Many new beoks are coming from the
publishing houses every day now and there
Is promise, of a very prolific output before
the closltif; of the year. While there Is
about tho unual number of tranhy works
having little or no merit, the proportion of
really credl'able works seems to be greater
than usual. Although (he fall season has
but Just begun, the shelves of the book
sellers are already crowdel with new
works, or new editions of old works.
The many readers cf Harper's Magazine
who have been following with Interest the
publication as n serial of fl!lb?rt Tarker's
latest novel. "The Might Of Way." will be
pleased to learn that It Is now to be had
In book form. The story Is one difficult to
describe. The hero, Charley Steele, Is a
young Canadian lawyer of extraordinary
ability and complax character. He Is In
temperate, unsettled toward religion and
unsympathetlenlly married. After a bril
liant sticeees In court he koc to an Inn to
drink and while there ntagonD.es the
crowd, who attack him and Icnvc him for
dead. Mo Is carried awny by the man
whom he defended In court to the little vil
lage of Chaudlere and Is resuscitated Hut
his memory for several months Is entirely
gone. When ho recovers It he cannot go
bark to his home, for by o doing he would
ruin his wife, who, believing him dead, has
married again; and her brother, who, alo
believing him dead, has unjustly necueod
him of thievery committed by himself.
Faced by this terrible situation, Charley
fiteele renounces his former life and settles
down In lhe village as assistant to a poor
fanatical tailor. In the village lives the
postmaster's deeply religious daughter,
Hosalln Lvnnturel, and between her and
Charley Steele develops an attachment
which ripens Into love. He la then eon
fronted with the double fact of his love and
his previous mnrrlage bond. Who has the
right of way? Probably the ending of the
story Is the most Interesting denouement In
current fiction. Harper fc P.ros., New York.

"Men and Letterj," by Herbert Paul, Is
a collection of thirteen of the author's cs
fays, contributed to the Nineteenth Century
and other periodicals from 1833 to 1900. All
of them deal with literary subjects or lit
erary men, and, taken together, are cred
itable to the taste, discrimination and
scholarship of the writer. A, few of the
subjects discussed are of no great latercst
lo the American reader, nor ore they
treated with uniform charm and strength,
but there Is not a dull essay In the book,
or one that will not be read with satisfac
tion. Three or four of them are especially
bright and attractive, notably the one on
"The Art of Letter-writing," which Is a
continuous feast of happy conceit, some

"Tho Sign of the Prophet; A Tale of Te
cumsch nnd Tippecanoe," by James Dnll
Naylor, Is a very sprightly romance, which
has plenty of local color, and' this color en
tirely at the service of the author. The
story Is constructed upon the events of the
war of IS12, In which the great Indian chief,
Tecumteh, and allies, sought to carry out
his will and plans for the extermination of
the intruding whites and the retention of
the country by the Indians. The historical
eventt of the time are made use of and the
great figures around whom the narrative
revolves are given their high and command
ing positions as truly as In veritable his
tory, and with much more plcturcsqueness
of detail and fitrroundlngt. The author
shows good constructive ability, excellent
skill In working out his plots and effective
ness In placing his characters. The story
Is artistic and plrnsnnt. The book Is sure
of a good measure of attention. The Saal

The publication of Charles Major's new
story, "The Hears of Wire River," brings to
light something In the life of this author
one would not suspect In reading "When
Knighthood Was In Flower." Adventure
and life away from the city In which he was
born, such as a good part of soven years on
an Island after reading "Robinson Crusoe,"
has, he says, led to tho present story of
try real experiences. No kind of talo has
n firmer or more lasting grip upon tho
minds of both young and old than the "bear
story." It would be hard to find a boy who
his not shivered with breathlesa and de
licious terror over the adventure of some
hero with a "big bear." Raiser Rrcnt. the
younthful hero of tho tale, lives In Indiana
during the early '20s, when that state was a
frontier wilderness and ths woods were full
of bear, catamount nnd other "varmints."
So nalser'a life did not lack excitement nnd
tho narratlvo of his adventures from the
tlmo he could hardly hold up his fathor's
big gun makca tho most Irreslstable sort of

