"Idyls of the Gass," a series of sweet
llttlo pastoral sketches by Martha Wolfen-
teln, relative to humble Ufe on Jews
treet In a German vlllago. f It tells the
atory of the simple- Ufa of these simple
people with a purity, a quaint humor and
a literary charm rarely equulled. Mar yam,
a typical mother, almost as learned as the
chief rabbi, and Bhlmmele, her grandson,
are the principal characters. Bhlmmele
Is a very precocious child, and at the age
of I years was able to chant the long grace
three words ahead of his father. This
greatly delighted his babele (grandmother),
who fondly planned he should be a chief
rabbi, and no point of his education that
would assist In his becoming so, was
neglected. Bhlmmele was a long-headed
child who did not accept everything with
out question, and often shocked his grand
mother and others by his InqulslUveness
regarding certain religious ceremonies.
When on these occasions he pressed bla
babele too hard she said: "Bhlmmele, thou
knowest. It, and I know It, and It is welL"
Then with a tolerant shrug, and a nod
Inclusive of the whole Gass, "but why
should they know It?" One time the family
entertained a beggar. As he sat sleeping
by the chimney Shlmmele tried to count
the clean spots on him and said disgustedly:
"Now I believe It, what la written, that
man Is a thing of dust. This ona Is so
full It leaks out through his skin."
For a long time all Is peaceful In the
Gass; Jews and Gentiles live as neighbors,
honoring and respecting each other, but
after a. time a fiend In the shape of an
agitator, appears. The people listen to his
rantlngs, and there springs up a wave of
Jew hatred. Reason and decency has fled.
A mob, wild and furious, In the night time
sweeps down the quiet Gush. Muryam's
home is attacked with the rest. Poor little
Bhlmmele crouched where he had hidden
all the long, dreadful night.
"If my babele were not lying there so
cold and stiff on the floor," he thought,
"she would now be at my bedside, saying:
'Shlmmele, my life, come, get up; It's time
for prayers.' " He washed and dressed
himself neatly, as he knew his grand
mother would have wished, covered his
head with his little velvet cap; took Mary
am's well-worn prayer book in his hands,
turned his face toward Zion and began his
morning prayer: "The Lord, of the uni
verse. He it la who reigned before any
being was created. Though all the uni
verse would vanish. He alone would re
main the mighty ruler. He is one. and
there Is none beside. The Lord is my
redeemer, my rock in time of affliction.
Into His hands I commit my spirit. God
Is with me, what shall I fear." .sobbed

Do you wish to road a true, wholesome
story founded on tacts? A book with
character of high aims and noble pur
poses? "Truth is often, stranger than no
tion." Eaton Mains have recently Issued
sue, a novoV by Kirk Parsons, entitled
"On the Mountain Wvlslon." It is a story
of railroad lite, the incidents narrated
having some ' within 'to? bounds'! tha au
thor's knowledge. ..Yet its being a true
story dors not, as many might suppose,
detract any from Its Interest by making
U dry reading with little acUon. To the
contrary. It l full of life, vim and activ
ity just what one ' naturally expects in
the busy railroader's experiences. The
story opens with "Willie" Barsuns In an
orphanage. One day when 8 years of age
he was called Into the reception room and
there met Jake Stoneman, a farmer liv
ing near New Dover, who gave him a home
on the farm. The life at the orphanage
had been dull and uneventful fox so active
a lad and he welcomed the change with
delight. However, the slaving under the
new master, who was unmerciful in his
requirements of labor, proved more than
he could stand, and at the age of IS we
find him In the silent hours of a spring
night trudging along a deserted highway,
friendless and alone, all his possessions
some bread, gingerbread and Johnnvcakii
wrapped up In a paper. He finally se
cured employment on a. farm which lasted
until fall,. But his seemed to be an un
lucky star, ' for one day his employer sud
denly and. without warning dismissed him.
at the same time accusing him of theft.
We next find him, almost starved and
frozen to death, with his llmba being bathed
in cold water. In the home of kind, big
hearted Uncle Horton. Here he found his
first real friends and a brighter life be
gins. He always had a longing for the
railroader's life, and after living with
them for some time the fever for such a
life began anew and he soon secures a
position as engine wiper. The life was
tiresome and. full of many trials, but his
Christian courage, and character always
made right come out victorious. High
Ideals in both right living and duty to
employers brought their reward, and after
several thrilling experiences such as only
the life following the steam horse brings
he la promoted on and up until he be
comes conductor. The book has Its story
of love and happy married Ufa, the battle

