Water Wanted by lUsiclenU of Sontheut
Section of City.
NO MONEY TO PAY FOR HYDRANTS
Extension of Mala of Likely OwU
to Condition of Eirhrqntr and
Orders Already Issaed
hjr Ciiril.
Quita number of citizens who live In
th vicinity of Thirteenth and Msdlson
atreets appeared before some of the city
authorities Isat night and made an appeal
for water. They asserted that at the pres
ent time the citterns are nearly dry and
that water Is being hauled from the cen
tral portion cf Albright at a coat of 25
cents a barrel. What these petitioners
want Is one or two Are hydrants so located
thst about a rore of families who have
bought property In that section of the
city can hare city wster and some Are
protection. The fart was made plain to
the visitors that there was no money In
the water fund at the present time, and
that there was no chance of any until' the
1902 levy. It was suggested, however,
thst the people In the vlrlnlty mentioned
might chip In and lay a two-Inch pipe and
get water through a meter from the nearest
hydrant. This would save hsullng It and
be mors economical la the end. As mat
ter stand "sow Albright has about all the
Are hydrants Its population entitles It ta,
ao that It Is hardly probable that the ex
tension of the mains desired can be made
this year. Already the water company has
orders for tbout two dozen hydrants, which
It has been unable to place on account of
the lack of pipe. These hydrants, which
were ordered last year, will naturally come
first and It Is presumed that the entire
time of the local force employed by the
water company will be taken up this sum
mer In locating these. When the next
levy Is made the chance are that more
money will be appropriated for water, a
the city Is growing rapidly and tbo people
are demanding accommodations In the mat
ter of city water. Are hydrants, etc.
Cnancll Meets Wednesday Slant.
, Although the city council was supposed
to meet Monday night the newly-elected
members fell Into the rut of the old council
and failed of a quorum just at the critical
time. There was a big crowd present to
watch the proceedings, but they were all
disappointed. Those of the cuuucll who
did Anally get together met In the clerk's
office and after a hurried roll call ad
journed until Wednesday night.
It is understood that the democratic
majority, la now negotiating with Mayor
Koutaky In the matter of appointments.
Mayor Koutsky still maintains that he haa
the right to make appointments and he does
not consider that the democratic majority
hat any hand In his work, as it hss all It
can do to look after Its own affairs. The
charter Is so framed that the msyor may
appoint from month to month In cases
where the Council refuses to conArm, and
the appointee can 'proceed with his duties
and drsw his salary. So really the mayor
has the council where It cannot get back
very hard, even If he wanted to.
School Hoard Meeting.
A short session of the Board of Educa
tion was held Mondsy night, but very little
business was transacted. In accordance
with the wishes of the deputy state labor
commissioner the board let a contract to
Ous Andreen of Omaha for the placing of an
Iron Are escape on the Central school build
ing. Thli" escape will be a series of steps
with suitable landlpgs at wtndowa and will
reach nearly to the ground. The cost of
this work will be 1525. There was some
little talk about arrangements for the com
ing commencement exercises, but the de
tails were left to a committee.

Contracts were signed yesterdsy for the
grsdlng of several streets In the eastern
part of the city. H street Is to be graJed

O street Is to be worked and graded from

made yesterday whereby the roadway will
be opened during the progress of this other
work. In all, about 20,000 cubic yards of
dirt will be moved. Dan Hannon has the
contract and will commence work within
a few days.
To Opea Syndicate Park.
It It understood that the South Omaha
Land company haa expressed Itself as will
ing to open Syndicate park to the public,
providing the city prevents tramps and
disreputable characters from Infesting the
grounds. Unlet the city takes the pre
caution to place a policeman on the grounds
at night the land compsny will be com
pelled to fence the new Twentieth street
rosd. The opening of the park will be
something long desired by residents of thlt
city.

the mayor and council bla report of tba
condition of the books of the city treasury
up to date. Thla work of checking tue
books occurs every year and costs the city

BRIDGE WORK IN PROSPECT
Commissioners Agree tnat Three
rrearnt Strortarea Most
Be Replaced.
The county commissioner . ar agreed,
Harte of the bridge committee states, that
at least three of the county's smaller
bridges must be replaced at once. One will
be an eighty-foot span over a creek two
and one-half miles south of Elkhorn and
will conTsbout S350. Another and slmllsr
one will have to be ballt over the Little
Hawhlde, tbtee miles north of Valley. A
larger one, to cost S00, Is found necessary
to replace the old one over the Little Elk-
horn a mile northeast of. Waterloo. In ad
dition to an eighty-foot span this bridge
will require about 100 feet of new trestle
work.
The Platte river bridge project Is tem
porarily at a standstill, although Commis
sioner Harte was at Valley Mondsy In con
ference with the Commercial club of that
place. As to the smaller one over the Elk
horn at a point one mile north of the south
line of the county, it Is Raid that before the
bridge itself can be built It will be neces
sary to arrange for opening a road through
for eighty rods each side of the river.