Prolonged Porisluii.
Tom Hoctor, at present county commis
sioner for the Fourth district, called at The
Dee office yesterday and announced that h
was in the race for mayor of South Omaha
next spring. On the streets and in the re
sells frequented Ly po.ltlclans there Is more
ulk of the April election than there is of
the coming election In November. Outside
of candidates for mayor there Is little ta.l;.
Kntor has already shied his castor Into
the ring nnd he says that he Is going In
to win. With the advent of Hoctor the
democratic forces will be split. Johnston
Is out, as he has declared to friends that
he will no longer sacrifice his business for
-Mltlcs.
This Iraves the democrats with only flvo
avowed candidates for mayor. They are:
Ensor, Hoctor, Loechtier, Ryan and Dulln.
South Omaha pccple arc acquainted w,th all
of these names, as the owners arc almost
constantly before the public seeking office
of some kind, There Is little talk about the
other elective offices as th prominent mem
bers of the democratic party all appear to
want lo be muyor. Ueorge Parks has de
clared himself as a candidate a time ur

that he Ik only Joking nnd his candidacy Is

On tho republican side A. It. Kelly. W.
P. Adklnn and Frank Koutsky are being

Oinelnla After S(iintters.
Yesterday Mayor Kelly put In a portion
of tho day looking up squatters who are
occupying portions of the city stroets and
alleys. Quite a number of complaints hivo
been received recently about squatters oc
cupying city property and It was with a
view to causing certain removals that the
mayor gave the matter his personal atten
tion. Spusmodlc efforts In this direction
havo been made before, but very little If
any good resulted. Now It devolves noon
the officials to forcibly remove certain
squatters or else they will acquire title to
the land by reason of ten years undisputed
usldcnce.
Tho mayor said that he was going to make
a thorough examination Into the matter
v.ith a view to causing tho police to re
move all squatters who refuse to lease
ground from the city.
In cases where squatters arc a nuisance
they will, the mayor says, be compelled to
move. In the event that there Is no com
plaint and no harm done and tho occupants
o! city property agree to lerse from the
city at a nominal rcntol. nrrnngemcnts of
this sort will be made. Uy the entering
Into of n lease tho squatter gives up all
right to the property upon which he Is lo
rated, and this Is Just what the city officials
desire at '.his time.
ItepulriiiK I'nveiiieiils,
When the city council authorized the an
nunl appropriation sheet, the sum of 11,710
was set aside for curb and pavement re
pairs. So for no warrants have been drawn
against this fund, although considerable)
work needs to be done in this line, L street
from Twenty-fifth to Twenty-seventh street
Is In bad shape and should bo repaired be
fore winter sets In. On the two blocks
mentioned the brick used h:ivo worn out
thus causing depressions which can at this
time bo easily repaired at slight expenso
by the replacing of the soft brick with vit
rified brie!:.
Then there Is Twenty-fourth street. Since
the repairs recently made tho east side of
the street has worn well, but holes are
numerous on tho west side. These can bj
filled and surfaced over at a small cost
unless the work Is delayed too long. Ab
there li mouey In tho fund there Is reallv
no excuse for the council permitting these
to rcmain'full of holes during the wlntor.
In oomo places the pavement on Twcntv-
fourth street Is sinking, but provision has
been made for Ailing In these depressions
v.ith broken stone. Property owners on tha
two streets mentioned are .anxious to hnve
the street department mako these needed
repairs as soon as possible.
Feed I n sr City Prisoner.
At the present tlmo it costs the city
about $55 a month for the feeding of city
prisoners. A contract Is let once a year
for this supply of provisions and some
times qulto a number of bids aro received.
For the year Just ending the bid wan !)&
cents per meal. At this rate tho monthly
till In amounted lo about $55 a month. On
nccomit of his removal from the city Con
tractor Legro has thrown up his contract
nnd tho city clerk Is now looklnif for bid
ders. Chief Mitchell says that a 10-ccnt
meal 1b not enough for prisoners who aro
compelled to work on the rockpllo nnd ho
advocates a 15-cent meal for all thosu
who are sentenced to work either on the
streets or cn tho rockpllo. Until n new
contract Is let the city will pay a local
restaurant 15 cents n meal for all pris
oners. Two meals a day arc served.
l.nyliiK Permanent Wnlkn.
Slnco tho edict went forth that permanent
walks must bo laid on Twenty-fourth street
within twenty days there Is qulto a move
ment along this line. Several stretches of
walk arc now being laid by property own
ers and preparations aro being mado by
others to comply with tho order of tho
council. Unless the ordinance la lived up to
tho city csntractor will do tho work nnd
charge tho cost up to the abutting' property.
Officers of the city assert that permanent
sidewalks must bo laid on all of tho prlncl
pal streets ab soon as possible, u too many
damago suits nro being brought on account
of defective woeden walks.
Clerk AVnnta llliln.
City Clerk Shrlgley Is advertising for bids
for the grading of E streot from Twenty
third to Twenty-fourth street. Tho plans
and specifications are on file with the city
engineer. It Is estimated that over 12,000
cubic yards of dirt will hnve to be movod
to grade this one block, nnd the estimated
cost Is $1,650, One of tho stipulations Is
that tho work must be completed within
sixty days afier tho signing of tho con
tract. All bids for this work must be ac
companied by a certified check for 1100. In
addition to this tho council reserves the
right to reject any or all bids.
