NEW BOORS AND MAGAZINES Boms Valuable Publications for the Orment Week , .NEW EDITION OF EDWARD EVERETT HALE I'rnlrlc Folks Drought Out In n XCMV StrntllNli I'ocin In 1'rnnc Mnicnxlnc ; Note * for I' The filth volume In the now edition or Kdward Everett Halo's works Is "Philip Nolan's , Friends. " The author furnishes a new Introduction In which ho calls at tention to the episode of the shooting of Nolan and the Imprisonment of his twenty followers as a specimen of the bad faith of the Spanish that has led to the hatred of that nation among all Americans of the southwestern states. No Justification of thcso acts was ever made by Spain , and there could bo no Justlflcatlon , for N'olnn wan provided with a pass from the Spanish governor of Orleans to go Into Texas. The colonization of Texas and the Mexican war ncro the legitimate fruits of this bit of Spanish treachery. Such Incidents as tin Nolan tragedy nhow the real cause of the "absoluto unanimity of , feeling In the south west .that Spain could never bo trusted. " Dr. Halo has taken the historical facts In regard to Nolan's career and ban woven them Into a line romance of adventure In Texas. The etory of Nolan's exploits and of h'a ' heroic death Is rotated In graphic style. The book should have a revival of Its first popularity , now that Americans have had nmplo rcvonge for such bad faith as led to the death of Nolan and tha ten years' imprisonment of hla men. Little , Brown & Co. ; price $1.50. "Pralrlo Folks" by Hamlln Garland has been brought out In a now edition , revised nnd enlarged. The Ktorlcs which makeup the volume were written at about the same tlrno with those contained in "Mnln-Trav- r-lled Roads , ' * nnd the volume may bo con sidered n companion piece or second series. In tbo first volume some stories not of the Iiralrio country were Included , and the plan of the book brought together stories pe culiarly sombre In effect. In "Pralrlo Folks" the tales arc nearly all of the prairie lands of the west and Include many ruder as well as younger types. Doth books refer to conditions that have already passed or nro passing away. Some of them refer to border life of twenty or thirty years ago , others of more recent date > . Twelve years ngo Hanilin Garland was unknown to the American public. Today ho Is one of the moat successful of the younger -.ritcrs and hln clientage Is Increasing with every book that ho publishes. He bulleves in knowing thoroughly what ho writes about and put ting his facts In the strongest way. He knows life on a western prairie farm , for ho spent his boyhood In Wisconsin and Iowa. Kcry word that he writes on tha subject rings true. Two years ngo he wanted to see the great rush of gold-seekers on the way to the Klondike. Ho joined a pcrty bound fer Dawson by the Stlckeen river trail , and though he never reached the Klondike ho saw enough of misery and death to make , the best book on the Klondike niBh that has yet been printed. Mr. Gar land bcllevos In realism , but he has so much Imagination that his pictures arc never wearisome. Ho Is n consummate literary nrtist , and especially In his verse ho re flects perfectly the hopes and yearnings of the young west. It IB a comparatively long time sines there has been a work of notion from Max well Gray. ' author of "The. Silence of Dean Maltland , " and much Interest will therefore bo felt In a new work from her pen , which boars the title , "Tho World's Mercy. " It has been brought out an a part of Appleton's well known Town and Country Library. It Is really a volume of stories , iho Initial one furnishing the title for the book. They are all Interesting stories with a good , moral tone , somewhat tinctured with a spirit of sadness. D. Appleton & Co. Prize , $1.00. Students of Swedish literature have af firmed that the nineteenth century has pro duced no liner poem than A. Teener's "Frlthjof and Ingeborg. " It tells In ths most delicate verse the story of two chil dren , a son and a daughter of vikings. Hen- aldo A. Hnsozln ban reduced the story of this poem to Kngllsb prose suitable for children , and it Is a very pretty and t uch- llig story. The author has also included In the same volume the story of Roland , the Paladin of France , the poem , "Chanson Do Holond , " being treated In the game way as the Swedish poem first mentioned.

