"The Sheep Stealers," by Violet Jscobs.
Is a story In which there are evidences of
the real nonius of a glory-teller, a master
riand In the art somewhat more than Is
expected of a novlre or one no entirely un
known In the Held of literature a Violet
Jarobs. The story opens with a Geserlp
tlon of the rural border lands of England
and Wales and a brief history of the
homely upersttons of the people whose
arant Ideas were scarcely beyond their
weekly round of work and tholr petty
atrlfes and quarrels. The farmers who
grated their herds On the mountain lands
suffered from an organized system of
marauding, and In those days of slow com
munication and Inefficient police service
they were unable to protect their Interests.
James Dumpett seemed to be chief In
"crooked business" In his psrticular sec
tion, and drew for assistance on those
whom necessity and misfortune had thrown
In his way. Of this number were Rhys
Walters and George Williams. Rhys Wal
lers from early childhood was a poacher
no outdoor rascality entered his head that
he did not attempt to exploit. After leav
ing school with a veneer of learning, which,
however, did not affect his character, he
makes his bow In the flHfl of Illegalities at
the head of a devastating horde known as
"Rebecca and her Children." Their object
was the destruction of toll gatea'ln Justi
fication of an unsatisfactory road govern
ment. The name of the band was taken
from the Old Testament text In which Re
becca, Vho bride of Isaac, was blessed by
La ban In these words, "Let thy seed pos
sess the gates of those that hate them."
Published by O. P. Putnam's Sona.
"The King of Vnadllla" Is a little book
Just published by the J. 8. Ogllvle Publish
ing company of Naw York and It certainly
contains a great collection of wit and
humor In giving the experiences of the
king with his subjects and attendants. It
la written by Howard R. Garls, author of
"With Force and Arms," and wo believe
will have a large circulation among those
'who delight lit humorous work.
The success of the drama based on Wln
aton Churchill's popular novel. "The
Crisis," ha caused the Macmlllans to Irsue
a James K. Hackett edition of the book.
It Is presented In a new decorative cover.
la nrlnted on larger paper than waa the

contains numerous Illustrations In the form
of full page reproductions of principal
arenes from the play as given by Mr. Hac
kttt and his company. Portraits of the
leading actors and actresses are also In
cluded and the frontispiece consists of the
latest photographic likeness of Mr. Hackett
It Is not only a pleasing edition of the de
servedly popular novel, but also an altrac
tlve souvenir of the play and of the star
and company engaged In Its presentation
"A Plea for Hardy Plants," by J. Wilkin
aon Elliott, who la a landscape architect
of great experience and has been fighting
the battle of permanence and variety. He
argues ;for our native asters, lilies, holly
hocks and the hundreds of other beautiful
plants that make Europeans exclaim In as
tonishment at the richness of our flora; and
he adds to this ample provision the best
hardy plants from all over the world. This
simple plea based on observation,, skill and
experience Is enforced to the reader by
many photographic illustrations showing
what" can be done with hard plants under
proper treatment. Published by Doubleday,
Page Co.
The Scribners have published a new book
hy A. H. Savage Landor entitled "Across
Coveted Lands, or a Journey from Flushing
to Calcutta Overland." It Is In two large
volumes, fully Illustrated, enclosed in
cover designed by the author. The coveted
lands are Persia, Belochlstan and Afghan
istan, Persia In particular, and this work
Is of the utmost importance Just now In
Tlew of the rapid development, reported
constantly by cable In the dally press, of
Russia's long planned designs to reach the
Indian ocean, and the efforts of England -to
counter them.
These plans, as is now well known, con
template the control of Persia and an outlet
through the Persian gulf, and Mr. Landor's
book, the result of an extraordinary tour
across Russia to and through Persia, Belo
chlstan and Afghanistan, baa special refer
nee to the unfolding, now in rapid aecom
pllsbment, of probably the greatest dlplo
matlc drama of the age, one for which Rus
la has been preparing for many years, upon
which Us destiny in some proportion
hangs, and In which the future of the Brit
ish empire Is much concerned.
"The New Christians," by Percy White, Is
novel tn which Eustace Fenner, with his
pathetic eyea, his beautifully curved mouth
and hla eloquent tongue, attracts admirers.
Among them Is Mrs. Galbralth, a rich
widow. Eustace loves beautiful material
things and ho loves ease and all that makes
life luxurious. .It Is this material love that
gets him financially under obligation to a
rival, Mr. Cranly, the possessor of the
"Healing Stones of St. Peter." Eustace's
craftiness tn playing double with Cranly
and with his followers Is cleverly haudled.
The bird-headed dissenter, Mr. Selhy, who
trips up the pretender now and then, Is sn
excellent piece of characterisation. Eus
tace's double love making adds Interest to
the plot. Published by the Federal Book
company.
"Hope Lorlng," by Lilian Bell, Is not a
novel pf the highest order. It Is full of many
things that are calculated to do a good deal
of unintentional harm. Hore, who Is held
rt tn the reader as a model of perfection,
la the davghtcr of wealthy southern aris
tocrats. Her parents move, from New
Orleans to New York, leaving the little
girl In the care of a fashionable boarding
ichool, where the girls, although they are
Bowers of southern gentility, deport them
selves with tuarvelously bad manners.

