THE OMAnA DAILY HEEj FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2. 1003. SEW-BOORS AND MAGAZINES A Ttxt Book on Eletnentarj Agriculture for the Foblio Schools. COMPILED BY NEBRASKA PROFESSORS Tne October Review of Reviews Cos. tola Tin Article on the Pron lea of the (ointrr School i Which Deserve Attention. We have received from the University Publishing company at Lincoln, a text book for public schools entitled "New Elemen tary Agriculture." Thin book la compiled by Profs. Bessey, Bruner and Bweiey of the University of Nebraska. It contains 1M pages and Is Intended to cover most of the natural phenomena found In dally Ufa on the farm. It begins with plant growth nd takee up the principal crops grown on the farm and In the garden, gives hints on cultivating the noil, rotation of crops, treats of fungus growths and varieties of the common farm crops like wheat and corn. Prof. Bruner contributes some of the most Important chapters on Insects, useful and Injurious. Me gives the life history of the honey bee and the silk worm. His chapter on the birds that are common In this country would alone be worth the price of the book. From It the children can recognize the birds that fly around them. lie does not forget to tell how useful they are In keeping the Insects In check and counsels the children to preserve rather than to destroy them. Prof. Swezev has cnnfrlhuted several rhnn. tore on the weather on the farm. H tells what makes the wind blow and the cause of the wind's changing from one point of the compass to another, why south winds, bring warm and north winds cold weather, cold waves and blizzards. Another chapter Is devoted to cloudy and rainy weather and their cause. Snow and hall come In for their share of- attention. Thunder storms, tornadoes and weather predictions are explained. The different breeds of all domestlo animals are taken MP and thetr good and bad qualities ex plained. TV. K. Kowlef, state superin tendent of Instruction, gives the work his endorsement In the following manner: "The book Is well written and admirably well adapted to the higher . grammar grades of village and rural schools. I believe teaching elementary agriculture will Increase Interest and Improve Instruc tion In elementary science and vice versa. A closer relation between home and school may be established by teaching In the school tho Interests and duties of life on the farm and in the home. We cannot teach In the school room the "how" of farming, but we may teach the "why." Instruction In agriculture may assist the teacher In showing the 'pupil the relation of school to his dally life; may assist In connecting the practical In life with the theoretical In school." The charmingly colored eover Illustrating a spirited foot ball soene prepares House keeper readers for the many good things In this month's magazine. One of the more notable artistic features Is the full page illustration by P. DeForrest Bchook, por traying the end of summer days. '.'A Ro mano ef the World's Fair" Is the story of an interesting Incident In the family of the Chinese commissioner to the St. Louis ex position. A novelty In women's magazines Is the new department, "His Royal High ness," In which an amusing man presents the masculine view of matters domestic and spares not the rod. The entertaining flctlon- hr crmtrttmted; bye such writers as Ellia Orne White, Martha McCulloch Wllllams, Albert Henry Lewis and Grace McKIroy hira. ' In the Review of Reviews for October are two articles on the problem of the country sohool which deserve special attention. Prof. Hays of the University of Minnesota writes on "Our Farmer Youth and the Publlo Schools,", showing what Is being done In many parts of the country, through school consolidation and the development Of agricultural high schools, to give the country boy and girl the advantages of a connected, well adjusted and rational sys tem of publlo Instruction, while Superin tendent Kern of Rock ford. 111., in a brief Illustrated article, gives the results of prac tical efforts among farmer boys In his country In the direction of interesting the boya in the business of farming and In teaahlng them the things worth knowing 1b their rural environment Outing for October Is full of timely things for out-of-door men and women, October. Is a . shooting month. , II. 8. Canfleld'a story of "Shooting arouse In the Middle Northwest," an "Off Day Among Quail" and "Helps In Duck Calling" are therefore all In the swing of present outdoor activi ties. To big game hunters J. H. Kidder's paper on "Hunting Sheep In Alaska" will make valuable as well as Interesting read ing because few have spsnt so much time In Alaskan game research as Mr. Kidder. Bo, , too, Richard D. Ware'a article on ."Newfoundland Caribou" la . of unusual quality because It offers Important Informa tion ef a locality very easy to hunt. The Visit ef English golf and tennis experts to thla oountry and their sweeping victories give especial interest to such articles as "American Balls and British Golfers," by Horace Hutchinson, the veteran Eng'ish expert, and an analysis of the reasons for t5 rwsM '"jtT s the handy way to broil !