" > e liiivcriiment 111 Denllntr with Our "In in lit r I'ortNeN-don.H. " OMAHA , Feb. 3. To the Editor of The Dee : Denunciation of the administration's 1'hlllpplno policy will undoubtedly In souio form constitute n "plank" In the platform of the nest democratic national conven tion. The fiasco of their former declara tions In national platforms will not deter them from offering , In all seriousness , n solution of this problem , framed or ap- j proved by such great statesmen as Crokcr of New York , Allgold of Illinois , Bryan of Nebraska , Stone of Missouri. Oocbcl of Kentucky , Hogg of Texas and Tlllmnn of South Carolina , who nre really the leaden ) of lie ! democratic party , and will shape the policy of that party In Its next national convention. They will grapple with II np- parcntly In real earnest nnd ns though they comprehended the nngnltude of the Inter ests Involved , nnd were not simply lifting stones nnd logs , It happily they might find Homo bait for their hooks in the next presi dential campaign. The republican party has never made n mlftnko in any great public policy , nor paltered with principle for policy's sake. Truth Is the magnet to which It points ns unerringly ns the. needle to the pole. In 1SC1 the republican party Mood for the unity nnd Integrity of the nation. The nballtlon of slavery , resumption of specie payment , nil the reconstruction acts nnd constitutional amendments were republican measures. It has taken charge of the af fairs of the country at times when all was chaos , confusion and business stagnation , and has brought order nnd prosperity to the people. It has stood nt all times for honest money nnd has refused alliance with "greenbacks , " "free silver" or any other debauchery of an honest financial system. Its past Is a pledge of Its future nnd the history of the republican party Is , and should be , n guaranty not only to repub licans , but to all thinking men , thnt It is the best and safest tribunal In which to seek the rightful solution of the Philippine question. That question Involves the wel fare of the nation , as well ns our duties to other governments nnd to the Filipinos themselves , Imposed by the fortunes of a war begun In a spirit of sympathy and jus tice , to free a neighboring people from a tyranny nnd oppression that had become a horror unbearable. Little or no murmur Is now heard In re gard to Cuban affairs. It has been hushed by the masterly management of the admin istration , which Is- rapidly bringing inde pendence and prosperity to Cuba. This hns beep no small tax upon the finances nnd the manhood of the people of the United States. But they'wero our neighbors suffering morally , physically and financially from the tyranny nnd greed of a foreign nation , which had no other interest than to suck their blcod. It was a duty that has been and is now being Intelligently and satis factorily discharged. But by the fortunes of this most righteous war the Philippine Islands , away off In Asia , have fallen Into our hands. Imposing new duties of a somowlfat similar character , but of a broader scope and under essentially different circumstances , which may well challenge the wisest statesmanship. The United States does not possess a fortunatus' purse , nor can It pose ns n Don Quixote rushing wildly to the rescue cf every dusky damsel in distress , nor can It levy taxes upon Its citizens to buy shlp3 nnd munitions of war , nor yet send Its citi zens and soldiers to nhed their blood In foreign parts without cause or reimburse ment for the cost entailed , which is a paramount duty we owe to ourselves. Here arc a people hardly half civilized , most of them yet living in tribal relations on differ ent Islands of the sea , without homogeneity of customs or language , ono tribe at enmity with another , and In whose ability nud ca pacity to either establish or maintain n sta ble government wo have little or no confi dence , who will have cost us perhaps half a billion of dollars for the reimbursement of wl.lch they can Give us no security. Wo cannot lot thorn go. To do so would be both cowardly and Inhuman. We cannot rclln- j guish our own rights nnd then stand by | nnd dare other nations to Interfere , nor can | wo define the line of conduct to bo pursued ; toward them by the nations of the world. ' Dcwcy could not have sailed away after. sinking the Spanish Meet In Manila bay nnd left even our enemies , the Spaniards , an well ns the subjects of foreign govern ments , to be murdered and looted by the half civilized hordes that hemmed them in. Such a line of conduct would embroil us In foreign wars that would cost the- United , Stoles billions of money and rivers of blood. Wo cannot dismiss our obligations and re sponsibilities by reverently raising our hnr.drs over the heads of the Filipinos nnd eaylng : "Bless you , my children ; blcsa you. " The republican party hns practically taken the stand that the United States was com pelled not only by the fortunes of war , but In Justice to the Filipinos themselves , to asnume sovereignty over the Philippine Islnndo , with all the duties nnd reponai- bllltlea entailed. Thnt much was demanded of It by Its responsibilities to other nations as well as by the- dictates of humanity , and It Is cnlltlcd to any advantages thnt mny j accrue , such n3 the extension of trade nnd I commerce in Asia , which will BOOH become 1 of vital Importance to the