Packing House EmpIoye Receives
Painful Injuries While scufflins.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Henry Cayson, colored man living
at 1850 West Second street, and who
is an employee of John Morrell & Co.,
was badly injured just before noon
today by being cut on the wrist with
heavy knife. He was scuffling with
fellow workman when he received
the cut which severed the main arter.
les, tendon and nerves Of his wrist.
He was brought to the Office of DR..
Spilman, where it took Drs. S. A.
Spilman, Frank LaForce and Murdoch
Bannister over two hours to dress the
wound. The cut was a very bad one
and if the use of the hand is saved
it will be almost miracle, as all the
tendons were cut and had to be drawn
up and sewed together. This after
noon he had fully recovered from the
effects of the chloroform which was
given him, but is suffering consider.
ably from the wound.

PROSPECT is FLATTERlNe.
J. 3. sax's Reasoning on the Outlook
for Fall and Winter Trade.

for Fall and Winter Trade.
]. B. Sax has just returned from
New York where he bought heavily
in his line for the fall and winter
trade and gave as a reason thai he
thought Iowa and particularly this
section would enjoy al era of un-
equalled prosperity. Mr.. Sax says
that he was in New York for about
eighteen days and found the weather
to be very hot which accounted, in
a great measure, for the quiet bust
ness that was prevailing among the
wholesale houses at that particular
time, and resulted in slight de.
crease under that of last year. Then,
too, Mr.. Sax says many lines have nd
vanced and this is probable cause for
the slightly lighter purchase as conf
pared with last year. The factories.
Mr.. Sax says, report very prosper.
Gus trade from Iowa and Kansas buy
ers and indeed all sections where The
prospects are good for a heavy wheat
and corn crop, while in the Dakotas
and in Minnesota, where the prospect
seems to be poor, decrease in bust
ness was reported. Nj. Sax stated
that he believes that Iowa and espec.
tally this section of the state oughs to
enjoy an almost unequalled era OF
prosperity because the outlook is ve,v
promising and prices are from is to &C
per cent higher. Reasoning from this
standpoint Mr.. Sax says that he
bought very heavy stock.
OF the political situation as applied
to trade, Mr.. Sax does not think chat
the usual depression i'll business will
result this year as in former years
and forms his judgment from the fact
that Wholesale and factory men tell
him that there is little interest being
taken in politics in the east.

ono-half mile southwest of the city
was entered by burglars yesterday,
While the family was in town to sec
the circus parade. During their all.
sence some one entered the house by
removing the screen and prying off
the door jamb. They ransacked the
house, but were evidently frightened
away by workmen who were engaged
nearby, as they left the doors open.
The ak which was used was supposed
by the family to be securely hidden

burglars knew where to find it. Mr..
Upp reports that nothing of value is