That hnzy "central' the place so long heard but never seen after all is not a modern Babel, delivered over to Jarring rinir hells and aeneral pande monium. "Behind the Scenes at Central," the title of a lively article in tne ociomr Booklovers Magazine, describes minutely the wonderful and vastly expensive sys tem now prevailing In a first-rate telephone exchange, with numerous photographic illustrations from actual scenes. Every step In the process Is made clear, as well as the severe framing which "the telephone girl" undergoes to tit her for swift and almost automatic action, and the oppor tunities given her for rest and recreation. With the October number The World Today appears under the editorial dlreo tlon of Prof. Bhaller Mathews of the Uni versity of Chicago. No magazine of the month can show more timely articles or more distinguished contribute. Among them are Israel Zangwill. on "The Future of the Jews;" Governor Aycock of North Carolina, on "The Disfranchisement of the Negro;" President Oilman of the Carnegie Institution, on "Bible Lessons in the Ele mentary Schools;" Prof. Judson of the University of Chicago, on the "Balkan States and the Powers;" Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotln, on "Women's Clubs;" Arthur H. Smith, on the "Outlook In China." An article by Dr. Edmund Buckley upon rhlcairo at the End of a Century,", sets forth the pre-eminence of the western metropolis In an exceedingly vivid fashion. The number Is profusely Illustrated. An especially Interesting department Is "The Making of Tomorrow," in which Is gath ered together an extraordinary amount of Information concerning progress all over the world. Other new departments are, "Men of the Month," "The World's Thought" and "Books' and Reading," vln which, by the way, is a delightful little essay on "Books I Have Met," by Martha Baker Dunn. It appears that Chicago has at last a monthly magazine of the first rank. The- October Atlantic contains among other papers two articles of marked value and national importance; Representative McCall contributes to the Atlantic a power ful political article, "The Power of the Senate" meaning its usurpations taking for his text the startling valedictory words of Speaker (to be) Cannon at the close of the last session. He arraigns the undemo cratic characteristics of the senate and forecasts a conflict to come between the houses, which he predicts will be decided "In favor of those great principles of popu lar government which underlie the Amer ican commonwealth." Booker T. Washing ton contributes "The Future of Industrial Training," in which he describes the evo lution through which the south and the negro have been passing since the rebel lion, believing, as he always has, that there is no color line in commerce and that in Industrial training lies the solution of our national race problem and the salva tion of his race. The October number of the National Magazine of Boston Is high-water mark for that periodical. Among the contrlbu ters of special articles and current com ment are Poultney Blgelow, Senator Till man, Dallas Lore Sharp, Charles Fergu son, Dr. Felix Oswald, Major R. S. Porter, Colonel James Matlack Scovel, George T. Richardson, Kate Sanborn, Joe Mitchell Chappie and Frank Putnam. The above books are for sale by the Megeath Stationery Co., 1308 Farnam St. ,.