NEW BOOKS AND MAGAZINES
New Novel by Mark Twain, the Prince of
American Humor iits.
AMUSING EXPERIENCE WITH A CABLEGRAM
Ian MaeLaren startles the Mtnulng
Editor of a Religions Paper Lead.
laaT Slaaaslae tor May Fall
of Uood Things.
Mark Twain, the prince of American
humorists, has completed a new book en
titled "A Double-Barreled Detective Story,"
which has just been published by Har
pers. It Is a ttory In which the author
enters upon a field that Is entirely new.
When once It Is started one continues ltt
perausl with Interest, wondering what will
happen next. The book Is divided Into two
parts, th first part bearing the unique
Inscription, "We ought never to do wrong
when people are looking." Jacob Fuller, "a
handsome young man of slender means"
marries a rich young girl, the marriage
being bitterly opposed by the girl's father.
Jscob Fuller hears of the father's criti
cisms, but marries the girl and utct every
means known by him to rsuse her suffering
and thereby break the father's heart. As
a last resort he tie her to a tree, turns
the bloodhounds loose on her until her
clothes are torn from her, then calls them
off and disappears from ths community.
Th wife' one cry of vengeance Is thst
her child may be a boy, which Is granted.
When the boy la 5 yesrt old she discovers
as a birthmark he haa the gift of the blood
hound In scenting. The mother -ducatcs
him and when he becomes a young man
tells him her history and forms plans for
him to "persistently and relentlessly" drive
him from place to place by posting
placards offering rewards for him, telling
his crime, but leaving out the name. Bhe
has found a miner by his name In Colorado
and the boy stsrts on his errand, but on
driving Fuller from the city discovers he
Is a cousin. The remainder of the story
tells of the boy'e experience! in -locating
the cousin to tell him the mistake. Among
his experiences It the unravelling of a mys
tery by his gift, coming out victorious
over th renowned Sherlock Holmes.
The managing editor of a religious
weekly had an amusing experience with a
cablegram not long ago. He had been cor
responding with Dr. John Watson ("Ian
MaeLaren") of Liverpool about a story
that the famous Scotch author was to write
for them. After everything had, as the
editor thought, been satisfactorily arranged
a cablegram from Liverpool suddenly ar
rived at the editor's desk. It read: "An
Irrelevant objection. Watson." Dumb
founded, the editor racked his brains to
recall what he had now done to antagonise
genial Dr. Watson. For the life of him
he couldn't recall having objected to any
suggestion the author had made. About
to call for a copy of his latest letter to
Liverpool, It suddenly dawned on him. His
lntt letter to the historian of Drumtochty
had asked what the title of the new story
would be, with the request that It be ca
bled If necessary. And by cable the title
had comer Later Dr. Watson altered the
title slightly to "No Relevant. Objection."
The ttory Itself Is one of singular beauty
and la up to the highest standard of that
msster hand. The paper for which It was
written Is the Sunday School Times, where
It appears this month.
"Comments of a Countess" Is a volume of
light and amusing satirical sketches of so
ciety foibles. The sketches In their original
form appeared In the Outlook. Some of the
comments are on "Theaters," "The Sea
son," "Music," "Dress," "Rest Cures,"
"Cricket," "Cawea." "House Parties and
the Horse 8how," "The Country" and "Tho
Degeneration of Man." The book ts not
written by a "looker-on," but by one ac
tually "playing the game" herself. She
commences the book with "It Is as neces
sary for a peeress to write nowadays as It
la for an American millionaire to lose a
fortune. Nobody knows how ho made It
Just as nobody knows what a peeress will
do next, though many of us can guess,
heaven bsvlng thoughtfully provided a mi
nority with the fault known as Imagina
tion." The sketches are Indeed humorous.
The preface (written by Carlton, the
countess' husband). Instead of being at the
beginning of the book, as usual, is the last
chapter, "In accordance with all the cus
toms and views prevalent In modern so
ciety." It seems to have been written be
cause his wife Insisted on It. He thinks,
however, if any one gets as far as that
chapter well pleased "with what Dolly has
written that even his contribution will be
tolerated." His preface constitutes good
words for his wife "a written character of
the author." It I published by John Lane.
"Darky Ways In Dixie," by Margaret A.
Richard, Is the title of a book of poems
written In dialect, picturing the typical
outhern negro as he Is In the land of bis
abode. His fsnsticlsm In religion, his
proneness to ba "light-fingered" when op
portunity offers (especially when the pro
verbially loved watermelon and chicken are
concerned); his various and amusing su
perstitions and other things characteristic
of him are written of In a humorous vein.
On th other hand, the author touches
minor chords In singing of the lore the
faithful old servant bears for "Mlssue" and
"Marsa;" of the prisoner serving a long
sentence on the chain gang for some minor
offense; of the old and afflicted waiting
patiently for the call to heaven, where
gladness shall be theirs In the sweet "by-en-by."
The book Is Illustrated with pho
tographs from life and la well adapted to
fulfilling the purpote for which It wat de
tlgned, that of being offered as a aouvenlr
of the south to all Interested in the "cul
lud rttre." and especially to w!nter tour
Ittt from the north. Published by the Ab
bey Prees.
"The Misdemeanors of Nancy." by
Eleanor Hoyt. Is a new book published by
Doubledsy, Psge Co. It would bo dlfll
cult to find a more charmingly frivolous
young woman thsn this Irresistible creation
of Mlas Hoyt's. She is simply adorable, and
one wonders not at all at the long pro
reasion of unfortunates upon whom the
smlls of her mischievous tend. It must
be confessed, flirtatious) eyes, It must
midsummer madness. Her conquest over
th hearts of foreigners and all clssier
of people over the states, is not only In
tensely Interesting, but when told by her
self, amusing. No reader can fall to close
the book without a mingled feeling of re
gret at leaving the heroine and of envy
for "Th Man Who Came Often."

In his article on "Man aa a Machine." In

that man Is the most perfect furnace ever

erated by the oxidation of his food has
been accounted for on strictly mechanical
principles. He thinks that in the future
the mechanics of thought and nerve action
will be subjected to measurement, and we

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts made an
Interesting Journey to Russia last year and

Is not optimistic about the economic future
of Russia, taking a somewhat different view
from that recently expressed In Scribner's
by Mr. Vanderllp and Mr. Norman. He
sums it up by saying that the "truth It
that the Russians ar a primitive people
and at the same time an old people.
A primitive people la economically
wasteful, and the Russian system it
