NEW BOOKS

THE LEdATEE. BY Alice Prescott Smith. Bos-
ton: Houghton, MifGin Co. Price $1.5o.
This is a first novel and certainly very
one. The author was born in |
st. Paul in 1868. She gained her knowl-
edge and experience of lumber village life |
in Wisconsin, where her father was mis-
sionary in a. lumber village. The legatee
of his uncle, who had owned the big saw
mill in the little town, Robert Proctor,
inherits with the property, as he found
out when he arrived there, formidable
amount of Ill will among the employees and
liked, and the Ill will deepened a little
when they found that Proctor was a south
erner. The story is about this antago-
nism and its growth, and how Proctor
sought to remove or abate the deep-seated
prejudice of people who had never before
seen or known him. It's removal required
a great calamity and common suffering,
which come with a. wide-sp spreading forest
fire which reared and plunged and surged
thru the forest to the great lake and left q
track of srnoldering ashes, all that re-
NAMED of villages and isolated homes.
while human beings were engulfed in the
fiery surgeS. Proctor had met on his ar
rival two attractive young gorls, Karen
Torstenson, with voice Of vibrant sweet
ness and crowned with yellow masses Of
hair, tall and beautiful as a viking prin-
cess, and the other was katherine Edmis-
ter, daughter Of the doctor Of the place,
who wore a red cap and looked pretty and
picturesque. The village prejudice had
hold Of these girls, but the legatee Of the
prejudice fell in love with the wearer Of
the red cap who developed into splendid
| girl, and when the mill hands struck and
their families suffer and violence to Proc
| tor is threatened and the flames roar
down upon the village and devour it, the
legatee finds that, altho his property has
been swept away, the girl whom he had
long sought to win, who had been inter-
mittently kindly and cold, was to him the
| dearest treasure in all the world, and out
Of the very jaws of death and wild disor-
| der, these two come forth in the harmony
OF perfect love- to which was added the
harmony Of the chastened community. The
author shows fine descriptive powers in
her story of the drought and the torrential
| fire.

Peculiar Accident Befalls Mrs. Anna

Cedar Rapids, July Mrs. Anna
Danek, wife of George Danek. 1907
South Fifth street, had carried her
husband his dinner at the Northwestern
quarry and stone crusher, south of the
city on the east side of the river, and
Immediately started TO return home.
AT 1908 according to the custom of
the plant the noon blast WAS fired.
Nearly thirty minutes later she was
found unconscious by the road just
north Of the quarry where she had
been stricken down by flying rock.
The ambulance was summoned and
she was taken to st. Luke's, the Of
ficers making all possible haste on
the run both ways. She has two
very severe scalp wounds, one being
fully four inches long, the skull be-
ing exposed. 1t is not known as
yet whether the skull was fractured,
but there is danger of conclusion.
and it is feared that the termination
may be fatal. There We're bits of rock
scattered all about and the one which
struck her could not be selected, but
from the size of the wounds it must
have been large and heavy one.

Special to Times Republican.
Tama, July benedict kalina,
Bohemian bachelor 35 or 40 years of
age. was found dead in his little shack
in the west part of town, and every in
dication is that of suicide. The house
was closed tight and when suspicious
were aroused because of his non-ap-
pearance, and the officers and neighbors
broke in the door, the stencil was I'M
bearable. The body was so badly de-
composed that part of the flesh from
his face stuck to the floor as he was
rolled into the winding sheet. The
magots were so thick as to completely
hide the 32-calibre revolver which lay
by his side. The body lay straight out
upon the bare floor, and on a chair
within easy reach. arranged with pre-
cision side by side, lay his pen knife
and case knife. A pool of blood near
his face lends color to the theory that
he curt his throat, but there was only
a little rust on one Of the knives. The
state of the corpse made close eX-
animation almost impossible.
Benedict Kalina owned the property
where he lived alone, and Ill health
is supposed to be the cause.
