No better example of a novel which re
flects what Is good and leaves untouched
what Is spurious In historical fiction could
well bo cited than Mr. Owen Johnson's
"Arrows of tho Almighty," a story which,
though retrospective in its sotting, Is both
simple and vital, both sincere and fervent.
The story is, first nnd laet, a picture of
American life; it contains no foreign dilu
tions; all Its characters aro American born
and bred. Tho scene shifts between a fow
states only: Maryland, Connecticut, Ohio
and New York. In tlmo tho action covers,
Including prologue, but fifty years, begin
ning In tho early '20s and closing In tho '70s,
a period which, on one side, embraces the
fading colonialism and, un the other,
reaches well Into tho strenuous commer
cialism of the century Just passed. The
action begins with humor and spirit, show
ing how Emily Orkney mnkes her debut
at ,a ball In Bnltlmore, routs the older
belles and Imprisons the nffectlons of Hurry
Gaunt, one of tho chief figures of the hour.
After a short residence In Baltimore the
couple move to Hello River, on the eastern
shore of Maryland, whero some ten years
later the scene reopens with a characteris
tic card party at Wlndrlft, the family home
stead. Here aro Introduced Dr. Magog,
Captain Urnce, Colonol Spott, Cousin Dob
Troutman and. as a lad of 12 or 13, John
Gaunt, subsequently the hero. During suc
ceeding pages tho progression Is rapid
and tho unfolding of plot and motive ab
sorbing. Whllo his father, already shat
tered by the morphine habit, grows weaker,
John dovolops In strength of body and
mind. The most appealing pnssnges are
perhaps John's awakening to consciousness
the dawning of his bouI and tho death
of Emily Gaunt, both episodes bolng full
of touching, poignant beauty. Tho Mnc.mll

"Tho Wilderness Boad: A Romance of
Bt. Clair's Defeat and Wayne's Victory," Is
by J. A. Altsholler, author of "In Circling
Camps," which wns received ln9t year with
many marks of favor. Mr. Altsheller, pic
tures tho most thrilling scenes of the
movement for expanflon, when nt the end
of tho eighteenth century tho men of Ken
tucky and tho old frontier woro pushing
westward and northward to gain now terri
tory. He skotches tho division of nn em
pire before It wns won, tho ndvance of
trained soldiers nnd their terrible fate in
the wilderness and tho subsequent stirring
campaign which secured the new country.
His hero, n soldier with a romantic his
tory, which keeps tho reader In suspense,
plays with St. Clair n pnrt not unlike that
which Washington acted with Brnddock. A
fascinating story of lovo and aspiration
runs throughout the vivid scenes on tho
frontier and In the wilderness. The win
ning of tho heroine by dauntless courage
and self-surrender forms a series of vivid
and dramatic pictures which nbeorb the
reader's Interest throughout. D. Apple

"A Danker of DankorvHIo" Is one of the
earlier works of Maurice Thompson, author
of, "Alice of Old Vlnccnncs." Two men
and a maid aro tho central figures. The
woman Is tho daughter of a minister, one
of tho men is an unrepentant rebel who has
como up Into tho north and complacently
hung out his shlnglo with n view to com-
pctlng with tho loyal mon before a loyal
publlo In Indiana for tho emoluments of
professional life. Too other Is a typical
western hustler to whom all things are
easy, but whose elastic consclcnco permits
him to use methods that nro. not exactly
straight business. With such material
Mnurico Thompson evolved an "tnlncntly
readable book nnd one that will .ank with
his best work. One of the thrilling 'situ-
ntlons In this capital story Is where tho
swindler of Dankerjvllle Is In tho hands of
Judge Lynch nnd a rope Is dangling before
him. with tho utmost coolness no leaps
upon the balcony of his prison, calls the
howling mob cowards and talks to them
wlth tho self-possession ot n man who is

