"Mara," by 'Tansy," U a book In which
th opening chapters do not give the slight
est hint of what the story really ts to be.
It openi with the last day of school, and
four young glris, who are vary dear friends,
are separating from school Ufe and from
each other. Naomi mas the Innocent,
dainty, sentimental one. With one accord
they agreed that "short as this Ufa ts, by
comparison, I want It bright for Naomi.
The rest of us can endure trials If we must,
but dear little Naomi we Instinctively
shelter." I wonder If the wretch lives who
could be other than good to her. From
the routine of school life to the uy one
of common everyday life Is a great change.
To all of the four girls came trials of
greater or less magnitude, but It remained
for the beautiful and sensatlve Naomi to
drink most deeply of tha bitter cup, from
Which neither the fidelity of her friends nor
her own purity and Innocence was able to
spare her. While abroad she met a man
who to her Innocence and Inexperience
seemed alt one could wish or expeot The
fact that he was a Mormon, with numerous
wives and children, was revealed to her
after the marriage. It was explained to
Naomi that they all lived under the same
roof "until the government made that
awful fuss, you know," since which each
mother and her children had a separate
home. Poor Naomi. It almost killed her.
The trained nurse who brought her back
to life was Gertrude, one of her school girl
friends. Oertrude sent for the other two,
and together they planned and prayed for
the restoration of their beloved friend. The
book Is very Interesting and Is quite a
revelation In Its disclosures of certain
Mormon methods. Like all others of the
"Pansy" books It touches a very tender
chord. Loturop Publishing company.
"Dogs of All Nations, la Prose and
Rhyme," by Conrad J. Miller. Is one of the
most handsome books seen In many a day.
If there are any who can read It without
becoming mora than ever In love with that
friend to the human race, the dog, they
must be queer Indeed. We are told of the
Bt. Bernard dogs belonging to the Hospice
and of their work In searching for and
rearulna the lost mountain climbers. Ws
are given true stories of the bloodhound
who traced down the poor slave when he
made his race for liberty. We have In
teresting stories of the "favorite" dogs pf
Queen Victoria, Of Mr. Gladstone, of Sir
Henry Irvlng's terrier "Fussy" and of Lord
Byron's "Boatswain" of whom he wrote
. his immortal poem. We have stories of
dogs whose masters are not so eminent, for
instance Caesar, a North Carolina dog,
who went to church, a colored church, with
his master. The text was the ten com
mandments, and the sermon was unusually
long. Caesar was patient for some time,
but Anally he could wait no longer and
got up and picked up his master's hat and
began passing It for the collection, which
ma alwava taken after the sermon. We
are given stories humorous and pathetic,
but to those who love dogs ar.d are In
terested In them and have been Intimately
connected with them the stories will not
seem In the least impossible. The book la
beautifully and profusely illustrated. Pub
lished by J. 8. Ogllvle.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Expected Proposals for Street Lighting Art
Hot Forthcoming.
NEITHER COMPANY MAKES ITS OfTER

