Era Emery Dye, la "McLoughlla and Old
Oregon: A Chronicle." has written a hb'ory
that !e more entertaining than any historical
coTel. The narrative of the relation ot old
Governor McLoughlla, the Hudson Bay com
pany's agent, to the settlement and found
ing of Oregon reads like a romance. Indeed.
It Is not considered at all as a aatter-ot-fact
account of the pioneering days, for It deals
largely with the history of the many men
and women concerned In the Incidents de
scribed. The author manages to Sad more
seatlment la every aspect of her subject
thaa might haTe been thought possible.
The book Is. In some sort, a memorial aad
It has a timely Interest, for Oregoalans have
lately been honoring the memory of their
old trlcnd, who sadly said Just before he
died: "In my old age I Snd myself a man
without a country. I haTe renounced my
allegiance to Great Britain, now I aa re
jected by the United Sates." A. C. Mc

"Tie Backer and the Bear: a Story of a
Corner In Lard." by Henry K. Webster. !
a new novel from the pen that wrote "The
Shcrt-Llne War." This novel Is a story of
present-day life la Chicago, the scenes of
which are placed partly la society and partly
in the enTironmeat of the Stock exchaage.
The Wiady city, however. Is not mentioned
in the book as the real scene of action. The
author baaj&elzed upon certain possibilities
la constructive narrative which very likely
came to him through actual experience and
has woven a narrative which Is full of ex
citement and suspense. "The Bear" and
the banker are chums. The "Bull" Is finance!
by the banker in the endeavor to run the
"corner" In lard, and the story derives its
title from the necessity found by the "bear"
for the ruin ot bis chum, the banker. In order
to upset the financial schemes of the "bull."

the financial excitement ot the book. The

"The Sword of the KlnR." by Ronald Mac
Donald, Is a stirring Engilsh romance of the
doting years ot the seventeenth, century. It
teems with adventure and hair-breadth es
capes. In all of which the leading part Is
borne by the heroine, Phlllpps Drayton, the
daughter ot an aged baronet who sides with
William ot Orange In his successful contest
for the British throne. The maiden's lover,
who has not laid eyes upon her since she was
a little girl, is at his own home. In attend
ance on the prince, when Phlltppa, dis
guised as a trooper, comes to warn his royal
highness of a plot against bis lite. She saves
the future king by her timely arrival and
the prompt use of her sword, and H re
warded for her gallantry by the gift of the
prince's own weapon to replace the blade
broken In his defense. That she has occa
sion to draw It, the same day, to defend her
self from her unsuspecting lover, illustrates
still further the romantic character ot a
story written with keen appreciation of Its
dramatic possibilities. It Is Interesting; to
know that the author is a son of the Teteran
preacher, poet and novelist. Dr. George Mac-
Donald, and that "The Sword of the Kin;'
is his maiden effort as a writer of romance.

Flora Annie Steel has written a great
deal about India and life la that far-off land
of heat and famine, and written exceedingly
well. Her magazine articles written some
years ago were gems ot their kind. More
recently she published "Oa the Face of the
Waters," a story of the Sepoy rebellion In
India, which deserves a high place In En
glish fiction. It Is one ot the strongest novels
(much of It actual history) that has ap
peared In a long time. "The Flower of
Forgiveness" was also a most readable piece
of fiction. Her latest work, "Voices ia
the Nijht: A Chromatic Fantasia." Is now
at hand in uniform blading, with "On the
Face of the Waters." This latest work
Is also a story ot India and Is possessed ot
charm and fascination all Its own. In
it are found the same Intimate knowledge
of the subject and the same richness ot
description and dramatic power which were
so conspicuous In "On the Face of the
Waters." Mrs. Steel's books are so out of
the ordinary that they are most decidedly
refreshing after the everlasting round ot
everyday sentimental fiction. The Mac

has obtained such a wide audience aa Mr.
Carpenter. Hi letters from South America
were particularly Interesting tor the reason
that there Is so little reliable Information
to be had regarding the countries and peo
ples ot the South, Amf-lcaa continent. The
writer spent a year la South America, dur
ing which time he rlslted the capitals of
the different countries and made long ex
cursions Into the Interior. Mr. Carpenter's
Intimate relationship with the heads ot
government at Washington was ot great
advantage to him, as it gave him letters of

of the farmers. They have enjoyed god

that there Is a feeling of confidence prevail

BICYCLE THIEVES NUMEROUS

Bicycle stealing has become so prevalent
of late that Chief Donahue has found it ex
pedient to detail two detectives to give the
matter their special attention. During the
last two weeks fifteen wheels have been re
ported stolen and nearly all ot them were
high-data machines.
As the property could not be located in
Omaha It was supposed that the thleTes
shipped it out of the city to some "fence" In
Lincoln or other neighboring town of im
portance, but no records of any such ship
ments could be found at the express or
freight offices. The next move waa to can
vais the small places within a radius ot
thirty miles of Omaha. Detectives D rummy
and Mitchell went to a halt dozen or more
villages and finally, in Blair, chanced upon a
batch of nine stolen wheels, several ot which
have been absolutely Identified as belonging
to Omaha persons.
"One cf the tricks of these thieves," said
the chief, "Is to ride a wheel out into the
country ten or fifteen miles and then sell
it to a farm hand for perhaps one-fourth Its
value. They disguise their loot Tery ef
fectively by changing the saddles and han
dle bars and switching the name and num

