\ little boys and girls plied up good sub
I stantlal food and clothing for tin benefit
k oC other little boys and girls who will nol
, . . have a happy Christmas. Il was decided 1
. ' . by Superintendent Lansing and the teachers
, ot the Sunday school of this church Ihat
there was too much urrerlng among lhe
destitute of Nebraska 10 have a public
i presentation of costly presents so Il was
L arranged that each Sunday school scholar
should bring a package ot something useful 1
which Is 10 be given to the Nebraska ne- :
. UeC commission , to be sent 10 the needy pooi

I well taught , and after It was all over Ihe
bricks composing tIre fireplac : ( boxes of

Everybody spends money for ChrIstmas
whether everybcy has money or nol. This n
facl has been fully established In Omaha durIng -
Ing the past two weells. Never before In the
recent history ot Omaha has the Christmas
trade been livelier . the demand for holiday mp
goods more urgent and the volume ot sales :
gr eater than In the past ten days. Sixteenih
slreel has fairly swarmed with crowds of
sh oppers. Commencing with a week 'ago :
the retan streets have presented an unusual ) '
anlmatel1 appearance and the crowds Increased -
creased with each succeeding day and even
Ing. Dy
g. Friday afternoon the streets were
al most Impassable and on Saturday Il was ,
simply a crush from 2 o'clock In the after -
noon until after 10 at nigh . On Salurday , .
ICernoon Chief ot Police Seavey found 'I I
: necessary lo station a police officer ' at the
.tntersecton ot Sixteenth and Douglas , around
w hich' the big crowds
naturally gravitated , to
prevenl peoPle from being run down by the
hundrel1s o carrIages passing back and forti m
Delvery wagons have been running on an :
elghleen-hour schedule and clerks , cashier S
and cash boys have <
been well nigh worked to
dealh. The big rush closed last night and Iho
resuls arc already apparenl. The consensus
of I large number of Intervlr obtained by
The Dee yesterday Is to the effect that Ihe
Irado has been fully as good as last year and In I
many lines better. The trade has exceeded even
Iho expectations of the most sanguine. Dul
ono man ot the many who talked 10 the reporter i-
porter was heard to complain. and he Is a
man who has never been known to adverUse
his h business since he came to Omaha.
Me . Brandeis oC the Boston store state
hat time volume of trade had been as greal
his t year as lasl. I anything It was large
The crowds of buyers " he said , "have been
greater than ever and they have bought more
Iool1s. but they have bought cheaper one 5.
The mlllness of the weather has naturaly
provenled an extensive trade In heavy a : r-
t ides . The scarcity of money has Illewlse
preventel1 I.eople from
buying time more expensive : -
pensive line oC gool1s. but they have bough
moro of the cheaper lines '
lnes and our trade 'has :
been mere than satisfactory to us. I'm so t-
Isfie 1 from the reports I have received that :
Omaha's trade this
year since the holiday
season set in . has been
teen fully better than any
city In time Missouri Valley. \ ,
Mr. Willam hayden of the firm of layden
Dros. said : "We are far , ahead of our ( rat he
lasl l year both In the volume of busine : Be
done and In the amounl of money takers In. I
The holiday trade has been
much
holl1ay larger tim : in
we expected. In fact In may of our lines wo
beleved we hal laid In stocks that woull1
lasl l us fully two .
years. They
tUly are clean : !
Ire
o ut . ' ' have never experIenced such a jam
In i our Store as we had last Saturday nigt tt.
I Is true Ihal people arc bu'lngcheaper
g oods . but our business convInces W tim at'
whie time quality ot goods sold Is under the
average " ot last year the quantity Is much
greater
Robert Iaten , malger of Falconer's : "Wo
are selling more goods this year , but of
cheaper grade. The cash receIpts ha" been
fully as large as last year Upon time whole
the trade has been
more than satisfactor 'y ,
satsfactory
considering time times and the weather Wit lie
times ( are hard and money scarce , I belie Ye
imo l continued mild belevo
mid weather has done more
to t prevent the general trade from largely ex-
ceeing last year's than any other factor. "
A. Manllelbzr , dealer In diamonds , ete , .
salSI : that ! he had been selling no iarg geom s ,
but hall sold Ihreo lmes as many goods of a
less expensive character as last year I
has had all the trade he could wel accommo-
date vlth the ( room al his disposal amid lhe
cash receipts have been as large as last year ,
but I has required three times as much work
to sell the goods
Mr. Lalman or the firm of Gatch & L : mis-
man said : "Our holIday trade In cut
holday glassware -
ware , tIne china , etc. . ha come up to our 1
most slgulne : expectations We have had m a
steady trade and the aggregate has bc .en
teen
much larger than tor
nuny previous ) 'ears.
In years past our trace has generally do : med
01 Saturday nights but today we are da lag i
a larger business than al any unarm since the
"
season opened.
Chase & Eddy . have hall a large trade , not
only In the cheaper line of books but In time
more expensive , "Our lIne ot editions de
luxe " said Mr. Chase , "has already been
closed out completely. We had calls for
twelve sets of ono edition this forenoon al Iter
afer
all had teen sold . Wo are simply cleaned
out of e\'erythlng In time holllay line. Of
course wo have nothing to complain ot because .

A. Hospe , jr. , has enjoyed an unusu : thly

The Board ot Park Commissioners held a
special meeting yesterday afternoon to con-
siller time deed by which time officIal seal
was to be haItI on Hascall's scheme for re-
l levlng Tom Murray from all further bur-
dens In time way of special taxes Like time
famous general , they marchell up bill and
Ihen t marched back again , and ended by doing
nothIng Hascal was on hand to defell hb
propositions . and IInll'O\'el1 the opportunity 10
abuse City Attorney Connseii . Iho newspapers
anti every one else who hall Nesumell to
point out the real Intent of time ordinance
lie asserted that It was an outrage that a ,
pack of importunate scribbler should be al- ;
lowell to interfere In such a matler. ,
"I think this Is an outrage , too. " suggested ( '
Mr. Millard ! , shoving a sheet of paper full
ot figures over time table , This was an es-
( Innate by City Engineer nose water of time
cost of Improving Valley. . street , of which
Mr. Murray would bo relieved as the first
installment of his compenfton for his donation -
nation ot nine acres of loath The estlmato
amounted to 21151.
Hascal did not care to discuss this phase
of the proposition , but Ito enlarged at a great
rate on the Imporlanco oC securIng the cn-
lemplated addition to nvervlew park and
Ihreatened that It the proposition was nol
accepted Murray would compel lie city to
grade Grover street . which would Involve
the board for a considerable amounl Iq ) SIl-
clal laxe3.
All member of time bORl1 expressed them-
selves as beIng opposed to accepting a Ilrppo-
sttlon with such a string attached as' the re-
mitance of special taxes for all time to
come. Judge Lake thought , lmowevr that
the board had nothing to say about I , anti
on his recommendalon an adjourmenl was :
taken wlthouf action , Judge Lake Ilelll that
the board could simply suggest measures 10
the council . and would have 10 abide by Its
action. It had not recommended thl propo-
silon In its llrennt ferns , anti It shoulll I
leave the responsibility wil ( the city coun-
ci , where Il belonged. The most I could
do Wi 10 point out 10 the mayor and coun-
cit time obnoxious provision , but Il Wa not
to be expected that this would be tclhm t
snore than It already Imew. I