Walts em Marphy.
No propositions for street lighting were
made to the city council last night Presi
dent Murphy of the Omaha Gas company
declined, stating that a district court order
barred such procedure at present, while
President Nash of the Omaha Electric
Light and Power company said later that
the action of the gas company detained
tha proposal which ha wss ready to make.
The councilman did not discuss the ques
tion at all, merely referring the communica
tion and a petition protesting against an
electric light monopoly to the street light
ing committee.
President Murphy's letter stated that the
gas company was In a dilemma as to sub
mitting a proposition for lighting the
streets, as on April 28 an injunction suit
had been brought by Ernest Btuht and an
order Issued restraining the mayor and
council from approving a certain concurrent
resolution referred to In the petition or
taking any steps toward entering Into a
contract with the Omaha Gas company and
that on June 1 Judge Dickinson continued
the case until September 1, and It has not
yet been heard.
Posltloa of the Gas Cosnpaay.
President Murphy says: "It Is much de
sired by the Omaha Gas company to make
and submit a proposal for street lighting
which would be greatly for the Interest of
tha city to consider and accept, but this
company Is advised by competent attorneys
that, with knowledge of the restraining J
order referred to, such an action at this
time would be In contempt of court, and
that the members of your honorable body
would also be In contempt of court should
you now take any steps toward entering
into a contract with this company."
It Is pointed out that the order must be
vacated. In the opinion of the gas company,
which. It has been advised, can be done
without much delay on the ground that
such an order Interferes with the discre
tion and charter powers of the council and
mayor.
Electric Light Company's Attttv.de.
A stenographer copied the letter as It
waa read and dispatched Immediately for
the office of President Nash, who made the
following statement to the reporters after
the council meeting had adjourned:
'When the gas company failed to sub
mit a proposal we could not submit ours
without giving the competing Arm an un
due advantage. We were ready to put
In our proposition in good faith, but as
soon as we learned of the tenor of the gas
company's communication it wa decided
not to make an offer tonight We are
ready to make our proposition whenever
they are ready to make theirs. W do not
propose to make a proposition and then
let the gas company come in a week later.
You can readily sea that if the gas com
pany can hold this off until the frost comes
that the city will not be in position to get
cheaper electric light The plan requires
the setting of 2.100 poles and after the
frost la in the ground this cannot be done.
In other words, it will be Impossible to
get tha system installed by January L The
terms of our proposal is known to two
men only, Mr. Powers and myself." !
City Attorney Wright was asked whether
or not In his opinion the pending restrain
ing order prevents the city from receiving
a proposition from the gas company. He
replied that be did not know and. would
have to investigate the matter to deter
mine. Councilman Dyball Intimated that it is
the intention to have the order vacated
aa soon aa possible. In any evot
Complications In Bond Deal. (
Information contained in a letter from
Treasurer Hennlngs and attachments pre
sented to the council show that complica
tions have ensued in the sale of HAOuO
renewal bonds which may leave the city
In an awkward predicament. It appears
that on August U Treasurer Hennlngs
signed a contract with Seasongood &
Mayer, bankers, of Cincinnati, tor the pur-
mI tha hanril at n&r. This Waa done!
on the same day that the council passed
w " . ... ,K
a concurrent "
ale. Later tne mayor reiusea . 10 sign
the resolution and gave reasons, the coun
cil approving his veto and directing that
the bonds be sold at public sale.
Th Issue had once been offered at pub
lic sale, in June, at 4 per cent interest,
and had been bought by another Cincin
nati firm, which afterwards' repudiated
the bargain, saying that its attorney had
rendered an opinion unfavorable to the
legality of the bonds. Treasurer Hennlngs
states In his communication that he con
sulted with five other firms without being
able to find a prospective purchaser. Con
sequently the interest rats was extended
to 414 per cent, and Seasongood & Mayer
having offered to buy the bonds at par
and accrued interest a council resolution
authorising this deal waa obtained. Then
a week later cam th mayor's veto and
directions to readvertls for the sale of
the bonds.
Seasengooa at Mayer Threaten Salt.
Treasurer Hennlngs sent back Seas on -
good A Mayer's certified check for 5,00e
and informed the in that the transaction
was off, but they have sent a letter under
date of August 27, saying that they expect
to enforce the Contract If tho city does
not carry out Its agreement They deny
the right of the mayor to veto the resolu
tion, because it does not concern the ex
penditure of money.
Treasurer Hennlngs says "In this connec
tion and in my judgment for the city to
attempt to deliver this issue to other than
Seasongood V Mayer would result la litiga
tion, which would cloud the bonds to such
an extent that a good delivery ceuld not
be made, to say nothing of the charge of
bad faith which would militate against the
city in future sales."
Th matter was referred to th finance
committee.
B. F. Thomas was appointed second as
sistant attorney and his bond confirmed,
th council instantly confirming th ap
pointment when made by Mayor Moores.
This position has been vacant during th
present administration owing to City At
torney Wright's objection to it Incum
bency by Mr. Thomas.
Paving and Sewer Contracts.
President Zimman toward th close of the
meeting forsook th gavel In favor of Vlo
President Nicholson and took th floor.
where he forced th paving and sewer spec
ifications matter to an Issue. He secured
th approval of the sewer specifications and
th promts of Chairman Back to report
on th paving specifications next Tuesday
night Zimman accused Back of having
twice failed to report on the opacification
after he had been ordered to do so by the
council in committee session. Back replied
that h had not been able to get the sig
natures of th other member of his com
mittee and Councilman Evans cam ba:k
with th assertion that he had never bad
aa opportunity to sign reports favoring th
specifications in point those drawn by City
Engineer Rosewater. Back took exceptions
to this. At first Zlmmaa demanded, that
an Immediate report be made, but Back
said the documents were at Ms home and
he could not comply.
Instructions were Issued to' the Board of
Public Works to have a stoneyard enclosed
by a tight-board fence established under
the Eleventh street viaduct at a cost not
to exceed tXO, the work to be accomplished
without delay.
Itreet Repairs Ordered.
City Engineer Rosewater having certified
that the streets are in bad and dangerous
condition owing to the recent heavy rains,
an emergency appropriation of K.000 was
ordered for Immediate repairs. This was
tha amount estimated necessary by the en
gineer. Twenty-seven additional men wen
put on the public works eligible list.
Councilman Dyball secured the adoption
of a resolution directing the treasurer to
refund money paid for stalls In the Capitol
avenue market house upon the request of
purchasers. Engineer Rosewater said this
was done because one of the concession
aires had decided to go Into another busi
ness, because of the market hous com
plications and wanted his money back for
the purpose.
Depaty City Assessors.
Tax Commissioner Fleming's appointment
of twenty deputy assessors was confirmed.
He said the new law renders this force In
adequate and he asked for a conference
with the council with a view of arranging
for more men. The request was referred to
the finance committee. These are the men
appointed: O. W. Corell, P. L. Forgan.
J. O. Arthur, James McMonles, E. M.
Bonce, A. E. Lindell. H. 3. Gillespie, C. C.