Also on the tenth day of this seventh month, there shall be a day of atone ment; it shall be a holy convocation un to you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. I-evlUcus xxlll, 25. The Jews count the beginning of their holidays from the time the stars appear in the evening, and consequently the first ser vices In celebration of the day of atone ment were held at Temple Israel Wednes day and continued throughout yesterday. The character of these services is grave and. solemn. The service Wednesday night was practically repeated yesterday from :30 until 1. It Included an eloquent address by Rabbi Simon on the subject, "Be a Man," and some excellent singing. At 8 o'clock the afternoon service began, at which the rabbi delivers another addresa on "The Destiny of Man." Prayers are selected from the prayer book. A memorial service begins later In the afternoon, when the destiny of human life Is discussed. Longfellow's poem. "The Day la Done," furnishes th rubject for this memorial ser vice. Miss Minnie Meyer sings a solo. David as an Illustration. David had committed a great sin, said the rabbi In his address last night, and the prophet reproached him. The prophet first presented an allegorical story . of a rich man with many sheep, and a poor man, his neighbor, with only one pet lamb. In order to prepare a feast for guests he took the single lamb of the poor man and killed It. The prophet then asked David what the punishment should be In such a case, and David replied, "He deserves death." The prophet then answered him, "Thou art the man." Rabbi Simon said there are few among us whom the prophet could not ap proach in the same way and with the same result, and he asked that every man on this day if on no other day In the year, look down Into his heart and ask him self the question, 'What sin have I com mitted?" and request God to tell htm in what way he should atone. He said there is no man among us but who may find himself guilty. If not of this crime, of some other, and he appealed to everyone When they went home before allowing their head to rest upon their pillow to spend a few minutes In silent meditation, asking themselves the question, "What have I done?" In part the address was as follows: The story of the world's progress Is the story of man's rise from sin, and through sin. You mav never have robbed a man of his land, but do you walk In sheep's clothing? You may not have stabbed Inno cence or robbed virginity. Think of the worm wnere there are Iambs alauchtered. human lambs. Think of the women who have been thrown out Into the cold to suffer with no word of kindness to sustain them. Are you guilty? Whether you are strong or weak, the prerogative of sin is yours. Have you used it? Come tonight and be honest with yourself, delve deeply Into the recesses of your heart and cast out me sin. Bin and Self. We all have our eveiine. Rome will mv "I was born with a constitution which re quires stimulants," but Is that an excuse for drinking to excess? How many men who will try to find an excuse for their own conduct will attempt to find one for their neighbor? You cry out to heaven against your neighbor Who-, might do the same and show you what an apt pupil of yours he Is. Sin Is not universal because It belongs to each man. You cannot say, "I raise my children for my own Dleasure." If vou violate the law in raising them It will step In and take them awny from you. You cannot throw a stone with the Intention of Its going twenty feet and hit some one ten feet distant, and excuse yourself' by say ing, "I did not mean to do It." No man has ever sinned unto himself alone In all the world's history. Often your family has to bear the brunt, and again your children inhorlt the odium. Remember, there are thousands of consciences Just as sensitive hs yours. You people of Jewish faith know better than anyone living how Israel has suffered because of the sin, the rascality, the weakness of one man. You must not only be as oL you must be better than your enow man. That la tne standard to set for yourself. Each and everyone of us should feel that this day comes home to us especially. I bring you this message to night, think It over. Ask God what you have done of sin, of hypocrisy, of decep tion to rob you of peace and happiness, or the peace and happiness of some friend. Spend a few moments In such serious thought. CARPENTER'S BACK IS BROKEN Fall from Low Roof Resalts la Se rlons Injary to Albert F, Qross. While working on the roof of a house at 1830 North Seventeenth street yesterday afternoon, Albert F. Gross, who resides at 1217 South Fifteenth street, lost hla balance and fell to the ground, a distance of about ten feet. He was picked up unconscious and removed to the Wise Memorial hos pital, where an examination developed the fact that he had sustained a fracture of the backbone at the second vertebra. Hj also had a severe gash on the side of his head, and the third rib on the right aide was broken. A more thorough examination was made last night by Drs. Allison and MocDlarmld, and It was decided to postpone the opera tion which It Is necessary to perform until en, Stoves Always Pk Just pull the chain and up goes the whole FrontTop. Then you can lay kindling, poke the fire, brtnl or toast, free from the usual annoyances. We want to show them to you. too Doalors today. At the second examination it was found that Gross Is completely paralyzed from his chest downward, and that he has lost all sense of feeling In the lower part of his body. Similar cases are Bald by the attending physicians to be very rare, and it is seldom that the patients recover. The operation will necessitate the removal of any blood clot or pieces of broken bone which may be pressing the spinal cord. Gross Is 66 years of age, and carpenter by trade. MERCHANTS . MEET IN OMAHA oelatlon of state Holds Ananal Convention Here Three Days ef Xext Week. The annual convention of the Retail Grocers' and General Merchants' associa tion of Nebraska meets in this city Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The sessions will be held in Pat terson hall, on Douglas and Seventeenth streets, opposite the carnival entrance, and the meetings begin af 10 a. m. and continue until ( p. m., with a two hours' intermis sion for lunch. It Is probable that the Tuesday session will be dispensed with on account of the republican primaries and the work done on the following days.

