ISSUANCE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED People sf Omaha Are Learning Les sons of Economy from fca Sqneese of the Parse j of Late.- s While planning to continue the , with holding of entire cash payments and sub stituting cashier'a cherka until after the monthly payrolls of December are met, bankers of Omaha propose to retire the checks aa fast as possible and not . Issue more of them. "The cheeks ar being retired ,' every day," said Henry W. Tates, president of th Clearing Hou association. "We shall continue to retire them. I do not know of any new ones being 'issued, un less It be a few 31 and 33 checks needed for change." The rule has been in effect in Omaha and generally through the west. Just thirty busi ness dsys. The pay rolls of Kovember 1 were paid in 80 to 40 per cent cash and the bal ance in . cashier's checks. Gradually the situation brightened and half, money and half checks were paid before the rule had been In effect two weeka, while 'many bualneaa houses paid their employes all cash. As the pay envelopes f were passed out Monday, front 60 to 90 per cent ot the amount was paid tn caah, and tn most In stances the employes received all caah, where the firms are receiving caah each day, nothing .bat real money goes over the counter to employes. Will Make Christmas Normal. Trade for Christmas, it is expected, will be normal, but an economical wave seems, to be slashing Its surf dangerously close to Omaha. Aa a result a number of clerks In the large stores are working two weeks each month and resting two weeks. This Is true In the millinery departments of two of the large department stores. . The system of "every-other-week" was not needed last year to keep " the pay rolls down. The miyinery business was good nnMl the holidays arid the experienced trimmers and saleswomen did not lose a day. Since November 1 a great many of the mil liners have had but two weeks worjt, but this condition is not expected to continue more than two weeks longer, according to the merchants. i Similar conditions are said to be felt at the markets, and tt is little wonder there is talk of prices going down. Th demand for plain things has never been better, but fancy groceries are at a standstill. CELEBRATES END 0F FLURRY Braadrle Store Decoration Follow the Roman Idea, of Stsrnallalna Com mercial Triumph. v Without waiting or even asking the sanc tion of timorous and languid New York and Chicago, bankers the Brandels atore has -'Inaugurated a brilliant festival In celebration ot the end of the flurry In )maht. ....... . The entire store, which Is : admirably adapted to massive decoration, has been arrayed in a brilliant setting, depicting a Roman tempi erected to Mercury, god of commerce. Tills lavish scenic display la further embellished with a charming flower show. . A hundred dosea American Beauty roses are gracefully arranged -ft'l-h -banks of palma and fern tn the light court . - The Brandeia firm declares .that elabo rate as the decorations are they are quite in keeping with the feeling ot Jubilation In Omaha that the financial flurry,, never serious at Its worst, has now entirely dis appeared and Omaha retail business Is again normal and showing a 'healthy in crease. The central theme of the store decora tion Is particularly appropriate. The Ro mans were prone to erect temples and to offer thanks to Mercury, god of commerce, when trouble had been averted and mer cantile arts flourished, and the decorations at Brandels show faithfully In design and ornamentation the structure and decora tions of a Roman temple built for this purpose, . . ... i Mercury Is shown, - surrounded by the four seasons, each bearing appropriate of ferings of tho season's plenty. The tri umphant Roman eagle crowns the groups and scores of Cupids, In playful posture, ornament the frieze that runs arotmd the great light court. Groups ot statuary lend dignity and grace t the decoration and temple entrances, brilliantly lighted and decked with garlands, stand to th east and west of the main groups in the deco rative scheme. It Is declared to be the most elaborate decoration ever shown n a western store, and It is causing a great deal of talk, both on account of Its beauty- of construction and because It signalises he end of the financial flurry In Omaha, Anno tncmnta, wedding stationery and calling cards, blank book and magaslne binding.

"W want you to com and go on rec ord as favoring the policy of approprlat ing 160,000,000 annually for the Improve ment of the deserving rivers and streams," writes the president. "The Improvement of rivers, our natural highways, , and harbors, pur natural gateways, will add Immensely to the facilities of moving both freight and passengers and the necessity of .such addition is apparent and admitted by all classes. Whatever affects trans portation facilities of this nation touches its economic life at the venry renter. The appropriations for rivers and harbors by tha government has been S per cent or less of the revenue ot the country. W must demand a more liberal proportion of the. revenue derived from commerce for Improving the natural channels of trade and transportation." Before returning to . Omaha Senator Saunders and Mr. Wead will visit New Tork, Boston and Philadelphia. Gov ernor Sheldon will return as soon as the congress adjourns.

Paul than it Is tn Omaha." aald Mr. Left wich. "Because of local conditions the feeders who must buy corn are paying 10 cents more per bushel this year. I can buy my feed In Omaha or Washington county for less money and drive my feed ers to the farm at DeSoto from the yards at Smith Omaha, without having to load and ship them to the north central part of the state.

