I * * THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THIUKSDAY , DECEMBER 28 , 1807. HOLIDAY TRADE IS GOOD Omaha Merchants Tied Thsir Bnsinosa Much Improved , CHRISTMAS BUYERS ARE OUT IN DROVES StrrctN TliroiiKCil niul Store * Jniiimcil \VlillP All Sort * of ThlnR * Arc PtirclniNril ( or ( llftM for I nntl Old. The Rtrccts were thronged last night with busy shoppers , who hastened from store to store In search of Christmas Rifts. The Jate mild weather has brought out many people who deferred purchaslnR whllo the cold ( blasts from the north blow and ; the snow Bcurrlcd around the corners. Proprietors of the various' stores say that this year's sales will bo a third larger than last. 'Tho reason for -this , " said ono of thorn last , night. "Is that everybody this year seems to have a little money. Times are better In Omaha than they liavo been for many a day and those who recognize that prosperity Is once ir.oro at hand do not hoard up their spare cash as they formerly Old. Then , too , the enow makes a vast difference. Last year the jmvcments were bleak and bare , and people hardly knew that Christmas was at hand un- itll It had become a thing of the past. Snow anil Christmas go hand In hand , for when enow Is present early In the season It Is then time for the majority of people to look for ward to the advent of Christmas. " Perhaps 'tho ' most Interesting departments of the 'big ' stores to visit arc these devoted to toys. 'Hero ' the aisles are thronged early nud late by an eager crowd of youngsters. ( Dolls and horns ami wagons and glmcracks calculated to make the Juvenile heart leap with Joy are displayed on the counters. Hero the little onurf Importune their ciders to cx- lilblt their faith In the good old custom In making others happy , and thereby many a ale Is niaic. "I toll you Chrlstams Is no picnic for us , though , " said a pretty little clerk In ono of thr stores last night , as she leaned wearily against a counter. "When I came to work In this big store I thought -would bo a snap. I thought I coirld chew gum all day , wait on a customer once In a while and then get my money at the end of the week , like my big elstcr does , illut that was only a dream. When I got through work at 10 o'clock I go right home , get my supper and go to bed. Oh , It's no snap I can tell you. I will be glad when It's all over. " Special olHcers arc stationed In all the larger establishments for the detection of any persons who do not purchase on the square bill up to the present time no shoplifters have been caught. What few minor articles have 'been ' taken have been for the most part picked up by youngsters and are of little value. The amount of thieving this year as compared to last argues well for the honesty of the holiday shoppcra. Now so-called remedies bprlng up every day like mushrooms , but the people still cling to Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup. Calendars at Hospo's , 1513 Douglas. " HAVKHI..Y NAMES 1HS DKI'UTY.

Contempt Ciutur Will Ilo Ilcnnl Till * Morning , The contempt case , wherein Gilbert M. Hitchcock Is charged with conspiring with the membcrn of the Flro and Police Com mission In violating an Injunction Issued by the court , came before Judge Kcysor yester day morning , and on 4ho court's own motion It was passed until IhU morning. Thla action was due to the fact that Judge Keysor had a case on trial In which a number of witnesses had been subpoenaed , and as It would consume the greater portion of the day , ho felt that It had the right-of-way. When c&urt convened Attorney Hall , rep resenting the defendant , Hitchcock , moved to strike the amended Information from the Hies. Ho said that ho was not ready to answer , as ho did not know upon which In formation the state proposed to stand. At torney Slmeral In behalf of the court re plied that the amended Information was filed yesterday and that a copy was served upon the defendant duilng- the forenoon , which fact gave him ample time to file his answer It ho used ordinary diligence. Attorney Hall Insisted that he would not file his answer until ho knew upon which Information the state proposed to rest Its case. Referring to the new matter set out In the amended Information , Attorney Sim- oral said that It simply charged that Hitch cock was a co-conspirator In this , that ho aided and abetted the members of the Flro and Police Commission In violating the court's Injunction , At this point In the proceedings Judge Keysor asked the attorneys how long It would take them to argue the motion to strike , and upon being Informed that It might'require the greater portion of the day ho passed < the case un.til 10 o'clock this morning.

The men were arralgnctllMonday afternoon. The Victims of the forgers testified and several officers wcro ulso placed upon the stand , among them Chief of Detectives Cox , who was supposed to have the checks In his pos session , which were to be offered In evi dence. Cox , however , stated that he had unfortunately lost the valuable papers , and , consequently , the trial came to a standstill' ' with a motion by the defense that the charges against the men bo dismissed. Judge 3onion at ti o'clock th.it evening took the case under advisement until yesterday morning. When the case was again called up the de fense , In order to moro thoroughly establish Its Innocence , asked that the witnesses for the state be recalled. The case was forced over through stress of other business until 5 o'clock last evening. Although the de fense asked that several witnesses bo re called they were not placed on the stand , and the attorneys took up their arguments. The chcckc , which had been recovered by Cox , were not olaced In evidence. At the con clusion of luo addrrescs made by the at torneys , Judge Gordon thought there was enough evidence outside that contained In the forged papers to send the men to a higher court , nnd accordingly bound each prisoner over In the cum of $700.