W. O. Hartqutst of Lincoln, a brakoman
In the employ of the Burlington railroad,
was killed by a freight train In the Omaha
yards Thursday evening at 7:15 o'clock.
The only witness of (he. accident was W.
H. Manchester, a fellow employe, who
states that Hartqulst was attempting to
mount the front platform of tho caboose.
The rain was being shoved by switch en
gine No. 217, in chargo of Engineer C. N.
Rutherford, Tho engine was Immediately
behind the caboose. As Hartqulst starteJ
to step upon the platform he missed his
hold upon the handrail and his foot slipped,
throwing htm under the front wheels of
tho raboose. Deforo the train could be
stopped the car nnd the engino paiscd over
him, mangling him In n horrible manner
nnd producing Instant death.
The body was Immediately removed to
tho office of the coroner and the friends
of the dead man In Lincoln communlcntcl
with. The Inquest over tho rcmnlns will be
held this afternoon.
The run upon which Hartqulst wns killed
was not his regular duty, as he would have
laid over In Omaha last night, but half
an hour before his death he consented to
take the place of tho regular brakemnn
on that train, which was tho first section
of freight train No. 23.

South Omaha Neys
City Clerk Shrlglcy Is In receipt of a
communication from S. A. Thompson, sec
retary of tho Board of Trade at Wheeling
W. Vn asking for n copy of the new char
ter of South Omaha. Mr. Thompson goes
on to say that Wheeling Is preparing a
new charter and desires to profit by tho
experience of other cities In the matter of
charter building. Although Wheeling has
a population of 39,000 some, of tho Ideas In
tho new South Omaha charter may bo used,
Just hero is where the city Is lame, for
no nttempt has been made by the. municipal
authorities to have tho charter as adopted
by the legislature printed. This has often
been talked of, but on account of tho ox
pense and the precarious condition of tho
city funds at this time it has been thought
best to get along without n printed charter
until such tlmo as tho session laws are
published.
When Mayor Kelly was shown the com
munlcatlon from Secretary Thompson yes
terday he stated that steps should at once
bo tnken to have the new charter printed
In pamphlet form In order to be able to
send copies to cities requesting tho same
Further, he said that moro than likely
200" or 300 copies might bo sold to business
men. attorneys and others and to bond
buyers. This matter Is to bo taken up and
the printing committee will be asked to
ascertain the probable expense of printing
500 copies of the charter. Even 1,000
copies could bo used to good advantage, ns
calls aro made dally for Information con-
tallied In tho charter. As It Is now, only
n fow revised conies are In existence, and
theso have been mado by Councilman Ed
Johnston, the alterations having been writ-
ten In with pencil, the printed copy of
house roll No. 156 being used as a text.
"A copy of tho charter should be in the
hands of ovcrv c tv offlo al." sa d a mem
heP the council yesterday, "and the
matter of nrlntlne tho document should
not bo delayed, ns questions are constantly
COnilng up in which It Is necessary to refer
to tho charter."

Money In I-11 nil.
Plumbing Inspector Gook has rocom
monded several times that flush tanks be
located at the head of a number of sewers
to work automatically and keep the sewers
In good condition. When the last recora
mondatlon was made the council laid the
1 matter aside until the levy to be made thl
year Is available. Slnco the last council
meeting Inspector Cook has discovered that
thero Is l" In the special sewer fund
which can be used for this purpose pro
viding the council authorizes the transfer.
Only recently the city spent considerable
money In cleaning towers and ns flush
tanks will cost only nbout $50 each It will,
Mr. Cook says, bo cheaper In the end to
erect tho tanks than to clean the sewers
periodically.
Laborer- Seiirec,
Thero seems to bo a general complaint
nbout the scarcity of labor. Those who cm-
ploy men In this vicinity say that it is
hard to secure help to carry on building
and other operations. For some time past
very few Idle men are to be found on tho
streets and this goes to show that tho de
mand for labor really exceeds the supply.

quenco Is that the employes of the packing

Accident ihcorj- U All-
iinccd,
Dr. Gcorgo S. Nasou, a promising young
dentist ot Omaha, committed sulcido nt his
home, ,2507 Farnam street, early Thursday
evening by shooting himself through tho
head with n pistol. Death resulted almost
Instantly. There was no 0110 lu tho house
nt tho time, save Mrs, Nnson, who, hear
ing tho mulllcd report ot the pistol, rushed
upstairs and found her husband lying lu
a pool ot blood upon the bed.
Dr. Nasou had been helping to enter

