Destroy Confidence in Conditions.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Holiday observance and ~stock-taking
limit new business, but do not decrease
satisfaction and confidence. Wholesale dis
tribution has been down to a minimum,
while retail buying, although satisfactory,
feels reaction from previous activity. Addi-
tional returns as to 1902 trade confirm
lines of distribution and Industry. Aside
from this developments are scarce. Per-
maps the most notable features are the
strength of prices of staples, as the year
opens and the hOpefulness as to the out
look for next spring and summer's trade.
One unfaVorable feature is the continued
shortage of anthracite coal in the east.
Reports of increased trade in 1902 over
ern. eastern, southwestern and Pacific
coast points. Examples of this are given
In the case Of Kansas City, which despite
the corn shortage of last year and the win
net Eain I'm all trade over 1901. The same
report comes from st. Louis. Chicago re-
ports tobbers having more orders on their
books than In previous years; that 100000
tons of pig iron was made or handled in
that district during the year and that Chi
cago banks hold s per cent more of de-
postts, while loans are 14.5 per cent more
than at the beginning of 1902. The outlook
for 1909 on the Pacific coast was almost
unanimously favorable. The largest bust
ness ever done was transacted at Portland,
Ore, last year and San Francisco reports
tho condition of growing crops excellent.
At New Orleans the outlook is classed as
fairly good, but Montgomery reports 1902
not as satisfactory as 1901, owing to the

creased output and banks are making good

WorkinR on COnduits.

Yesterday bricklayers were working on
the three manholes, making connections
with the conduits being laid by the electric
light company across NJ street. This work
was commenced some time ago, but the
cold weather put a stop to the operations.
While the conduits are laid, the manholes
have not been completed. With a few days
of soft weather the work will be done.
There has been some delay about getting
the cables for the conduits, but a report
has been received here that the cable has
been shipped. The big transformers will
not be moved to the basement Of the com

cusses situation.

II was reported on the streets last night
that a number Of the members Of the char
ter revision committee favored the election
Of twelve councilmen. This would in
crease the number from one representative
from each ward to two. When the question
Of expense is brought up IL Is stated that
the salaries now paid, $50 a month to each
member, could be reduced to one-half that
amount and thus maintain twelve members
instead of six.
Those who favor an increase in the mum
Der Of couneilmen assert that the opinion
Of a dozen men is better than that OF six
and that more work can be performed and
better satisfaction given by having two
representatives from each of the wards.
On the other hand, some Of those who
favor an increase in the number Of coun-
oilmen met last night and talked over
school board matters. These same men ia
vored a reduction in the number of mem
bers OF the Board Of Education. An amend
ment to the present laws Is to be sug-
gested, so It was stated last night, that
the number Of members of the Board Of
Education be reduced to seven and that the
secretary OF the board be an outsider. The
idea is to have a secretary who will devote
all of his time to the duties of the office.
At present the secretary is a member OF
the board and receives a salary OF $50 a
month.
Sometime next week there will be a gem
eral meeting Of the charter revision COM
mittee. when the amendments suggested
will be read and voted on. 1t viii then
be up to these who desire a change in the
existing laws to provide ways and means
for sending a committee to Lincoln to
properly present the matter to the legis-
lature.

Fitle was taken i'll on Wednesday and i'm
mediately went to the home Of DR.. Hos

When Miss Fitle seemed to be getting
worse Dr.. Hostetter called in DR.. Hamil-
ton, but in spite OF all their efforts the
