It was a beautiful mornlnj;, and tlio cool,

on I lie mind and tlio dark brown taHlo of
"tlio morning after."
In the city i;oiifrully retail IhihIiiosb waa

At tbp publle offlceH holiday hours were oli
nrrved and no work wiih dono after noon.
In many tinmen old time. New Vear'H cus
tomii were revived and fair dchutnnteH of
the present mpiihoii followed the examples
of their grout Krnndmothers at the opetiltiK
of the nineteenth century. Tlio Htiow.was
hardly well enough dlilrlbuled for nlelRhi.

the mellow tinkle of the IioIIh added tho
In nt neeesaary touch to an otherwise perfect
wlrter holiday. .

In tho afternoon tbo theaters were
thronged' and tho manager of tho piny
bniiMfH had arranged blllst to satlufy the
varlotiH tauten. At Iloyd'rt the Mnntonlan
held the boards and tho usual holiday crowd
unit out In force. The bill was "The Vice
roy." and Us presentation In the generally
nciepinble manner of tbn llostonlans,
seemed to satisfy thoso In attendance.
At tho Orpheum a special bill of vaude
ville was offered, with special reference to
tho nntiunl holiday, which this time marks
the change; In tho century. It appeared
to the observer as though the management
bad endeavored to llluatralo to an Omaha
audience tbo advance which tlio past cen
tury has made In vaudeville, which only a
few yearn ago was known ns "variety."
Tho Trocadero'ii bill Included a beauty
nhow, and as clours nnd cigarettes were
not barred, each man felt himself at ease
In witnessing one of tbo best productions
of Its class over presented In tho city.
At tllf lllltt-lN.
To Judge from tbo hotel registers, tbo
great army, of travelers, by common con
sent, made up their minds to spend tho
day at home. New Year's travel Is always
light, but at tho leading hotels tho llrst
day of the year 11)01 Is remarkable In this
respect, anil tho hotels did a bigger local
business generally the night before than
they have dono for n long while. Many resi
dents of the city attended religious Bervlces
nt downtown bouses of worship, nnd by
the time tho now century had been greeted,
tho last street car had gone, although tho
company ran tho cars until after " o'clock.
Many staid business men and dignified ma
trons, who had depended upon cars rather
than hacks, spent tho nUht nt hotels toi
tho first tlmo In years.

There was something doing at tho new
quarters of tho Jacksonlan club, 1417 Far
num street, yesterday afternoon, when the
local disciples, of "Old Hickory" came to
gether for the purpose of giving 1000 a
parting kick and I'.lOl a glad hand. During
thu last year of tho old rentury Father
Tlmo bad permitted his keen-edged scythe
to cut asunder the almost blossoming plants
of tho democracy and tho Jncksonlans ovl
lently considered It correct policy to nieot
him at tho threshold of tho now year and
Kith good cheer tako tho keen edge oft
ills cutlery.
The smiling countenance of tbo peerless
lender that hangs on tbo wall In u sug
jcestlvo black' fraino was carefully dusted
off and the doors of the club wero thrown
open. At. $ o'clock tho faithful began to
irrlve. If anybody came thero with the
fxpci'latlon ot having a gloomy communion
lth his past ho was promptly made to
forget It. Kverythlng pointed to tlmo
head and futures wero played upon In
I run beard of trado style. If a visitor
chanced a remark about tho last election
lio was promptly reminded that a century
bad lust died and 0110 ot better promise
was In tho cradle;.
When stray thoughts of tho past had
censed to put an occasional kink Into the
happy spirit ot tho throng ntte.ntlon was
called to thu fact that all well-regulated
functions should havu a master of cere
monies nnd by unanimous consent J. B.
Riley was put at that Indispensable post.
Then tho talent of tbo club was called
Into Bervlco. Ocorgo Shields approached
tho piano with conlldenco and sang "I'll
Lunvo My Happy Home For You" ami tov
eral others rendered similar selei'tlons. A
bunch of funny stories wero related, tho
honors In tho elnss being won, of course,
by a knight ot tlio grip, A. U. Thompson.
Tho festivities continued until nearly B
o'clock and might have gono on for an
other hour or so had not somo thoughtless
member announced that Frank Ilurkley,
Rd Smith, John Power and Charley Tracy
had orgai.tzcd a quartet and wero nbout
to spring a bong.
Socially, yesterday wns one of the most
brilliant days that Omaha has seen In
many a season. . Hepleto though It wns
with fashionable functions, they wero so
ndmlrnbly arranged that no two conflicted.
Hctwcon I ntul 0 o'clock Mlfs Lydln Monro
kept open bouse, assisted by a bevy of
young women, tho debutantes of the last
two seasons, and needless to say this hospi
tality was shared by n liberal representa
tion from the fashionable sot.
Miss Moore, Miss Fredrlckn Wossells of
Hannibal Mo., and Miss llurko of Salt
,ake City received together In tho drawing
room, which wns festooned with Christmas
green, red holly berries and mistletoe
lighted by numerous red-shaded candles.
Messrs .Jack Cudnhy, Joseph Darker, Jr..
nnd Floyd Smith presided In the punch
room. Here the samo red shade prevailed.
Smllnx and two tall red eandlci deco

