CHRISTMAS TIDE.
Gelling Ready For the Christmas Fes
tival.
The Crowd of Slioppere , Anxious
Children and matters in
General , *
Christmas day ia at hand and the
citizens of Omaha are busy getting ready
for the holiday aeason. All day long the
stores are crowded with persons in search
of presents for young , old and middle
aged. While a great many packages are
carried out of the stores by customers , it
is a notable fact that the Christmas trade
of this year does not compare with that
of last year in any rcopoct. The trade
this year in holiday goods will bo fully
50 per cent lees than that of 1833.
While many goods are bought , yet they
are mostly of a cheap character. A great
many toys are being secured for the little
oiien , but the older mombetn of the
families , as a rule , will have to content
themselves with very small donations.
The etocko of holiday goods in the vari
ous stores are still very complete , and
from the appearance of them it wonld
seem that very low goods have bocn sold ,
and a largo amocnt will have to bo car
ried over to another year.
The cauao of these small sales is the
fact that money is very close and thoeo
who have money are a little shy of getting
rid of it unless It gees where it will coant.
A dealer in fancy goods rom.irKed to a
reporter Saturday evening that it was
easier last year to soil a dressing case , or
any other fancy article , for $15 , than to
sell the game thing this season for § 5 ,
The trade in Christmas cards this year
is not as largo as usual. In designs there
does not seem to bo anything much except
( liwera and spring scones , and the typical
boll is run ? in with monotonous frequency
on aatin , plush , card-board and paper.but
thoaa who are indisposed to waste their
hard earnings may get some few crumbs
of comfort in learning that they are no
longer as favorably regarded ns the sim
pler nd loss expensive ones. The plum
cards vary In price from live cents to forty
cents , and really beautiful ones are to bu
had for ten to fifteen cunte. One eastern
firm has made a decided hit in ilvo or six
designs , which are simple , chnato and
truly artistic. The cur da are still' Bristol
board tinted a soft cream and decorated
with engravings , the nontimento being
tereo , brief and poetic. Figures or
groups are rourujcnted , the moat charm
ing buing a little bedroom interior with a
sweet and thoughtful mother bending
over a crib to kins her sleeping child.
Her prayer for the curly huad'a safety Is
written in imnll ecrip on one ride
Ffvlicsomo children aud nursery sconea
of mid tnorrlmmit cuuipnau the others In
this claed of cards , which nro olfored nt
10 uontd and 20 centi each.
Anothtr evidence that the trade of
this eoason is not nearly BO iargu as that
of lat year , is the fane that thu express
companies and pontullico department arc
not receiving nearly ED largo a number of
packages for transportation , Thoreeeems
to bo an uncertainty In the money mar
ket which makes purchitors of Christmas
proeontn extremely careful.

Mr. George Sled lock , the veteran sex
ton of Prospect Hill cemetery celebrated
hisG2d birthday yesterday. Ho was remembered
bored by the Coffin club , at Drexel &
Maul B undertaking rooms , with a beau
tiful neck scarf to protect his throat from
this severe weather.
Ho has boon sexton at Prospect Hill
cemetery for more than twenty-five yoais
and although his hair is as white an the
. snow of winter ho still says ho is as much
of a boy an over and delights In snging :

MOKE LAND SEAEKS ,
A Party of Tlicm Arrested in
Yesterday.
List week United States Marshal Bier-
bower Trent to Chicago and ledged com
plaint a'ainst eleven different 'parties ,
whoso names cannot bo given at present ,
for perjury , indictments having been
found against them by the United States
grand jury in this city.
It seems that two Chicago parties em
ployed elovcn or twelve men to como out
to Nobraiska in the vicinity of Valentino
and enter up land and then turn it over
to the Chicago parties to bo used as a
stock rsnch , contrary to law.
Commissioner Iloyno issued the warrants
'
rants in' Chicago and the ar
rests were probably made yesterday , and
the parties will either have to give bonds
or wilt be brought back to Nebraska at
once.
Marshal Bierbovror returned yentor-
day but loft deputies to attend to the
rest of the work.
