.
Thayer was reached at 1.15 and Gresham
at 1:33. In both places the reception to
the excursionists were cordial and the
merchants seemed to be prosperous.
Ilu? Ilnnit 1'nlform.
Surprise was the next station where the
train stopped. The entire population, men,
women and children, were on hand to greet
the party and an excellent cornet band fur
nished music. One of the unique features
of this reception was the presence In the
band of Clyde T. Keebaugh, aged 0 wears,
and Arthur Greensllt, aged 11, Tho work
of these young musicians so pleased tho
Omaha men that a collection aggregating
$15 was taken up to equip them with band
uniforms, and the band was carried by the
party to Linwood. At Mlllerton no public
demonstration was made, but this was mora
than made up in the warmth of the per
sonal reception to tho members of the
party.
At David City, the county seat of Butler
county, the Surprise band announced the
coming of the train and the business com
munity, under the management of C. H.
Aldrlch, mayor, turned out to welcome the
visitors. At thlb place the business men
woro badges announcing the line of trade
represented by them and no time was lost
in getting acquainted. At Octavla no
demonstration was made, but the party was
well received by the merchants. At Lin
wood school children greeted the Omaha
representatives and received an address
from the speaker of the party. Morse
Bluffs turned out en masse to receive the
excursionists and supplied them with light
luncheon, Including lemonade. The stop at
this point was shortened so as to permit
the arrival of the party at Fremont In time
to accept the hospitality of the Knights
of St. Ecb Ragus.
Illjf Fete at Fremont.
The reception at Fremont was tho most
elaborate of any on tho trip. Tho train
arrived about 5:30 o'clock and found car
riages enough to carry the en'.lre party over
tho city. While the party was driven
through the shady streets, a committee
was at work at the Masonic temple, where,
at 6 o'clock the visitors were taken, Here
a complete banquet was spread, the pro
visions being ample In every respect. J.
M. Cleland, representing the Knights of SU
Eeb Ragus, delivered a short address, In
which he told of the admiration of the
buslneta men of Fremont for those of Omaha
and said that, while Omaha fc't that It
needed Nebraska for Its business prosper
ity, Fremont recognized that Nebraska
needed Omaha fully as much. On behalf of
Omaha Rev. E. F. Trefz responded, In
appropriate words expressing the feelings
of amity between the two cities.
While the train was going from Fremont
to Omaha the members of the party In a
resolution signed by everyone on board
the train, expressed their high regard for
the railroad reprsentatlves who upon the
trip bad done so much for the convenience
and comfort of the excursionists,

"In which play do you like MansiMd bet
ter?" How is ono to answer this question? Can
you say that you admire otie ralnb.ow more
than another? As you watch the fountain
play does one of the glistening Jets sparkle
with a radiance above another? Can you
think of one calm starry night and way
It is more beautiful than any? These are
easy In comparison to choosing which of tho
Mansfield characters we are most to ad
mire. From Baron Chevrlal to Cyrano de
Bergerac Is a long way, and so it is from
Beau Brummel to Henry V. Between we
meet Shylock, Richard HI, and a host of
others whose names are needless to read,
but who have lived for us under the magic
touch of Mansfield. And Mansfield does all
things well. He docs not aim merely at
satisfying the people. He seeks to educate
them. No matter what the critics say. or
the public, Mansfield is only content when
his production Is up to the Mansfield Ideal,
His aim Is high, and even though he may
not realize all he desires, his effort rarely
falls short of being better than another
would have achieved. So he stands unique
today and almost alone In that be ts an
actor to whom the accumulation of shekels
Is a secondary consideration. He values
money solely as a means to an end. With
out it he cannot do the great things In the
way of dramatic achievement he alms at.
The results? Elevation of public taste;
broadening of public thought; deepening of
publtc knowledge. For example, last
night's play. It matters not hew familiar
we might have been with the wonderful
story of Aglncourt, none of us saw the pic
tures presented on the stage without getting
a clearer notion than we ever had of the
actual conditions of that day. The scenes at
London bridge told us far more of the Joy
of England at gallant Harry's return thin
all the cold history we might read In a life
time. This ts Mansfield's mission.
Mansfield as "King Henry V" at Boyd's
theater Thursday night was undeniably the
dramatic climax and moat brilliant success
of the season about to close.
Shakespeare's play, the greatest of his
torical spectacles, in conjunction with
Mansfield, the most Intellectual and tal
ented actor on the American stage today,
must be recorded as an event In compari
son with which ordinary stago declarations
sink Into insignificance.
It Is indeed difficult at the close of such
an Inspiring performance, with the ap
plause of a great audience, the greatest
that has assembled in a theater in Omaha
In years, ringing in one's cars and Instant
memories of splendid pomp and magnificent
tableaux crowding one's brain and the
limited amount of time that is at the dis
posal of the critic, to write a review that
can possibly convey to thoso not present
at last-night's performance any idea of Its
grandeur. Certainly we have seen nothing
to compare with It in regal splendor In the
line of a theatrical attraction In past years
and probably will not again for years to
come.
It Is a production magnificent In detail,
complete In perspective, environment and
finish, and vitalized by Impassioned acting.
It Is doubtful If any In the vast audience
fully realized the classic significance of this
great Shakespearean revival, although it Is
admitted that all seemed deeply Impressed
and were warmly enthusiastic.
With the love of the bard still latent In
the American bosom this imposing pro
duction must fan It Into a flame. Yet If
nothing but ashes of an old love remain.
It roust be many a day before an actor will
risk a fortune in the service of art as Mr.
Mansfield has done In this instanco. There
fore to those who did not see last night's
performance the opportunity of a lifetime
has been lost.
There seems to have been a belief that
Mr. Booth could alone declaim Shakes
peare's lines and that tho art died with
him. Many believed that Mr. Mansfield did
not possess that nrt. Cyrano, with Us
limpid declamation, partly cleared up that
fallacy, and last night after the St. Crispin,
"god of battles." and other speeches, there
no longer remained any doubt that Mans
field possesses the soul of a poef and also
the art of forcible, elegant and magnetic
expression which belongs only to the
tragedian of the highest rank. If there