PRICE OF HORSES IS HIGHER
GtiTtraaieat Unable to Baj Tbm at Lut
April's Figures.
INCREASED DEMAND RESPONSIBLE
.etrakn farmer Maklns a Mistake
in Not Halnlnc Stock Which
Is Demanded fay the
Gov rrnracnt,
That the price of horses has advanced In
a marked degree was shown by the bids
cpetied hy the quartermaster ot the Depart
ment ot the Missouri Monday for the pur
chase of sixty-nine horsce for the artulery
arm cf the service. Tho bids ranged trca
i!44 to I14S a head, being the highest sub
mitted for many years. At the opening of
the bids ia April the successful bidder sold
horses to the government at SHS.&O per
head, la May the price had advanced to S1J4.
Army officials attribute the advaace to the
purchase et horses In this country by th
Engilsh government, as well as to the In
creased demand ot the United States.
Speaking ot the English purchases, one
cf the lo:al army oncers said the horse re
quired by the Engilsh government was not
so good an animal as the one which the
United States government demanded, and
cited a case where, at Sioux City, an
English agent has purchased $.000 bronchos
!a cue bunch and shipped them to South
Africa for the cavalry operating agalast the
Beers. Net oae ot those animals would
have been pasted by a United States" In
spector It was the belief of this officer
th.t the federal government Is making a
mistake ta this, as he remembers that la
,he SlBt Geronlao the rangers
a cavalry mounted on bronchos were able
to cover a auch greater territory tnan
those aounted upoa American horsce of
United States standard of weight, fora and
condition.
Farmer Maklnc a Mlatnke.
"The horse raisers of Nebraska," con
tinued this o3er. "are aaking a great
aistake 1n not breeding horses which would
be accepted by the government, for it af
fords a constant market tor fair itoek. At
prteat we are farced to go to Missouri
and Kentucky for our horses, while the
Nebraska raiser Is trying to sell his heavy
farm hone or his light roadster for less
thaa we are paying for stock which re
quires Ires care than the latter and can
be produced at less errense than ths
foraer, when we consider the Importation
of stock froa Europe to renew the strain."
The bids for the 3.000.000 pounds of cats
were such as to leave room for doubt as to
the acceptance of any bids. The price was
higher than at the last bidding and the
bids were so hedged around lth conditions
that they were sent to Washington for con
sideration. Special orders In reference to the disposi
tion ot troops were Issued yeoterday even
ing by the adjutant general ot the depart
ment as tolloas:
Th Deoot sauadron. Fifth United State

FAULT IS FOUND WITH FOX
Administrator Called to Account for
Over Forty Thousand Dollars ot

In an opinion handed down yesterday
County Judge Vlnsonhaler picks serlcui
fiaws In the conduct ot Philip Fox, admin

erty waa approximately J'.0.500.
Mr. Fcx has spent the last few years In

charge,
He claimed that he had disbursed
the property according to law and was entl
tied to a credit of 111". He asked to be dls
missed as administrator. Judge Vlnson

however, and held that Instead of a credit
Fex should be charged with H0.41S. The

HOW TO ECONOMIZE.
OME men economize so closely on the
number of words
receiver cannot understand it. This is not
sensible economy. Neither is it sensible
economy to ruin garments of value with cheap
soap or powerful chemicals that eat into the fabric
True economy uses Ivory Soap in the laundry.
It is the most of pure soap that can be sold for the
money. Chemically it is as innocent as water. Yet
it docs everything you can ask of a soap. Try it !

The county commissioners had an audi

Ralph, at which the erection of tn

has no right In the premises and has never
secured the beard's permission to me the
ground. It Is simply a squatter.
Dr. Ralph said that the wards now main

missioners were' wholly Inadequate. The
buildings are literally falling to pieces, he
said, and during the ccvr rain ct Sunday

heavy rains an attendant makes shift to

Dr. Ralph believes patients would perish
from the cold.
One commissioner suggested that the city
might build an emergency boipltal on the
county grounds at a safe distance from the
present hcspltal. He Intimated that the
county might trade aufilclent land for the
purpose for the farm recently purchased
by the city on west Center street. Other
commissioners, however, did not approve of

MAGGIE O'SHEA IS FOUND
Has Been Itevrllns Amid riaeollc
Scenes Far from the Mad
drnlnc Cronil,
Miss Maggie O Shea, who disappeared from
her home, 1J11 Davenport street, nearly four
neeks ago, has been found, and that she was
sot found sooner was due to the tact that
the family with whom she was staying are
cot subscribers to a newspaper. Night and
day since June 29. while the male members
cf her family have been beating the brash
In the Omaha suburbs and the female mem
bers have been wringing their hands In de
spair Maggie has been swinging In a ham
mock and reveling In a luxury of rural re
pose at the home of an old-time friend, Mrs.
Hanna Fltrgerald of Kauffman Station. Ia.
Meanwhile, scarcely a day has passed that
the Omaha papers have not contained men
tion of the missing girl. Policemen, detec
tives, newspaper reporters and parties have
been making the welkin ring in their quest
for the runaway and all this time t-e Fitz
gerald household, far from the madding
throng, serene In Its Isolation and bllisfully
ignorant of what the outside world was
doing, has harbored her as a guest It hap
pened, however, that one of the neighbors
takes a paper. He saw an account ct the
girl's disappearance and communicated the
fact to the Fitzgeralds. And that ts how it
came about that Maggie was restored to the
bosom of her family.
"I was seized with a sudden desire to fiee
to the country." said she In explanation. "I
yearned for the fields, the woods, the bab
bling b recks and the glad, free life that Is
far beyond the city noises. I didn't dare
say anything about It for fear they wouldn't
let me go, so I put on my hat and started,
and that's all there Is about It,"
Hereafter, at the home of her sister. Mrs.
Patrick Lahey. Maggie will be under strict
surveillance.
