The Jobbing trade for the pa t six days as
compared with that of tbo previous wc&U
presents fnw changes of nny Importance.
The movement of goods has been unusually
largo for the pratoni season of the year nnd
lully up to what was anticipated.
Taking the month of Juno as a whole nnd
comparing It with previous months und a big
change will bo noted. In April und May Iho
weather conditions wcro very unfavorable
lor the coming crops nnd trade was effected
In u very marked degree. Merchants were
cautious and Inclined to feel their way. Few
\\cro willing to Block up heavily and take
chances ns to what would bo tbu final out
come of the backward Miring.
With the coming of .Juno the promise of n
prosperous year was most fluttering , and
confidence was immediately restored. At the
mme tlmo the demand lor goods in a retail
way , which had been delayed by thu wetund
backward season , suddenly revived. The
retail merchants were caught with depleted
stocks , and they delugud the Jobbers with
orders.
This rush for goods has been kept up dur
ing trio whole mouth of June. A grod many
Joobcw do not hesitate to suy that they never
unjoycd u uctlor month's trudo during their
experience In business.
The demand Is still keeping up , but how
much longer It will continue It Is Imposslblo
lo say. Ortu thing , nowovcr , may oo set
down as tolerably certain , und that Is tboas-
borlton that thu continmuice at Iho present
heavy trade will depend very largely upon
the crop conditions. A fair amount , of rain
nnd plenty of warm weather nlll keep the
crops growing nnd goods moving.
Coming Onmlinward.
After the trade conditions have boon caro-
lullv analyzed and lully explained In tbo
direction ubovo indicated , thcro still remains
utiothcr very good reason for the largely in
creased iriulo enjoyed by the Jobbers. The
retail trade of Nebraska , and of the wholu
territory tributary to this city , is looking
more and moro lo Oinahu as a point of sup
ply. The old Idea that u merchant could no
be'tlcj by going eusl lo buy has been almost
entirely "wiped out. The merchant who goes
cast of Omaha to replenish his stock Is lojuod
upon us an old timer who U not Quito up to
the present prrpnwivo spirit of trade.
Then no thcro lux 01 late developed a
very friendly fouling In business circles
throughout tno state toxvurd Omaha.
This city has coino to bo the best customer
that the stuto has. M my of the munufsc-
turers out through the stuto huvo r-icantly
found a hplenoid market for their products
in Omahn , nnd several of tbo larger factories
xvhlch liave no competitors uo.nl that their
Boods nro In every store ol any importance
in O.imha. This city also purchases almost
nil the live stock grown in the state , amount-
lag to several million dollars annually , as
\vcll as a largo proportion of other farm pro
ducts.
It is only uatural that a city which
takes such ii largo proportion of the surplus
product of thu fcurrounillng territory should
supply that territory in turn with goods. As
n matter of convenience , If lor r.o ether rea-
EOII , merchants llko to buy in the same mnr-
Itet In which they sell. Thuro is also a sontl-
tiiont strong in most men to patroni/o these
who patroimo them and Omaha by purchas
ing the surplus products of her territory
must nccuoaurlly add to her trade in that ter
ritory.
Q Tbo jobbers are experiencing splendid re-
Ettlts from thu home patromigo movement ,
but they cannot ufford to dupond entirely
upon the manufacturers and retail merchants
of Omaha to xvork up senllmeiit. No Omaha
Jobber can afford to bo backward about
bundling the product of every Nebraska fac
tory turning out goods in his lino.
Tlio I'rnducoMarkets. .
Country produce has commanded steady
prices the greater part of the week. Whut
lluctunllons have taken pluco huvo not been
of very much impjrtanco. The ninoting of
thu national convention in the city will tend
to stimulate the demand the first of the
week , bul Ills likely to bo only .temporary.
The arrivals ot California and southern
fruits nro quite liberal , and the market has
uccn fairly xvoll supplledthumostof thotime.
The demand from thu country has been good
and shipments quite satisfactory.
CollcvtlniiH < ! < HK | .
From every source come reports of peed
collections. H is ninny times'the case that
when trade ts good collections are inclined
to drag , bul Una is by no means truu of tbo
present. Collections xvero never bettor nnd
money appears to bo uloutv in the country
districts , resulting no doubt from the largo
spring sales of corn.
At tbo bunks in Omaha money is reported
as plenty and in excess of thu demands of
borrowers.

