Edna Lira 11 is out with a new novel en
titled, "The Hinderers." The story opens
on the day of Queen Victoria's death, and
closes in January of the present year. It
deals with the subject of peace and war
and glvea the experiences of a heroine who
is suddenly transported from a quiet borne
la the tropics to "smart society" in Eng
land. The heroine is Irene de Bt. Croix,
who, after her grandfather's death, goes
to live with her grandfather1' cousin in
England, 8qulre Brooklyn. The society
into which she Is Introduced there is the
very opposite from what her refined na
ture has always been in touch with and
the life !s repulsive to her, one who Is con
tinually looking for opportunities fcr use

s conversational style the Boer war. The
story is good and wholesome, the heroine
possessing the sweet character one would
expect from Edna Lyall. There is a pretty
love tale in the last few chapters. Miss

years her senior, who is endued with tho
warm heartedness one would wish for a
nappy ending to a heroine wheae Ufa

A new story by Rudyard Kipling is to
appear in an early number of Bcribner'o
Magazine and it la one of the boldest and
most brilliant expressions of Mr. Kipling's
gentu. With the exception of a few
sketches relating to experiences in South
Africa, no, short story has come from Mr.
Kipling for several years and he has pro
duced no story of this rank la a much
longer time. The title. "Wireless," gives
n hint as to the modern developments in
electric phenomena that suggested the
story to Mr. Kipling, but it contains In it
no intimation of the amazing originality
and skill with which be has worked it out.
And yet no other, title could describe so ex
actly the , extraordinary psychological sit
nation that forms tho main inoldent of the
tale. It is a story, that will stir the In
terest of readers to enthusiasm.
In the July St. Nicholas Arthur Johnson
Evans raises the question, "Is King Ed
ward Really Edward the Seventh?" He
speaks of a little discussion he had in Eng
land recently with some young relatives of
his and be recalls to the reader what a
good many of us have perhaps forgotten
that there are at least three Edwards whom
history has failed to designate with nu
merals. Edward the Confessor was one.
Then there was Edward the Elder, who
reigned Just after Alfred the Great, and.
Edward the Martyr, who figured In English
history Just before Ethelred. But the au
thor Instssd of suggesting that England's
new monarch have a few numbers added to
his name makes the statement that In
reality he is the first Edward to be ruler
of Great Britain and Ireland. The other
Edwards of history were simply kings of
England. This little discussion really serves
as an introduction to many interesting facts
and anecdotes of English history, particu
larly timely at this coronation season.
The 'July Century is a summer fiction
number, containing contributions In this
field from popular writers and from new
comers. There is a short story by the late
Paul Leicester Ford, entitled "Wanted, a
Chaperon," with Illustrations by Gilbert,
probably the last piece of completed fic
tion by the author of "Janice Meredith,"
To Dr. Wslr MltcbeU's group of "Little
. Stories" is added a piquant skstch entitled,
"X Dilemma," setting forth a "lady or the
tlger"-lsh problem; David Oray. author of
. "Oallops," contributes a car horse story
entitled "Tlng-a-Llng," and Frank Norrls
a story of ths frontier west entitled "The
Passing of Cock-Eye Blacklock"; Harry
Stlllwell Edwsrds, author of "Two Run
aways," prlnta a rollicking story of rival
negro churches in ths south, "The Little
Unpleasantness at New Hope." There are
jalao stories by Louise Collier Wlllcox,
iWIll N. Har'ben and Charles Bryant How
ard, the last a bit of West Indian local
color. The variety of this list Is further
extended by the fourth part of ths "Con
fessions of a Wife," by Mary Adams, the
theme of which is estrangement, as those
of the preceding portions have been re
spectively, courtship, marriage and mother
hood. A special announcement of a new serial
tory to begin in the July number of Pear
son's will probably cause many readers to
make a note to secure tbat number with
out fall. The story is entitled "The Pearl
Maiden; or. the Fall of Jerusalem," and la