United States If It would maintain the- prosperity of Its people ple and Ito proud position among the na tions of the world. The republican party does not propose there shall be Inaugurated a tyrannous sys tem of Rovcrnmcnt Blmllnr to thnt from which they have Just been liberated , but that as fast and as far as is consistent with their , capacity to administer a wise , stable nnd i ' humane government , they nhall govern I I themselves under the guidance nnd control I j ' of the United States , who will stand their i sponsor and protector , promoting the arts of peara bv establishing a system of free scL'osls lko ! our own , by Introducing Im proved methods of manufacture and of cul tivating the neil , opening up new fields of commerce nnd extending their IiuBlncftj and trade rclatlur.3 , converting their rude huta and primitive villages line comfortable homes and thriving , bustling towns , thus mnklni ; them nn Intelligent , happy , pros perous people. The United States can and will Insure to each Individual Justice In the courts , edu cation In the schools , religious freedom and the "right to life , liberty and the pursuit cf happiness , " nil of which nro the outgrowth of American civilization and the highest attributes of our form of government C.

The mandamus proceedings brought by the county commissioners ngalust Albyu Frank , ex-clerk of the dlstrlot court , to compel him to render a fee account for the last quarter of 1S99 , drags tediously In Judge Kstclle's court. An argument which started between the opposing counsel Mon day afternoon as to the admlt-slon of oral tes timony , did not end until near noon yester day. The attorneys for Frank held that the records of the legislature showing the his tory of the fee law under which Frank ! s expected to account for fees , Is the only evidence that has a bearing on the legality of the law , and that Is now the point at Issue. The county attorney contended that If allowed to Introduce witnesses lie would be able to show that the. journal , which has been Introduced here as an exhibit of evidence , Is not the same as It originally ap peared. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Eslclle held that In this Instance oral testimony Is proper. 0. CJ. Weesner of Lincoln , deputy secre tary of state , took the witness sland. He was closely questioned as to who had had access to the legislative records after they were given over to thn custody of the secre tary of state. Deputy Wccsner said that several different persons had ex amined the records. He did not know that any one had mutilated the house Journal or made any changes at all. Asked If ho could say that no changes had been made , ho said : "We have other work to do , nnd we cannot stand over every one who calls at our ofllco to POO the records. Wo arc always careful , but our force is not largo enough to permit n man to watch everything that transpires. " Deputy Wccsiier was subjected to rigid examination by either side , but throughout the ordeal ho dl'l not materially deviate from his original statements. He was naked to name every one who had had access to the house journal , which the county attor ney seeks to prove has been "tampered with. " He declared that would be an 1m- preslblllty , as ho could not recall every name. John 0. Burkley , who was an assistant clerk In the house during the last legisla ture , was the next witness. He was Inter rogated nfi to the house roll-call on the fee bill. In a roundabout way he Indicated the belief that the aye and nay vote was culled that question being one of the Issues but his testimony was not positive. Something was said about "refreshing of memory , " nnd that was the signal for another fusillade of argument by the attorneys. Frank's coun sel declared "refreshing of memory" out of order. County Attorney lln * n Surprise. William M. Wheeler , editor of the Wakc- fleld Republican , who was enrolling clerk In the legislature , was examined at the after noon session. He testified that ho saw the bill in question when It came from the ho.use and ho observed that another paper was attached to It. This was supposed to bo the aye and nay vote. Mr. Wheeler was frequently Interrupted by objections on the part of the attorneys and the usual volume of argument took up considerable time. At the close of Mr. Wheeler's testi mony the county attorney sprang a sur prise by announcing that ho wanted the case to go over until Thursday. "I have just learned today , " said the county attorney , "of two witnesses out in the state who are said to be able to swear positively regarding the status of this bill. I am not positively informed as to what these men will swear , but If reports arc true they will bo valuable witnesses for the prosecution and I want the ease postponi-d until I can get them here. " Judge Estello said that the Importance of this case Is such that lie would grant any reasonable request that promises .to . throw- any light upon the mystery that now sur rounds the enactment of the fea bill against which Frank is lighting. So the. hearing was postponed until Thursday. The county attorney did not state the names cf the witnesses he expects , but It Is said that one of thorn Is coming from David City. The defense will also introduce outside tes timony and it now appears that the Frank case may continue until the latter part of the week. SiiJK TO MAKH .IOIX ! i JV 1'AY.

