Perhaps It was the weather perhaps It
WOH the natural bent of humans to buy over
coats yesterday but the fact remains that
the Continental sold more overcoats yes
terday than all Omaha besides has sold In a
month. The mrn felt In duty bound to go
to thu Continental. They had promised so
much In the overcoat line. Many went because -
cause they had the utmost confidence In
the alc a few because they thought It
would do no harm to Investigate It.
They Investigated and were ovcrcoatcd.
Men were ovcrcoated at the Continental yes
terday who never hoped to have n warm coat
this Reason. These men got them for $5 ;
got them for five when only a week ago men
gladly paid ten and twelve and ulsters ,

The overcoats that sold for ten were the

The fifteen overcoats and ulsters are the
regular twenty to thirty dollar coats , the
creamiest part of the whole stock.
Now , these are facts. You can easily sub
stantiate It. It's beyond question after you
look It up. It ( Int-s sound ridiculous that
you can buy a ten dollar overcoat or ulster
for five dollars. Hut you can. Just the same.
You can't do It everywhere but you can at

The FIre and Police commission met yes
terday afternoon and granted a couple of
dozen additional liquor licenses. The first
cnso heard was the protest against the li
cense applied for by John Snydcr , at 2200
Military avenue. A delegation of Clifton
Hill residents , heads by J. M. Glllan , ap
peared to urge the objections of the property
owners. They declared that the location of
a saloon at that point was objectionable to
the residents of that locality , and especially
to the members'of the Presbyterian church ,
which was close to the proposed saloon.
After some consideration : the protest was sus
tained and the board refused to grant the
license.
Dr. W. H. Hanchctt , Ilev. Hobert T. lo-
hcrty and others appeared to protest against
the Issuance of a license to Paul Somcrs
to run a saloon at 913 Hickory street. Their
objections wcro based on the fact that the
aaloon was proposed to bo located In thu
midst of a purely residence district , and es
pecially because It was only a block from
Ilrownell hall ami 'In such a position that It
must bo pnesed and rcpasscd by the young
woman pupils during their hours of exer
cise. This license was also refused.
The protest against the license of ClinrkM
Loftmann at 1324 Howard street was not
considered because It referred to a row be
tween two parties In regard to the possession
at the building and did not refer to any
matter that could properly come before the
board. The license was granted. The pro-
lest against the application of Frank Sautter
tor a license at 1934 South Tenth street was
set for hearing next Tuesday night.
The following additional licenses were
granted : Paxton hotel , Fourteenth and
l'"arnam streets ; Mlllard hotel , 1220 Douglas

STIIIN l'l A .VKKiUIIOIIIIOOl ) HOW.
Mrx. Martini \VaHcrx Called Into Po
lice Court.
Martha Walters .was arraigned In police
court yesterday morning on the charge of
disturbing the peace In the vicinity of her
residence at Thirtieth and Charles streets.
She was arrested at the Instance of a neigh
bor , a colored woman , Mrs. J. II. Williams.
It appears that soma time ago Mrs. Wal
ters ordered the children of Mrs. Williams
not to cross her premises. This riled lira.
Williams , who Friday stopped a son of
Mrs. Walters , who was crossing her
yard , and ordered him never to do so acaln.
The child reported the matter to HB mother
and It la charged that thereupon Mrs. Wal
ters abused Mrs. Williams roundly in lan
guage that was not particularly well chosen ,
but was edifying to the neighborhood.
Queer Syntcni of NiiiuliiKT ( JuoijM.
The peculiar system of nomenclature pur
sued by certain business houses in respect to
designating their goods helps eventually to
Identify t lie in In the markets of the world.
Ono hoiiBO making a famous line of collars
and cuffs equalizes Its loyalty to America and
recognition of the real American by stamping
Its products with Indian names encountered
In tradition , trade or history. The quaint
musical names found In Cooper's and In other
works * dealing with the red man are em
ployed. As the firm In question produces
now styles frequently , It Is always calling
upon Its supply of Indian names , but the
list Is never depleted , cs one of 'tho firm Is
constantly on the lookout far.additions. It Is
interesting In view of thla fact to note that
the concern , which Is Earl & Wilson , has not
adhered to thu Indian system In naming tin
new line of cuffs coming under the P. Q ,
brand. These arc , as the Initials suggest ,
-'popular quality" goods ; they are of recent
Introduction , the style * are every one of
them decidedly E. & W , In their character ,
and possess all the other points of merit , to
put them In the E. & W. class , lint their
namco nro iirborary , being those of different
kinds of wooil Ironwood , etc. , etc. The nyfl-
tom of using Indian jiames Is Etlll followed
by Earl & Wilson on all their goods , except
the P. Q , ruffs. It will be Interesting to
note and learn how many kinds of woods
Earl & Wilson will find to thus designate
their popular quality cuffs.