who wcro nttcndlng tho convention of tho
Nebraska Stnto Dentnl association, ami

Whllo thero ho telephoned to his wife tu

He arrived n few minutes after thl
hour, admitted himself with his lntchkcy
nnd went nt onco to his sleeping apartment
oil the BCiond Moor. No ono snw htm enter,
'though his wife, who was busy In 0110 of
tho downstairs rooms, says sho heard him
unlock tho front door. Sho stepped to tho
foot of the stairs and called to him. There
wns 110 answer, but a few seconds later
she heard the report of u pistol. The sound
was indistinct, however, and seemed to
como from 11 considerable, distance. It did
not occur to her to connect it In any way
with her husbund. Again she called, waited
a moment, and then climbed the stairs to
tho bedroom.
Mm. .Ninon Ilccomi't. I iicoiircIiiun.
Tho neighbors, henrlng Mrs. Nnson
teremn, rushed into tho housu 11 ml found
her unconsclouu upon tho lloor. The at
mosphere of the room wns still heavy with
tho smoko of tho pistol. The deud man,
fully dressed, wns lying upon his buck
011 tho bed, his feet resting on the lloor,
his nrtnu extended besldo him. Ills hend
was in a pool of blood. Just over his right
temple wnb a rngged wound from which the
blood still trickled nnd In tho wall nt tho
head of thn bed was n white Indention,
marking the spot where the bullet had
struck and glanced after passing through
his head. Tho bullet .vn found later upon
tho gory cotintcrpano and besldo It wns the
quaint, old-fashioned pistol from which it
had been fired.
A doctor was called, but he could do llt
tlo more thnn to pronounce the mnn dead.
Later tho coroner, nn undertaker and sov
ornl members ot the Elks lodgo, of which
tho deceased had been a member, were
summoned.
Ilcntli Coiur t(ulvkly.
Tho doctor mode an examination of the
wound nud found thnt tho bullet hnd pro
duccd a compound fracture ot tho skull.
Death, he said, must havo followed within
a few seconds of tho tlmo the shot was
fired.
The coroner took chargo of tho pistol It

nnd Is of n pattern not often seen nowadays,
hnvlng, In pluce of n cylinder, ono bnrrel

shots without reloading.
No .Motltt! for Suicide-.
Dr. Nnson left no nolo and, so far as
known, said no word to anyone of his In
tentlou. Thoso who were with him said he
appeared to bo in his usual spirits during
tne uay. Appearances seem to lndlcato
that ho went nt onco to his room nfter
reaching tho house, took tho pistol from tbo
dresser drawer, sat down upon the bed and
shot himself. There nro thoso nmong his
incuus wno nenovo tnnt tno shot was not
fired with suicidal Intent. It must 'have
been an accident, they say, and point out
that ho could havo had no motive for the
deed.
He was prosperous In n professional way.
nis domestic rotations wore happy and his
temperament wns uniformly buoyant, ihey
say.

NINE BOYS AND SEVEN GIRLS
Sixteen llrnnd Xow Infnntu Added to
the Clty'a l'opnlatlon In Twenty
Four Ilonra.
Sixteen births ln twenty-four hours Is not
a bad record for a city tho size of Omaha.
Such Is tho birth record reported by tho
city health commissioner for the twenty
four hours ending nt noon Thursday.
If tho population were to Increase, nt this
rato during tho 365 days of tho year tho
totnl number of new Omahana would be
5,840. Granting that the city has n popu
lation of only 102,000, tho rate of Increaso
would bo almost 6 per cent.
Another unusucl fonture of the birth list
for the twenty-four hours mentioned is thnt
boys numbered nine nnd girls seven. If this
ratio of male to female children were to
keep up Omaha would become a Mecca for
unmarried womon ln a fow years. Girl ba
bies outnumber the boys the world over,
but Omaha does not seem to bo In need of
Dr. Schenck and his methods ot regulating
sex.
The new arrivals were scattered all over
the city. The names of tho parents show
that tho children havo a varied ancestry.
Nielsen and Mortenscn are two names that
smack of Denmark. Bohemia is probably
represented ln Hamcrnlk. Englehart must
bo an Inheritance from n German fore
father. Endres suggests France and tho
other names ln tho list might belong to
families which trace their ancestry back to
almost any of tho European countries.
