October Breaks
All Records for
Business Gains

October was an exceptionally good
month for the retail business OF Omaha.
Retail merchants In practically every
line in the city. are unanimous in this
statement. and declare that they did al
most record business for October. One
store handling womens garments, did al
most 80 per cent more business last month
than In October a year ago.
Even the jewellers declare their BUSH
ness has been excellent. The retailers
say there is no way TO account for the
good business done except by the gener-
ally prosperous condition OF Omaha and
the state at this time. Ordinarily, they
point out. the last october would have
been expected to yield little return to the
retailer. especially clothing and shoes, a.
the weather was not such as to eneour-
age the buying OF winter garments.
The increased number of conventions
held in Omaha IL given some credit for
the increase in the retail business, az
there Ia scarcely a week In the fall and
winter that does not bring In its hundreds
and thousands OF delegates to some one
or more conventions.

CITY TO FIND WORK
FOR THE FLOATER
Will Fix Up the Old County Jail
and Have Prisoners Work on
the Streets.
TO PROVIDE BEDS AND MEALS

The city commissioners, sitting In
committee of the whole, decided to
hold a special meeting next week for
the consideration Of plan OF pro-
Niding work for city prisoners, par
ticularly this winter.
The proposition is to counterfeit the
prevailing opinion throughout the
country that Omaha is an easy
town" for undesirable itinerants.
The committee of the whole
adopted Commissioner Jardine's
resolution that the commissioners de-
wise ways and means for working
city prisoners.
Must Put Men TO work.
Captain Kline OF the Salvation Army
made this statement to the commission
ers: 1T is an absolute necessity that
something be done to put these men 90
work. This plan would help the men
themselves and would tend 20 discourage
hordes flockins here for the winter.
Omaha Is known as an easy town to get
by In. Many come here expecting 10 be
cared for in Jail. where they may be as
sured OF food and shelter in ideness.
During the winter before last we fed as
many as 400 a day at our headquarters.
/ have handled these men for fifteen
years, and before ! started this work
was one of them myself. know how
these men live"
To Fit Up Old Jail.
Commissioner Withheld recommended
that the old city Jail at Eleventh and
Dodge streets might be fitted UP as a
comfortable shelter for these prisoners.
There was a doubt whether prisoners
committed to the county Jail by the DO
lice judge could legally be taken out for
work by the city The proposed plan
contemplates providing substantial meals
and comfortable beds for the prisoners
who are required to work.
Commissioner Jardlne expressed his be-
lief that many floaters will drift into
Omaha this winter.
Chicago authorities have started
to apply the work test.
