A feature of the October magazines- that
will appeal most favorably to Omaha rcad-
to tlio Trans-
rra Is the prominence given
mlsBlsalppl Exposition Tlw leading 'aaga-
zlnca all contain well v-Won articles on
that subject , the most of them illustrated ,
anil the readers of the better class of llteraI I
tuns In nil sections of the country cannot I
fall to have their attention called to the
matter. The war continues to receive a
great deal of attention from the tncgazlnea ,
both largo and small , and a number of very
prominent writers are accorded space to
tell what they know ot Its conduct and re
sults arising from It.
The article In the October Scrlbncrs ou
the "Battle of San Juan , " by Richard Hard-
Ing Davis , la not only a vivid description of
that famous victory but a completes and
careful analysis of the conduct of the whole
Santiago campaign. Ho points out with
perfect clearness the problems Involved , and
says that the final success obtuine I was
due solely to the splendid and persistent
valor of the troops who fought under the
most trying and discouraging con iltlons ,
combined w It'll the destruction of Cervera'a
fleet by the navy Captain Arthur 11 Lee
of the noyal artillery , the British military
attache , who accompanied our troops to
Cuba , writes of "The Regulars at El Cancy. "
J. F. J. Archibald writes of "Tho Day of
the Surrender" nt Santiago , and another
newspaper man , Mr John It. Spears , of
"Afloat for News In War Times. "
Senator Lodge's "Story of the Revolution"
deals chiefly with the romantic career and
treason of Benedict Arnold , and describes
with dramatic Intensity the event's that led
to his discovery and flight. Harrison Rob
ertson's has n short story "Drummed Out. "
In her p.ipcr on "American Popularity , " Miss
Allno Oorren accounts for the almost general
nurnpcan attitude of Individual and social
hostility to us. "Johnny's Job , " by Octave
Thnnet , Is one of this well known author's
short storlcj of Industrial life In the west
Mr. Pago's "Ue l Uock" reaches some of Its
most dramatic chapters.

graphic account of "A Storm at Sea" Is by

McClure's for October contains a well j (
written article on the Omaha exposition by 1
William Allen White. Eduard Fitzgerald '
contributes an account of the first ascent to
the summit ot Aconcagua , the highest peak
I of the Andes , and , with the exception of a
fuw peaks In the Himalayas , the highest
In the world. Mr. Fitzgerald's party
was driven back many times by dlsi I i
I tresses and dlfucultle-i that men of less than
I the big-eat courage and endurance would
have accepted as Insurmountable , but they
tried It again and again , until finally the
summit was won. Hon. Frank A. Vander-
llp , assistant secretary of the treasury , has
an article on "The Cost of the War. " There
has been n great deal ot speculation and I
talk on this subject by people who were In '
no pos tlon to cotno at the facts , but Mr.
Vaudcrllp must have them all right under
his hand and his article , therefore , cannot
fall to bo read with eager Interest. Other I
features are "Tho right at Santiago , "
"Diary of the British Consul -at Santiago , "
"Tho Two Admirals , " etc.
First In the Cosmopolitan Is an article on
"Tho TransmlsslBslppl Exposition" by
Octavo Thanet. The article Is piofuscly 11.
lustrated. The third of the "Great Problems
of Organization" series Is "The Chicago
Pad lug Industry , " this contributed by
Theodore Dreiser. Another Illustrated
feature Is "Tho Frco Lecture System , " by
S. T. Willis. Six pages are devoted to
full page Illustrations of the reception ot
the American licet. Frank R. Stockton ,
O'Neill Latham and Harry Thurston Peck
contribute to the fiction of the number.