W. Bandhauer, L. Kroner, C. J. Canan, J.
B. Parrott, Chas. Hanley.
General Manager Fairfield of the Omaha
Water company sent In another query as
to when and how the city is going to bear
Its share of the expenses of appraising the
water works. He had propounded this
question June 2. He says the general un
derstanding Is that both parties are to
benr equally " tho cost, but that formal
action Is necessary by tho council. The
communication was referred to the com
mittee on fire, water and police.
A contract for repairing fire engine
houses at Eleventh and Dorcas, Sixteenth
and Nicholas and Twenty-fourth and Cum
ing streets was ordered awarded to Olsen
St Jensen at 11.329.90; that for painting the

All of the many labor unions In South
Omaha are making preparations for a
grand parade and picnic to be held at Syn
dicate park. While the plans are not all
completed, the work of the various com
mittee is being dispatched with rapidity
and everything will be in readiness by th
morning of September 7. Many of th
labor unions'have ordered special uniforms
for the occasion and It Is expected that
there will be not less than 4,000 men in line,
as each union will send a delegation.
There will be no speechmaklng at the
park, the sentiment being to devote the
day to resting and to sports. A complete
program, along with the line of march
and the name of the grand marshal and
his aides, will be ready for publication the
latter part of the week. As there will
be no celebration In Omaha this year. It
Is expected that a great many of tha mem
bers of unions there will attend the cele
bration here.
Want Mounted Officers. .
The Fire and Polio board met in the
council chamber last night and transacted
some routine business. Ths resignation of
Frank Morton, patrolman, was accepted
and Lou. Brennan was appointed In his
stead. An Invitation from the labor unions
ssklng the board to review the Labor day
parade was accepted with thanks. 4
When It came to a question of appointing
another patrolman. Chairman Vansant sug
gested that a mounted patrolman would be
a good thing This waa suggested to Chief
Brlggs some weeks ago, and he reported
that none of the men under him wanted
the job. Nolan said that If appointed to
mounted duty, the officer would receive
the same pay as usual with th exception
that 1S a month would be added for horse
feed. The officer would be compelled to
furnish his own horse and equipment It
was whispered that none of the patrolmen
on duty now want to go to the expense
of buying a horse because their tenure of
office Is not certain. After i short discus
sion the matter of a mounted officer was
dropped.
Vansant brought up the question of a
"burnt" district and Mason finally offered
a resolution declaring a district This dis
trict extends from O street on the south
through the alley north to within sixty feet
of N street It was stated that there waa
plenty of vacant ground that could be built
upon in this district if desired.
The board adjourned to meet at tha call
of the chair.
Shields Releases Prisoner.
On the night of August 14 John Hay,
a stockman from out In th state, was ar
rested for being drunk and disorderly
After Haye had sobered up he appealed to
P. H. Shields, the night captain, to be
released. The captain agreed to this upon
Hay putting up a (10 cash bond. This was
done and Haye was turnsd out About t:l)

conversation with, the bailiff, Haye went
to the jail and had a conference with Cap

told him to go on horn.
About this transaction Judge King said:
I neither saw the man or tha money.
There is a record of his arrest on th
books of th police, and there Is also a
record that he was released . on a cish

them and give the bond money back, leav

Heavy Sheen Heoelpts.
On Monday 19,000 sheep were received at
th yards here, and yesterday 20,000 sheep
came In from the western rsnges. The
heavy receipts of the two days had a
rather depressing effect on the market and
the result was that last night quit a
bunch was left over to be sold today.
Buyers did not seem to like the quality of
some of the stuff sent In and consequently
were slow in bidding. The big sheep barns
Were amply adequate to hold all of the
sheep, and then some, so that there waa no
congestion as far aa the stock yards were
concerned. Most of the sheep coming In
Bow are feeders. These will be sold to Ne
braska and Iowa farmers Just as soon as
th roads sre dry enough to get to this
market Good fat sheep command a good
price her at any time, but Just now th
feeder market Is a little slow.

