not be boasting today about Nebraska being
again republican.
TECUMsEH, Neb., Feb. +.-several lead
ing republicans here were interview In re-
gard to the senatorial deadlock by The Bee
correspondent. All are OF the opinion that
something should be done at once. Some OF
the individual expressions are:
Sydney s. Stewart-Continued republican
supremacy In Nebraska, In my judgment,
depends on the efficiency and integrity Of its
oficeholders. or the legislature is expected
the prompt election OF two republicans OF
ability and integrity.
william Ernst-There seems to be a
prejudice against Rosewater in this sec
tion OF the state. but ] can't really see why
II need be so In my opinion Thompson
cant be elected without Rosewater.
p. A. Brundage-The deadlock should be
hastily broken.
W. z. Henry--An effective caucus should
be proceeded with at once. I think Rose
water is entitled to one OF the plums and
my best judgment is that II will be Rose
water and Thompson.
II. S, Ferguson-We want two able mer
that the people have confidence inner
who represent Nebraska's best interests. II
my mind none OF the candidates are better
fitted than is Mr., Rosewater.

That Smallpox Case.

Members of the Board OF Health and the
city authorities are being criticised in some
circles for quarantining the Downey resi-
denco at Twenty second and o streets. Dr.
w. j. McCrann, who has had considerable
experience in smallpox cases. asserts that
the patient has German measles, while the
doctors on the Board of Health say that 1t
is smallpox. In order to be on the safe
side the board has ordered the house placed
under quarantine regulations for few
days.
President Berry of the Board OF Health
said yesterday that the quarantine would
be maintained until the board was satisfied
that there was no danger from exposure.

South Omaha Nows .

1t is evident that in order to maintain
the credit of the city South Omaha must
vote general Indebtedness bonds in the sum
of not less than $l50,000, This must or
should be accomplished at the spring cleo
tion and the matter will be brought for
chilly to the attention OF the council at its
next meeting. The turning down by Han
nan Of the Bluffs OF the 900 refundlng
bonds leaves the city in the lurch, with
interest amounting to $3.50 month coming
due regularly.
1t is understood that Mayor Kelly visited
Council Bluffs yesterday for the purpose Of
meeting Hannah and IL possible arranging
matters. Hannah asserts that he has per-
sonally paid for the opinion Of his frst
set OF attorneys, who turned the bonds
down, and now he suggests that he desires
to employ another firm of bond attorneys
/ to go over the matter again, but he wants
| the city of South Omaha to pay for the
| opinion. Hannah will hardly succeed In
this, as Mayor Kelly is in possession of.
| letter from a firm of municipal bond buyers
located at Portland, Me. which says that
| in communication to them Hannah an
nounced that he did not intend to buy the
| bonds. The premium he offered, II Is as
| serted, was too high for any banker, no
matter how smart to make any money, or
] for that matter to come out even.
/ AS matters now stand the forfeit put
| up by Hannah cannot be held by the city
! and VIII be returned tc him. Owing to
! the delay in this matter, due to Humans
keeping the histories OF the bonds so long
and his talk about the Issue, the bonds
will, 1t is understood be sold at par, with
| Hannah as n bidder barred
! Mayor Kelly's idea of getting out CT the
present financial difficulty is to issue gem
| eral indebt edness bonds bearing not more
! than 8 per cent interest and thus take
up all district indebtedness bonds where
| the taxes have been declared illegally as
sessed by the courts.
Those who are taking some interest in
municipal affairs say that by issuing gen
| eral Indebtedness bonds at a lower rate
| of interest than the district bonds are now
drawing will save not only court costs but
a large sum annually in interest and the
! credit OF the city will be preserved. As
it is now, the haggling over the charter
has caused bond buyers to become un-
usually cautious. especially when consider
ing special district bonds, but there will, IL
is stated be no difficulty in selling gen
eral Indebtedness bonds at 5 per cent, pro-
viding they run for a period OF twenty
years.
The chances are that Mayor Kelly will
have communication in at the next meet
ing of the council in regard to this mat
ter and arrangements may be made for a
special bond election.

