As a general thins residents complain
nbout nine months In the yenr about the
condition of tho pavement on Twenty-fourth
street and the Impression prevails that tho
expense of kcaplng this pavement In half
way repair Is oxccsslve.
City Engineer Ileal has gono Into this
subject of repairing pavements with con
siderable cure. Ho hiiB found by corre
spondence with other cities Unit the aver
ago cost of repairing asphalt pavement Is
about 6 cent a yard; this Is counting oery
yard of asphalt In the street. On Twenty
fourth street there Is about 10,000 yards of
asphalt nnd the average cost of repairing
this pavement oncn a year Is $1,500. This
Is at the rate of 4 cents per yard.
"Tho ropatrs to Twenty-fourth street,"
said Engineer Ileal, "have been less thon
tho avorngo paid by other cities, but tho
street has not been kept In repair all of
tho time. If the council would appropriate
$2,000 each year for repairs to tho" Twenty
fourth streot pavement It could bo kept In
good shape all of the time. Ilnpalrs to this
pavement should bo in ado In the spring and
not In the fall, as has been tho custom.
Then In tho fall any holes worn through
could bo filled and thus maintain n good
- pavement tho year round."
Somo time ago thcro was talk of paving
this street with brick, laying tho brick on
tOD of tho asphalt. This would cost not
less than $60,000, and the proporty owners
will not sign petitions for such nn cxpcndl
turo at this time.
Just before the cold wrathor set In the
street commissioner filled tho holes In tho
pavement with concrete and tho roadway
will he In fairly good condition until spring.
Owing to tho fact that tho annual levy Is
not avallablo until tho middle of tho sum
mer ropalrH cannot bo made In tho spring
as desired unless Bomo nrrangomonts are
mado to secure funds temporarily.
When tho repairs for Twenty-fourth
street are considered by tho council a sug
gestion will be mado that the vltrltled brick
pavement on U street from Twenty-fifth to
Twonty-sevcnth streets bo repaired. Vitlr-
fled brick can be bought hero for $12 per
1,000, and It is estimated that It will not
take more than 10,000 new brick to rcplaco
the worn ones. The totul cost of repairs
to this strotch of pavement will scarcely
exceed $300.
Councilman Miller Object,
Councilman August Miller called ot Th3
Dee ofneo yesterday to take exceptions to
a statement made In Tho nee to tho effect
that tho present administration Is not re
sponsible for tho present condition of tho
Are fund. The Item In the paper showed
that tho 1001 levy amounted to $11,342 for
flro purposes. Of this eum. when available
last AuguBt, $5,85B wns paid out to take up
nn overlan from tho year before. This cus
tom has boen going on for tho last eight or
trn years. Mr. Miller asserts that tho flro
department can bo maintained on a moro

Mr. Miller contends that the firemen
when paid $70 a month receive large sal-
arlra. Ho evidently forgets that each mem
ber of tho department spends not less than
100 n year for clothing used In lighting
fires for tho city. Tho city furnishes no
supplies beyond a house, apparatus and
beds, brooms, brushes, etc. Two uniforms
a year cost each fireman $G0, while rubber
boots, coats, mittens, regulation shirts, etc.,
run tho total up to not less than $100 a
year. With this reduction It w'lll bo seen
that firemen are In the clear only $740 a
ycur, while they stand ready at any time to
risk their lives for tho sako of saving prop
erty. .City ofllclals generally will object to
the curtailing of expenses In the Are dc

At the present time tho Interest In the
ancient life of this earth Is greater than
ever before and considerable sums of money
aro being expended to dispatch carefully
planned expeditions to varloiu parts of tin
world to gathtr the fossil remains of the
animals of the past. That this Interest Is
not merely confined to a few scientific men,
but Is shared by the general public, is
shown by the numerous articles In the col
umns of the dally papers. Most readers
have undoubtedly felt t lino and ngaln how
much more Interesting news of this kind
would be If they only had some tanglblo
Idea of the kind of nnlmnl which the fossils
represent. To meet tho demands for such
information Frederic A. Lucas of the
United Statta National museum has written
a popular treatise on the extinct animals
of past geological ages, which he has en
titled "Animals of the Past." In this book
he tells some of tho Interesting facts con
cerning a few of the better known or more
remarkable of theso extinct Inhabitants of
tho nnelent world. Accompanying tho text
nro numerous illustrations snowing tne
forall remains as well as tho restorod form
of tho animal. The drnwings were made by
Charles It. Knight, a rocognlie-J authority
In such matters. Altogother tho work It

Tho subject of forestry Is exciting much
more Interest In America thnn formerly nnd
many scientists are devoting considerable
tlmo to the study of this question. It Is
well known that In many parts of Kuropo
the forests have long been subjected to a
systematic treatment tending to prolong
their exlstenco ns well as Increase their
usefulness. In this country tho natural
forests were of stioli great extent that little
attention wns paid to the subject of for
estry, but now that the operations of the
great lumber companies have wollnlgh de
nuded tho country of Its natural growth of
timbers there Is need of a moro widespread
knowledge on the subject of forestry. A
book along this lino Is "Porest Trees and
Forest Scenery," by O. Frederick Schwarz.
Tho nuthor has considered the artistic ns
well as tho utilitarian sldo nf tho question.
Ho Inquires Into tho sources of beauty and
attractiveness In American forest trees as
contrasted with tho artificial forests of
Europe. Tho book Is Illustrated with a
largo number of finely executed plates
taken from photographs which add very
much to its attractiveness, Hcnders fond
of naturo and of tho beauties of woodland
and forest will find In 'Mr. Schwarz's book
much to Interest them. Tho Orafton Press.

