Getling Ready For ths Chrisimas Fes- tival, Crowd of Children and Matters in The noppers, — Anxious General, Christmas day is at hand and the cltizens of Omaha are busy getting ready for the holiday season. All day long the stores are crowded with persons 1n search of presents for young, old and middle aged. Whilea great many packages are carried out of the stores by customers, it is a notable fact that the Christmas trade of this year does not compare with that of last year in any respect. The trade this year in holiday goods will be fully 50 per cent less than that of 1833, While many goods are bought, yet they are mostly of a cheap character. A groat many toysare belng secured for the little ones, but the older members of the families, as a rale, will havete content themselves with very small donations. The stocks of holiday goods in the vari- ous storoes aro still very complete, and from tke appearance of them it would seem that very fow goods have been sold, and a large amocnt will have to be car- ried over to another year. The cause of these small sales is the fact that money is very close and those who have money are a littleshy of getting rid of it unless it goes where it will count. A dealer in fancy goods remarked to a reporter Saturday evening that it was easler last year to eell a dressing case, or any other fancy article, for $15, than to sell the sams thing this season for $5. The trade in Christmas cards this year is not as large as usual, In designs there does not seem to be anything much except flowers and spring scenes, and the typical bell is rung in with monotonous frequency on satin, plush, card-board and paper,but | those who are indisposed to wasto their hard earnings may get some few crumbs of comfort in learning that they are no longer as favorably regarded as the sim- pler «nd loss expensive ones, The plain cards vary In price from five cents to forty cents, and really beautiful ones are to be had for ten to fifteen cente. One eastera firm has made a declded hit in five or six designs, which are siwple, chasto and truly artistic.

A Party of Them Arrested in Chicsgo Yesterday, Last week United States Marshal Bier- bower went to Chicago and lodged com- plaint a ainst cleven different 'parties, whogo names cannot be given at prosent, for perjury, indictments having been found against them by the Uaited S:ates grand jury in this city. It seems that two Chicago parties em- ployed eleven or twelve men to come out to Nebraska in the vicinity of Valentine and enter up land and then turn it over to the Chicago parties to be used as a stock ranch, contrary to law. Commissiorer Hoyne issued the war- mnts in Chicago’ and tho ar- rests wero probably made yesterday, and the parties will either have to give bonds or will be brought back to Nobraska at once. Marshal Bierbower returned yester- day but left deputies to attend to the rest of the work, y, Decem™er 21st, k p.m., Mrs Sarah Harkison, will take place Wedneaday morn- ing, December 24th, at 10 o'cleck, from the residence, northwest corner of Graco and Nin nth strer ts, ANDREWS’ Ef R HA T TP = ZGUARANTEE ZOF BEING THE BESTE ZTHAT CAN BE MADES = THEMICHIGAN 'STOVE-COMPANY & = "CHICAGO:B = Z *PETROITCHICAGOBUFFALOS = HUNTERS s 559 WE"Mixer, Sceop, Measure, Weigher, Dred Rice w.