The American Monthly Review of RevleAs
for October gives special attention to the
developments of the past mouth In Interna
tional politics and to the lessons of the
Spanish-American war. The editor. In the
department of "The Progress of the World , "
discusses the attitude of the Spanish peoplb
toward peace conditions , the new relations
between Germany and England , the czar'a
proposition for disarmament , the Dn > yfua
case In France , England's reopening of the
Sou'an and other serious problems con
fronting the European powers. Important
rontrlbutfd articles review President Me-
Klnley's course In the conduct of the war
to a successful close and the deficiencies In
our administrative machinery revealed by
the fatal delays and break-downs In the
medical and subsistence departments of
nrmy management.
In the October number ot the Atlantic
Monthly the Anglo-American question Is
treated from the American side by Hon. Cart
Schurz , who opens the number , and from the
English standpoint by Albert V. Dicey , the
distinguished Jurist , who follows him. An
other article of vital Importance Is a discus
sion by Horace N. Fisher of "Our New For
eign Policy , " In which he traces the history
of the past policies of our own and European ,
.ationa , showing how each generation must '
act for Itself In new situations. The bril
liant and characteristic Carlyle letters are
continued , every one of which Is valuable
for the new light It throws upon tha writ
er's Inner personality and his methods ot
work. Prof. Mark II. Llddcll makes an
other vigorous appeal for the teaching of
English , taking Shakespeare for his themt" "
and showing how even today wo do not half
understand the language or meaning of our
greatest writer. Pr uce Krap tk n tr ngj his
brilliant and entertaining biography up to
his leaving home at fifteen years of ago to
Join the Imperial corps of pages. Ho de
scribes his llfo and education In city and
country up to that time , and the social man-
neis ot the Russian nobility , casting mean-
whllo a powerful sidelight upon the miser
ies of Russian serfdom even under the mild
est of masters. In "Buds , Floweis and
People , " Bradford Torrcy describes In his
brat and most brilliant fashion a trip among
the mountains of North Carolina ,
Prof. New comb In his "Reminiscences" I
takes the render to Paris during the com-
mune. Woodrow Wilson sketches entertain-
In / and Instructively as "Tho Wit and
the Seer" the character of William llage-
hot. the noted English publicist ; and Irv- .
Ins Babbitt depicts that of George Sand as |
revealed In her recently published corre-
< sio"dcnre with do Mustet and Salnte-Bcuve.
Prof. Kuno Francke analyzes the personal
character of Bismarck. Joseph A. Altshelor
contributes a weird and characteristic war
tale entitled "At the Twelfth Hour. "
For the first time In print General A. W.
Grccly tells , In the October Ladles' Home i 1
Journal , the fearfu ? experiences of himself
and his Ice-lmprleonrd band of explorers as j I ,
they faced death for 264 sunless < lajs at the 1
North Pole. Man after rr > an dropped dead
at the side of this commander , and the rest
simply waited for their turn. It Is a won
derful story. Bright In contrast Is "Tho
Anecdotal Side of Mark Twain , " In the Eamq
magazine , In which the humorist's closest
frloncia trll twenty funny new stories of him.
"Tho Most Interesting Sunday School In
America" Is the story of John Wanamakcr's

she Is In her New Ensland home.
In "The Boy of Ten PJienorairaaf Fingers , "

The Woman's Board of Managers nwt In
the boys' parlor of the Girls' and Boys'
building at lo o cioch 'iutaaa moiiinig
for Its quarterly and last meeting. The
out-of-town members present were Mrs.
Sawyer and Mrs. Field of Lincoln , Mrs.
Kerr of Ansley , Mrs. Hunter of Broken
Bow , Mrs. Dutton of Hastings , Mrs. Hol-
lenbeck of Fremont , Mrs. Ulrfert ofVcst
Point , Mrs. McDowell of Falrbury and Mrs.
Key of Council Bluffs. The president. Mrs.
Sawyer , delivered her parting message to
the board In a speech so forcible and bril
liant that the ladles Immediately demanded
possess.on of it that It r.lght be put In
permanent form for a keepsake.
