NEW YEAR ARRIVED ON TIME.

Those Who Were Waiting for It
Made the Usual Noise.

Amid the ringing of bells, the blowing of whistles and the firing of shots, the new year came into its own promplty on schedule last night.

Kansas City seemed to be sleepy last night, and there was hardly half of the usual noise at the birth of a new year. All of the packing houses and several of the larger shops of various sorts were on hand as usual with their big steam whistles, so that there was no chance to forget that it is now 1908 instead of 1907.