charles NJ. Andrews, professor OF history
in Bryn Mawr college, has conferred "A dis
,inct favor upon that portion of the read
ing public that Is interested I'm history by
writing THE Historical Development OF
Modern Europe" which has been brought
out I'm a new edition, the two volumes of
the old being combined in one. In his
preface to the new edition the author ex-
plains that the work was written as an aid
TO a better understanding of the last eighty
years of European history and guide
to the intricacies of the political consu-
tutional and diplomatic development OF the
lending European states during that period.
In writing the. work the author had In
mind especially the requirements of stu
dents. the present edition in fact being en-
titled the Students Edition, and he has
adopted methods in presenting the subject
which have already stood the test OF the
class room. The matter presented really
represents the concluding portion, consd-
erably enlarged, of "a college course in
general European history. Prof. Andrews
has very pleasant style and history, as
told by him, Is as readable and enter
tanning as any work of fiction could be.
In fact nothing could be more romantic
or thrilling when told by a skilful pen than
modern Europe, during which the old
regime was broken down and the way
opened for the extension of greater liberty
TO the common people. @. p. Putnam S

Urges Organization.

c. f. Prevey, lecturer on sociological
topics in the State university and secre-
tary OF the Charity Organization society,
Lincoln, read a paper on The Advantages
OF Charity Organizations. Following Is
the substance OF the paper:
In the industrial work today the ten.
dency is toward combination and consoli-
dation. In the struggle for existence be-
tween business concerns in the industrial
field the trust has the advantage over the
outside competitor because OF its concen-
tration Of capital and the opportunity
which II has of employing more specialized
workers.
1T Is Of advantages somewhat similar to
these, which organized charity has over
unorganized charity, that wish to speak
today.
1T was the realization OF the need OF
federation OF the charities OF cities which
led to the charity organization movement
in this country about thirty years ago
Charity organization societies have been
formed In all or nearly all the large cities
of the United States. In Nebraska we
have at least two cities which are organ
lied In Omaha the federation is known
as the Associated Charities, and In Lin
coin 1t is called the Charity Organization
society.
Cooperation means that all churches
societies and individuals who are engaged
In aiding the poor and improving their
physical, mental and moral condition shall
coordinate their efforts instead of work
ing Independently and to their mutual
harm, as under the old relief system II
means the Capitalization of phllanthropic
forces Of the city, corresponding to the
Capitalization which has taken place in
the industrial world. The second great
principle for which charity organization
! stands is the removal of the conditions
which render charitable relief necessary.
While the old relief system aimed to re-
| lieve the distress OF the poor the newer
charity aims to do away with the cause of
pauperism.
I'm relieving distress the charity or
| ganization society tries to bring out all
the resources of the family first. II there
are any able to work employment is found
! for them. II 1t cannot be found In the
usual way, work yards for men and work
rooms for women are established. When
direct relief must be given the Charity Or
| ganization society obtains II from a relief
society, church, the township trustee or
from some benevolent person. Some charity
organization societies give relief from their
own funds, but many OF them have no re-
lief funds"

A new novel entitled "a Hero In Home
spun" by william Il. Barton, has made
its appearance. The work Is interesting In
more ways than one. In the first place. It
is "a story wei told and aboundlng in life
and incident. The writer in his preface
states that his main object I'm writing the
work has been "to extend popular knowl-
edge of the civil war as It affected a large
but almost unrecognized body of our peo-
pie" For that reason he has selected Il
historical background that Is practically
correct but has adopted fiction me-
dum that he might allow his characters
greater freedom OF speech and give a larger
field for incident and personal experience
The story in it's opening chapter introduces
Jack Casey. n hardy young mountaineer
and around him the story Centerc. The
primitive customs and usages of the noun
taineers are carefully pictured and few
writer's have ever described this interesting
and generally unknown people so appreci-
atively or graphically. Mr.. Barton lived
among the southerners for seven years and
during that time learned how great is the
need of charity in passing judgment upon
those to whom the war involved such mo-
mentous choices as 1t did to the people OF
the south. The plucky women of the south
are not forgotten and on more than one
thrilling occasion the southern heroine
comes to the rescue In a dramatic episode.
Mr.. Barton has not forgotten to Introduce
q love story and one that ends in most
satisfactory manner 30 that 1t may very
Justly be termed novel to be read and
enjoyed as we'll as an historical document
Of the greatest value. The book is Issued
as a part of Appleton's Town and Country
Library by d. Appleton & Co., New York.