The meeting will receive delegates from fourteen merchnnts' asso ciations In the state and Individual repre sentatives from unorganized towns. For this reason it is Impossible to know how many retailers will attend the convention. There Is a possibility that the name of the association will be changed, because while only the retail grocers are Interested from this city, In the smaller places the associations are general in nature, and for this reason member wish the word grocers stricken from the name. The program is: First session will be called to order by President Harry Mitchell of the city asso ciation; Mayor Moores will make an address of welcome and President J. Jungblut of the Lincoln association will respond. G. I Munro makes a welcoming speech on the part of the Omaha grocers and O. C. Thompson of Blair, president of the state association, will speak.

CHIEF DONAHUE BREAKS UP THE PLAY Letters and Telegrams Telling; of Accidents and Brfglng for Money Get the Writer Into Prison In Nevada, In the annals' of crimes thwarted probably no more interesting tale is told than that of how a burly; negro chased a slender youth across two states and Into a 'third. Chief Donahue had tho pleasure of clearing up the matter on Wednesday for an almost distracted mother and setting her fears for the tafetj' of her boy praotlcally at rest. Last July Frank Rogers, . son of J. F. Rogers, 4340 Maple street. Instructor' fn painting and art at the Deaf and Dumb in stitute, bade adieu to the home circle and went west to seek his fortune. Frank is only 17, but possessed of the proper spirit and pluck landed In Wyoming and soon found employ mes-t on a ranch. Wl n he left home he had not taken all his money with him, and while at Cheyenne sent home for funds, which were forwarded, two drafts for IS each being sent him, drawn in his brother's name. J. A. Rogers, his elder brother, is a bookkeeper at the Omaha National bank, and it Is merely a coincident that one of the directors of the bank bears the same name and Initials as J. F. Rogers, Frank's father. ' Frank Rogers received the two drafts and either lost them or they were stolen from him, his parents are not quite sure on this point, but they do know that through hav lng possession of the drafts for a few hours a negro styling himself Sylvester Ages be came Imbued with the Idea that young Rogers was the son of wealthy parents and made desperate efforts to locate him and for the purpose of holding him for ransom the parents now feel satisfied. How the Negro Worked. The Rogers' first heard from Sylvester Ages early in August. He wrote them a letter in whloh he evinced a great interest In Frank and promised to take care of him, but the family now learn that Frank Rogers never knew him. From Cheyenne, Wyo., Frank Rogers went to Ogden, Utah, and was followed by the negro, who ar riving there and not finding the young man telegraphed Mrs. Rogers that her boy had met with an accident, but that he would And him and see that he was well cared for. Then followed a deluge of telegrams from Ages, most of them coming at night. The parents would be plunged into despair over the fate of their hpy as depicted by the man signing himself Sylvester Ages, only to be later delighted by hearing from Frank himself, always from another city than that In which Ages seemed to be and Constipation derange! mora Uvea with nervousness than any other abnormal condition.

On September IS laat Mrs. Rogers re ceived two telegrams from Ages In one night. In one of which he asked for a re mittance of tS to help him find her boy Frank. She became thoroughly alarmed and presented the case to Chief Donahue. She knew that her boy waa at Woodland, Cal., working on a fruit farm, for he had written her from there. As a result Ages' search for Frank Rogers came to an abrupt end at Wlnnemueca, Nev., whither he had gone from Carson City, believing he would find young Rogers there. Chief Donahue had Mrs. Rogers answer Ages' telegram and gave the sherif of Wlnnemueca due notice, which resulted In the negro's appre hension. Since the arrest of Ages It de velopes that he Is wanted in Wlnnemueca for burglary on two occasions. The letters and all correspondence In this strange case were turned over to United States Attorney Summers and have been forwarded to Wlnnemueca to bo used there In evidence against Ages. , BABY BADLY CUT IN A BRAWL Innocent Suffers Severe Ilnrt Daring Progress of n Row nt Its Parents' Homo. John O. Peasner and wife, 194S South Fourteenth street, Carrie Smith and an other man mixed up In a brawl yesterday evening.. When taken to the police station the Smith woman had her head quite se verely Injured In the fight. The Peasnera have six children, the youngest Of which Is about 7 months old. While the fight was In progress the baby was In the room, and In some manner It was struck in the left shoulder. A gash about two Inches In length and about half an - Inch deep was the result. After the grown people were lodged in Jail the patrol wagon was sent out after the baby. It was not known that It had been hurt until it reached the station when the cut in Its shoulder was discovered. It waa removed to the surgeon's department and Police Surgeon Schleler took several stitches In the wound to close It. During the opera tion the baby sat and watched the doctor work with never a suggestion of a tear In Its eyes. Several of the officers were in tne room wnen tne physician began to work, but t was noticeable that they va cated soon after the sewing began. As there was no one left to look after the family of children at the Peasner home the father waa released later in the even ing to care for them. Carrie Smith waa arraigned In police court and owing to the absence of import' ant witnesses the caae was continued until Friday morning. All Seats Free.

Huntington Telia Pros. peet Hill Improvers Wlr .Fran chise Was Extended. Prospect Hill Improvers were out In small number last evening, but an interesting meeting was held, and an explanation of why the city cpuncll extended i the gas company's lighting franchise! was asked for and granted by . Councilman C. P. Huntington, who was present. Mr. Huntington said the prime' reason for granting the extension was to place both lighting companies on an equal, footing. The electric lighting franchise had yet two and a half years of life and two years had been added to the gas franchise.. This waa to pave the way for municipal mnershlp of all lighting plants, or to secure the best terms in granting a new franqbiae, provid ing for both gas and electrio Ughta. Messrs.. Hurst .and Dally, vrqembera of the club, were t)Ot pleased with the action of . . j council, and did not hesitate to say so In terms meant to ooAvew their die- pleasure. They considered the action hasty and unwarranted, and Mr. Hurst said: "I would not expect to get asked for, two bids from two parties and then award the con tract to one of them without -consulting the other or giving him a chance to com pete." , . Mr. Huntington replied to the aggrieved Improvers by telling them that under an agreement entered Into by and between the electric lighting company and the gas com pany no bids .were to be submitted to the council until Mr. Nash returned . from a trip abroad. This seemed to modify the pent up feelings of the two' residents of the hill, and Mr. Huntington told the Im provers -a few facts regarding, the city's finances and about, the street and side walk repairs under contemplation. He said: , ' "The $200,000 bonds we understand from the city attorney are not available for current expenses, and we . are - facing a crisis because we have , not ,been able to collect a matter of $260,000 or $300,000 from tho railroads. All city funds are short and we will have to -wait until another levy la made unless this $200,000 may bi used. It would cost $60,000 to put th streets of Omaha In proper condition. Wi are extending the work In the1' outlying wards as fast a possible and will keep on doing so." In conclusion Mr. Huntington,, told the club to select representatives to ' attend each and all council meetings and take note of all there Is flone. -' These repre sentatives could also . present their, wanU to the council. The club tendered a voU of thanks to the street commissioner, an the Board of Public works for the. mannel In which streets had been repaired slnot the cessation of the rainy sauaoiv - and (led; to Eat