Mrs. Sawyer began her address by noting
the two distinct , features of this , as ot all
expositions , namely , the products of Indus
try and the evidences of culture ; the first ,
useful arts ; the second , liberal arts. After
' paying tribute to the administrative ] ability
i which has brought together such an cx-
hlb.t of material things. Mrs. Sawyer
said : "To many visitors the material
features of the exposition , Its buildings and
grounds , Its exhibits and entertainments ,
, its beauty and variety , constitute the whole
I i of the exposition , nevertheless the Imma
terial and Incorporeal features are essen
tial and omnipresent , Just as the light and
air are Inseparable from all material ex-
hlblts. The Intangible features , the evi
dences of culture , are the true exponents
j I of progress. That this transmlst-lsalppl rj-
i gl n a hundred years ago an unknown
'
' wild should make the close o ! this , cen
tury glorious by thin vision of Intrinsic
and relative beauty , thlh accumulation "ot
resources , this expression and appreciation
of aesthetic and ethical standards , that the
existing standard of taste should demand
and receive so much , Is not thy of note.
The material part of the exposition Is a
rare flower. WP admire and praise It the
more , perhaps , because It Is so fleeting.
I We nurture a flower because we know It Is
' a sheath for the golden secret of a seed , the
ge m and promleo of future life. In like
manner should we cherish the Invisible In-
fluruco of the exposition , which will llvo
aftrr the visible forms have passed away ,
because they foretell the hopes of future
years. The thought-moulding , character-
forming aspirations und Impulses , the liftIng -
Ing of Ideals , such are some ot the sacred
seeds maturing In the heart of this Incom *
parable bloom. "
Work of Hilucatlon Ilnrrnu.
Mrs. Sawyer then referred to the com
parison some UIIHH made between the Board
of Lady Managers ot Chicago and the
Bureau of Education of the Transmlnslsslppl
Exposition , a comparison for which there is
no more basts than there Is between a
watch and the woman who carries It. "But
a watch , " she continued , " that fulfills tlio
purposes for which It was created Is as
worthy of commendation as an animate
being , The Chicago board , created by an
act of congress , was created self-reliant and
Independent. This bureau wag deputed by
the directors of the exposition to do special
work. Therefore It has not been and was
not Intended to be a significant or Integral
factor In the material development ot the
exposition. " Mrs. Sawyer reviewed the
educational exhibit over which the bureau
has had jurisdiction , the congress work and
the Girls and Boys' building , demonstrating
forcibly the Ideas for which each stands
In the exposition. Following the address ot
the president , the secretary reported the
detail of the various lines of work. She
stated that exact figures could not be
given while thcro were still outstanding accounts -
counts , but that the Girls' ami Bo > s' build
ing might be considered free from Indebted-
ness. The approximate cost has been $10-
000. The subscription ot the children
amounted to $3,000 , the subscription of
Mrs. Klmball to $1,000 , and the proceeds of
The Hatchet , with the receipts from ex
hibits and concessions , make up the bal
ance. She reported Chat the Congresses ot |
Music and of Art had been most successful
and that a number of other congresses were
about to convene under the auspices ot
the bureau. She also stated that the Mone
tary and Library congresses were Initiated
by the bureau and that for nil the educa
tional coiigieases Its machinery had been
called Into use.
Among several unexpected pleasures of
the morning was a visit from General Mana
ger Clarkson , who congratulated the women
upon their very successful work and thanked
them for co-operation and assistance. Hav
ing begun upon the extension of courtesies
the women were apparently In no haste to
stop. Mrs. Harfonl offered a resolution of
appreciation of the services of the presi
dent , Mrs. Sawyer , "who by her
untiring devotion to tbo work on
the executive committee , or the
congress committee , In the presentation of
plans , at great physical Inconvenience , and
In time of sere personal bereavement , has
so largely contributed to the success
achieved. " This was passed , with applause ,
and Miss McIIugh Immediately presented a
resolution formally recognizing the valuable
work of the secretary. This being acted
upon , Mrs. Towne proposed a vote of thanks
to the executive committee.

