"Quality Corner" by C. I.. Antrobus Is
n fctudy of humanity In a quaint out-of-thc-vny
bit of the world that will appeal to
the Insatiate novel render nnd to the more
thoughtful alike. Mrs. Antrobus shows the
hand of the artist In tho skillful working
out of her plot, her sympathetic character
ization, her delicate balancing of Joy nnd
sorrow; while tho descriptions of quaint
peoplo and places, the bright touches of
iiumor, make moro vivid by contrast the
dramatic cpltodcs of the plot. It Is not a
book to rcuil and to forget but to read
and to remember and to think of. G. 1'.

CHAPTEH HI.
This Is n story of people who foil In
love by mall.
Louis E. Dredge of Shenandoah, la., had n
comfortable homo which had not been en
livened for many months by tho sound of
woman's voice. He was lonesome. Ho had
a successful harness business nnd a good In
como, nnd could see no reason why there
should not bo a Mrs. Louis E. Drcdgo.
Thrco weeks ago ho advertised In Tho
Bee for a wifo. Among tho flood of replies
which camo to him was n llttlo purple noto
from Mrs. C. J. Merrltt of 222 North Nine
teenth street, Omaha.
Thcro was something nbout that noto
which won the harness dealer's heart. It
didn't look like tho other notes and it hnd a
tono that nppealed to him.
The next Omaha train which Icfl Shen
andoah brought Mr. Dredge to tho writer of
the purple note. Sho was a comely young
widow who looked as though sho would be
a good home-maker.
Xmv Come the Conqueror.
Mrs. Merrltt was quito surprised when
tho answer to her letter camo In boots.
It was nil so sudden that sho would not
listen to n proposal and begged for tlmo
to think tho matter over.
Then followed an Interchange of refer
ences and n revlow of family histories thnt
would have dono credit to tha Daughters of
tho Revolution. Mr. Dredge mado several
Hying trips to Omaha and forgot all nbout
the condition of the corn crop over In south western
Iowa.
"Yes," wo3 the answer which ho finally
won from tho widow. Hut she Insisted that
she must have time to prepare her trous
seau and suggested that the wedding be sot
for Christmas, or Thanksgiving at tha
earliest.
That empty homo over at Shenandoah
haunted tho harness donlcr. He explained
that there was no sense In such delay.
Manlike, ho didn't appreciate what a tug-of-war
thero was to be with milliners and
dressmakers.
Hut he succeeded In advancing tho wed
ding from November to July. Monday night
ho and Mrs. Merrltt were quietly mar
ried at the bride's home. Hev.'Charles II.
Young of St. John's Episcopal church read
tho service which brought tho brief court
ship to such a happy ending.
Hnnk to Shenuiidniih.
Mr. and Mrs. Drcdgo left for Shenan
doah last evening, looking Just as happy
as a young couplo which has gono through
thrco years of courtship before Investing
In it marriage license.
Mr. Dredge Is rated Al In commercial
agency reports nnd Is reputed to bo one
of tho most solid citizens of. peaceful
Shenandoah. Tho brldo Is highly esteemed
among her Omaha acquaintances,
And tho chances are they'll live happily
ever afterwards Just because ho put that
want "ad" In.

Its tone nnd substance satisfy the min

formulated by the United States special
commissioner, Mr. Rockhlll, as a condi
tion of peace.
Tho edict declares that foreign affairs will
hereafter bo tho most Important business

that previously outranked It and provides
for the reception of tho ministers In the
hall, In which hereafter only near rela

quets. Tho German minister, Dr. Mumm von
Schwarzenstelu, Is engaged in drafting a
protocol providing for tho punishment of
Chinamen guilty of participation In tho
Hoxcr movement. A featuro of this Is
that tho number of culprits has dwindled

