In his Foreign Adventures Series" con-
sisting Of three volumes, Edward s. Ellis,
the popular writer Of boys stories, takes
his readers into the wild and dangerous
lands still existing in South America and
Siam. There are thrilling situations, vivid
adventures and terrifying episodes, but
Mr.. Ellis avoids unhealthy sensationallsm
and his never failing fund OF humor and
high moral character show constantly in
his works.
Lost in the Forbidden Land" Is based
on the attempt of two Americans to trace
| the Pilcomayo river in South America
| from its source to where II joins the Para
quay, a feat which had never yet been ac-
complshed. All the dangers Of tropical
land and the force and wildness OF the
river are to be overcome, beside the re-
sistance OF the bloodthirsty and fearless
| TOBIAS Indians, who have successfully de-
| fed through centuries all armies brought
against them. Disasters overtake the hero
and his friend in spite OF all that Yankee
| ingenuity can do to avoid them.
River and Jungle is story OF vivid
adventures in Indo-China. Dudley Mason
comes from America to visit his father, q
missionary in the interior of SIAM When
he steps on shore he is met by Nughwa,
1
but now a convert OF his fathers, who 's
to guide him through the Jungle to his rel
| atives The journey is long and full OF AL
kinds Of danger. Several times Dudley
separated from his guide and his expert
ences with crocodiles, tigers, snakes, Wild
Indians and elephants are full OF hair
breadth escapes and thrilling situations
which can only be met in such countries
In 'The Hunt OF the White Elephant
Mr.. Ellis has placed his hero, Dudley
Mason. in the depth of a jungle of Slam
The white elephant has been seen. and
Dudley, with only the help OF Nugwha'
powerful Christianized native. sets out to
capture him. How they hunt a terrible
tiger, how they capture the elephant, how
It is stolen from them by natives whom
they finally overtake, how the white ele-
plant escapes from both parties and IL
finally retaken and subdued, are adven-
lures which no boy should miss reading.
The books are each we'll illustrated. Pub
lished by the John c. Winston company.

Father Pink" by A. Wilson Barrett,
the author of 1.-THE Silver Pin" is a lively
narrative of the willy Vaccinations OF a
seemingly good-natured and harmless
priest. vino has schemes of his own for
the benefit of a favorite niece. Large prop
erty rights are involved, together with a
boarded pile of diamonds, which have been
singularly concealed for safekeeping. The
hand of the woman whose property is thus
at stake is sought by two eager rivals,
whose fortunes are involved in the plot.
The custody of the diamonds, when at last
found, gives rise to exciting complications,
with the priest, Father Pink, as the clev-
crest actor in the drama. 1t is by no
means an ordinary man who can elude
obviously certain capture by backing into
a cage of trained lions, with whom he had
previously made friends for that purpose,
and then retreating, without possible pur-
suit, through a secret passage. Published
by Small, Maynard & Co.

been partly solved by the passage Of
the steamboat John P. Usher. The
vessel made its initial trip satisfactor-

of its course and a section of the state

ties, rich in minerals and lumber,

Attorneys in Washington.

Special Attorney Morrison, District
Attorney Sims and Assistant Attorney
Wlikerson reached here Sunday night.
District Attorney Sims brought with
him from Chicago the court record in
the Standard Oil rebate cases, so that
the attorney general may determine to
lust what extent the Chicago & Alton
should receive immunity from prosecu-
ton. Immunity was promised the
road on condition that its officials
freely and fully testified to the part
it played in violating the Elkins law.
An examination of the testimony
will be necessary to ascertain whether
they gave their evidence without re-
serve and played with absolute fair
ness with the government. 1t is not
the intention of the attorney general
to split hairs in the matter, and in
view of the fact that it was through
their evidence that the Standard OIL
company wac ~ccr-icted, he will be dis
posed to give then the benefit Of any
doubt.
The department. of justice will de-
cline to proceed against the Chicago
& Alton If it's present understanding of
the situation is correct, " though
the federal grand jury, under Judge
Lands instructions, returns indict-
ments against the road or its officials.
After examining the record in the case
the attorney general will send another
letter to Judge Lands, in which he
will give his final opinion on the ques-
ton Of immunity.