By this time luncheon was announced nnd
the women were soon seated at long tables
spread In t'ho read ng room. These were fur.
nlshed with the finest ot linen and china , and
decorated with red nnd yellow rosea. The
luncheon was in charge of Mra. Tllden and
the band-decorated menu cards were pro
vided by Miss McCague.
When the physical necessities of the com
pany had been met , the president , Mrs. Saw
yer , called to order and announced as the drat
toast , "The Bureau ot Education. How
earnest Thou In thla Pickle ? " which was re
sponded to by Mrs. Kerr of Anslcy. Mrs.
Kerr treated the subject from a humorous
standpoint , remarking upon her satisfaction
that the toastmlsfrcss had decided that the
bureau belonged In the pickle jar , rather
than in the soup tureen. She declined to
stnto how we got In , but thought wo were
in a fair wny to get ) out with credit.
Mra. Hollenbeck of Fremont spoke of
"Woman's Sphere" from the sentiment of
"A Crust of Bread and Liberty. " The
speaker deprecated the spelling of "sphere"
with too large a capital letter , believing that
"the most Intelligence , wisdom and physical
strength la required In the home , and the
most responsibility and happiness IB found
In motherhood , "
Mlsa McIIugh discoursed upon "The Genus
Homo" from the standpoint of a woman's
reason , "I think him so because I think him
ao. " She announced as th chief Interest
the "gcnua boyo , " and Bald that ) the hope
of development In the genus homo lay In
holding the same standards for Thomas
Jefferson aa for Tlrzah Ann ; that sh& might
be lifted to his plane of honesty and ecorn
of pettlncua , and ho to her standard ot
purity. Miss McHugh congratulated the
board on Ha opportunity of studying Clio
abstract from the concrete , and Bald , "If
I am to attribute to the whole clasa the
qualities found In the Individual , the genus
homo . musC possess 'tho frankness and
honesty of our friend , Mr. Hardt , and the
suavl'Jy i and unvarying kindness of the bead
of ' our department , Mr. Bruce. "
Mrs. McDowell spoke on "Finances , tha
Root of All Evil , " announcing hcreclf to bo
a ' believer In all the metals there were and
In < the free and unlimited distribution of
them all. She had been sufficiently Inter
ested " In the subject to buy a book , but her
husband couldn't explain It to her , nnd slio
concluded ' that a woman's chief power lay ,
after nil , in making $1 do the work of $5.
Mrs. Ford brought out the necessity In
public life of "The Scapegoat , " dwelling
upon the pleasures of his life , especially
pointing to the fact that at the end ho
could get away into the wilderness nnd
never be heard of more.
Mrs. Field of Lincoln presented "Woman
as a Classified Exhibit" She said : "It la
quite enough to be n thinking , consclontloua
human being without having In addition the
burden of all the news nnd notices with
which wo are labelled In the woman's page
of the dally press. " Mrs. Field also ex-
prossud her satisfaction that there is no
woman's building In our exposition and no
distinction In the work of the ecxcs.
To Mrs. Dutton of Hastings was assigned
the appropriate sentiment "Like Olive Plants
Around Thy Table. " Mrs. Dutton , In the
name of Miss Anita Dutton , shared honors
with Master Thomas Munro of South Omaha
and Master Joseph Reed of Council Bluffs ,
all of whom have been born Into the board
since its organization. Mrs. Dutton believes
that every mother In the land Is a herolno
and she thinks that If Dewey had hod the
conquering of ono ot the children of the
present day ho might Imvo been considered
a martyr Instead of a hero.
Mrs. Towne closed the exercises by toastIng -
Ing the executive committee to the senti
ment "A Very Llttlo Meat and a Good Deal
of Table Cloth. " She gave great credit to
the committee for Its work , especially In the
organization of the congresses which she
said had been of exceeding value to the
few who had been wise enough to take ad
vantage of them.
During the afternoon
the women were
given the courtesies of the Midway and they
visited the principal attractions there In
a body.
