In "Drewltt'a Dream," W. L. Aldon has
Written a story, full of action and Incident
from first to last. The opening scenes,
.which offer thrilling pictures of adventure
tin war time, Involve the reader In a mystery
ithat piques his curiosity throughout the
. chapters of accidents and adventures by
' sea and land that follow. There are some
most companionable characters in this en
tertaining tale, notably an American multi
millionaire, whose careei has not quenched
delightful Klft of humor. Mr. Alden'a
novel Is not written to point a moral, and
no one who begins It will put It aside until
flnhhed, A love story begins on almost
the very first page and grows In Interest
until the last when "she put both her
hands In bis and repeated softly and alowly.
It shall be forever.' " Printed by D. Ap
pleton & Company.
"Mary Garvin" by Fred Lewis Pattee, la
pleasing and quiet romance of back coun
try folks, with characters that are natural
nd lovable. We grow Interested In and
become familiar with the odd back-porch
phlloiophere, who gather In the cross-roads
. store and the blacksmith shop. The pages
are full of quaint humor and droll Inci
dents. Mary Garvin, a robust, light-hearted
farmer's daughter, a refreshing and cheer
ful nature, who had felt no career of life,
became engaged to the village blacksmith's
son, who, though Just admitted to the bar
nd became a member of a law firm In Con-
. crd. Is spending tho summer at home In his
father's shop. .The coming of the summer
boarder Into their m(rtst Mies Bradley
draws the attention of the blacksmith's
aon, aa well as causing a desire In the
entire community to gain an education.
Mary Oarvln, while rowing a boat on
evening on the lake, realties aa she listens
to hsr lover and Mies Bradley In conver
sation, her need of a better education to
become hla equal and decldea to go to Bos
ton and study music. . Her desire Is accom
plished after a series of difficulties are
overcome by the financial assistance of
their farmhand, Joel-Green, who usually
occupies the center of the stage when he
arrives with his laughable stories, and
pungent philosophy. The story closes with
n old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner at
the home of the Oarvln's and seated at the
table are Mary and lier lover, happy and
lontented, thankful "that they "know each
at her now.".. Published by Thomas Y. Crow

COUNTY BOARD'S BUSINESS
Commissioners Finally Decide Tor or
Against Numerous Propositions.
PAY FOR SOUTH OMAHA'S PEST HOUSE
Warrant Cat In Two, Half tiolnar to
Contractor and Half to Itoarel
of Health nnd Rove
Dismissed.
At Its meeting yesterday the Board
of County Commissioners decided to give
Ed J. Brennan a warrant for half the
amount due him for the construction of the
South Omaha emergency hospital; to give
the South Omaha Board of Health a war
rant for the other half; to give the Douglas
County Agricultural society no warrant at
all; to give the finance committee power to
do what it pleases In collecting" realty tax;
and finally, to give Connolly and O'KeetTe
opportunity to fight out. in committee of
the whole, the battle for which each has
buckled on his armor and offered up his
prayer In a determination to annihilate tho
other.
Contractor Brennan. was on hand again
and Colonel John B. Watklns ot the South
Omaha Board of Health waa also there to
aay things. Watklna bad attached bills for
material to the documents In evidence and
Brennan took exception to thla, declaring
that he needed no guardian mixing In his
ffalrs. After considerable talk of an acri
monious nature the board pushed the ver
bal combatants Into their respective cor
ners and agreed to give Brennan a warrant
for $469.40 and the South Omaha board one
for 1488, the latter to pay Brennan this
amount as aoon as disputed bills were
agreed upon.
Pampkln Show Tnrned Down.
Chairman Ostrom of the committee of
the whole reported adversely on the appli
cation of John Armour as president and
O. W. Hervey as secretary of the Douglas
County Agricultural society for an appro
priation from the county to assist In hold
ing another fair In 1902. The committee
report, which was unanimously adopted,
reads In part: "We have given the matter
careful consideration and believe that the
holding ot the county fair In Douglas
county la not of any special Interest to
the agriculturists at large and that the
cost of maintaining the same Is greatly In
excess of the benefits derived therefrom.
The request of the petitioners Is rejected
and no appropriation to be made for the
purposea of an agricultural exhibit In
Douglas county In 1902."
Connolly's Explosion Postponed.

ticipation of forensic fireworks when Mr.
Connolly should make his predicted at

It was burled tor the time being, to be

When Connolly moved tne aaopuon ot
this and Harte had seconded It, O'Keeffe
arose to move that it go te the committee

spending five or six hours a day in town

superintendent because the superintendent
has been Intimidated by threats made by
a certain member of the board.
Connolly again felt called upon to say
something, but the chair again Intervened
with a ruling that the motion was put of
order and it was oroppea.

Harte's resolution Instructing the finance
committee to take such action to collect
the delinquent realty tax aa it may de;m

ABOUT CLEANING STREETS
Engineer's Department Sadly Hampered by
Lack of fundi.
SPRINKLING MAY BE DONE BY CONTRACT
Efforts to Dsrarr' Reform la Metboila
May Mot Meet hacceea with
t'ouarll Daring; Pres
ent, tanner,
City Engineer Roeewater waa asked yes
terday what plana his department had
In the way ot street cleaning and' street
aprlnkllng for the spring season. He
answered: ,
"In the absence of a tax levy. I can't
say what we will do In (hla direction. We
have to cut according to our cloth. At
present we are using such small amount
of funds as re:nsln ia the general fund
In keeping the sewers In shape, as tha
sanitary condition of the city nnd the
public health depend upon this. As te
street cleaning, only such as is absolutely
necessary Is being done. I am In hopes
that the city council will be free to .past
a tax ,levy ordinance early !n May, and then
we can make our plans more definitely.
"For several years I have raoommended
In my annual reports that the city, be di
vided Into street sprinkling districts, and
that the cost of sprinkling be asserted
against the property In those districts The
city charter provides for such districting,
but thus far the council has not seen fit to
proceed along - this .line. The 4 chances
are that streets will be sprinkled this seat
son as they have been in the past, by con
tract with Individuals, which. Is a very
unsatisfactory method.'.'

"We are going to aee If we can't arrest
some of Uiose fellows who are hauling car
casses out on the triangle," aald the mayor.
"Now that we have a police Judge who will
help ua enforce the city ordinances, I think
this will have a salutary effect. We'll alao
aee If we can't patch the1 fellow who
dumped a load of garbage Into the sewer
trap near Crelghton university Saturday,"