WHY KENNAN LEFT RUSSIA
Nt. Petersburg Correspondent Snjn the
IteiiNon Con Only He Ills Former
Criticism.
LONDON, July 30. Mail ndviccs re
ceived here from the correspondent
of tho Associated Press at St. Petersburg
give details of the expulsion from Russia
of George Kcnnau, the American author
nnd lecturer, who, ns cabled exclusively
to tho Associated Press on Friday last, was
called upon ot his hotel nt St. Petersburg
Thursday evening and wns Informed by a
high police otneer that he must leave the
country by 10 o'clock Friday evening. Mr.
Kcnnan was courteously treated, but was
not allowed to leave his room In the
Interim. His expulsion was carried out
quietly. Ho was provided with a traveling
passport, signed by tho chief of the po
litical police, and boarded n train for
Wlrballcn, accompanied by an escort. Ills
own passport was returned to him on his
arrival nt Wlrballcn. Tho correspondent
then says:
"Mr. Konnan arrived la, St. Petersburg
three weeks ago, after an absence of flftoen
years. Hn entered the country by way of
Finland on nn American passport, which
had been examined and signed by tho Rus
sian consul at Hull. Since his arrival
hero Mr. Kennon had rencwod his old nnd
pleasant acquaintances and hnd collected
literary material. Ho was not engaging
In any political agitation. The Russian
press referred to Mr. Kennan courteously,
no paper suggesting that ho was not wel
come, and ho began to fcol secure. At
about 6 o'clock Thursday evening a high
poltco official placed him under detention
In his room and read a notice requiring
Mr. Kennnn's departure by 10 o'clock Fri
day night.
"Thero Is only one explanation for Mr.
Kennnn's oxpulHlon nnd thnt Is that tho
Russian government haa not recovered
from tho effects of his criticisms of tho
Siberian cxllo system, which has been
greatly modified and restricted slnco Mr.
Kennan first wrote about It. His expul
sion was simply n question of policy, which
has not affected the personal attitude ot
old friends toward Mr. Kennan, who was
Invited to places where the highest gov
ernmental officials woro present.
"A responsible official of tho press de
partment of tho ministry said to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press on Mr.
Kcunan's arrival: 'I do not think that any
body here doubts Mr. Kcnnan'n good faith.
Wo believe he made an honest and sin
cere Investigation of our prison exile sys
tem; that he was misled by those he
trusted and was often Imposed upon. His
prospective wns wrong. One can give a
bad Impression of nny country If one se
lects tho most repulsive subjects to write
about. Practically, I think Mr. Kennan's
book did a great deal of good. Our press
Is now allowed to discuss the conditions
of exllo with n freedom not dreamed of
several years ago. The shameful conditions
prevailing on tho Island nf Sakhallcu wcro
lately exposed courageously by a St. Peters
burg newspaper and tho worst abuses havo
been corrected.' "
Mr. Konnan Is going to London and
thenco he will go to Nova Scotia.
FLEECE THEPARISIAN LAMBS
Swindlers nnd Ciirdnlinrii Discovered
to Have Mnde ThniisuiidN On
Ainiibur Giuulilers.
PARIS, July 30. Tho police hero have
unearthed a gang ot turf swindlers and
enrdsharks whoso operations were char
acterized by extraordinary audacity. The
first discovery was mado at the end of
May when a horse named Collmacon (the
snail) and known as a worthless plater,
won a race at Colombes, easily, with the
betting 12 to 1 against tho horso. A week
later Collmacon engaged In a similar per
formance at Malsons-Lamtte. The Jockoy
club Investigated the running of Collmacon
and found that a first-class English race
horso had been substituted for tho ori
ginal Collmacon by a Helglan named
Heroboudt, who had previously been
warned olf the French race courses, The
pollco then took the matter up and dis
covered that Hereboudt was tho head of
a perfect organization of crooks working
In France and Ilelglum, A mnlorlty of
tho members of the gang had assumed
high sounding titles and frequented fast
circles and clubs. One member, n brother
of a woll-knnwn Abyssinian explorer who
styled himself "Count," was arrested. Two
others were self-styled barons aud ono
had given himself the title of "Prince,"
They occupied sumptuous apartments In
tho Champs Elysee aud Madelnlne quarter
to which thoy Inveigled glided youths and
swindled them at baccarat. The leases ot
Prince Ksrageoggovltch and three other
young men of good families, who complained
to tho pollco, alono amounted to 370,000
francs. The swindlers owned a yacht
called the Westermlne, or. board of which
their" dupes wero Invited and were sub
sequently plucked, The pollco also traced
to the gang the promotion of n number of
fictitious mining companies. The In
vestigations of the police led to the flight
of the swindlers. Several of them have
gone to Abyssinia. Hereboudt sailed for
Holland on board the Westermlne. The
revelations havo caused n sensation In
club-land and sporting circles.
WANT TO LYNCH DIRECTORS
Receiver of Stnnilnrd Ki1orn tlon
Coniinn- fayn I'tind Are Lost
In Ppecnlntlnn.
LONDON, July 30. At the first meet
ing of tho creditors today and nt sub
sequent meetings of the shareholders of the
Standard Exploration company one of the
mining concerns known as the "Whlttaker
Wright Group" the official receiver mado
such astounding revelations that he drew
from the excited shareholders demands for
tho lynching of the persons Implicated.
Tho receiver said that tho estimated as
sets were farcical. Tho fourteen mines,
valued nt $717,000 had earned nothing.
The company started with n cash capital of
500.000, but tho directors took little In
terest In the compnny's mines and devoted
themselves to stock exchange speculation,
"nnd that's where your money Is gone,"
said tho receiver. Two hundred
and twenty thousand pounds was
lost In differences In Lake Erie
speculations nnd 255,000 was lost In
differences in Caledonian copper. The
total profits from speculations are 33,000
and the losses arc 536.000,"
After a fow more such statements, which
a shareholder sold, would "stagger human
ity" another shareholder Rsked the re
ceiver to prevent the directors from mak
ing away with their proporty as it was re
ported they nro doing.
"Aro these men still at large?" shouted
another shareholder. "Yes, they arc,"
came, the answer nnd Immediately thoso
present nt the meeting rose to their feot,
somebody shouting lynch htm."
It was an exciting moment for Lord Pol-ham-Cltnton,
General Cough-Calthorpo and
others, who wcro nttendlng tho meeting.
A storm of nngry cries nnd hisses broke out,
but tho receiver finally succeeded In
cnlmlng tho shareholders by promising
them every protection possible.

