"Medieval and Modern History," by
Munro ft Whltcomb Is as strong a text
book for high schools as any which has
recently come to our notice. The student
of economic and sociology will find this
volume well qualified to lay a firm foun
dation for a study of present-day social
problems. Tha "book Is compact but Its
construction, and tha methods the author
haa used In his presentation of matortal,
throw out to students constant hints for re
search, and stimulate even the general
reader to take advantage of the references
at tha end of each chapter.
The author has brought the particular
problems which each nat.on has still to
solve down to the very ev of the twen
tieth century, and closes by contrasting
the opportunities now open to all classes
of society with the scant advantages of
former times. The Source Reviews ap
pended to each chapter are quotations or
adaptations from varloua histories and
other books. In order to draw especial at-,
tentlon to men and women mentioned in
preceding pages, to political, social and
eoonomlo problems and movementa, to dis
tinctive characteristics of the governments
or countries under consideration, and to
the views of great philosophers and his
torians. Published by D. Appleton & Co.
"A General History of Commeroe," by
William Clarence Webster Ph. D., lecturer
on economlo history In New Tork univer
sity. In hla preface the author says: "1
hare tried to tell the story of commerce
in a systematic manner. In order that the
reader may get clear cut and accurate pic
ture of the commercial growth and de
cay of separata nations, and an under
standing of the forces. Industrial, racial
and climatic, which have contributed to the
steady expansion of the world's trade."
The subject of commerce Is of vital sig
nificance in this country, and li response
to a popular demand, Is given a place In
the curricula of our high schools and col
lege, his book Is divided Into parts corre
sponding with familiar chronological di
visions of the world's history. Part I,
Ancient Commerce: part II, Medieval
Commerce; part III, Early Modern Cpm-
merce; part IV, The Age of Steam; part
V, The Age of Electricity. The book may
be used as a text beek or as a companion
to the text books. At the end of each
chapter are references to tho best litera
ture accessible. There are numerous maps
and Illustrations. Olnn at Co., are the pub
lishers. F. N. Sommer of Newark. N. J., has
gotten a very useful compendium of In
formation about newspapers under the title
"Sorhmer'e Newspaper Manual," which
makes an attractive bound volume of more
than too pages. In addition to the lists of
best advertising media. It presents a num
bar of excellent papers on subjects of vital
Interest to the advertiser and condensed
historical sketches of the principal Ameri
can newspapers. It la almost needless to
not that The Bee occupies a prominent
place In the compilation and Is recognised
a "on of the great newspapers of the
United State" whose utterances are widely
quoted. The author also aptly- declares
with special reference to The Be that the
beat papers for the advertiser, as for
reader and the general public, are those
that constitute a power and command an

another criticism, to the effect that it was
Mr. Cornish's duty to attend tha meeting.
In explanation, but not defense, Commls
stoner Cornish now states that he could
not, in Justice to himself or In courtesy to

opposed by him at two meetings of the
board and don at another meeting by the
other member when he wa out of town.
He had nothing whatever to do, he says,
with providing music or. hiring any band.
but it would not be proper for him to at

