CENTPAL F1GUFE IS A POPULIST EDITOR Toletel's 1wlok la Entitled "West Is Itelllon"-.ew Elementary Fkislcal Grocrifkr by Pret. W. M Davie. Tbe "state p tbe plaint' will without doubt take a deep interest la Willis George Emerson's aw novel entitled. "Buel Hamp ton." Aa original plot, striking characters and stirring action with tbe story laid In Kansas, U baa all the essential elements of an Interesting romance. And Interest ing It 4s-bsarblngy ao. The central fir urea ,ln tbe rocance . are Major Buell Hampton and 3tbel Horton. Buell Hamp ton la a true philanthropist and phlloso-T-ber. As editor and proprietor of tbe Patriot' be disseminates bis humanitarian opinions broadcast and on account of bis largeness of heart is a. trusted leader in tbe affairs of men. He Is an ldeallat, noble and sincere.. whoin endeavoring to put bis lofty theories Into practice by securing ' financial aid -la a manner la violation of the laws of tta land, bas a tragical end. Miss Ethel Hartoa is a typical American jrlrl, vivacious: and spirited. Her ambi tious mother contplres with an acquaint ance, Mrs. Oaborn. to marry ber daughter to a titled Eagltshman, who bas do at tractions Xor Etbel, already In lore with a Chicago physician, whom aha meets while on her Journey borne from a trip abroad where ber mother bad taken her to com piete ner Mutation. Etbel la courageous and sweet spirited through all the bitter Bess of tbe Intriguing,, which she finally ea rapes by a series of events In which her loyal friend, Hugh Stanton, plays an lm portant part, as be does In other Incidents of tbe story. No reader suspects tbe Iden tity of tbe cattle thief who causes so much trouble and the relation existing between Horton, the tuttje king, and the other promi nent characters, when disclosed, is aa much a surprise to the reader as It Is to them. Much bumor Is inspired by Judge Lynn, a rollicking country lawyer, whose oddities nd quaint sayings arc highly amusing. He appears as a grotesque, contestant in a re markable foot rare that la an absolute nov elty. The characters ' are real men and women with strong personalities. Range and rang life on the western plains are . faithfully depicted. The description of the pralrleflre Is true to life very vivid and real and deserving of special mention. Tbeae who lived in this secllon In earlier days will read with Interest tbe rivalry between the cattlemen and tbe farmers. 1 " Forbes A Co., publishers. Tbe fact that Lyof N. Tolstoi was excom municated froia the Russian church a few months sgo will add Interest to his new book Just published by T. T. Crowell A - Co.. entitled "What Is Religion?" The '-- leading article defines religion as "the es- . tabllabment by man cf such a relation to the infinite life around him as, while con necting his life with this infinitude and directing bis conduct, is slso in agreement with his reason and with human knowl edge." Vpon this basis of a religion founded upon reason he stands fatly, al though such position baa often been found shifting sanda. "Keaaon was termed the . source of errpr," he says again, "and tbe gospel was Interpreted not aa common ' 'sense demands, but as tbos wis composed tbe church desired."., Nevertheless, In view of bis preaent beliefs, which question many '-' of tbe fundamental truths of the bible, one . - does not see bow his church could avoid refusing him tbe sacrameat, tor he follows Voltalra at mora than one point while yet adhering to tbe "true. religion that la, a r true relation to the. source -of all God." We cannot give tbe bent of bis mind better t than by quoting once more from the au thor where he takes issue with Coleridge snd says: "I began by loving my Ortho . dsutalth more than my peace, then I loved Christianity more than my church and now I love the truth more than anything in the world. And until now tbe truth coincides for ma with Christianity as I understand It aed I profess thia Christianity and In that measure In which I do profess It I peacefully and Joyously -live and peacefully and Joyoualy am approaching death."

Is a May book published by Houghton, Miff lin at Co. It is a story telling .Henadie's perplexing inheritance. The following quo tation of his mother's from the first para graph gives the reader a glimpse of her anxiety as it appears throughout the book, which is only relieved in tbe final chapter, "Mr. Rolfe," she asked, "haven't I good reasoa to be afraid" The question came after reciting the story f her life to tbe country school teacher. The story Is laid in Arkansas and tells the lives of two boys from tbe time they start to school until well s;org into manhood. The boys are John Hecadle and Hugh Latham. It Is an original plot portraying a new phase of In berlting the bitter feelings of revenge la a lung-established fend, tbe existence of which la entirely unknown to the boys and which causes them much bewilderment as their experiences corns to tbem. While away from each other their feelings are only tenderness and love for one another. but the minute they are thrown together the unaccountable antagonistic feeling be comes uncontrollable. John Henadle'a en deavors to overcome these bitter moods are manly struggles. The reader realises a mysterious relationship existing between tbe boya which is not revealed until el roost the laat chapter. A pretty little love tale throughout the book causes many thrilling episodes, from the boys' fight (be first day of school until the final grand en counter which results In both men being dangerously wounded.