AFFAIRS IN SOUTH OMAHA
Milk Inipeotor Jonei is Bniy with Dairy
men Jnit Now.
FEW SAMPLES FAIL 10 STAND HIS TEST
a
Ono or Two Instances of Water and
Chemicals Being Added Are Lo
cated, bat Most of the
Milk is Pare.
Inspector Jones Is going after the milk
dealers. Yesterday he secured and tested
sixteen samples of milk. The average was
3.2. In the first test of elaht samnles only
one fell below the 3 per cent standard
designated by the city ordinances. In the
second test of eight samples two were a
little shy, but the average was about the
same. The Inspector secured the names
of the two dairymen whose samples fell
below standard and will caution them to
day to bring In better milk. It Is the In
tention of the health department to keep
up, these tests during the balance of the
summer. In addition to securing samples
from milkmen for testing purposes sam
ples are being secured from private fam
ilies. One of the latter class of samples
was on exhibition In the Inspector's oflfco
yesterday. It showed plenty of water and
the presence of a chemical of some kind.
Such samples will be sent to a chemist
for analysis In order that the city may
have a case should the city attorney de
cide to commence proceedings. Next will
come samples of milk from milk depots.
These will be tested the name as the milk
secured from wagons on the street, as tho
ordinance relating to dairymen covers milk
depots also. .
The suggestion has been made that the
city look into the lmpuro food matter. At
the present time the Inspector has appli
ances for testing milk only, but some ar
rangements may be made whereby an In
spection of meats and groceries sold In
the city may be Inspected without any
great cost to the city.
Inspector Jones expects to make the
rounds of the dairies In a few days in
order to see if the barns are kept In a
sanitary condition and the water - pure
and sufficient In quantity.
Want More Improvements.
Residents In all portions of the city are
after more improvements, especially In the
matter of hydrants and lights. Improve
ment clubs have taken this matter up and
are urging members of the council to se
cure orders for the location of lire hy
drants In order that the water mains may
be extended. There Is also a demand for
street lights. While the most of these de
mands, or requests, rather, come from that
portion of the city south of Q street, the
people In the north and east sections are
also clamoring. One of the members of
the council said last evening that under
the present charter the council had levied
the maximum for street lights and for fire
hydrants and therefore was powerless to
order In either lights or hydrants.
Some time ago the lighting company and
the water company sent communications
to the council declining to place lights or
hydrants until the old bills were paid.
These old bills will most likely be paid
when the overlap bonds are sold, but the
1903 levy will not permit of any extensions
In water mains or in street light lines.
Tho council would like to have the people
understand that the limit In both cases
has been reached, and that If there was
any violation they' would be liable on their
bonds. , , " 1

. Dlscnsslon of the Report.
The report was discussed for two hours
pro and con. eliciting a variety of opinions
with Incidental recital of recent political
history In Illustration of various arguments.
B. G. Burbank opened the debate by' de
claring himself against the proposed rules
notwithstanding the fact that as a mem
ber of the committee of revision he had
acquiesced In the report. Mr. Burbank
was sure that the new scheme would not
ameliorate factional differences In any par
ticular and seemed Imbued with the con
viction that It would give what he called

"the city hall machine" a firmer grip tn
the situation than ever.
Harry Brome combatted the Idea by argu
ing that nominations under the proposed
plan would rest on substantial strength of
the successful candidates and would unify
the party support for the ticket after It
was nominated. W. B. Ten Eyck kept
poking In questions, asking whether this
was not the system by which Senator Quay
kept in power In Pennsylvania, and inti
mating that It was designed to build up
a political boas, yet assuring the conference
that he was not opposed to It.
Howard Kennedy, jr., suggested that fac
tional lines certainly would not be more
sharply drawn under the new scheme than
undor the present method of nomination,
while W. O. Ure saw the chief virtue of the
proposed changes In the promise they held
out of eliminating nominations secured by
trade and bringing the party in closer
touch with the voters. This system he folt
sure would give the voter a chance to ex
press himself on every office to be filled
Instead of as now on only those offices for
which there were candidates In his own
ward. What seemed to Mr. Vre a point in
Its favor proved to be exactly the point on
which A. H. Com stock was arrayed against
it. Mr. Comstock objected because it would
prevent the aspiring candidate from cap
turing his own ward delegation and then
trading himself Into a nomination on Its
strength.
Matter of Expenses.
"W. A. Messick also enlivened the pro
ceedings by raising several questions as to
the matter of campaign expenses and ex
pressing a doubt whether any candlda'.e
could go through and keep within the limits
fixed by the corrupt practice law. Harry
B. Morrill put in a word to show that he
was Jn favor of the proposed- changes, or
at. .least -could see no reason why It should
pot be given a trial. Victor Rosewater
explained that the proposed plan embodied
three or four separate and distinct propo
sitions, some of which all might agree to
while others would require study In order
to arrive at a fair conclusion as to their
desirability. He suggested that one fea
ture, namely the one that required candi
dates to pledge In advance that they would
not If defeated run against their successful
competitors, would be endorsed by all
present, and offered to put the suggestion
In a motion "that It be the sense of the
conference that no candidate who sought
a nomination before the recent republican
Judicial convention could lu good faith
accept a nomination to run against the
nominees of that convention." This sug
gestion seemed to strike a favorable re
sponse from all but John P. Breeu, who
protested against it with the plea the can
didates who went before tho Judicial con
vention did not know any such a condi
tion was attached und on his objection
that the motion was not a proper subject
for the meeting It was ruled out of order.
After the discussion the report was or
dered sent to the county committee with a
recommendation that It be adopted In
preference to It being sent to the next
