'Cheer up in the midst of ca amity
without parallel in tSe worlds history.
Looking upon the ashes of thirty years
accumulation, the people Of this once
beautiful city. have resolved that Chicago
shall rise again. With death in many
strange pisces; with two or three hundred
millions Of our hard earned property
swept away in q few hours, the hearts of
our men and women are still brave, and
they look into the future with undsunted
hearts. As there has never been such
such chesrfulneas and fortitHde in
the face Of desolation and ruin.
Already contracts have been made for
rebuilding some OF the burned blocks, and
clearing away the debris Will begin to-
day, ifthe heat is so far subdued that the
charred material can be handled. Field.

money and securities IN the banks are
safe The railroads are working with all
their energies to bring Us out OF our atfiic-
ton. The three hundred millions Of
capital invested in the roads is bound to
bring us through. They have been built
with spscIaI reference to a great CONNER
cisl mart of this place, and they cannot
fail to sustain us. Chicago must rise again.
We do not belittle the calamity that has
befaIlen US. The world has probably
not seen the like Of IL, Certainly not since
Moscow burned, but the forces of nature,
not less than the forces of reason, require
that the exchanges of great nation be
eond ucted here. Twenty years may be
required to reconstruct cur forces, but

forthcoming. The losses we have suffered
must be borne, but the place, the time,
and the men are here to commence at the
bottom and work up again, not at the
bottom neither, for we have credit in
every land and the experience of one up
building of Chicago to help us. Let US
all cheer up, save what is yet left, and
we shall come out right. The christian
world is coming to our relief. The worst
Is already over, in a few days more all the
dangers will be past, and We can resume
the battle of life with christian faith and
Western grit. Let US all cheer up"
THE BAR OF CHICAGO
and the judges of the courts, both city
and Stste, will hold a meeting TO- morrow
70 take action looking to the restoration,
as far as possible, of all the legal records
and papers destroyed.
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
have very fortunately saved all their
books, papers, plans, etc.
The condition of the
INSURANCE COMPANIES
and the probabilities OF their being able
to pay any portion OF their losses, is eagerly
csnv vasssd. The general impression seems
70 oe that the foreign companies will pay,
and there is strong feeling of confidence
in the San Francisco companies. That
some eastern companies have given notice
of their intention to pay has already been
stated
