Robert W. Chambers, whose reputation
as an Interesting writer Is fully estab
lished, Is out with a new novel entitled,
"The Maid-at-Arms." Some of the char
acters of his "Cr.rdigan" appear in this
new story. It Is a romantic and rapidly
moving story of American life In 1778, giv
ing a picture of the luxurious families who
then owned princely manor-houses In New
York state. The heads of these great fam
ilies were commonly known as "patroons"
and held almost undisputed authority over
Immense grants of land. Mr. Chambers'
atory revives vividly this almost forgotten
but highly picturesque phase of our early
civilization. Ills heroine, young Dorothy,
daughter of the patroon Nicholas Varlck,
loves Philip Ormond, her distant kinsman.
Their families disagree in politics and the
course of their love Is hindered. Dorothy's
father Intends that she shall marry Sir
George Covert, and there seems no escape.
But Dorothy Is brave and Philip constant.
The girl makes use of an old superstition
of the Indians to gain her ends. Donning
the armor of her ancestress, the original
fnaid-at-arms, she dashes Into an Indian
council and saves her lover's life. Scenes
of border warfare, of Indian life, of In
trigue, of card playing, danclug, hunting
and fishing add richness and variety of
color to a very Interesting story. Harper
& Brothers, publishers.

brave a maid; of witchcraft and fighting
among Indians. The description of the

Intensely exciting scenes In the novel.
"The Spirit of the Ghetto." by Hutchlr.s
Hapgood is a study of the Jewish quarter
In New York. The author opens our eyes
to a strange country within our own gates.
The East 6lde Jews of New York are In
deed a "peculiar people," with social and
religious customs transplanted from
abroad, which are destined, In the Inevita
ble cross with American hablta of life and
thought, to bear the fruit of peculiar civil
ization. In his preface the author says:
"That the Ghetto has an unpleasant aspect
Is as true as It Is trite. But the unpleas
ant aspect Is not the subject of the follow
ing sketches. I was led to spend much
time In certain poor resorts of Yiddish
New York not through motives either phll
autbroplc or sociological, but simply by vir
tue of the charm I felt In men and things
there. East Canal street and the Bowery
have interested me more than Broadway
and Fifth avenue. Why. the reader may
learn from the present volume which Is an
attempt made by a 'Gentile' to report sym
pathetically on the character, lives and
pursuits of certain East Side Jews with
whom he has been In relations of consid
erable Intimacy." Published by Funk

Messrs. Small. Maynard Co.. have pub
lished a book by George Horace Lo rimer,
editor of the Saturday Evening Post of

written by John Graham, head of the house
of Graham & Co., pork packers In Chicago,
and familiarly known as "Old Gorgon
Graham," to his son, Plerrepont, some
time an undergraduate at Harvard univer
sity, and facetiously known to his fellow
students as "Piggy," and later an em
ploye of Graham & Co. The letters begin
when Plerrepont enters Harvard, and end
after he has proved himself worthy of suc
ceeding his father In the jnanagement of a
great business, and has betrothed himself
to a nice girl.
"Jackanapes" Is among the new vol
umes of Dana, Eates & Co.'s "Young of

Ewlng. The portrait of Jackanapes Is spir
ited and convincing. All that Is manly,
lovable and unselfish Is to be found In the

lished by Scrlbners, Frank H. Spearman,
who has already won a reputation as a

this his first novel, abundantly demon
strated his talent for more sustained fic
tion. His thoroughly original theme Is
the career of an eminent surgeon, the hero
of the modern drama that the warfare of
science with death and dlesase constitutes.
and Interwoven with It Is a love story of
unusual Intensity and charm. The scene
Is Chicago and the background of situation
and events forma a photographically real
istic picture painted with stirring vigor.
"The Hole in the Wall" Is a new novel
by Arthur Morrison. "The Hole in the
Wall" Is the name of a public house In
Wapptng, a low river-front locality In
London. This Is the scene of a story the
characters of wU -l are drawn from the
denizens of the Ratcllffe Highway In the
slums of London. It Is a atory of grim
realism. In the vein which Is already fa
miliar to those who are acquainted with
Mr. Morrison's "Tales of Mean Streets."
But although grim, Ita darkness Is not un
relieved. Grandfather Nat, the proprietor
of "The Hole In the Wall," Is a creation
worthy of Dickens at his truest and most
sympathetic. His affection for his little
grandson Stephen gives a humanising touch
to the old tavern proprietor and receiver of
stolen goods, and finally wins him from
the evil traditions of his lite. The plot Is
full of exciting incidents and sensational
situations. Published by McClure, Phillips