An audience composed ot the representa
tive class assisted Mr. Mansfield In this
new attempt to give Shakespeare, an appro
priate place onco more upon our stage
"Henry V" was not familiar enough to any
of them so that they felt entirely sure of
their ground. There was no little differ
ence at the outset In the matter ot assert
ing their convictions. Such a pageant, with
Its constantly changing scenes and multi
farious and dazzling tableaux, seemed quite
out of their reckoning of Shakespeare's
more familiar manner, and possibly they
could scarctly reconcile themselves to
classic dramas Illustrated with such a pro
fusion of pictures. Yet It was not long be
fore the fascination of Henry's splendid
character, expressed through such exquisite
eloquence, began to assert Itself. Not only
tho scenes but also the music of the dia
logue worked under the bar of their sense?,
and the spell which never falls when prop
erly directed began to be felt.
The pretty "Rumor" who so deftly re
cited the prelude to each net, waa warmly
accepted. thls( classic method employed in
so few plays appealing as an agreeable nov
elty. It would be quite impossible, within the
limits of this review, to refer In detail to
each of the scenes, some of them but hand
somo drops made necessary by Shakes
peare's methods ot construction, but there
were several pictures, such as the battle of
Aglncourt, the English camp at night, an
exquisite moonlight effect, the triumphal
return of King Harry and the espousal In
the cathedral ot the king to Katherine nt
Valols, which deseive special mention,
Spectacular effect culminates In the
scene representing King Henry's return to
England, There Is an Imposing procession
with banners, choir boys, dancing girls and
all the picturesque confusion of an excited
crowd, which is frequently attempted but
seldom realized on the stage. The espousal
ceremony also enlists a great company of
choristers, prelates, dignitaries and mem
bers of the court, all splendidly attired.
Costumes, tapestrleB, fabrics, armor and
accessories for these ceremonies have been
gathered from authentic sources all over
the world.
Mr. Mansfield's company Is ono recruited
without regard to expense, and therefore
for It, as for the play, there Is nothing
but words of praise.
The disappointing part of Mr. Mansfield's
engagement was that It was for the brief
duration of a single perfoimance. Next
season he promises to stay longer.

many of these sick spells kept me In bed)
oangerously ill, from three weeks to
thrt-e months, under the constant caro
of tho best physicians of Kansas City
The doctor never told me 1 had any
thing the matter of my kidneys, but I
did not know for sure.
"Some doctors pronounced my case
gall stones, and said I could not llvo
without a surgical operation, to which
I would never consent. A friend sug
gested I try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot.
1 begun to take 8wamp-Root regularly,
and when I had used only three fifty
cent bottlex, I felt fine and was able to
do moro work thon I had done In four
years. It has made a new woman of
me. I have had only one slight attack
since I began to take Swamp-Root, and
that was caused by being drenched with
rain and catching cold. Stomach trouble
had bothered me for years, and had be
come chronic. I am now kk years of age
ond feel much younger than I did ten
veare ago. I freely give this testimonial
for the benefit of those who have suf