HAGERTY ON WOES OF MAN
Soo'alitt Speaker Dwells on What Humanity
Daily Endures.
PAINTS SOCIAL WRONGS IN SOMBRE TONE
Talks of White Slaves and Grasping
Moneyed Men nnd of. the Evils
that Flow front Estab
lished Order.
A falr-slsed audience listened to Father
Thomas J. Hagerty at the Crelghton thea
ter last night when he delivered his Iress
on th subject of socialism. Father
Hagerty said:
There Is only one rleht frame of mind
In which to approach any problem, nnd ;
that is absolute Intellectual honesty. Not
the kind of honeety which prevents men
from breaking Into your house and stealing
your silverware, but the honesty which
dominates every clean soul. When we ap
proach our subject with this feeling we see
that today, in the great swirl of progress,
human life haa lost Its value. There was
a time when the dark pigment under the
skin proclaimed a monetary value to tha
human being when placed upon the block.
All statements to the contrary notwith
standing, there wss very little abuse of
the slave In the sunny south for the name
reason that the owner of a fine race horse
would not abuse his property.
The white slave of today has not even
the monetary value behind him to insure
his fair treatment. In the cotton mills
of the Carolines nnd of Texas there e.re
baby slaves. All the light and muslo and
the song of birds are dead within their
brains. Their lives sre ground into profit.
Day after day they are tied to the looms.
All the bright prospects which appeal to
manhood and womanhood are wiped out
for them. They slowly Inhale the lint from
the looms. It fills the tiny air cells of the
lungs and they fall victims to the terrible
while plague, consumption.
Cheapness of Unman Life.
In the cities there are women who mouth
religion on Sunday, while at the same time
they are wearing dresses of silks which
cost human lives In Hie weaving, and they
spend their Incomes during week days, de
rived from the looms and machines of the
factories, which are death engines for those
who operate them. Even if one of the
operatives In the mills becomes sick and
medicine ts needed, the drug Itself hss
been adulterated by some manufacturing
chemist to secure a small fraction of a
mill profit
In Wyoming a short time since 233 miners
lost their lives simply because human life
la worthless. Into the press diepstches
there crept some inkling of the truth when
the ststement was made that the mines
had been considered unsafe for a long time.
Had It been 231 darkles killed In slavery
days. It would have been a great calamity;
or had as many mules suffered death, it
would have been considered a serious loss.
It would have required capital to replace
them. There would not have been 23S other
mules rushing across the country to take
their places as soon as the accident hap
pened. It la a terrible condition of things when
the gray-haired man is turned out In his
declining yesrs by a concern which he haa
served faithfully all his life simply be
cause he has lost some of Ms value and a
vnunser man can accomplish more work.
and consequently make more money for his
I employer, yet this Is the very thing we
Pacific Is doing.
i counts for nothing when the building up
I ro0(lB,n business enterprises Is st stnke.
The wages paid them in the grest business
! emporiums are so small that they are
1 forced to sell their bodies for bread. Their
d n r are n,ld b,0lutely worth-
ess as. compared
rlth th quarterly dlvl-
dend. These wor
romen have tne same rignt
to protection by the government as sny
business men's wife or mother here tonight.
In the same manner In which you nave
voted. Just In such manner are you re
sponsible for the condition of these poor
women, and you cannot shirk the respon
sibility If you ar honest to yourself.
Man's Debt to Mankind.
I want to meet the man ' who says he
owes the world nothing. He knows that
he does not speek the truth. Take the
ilphabet. tor instance; ne never eauea any
hlng to that and yet it Is a dally conven
ience to him. Through that alphabet the
fhllosophers of the ages send down their
noughts for him to enjoy, and yet the al
phabet is not his In sny sense. There is
not a moment of our time bus we are bor
rowing from the genius of our fellow man
snd If we give nothing In return we are in
debt to the world, snd the large majority
of us are In debt. I know the man who
says he owee the world nothing 1st
we are tola mat socialism wouiu oestroy
Individuality. There is no such thing as
ndlvidualltv. To say one owes nothing to
society is to belie all things that are. The
value of sny commodity Is the amount of
life put Into Its manufacture, in other
words the amount of labor, and what Is a
man with one talent ssnlnst nil the world?
He csn accomplish nothing with it unaided.
Co-operstion Is what makes him great. The
trouble .is we set up raise vsiues toaay, we
consider a diamond of more consequence
than a porterhouse steak, when we would
starve to aeatn ir ws naa a cmrrei oi uia
mnnda In front of us.
Socialism holds that the digger In the
ditch has as many rights In the world sa
the physician. A woman wno aoes Mexi
can drawn worn aoes not accompusn as
much ss the housewife who cooks corned
beef and cabbage. It a man after a hard
day's work sat down to a supper (we call
It supper If our income Is under t-.&0, if
over that amount dinner) of Mexican drawn
work he would probably be troubled with
Indigestion, but corned beef and cabbage
touches the spot. When a young man
studies medicine he imagines that he is en
tering upon a great mlsalon in the world,
but he is not. He Is simply scqulrlng a
small fraction of the sciencs of medicine
