First Real Reminder of Winter Came

mace or steam plant in shape to warm the
family domicile 1t was pretty safe to say
that the procrastinating citizen was an
ticipating a warm reception II not warm
house when he got home.
The temperature yesterday was below the
freezing point most OF the time during the
day and during the evening dropped to
pretty respectable winter figures. The
street railway company was partially pre-
pared for the snap and had stoves in many
of its cars and there was a lively hustle
during the day to equip the remainder.
Fires were started and shivering passen-
gers were given an agreeable surprise.
The hotel Hobbies took on their wonted
winter appearance. Chairs were drawn
up around the radiators and guests and
loungers appeared to be far better satisfied
to get out and see what was going on out
side. The usual Saturday night crowd of
shoppers was in even a greater hurry than
usual and the corner loafers had hunted
some other place to pass their time.
1t wasn't really so cold, after ALL but
simply the first touch of winter which
makes all the world SILVER. It's nothing
when you get used to 1t and a couple OF
months hence the temperature of yester-
day will not be particularly uncomfortable.
The weather man does not lend much
encouragement to the small boy who has
hauled out his skates in anticipation OF
being able to use them for the indications
are that today will be fair and warmer.

busy part of the afternoon the cry of
"Fire!" resounded through the waiting rooms

himself personally responsible for the pres

baggage trucks out on the platform ana
made a rush for the scene of the conhagra-
ton. Chief Fleming of the depot police

by Miss Jennie Lively, the Western Union
operator and even the popcorn mans ada

It was only for a minute. Throwing aside
the dignity of his position and his gloves.
Chief Fleming dashed into the apartment
and issued forth an instant later with a
waste basket full of blazing paper. The
contents of the coolers came into play and
the building was saved. Miss Lively is
mourning the loss OF pair OF shoes which
were left near the combustibles. while Chief
Fleming is receiving congratulations on his
courageous conduct.

This Is not so, but, on the contrary when

South Omaha News /.


The records in the Office OF the city clerk
show that for the months OF July, August
and September the sum OF $1,000 was paid
to the police Judge for fines imposed by
the judge in his official capacity. OF this
amount only sl3O5O has found its way into
the city treasury and that was only paid
a few days ago. However, the records
show that out of the total collected by the
police Judge the sum OF Sll50 was paid
to the chief OF police by the judge, which
amount should, OF course, be deducted from
the total due the city Making this de-
duction leaves the sum OF S5S, which has
been due the city since October l and is
still unpaid A portion OF the fines col
locted in police court goes to the school
district fund and the $40 80 due that fund
from the three months fines was paid last
week, bu; the balance, which should be
credited to the general fund, has not yet
been paid in. The law on this matter is
very plain and the section referring to the
duties OF police judge Is as follows: IAN

breach of ordinances OF the city shall