greens trailed from the bookcase or wero
caught up with clusters of holly and mistle
toe. Tho dining room was all In red, tho
table being dressed In n centerpiece of red
nrnatlons, smart red bows and tall rcd-
shnded enndles.
Miss Monro wns further assisted by
Misses, Allen, Morse, Towle, tlrown, Mer
er, Mvcnsburg, Kllpatrlck, I'eck, Anno Leo.
Orcutt, I.omax, (Mints, Nolan and I.ntey of
St. l.ouls In dispensing good cheer through
out tho afternoon.
From fi until 7 o'clock Mrs. .T. K. Sum
mers, Jr., received In honor of Colonel nnd
.Mrs. J, K. hummers. Cut flowers, rather
than tho etistomary Yulotldo decoration,
prevailed, tho reception room being hnnd
somely deeorateil with pink roses, Mrs.
ouis Heed and Miss Summers served tho
punch. Tho celling nnd walls of the room
wero festooned with Hags. Mrs. Clifford
Smith nnd Miss I,eo presided In tho dining
room, wnere tho color scheme wns red. It
being carried nut In polnsettn nnd red rib
bon. On a silver tray n hnndsomo silver
bowl Illlcd with polnsettn occupied tho con-
ter or tlio table, which was further dressed
with n huge bow of rcil ribbon.
Mrs. Oeorgo A. Hoagland and Mrs.
Ilcnjamln F. Smith nsslstcd In the other
rooms, nnd during tho afternoon nbout
ISO guests wore received. As n fitting closo
of tho day. Hon. J. M. Woolworth, assisted
by Mrs. Howard, received between !l nnd
11 o'clock at Courtlond, to meet Mr. nnd
Mrs. Kdward Minor Fairfield. Tho largo
veranda had been Inclosed, heated nnd
furnished with Turkish rugs, couches and
easy chairs. Tho canvas sides wero hung
with Christmas wreaths caught up, empire
style, with hnndsomo bows of scnrlct. Tho
largo rooms within wero partially cleared
of furniture; tho mantels wero banked
wllh masses of southern smllnx, which also
trailed, above tho windows nnd doorways,
and this with nn occasional dash of scarlet
or cluster of holly berries constituted tho
only decorntlon.
In the dining room tho chnndcllcr was
wound with smllnx to the celling, whllo on
tho tnblo below a largo shower bunch of
carnations formed tho centerpiece, nnd hero
a buffet supper was served throughout tho
ovenlng.

n, V. Wilbon, who Is not unlike tbo ncc.

Sergeants Hudson and llnodrlch yesterday
Btleriiooii because bo was suspected of hav
lug In contemplation a deed as dark as his
kin. According to tho station house story
Wilson showed evidence of luck at policy
by having in his possession u roll of green
backs, nnd was succeeding fairly well In
the work; of reducing tbo stock of red
liquor nt a saloon, wboro bo becomo In
volved In a heated controversy with several
other gentlemen of color.
When tho dlsputo got to a certain pitch
Wilbon announced thnt arbitration would
bo possible only through tho ngency of
bullets, and hustled nut and armed him
elf with a big revolver. As ho was re
turning to tho scone of tho (rouble bo was
nipped, by tho oillrors, nnd a pnsslblu shoot
lng match was thus averted.
Wilson was accompanied by his brother
Oeorgo, a Janitor of tho Now York l.lfo

Three dry goods clerks paused behind the

SHERIDAN COAL
The best coal mined in Wyoming.
A Twentieth
Century Store
January is (lie mouth of putting to rights. The
clipping process has been introduced throughout, the
entire house. No corner so hidden that it is skipped.
In the holiday rush many odds and ends are left, and
at inventory they come to light - a few of this num
ber and a few of that. All these have been re-lick-eled,
re-priced. We want the room for new things
that are showing up in the receiving room already a
little early, but this is the one store that picks the
choice fruit when the best is on the top of the barrel.
We want your trade during 15)01, but we ask it
only if we deserve it.
The Clothing
Deprtrnent
in this store is the best within your reach. We do
not know of one that is better beyond it.
