busted, smashed, evaporated, annihilated?
Well, rather," said one of the head men In
a large department store. "The cold
weather certainly did keep the business
clown, and while many articles of clothing,
bedding, footwear, etc.. were sold, of
course, yet things not calculated to keep
out the cold got dusty on the counters and
shelves. Today Is the first normal Satur
day we have. had since early in January,
or right after the post-holiday slump.
"The crowds today have not been extraor
dinary, but seem large, owing to the scar
city of shoppers on the successive line of
cold days that have gone before. . It was
noticeable, ; however, thnt each customer
bought more than usual, and seemed to be
making an effort to mako up for lost time.
For instanoe.'we had a sale on shirts and
disposed of Just 715 dozens, orthe entire
Stock. It Is safe to say that no similar rec
ord was ever made on shirts In Omaha.
"Tonight is hardly a fair business Satur
day evening and yet the crowds seem large
because they have been lacking for so long.
A feeling of activity and cheerfulness Is
pronounced, though, and every merchant
In town Is rejoicing over the thaw."
Vendors and Brfgara Out.
Street vendors and beggars made their
first appearance on the streets for nearly
sixty days, not In their usual force, but suf
ficiently numerous to attract considerable
sttentlon. At one street corner a lightning
charcoal artist drew portraits and a crowd
constantly surrounded him all afternoon.
'It looks like 'a city again," observed a
man on the rear of a Famom street car
aobut 8:30. "A week ago Saturday night,
with all the stores open, and despite tho
Illuminations, It resembled the closing hours
of Memorial day. You can see the retail
business fairly leaping with every notch
the mercury climbs. I guess the business
men who demanded cold weather In the
fall are convinced that one can get. too
much of n good thing. 'Anyhow, It seems
that all concerned feel glad about It well,
possibly exclude the coal men, but you will
note they were about ready to qolt business
when the refrigerating act was rung off."
Tard of Thanks.
We hereby extend our sincere thanks to
the many kind friends und neighbors who
consoled us with kind nets during the Ill
ness and death of our beloved daughter
and vlstcr Cecilia. To all who have shown
sympathy and kindness In our affliction we
feel grateful, hoping profoundly that they
will never be called upon to undergo such
grief and sorrow.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Merchaits Prepare to Bost Their Business
Along with the City.
WILL ADVERTISE ADVANTAGES TO TRADERS
Wednesday Bargain Day Proves Snc
cessfol to the Extent of Encour
aging; the Merchants to Per
slst In the Plan.
Merchants In . South Omaha are taking
hold of the boosting proposition In good
shape and propose to continue the Wednes
day bargain days. Iast Wednesday the
sales showed a marked Increase over the
first bargain day a week previous. Plans
are now being made for systematic adver
tising by the local merchants. John Flynn,
one of the principal merchants here, said
yesterday there is no keeping South Omaha
In the background as regards improvements.
He declares that w'.th the coming of Im
provements slated to tliia year the. mer
chants' will naturally be benefited. "I-et
us all get out and boost," said Mr. Flynn,
"and let the pocple of South Omaha know
what we have here. I want to see the
merchants use printers' Ink and exert
themselves in an effort to advertise South
Omaha."
Other business men are just as anxious
as Mr. Flynn. C. M. Schneider said that
his sales on Wednesdays were increasing
through Judicious advertising. He is of
the opinion that every retail dealer lu the
city ought to let people know through the
press what he has for sale. With the com
ing of warmer weather business men say
that trade will be Increased and thut before
long Sntfth Omaha will louk like old times
agala, with the streets and stores crowded
iwmt business hours.
Missionary Praise Service.
A missionary praise service will be held
on Thursday afternoon of this week at
the home of Mrs. M. Carl Sniitli, 1001 North
Twenty-second street. Only a portion of
the program had been arranged yesterday.
Mrs. A. A. Thurlow will lead In the de
votional services. Mrs. Emma Byers, secre
tary of the Young Woman's Christian as
sociation of Omaha, will deliver uo address
on "The Missionary Workers." Mrs. Oecrgo
Tllden will speak on "The Value of Mis
sionary Work." Rev. Dr. Wheeler will
deliver a short address and Mrs. Henry C.
Richmond will sing a solo. Following the
program there will be a general conversa
tion on iniiislonnry work. Refreshments
will be served.
Street Force Ilusy,
Saturday a hulf dosen men In the employ
of the street department rleurcd away the
ice from the catch balns in the business
portion of the city und dug trench
through the snow along the gutters. This
work is being dune preparatory to tho ex
pected thaw. Ice around the catch basins
Is thick and aolid und It takes a good
husky man with a pick to looeen it so that
wagons can load and cart It away. The
Ice taken from the gutters Is thrown Into
the street, as the expense of removing it
would be too much fur the street fund to
stand at this lime.
Democrats Set Date.
