HOLDS THOMPSON, AND HosMAN.

Judge Gordon Dsctses Evidence of
Forgery ts Ntaainst Them.
The trial OF BurtrThompson and c. F.
Hoeman in police tocourt ended IN both
being held for trial in $500 bail.
The men we're arrested fort
night ago for forging checks and passing one
on Herman Schaeffer for 81, one on the
Diamond restaurant for 50 and one on the
Drummond Carriage company for $6. The
men we're arnalgned Monday afternoon The
victims Of the forgers testified and several
officers were also 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 evil
dence. Cox, however, stated that he had
unfortunately lost the valuable papers, and,
consequently the trial came to standstill
with a motion by the defense that the
charges against the men be dismissed. Judge
Gordon at O'Clock that evening took the case
under advisement until yesterday morning.
When the case was again called up the de-
fense, In order to more 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-
Tense asked that several witnesses be re-
called they were not placed on the. stand, and
the attorneys took up their arguments The
| checkc, which had been recovered by Cox
were not placed in evidence. At the con-
| clusion OF the addresses made by the at
| torneys, Judge Gordon thought there was
| enough evidence outside that contained IL
| the forged papers to send the men to higher
| court, and accordingly bound each prisonef
| over In the sum of 800.

HOLIDAY TRADE IS GOOD
Omaha Merchants Find Thsir Business
Much Improved.
CHRISTMAS BUYERS ARE OUT IN DRoVts
streets Thronged and stores Jnmmed
while All sorts of Things Are
Purchased for Gifts for
Young and Old.

The streets we're thronged last night with
busy shoppers. who hastened from store to
store in search Of Christmas gifts. The late
mild weather has brought out many people
who deferred purchasing while the cold
BLASTS from the north blew and the snow
scurried around the corners. Proprietors Of
the various stores say that this years sales
will be third larger than last. ''The reason
for this" said one OF them last night, is
that everybody this year seems to have a
little money Times are better in Omaha
than they have been for many a day and
those who recognize that prosperity Is once
more at hand do not hoard up their spare
cash as they formerly did. Then too, the
snow makes a vast difference Last year the
pavements were bleak and bare, and people
hardly knew that Christmas was at hand un-
fil II had become thing OF the past. Snow
and Christmas go hand in hand, for when
snow is present early in the season 1t is then
time for the majority OF people to look for
ward to the advent Of Christmas"
Perhaps the most interesting departments
of the big stores to visit are those devoted to
toys. Here the aisles are thronged early
and late by an eager crowd OF youngsters.
Dolls and horns and wagons and gimcracks
calculated to make the juvenile heart leap
with Joy are displayed on the counters. Here
the little ones lmDOrtune tnelr eiueTS u eh-
hibit their faith in the good old custom In
making others happy, and thereby many a
sale is male.
81 tell you Christians Is no picnic for us,
though" said pretty little clerk In one of
the stores last night as she leaned wearily
against a counter. when | came to work In
this big store | thought it would be snap.
thought l could chew gum all day, wait on
a customer once in while and then get my
money at the end of the week, like my big
sister does. But that was only dream.
When get through work at 10 O'Clock | go
right home get my supper and go to bed.
Oh it's no snap l can tell you / will be
glad when it's all over"
Special officers are stationed in all the
larger establishments for the detection of any
persons who do not purchase on the square
but 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 shoppers.

The press of of the state is growing
clamorous for a modification of The
quarantine rules. The business peo-
pie everywhere have suffered from
their rigidness, and the people believe
now that since refugees have been
allowed to return everywhere that

keeping out mails, or running trains

things and hermetical tightness of
others, is grotesque. The merchants
want their mails, the people want

THE SAME OLD STORY,

Already the wild and fool-hardy ex-
petition of Audree is bearing its le-
gitimate fruit. On November lst a
vessel left Tromsoe at the expense Of
the Swedish government, on the hope
less quest for the balloouist or some
trace Of him. The vessel will 60 first
to Spitzbergen, and thence, when
spring opens, will proceed aimlessly
northward, in the vague hope of find
ing, some where in those traCkless
wastes, some proof of the fate of the
human atom who was swallowed up
IN their frozen soitudes months ago,
That any trace of Andree will ever be
discovered is too much to expect.
His undertaking was as deliberately
suicidal as any case of self murder.
To endeavor to sail across the Arctic
Ocean in balloon was as frantic an
idea as ever entered a disordered hu-
uhu DEdlus vi lthCll IL vas BAOCl
that the man was mentally unbalanced.
His life, even if there was remote
probability of his being still in exis-
tence, is not ofsufficient value to hu-
manIty to warrant the risk-and al
most certain loss-of others in the ef-
fort to preserve it. The discovery of
the north pole is dream which has
claimed its victims for ages, and the
good results achieved beyond the
partial satisfying of curiosity are ab-
solutely nothing. 1t would seem that
the expeditions of Greeley and the
awful tragedy of the Jeanette would
have been sufficient to deter men, for
time at least, from such efforts
Nansen came back alive, but confesses
that his work and suffering was labor
lost. The history of the Audree re-
lief expedition will simply retell the
old old story.

and joyous laugh of children is heard,
aud neighbor meets neighbor and re-
counts the experiences of"the scare."

One of the greatest inconvenienceS
incident TO the raising Of the quaran'

dispatches or exchanges is like the

Newspaper Influence.

If newspapers could have controlled
he election in Greater New York
5 ia Low would have been he victor.
lous candidate iuDcad of Robert a
Van Wyck.
Low had the ardent support Of The
World aud The Times, the leading
Democratic newspapers of the ma
lropolIs, The Tribune, tho leading Re-
publican newspaper: The Herald,
Evening Post and Evening Telegram,
the leading independent newspapers;
The Mail aud Express, The leading
sfteruoou Republican newspaper: The
Stats Zeitung, the leading German
newspaper, and several minor uewspa.
pers.
Never before has such au array Of
able and widely cirCulated,newspapers
back of any candidate in New York
On the other hand, Mr.. Van Wy OK
who beat Low 81 900 votes, had hardly
any newspaper support. The Journal
came out for him late in the cam
psign, aud The Daily News, little pa.
per which circuIates mainly il the
slums' was the only New York paper
which from the first advocated Van
Wyck's election.
1t would seem ridiculous to com-
pare the influence of The News with
that of auy one of the eight great news
papers which supported Low. The
preponderance of newspaper circulg-
lion In favor of Dow was almost as
great as the prepouderanCe Of journal
istic ability that was exerted for him
The Low papers have combined
circulation of fully 100000, and it is
probable that one or more of them
reaches niue out of every ten
voters in Greater New YORK.
The result would seem to indicate
that newspapers have very little in
fueuce on the voters, at least in New
York.
The average voter may be affected
by newspaper advice somewhat as an
old member ofthe British parliament
was by the arguments of bis political
opponents. He said be had heard