Paulino Bradford Macklc's now novel,
"Tho Waahlngtonlans," deals with Wasn-
Ington official society In the early '00a. The
plot Is based upon the career (not long
slnco ended) of a brilliant and well known
woman, who was at that tlmo a power In
official circles. Tho catastrophe which
forms the turning point Is the wreck of the
great lady's ambition, which was to mako
her father president. Tho book will be of
Interest In the insight It affords Into his
tory, which Is, upon the personal side, as
yet unwritten, and will please through the
charm of Its love story between the nl'-rc
ot a member of Lincoln's cabinet and his

Hobert Herrlck, who will ho remembered
ns the author of "Tho Web of Life" as well
as of several other novels, has a now story.
'Tho Real World," which Is JuH fresh
from the press. The chief woman In this
new world oy Mr. McrricK is tne unugnter
ot an Ohio manufacturer and the plot Is
developed through the story of a young
man's life. The underlying Idea Is
eternally old; that tho world does not exist
until created afresh for each person. The
way tho hero makes his own world forms
tho pith of tho story, tho sceno of which
moves back and forth between the nasi and
the west. The rentiers of Action will find
in this story of Mr. Ilerrlck's something
ontlroly out of the ordinary. Mr. Herrlck
Is a strong writer and all his novels arc
possessod of originality. His "The Web of
Llfo" was pronouncod especially strong by
the critics, dealt with social conditions In
the young west and was a most Interesting
and absorbing story. The motive ot tho
story In tho "Gospel of Freedom," one of
his best known novels, is that ot personal
Independence In Its appeal, especially to the
restless, eager, egotistic woman of our new
clvllliatton His new work will bo read
with Interest by his many admirers. Mac

SOUTH OMAHA MAYOR FREE
Indue linker Suxlnlns Demurrer In
Bribery Inf.iriiintl.iiiw AKnlunt
Allen II. l'telly.
Late yesterday afternoon Judgo Baker
sustained the demurrer to tho two Informa
tion under which tho stnte undertook to
prosecute Mnyor Allen It. Kelly of South
Omaha on charges of bribery. As this ac
tion of the court dlsposos of the Informa-.
Hons, the South Omaha mnyor Is again free
from court entanglement.
Mayor Kelly's lowyers argued that the
two Informations filed against him for
bribery did uot allege n crime under the
statutes. The law pertaining to bribery
enumerates a list of ofllcers who may bo
prosecuted for that offense, followed by the
words, "or any other officer, ministerial or
Judicial," but making no mention of execu
tive" officer.
County Attorney Shields appeared for the
stnto witn tno cnniciuion iiiai u nmju
tho attributes of both a ministerial and a
Judicial odlcor ond Is therefore clearly
within the scope of tho statute. Judge
Baker held, however, that a mayor Is
neither a ministerial or Judicial officer, but
nn executive officer. He Intimated that thn
proper course of procedurb was by Impeach
ment. Two informations wore tiled ngalnst Kelly
by the county nttornoy about a year ago,
charging him with bribery. One alleged
that ho had accepted bribes from the brew
lug companies operating saloons In South
Omaha that they might disregard tho pro
visions of tho Slocumb law at will. The
other alleged that he accepted a brlbo from
Sherman & JorgonBon, the gamblers, that
thev might be free from pollco Interference.
Some time ago Kelly's lawyers sought to
secure his discharge by habeas corpus pro
ceedings In tho district court, but failed.
An appeal to the supreme court was taken
in tho habeas corpus caso, which la still

has teen Juggling the thermometer, doling
out Intermittent spell of rising and falling !
mercury, but each time tho sliver In the t
tube rlarted down It went a little farther
than tho Irst. It Is evident that the deity
doesn't propose to give Mr. Welsh an op
portunity of being puffed up with prldo. i
It seems also that all rules which ordi
narily govern cold weather nro In abeyance !
t this time. As a usual thing the lowest j
emperatures are recorded In the early
morning hours, and this spell is followed by
Rteady rise, reaching Its maximum be-
wosn 12 and 3 o'clock or tno afternoon,
csterdny tho conditions were almost thr
reverse of this. Beginning at 5 o'clock In
ho morning the mercury stood nt 7 below,
from which point It foil steadily until 11
elow wns reached at 11 a. m. Thenro It
roso slowly, standing nt . again lino
maximum) at 2 In tho afternoon. This wns
the turning point. It grew colder steadily
from that hour on.
Tho observer has withdrawn his predic
tion of warmer weather and now predicts
continued cold for this section.

Tho famous dog litigation between (loorg

settled, and ns tho mists ot doubt lift It U ,
een that cowuuroy nas two nogs, wnuo
ako has none, The caso wns callod for
hearing Wednesday nfternoon In Just'co
Altstadt'a court. Lake was not present.
Cowduroy Introduced In evidence a photo
graph of dog No. 1, bearing the Imprint of
n Columbus (Neb.) photographer, also a bill
of sale from a citizen of Columbus who
had orlg'.nnlly owned the beast, nnd upon th
strength of these "Little Bismarck" gavo
him a clear title to tho proporty.
Dog No. 2, which Is tho exact counter
part of dog No. 1, Is nlso In Cowduroy's
possession. The supposition Is that ono of
these animals belongs to Lake, and Hint he
might have had It by appearing In court
nnd making formal claim, but Lake seems
