Frank Norrls, who Is quite well known
to tlio rending public ns tho nuthor of
"Illlx" and "McTeaguc." has published an
other romance with tho title, "A Man's
Woman." The novel was completed about Krance, where there lives an eccentric gen
a year ago and suut to tho -printer In Oc- ; t'emnn who rejoice In tho name of tho
tober. After tho plates had been mado It I count of Kleramondl. Tho count live!
was learned that a play bcnrlnu the same I separated from tho countess. The only
tltlo had been written bv Mrs. Crawford 1
Floxner and that tho tltlo had been copy-
righted. As It was Impossible to change '
tho nnmo ot tho novel nt the time this
notice was received. It has been published
under Its original title. Tho story opens
with nn account of a party, shipwrecked on
tho ico in the far north, (struggling to
teach Wrangcl Island and safety. The suf
ferings nnd privations of that terrible march
are told In n most vivid manner, rivaling
tho most realistic accounts of tho latter
day Arctic explorer. Tho little party is
under the command of Captain Hennctt, n
man of strong personality, but somewhat
brutal by nature. Ulchnrd Forrlss, tho
chief engineer of tho expedition and tho
second In command, is a man cast In a
softer mold. When tho last of tho pro
visions wero consumed and death by starv
ation was staring them in the fare, n small
fleet of whalers was sighted and the rem
nant of tho party rescued, but not until
Engineer Ferris had both hinds frozen so
badly that amputation bcranio necessnry.
Following this chapter of horrors comes
the love story ot tho plot. Tho captain
nnd tho engineer wero In love with tho
same girl, Lloyd Searlght, a wealthy heir
ess, who Improved tho tlnio that her lovers
wero In tho far north to found a nurses'
home. On tho return of the explorers
Knglnecr Ferris was taken with a severe
attack of fever nnd nuruod by Lloyd Sea
rlght, but her care was unavailing nnd the
patient failed to recover. With one lover
disposed of thoro was nothing else for her
to do but to marry tho cnptuln, who, even
In his lovo affairs, shows his brutal dls
vosltlnn. Tho story closes with tho du
parturo of tho captain on a second expedi
tion to tho far north. This Btory differs
absolutely from anything that Norrls has
written, but tho hero has somo qualities
akin to McTcague. Two specialties Norrls
hn mastered for this work. Ono Is Arctic
exploration, nnd tho other tho life of tho
female trained nurse. Into both he has put
so much of dramatic power that ho forces
tho reader to sco as clearly his explorers
battling with tho elements In tho frozen
north us tho expert nurse lighting with all
tho aid of science for tho llfo of a patient.

Dr. Mitchell's now story. "The Autobiog
raphy of .i Quark," 13 a fresh Illustration
of tho facility of tho descent to hell. The
rogue, who Is supposed to have told this
talo of his llfo whllo lying 111 In a Hoston
hospital, meant to destroy tho manuscript
on his recovery, but died Just ns it was
completed. Ho had undertaken tho task
as a diversion, -when "reading and whit
tling" palled upon him, and tho value o!
tho narratlvo lies In tho perfect frnnknoMS
of tho patient's sclf-rcvclatlon of character.
Merely as a story of adventure, "Thn Auto
biography of a Quack" easily Justllles Its
existence, but Its main Interest Is psycho
logical. It Is a remarkable exposition of
tho montal processes by whlch-a man born
without moral sciu,c seeks to Justify hlnuclf j
In tho dovlces by which ho seeks to get what
ho regards ns his share, of tho money of his
countrymen. "I bnvo always observed," ho
Tcmarks, "that thcro Is no poverty so pain
fur an your own, so thnt I prefer to dis
tribute pecuniary buffering among many,
rnther than to concontrato It on myself."
An unsympathetic world falls to appreciate
this somewhat selfish point of view, nnd
with occasional Intervals of prosperity, the
quack's career tends steadily and Inevitably
downward. Pound up with tho "Autobiog
raphy of Ezra San-'crnft" Is "Tho Strange
Caso of Oeorgo Dcdlww" a professedly au
tobiographical record of tho cxperlenco of nn
nrmy'surgeon who has lost all his limbs by

In "Captain Dieppe," Mr. Anthony Hope
tells you every now and then that "a little
more explanation Is necessary." Perhaps
for tho better understanding of tho story
other clews to ho found In other romances
would have to bo read. Captain Dieppe Is
tho happy-go-lucky man who always falls
on his feet. Ho lands nt some village In

ent The adaptation of tho Scandinavian
nnd Russian Ideas to the cxIgeucltH of Anglo-Saxon
condition. In Ontario and other
Canadian provinces tho American High
school system Is likely to displace the Brit
ish system. Tho Ontario minister of edu
cation Is frank enough to admit that "the
American is Immeasurably superior to the
English system, which calls for tuition fees.
To shut out the poorer classra from the
High schools is a relic of an undemocratic
age." The same notion Is making progress
In tho United Kingdom. The Congregational
ministers, under tho leadership of Dr.
J. H. Hallowell, want Great Ilritaln to
adopt tho American Idea of free schools
under public control, Instead of the mixed
system of state supported public and paro

