6—A SANTA CLAUS AND HIS BROTHER HERE, Arrives in\ Same Old Red Suit With White Fur Trimmings to Distribute Toys. || WANTS ALL TO SHOP EARLY | By A. R. GROH. Children, who do you think came to Omaha Saturday morning? Santa Claus! Yes, sir! The dear old fellow is just as fat and jolly as ever and he wears the same red suit with white fur trimmings. He was met at the Burlington sta- tion by a large delegation from the Brandeis stores with five automo- | biles. The big crowd cheered him 4 as he appeared on the steps of the [ Pullman car with his big bag of toys, i oh, the biggest bag you ever saw. ! Santa Claus laughed so that he g ¢ v 4 R e 4 shook all over. Then he held up his hand and when everybody was silent % he said: 4 “Friends, blease, blease do your Christmas shopping early. Only re- . mains yet nineteen days till Christmas. | And, my, my, vot a lot cf work ve got to do!” Everybody Promises. 4 Everybody cheered again and romised to do their lhoppmg early. g‘hen Santa shouldered his great big pack and was escorted by the men, wearing white hats, to the waiting au- tomobiles. After a tour of the down town streets, Santa ‘entéred the Bran- deis stores and went to his castle in the basement where he began receiv- 3 ing a long line of boys and girls who " were waiting for him. § Did you see that jolly old, Santa 4 Claus at the Burgess-Nash store? He . ' «came Friday. ell, he's this Santa Claus’ brother, You see, children, I wondered wh: there were different Santas around in different stores. So I went right up to this Santa and asked him about it. “Ach, yes, dot iss my brudder over by Burgess-Nash,” ‘he said. “I haf lf;o other brudders. It takes so many off us to distribute toys to 2!l the dear little childrens.” “Why didn't you bring the reindeer and the sleigh this year?” I asked. “Vell, my friend, several reasons. Von reason iss old Blitzen, my best reindeer, got sick eating too man icicles. Another reason iss dot I ha to carry so much toys for all de goot little girls and boys that I cannot get them all in the lle{%h. . “So, I got von off my sons to bring me in the automobile sleigh down to Esquimo City and there | took the train on the North Pole Iceland & Texas railroad. ‘At Chicago I change cars last night. Ach, these trains are very fine and not cold like ven I come g the "'g;‘h' My brudder who is urgess-Nash stores came also b{ rain, von d'j' ahead of me. Some _ of my other brudders will yet come to '\ other stores of Omaha, Ve must take | care of all the good little childrens, Yes, indeed!” _So, you see, children, that explains why \there are several Santa Clauses around town. They are brothers, never could see how just one''Santa Claus alone could deliver all the toys, ¢could you? It's a mighty good thing that there are so many brothers in the Santa Claus family, isn’t it? . TIncreased Postal Receipts Reflect » Omahafirosperity Omhha's prosperity, - reflected through its postal receipts, shows a substantial gain for the month of No- 'vember over, that of the correspond- ing rriod last year. For November of this year the receipts were $155,- 17, while for 1915 the receipts were $135927.70, leaving a net gain of $19,820.47, or 14.6 per cent. 'Fhe in- crease is not attributed to the large influx of' political literature, but to i ge, ‘ly\ndy growth of Omaha's pros- rity. | Unionists Ask Wilson | ToUrge an Armistice New York, Dec. 1.—Resolutions urging President Wilson to do all in ) power to arrange an armistice be- . theen the warring powers of Europe before Christmas were passed tonight the Central Federated Lugor union, with 500,000 members in the metropolitan district.

FIFTEEN FOOT BALL PLAYERS ARE KILLED List of Victims One Less Than Last Year and Same as Two Years Ago. | NONE ON COLLEGE TEAMS Chicago, Dec. 2.—Foot ball claimed which closed with Thanksgiving games, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press today. Last year the total was sixteen and in 1914 there were fifteen deaths. -College officials indentified with the sport declare that not a single death occurred in any game in which the players were known to be physically as well as mentally trained for the test. Not a single life was lost, they say, in a game where a physician’s examination was demanded before the game. In most cases those who lost their lives were members of high school, | semi-professional and professional elevens. Not one of the victims was a college player, The list of dead: J¥iliam A, Jones, Munhall, Pa. 22 years old. John A, Porter, Athens, 0., 18 years old. Bawin Youns, Pittaburgh, "Pa." 19 years old, Harry Wieland, Chicago, 9 years old. Hiram Colo, Faystte, Mo, 19 years old, Fred Wilson, Minneapolls, 26 years old. Bpbraim Angell, EI Contro, Cal, 10 years o A. Woodring, Timber Lake, 8. D., 21 years old, Wilber Géttys, Ansley, Neb., 19 years old Harold B. Watson, Meadville, Pa., 19 years old. Cyril Pritchard, Elgin, Til., 19 old, Elmer L. Carlquist, Chicago, 17 years old. Wallace Rowland, Weirton, W. Va., 16 years old. Idm Campbell, Pittsburgh, Pa., 22 years old. Francis B. Moraity, Detrolt, Mich, 14 years old. In most every case the victim did not suffer ‘any length of time, some dying almost instantly and others a few days after the accident. Two of the players suffered broken necks, but a majority died from internal in- juries, Coaches assert that practically every danger in the sport should be climinated by the rules committee and no matter what rules are adopted the game will be rough, and only those in the best of physical condition should be permitted to play. Brought Back from Towa.for Violation of Whi_tg§lave Law George! A, Shaffer was brought back by the federal authorities Fri- day evening from Harlan, la., charged with viollmr the Mann act. He is said to have taken Mrs. Susie E. Drazy, mother of two children, from a point in western Kansas to Ne- braska.