\V. II. Kohcrson , munagor of U. O. Uun &
Co's. mercantile agency , regarding the trade
iltuatlon says ;
The month of Juno hat boon very satlsfac-
lory In all jobbing lines , though not up to the
cxpocUtloi.s of retail dealers. Almost xvilh-
out exception joobers have done a larger
business Ihun over before In the same month.
This has been partly duo to the bad xvoather
of April and May and lute springxvhlch throw
u part of the May trudo Into Juno and cave
that month the benefit ot the roactlou which
naturally folloxvs an unusual depression in
bjr.lncss circles. Throughout the entire month
the deposits In the bunks have boon increas
ing and tbo demand for money has tiol kept
up xvHh iho supply. As a consequence It Is
tollevcd If n statement had been culled for
on the IIUlli of Juno It xvould have shoxvn
more money on deposit and moro cash on
hand in Omaha banks than xvas over before
known In the financial history of the city.
Thu month bus been very favorable forcrops ,
UK U shown by iho elaborate crop reports
furnished the press by this agency , and those
give promise of an excellent tall trade. In
detail the situation wus about ns folloxvs for
the month :
Ii recedes in good demand ana collections
bolter than a yuariigj. The volume of busi
ness for the month is considerably In excess
of that of June , IS'Jl. '
Dry goods houses ugrca that the month has
seldom been excelled and moro than met
their most sungulno expectations.
Ttio hardware men in all branches xvcro
croxvdcd xvltli orders during tbo entire
month und closed their books for Juno with
many unfilled. The increuse ever it your ago
bus run from -0 to 11.1 per cent.
The triulu in boots nnd shoos has boon
riKlnng. Tbo larger houses report their
trndo fully 2 , ' per cent ahead of u year ago.
'Iho drug business ha.i net boon phenome
nally i in-reused , but Iho txvo leading houses
hero ugrou that June xvas a wry tatUfaatory
month xvlih thorn.
The ; saddlery trudo reached remarkable
proportions , ranging from ' 'A to f > U per conl
bolter than lust your at this time.
I'.ilnls , gluts , oili und building materials
liiivo ucon lu largo demand from points In
the Interior , though the trudo in Omubu has
boon slack ,
Lumber dealers speak In n similar strain
of their line.
It Jsiiol often that Jobbers In millinery ,
clothlUB and huts and cups have noted so
much activity at this season.
Manufacturers are very much oncour-
nped und lotno of thorn are beginning to
Jlguro upon enlargements. 1'ho "homo in-
movement , " which culminated lu a
creditable exhibit of N'obrmka manufacture ?
during the month , has dooo much to stimu
late local industries , Ono of Iho larger
homo manufacturers reports tm business
t-O.UOO ahead of last Juno and orders com
ing In at a rate which give * great
promise for a largo Increase in
his output for Iho year. Some of Iho smaller
houses are growing at a similar puce , nnd all
feel the effect of the local patriotism which
was so recently aroused upon thH subject.
The Nebraska mills have boon especially
benefited and most of thorn are running on
full tlmo , and sonn nra pro used lo fill orders.
At South Omaha Iho month has xvltnessoi !
large expenditures by the Union Stock Yards
company und the packing establishments.
It has also been maritod by the xtuady nd-
vnnco In prlcoi ot hogs , cattle and slicop ,
until noxv all nro bringing tha highest figures
of the vear , xvlth no early prospect of a drop.
The groxvth ot the South Omaln stock busi
ness Is well Illustrated by a comparison of

the limit ol the law.
At (1 ( o'clock fnst nlRht the trml ended , the

and cor. touching sanity , -

the bonullt of that doubt , agri'ulnjr upon a
verdict of murder In the second degree ,