NEWPORT, R, I., July 30. At a meeting
of the captains of the New York Yacht
club today It was voted to disband the
fleet tonight. Yachtsmen generally were
discussing yesterday's race and nearly
everyone now has nrrlved nt the conclusion
that Constitution Is not only In poor tune,
but that P. Is actually slower than when It
raced Columbia and Independence two
weeks ago. It was pointed out today that
In tho last race of the Newport series, dur
ing which Independence broke down, tho
wind was almost the same strength ns
yesterday, yet Constitution sailed the ton-
mile leg to windward several seconds faster
than Columbia, Yesterday, In tho eighteen
mile bent to windward, Columbia. was over
two minutes faster than Constitution.
It v.is this poor showing on the part
of the new boat that prompted Mr. Dun
ran to decline to race further until Con
stttutlon's rigging had been changed.
UR1STOL, R. I., July 30. Illllman, the
rigger, arrived from Uoston today and be
gnn rigging the purchases and laying out
tho standing rigging for the new steel
mainmast of Constitution, In accordance
with the plans to give tho craft moro pesk
and lets flow to tho mainsails leech and
also to reduco the weather helm feature.
In about ten days It' Is expected Constltu
Hon will have Its new rigging adjusted nnd
will bs ready once moro to enter the races
HISTORY OF AUGUST WEATHER
Olllelnl Fnreenster Given Dntn. Con
vernliio; a Period of Thirty
Days.
While the month which closes today has
been remarkablo for Its extremes of high
tcmporature, there Is comfort In the
thought thnt perhaps tho worst Is over and
that, aftor all, August wilt bo moderate
as compared with July. For thirty years
the weather bureau nt Omaha has been
gathering and compiling statistics on this
point. It has been found that tho hottest
August In theso three decades was that of
1881, when tho averngo terapcrnture was
80, and that the coldest August was that
of 1S75, when the average temperature
was 70.
The mean or normal temperature for
August during this period was 74 degrees.
Tho highest temperature recorded for
any dny In August for thirty years was
105 .degrees, which occurred August 10,
1S74; tho lowest temperature was 44 de
grees, August 30, 18SC.
Tho average precipitation for August Is
3.29 Inches. The average number of days
on which ot least .01 of nn Inch of rnln
fell Is eight. Tho greatest monthly pre
cipitation was 7.77 Inches, which fell In
August of 1875, which month also has the
distinction of being tho coldest summer
month for thirty years. Tho least monthly
preclpltntlon was in the famous August of
1891, when only .36 of an Inch fell.
The averago numbor of clear days has
been 12; of partially cloudy dnyB, 13, nnd
of cloudy days, 0. Tho prevailing wlnda
havo been from the south. Tho highest
wind velocity was August 15, 189G, when
tho wind blew fifty-four miles an hour.

Thero Is a chance that Omaha will not be
permitted much longer to enjoy tho cool
breezes of the past fow days, for reports
to the weather bureau show that up In the
northwest tho temperature la rising,
changes ot 10 degrees hnvlng been recorded
since yesterday. Even with these Increases
the mercury stands low In the tube, show
ing less than 60 degrees.
Omaha yesterday morning showed a tem
perature of 70 degroes at 7 o'clock, with a
minimum during the last twenty-four hours
ot 67. On the general map Grand Junction.

than this city, and Oakdale with a maximum
of 83 degrees was tho lowest. For tho
