TRADE ON FIRM BASIS.
Mild Weather Retards Some Sales, but
Is Beneficial to Builders.


Is Beneficial to Builders.
"Unfavorabe signs are rare in the
business outlook. Manufacturing indus
tries enjoy exceptional activity and most
jobbers and retailers find no occasion for
complaint. Mild weather is the one in
fuence that may be charged with retard-
ing retail merchandise distribution, yet
there is general confidence that any sales
thus postponed will be made up later.
The same influence is invaluable in facll-
ltating the handling of crops, erecting
buildings and other outdoor work. Al
though fifth of the year is still to be
heard from, including the usual Interrupt
ton of elections and possible disturbance
Of legislation, there is ample evidence that
the volume of legitimate business Will

HIS MIND BECAME PARALYED.
Missing Pittsburs Man Found in Cook
County ASYIur1,

John H. Crisp, aged 81 years, mysteri-
ously disappeared from Pittsburg last
May. According to physicians, his case
is very peculiar one. On May he
suddenly was afflicted with paralysis of
the mind, and was later found in Chi
cago, where he was arrested on a charge
OF being intoxicated. An examination by
the physicians revealed the true state of
affairs, and he was sent to the Cook
County asylum, where for five months the
keepers tried to ascertain who he was
and whence he came. Only few days
ago he accidentally let drop few words
about his residence with Mrs. Andrews.
Word was sent to her and a messenger
from Pittsburg was sent to Chicago, who
brought him back. He is now in q fair
WAY to recovery

worth of buildings and slaughtered cat
tie were destroyed Wednesday night by a
fire which broke out in the extensive
plant of the 6. II. Hammond Packing
Company at Hammond, Ind, just across
the State line from Illinois. The flames
were discovered few minutes before Z
o'clock, almost Immediately after the big
gates of the slaughter houses had swung
back to let the flood of employees sweep
out toward their homes, and at midnight
four great buildings had toppled over III
ruins and the flames were roaring hlgh
above the dsmantled walls and threat
ening to destroy the ten structures that
remained standing.
Hammond's fire department found it
self utterly helpless to contend against
the advance of the flames, and message
was sent to Chicago shortly before 1
o'clock imploring that assistance be sent
Immediately.
Chicago Sends Hep.
Chief MuSham At once ordered 1our
engine companies to proceed to the as
sistance of Hammond and before III
o'clock Chief CampiOn was on the ground
ready to give battle to the contlagratlon'
At midnight the following buildings had
been RACED by the flames: Export beeI
cooler, four-story brick and frame, 800 by
100 feet containing thousands of head or
slaughtered cattle; cold storage ware
house for cattle, considerably smaller
than first building; beef slaughter house,
sheep slaughter house. Several persons

buildings are grouped close together not
far from the Calumet river. Beside the
slaughter houses and warehouses, there
are half dozen frame buildings occu-
pied as residences by officials of the COM
pany, brick structure for the general
offices. There was also a shed used LOT
housing the private fire department con
nected with the establishment, but tins

paratus had fairly cleared the place.
Thirteen hundred men or boys were em-
ployed about the plants.
Loss Over Half a Million.
The G. H. Hammond Company is one
of the pioneer packing houses. 1t was
established in 1869 and grew from small
proportions gradually and steadily until
it has come to occupy many acres OF
ground.
General Manager Bell and Philip
Mesney, insurance agent for the firm,
agreed at midnight the loss would not
exceed .$75O,000, and that this sum was
fully protected by insurance.
General Manager Bell announced that
while the work of rebuilding would wait
only on the task OF insurance adjustment
the company would at once put on a
double force in its plants at South Omaha
in an effort to fill the orders assigned to
the destroyed buildings. Mr.. Bell eX-
planned that all employees of the Ham
mond plant Will be given work at the
South Omaha establishment.
