"upon tho mensuro will come from tho west

representatives from tho east who havo
expressed opinions being In favor ot the

ticle In Tho Omaha Ilee, copied
rrom tn0 Hrooklyn Eagle, he said
tnat It represented the sentiment of
too eastern representatives nnd that they
would stand for no plan contemplating
stato ownership nnd control. A general
discussion followed, In which each speaker
pledged himself to Bjirend the Bcntlment In

will wrlto to representative men In thi

A telegram printed In n Chlcnco naner

Oeorgo W. Llnlngor, past grand master
of the Nebraska grand lodge of Ancient,
Free and Accepted Masons, has just re
ceived n commission from tho natlonnl
grand lodgo of Egypt, as Its representa
tive to tho Nebraska grand lodge. Its re
ceipt marks tho establishment ot fraternal
relations between tho two Masonic bodies
In speaking of tho matter Mr. Llnlngcr
said;
"Whtlo I was In Cnlro, Egypt, last win
tor, Idrls Hey Hagheb, grand master of the
Egyptian grand lodge, learned of my pres
ence In the city nnd sent n fraternal letter
of greeting. An ncqualntnnco followed and
during my stay I was shown every courtesy
by tho Masonic brethren. Tho Egyptian
grand mastor suggested thnt his lodgo bo
rooognlzed by tho NebrnBka grand lodge,
ns It had been by several grand lodges In
tho United States,
"Tho suggestion was ogroeablo to mo
nnd when I returned to Omaha in Juno I
presented the matter to tho Nebraska
grand lodge, then In session. It was favor
ably reported by tho committee on foreign
correspondence and at my suggestion Henry
C. Crozler of Cnlro was appointed as the
representative of the Nebraska grand lodgo
to tho Egyptian grand lodge. Upon re
colpt of his commission the officers of tho
Egyptian grand lodge prepared ono for mn
as tholr representative, nnd It has Just
como to hand."
Mr. Llnlnger porformed a similar sarvlco
about twonty years ago In bringing nbout
fratornnl relations between the grand lodge
of England nnd tho Nobraskn grand lodgo.
His commission from the Egyptian grand

Last week was one of the busiest ever
experienced by Omaha booksellers, barring,
of course, tho week Immediately preceding
the hntldays. The stores have been thronged
with buyers early and late, making their
holiday purchases. Clerks have been moro
than busy In looking nfter the wants of
customers nnd bringing out resorvo stock
to fill the big gaps made In the long rows
of books on the shelves. If nil the books
purchased nre to remain In Omftha there
will be no dearth of reading matter In this
city for some time to come. While most
of tho books intended for the holiday trade
nrrlved soma time ngo a few new ones
have put In nn appearance .within tho Inst
few days,
"The Debatable Land," by Arthur Col
ton, Is decidedly on Interesting story, vig
orous and orlglnnl In tone. The manner In
which It Is written recalls Stephen Crane
at his best. Its drama Is enacted at the
time of our civil war. Helen Hourn, a
young New England girl, has two lovers,
Morgan Map and Onrd Wlndhnm, who nre
men of quite opposite types, ono a strong,
masterful character, the othrr of a more
spiritual nnture. Hoth go to the war.
Helen also goes, as a nurse. There she
meets Map and Wlndhnm, and Jealousy nnd
Intrigue follow. The characters of Ihe
two men nre then exposed ond Helen
makes her choice. All tho people In tho
book nre alive, from Father Andrew, who
hnd visions of salads, when his thoughts
should have been elsewhere, to Fritz
Mcaelle, tho big, artistic (Jerman muslclnn,
with his genial bouI nnd quaint Jargon.
Tho poet, Walt Whitman, la Introduced

and absorbing, a worthy volume with
which to close tho remarkably successful

"Harcheslor Towers," by Anthony Trol
lope, haB been brought out In n cheap edi
tion. It Is the sequel to "The Warden,"
which was published recently in the snmo
series. It Is n sign of tho times that the
public Is asking for, n revival of tho best
In n good deal of undeservedly neglected
literature. Such pure English, clothing
tho most delightfully nntural and human
plots, 1b bound to hold Its own ngnlnst tho
often Illiterate nnd the vulgarly sensational
latter-day work. It is hoped that In this

Is to bo hoped that tho reading public will

"Tho Hose Onrden of Persia" has been

by Mrs. Louisa Stuart Costello, with a now

In tho Netherlands enables him to wrlto
with fullness of knowledge nnd with Im
partiality. Beginning with the first volume
In this series, "French Llfo In Town nnd
Country," tho closest edltorlnl supervision
has obtained In order to securp both ac
curacy and Interest. Generally speaking,
the volumes may bo said to avoid subjects
statistical, political and controversial, and
to deal with tho Intellectual llfo of tho
various peoples, tholr manners and cus
toms, wealth nnd poverty, their nrmlcs,
their Industrial llfo. rural life, religious
life, homo llfo, amusements and local gov

"The Story of the Art of Building." bv
P. L. Wnterhouso, is a very little book. but.
like all tho volumes belonging to tho Llhrarv
of Useful Stories, It tells a great deal In a
very little space. As a matter of course, tho
nwnor in aucn a Brief work has been able
1
to only touch upon tho most salient features
of architecture, but for tho benefit of those
who wish to study moro deeply Into tho

people. Sho wanted to boo the world "with j
Cinderella's eyes" and of course sho wanted
a prince, nnd she succeeded In getting all '
she wanted. Sho nlso succeeded in meeting

"Tho American Invaders- 1 heir Plans,
Tactics and Progress," by Fred A. Mc
Kcnzle, was written originally with the view 1
to interest nnd arouse Hrltlih readers. The
subject, however, Is such that It must ap
peal as well to tho people of the United
States as to those of Great Hrltnln, anil,, It
Is with this hopo that an Amcrlcnn edition 1
has been prepared. Tho truths which aro
