By square houses" Is meant houses
with plain. straight sides and square
corners, In which the width nearly or
quite equals the length. "Rect.iinear,"
perhaps, would be a more accurate
term, but that does not convey an i'm

Story of a Novelist.

Mrs. Henry Wood, author of EAST
Lynne" the "best seller" of its gener-
alton, was forty and a wife and moth
er before she turned her hand to novel
writing, and her most famous book
seems to have been written to soothe
the WEAKNESS of a severe illness. Much
Of it indeed was composed in bed, and
the writer scarcely hoped to live to
complete it. After running an OBJ
scure course in a monthly magazine
the story was refused by several pub
fishers and accepted only with consid
cradle misgivings by Richard Bentley.
1t fell fat until some one reviewed it
enthusiastically in the London Times.
and then the printers worked night
and day to cope with the demand.
Within a very short time East
Lynne was translated into almost
every language in Europe. and as book
and play its popularity has known no
eclipse.--Argonaut.

'DANVILLE FAILS
TO RAISE MONEY
Jack McCarty, Wen Known In
Tri- Cities, May Bring Team
to Rock Island.

!. Danville has failed to raise the $4,000
required by the Industrial association
of that city before Thursday OF this
week If the city expects to remain a
member of the Three Eye League, and
according to baseball supporters
there the prospects for continuation
in the Tri-Optic organisation are de-
cidedly slim.
Manager Boyle is more disguised
than he was a week ago when talk OF
casting the Danville franchise TO the
winds was first heard, and If matters
keep going on in this manner Rock
Island may get baseball without ask
ing for it.
According to dispatches sent from
Danville, Jack Mccarthy, former
manager of Springfield, having piloted
the team to remnants in years gone by,
is on the job in Danville. He is camp
ing on the trail of Boyle and other
baseball officials and it is reported
that he is ready to brint the team
here gratis in a few days.

EXPEL CAPTAIN OF
NORTHWESTERN TEAM

Evanston, H., May 6.-Northwestern
university lost its baseball captain
yesterday when Catcher MacEmerson
McCosh was dismissed from school be-
cause, it was alleged, he had guilty
knowledge that two freshman students
of the dental school had played on the
varsity team. The action followed
UNANIMOUS vote of the faculty late in
the afternoon.
McCosh received notification from
the committee on general reference OF
the College of Liberal Arts to appear
at its meeting and give an explanation.
When the baseball captain failed to
appear the committee in turn notified
the faculty, which was in session in
University hall, and after short dis
cussion a sealed ballot was taken. In
this it was found that every vote raw
ored his dismissal.

Not a Very Bia Bluff.

There is n story of man from out OF
town who came to New York and fell
not among thieves, but liars. He lis
tened to the tales of those who hailed
him about the city. and they came at
last to Spuyten Duyvil. The Palisades
were pointed out to him, and he heard
that the Hudson river scenery was the
most beautiful in the world. He turn
ed away and was not impressed.
But" they demonstrated. those
bluffs of the Palisades are 500 feet
highr'
"Well.' he returned sadly. I've
learned to know that that isn't very
big bluff in New York"
The story does not go on from there,
but it ought to add, as If it were
moral. that that man knew New York
very we'll for a stranger.-New York

HUNDRED MILLION
OF CARNEGIE MONEY
Federal Education Chief Saws He
Would Give 1t For Rural
Libraries.

ST. PAUL, Minn., July IA strong
hint, SO strong that it was almost a
promise, that Andrew Carnegie is
ready to donate from $50, 900, 900 to
$1oO,OOO,OOO for rural libraries, was
given by Philandcr r. Claxton, Unit
ed States Commissioner Of Education
yesterday before the National IIduca-
ton Association. Apparently all that
is necessary is for the various coun-
ties throughout the nation to ask
Mr.. Carnegie for the money and
agree to provide sites and upkecp for
the libraries.
1Mr. Carnegie was Interested in
the PROPOSAL" Mr.. Claxton said, land
asked me how much money it would
require. told him probably $75,OOO,-
600 and possibly 100000 900 He is
determined to give the money away
and die poor, and here is an oppor-
tunity to help him.
"Thcre are 1000 counties in our
nation with no public libraries, and
only seventy-five counties where the
people have access really to big IL
brares. ! talked these conditions
over with Mr.. Carnegie and told him
Of the need of libraries in country
districts.
"From what he said I have reason
to believe that if counties would
