The oldwt rrwldcnt has risen to atato that
tlio crowd of Chrlfltmas nhoppers nnil night-
Hucm that thronged the iirlnclpal hu lii"as
streets of Omaha from earl > Satunlay nfter-
noon until well along toward mldnlglit was
ono of tlio ( argent over Been at tlio holiday
season In this city. In fact , It Is said to
closely rival the numerous crowds that
vvcmled their way up and donn the main
Btreets In the ' 80s , when boom times were
on This Is the testimony not only of old
Omalmns who wcro caught In the Jam In
front of some of the biggest shop windows ,
lint of tilt- tradesmen who handled the
crowds Inildo the stores and the policemen
who performed a similar duty on the out
side. Whether the people purchased any
considerable hills of Roods the hooks of
the local merchants will alone disclose.
The fair , warm weather was undoubtedly
responsible for bringing out n fair proportion
tion of the crowd on the street. Hut the
American youth and his sister came out to
* co the Christmas decorations and glided and
toy burdened Christmas trees that are
usually put tip to attract trade. It makes
but little difference to the school children
whether It Is clear and warm or snowing
nnd blowing a regular bllz/aid ; they arc
1 > ouml to bo on hand. They wore out In
full force on Saturday , and so far as feast
ing their eyes on ptctty things In the shop

ticipations wcro realized.

alt aglow with hell > and evergreen and mis

from these nevcr-falllnc emblems of Christ
mas discovers that It Is the weather and not
his dates that are nt fault liver since the
Pilgrims Initde-d on Plymouth Hock Ameri
cans have made these decorations play a part
In their holiday fcstlvltlco In tlio old New
nnglnnd villages where the snow lay four
feet deep on Iho level and cumbered ( he
mountains and vnllejH with huge banks and
drifts the green trimmings afforded u pretty
suggestion of llfo and beauty against the
monotonous stretch of white. And even here
In Oniiha , where Christmas day more often
finds muddy streets nnd warm sunshine , the
evergreen nnd holly piny no unimpoitant
part. Two weeks befcno Christmas the trees
nnd branches begin to arrive nt the big com
mission houiies nnd later they arc parceled
out to the retailers Altogether they con
stitute n considerable featuie of tlio Chi 1st-
mas trade , for It Is estimated that about
half n dozen car loads nre biought hero
every Christinas. The various Ingredients of
these decorations are drawn from eveiy di
rection. The gieen from the north and the
mlstlotoo from tlio soiitli and cast.IUv
the magnlilront evergreens of the Maine
woods are not seen so far west , the Omaha
dcalois obtain a very satisfactory substitute
from the Illack Hills and from the north
ern forests of Wlsconnin and Michigan. This
\ear the bulk of the trees come from South
DalvOta. They are of all sires , but aie very
similar in cinality. The smallest evergreens
run tlnee or four feet high and the largest
that have been shipped In this jcar aic
eighteen foot. The wholesalers charge fiom
11V4 cents to $3 for these trees , according
to size , nnd from the ictallcrs they are pur
chased nt pi Ices ranging from 50 cents to
$4. 'llio big trees Hnd a inatkct In the
churches nnd Sunday schools and at famllj
reunions , while the others are used for dee-
oiatlons and for Christmas trees In smaller
gatherings
Hut while Christmas trees nro gradually
finding less general use than In > ears past ,
the demand for holly nml kindred decorating
materials Is constantly Increasing. The
staple in this line arc the wrcathlngs , which
play a pait In every form of holiday deco
ration. Vast quantities of the-so arc used
In the big stores and other business estab
lishments , as well as In the family celebra
tions. Tliu wreathing Is shipped In from
the north nnd gcncrall > comes In bunches
containing about twenty yards each. Tiics
are disposed of by the wholesalers at $
each nnd the retailer makes whatever prol !
bo can
The holly comes In Immense- boxes , fron
which It Is ladled ont to the ictallcrs In
Mich quantities as they desire. The bes
that reaches this market comes from Marj
land , but many of the dealers arc using a
species that comes from Oklahoma. Till
Is slightly Inferior to the Mao land prod
net. but answers a very satisfactory pur
pose. The holly Is sold by the Jobbers a
JICO a hot , or $125 a barrel.
The hulk of the mistletoe that Is belli ) ,
used here this > car comes from Oklahomi
and sells nt from 20 to 30 cents a bunch
Comparatively small quantities of this aie
sold , as u very small bunch hiing In a con
venleut section of the parlor furnishes ai
excuse for just as many oscillatory Incidents
as a whole barrel.
iV novelty In this line Known as the Gal
Us wreath Is finding n ready sale this year
Tlio leaves resemble the mulberiv am
these are entwined with a sort of wreathing
composed of a much lighter shade of greet
and dotted with Immortelles. The cffec
Is veiy striking and picturesque. These
wreaths sell for about $ ! ! n do/en.
A number of the commission houses arc
handling bunches of needle pines , vvhlcl
maKe a very agreeable variation when com
bined with other forms of decoration. Verj
few of these are on the marKct , however
and the demand Is conllnd to a few home
decorations. *

partly constructed by the Odd Fellows so-
elntv nnd n Inilirn rnnm Is still maintained
In It. The wing constituting the chapel
proper has been for jcnrs used for re

missioner of the grn ° ral land olllces states
that the records sho-v It to bo government
property and accordingly the land officers
hero have been Instructed to dlsposo of It

structure would be practically valueless If
lorn down. It was appraised at n very low

In the vicinity will purchase It fiom the