This Cecreaee Is at tributed wholly to the falling off In the distilling tax In Omaha and vicinity. There has been a material Improvement tn the collection of all other characters of Internal revenue for this district. Be cause of repairs being made to the Omaha distillery and as the whisky and spirits business Is practically a cash business, the sales to retailer hav been materially lessened during the month and th revenue tax consequent! much lessened. The decrease of revenue on distilled spirits Is the largest during the month of November, 1907, la the Omaha district for many years. Th ordinary November re ceipt are $300,000. but It will be noted that Curing the paat month the decrease has been about ttit.OOO below the general aver age, and ape over half less than in November- IH PRATT MARES FIERY ANSWER Colonel Sayi Wife llarried mm. f0j Hit ILrney.

Mescal beaa eating has been introduced among th Winnebago Indians, brought from the south by visiting Indiana, and nearly a third of the tribe has com under it inslduous spell. The bean la found on a large cactus In the desert regions of th southwest and shipped to the Wtnnebagoea by the thou sand. The part uaed is not ths bean at all, as that la deadly polaon. but the flat, slightly curved pod Is stseped to make a drink, andXts of tt are chewed without cooking. These people have given the drug dig nity by combining with their ceremonial a lavish use of the Bible. At their meet ing a whit cloth laid upon the floor simu late an altar; on this thsy place one or more ot the mescal pod, surrounded by texts of scripture printed upon th cloth, but the mescal Is designated aa "truth" and "light" ' Several membera read and expound on chapters from the Bible, which they have studied carefully beforehand, even going sometimes to the missionary for assistance tn preparing the address, and to an on looker th movement has all th appear ance of a religious "revival" till told that It is the mescal alon that cause ft fol lowers to feel the deetre to read the Bible and to pray, because when under Its ' in fluence the soul sees the heavenly world and talks with Its inhabitant. The present effect upon the mescal eater 1 helpful, as they giv up liquor and live better lives In every way, but la the end It Is as fatal as morphia, causing almost certain and early death. It has lu mission, howsver, for It I the first movement that has broksa In upon th Medicine Dance lodge, a sort of frater nity that has held the tribe a unit In keep ing up old customs and denouncing civi lised ones.

ANOTHER TRIAL, SAYS WRIGHT Bat When Hydrant Rental Case Trill Cease Ft He Doe Kot Knew. Carl C. Wright and John L. Webster, at torney for th Omaha Water board, are still too busy to examine closely th opin ion handed down some Weeks ago by tha United Blatea circuit court of appeals In the hydrant rental case. The decision, however, was against their cllenta "Mr. Webster and myself ars working very hard on the brief In the main case, which must be finished by December I," said Mr. Wright. "The opinion handed down by the United States court of ap peals reversing th decision of th federal court 1 peculiar In som ways snd pre sents pertain points which will change the status of any new trial that may tak place here. The former action in the fed eral court bore was a victory tor th Water board, and, of course, the reversal Is a defeat for the bond and the city, "When we Kt the main case off our hands we will turn our'entlre attention to this matter. A new trial Is necessary, but whether that new trial will be a strenuous controversy like the former one or merely a formal proceeding to test certain points of law we have not yet determined." Speaking of the decision of the United States court In ths Omaha water case, City Attorney Burnam says: "I have read the report and see nothing but preparation tor a new trial on the part ot the city. I can say nothing about the ca a th law em power the water board to employ attur neys and It has employed Mr. Webster and Mr. Wright. It is possible I may be with them at the next trial of the case, but at tliis time I have nothing to say," PEOPLE IN REVOLVING DOORS Philosopher Observes that Women Go Through In Bunches aa m Rnle. "Ever notice how different people go through these revolving storm doors?" In quired the North Omaha Philosopher as hs stood In the poetofflce corridor getting warm. "Now Just watch "em as they 00m through." First came a young buaineaa man, who plunged against the panel of. the door shot through and left it revolving rapidly behind him. Then came a young woman, who braced herself and pushed as though sh was going to push the side ot the building down. She, too, went through without special notice. Then three women started to leave the corridor of the building. The philosopher grew excited at once and nudged his friend. "Watch them now," he said. 1 The women stopped at the door, hesi tated; then two of them crowded into one compartment and slowly bumped through. The third waited until they were safely on the -outside and then she went through in a compartment by herself. The North Omaha Phllisopher chuckled to himself. "They do it every time," he said. "They don't realise that they won't lose each other If they take separate compartments. Men never do that. Even boys don't. Lit tle girls do sometimes; but never little boys.

With the roadside for chancel, the curve of a hill for altar, wld stretching corn fields for navs and tha softly sprayed clouds for vaulted cathedral roof an on. usual marriage ceremony took place Thanksgiving day on Nebraska soil. An Indian boy and girl, not long out of their teens, had after considerable delib eration, obtained a marriage license, bring ing It home so that the missionary might perform the ceremony. Arrangements were msde when It waa discovered that the license had been pro cured In an adjoining county and there for could not be used at horn. Hymen, however, has devices as varied as thos of Cupid, by which to overcome ob stacles, and an Inspiration brought the fact to mind that the county line wa only five mile away, so th two, with a few friends and th missionary, drove to that point, and rarely has th maniag servlo coma with more solemn and benignant foroe than In tha simple sotting provided by nature on thl mild and beautiful Thanks giving day.
