BIC FIRE AT FOND DU LAC.
The Helmer' Milling Company's
Great Elevator in Ruins.
THE LOSS.ABOUT $4,000
Fond du Laos Fire Department Finds
it Useless to Battle with
the Flames.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Sept. 2S.-GSpe-
cial. THE Helmer Milling company's
mill and elevator the latter having a ca
pacity of 10000 bushels, were entirely
destroyed by fire this morning. The loss
is between $4,000 and S60,00O with an
insurance of $4,000 to $4,000.
The fire broke out at about 2:30 o'clock
in the basement at the southwest corner
of the mill. An alarm was turned in at
eighteen minutes to 3. When the depart
ment arrived the flames had made such
progress that it was evident from the
start of the fight that it would be bone
less one, as far as saving the mill and
elevator. The departments efforts were
largely expended in saving adjoining
property and in that the men were sue
cessful. The residences to the east of
the building and the Badger Overall com
pany's plant, which is just across an al
ley from the elevator, were untouched,
The water pressure was good, but the
supply for fire protection was nearly ex-
hausted in the fight. Effective work was
done by the city steamer kept in the de-
partment since the establishment of the
Waterworks for emergencies of this char
acter. The engine was stationed ON the
Western avenue bridge and although a
long distance from the fire, forced a
stream that could be thrown completely
over the tall elevator
The mill was one of the fncst-euuipped
flour mills in the West and represented
tne results OF the energies and ambitions
OF Nj. Is. Helmer, who built UP the plant
against odds that would forced many an
other man to have given up the struggle
long since. The Helmer Milling com
pany was Incorporated two months ago

Mr.. Helmer this morning could not
state what was his plans for the future
loss and has no idea whether the com
pany would rebuild or not. He stated
there were between $4,000 and 10000
bushels of grain, wheat, oats, barley and
rye in the elevator. The company had
been endeayoring for weeks to get cars
for shipments south, but was unable to
secure them. One ear yesterday was the

fire was then ut its height and as the
mill Immediately adjoins the tracks
which were covered with hose. the chief
train dispatcher gave orders to hold the
train. Section men then cleared out
spaces between railroad ties and the hose
one by one were laid underneath the
tracks.
The origin of the fire is unknown and
Mr.. Helmcr is at an entire loss to even
guess at its cause The mill and eleva
tor were inspected every evening at
O'Clock to guard against fire and the in
spectOr's report last evening was that
everything was all right" There was
scarcely any wind, what little there was
blowing from the northwest being favor
able against spread of the fire to other
buildings

Released From Jail.

Emil Cassi, formerly well known resident of Bisbee, and later of Jerome' who enlisted n Go. c. of the Koush Riders in the Cuban war, was released from jail in Havana, Cuba, the other day by Governor-General Wood. He was serving three years' sentence Tor having killed & lieutenant of the Cuban army last March. At the time the pris- oner was lieutenant of police, and the shooting occurred during the progress of fight in a prominent hotel over the distribution of American mo iey among Cuban veterans. The lieutenant of po- lice was born in Italy, but was an Amer ican citizen. Feeling ran high against him among the Cubans, and he was threatened with lynching.
 A wealthy Cuban girl became intat' uated with him and married him in Jail about month after his inprisonmant. She had given away fortune to the fevolutionlsts during the war, and alter the marriage appealed to Gen. Gomez to use his influence for her husband.
 Gomez refused, because the prisoner was an American. Sine then she has spent another fortune striving to gan her husbands release. She pleaded with Governor-Cieneral Wood, Governo. Roosevelt, President Mckinley and the military authorities here. Nothing daunted her. To gain her purpose she offered jailers large brioes until orders were issued denying her entrance to the prison,
 She disclosed to the military authorit- ies last summer plot of Cubsns to blow up the Tacon Theatre and another municipal building in Santa Clara on the night of the Fourth of July. The information caused much alarm in military circles, and for her conduct her husbands pardon was promised if the conspirAtors were arrested.
 Havana was put under military guard that night and a regiment of soldiers watched the building in Santa Clara. An attempt was made at both places exactly according to details furnished the by Cuban woman. !. Three men were caught in the act of placing packages of dynamite under the Tacon Theatre.
 This occurrence was looked upon at first as an indication of a general up rising among Cubans. An examination of the arrested parties disclosed in Santa Clara the same conditions.
 Since Governor Woods arrival he has taken an interest in the case and, con- sidering the prisoners he, oism at Santiago, he granted tho pardon. The man left Havana secretly after his re- lease, and will probably come to this country with his wife immediately ss he fears death at the hands of the Cubans.
