GREAT DAY FOR BUSINESS.
YESTERDAY WAS A RECORD BREAK
Err IN KANSAS CITY.
Streets in the Business Section Were
Thickly Crowded and Stores Well
Filled All Day and Evening
With Eager Buyers.

The airship seems to have lit and the Nc
kinley wave of prosperity has struck Kan
sas City. a record was broken in Kansas
City yesterday, for it was the biggest busi-
ness day the retail stores of the city have
ever known. The crowds on the main busi-
ness streets in the afternoon were big
enough to be noticeable, while at night the
scene resembled nothing but carnival week.
Main and Walnut streets, in the principal
retail section, were packed with mass OF
shoppers who all had money and were look
ing for the places to spend it to the best
advantage. The stores, big and little, were
crowded to the doors with buyers, and
there could not be, enough clerks hired TO
wait on the people. Merchants were a
business ever known in Kansas City, and
that is saying good deal, for Kansas City
has seen some big business days in the
past.
A leading Main street clothier said:
Talk about hard times and no money;
you ought to have seen the crowds which
evening. 1t has been just simply impossi-
bic for the regular force of clerks to wait
on all the buyers properly, and even with
extra men We have had to let people go
away without waiting on them. In some
lines of goods We have fairly been cleaned
out. | never say anything like it since 1
have been doing business in Kansas City"
In the big department stores 1t was al
most impossible to get around at all. The
buying was not cOnflneQ TO any one depart
ment, for the crowds were thick in all.
There was vast amount of money paid in
at these big stores yesterday. for the crowd
was made up of buyers who had the
money.
The leading shoe stores did a wonderful
business. At one Main street store six
extra clerks We're employed all the after
noon and evening and then 1t was found
impossible to keep up with the rush. 1t
was noticeable sapt That the people were
buyins the better grades of goods every
where: AT another shoe store the buyers
actually formed in line tc await their turns
as they would at voting booth on cleo
tion day. The store did not go so lar as
to. give out numbers. as they would in
O barber shop but the customers, by mu-
tual agreement, took turns in the order
of their coming in. Dealers in gents
furnishing goods fine neckwear and such
like had red letter day. A leading Main
street dealer said last night that while
there had been days when he had taken in
more money, he had never in one day sold
so many articles.
1t was a great day and evening and mer-
chants all wore broad smiles as they saw
the goods going out and the money COM

the reichstaS and to the diet two bills.
