Omaha will be a closed city Monday.
That Is, with a few notable exceptions tha
bulns houses of the metropolis will keep
their floors cloned durlxiu the day which
has been appointed as the substitute for
the Sunday Christina. The Commercial
club some time ago made inquiry among
the Jobbers, manufacturers, commission
houses and retailers, and the general
opinion seemed to be the business places
should close for the day.
Among the big retail houses, Thomas
Kliputrlck & Co., Thompson, Bo Id en & Co.,
the Dennett stores and most of the others
will be closed for the entire day. On the
other hand, J. L. ilrandtls & Sons, and
liayden Bros, will be open the whole day.
We have had an exceptlonul holiday
trade," said Robert Cowell of Kilpatrick's.
' Several days ago we pussed the mark of
our total for Ix-cember trade In preceding
years the rest Is all velvets The weather
lias been so exception.! Ily fine shoppers
have been able to be out every day, and
the shops are getting the advantage. We
feel we can a flu id to close."
All the Jobbing houses practically have
signified their indention of closing for Mon
day. They have no particular Incentive
for keeping open, as no belated Christmas
shopper will be wanting to rush in and
buy a hurried gift to mall to some one who
had unexpectedly sent a present. The
manufacturing houses also will generally
observe the day and the operatives will
have a chance to tune a little extra recrea
tion. The banks all have up their notices
of closing Mond iy.
The county ofllces. with' the exception of
the county treasurer, and all the city
offices will be closed. The offices In the
headquarters of the I'nlon Pacific and the
IJurlington will be closed the entire day
and the city ticket ofllces will be shut up at
noon.
t'nclo Sam Takes Rest.
While there Is no federal statute that
recognizes a holiday, the federal offices will
generally be closed Monday and no public
business will be tnuiarted. This applies to
the offices of the United States circuit
court, district court, custodian's office,
weather bureau, commissioner's court, pen
sion examiner's and immigrant Inspector's
offices and Internal revenue departments.
There will be but two carrier deliveries
from the postofflce Monday morning and
one delivery in the residence district. The
office will close at 10:30 a. m. for the day.
The money order office will not be opened
at all Monday. Christmas day the post
office will be open as usual on Sundays,
from 11:30 a. m. to 12:30, noon.
At the army building Monday will be
recognized as a holiday and the building
will be closed for public business all day.
The same rule will be observed on the
Monday following, New Tear's day.
BIG CATCH FOR MAN ASLEEP
Vie MeCarty Is Seen Making; Counter,
felts niKht I'nder Nose of
Blissful Dreamer.
Charles D. Townsend, who is accredited
with seeing things Invisible to the optics
of ordinary humanity, came very near
creating a sensation about the' federal
building yesterday morning by his supposed
discovery of the distinguished counter
feiter, Vlo McCarty, In the very act of
making and circulating spurious coin of
the realm right under the very eyes of the
authorities whose duties specifically are to
prevent Just such little irregularities. Mr.
Townsend wrote a note and hurried with It
to the federal building, the letter contain
ing this startling Information:
Captain John Webb, United States Secret
Service Agent, Omaha: Come to UW Doug

An investigation of Mr. Townsend's
alarming hallucination developed the fact
that he had but enjoyed an unusually
sound nap.
O'OrlrSi's New Oyster and Grill Room
Opened.
Tha grand opening of J. P. O'Brien's new
oyster and grill room at 1116 Farniim st.
yesterday was a big success, fully 2W peo
ple, comprised of the representative busi
ness men of Omaha, ate the sumptuous
dinner provided by the new proprietor.
The Buttlnsky club, headed by the Inimit
able Dave O'Brien with au "Irish turkey,"
was a prominent feature of the occasion.
This new cafe, which Is moderate In price
and conducted In a first-class manner, bids
fair to be one of the most popular resorts
In Omaha. The bar In connection with the
cafe Is one of the best In the city. We
note with pleasure that the product of a
home Institution, the Stors Brewing Co.,
is on Up and in this regard it Is not out
of place to state that the Stori Brewing
Co. is fast acquiring the reputation of
brewing the best beer a the Transinlssls