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Hearing of Assessment Complaint! Oon-
; j d . rf f
" vt """"
CORPORATIONS PRODUCE NO TESTIMONY
Board After Hearing the Evidence
tart In on Night Session to
Deride What it Will Do
In the Matter.
Thursday wa the closing day of the ten
days' session of ths Board of Review. From
I a. m. until 6 p. m., with the exception of
the lunch hour the board waa busy listen
ing to testimony and considering state
ments made by corporation attorneys.
Mr. Koutsky waa on the stand the greater
portion of the afternoon and In reply to
questions from his attorney gave out a
number of facts and figures concerning the
packing Industry In South Omaha, along
with what he considered a conservative
valuation of the personal and real property
of the corporations against which com
plaints had been filed. Some of the testi
mony of Mr, Koutsky was decidedly
amusing while portions were entirely too
serious to be laughed at.
Attorneys for the corporations subjected
Mr. Koutsky to a most thorough examina
tion and his replies to questions asked
showed that he had made a study of valuer,
particularly of corporations, for a number
of years.
While the corporations did not refute by
testimony the charges filed by Mr. Koutsky,
the attorneys representing the packers and
the stock yards company made statements
to the board to the effect that the valua
tions, a compared with 1902, had been
raised, and they thought the Increase made
last year waa sufficient to hold for a time.
Therefore they considered the figures re
turned by Tax Commissioner Fltsgerald
for 1901 wer entirety too high. It was
practically admitted by these attorneys that
lf th valuation was made the same this
year as it was In 1902 no remonstrance
would b made.
Vain of Stock Yards,
When the case against the stock yards
waa called Mr. Koutsky was not examined.
His place on the witness stand was taken
by L. A. Davis, one of the stockholders of
the company. Under examination con
ducted by Mr. Lambert, Davis stated thnt
he owned sixty shares of stock in the yards.
He asserted that the stock was worth over
$100 a share and that the stock was all
paid up. As for dividends Mr. Davis de
clared that he received at least 6 per cent
Interest annually on his stock. Further
he stated that he would not sell his stock
for $100 a share. In fact he did hot care
to part with It at all
Mr. Lambert then asked the witness what
was the amount of the last check he re
celved from the yards company. Before
an answer could .be made Davis received
a hunch to shut up. From that time on
his memory failed him and no further in
formation of Importance was secured.
All of the proceedings were taken down In
shorthand by an Omaha court reporter and
a record will thus be made in case it be
comes necessary to refer to It later. The
members of the board made minutes as the
Important points in the testimony were
brought out for the purpose of refreshing
their minds at the meeting held last night
when the valuations were equalised,
Under the law no complaints could be
heard about t p. m., and so shortly after
thta hour the board adjourned for dinner,
At T p. m. the board met In the council
chamber- and proceeded to go over the
complaint. . ' first It was the intention
to takv u recess until today but both City
Attorney Murdoek and C. C. Lambert, the
attorney representing Joseph Koutsky, con
sidered that it would be better to hold
night session and finish up th work hi the
time allowed by law
After remaining In executive session for
five hours the board took a recess at mid
night for lunch. It was stated at this hour
that the consideration of the valuation of
th packing houses and stock yards would
be tsken up again after lunch and that the
session would most likely last until nearly
morning.
High School Improvements,
Going on the supposition that the high
school bond voted at Tuesday's special
election can b old, the Board of Educa
tlon Is making preparations for securing
plans for a building. Dana Morrill, presl
dent of th board, said yesterday that
architects would be asked to submit plans
subject to' approval by the board. Mr,
Morrill figure that after the request has
been made by the board It will take arch!
tects fully six weeks to prepare plan.
Then some time will naturally be taken
by the board in going over the plans, lf
any are submitted on the basla proposed
by the board. Next will come advertising
for bids from contractors. All of these
preliminaries will take time and the
chance are that it will be well along In
the fall before construction work can com
mence,
Further, Mr. Morrill stated that the plans
of Architect L. A. Davis, for which the
school district ha o far paid $1,900. will
not be considered by the present board, al
though formally accepted by a former
board. Mr. Morrill considers that the Davis
plans ar entirely too expensive, alleging
that to construct the building on these
plana would mean an expenditure of not
less than $160,000.
Th suggestion has been made to some
of the members of the board that it might
be wise to wait and see if the bonds can
be floated before going to any great ex
pense In securing plans ana letting con
tracts.
Some of the board members assert that
should th bond fall to sell, a ward school
building, similar to the Jungmann school,
would be erected on a portion of the high
school site.

I erty owners on N street construct a sanl-
tary sewer from Twentieth street east to
Thirteenth. Since Lawyer Kerr started his
ease the Jungmann school haa been built
and connected with this N street sewer.
Two saloons at Twentieth and Q streets
are also connected. The plaintiffs in this
case want the courts to stop the use of this
sewer for sanitary purposes and thus force
Immediate action In the matter of building
new sewer.
Library Foundation Completed.
Contractor Wlese stated last evening that
the foundation for the Carnegie library at
Twenty-third and M streets was practically
completed. Additional material Is being re
ceived end Mr. Wlese expects to push his
work ss rapidly as possible. A quantity of
stone for the building Is already cut, this
work being done In Omaha. The stone will
be hauled here as the setters need it, and
with favorable weather the outside walls
f the building will soon begin to rise. Ac
cording to the contract the building Is to
be completed by January 1, 1901.
Paying Rlertloa Jadgea.
City Clerk Shrlgley stated yesterday that
th council could scrape up enough money
to pay the Judges and clerks who served
at the recent special election. Mesibers
of the registration board will also be In
cluded. Already some of the Judges, clerks
and registrars are clamoring for their
money and as th matter is to be brought
to the attention of the council Monday
Ight it is thought a sufficient sum will be
pproprlated to take up these obligations.
Second Installment Doe.
On July 1 the second installment of the
1902 city taxes becomes due. Yesterday
Swift and Company sent to the elty treas
urer a check for $4,250, aa th lost half of
last year's taxes. Other corporations who
took advantage of the law permitting the
tax to be paid In two Installments will
make payment on or .before July 1. Very
few of the amall property owners held
back as they could have done, so that the
work In making out atatements for the
second half will not be as great aa when
the first Installment is collected on Janu
ary 1.