Cottrcll and John Doekhoff fnr the recovery of $3- 758.80 , which It is alleged is due by reason of a contract which Johnson accepted for the building of an amphitheater at the fair grounds. Coltrell and Bockhoff were Johnson's bondsmen. It is said that Johnson was In debted to thcni when ho undertook the con tract and that ho squared accounts with the bondsmen out of the money which ho re ceived from the fair assoslatlon , leaving some of his labor bills unpaid. Ho did not repudiate the debts , but simply lucked funds for the discharge of the obligations.

SCOTTS BLUFF HAS RAILROAD Ilurlliiirton's iKvlciiNlon HUH llciiclicil Tlirlvlnir Town In West ern \cbrnsUn Ncir ( Jcrliiti. With exceptional rapidity for railroad building nt this season of the year the work of extending the branch line of the Burling ton from Northport to Guernsey , Wyo. , Is progressing. The line has been built as far as Scott's HIulT , and the station at this place will bo opened Friday , after which , time the regular operation of trains will begin. Scott's Bluff is about thirty-two miles from Northport , on the north bank of the Platte river , and the completion of the line to this point marks about half the distance from Northport to the Nebraska state Hue , a-nd about one-third the length of the entire proposed lino. Scc'tt's ' Bluff is a town which has been In existence for several years , and despite Its previous lack of railroad facilities has been a thriving business center , having a splendid farming and cattle couiitry tribu tary to it. It is across the river from Coring , quite a prominent town. As rapidly as the now branch Is pushed up the North Platte valley new stations will be opened. There are two more in Nebraska Sunflower and Collins to be pro vided with railroad advantages by the build ing of this branch. Another stall : n. Pratt , will bo located on the Wyoming-Nebraska state line. Hfive Kin-Hal DnUcM. E. D.

T is a good plan for every bather to know something of the soap he uses. There is a well-founded to floor-clean - objection using a - ing soap upon the human body. Ivory Soap is the bather's soap. It costs more than common soaps , but the difference is in the ingredients and making. Why not treat yourself with a little respect. Is not the human skin with its marvellous delicacy entitled to pure soap ? Ivory Soap it floats. BUNSON GIVES HIS OPINION Chief Inspector in Secrat Service Says En velopes Were Tampered With.

The Board of Education Investigating committee resumed Its sittings yester day , but Immediately adjourned uutll to day. Attorney Gained , conducting the Inquiry , was obliged to attend district court , and two of the committee were also occu pied with private business. The testimony regarding the alleged opening and rc-seal- Ing of bids will bo In the form of an affi davit from A. 1) . Bunsou , chief Inspector In the postal secret service at St. Louis. The letters alleged to have been opened were taken to St. Louis by Inspector Sinclair of the Omaha olllce and examined carefully by Bunion , who has the reputation of being the most acute detective In his line in the United States. Bunsen found evidence that three of the proponals were opened and has signed a positive statement to that effect. Tlu- envelopes originally enclosed bids from the Northwestern Slate company , Min neapolis ; the Bangor Slate company , Boston , Pa. , and a Hlate contractor of Slatlugton , Pa. The contract for the three , new bulld- IngK amounted to 8,000 square feet , the cost being in the neighborhood of $2,000. Ueteet- Ivj F. K. Buckminster secured the con tract through the co-operation of Member Cowie , aided in part. It Is said , by informa tion obtained from prcroaturely opened bids. He is now filling the contract and the first car of slate will arrive In a few days. The grounds for the export's opinion re garding the opening of the envelopes are plain even to the uninitiated. Slight smcais are discernible along the edge of the over lapping portion of the envelopes. Muci lage has also been applied beyond the point usual In other envelopes , the Healed portlcn extending to the corners without an inter vening space. Ho.vleH fulled to Ad-omit.