CONSERVATISM IS THE CRY OF THE CHIEF Aay Effort te Tnrn Leasee lata Tollt. leal Organlentlen Will Meet WHS) Opposition, Strong ad Ready. The surrender cf the Boers to the Brit ish will likely cause a small war among the members of the Onraha branch of tbe American Transvaal league when It comes to deciding whether to disband the league, turn it Into a political organization, make It a relief league for tbe benefit cf the Filipino women and children or to continue to pour hot shot Into the English. Another question thst will be decided, whenever tbe president ealla a meting. la what to do about the t700 which tbe local league bas sent to the headquarters in Chicago and which the officers have learned has not been forwarded to South Africa, but is In a bank la that city. The war began to brew as soon aa the announcement was made that the Boer war was ended and considerable fueling bas al ready developed, which makes It possible that the league will go to pieces without a formal meeting. Preaident Boonsfra rfpreeents a con servative element that desires no meeting held until after deliberation and medita tion. Miss Elixabeth Shirley, the secre tary, is anxious for a session at once and is keeping the telephone wires hot re questing President Boonstra to meet her and decide upon the calling ot a meeting. It was arranged that these two should meet yesterday afternoon, but the president failed to put in an appearance, and the conference was called off by the secretary. Wawta to Take His Tlaae. President Boonstra aald last night that he did not want to do anything hastily sad hud not made tip his mind as to when he would call a meeting. "I do not want to say anything at present as to what my idea is about the disposition of the league." said he. "I am investigating and want to be sure of my ground before I offer 'any suggestion or rail any meeting. I have written to Chicago and expect to hear from there before I do anything.. Several have called me up today and asked me to call a meeting at once to decide the future f the club. There is one thing certain, however. I do pot Intend to lend any hanC toward making it a political organization. We organized to assist the women and chil dren of tbe Transvaal and we might do worse than to continue to asBist tbem, for they are certainly badly In need of as sistance, even with tbs vast amount of money promised by England. Some la the league have frequently tried to inject pol Itics into tbe meetings and I bave always opposed It and will be against any move politically now. It baa been suggested that we continue and take up tbe Philippine war and many other propoaltions are in the air, but I am In favor of waiting and at tending to this business in a deliberate manner. As for the surrender ot the Boers, I do not believe that peace will continue for any length ot time. The Capetown Boers are Just the same as the other Boers and they bave married and Intermarried and are one people. They will aot consent to be disfranchised very long." MERRY NIGHT AT THE DEN Mea (rem Black Hills aad Iowa Pay Respects to Kins; ( taivera. The crowd which came down from tbs Black Hills Monday night and captured tbe den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben were certainly no mean samples of the sort ot people who make tbe Hills their borne. These men from the Hills were a dele gation from western South Dakota to the republican convention of that state, which will meet In Sioux Falls this week, and while enroute to the convention city they stopped to pay their respects to the king ot Qui vera and the doughty knights wbo sur round his throne. It was also the night of tbe Iowa edi tors at the den. For some reason the showing of the men from tbe Hawkeye state was aot as Urge as was expected, but those who were present divided attention with the guests from tbe northwest. Not to bs outdone on Us own ground Omaha sent to the -flea a large number of eaqulrea who were created knights by the rites peculiar to the order. Altogether the crowd was one of the largest which baa ever pasaed through the gates of tbe den and it was certainly one ef the best satisfied. The night was a bummer from tbe start. Everything worked to perfection and the ritual committee was congratulated la tbe Improvements shown In the spectacular dis play. The visitors, as well as the older members of tbe order, were not only sur prised at the revelations made by tbe slight cbangee In the arrangements, but they were greatly pleased,' especially tboae who bad seen tbe stage eettlngs before. In the games which followed tbe lecture of the "It" and the address of the grand mufti, the men from the Black Hills scored high, reaching points seldom attained on the grounds, but when it came to tbe finals Omaha candidates pushed to the front rep. idly, as tbe new members are allowed to play out the games first, snd In the con tee: between tbe home men and the men J from the Hilla Omaha waa a winner by a clear majority. In the contest tor first place In the finals between those ot tbe winning side J. L. Paxton and Victor Rose water came near tying fur tbe "dough," the decision going to the former on the count and a strict construction of the rules. Mr. Paxton was exceedingly generous and tbe circulating medium which he acquired waa passed freely among the crowd, as was also that which fell to tbe bands Of Mr. Roeawster. At the close of the games an Informal vote was taken to determine tbe moat pop ular player and Dr. Ramacctottl carried off the palm, because of bla devotion te the interest of the order thia eeeaoa.

Last night In regular session the city council turned down a cash offer of a set tlement for the fire bail on Indian bill, H. M. Chrlatie. the representative of tbe company carrying the Insurance, placed on Mayor Koutsky's desk In money and offered to settle tbe claim for the amount. He made tbe tender of tbe cash aa per the agreement of the arpraiaors. Tbe mayor named one appraisor and tbe Insurance company the other and they agreed upon tbe loss. After the tender of tbe cash had been made City Attorney Murdoch was cslled upon for an opinion. He spoke for a long time and in tbe wlndup told the council to do as it pleased in the matter of a settle ment, or in other words aa acceptance of the tender. He went so tar aa to aaaert thst the signing of the arre-wnent by tbe mayor was not binding, but Mr. Christie stated that tbe documents in the case, along with affidavits, had been read before and accepted by tbe council. Then there waa a recess for a few min utes and upon recall it waa directed that bids for the rebuilding ot the fire ball be opened, the offer having been rejected. The bids were In the usual form and were accompanied with certified checks. Vpon motion of O'Connor the contract for re placing the burned building la lta former condition will fall to J. M.

Laverty objected to expending $1,000 for Improvements at the Hawthorne school until later on, but the other members ot the board did not consider his objection. Tbe architect of the board. L. A. Davis, was therefore Instructed to prepare plans as soon as convenient.
