Omaha business men caught their breath
Sunday after the Christmas rush and went
down 70 business with minds full of the
necessity OF taking inventory and figuring
up profits. 1t Is doubtful, however. II
many made a real start at this, for in re-
tail stores and shops there were crowds
equal in size to those OF Christmas week.
Wholesalers found their mail fun of orders
and, Except among the grain men. there
was a general hum and hustle. Same con-
disions prevailed Saturday.
In a retail way. the season of big clear
ing sales IL at hand, while wholesalers and
factories will be rushed to get out spring
orders. which are already far ahead OF
last year. according TO declarations Of
many jobbers and manufacturers.

most desirable residences in Omaha.

That cold wave which was predicted
for Friday and which failed to show
up, came during the night and this
morning.
The mercury fell to almost zero and
this morning was the coolest day of
the present winter, but probably not
the coolest day We will have. for the
opinion seems to prevail that this will
be much colder winter than have the
past few.
Sunday morning at o'clock the
mercury was at "a and the day. al
though not a cold one, was rather
chilly. There was no weather flag
flying and no forecast issued and the
people did not know just what was
promised but those fortunate people
who have rheumatism and ingrowing
nails, knew that something was up
and that there would be a change.
The change came during the night
and the mercury fell while the moon
shined This morning at I O'Clock
the temperature was 4 above zero.
At O'Clock it was 3 degrees, but
at 9 o'clock ii had jumped up to 5 and
was going slowly up.

Is Making Ice.

This kind of weather will make ice
and if the present cold snap would
hang on for several days. the ice har-
vest could begin within a short time.
The ice harvest is an important in
dustry in Keokuk, for thousands of
tons of ice are cut from the canal for
home consumption and for shipping
purposes. Hundreds of people are EN-
ployed and the ice cutting season is
busy one. It usually does not come
until after the new year and likely
will be around about the same time
this winter, for the present cold wealth
er may not last and real winter wealth
err is not expected until ATTIC Christ

Galeshuru Favored.

Galesburg is also favored by con
venient location and should this town
take the place of Oskaloosa or Water
loo. kewanee would be greatly bene-
flied. The town is but forty three
miles from Burlington and on almost
a direct line between Burlington and
Kewanee.
With Waterloo in the circuit jump
of over one hundred and fifty miles is
necessitated every time any of the
clubs play in that town. Even at this
mileage the trip must be made from
Burlington, and should a team go
from Kewanee to Waterloo the trip
would be eighty-one miles farther.
With Waterloo in the league the
mileage of every team on each circuit
completed would be about three hun
dred miles farther than if that town
was not in and this increase is not
made up by that place in matter OF at
tendance
The trip to Waterloo also necessi

The above figures illustrate the rea-
son why Waterloo. which although
member of the old Iowa league since
its first organization, should be drop
ped from the Central association and
give place to ia town more convenient
ly located.
With both Hannibal and Galesburg,
the present applicants for a berth in
the Central association, in the league
and Waterloo out this eight club
league would have one of the best
circuits N the country and would be
far superior t. that of any of the minor
leagues.
Hannibal is worthy of place in the
league because of its excellent loca-
ton. The town is situated on the
Burlington division of the e., B. & O..
with direct connections with Quincy,
Keokuk and Burlington. Hannibal is
also but sixty-eight miles distant from
Jacksonville, and but one hundred
and eighty-eig miles from Kewanee
the most distant town, If Waterloo
was dropped. But in going to Ke
vance, even at this distance, Hanni
bal could PLAY in Jacksonville and
Galesburg enroute, or by going via
Burlington the mileage would be but
one hundred and seventy-siX miles
and on this trip to Kewanee the team
could play at Quincy. Keokuk, Burling
ton and Galesburg, winding up at Ke
vance. The location of Hannibal is
an excellent one.

Circuit Compact.

With Waterloo out the circuit would
he compact. would have much less
mileage, trip would be much more
pleasant for the players, AID the re-
ceipts in the long run would be in
creased.
The attendance at Waterloo has not
been what it should be, and many
predict that with Z second division
team Waterloo would be one of the
poorest drawing cards in the league
The team has been in the Central
association since the organization and
while many would greatly -egret see
ing the town dropped, there is no Dues
ton but that it would be for the good
of the other teams.
Galesburg and Hannibal are both
good drawing cards and would make
excellent towns for the Central asso-
citation. 1t is not only the attendance
figures but the fine locations that
would make them strong factors

What the country needs today is not so much a more flexible currency as a little more rigidity in business morals. There are several ills arising from a lack in the latter respect which the most elastic currency under the sun could not cure.