Victim nfViin < anil K\icmiire. |
There Is a sad story associated with the
death "of Mrs. Hynn , which occurred at her
home , Th'lrty-olxlh and W streets , yester
day. The woman died of pneumonia , but
was no ICES the victim of death by starvation
and neglect. The Hynn household has for
sonio time been the sccno of abject pov
erty. Itynn Is a cripple and unable to work
and In a degree the family has been a pub
lic charge upon the county. But with such
assistance as the county gave the family
could not got along and the parents and four
small children have been patient yet keen
sufferers from hunger and cold. Mrs. Hyan
battled with fortitude against fate , but ,
I > oorly clad , poorly fed and poorly sheltered ,
eho finally surrendered to the Inevitable yes
terday. The matter of nmcHoratlng their
condition haa been confided to Commissioner
Hector , who will give the sufferers his lin-
mcdlatu and personal attention.
iiN AmieMilloii Scut Intent.
The announcement made by Congressman
Mercer to the effect that the new postolllco
would bo built whether this city wag an
nexed to Omaha or not has strengthened the
faith of the anncxatlonlsts and made a num
ber of new converts to the project. Quito
a number of business and professional men
here were slow about coming out In favor of
annexation for fear that In the event an
nexation carried the government would not
erect a public building. Very few residents
have as yet signed the petition requesting
the council to allow the question to be voted
on at the spring election , but It Is thought
that a largo number will sign at a mass
meeting which is to bo called before long.

| ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM |
Judging by the energetic efforts the loc ;
courts of the Independent Order of Korcs
crs arc making for the success of their b
public meeting at lloyd'a theater on Januai
11 , they ore evidently very ambitious as i
the magnitude of the'affair. As a matter i
fact , they expect to make It the largest an
meat brilliant gathering ever seen I
Omaha under the auspices of a fralerni
body. While the cream ot local talent wl
assist In a musical program , the most li
terestlng feature of the evening will dotib
loss be the reception to the supreme clili
ranger of the order , Orouhyatckha , M. 1
Several state nnd city officials have bee
Invited nnd will be present to meet th
famous doctor.
Ily birth Dr. Oronhyatckha Is a fill
blooded Indian of the Mohawk tribe , who , b
great personal effort on his own part , wean
an entrance Into Kcnyon college , Ohli
H was while here that ho secured the friend
ship of the prltico of Wales , which frlcnil
ship was the stepping stone to his prcson
distinction as an orator , n scholar and
gentleman. At the time of thu visit th
chief of the Six Nations deputized Oroiih )
atckha to deliver an address to the prlnct
His royal highness WBH so deeply liitcreste
In the accomplished young Indian that h
Invited him to continue his studies at Ox
ford university , Kngland. Ills career hs
been one of such brilliant advancemen
that today he stands pre-eminent as a ma
who , In the short space of half a lifetime
has accomplished In culture and clvlllza
tlon what has taken the rest of the worl
centuries and centuries to develop. As ni
orator the doctor has the reputation n
awakening Instant Interest and charm th
moment he stands before an audience.
The main object of his visit to Omahi
Is to Institute n high court of the order fo
the Jurisdiction ot Nebraska , nnd the con
ventlon will be attended by delegates fron

The affair at the theater Is expected to hi
ono of the most conspicuous In the history o

tee from all the lodges In the city anil Soutl
Omaha has been at work for weeks on tin
plans. The program will bo of cxccptlona
character nnd of Interest to all secret so
clcty men without regard to the orders tc
which they may belong. The principal fea
ture will , of course , be-on address from tin
lenrned Indian , but It will bo supplcmcntci
by the efforts of the best musical nnd Iltcrarj
talent In the city.
Oronhyntckhn will be accompanied on lib

a happy resume cf the many pleasant gath
erings end occasions of the year. These
Included the pilgrimage uf June 19 to Grand
Island to meet Imperial Potentate Charles
Field and to escort htm to the outskirts of
the desert of Iowa , when he was on his
way to the Imperial council meeting. Two
ceremonial sessions were held during the
year , ono on April 30 , when twenty-three
novices were led to the haven ot rest over
the burning sands , and the other on Novem
ber 27 , when the number was eighteen. The
potentate'also Hays :
"it gives mo great plimsuro to state that
Tangier continues to enjoy an excellent and
enviable reputation among the nobility of
North America for hospitality and excellent
exemplification of the work. In point of
'numbers ' wo stand above the average.
"While thttso of us who have been entrusted -
trusted with the- cares of office during the
past year have undoubtedly done some things
which may have met with critldsm , we
have striven in all things to promote the
best Interests of our glorious ( emplc. It Is
very gratifying to note the spirit of true
harmony and good fellowship which prevails
among our largo membership. "
The same pamphlet also contains the re
port of Hecordcr Wettllng , another of the
officers re-elected. The report shows an ox-
ccllent financial condition , with n slight
favorable balance. The statement on mem
bership shows that the rolls of the temple