A meeting of the democratic city central
committee was hekh Friday night at the i
offlco of P. C Caldwell In the Pioneer
block, it was decided to hold primaries
for tho selection of delegates for the nom
inating of a school board ticket on March
10. Tho convention is to be held on March
11. Three delegates will be elected from
each ward and these delegates will namo
the ticket in convention. A vacancy on
the committee in the Sixth ward was filled
by the appointment of George Hauptman.
There Is to be only one voting place for the
primaries und this place will be named
by tho committee at its next meeting.
Another Da mane Claim.
John Johns has filed with tho city clerk
through his attorney, E. R. Ielgh, a claim
against the city for 12,000. He alleges that
he was severely Injured by falling on a
sidewalk at Twenty-fifth and N streets on
February 12. While the council has not
taken any action it is presumed that this
ease will go the way of others and be re
ferred to the city attorney for a report.
John Culkln, who hiod a claim for :.O0O
for a broken leg caused by a fall on a
slippery sidewalk, has filed notice that
he will appeal from tho action of the coun
cil and will sue the city. In all of these
damage claims where falls were received
on account of slippery sidewalks the city
attorney has held thut the municipality Is
not liable, as the walks were not ob
structed. Death of Mrs. McLean.
Mrs. C. A. McLean, mother of J. A. Mc
Lean, superintendent of schools of South
Omaha, died at her home at Red Oak, la.,

at Twenty-ninth and Monroe streets, was
held up about 11 o'clock Friday night while
on lis way home. After taking I.', all the
money the old man had. the robber com
pluiut d bri auf t he could not secure more.
After a second search of pockets. Guhl was
struck cm the htad with some blunt luxtru
n.ent SJid 1 suffering severely from ths
wound. Galil Is not able to give much of
a description of tho robber and the police
have not made any urrestp in tho case.
(ruHi In I'nvnr,
It may, or it may not, be premature to
pat ourselves or our friends on the back
for the success attending the Wednesday
"Bargain" propoBition, but yes or no we
are here to say thanks and come again.
We have to say as we did last week, "Not
prepared, but we're coming along with the
goocljs and the prices," and we feel now no
one needs worry about the results.
We have the promise of several of our
prominent grocers that they would' make
an Impression this week If they had to
"crack some eggs." and you can always
look for something doing In tho dry goods
line. Tho shoe men, furnishers and cloth
iers claim to have something on tap that
will tie a tie of friendship between them
and their South Omaha patrons.
Bargain day Is a good thing. It's good for
everybody, the landlord, the taxpayer, the
merchant and tho buying public. Who
wouldn't sooner spend his money at home,
especially when he can save money by do
ing so.
Watch for the early announcement of
tho progressive merchants that belong to
the "bargain" day bunch.

Minority flrport tarries After Lively
Discussion. Althongh Hill Is
Killed by Penafr.
PIERRE, S. P., Feb. IS. (Special Tele-
, gram.) The senate today held a very short
f'sion, only presenting new tills appro
priating t'iO.SOO for printing, by committee,
and to amend the liquor license law to al
low a license vote to stand when ones
taken, by Deerlng. An adjournment was
then taken to listen to the house discussion
of the primary measure.
Practically the whole of the afternoon
was taken -up In the house on the (Ukciib
slon of the primary law. While the house
discus: Ion took aliout the same course us
the senate discu.selo'n, It did not call out
t lie acrimony in remarks which went with
the senate action. The matter started with
a motion by Stokes und the chairman to
adopt the adverse committee report and
Turner of Faulk, another member of the
committee, moved the substitution of a
minority report, which favored the bill.
Carroll led for the minority report In a
set prepired speech and wus followed by
Turner of Faulk In a radical talk as to
th? objections of the committee lo the pe
tition, which he said were too puerile to
be considered. Holmun and Rogdn spoke
for the majority report In which the former
declared thut the members of the house I
were expected to do their duty as they !
considered the right of any matter and '
that the petition presented was so faulty
that he could not consider It as a petition
at all conforming to legal requirements.
Rogde declared that the petition showed
evidence that that portion of the law de
sired which gave a county local option pro
visions had been attached after the mimes
had lieen secured and was ton faulty to
be considered. Apland, cue of the silent j
memliers, took a strong position for the
primary law and declured It to be the duty
of the legislature to enact It, even If there
were rome minor Irregularities. His tulle
wus that of an old farmer and he was
cheered several times before he completed.
The vote us taken showed thirty-eight
KtipiKirtlng the committee and forty-seven
the minority report. As the matter' lias
aliemiy been killed for the session by the
senile action Ibis vote Is only for the pur
pose of gelling a record.
The only other business of the house was
the Introduction of a few bills, the prin
cipal of which were to strike out the law
prodding beavers, by the live stock com
mittee; to allow clerks of courts to adjourn
matters before the court In tho absence
of the judge, by the judiciary, committee,
and providing for peddlers' licenses, by
Wolsemouth.