The Board of Review will convene for the
first time Saturday for the purpose of pass
ing upon the assessments as returned to it
by the city tax commissioner. Considerable
speculation Is being Indulged In by mem
bers of the Real Estate exchange and other
Interested parties as to the result of the
action of the board.
"According to the action of the tax com
missioner," said a member of the exchange,
"all property In Omaha is being assessed at
its full value. The charter of the city pro
vides that that officer must accept the val
uation returned by the State Board of
Equalization aa the value of the railroads
for the purpose of tsxatlon. This valua
tion at the highest estimate cannot be more
than 15 per cent, so that as compared with
other property owners 85 per cent of the
property of the railroad companies In the
city would escape taxation. At the pres
ent time we have a 30-mill levy. If the
value of all property In the city be multi
plied by 214 the rate of taxation would be
correspondingly reduced and we would have
a 12-mill levy. This Is not exactly correct,
as under the present situation It will be
Impossible, without a lawsuit at least, to
raise the value of the railroads to a parity
with that of other property, and there will
be occasion to raise an Increased amount of
money If all funds are to be kept up to
their requirements, so that we might expect
about a 14-mlU levy under the existing con
ditions. Owe- May to Get RallroaTn.
"If It Is Impossible to raise the ra'lroad
assessment without a lawsuit it is not Im
possible to reduce the assessed valuation
of all other property to the basis of the
railroads, and assess the entire property of
Omaha at IS per cent of its actual value.
By this means the railroads would be made
to pay a greater proportion of the total ex
penses of the city than they have ever
done. The only objection that could be
ralaed to this course is that it would make
a very high tax rate 73 mills or more but
there would be a tendency In this toward
economy, as when the rate Is high there is
always a stronger feeling thai economy
should be practiced than where the rate is
low, even though the high rate should pro
duce less money than the low one.
The question has been considered to
aome extent as to what body should put the
railroads on the assessment rolls in case It
s decided to tsx them at their full value
and test the validity of the charter pro
laion. It may be disputed whether the city
council as a board of equalization should
not do this Instead of the Board of Re
view."
President Harrison of the Real Estate ex
change has selected the committee to co
operate with the Board of Review, but the
names will not be announced until tho
meeting of the exchange Wednesday.

John C. Drexel, who has had possession

since 7:45 Monday afternoon, at which time
Judge Vlnsonhaler of the county court ac
cepted his $10,000 bond, signed by John G.
Brandt. James Walsh and Thomas A. Fry,
and administered the oath of office, found
plenty of work awaiting him yesterday.
He superceded Frank Dewey, acting clerk.
as chairman or . the board or canvassers
of the returns of last Tuesday's election.
and all the morning waa so busy with poll
books that he couldn't even keep tab on his
box of clgsrs.
The returns of the Fourth and Fifth
ward. Omaha, were canvassed before 12
o'clock without developing any material
change, unless, perhaps, the small one In
the returns of the vote for commissioner of
the Fifth district. Henry McDonald, repub
lican, who was shown to have a lead of ten
over C. O. Lobeck, fusionlst, gained two and
loat one by the official count of the Fifth
ward returns, making his present lead
eleven.
English, for county attorney, has made a
net gain of twenty over bis unofficial show
ing. In (he First ward he lost six, but In
the Second he gained eight; In the Third
he gained sixteen and In the Fifth he gained
two.
When the counting for the day was stopped
the first seven wards of Omaha bad been
gone over with, unofficial results still un
altered. McDonald's net gain of one still
stood. English had made an additional
net gain of twenty-two, which, with the
eighteen he already had, gives him a net
gain of forty.
In rectifying a mistake made on the tally
sheet sent In from the Third precinct of
the Seventh ward the night of the election
It waa found that the straight ballots had
been counted twice In making the footings,
giving Jefferls eighty too many and English
fifty too many. The substractlon of these
benefited English to the extent ot thirty
votes, but from these thirty there had to
be deducted ten which Jefferls gained in
the Fourth of the Seventh, leaving Eng
lish's net gain on the ward twenty. The
other two were picked up In other precincts.