Haggard. The fortunes of ths beautiful

Jewess Miriam, who has embraced Chris

noble Roman captain, Marcus, at the time
of the Roman invasion of Judes. The time,
ths characters and the setting, therefore,
give promise of a stirring historic ro
mance. "Bread and Wine" Is a tale of Swiss folk,
by Maude Egerton King. Although this
bring her for the first time before an
American public, ahe bas had several books
published In England. The titles of aome of
them are: -"My Book of Songs and Bon
nets," "Round About a Brighton Coach
Office," "Studies In Love" and "The Con
version of Miss Caroline Eden." One rarely
reads a more tender story than thla little
tale of a few simple Swiss folk. A very
beautifully written introduction adds much
to the value of the book, which Is not so
much a novel as a lest torn out of real life.
Its portrayal of the elemental peasant na
ture and its lessons of overcoming evil
with good are such thst they will leave
the reader with a softer heart. One bit
of homely wisdom among many Is especially
worth quoting and remembering: "Tou

them; sod you can't love persons until
you begin to do something for them." Pub

of the name of the Omaha Street Railway

the figure to which It wag to be raised was

they were all to go up together. He said,
too, that he figures on the raise on the
corporations and large firms of Omaha
amounting to shout $700,000, and that the
raise on ths rest of the county would bring
the total assessed valuation of the county
up near to $24,000,000. He has been using
Tax Commissioner Fleming's figures for the
Jobbers snd merchants, but says that these

from the fact that they have added, with

for Itevlevv.
An investigation of the records of the
police court show tbat during the last
three yesrs about 600 cases have been ap
pealed from the police court to the dis
trict court. With few exceptions these
havo never been followed up and the cases
merely burden tho docket and tho files of
the clerk of the court. In ordinary in
stances the fees in an appealed case amount
to about $10. Vntll a day or two ago no
advance fees were exacted from defendants
when directing that an appeal bo taken.
In many of the cases now on file and ep
pealed to tho district court both the de
fendant and the complaining witnesses have
left th city and It la possible that the city
may be held responsible by the county for
the fees which should have been paid at
the time the transcripts were filed.
In the past when an appeal was taken
the defendant merely signed a bond and
the police Judge furnished a transcript.
No tee has been exacted here for the mak
ing out of a transcript and by this method
of doing business the cltyv has lost large
sums of money. All fees of this kind should
be paid into the city treasury. Attorneys
assert that the defendant is supposed to
pay all fees of an appeal tn advance, in
cluding the transcript, the clerk and th
sheriff's fees. When these fees are paid the
clerk of the court notifies the police Judge
and the papers in the case are sent to the
courthouse for use when the case is called.
Hereafter all those who desire to ap
peal criminal cases from the police court
to the district court will be compelled to
pay for the transcript in advance and the
other fee before the document can be

Oscar Harding of Albright Is not dead,
as reported, but is alive and walking around
and really In better health than he has
been for some time. Two or three weeks
Ago the report reached the alty offi
cials that Harding had been injured by a
handcar and that he was seriously 111. As
his wife is blind, the city charity depart
ment supplied the family with food for a
couple of weeks. A couple of days ago
word was sent to the city hall that Hard
ing was dead. Later on a man, who claimed
to he a neighbor, called at the city hall
with a petition asking for subscriptions to
assist In burying Harding. This petition
was circulated all over the business por
tion of the city snd as Harding ha lived
hero a long time it is supposed that quite
o sum of money was collected. No one
seems to know who the man was who cir
culated the petition and it Is thought that
he has eloped with, his collection. When
Mayor Koutsky heard of the affair he
turned the matter over to the police for In
vestigation and tho first thing learned yes
terday was that Harding Is now able to get
out of the house and is getting along nicely.
A description of the man who circulated the
petition has been given the police.

before this afternoon. Members of ' the
board assert that due consideration will be
given to every complaint, large or small.

ation will not be materially reduced, the
total at tbjs time is mere conjecture.

nothing all day but
store has got the
handing out pack
to the river. When th mayor returned
from hia trip he said that the road 1 In
very bad condition and almost impsssable
for teams with losds. "Something will
have to be done," said Mayor Koutsky,
"to open this road to the river, so that
garbage may be dumped Into tho river.
I shall call the attention of the council
to the matter at the earliest possible mo-,
ment, and will request that Immediate
steps be taken to arrange for a road so
that the hauling of garbage may not be In
interfered with. Warm weather is coming,
on and It will be necesssry to bav gar
bage removed dally, so tbat a suitable road
Is an absolute necessity."
While no estimates have been msde by

pendlture of about $200 will put the road
In a passable condition. ,