As soon as the agreement was reached
the fact was conveyed to the ballilT
'
on the oulsulo of 'the door , lie then
started oil posthaste to notify Judge Davis ,
the clerk , Sheriff Bennett , Jailer .Miller and
the attorneys.
An hour later , ludgo Davis reached the
court house and ordered ttio Jury
brought Into court. Then cnnio Clerk
Mooros and Attorney Dick. In the
n.eantlmo Fox had boon aroused from a
peaceful sleep , and hastily dressing himself
was escorted from the Jail to the court
house by Sheriff fionnott , Deputy Courtney
nud Jailer Miller. As they reached ttio foot
of tlio stairs Miller'spoVa to Fox , saying :
"You have got to walk upstairs this time ,
as wo don't propose to carry you. "
Tlio murderer braced up , and , unas
sisted , plodded his way up the llight ,
of stairs , marched into the court room and
aropood Into tils accustomed seat. He than
turned to the jury , and after gnashing his
teeth , uttered some unintelligible- sounds ami
then quieted down.
Then the Verdict Was Annmiiicrd.
"Havo you agreed upon a verdict ! " In
quired .ludgo Davis.
"Wo have , your honor , " responded the
foreman , as the document was passed up to
Clerk Mooros.
It was short and to the point , sun-
ply reciting the fact that Nicholas
Fox had been found guilty of murder in the
second degree.
"So s.iy you oil , gentlemen of the Jury ! "
asked the court.
Each man nodded his head In approval.
After thanking thu Jurors lor tnolr pa
tience In lislculni : to the evident' ' ) In the
lengthy trial , the judge discharged them for
thu day and court adjourned until the usual
hour.
Hi- Still I'luyod Insano.
At the opening of the reirular session
yestcreay morning , mm after the read
ing of the Journal , Fox was ordered
brought in for sentence. Clad in
the regulation Jail gait ) , consisting
of a kino blouse and pants , and accompanied
bySheriff Bennett aim Jailer Miller , Fox
ngain entered the room. Ho seated himself
bcsido the attorneys' table , and with an
air of supreme indifference looked
about the room , now and then turning to the
empty Jury box.
"Nictmlns Fox , " snid JudgeD.ivis.
There was no response. Again the Judge
called the name of tlio murderer , and as he
did not respond or move ho was led before
the court. For a moment ho shook
his head and heat bis bands like
a wild man. Then , suddenly stop
ping his antics , he drooped his hands
to bis side and assumed a listening attitude ,
with his head bent toward the lluor.
SriitunciHl fur I.Ho.
Judco Davis then imposed the sentence In
the following words :
"Nicholas Fox , It. Is apparent to this court
that , you have ueen feigning insanity. You
have boon tried for mur.lcr and tlie jury has
returned u verdict of murder in thu second
degree. Your counsel have abandoned
tbo opportunity of moving for n new trial.
Have you anything to s-iy why the sentence
of the court should not bs imposed ? "
Fox continued his indifference , muttering
something In an unintelligible tungue.
"Thu sentence of the court is , " added the
Judco , "that you ho taken hence to the county
Jull , and uitliin the period of thirty days be
token to Hie penitentiary at Lincoln ,
wlicro you will be conllncd at bard labor
during your natural lilo. Tnis is now tbo
only penalty that you can suiter on this
earth. "
The prisoner was hurried out of court and
the somewhat sensational Fox murder trial
was at an end.
run's Attorneys Satisfied.
Attorneys Kelley and LJlck , who conducted
the defense , stated that they were well satis-
lied with the verdict of the Jury. They did
not move for n new trial , simply because
they did not. wont to take chances on another
jui-y. Attorney Kelley , in speaking of the
case , stated that it was the hardest legal
light in which he had ever engaged. Public
sentiment was against his man from Ilrst to
last. The trial had boon fair and he had no
fault to find.
That Fox played a deep game and
played to win was apparent during the
whole trial , but this morning tliero
were several things happened Hint proved
conclusively that ho was feigning insanity.
Tliruiv OH' tliii
After ho was taken from the courtroom ,
whcro ho learned the verdict of the Jury , bo
was escorted to the basement of the jail and
forced Into the bath tub. There ho per
formed his ablutions , twice complaining
that the water was too cold. More
hot water was turned into thu
tub , and after the right temperature
had been reached ho remarked , "That's
cnouch , " When he completed bis bath , in a
natural tone of voice ho called for his over
coat , a garment that ho had not been since
the day of the preliminary examination hold
in South Oinahu lust winter. After milling
on his coat ho said ho was rcatjy to go up
stairs. Ho was then locked In the steel cngo
n nil for a tlmo kept up his ravings.
Prior to tbo convening of court in regular
soislon. In company witn Dr. Fielder , Attor
ney ! Kelley and Uick , a 15in : mun visited
Fox for tlio purpose of getting hU opinion
upon the verdict. Tin : Bui : mun went up to
the ban and remarked :
"Fox , how do you fcell"
The wouldbo mntiiao stared off into vac
ancy , but never uttotcd a word. Again thu
question was repeated. Fox roared llko a
wild beast , toro about the cugo , but would not
speak.
The reporter slid out of the corridor , hut
remained within hearing , while Attorney
.Dick talked with his client. As he approached
preached the cage ho said : ' 'Hollo , Fox , old
boy , bow do you fool/ "
. "I'lllllOll 'Kill III ( illllll SllilIC. | "
Fox commenced to laugh. walkedup to
the sldo of the cell , and sticking two
llngnrs through the grating , remarked
in a clear and intelligent tone :
"Dick , 1 fooled 'om lu good sbapo , but that
towel that Joe kept about my noon hurt llku
h 1 some of the tlmo. I stood It Hltu it man ,
though there weru times when I thought I
would huvu to glva in , "
"Did you wunlus to movoforanoiv trial 1"
asked Dick.
"Not by u d d sight , " responded Fox. "I
buvo got out of this In pro'.ty good shupo ,
and don't euro to try it again. "
Attorney Kelley , having known Fox for
years , thought ho would have u talk with
him , and after Dick had concluded ho s ld ,
" ( Jood morning. "
"Uood morning , " replied Fox.
"What do you think of the verdict I" asked
Kolloy.
"Considering that you were bids , I think
you did d d well , " laughed Fox In reply ,
'i'tiou Iho incu conversed for teu tuluutcs
regarding penpla nnd affairs at I
Valparaiso , Ind. , after which tha |
1'ox ' children became the subject
ot conversation. When their names were
mentioned Fox broke doivn and commenced
to cry. llosald the most that ho regretted
was that ho had to leave his lltllo ones. Hi
wanted them to bo taken cnro of by lilt
molhor. but ho was afraid the Shormnnt
would not glvo thorn up. As Kelley
loft the cell Fox thanked him foi
his services . and trndo him toll
hU mother , that ho ( Fox ) frequently thought
of her nnd nil of the members of the family.
Fox was crying bitterly , but Just then Dr.
Tlldon stepped before tha b\rs and said ,
"Fox.hownro you feeling I"
The murderer droxv his hand acroai his
eyes and at once took on that wild loot !
which ho ha * tried to cultivate for months.
Hu howled , stamped , and to nil appearances
was Insane , though the doctor declared that
ho was shamming nnd was a successful actor.