ORDERS THREE SEW BRIDGES
County Board Gives Contractor Drake Ten
Thousand Dollar Job.
CONNOLLY AND O'KEEFFE ENTER PROTEST
Commissioner Harte tnable to Get
Through Gwrley'e Bill of Two
Hundred Dollars for "De
fend I or" Christiansen.
With Connolly and O'Keeffe voting no,
and with the latter thundering a protest
against acting beL'ore the next meeting and
threatening Injunction of his fellow mem
bers, the Board of County Commissioners
at its second meeting late Monday evening
adopted .a resolution ordering Contractor
Robert Z. Drake to build three bridges In
the county at. a total cost of $10,354.83.
One, a thlrty-two-fooi Iron girder bridge
over Hell creek on the Millard road. Is to
cost $560.40. Another Is to be a 200-foot
Iron apan over the Elkhorn near the Schnei
der farm to cost $7,709.20. A third, to cost
$2,085.23, Is to be a fifty-foot iron span over
the west branch of the Papio near Henry
Rohlfl'e.
It was charged that the first bridge Is
near a farm that Harte has recently pur
chased, and that the second bridge was one
of Hofeldt'a arguments to the German col
ony In his campaign tor commissioner from
the Third district, but O'Keeffe In dissent
ing from yesterday's action attacked only
the feature ot Immediate action on the reso
lution. ' y
Contractor Drake was ' present and re
minded the board that" -all 'Its members ex
cept O'Keeffe had signed and delivered to
him five months ago a letter Instructing
him to order the material for these struc
tures and that O'Keeffe had signed similar
Instructions In the case of other bridges.
He had, he said, acted upon these Instruc
tions and ordered the material. Commis
sioner Ostrom explains that such action
was taken for the reason that much time
is required In securing msterlal and there
fore the board had It ordered early with a
view to authorizing the work after the levy
was made.
Commissioner Harte states that the
bridges have been asked for and are needed,
and that In the case of the Elkhorn bridge
the acbool children contribute an argument
almost as strong as the long petition filed
by the formers. Harte says that fifteen
children have to cross the river to reach
their school house; that they have been
making the trio In an old scow; that pres-
ently the river will freeze hard enough to
prevent the operation ot the boat, but not
hard enough to make It aate for the chil
dren to try walking, and finally that to be
safe and atlll be learned they will have to
travel a circuitous route aeven miles In
length.
At Monday'a meeting Commissioner Harte
presented the bill of Attorney W. F.
Gurley for "defending" Anton Christiansen,
who pleaded guilty to a charge ot murder
In the aecond degree and was aentenced to
life Imprisonment by Judge Baxter two
weeks ago. Haite moved the suspension of
the rules and that the bill, which was for
$200, be allowed and paid by the county.
Connolly protested that to allow an attor
ney's fee so promptly when merchanta wno
sold goods to the county have been kept
waiting months and months for their pay
would be unfair. Harte's motion waa
turned down.

Another patient who waa waiting In an
outside office said:
"I heard Scanlan go Into the doctor's
private office and I heard him and the
doctor talking. There was no quarrel or
loud words, however, until Dr. Klmberlln
cried out: 'Oh. don't John.' The shots fol
lowed Immediately. A bullet came through
the wall and passed over the chair from
which I had jumped when the shooting
began.". .
I-. - The- ilrst parson to enter the room waa
Dr. Klmberlin's son, who la proprietor of
a drug store situated on the ground floor

they got at tbe end ot the first act. The
Indignation and horror of the good old
farmer on learning that hla beloved son had
proved faithless to his trust In the bank
(for the atory begins In Germany) waa ex
cellently portrayed, while the despair of
the boy. as his mother turned from him,
voiced In hla cry, "Ach, Gott! Irh hab meln
alles verloren!" ended perfectly the strong
est dramatic acene In the play. And the
father'a sorrow later at discovering his
son amid hla profligate companions, where
the son spurned blm, upbraiding him with
his own harshnssa on the previous occasion,
waa ottered In h' farewell, "Schlafen lie

the father pointing out to the mother the
son, kneeling In contrite misery and regret.
After this scene the action la laid In New