SHERIFF IS AN EARLY RISER
Tartu Oat of Bad Abruptly to LooV After
South Omaha Election,
APPEALS TO COURTS AND IS TURNED DOWN
.Indue linker Deelnre Unit Sheriff
I'iniiT Hint o Itlulit to Interfere
u llli Kl.-ctlon Mollification
of lie itriilnliiu; Order,
Sheriff John Power was up with the lark
ytsterdny, ns tho old story goes. When
the courts opened ho was beforo Judge Key
sor with an application for modification of
nn order which was Issued Monday night re
straining him from Illegal Interference with
the South Omnha municipal election yester
day. Thht restraining order was secured on
application of A. R. Kelly and Frank
Kotitsky of South Omaha. They arrived
nt tho court house too Into to securo the
attention of either of the equity Judges,
to which court division their caso belonged,
so Judge linker of tho criminal bench was
pressed Into service. The phlntlffs set
forth that Sheriff Power had arranged to
have a large forco of special deputy sheriffs
stationed at the nlno polling places ln
South Omnhu and thnt ho had boasted that
ho would rulo South Ominha to his own lik
ing on election day. The petitioners prayed
that the sheriff be restrained from Inter
ference. Judge linker grouted a temporary
writ, making It returnable yesterday before
Judge Dlcklnon of the equity court. Judge
Dickinson wns ill, nnd the caso was taken
before Judge Keysor. He declared thnt
ho would send tho hearing to Judge Hakor,
Inasmuch ns ho was moro familiar with tho
Issues involved, ho having Issueil tho
orlglnnl order.
A criminal case on trial before Judge
Hakor wns sidetracked and tho election mat
ter was taken up. Prominent attorneys
appeared as oppojlng counsel. Tho sheriff's
lawyer set forth that the restraining order
would prohibit the execution of warrants ln
South Omaha on election day, and as tho
sherllf nsserted thnt he held a number of
warrants for certain parties charged with
Illegal registration. Ills attorney argued that
he could only servo them by appearing nt
tho polling place and making arrests as tho
accused responded to tho names under which
they registered.
This argument was ln support of applica
tion fur mcdlllcatlon ot tho restraining order
tho sheriff wanted It modified so us to
iHUiinlt him to havo full sway under tho
gulso of serving warrants.
Counsel for Messrs. Kelly and Kotitsky
set forth that evn if tho sheriff had oc
casion to arrest alleged registration viola
tors, It was not necessary for him to Bwear
In an army of special deputies. Ills regu
lar force, the plaintiffs declared, wns equal
to any emergency that might arise unless
there be a request from Mayor Elisor for
help.
MiiKor's Aflldnvlt.
Several affidavits supported tho position
taken by the plaintiffs. Ono of these was
from Mayor Ensor, a democrat, who set
forth that In his opinion the pollco fcrcc
of South Omaha wn3 amply aule to preserve
order. Messrs. Kelly and Koutsky regarded
tho policy of the sheriff nn nn attempt to
Intimidate voters, and this theory was
verified' by ailldavlrs relating a conversation
In which Sheriff Power Is said to have in
dulged when he visited South Omaha Mon
day afternoon.
Tho sheriff at republican headquarters In
formed Mr. Kelly and others that ho would
be In South Omaha election day to see that
everything was properly conducted and that
If tho republicans wanted anybody arrested
for fraudulent work he would act Impar
tially. Mr. Kelly responded that ho be
lieved South Omaha was ablo to take care
of itself, and that he would advise the
sheriff to remain at homo until called for.
To this Sheriff Power replied thnt he wos
tho sheriff of Douglas county, and that ho
did not propose to bit frightened out of his
Jurisdiction. It Is said that be nlso hunted
for Mr. Carpenter, manager of the re
publican city campaign, but falling to find
him, left a message to the effect
(hat deputy sheriffs would control
South Omahn. It was such declarations as
theso that led Messrs. Kelly and Koutsky
to take action In the courts.
Judge Haker listened patiently to tho
arguments, which wero long and tedious.
At tho rloso ho modlliod tho order to the
extent that tho sheriff might go to South
Omnha to serve bona fide warrants for fraud
ulent registration, tho same ns for any other
offonse, but that ho should not carry blank
warrants with the nano of "John Doe," or
othor subterfuge: that in tho appointment
of special deputies ho should eliminate all
residents of South Omaha, and that the
number should bo restricted to absolute
necessity. It was nlso stipulated that all
arrests, If nny, should bo made as quietly us
possible, and that neither the sheriff nor
any of tho deputies should have anything
to say regarding tho relntivo merits of can
didates. In short, Sheriff Power was restricted, by
order of court, from taking a partisan hnnd
In tho election.
An effort wns mado to ascertain tho num
ber of alleged violators for whom warrants
worn issued, but tho Information was not
forthcoming. Neither would tho sheriff
divulge the names of defendants nor of the
deputies. It was known, however, that the
, sheriff's special deputies wero all of South
Omaha, but slnco tho restraining order has
bi'cn Ibsued tho list had to bo entirely
changed.
Sherllf Power w.13 p. spectator ln court
during tho healing. Ho nppeared to bo ex
cited, nnd frequently held whiskered con
sultations with his nttorney.
In rendering his decision, Judgo Haker
said: "Tho sheriff has enough to do with
out going out to seek business. Let him
executo warrants that nro given to him.
Tliero aro crimes com'nlttod In tho neigh
borhood of the court houto every day, nnd
I don't sco tho sheriff hurrying out to sup
press them. I am a crank for fair elections,
