BOOKS.

one OF the most entertaining books
that has appeared for months Is 1.-THE
kidnapped Millionaires." by Frederick
U. Adams, which is issued by the I.o-
throp Publishing company OF Boston
II Is tale Of Wall street and Is strict
ly up to date In characters, scenes and
all accessories. II reads like a farce
comedy and IL Is so full OF life and
movement that one will never find IL
dun, except perhaps in some Of the
discussions Of public questions which
the millionaires indulge In during their
enforced retirement from Wall street.
The plot is improbable on It's face, yet
by sheer force of audacity II is made
to seem simple and natural II Is not
difficult TO recognize the thinly yelled
identity OF the six kidnapped million
aires or of the newspaper which boasts
Of the eccentric special correspondent
who decoys the Wall street magnates
aboard his steam yacht and then ma
rooms them on the Mexican coast In
all Its details ot the Wall street panic
that followed the kidnapping the book
Is written with an easy mastery of the
subject, and the newspaper methods are
depicted with certain humorous carl
cature that IS very entertaining. Ger
tainly yellow journalism was never
held up TO rldlcule more deity than this
author has done II. while he pretends
TO be lost In admiration OF fits enter
prise.
The mllllonaires who are kidnaped
are very clearly sketched end there is
much excellent fun in their talks on
board the yacht and on the island
where they are marooned. The man
who represents old Russell Sage comes
in for most Of the jokes and his econ
omy is the subject Of amusing gibes
from the magnate who represents
Jim Keene.
Fanatics, by Paul Lawrence Dun
bar, Is story Of the civil war by a
negro. II seems like an Inflated
combination, and yet the demand for
the book is considerable, for this is the
best novel that Dunbar has written. II
Is not only an interesting story. but It's
theme is freer from negro grievances
than one might expect. Fanatics Is
not as might be implied by the title. a
portrayal OF those arrayed on the side
of the South or against negro freedom
but Of those OF both the South and
North who by abnormal lnfatuation Of
party feelings. have been lead into
fanatlcal views.
Like his brother-in- blood author
Charles W. Chestnut in THE House
Behind the Cedar" he does not neglect
the opportunity Of magnifying what
ever good quality the negro displays.
But then one must expect that The
incidents In the book concern mob
violence Of the North; indeed. all the
:. a 4. fRn
author is certainly courageous In utiliz-
ing for a BACKGROUND q locality that
was admittedly the most friendly 20 the
negro to show the hostility against the
negro. But the book Is dramatic and
simply as clever piece Of
fiction, although there is no new theory
advanced nor any solution Of the negro
problem advocated.-Dodd Mead Co.,

p. K. Thompson, secretary OF the
Mercer County Fair association, has
communicated with the officers of the
Woodmen Picnic association with a
view of interesting the people of this
vicinity in a Rock Island day at the
Aledo fair. which will be held at the
usual place near that city during the

Woodmen day. and with the members
of the order who will attend on that
date from here as a nucleus, it is

milan HAS A BATTLE
Stones and bsFigure in Fight
on Village Street Between
Farmers.
TWO ooYNE BOYS UNDER ARREST
One Receives Cut in the Head.
I Mcdonnell Escapes in
Wagon.

Milan was treated to the spectacle
of running battle yesterday after
noon in which stones and clubs fig
ured promiscuously and no one was
seriously hurt. The participants
were Charles Mcconnell. in a farm
wagon driven by At Tindall, on the
one side. and Uncle Billy Coyne and
a number of his redou btabe sons on
the other.
The beginning of the trouble dated
from Monday. James Coyne and the
McConnells live on adj Diuing farms
south of Milan. and Monday some of
Coyne's sheep and hogs got into Nc
Connell's field, and when the owner
went to drive them out one or more
of the McConnells did him battle. In
the afternoon Charles Mcconnell came
to Milan and pleaded guilty to as
ssult and battery in Justice Pinkley's
court and penalty was prescribed.
Ooynes Seek Satisfaction.
Yesterday as Charles Mcconnell
was passing through the main street
of the village in farm wagon with
Atlas Tindall, number of the Coyne
boys, who were also in town, became
engaged in a war of words with him
which shortly developed into some
thing more tangible. Missiles were
used, it seems, on both sides, and
James Coyne was cut on the head.
1t was ended by Tindall whipping up
his team and finally outrunning Nc
Connelps pursuers.
James and Sandy Coyne were ar
rested by Homer Caldwell, head of the
municipal board of Milan, and pleaded
guilty to breach of the ordinances.
A warrant was sworn out against
them for assault with deadly weapons,
and they will have hearing before
Justice Heath Saturday. Another
charge OF assault and Sbattery against
George Mcconnell has been preferred
and hearing will be had before JUS
tice Pinkley Friday.

in the Rockford series yesterday.

faultless support. Haynes pitched
his first game for Rock Island and
gave a satisfactory accounting of
himself, allowing only eight hits
against II off Elliott. But the Rock
ford hits were long. one being a home
run. cinching the game early. Reb-
samen was the only Rock Island
player who did not get a hit-some-
thing unusual for him. The score:
