an Important part A young wife and

In his preface he says: "Herein lie burled
many things which If read with patience
may show the strange meaning of being
black here In the dawning of the twentieth
century. This meaning is not without In
terest to you, gentle reader; tor the prob
lem of the twentieth century la the problem
of the color line." The boon is a collection
of articles, many of which have heretofore
been published in leading magasinea. It
would be hard. Indeed, to single out any
chapter as superior to others. All are
scholarly, full of thought, intensely Inter
esting and well worthy the attention of any
who take an Interest In the race question.
Prof. DuBola says his people only wish
"to make It possible for a man to be both
a negro and an American, without being
cursed and spit upon by hla fellows, with
out having the doors ot opportunity closed
roughly In his face." A. C. McClurg Co.,

by Longmans ft Co.. ta a story of war and
battles and battles and war. In whlcM
princes snd princes snd even princesses fig
ure. While some of the bsttles are "heart
battles" they are none the less Interesting,
and "Karl of Erbach" deserves praise and
admiration.
"The Pagan at the Shrine." by Paul
Gwynne, and published by the Macmlllan
company. Is a story the scenes of which are
laid In Spain, and the persons mostly con
cerned are Jesuits. The weakness of one
leads to the misery of many, and as Is true
In reality, as well as In books, it waa the
Innocent who suffered. The book is rather
out of the ordinary run of fiction, and Is
sufficiently eensatlonal to hold the reader
absorbed and Interested to the close. The
tale contains several descriptions which are
very good.
In 'The Archierey of Samara," the au
thor, Henry Illowlsi, presents life as he
sees It In the land ot the ciar. It Is a
seml-hlstorlcal tale, and Just at this time
when the civilised world Is shocked afresh
over the dreadful atrocities lately prac
ticed upon the Russian Jews, It makes
doubly Interesting reading. The author Is
evidently very sincere in his desire to rep
resent facts as they exist, without any
effort to varnish over the weak points of
either a loyal Christian or a true-heartod
Jew. In touching words he paints the pic
ture of the resignation with which the Rus
sian Jew accepts the miseries and the In
dignities of the Russian government. In
the romance connected with the .tale one
gets a glimpse at the sorrow In homes and
between lovers, caused by the recklessness
and heartleKsness with which persons are
separated by banishment or worse. The
book Is one of rare literary attainments,
and those who have ever given the subject
thought, and those who are anxious to be
Informed, will be grateful to the author.

iness Quietly.
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS OPENING SESSION
Members All In Their Places and la-
dlstarbed by Lobbyists Daring
the Entire Time of the
. Sitting;.
The first regular meeting of the new city
council was held last night before a crowd
that filled all the lower auditorium chairs.
amid the scent ot numerous blossoms, with
out debate and with few Important matters
to pass upon. Floral tributes from con
stituents and friends were plentiful, chief
among them being on Immense horseshoe
of roses and carnations sent to President
H. B. Zlmman by his friends In the Third
ward. The piece was four feet high and
broad enough to almost obscure the view
of the new president us 11 rested on his
desk.
President Zlmman named the permanent
committees as follows:

A feature of the Initial regular meeting
was the excluslin of lobbyists and others
from within the council lnclosure. The
chamber had been cleaned and put In fine
trim and appeared brighter and more pre
tentious than It has for a long time. Of
the retiring council only Karr and White
horn were present, but most of the new
and old officers of the other departments
were there. Mayor Moores occupied the
chair to the left of the dias, which he
always does when he attends a council
meeting, while the other officers were at
their proper deskH. Every councilman kept
his own seat and listened with strict atten
tion as the business was disposed of, man
nerisms which were long ago rejected by
the council Just retired. President Zlm-
man's address and command of his new
position were faultless. Adjournment was
early, occuring at 9 o'clock. .
First Vote Sustains Veto.
The very first question on which the
council voted was on a veto from Mayor
Moores, In which he expressed reasons for
refusing to sanction the investment of old
sidewalk funds In sewer district warrants.
which could not be paid owing to lack ot
money in the proper funds. The mayor
pointed out that more than $100,000 of these
warrants Is ' outstanding and that there
Is no Justice In selecting a few for pay
ment from among the lot. His veto was
sustained unanimously. In fact, during the
meeting there was not a single negative
vote cast.
Much business left unfinished by the old
council. Including some Important matters,
was submitted by the city clerk and dis
tributed among the new. committees tor
Investigation and report. Former Comp
troller Westberg created some amusement
by reporting on an ordinance seeking to
regulate the speed of" automobiles, which
was referred to him last Rummer. 'He said
it wasn't necessary, as an ordinance cov
ered the matter.
The ordinance authorising the levy, of
special assessments for the new Central
boulevard from Hanscom park to Burt
street was read the third time and passed.
The appointments of F. H. Cosgrove as
deputy comptroller and Albert SJoberg as
chief clerk in the tax commissioner's office
were approved.
Special Tax Matter.
Former Assistant City Attorney Adams
submitted a report outlining the work ac
complished by him as head of the special
tax department during the last three years.
When he entered the office there were 125
tag cases pending In the district court and
twenty-five in the supreme court. Now
there are but sixty-three In the district
courts and two in . the supreme court,
although in the interim many additional
cases were filed and disposed of, the num
ber greatly Increasing during 1901. Several
Important decisions were secured, including
the one concerning the plea ot estoppel.
The passage ot the curative act permitting
the city to relevy for defective assessments
made since. 1897 was secured and a new
assessment law obtained, which places the
city on a sound basis so far as special tax
ation is Involved. A policy of the settle
ment of pending cases has worked well,
$35,000 of Invalid taxes being secured dur
ing 1892 and more than $15,000 during the
present year.
Order for Watering- Troagha.
Councilman Schroeder's first resolution.
One ordering the Board of Public Works to
place a watering trough at Twenty-fourth
and Hamilton streets, waa passed, as wss
the first resolution by Mr. Evans, for a
trough at Twenty-fourth and Clark streets
A communication from the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners submitting names
of special deputy sheriffs employed during
the strike and recommending payment, was
referred to the finance committee.
The council accepted an Invitation from
theU3rand Army of the Republic to part let
pate) In the Memorial day observances.
On motion of Councilman Nicholson, the
city clerk waa Instructed to secure estf-
mates for printing 200 copies of the revised
charter, 170 copies to be in paper and thirty
copies to be bound In morocco.
Cared His Mather of Hhtimttlim,
"My mother has been a sufferer for many
years with rheumatism, says W. H. How
ard of Husband, Pa. "At times she was
unable to move at all, while at all times
walking was painful. I presented her with
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
after a few applications she decided it was
the most wonderful pain reliever she had
ever tried. In fact, she la never without
It now, and ls at all times able to walk.
Ah occasional application of Pain Balm
keeps away the pain that she was formerly
troubled with."

PREDICTS BIG CORN CROP
Secretary of Commercial Clob ls Op
timistic Over Recent Heavy
Rains.
Secretary J. E. Utt of the Commercial
club is Inclined to view the recent heavy
rains with a complacency that amounts to
tallest optimism.
It seems to me," he said, "that we ore
destined to have a big corn crop In Ne
braska. Apparently this Is to be a wet
season, and wet seasons here are prollfio of
good crops. We' can't get too much rain
In this state. I have been watching the
crop conditions for a good many years, and
though I have often heard people during
the wet springs predict that moisture was
going to spoil the1 growth, I never knew
their' predictions to come true. Western
Iowa and this stafe-have -that sandy loam
that drinks like : pirate. 'The result Is
that after a rain which would make east
ern Iowa and Illinois a nrre for many days
the farmers farther-West can plant within
half a dden 'houf.'- "
Nebraska's minimum annual rainfall is
18 Inches and Its 'maximum Is 60. The
mean for the last tnlrty-lyears has been
30 Inches. Always 24 Inches has meant a
crop, 30 Inches a big crop and more than
30 Inches a crop to ponder over. Whereas
eastern Iowa suffers woret when It gets
too much rain, the western part of that
state and Nebraska suffer only when the
rain, total goes down below the 24 mark or
to 18 when tho hot winds come.
"Of course the deluges of the past few
days have washed out some grain, but the
farmers can replant aa late as the middle
of June and still raise a bumping good
crop, as they used to do In grasshopper
years. Then, anyway, the washing out ls
confined largely to low ground, and the
low ground of Nebraska Is only about one
tenth of the 19,000,000 acres under cultiva
tion." The precipitation In Omaha since Janu
ary 1 Is .42 of an Inch greater than the
normal fall for the same period, but for
these first twenty-six days of Msy It Is
1.75 Inches greater than the normal for the
first twenty-six days of May. In Inches