whom Miss Bell seems unconsciously to

The figures above presented are carefully compiled from reports of the state
auditor, the bulletins Issued by authority of the railroads and the reports to their
stockholders published within the past year. These documents afford conclusive
proof that the aggregate true value of railroads In, Nebraska based on net earnings,
after deducting operating expenses, betterments and taxes paid, exceeds $312,000,000.
An Inspection of the table herewith presented shows Just how much each county
has lost by gradual reduction of the railroad assessment within the past ten years,
the aggregate apportionment of railroad assessments to each county for the year
1902 and what the aggregate, assessmeu t should be If the railroads were assessed
at one-sixth of their value based on net e arnlngs. The appraisement of railroads
that have not reported net earnings, which constitute less than one-sixth of the
entire railroad mileage In the atate, la based upon the value of their tangibl
property. ,

in opposition to the omnibus statehood hill
and Mr. Bnrd (Cal.) also spoke in oppo
sition to it.
Just before the adjournment Mr. Foraker
(O.) declared the proposition of Senator
Quay (Pa.) to tack the statehood bill on
an appropriation bill was not extraordi
nary. Legislation had been nlaced on ap
propriation bills before at the will of the
senate: Mr. Clay (Ga.) took a similar view.

(0.) moved to disagree to the
amendments to the house commerce bill

The Rawlins resolution calling for the
proceedings In certain courts-martial was
called up and Mr. McLaurin (Miss.) de
tailed certain acts of cruelty on the part
of soldless toward Filipinos and said the
senate should have the evidence. He re
marked that It was easy to say there was
a syndicate of slander and defamation In
the senato toward the army, but when
American officers were shown'to have been
guilty of outrages they should be weeded
out of service. The resolution went over.
Mr. Proctor reported the trmy appro
priation bill which he said he would call
np at the earliest moment.

statehood bill as an amendment to the
agricultural and clvll'sundry bills was re
garded as., an untyped? Jot proposition. It
waa not unheard of afc.,ail. , ft was Blmply
a question whether a majority of the sen'
ate could do a thing It wanted. Ho re
ferred to previous feglslatlon and ald an
appropriation bill had contained a pro
vision establishing a civil government in
the, Phtlippinea and the army bill today
provided for legislation creating a general
staff.

the Philippine legislation, known as the

appropriation bill. After a brief executive
session the senate at 4:55 p. m. adjourned.

PROFITABLE OYSTER SUPPER
Juicy Half Hh-ll Vlelda a Pearl
Valued at Several Hundred
- Dollars.
While eating oysters on Sunday evening.
reports the Denver Times, Miss Grace Car
ter of r21 Twenty-fourth street accidentally
discovered a beautiful pearl, valued at sev
eral hundred dollars. In one of tho oyster
shells. Her first Ides, upon finding ths
hard substance, was to throw It away, but
after examination shn saw It was a pearl.
'It may be worth something," she re
marked at the time, "and on the other hand
It may be of r.o value, but I'll keep It."
wnat was her surprise wner a lapmnrisi
told her that It was worth, no doubt, aev- '
eral hundred dollars. He offered her a large
sum of money for the pearl, but she would
not part with It.
The making of such a f nd Is about the
most singular thing that could happen tn a
persofh It sometimes occurs that out of the
thousands and thousands of oysters that
are shipped to the western states an occa
sional pearl la among" Them. But-, so far,
the adornments brought to life are a sort
of mother-of-pearl and of little value. The -Jewelers
pronounce the one found by MIbs
Carter tbe most extraordinary they have .
ever examined.
The pearl Is spherical In form and the size
of a large pea. "It Is evident that It re
mained looso in the substance of the
-muscles ' and other soft tissues of the
oyster," said an expert yesterday. "This
is the most perfect one I bsve ever seen.
Frequently the pearl becomes cemented to
the Interior of the shell, tbe point of at.
tarhment thus Interfering with Its sym
metry." '
Miss Carter Is very proud of her acquisi
tion, aa it Is evidently a pearl of the first
water. It Is of a delicate texture, free from
apeck or flaw, and of a clear, almost trans,
lucent, white color, with a subdued Irldes.
cent sheen. Tbe experience of pearl fishers
shows that those shells which are Irregular
-In shape and stunted In growth or are
honeycombed by boring parasites are those
most likely to yield pearls. The perfections
and regularity of the abell In which the
pearl waa found by Miss Carter has added
to the wonderfulness of the discovery.
