Business Is Doubled.

Albert Edholm-Our business was double
what it last year. This is not guess,
but our books show K. 1t was impossible
for us to care FOR all the trade, and many
persons went away without having been
waited upon. Nearly every bit of stock
we bought especially for Christmas has
been disposed Of | never saw anything
like it.
Hugo Rrandeis-Our store had more peo-
pie in it and sold more goods than ever
before in it's history We will have to
carry over scarcely single Christmas ar
ticle Every toy we had in stock was
sold
Mr.. Brandt of Orchard & Wilhelm-We
had bigger Christmas stock than ever
before and after the Christmas trade was
over il was lower than ever before at this
time of year. The sale in regular lines
has been enormous. l should say the in
crease In business was 90 per cent.
p. b. Myers, President of the Myers
Dillon Drug Company-Saturday was the
second largest day in the history of our
store, the largest being one day of the
previous week. The business of the whole
season was enormous.

JULoTTA OBSERVED ~ swEDEs
Early Morning Service Held Mt
Swedish Methodist Church.

A Christmas service dear TO the hearts
OF Swedes everywhere, because It takes
them back in memory to their youth and
their native land, is the service called
"Julotta." 1t was observed Christmas
morning at $50 at the Swedish Methodist
church. The Swedish people. Methodists
and all other denominations, came from
al parts of the city and the little church
was full. It was the first Christmas cell
ebration In the new church. which has
but recently been completed The most
beautiful part of the service was the sing
ing of the Christmas hymn of the poet
Wallin so common in Sweden that it
might well be known as the national
Christmas hymn. Rev. Peter Munson
preached a short sermon.

1t was the largest Christmas trade in the
history Of Omaha. say dealers in all lines

They tell one story: the crowds that
swarmed their stores were so large that
it was almost Impossible to take care Of
them. and they bought sucn a quantity Of
goods that stocks were sadly depleted
Many stores. the managers Of which
thought they laid i'm a generous supply Of
goods, found their stocks gone in some
lines a day or two before the end of the
season. Christmas goods Of all descrip-
tons were largely sold out.
. The percentage of increase over last

the retailers at p to leo The latter esti-
mate is made by jewelers.. who say they
never knew a time when people had so
much money to spend for gold and Jewels
An average Of the estimates of number
OF large dealers would make the general
increase about 80 per cent.
4 feature generally noted is that a better
grade of goods has been sold than usual
Many merchants credit the largest part
of the increase in their business to the
sale of high class articles.

Alaskan Boundary Commission Favor
ed Cannda.

1t appears that in marking the Alas
ka boundary by the joint survey party
of the United States and Canada, the
Canadians hoodwinked the American
party into agreeing upon the location
of monuments along the Unuk river
81 miles from tidewater, instead of 10
marine leagues, thereby giving Canada
a strip of country 10 miles wide and
placing the property of the Unuk
River Mining company on Canadian
soil saws the Ketchikan Journal. In
deed, practically all of the claims
which have been recorded in that sec
tion are. by the wrong location Of
these monuments, taken off of Ameri-
can soil an1 placed within the bound
aries of Canada.
The survey has not been ratified, of
course, by the powers that be, and the
people of this section should demand
that 1t be not ratified until the line
is placed where It belongs.
At the same time 1t would seem
that the man In charge of the Ameri-
ran survey party should be called
upon to explain his apparent neglect
Of duty in allowing the Canadian sur
veyors to place the lines on American
soil.

There is possibility that the NJ. L.
and the NJ T.. church, South, may
consolidate in this city.
The matter has been discussed con-
siderably and there is a strong senti-
ment in favor of the union. Since the
resignation of Rev. |. w. Brooks of
the NJ. E. church, South. the matter
has been revived and while no defin-
ite steps have been taken as yet there
is possibility that the two organiza-
tons will merge and worship as one
body in the near future.
There is absolutely. no doctrinal diff
ferences in the two churches. They
were divided in 1914 on the slavery
question and this long since having
been settled, there is nothing to hold
the two branches of the great church
apart.
All the auxiliary societies and young
peoples organizations of the two
churches are now practically united.
Mutual arrangements are made be-
tween the churches whereby they Will
neither invade rural district occupied
by the other and in many places they
affiliate in every sense. all that re-
mains to perfect union being a for
mai action on part of the congrega-
tions.
The NJ. L. church, South, owns a
brick building on West Webb street
and while the organization is one of
the oldest in the city, yet 1t is not so
strong, numerically, as the NJ. f..
church, and If the consolidation is eff
fected 1t is probable that the brick
church would be sold and the proceeds
added to the church fund which is
being raised for the purpose of erect
ing an elegant stone church on East
Webb street by the NJ. E. church,
where both organizations would have
an elegant place of worship under one
roof and would be united in the sup
port of one pastor and church organ
ization.