ently to keep the blood from staining these,
over them he had placed a laprobe. lie
then got Into the bunk and covered the
lower portion of his body with a horse
blanket. These were all in place when the
body was found, except the cover, whlc'h
had been s'.lghtly disarranged, showing
that the man had struggled some after the
shooting. The right arm of the suicide was
over the top of the head and the left arm
was curved over the left breast. From the
position of the latter arm It Is presumed
that Peterson held the revolver to his heart
with his left hand and. pulled the trigger
with his thumb. The revolver was by his
left side near his arm and had evidently
fallen back over the hand after the shoot
ing. Came Here from St. Paal.
Peterson was about 33 years of sge, un
married, and came to Omaha from St. Paul
three years ago to work in the Gilbert
taanery. For the last three weeks he had
been feeling sick and did no work. He
feared paralysis and It Is believed this
caused him to take his life.
For some time he had made his home at
the Thurston hotel. Wednesday, however.
employes at the tannery left on a fishing
trip and Peterson had promised to rleep In
the ptace and look after It during their
absence. He was seen about 11 o'clock
Wednesday night In a saloon near where
he had been employed and that was the
last seen of him alive. When the body was
discovered by Mr. Gilbert the latter thought
Peterson had died a natural death and did
not know that he had shot himself until
the arrival of the coroner. A hole was
torn in the man's left breast and the blood
had clotted on his undershirt. He was
fully dressed with the exception of a shirt
nd coat. On a table near where the body
was found was a half pint bottle partially
filled with whisky. Peterson's right name
was Fltrhugb John, but for some reason
he preferred to be called John Peterson
and by this name he was known In Omaha.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
Lady Henry Somerset Is at lssl regaining
her strength after the teaious Illness that
prevented her attending the meeting of the
World's Women's Christian Temperance
union, held at Geneva, she has reslgnod
the presidency of the organisation because
of her ill-health.
Mrs. Ella Morris Kretschmar writes in
Good Housekeeping of July concerning the
position of women and the coming exposi
tion st St. Louis:
To be explicit aa to the position of the
"ladv board ' (Mrs. Blair calls it "woman's
board"), and also aa to Its right to exist, it
may be well to explain:
That Is was created under a provision of
an act of congress.
That It numbers twenty-one.
That It has "the right to appoint one
member of every jury which Is to pass
upon awards for exhibits composed in whole
or In part bv female labor "
That "it shall participate In such cere
moiile ns the commission and company
may request."
That "It shall Incur no expense whatever
without the approval of the commissioners
and company.'1
That "It may organise by the election of
officers and prescribe rules for its own in
ternal government."
The clubwomen of the Loulslan Purchaae
states, who petitioned the worlds fair
legislative committee to "strike out suoh
clauses as provide for a special woman's
department," as Mrs. Kretschmar says.
saved the world from a new proclamation
that wc still knit, and that knitting, being
very commendable, should be prettily
rewarded though naturally only as an un
important, 'side Issue of human activity,"
but, it would seem, not quits in tne man
ner they planned. T
Mrs. Kretschmar conclulea: "None of the
fair's guests will discover tnat tne dis
pensing of official hospitality does not fill
Ideals as to what besides a woman's board
of managers might do and be. Tet, per
haps no one who views Intelligently the
massed results of all humanity' travail up
the twentieth century the travail of
brain and hand win ran to reel mat
woman's honorable quota entitles her to an
honorable place, ss a sharer of the world's
burdens and Its progress."
The members of the local chapter P.AE.
O. will be entertained at the home ot Mrs.
L. Steetx Saturday afternoon at a Ken

Wednesday afternoon was the regular
monthly educational meeting of the
Women's Christian Temperanca union, tha
topic of the afternoon being the en f ran-.
chlsement of Women. Mrs. M. E. Patter
son, state superintendent of franchise, pre
sided, the program being in form of a sym
posium in which all of the women present
participated. In addition to the members
of the union the members of the Omaha
Equality club ha4 tn invited and many
f them were present Perhaps the most
Important point brought out during the
dlscuss'on was the surprising lack of In
formation the women possessed regarding
their own position under the law. Few of
them had any idea of their real limitations.
And this waa just the result desired, and
after a session of two hours' duration
there were many requests that another edu
cational session be devoted to the same
subject.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Brown of Hono-
lulu spent a short time In Omaha Wednes
