Bradstreet's to morrow will say : Trade reports are still rather mixed In character. Business feels the effect of con tinued winter weather, heavy snowfalls and freexing temperatures which have hurt early fruits and truck interests, retarded retail trade and affected Jobbing sales and shipments. Building has been Interrupted, but this Is only temporary and the winter wheat crop has ben put beyond harm by the heaviest snowfall In years at this period. l'ncrtalnty as to the coal strike Induces hesitancy In some lines of Indus try. but has Immensely stimulated coal and coke. Pig Iron Is dull and the steel rail sales are numerous snd immense expendi tures for railway building west and north west are projected. lemand for money Is active, hence rates are Arm and promise to continue so well Into the balance of the year. Banking opinion seems to lie that while no acute stringency Is to be looked for there will be nothing resembling stag nation and that trade and Industrial re quirements i will be very heavy. Collec tions are backward, an outgrowth of the slowness of retailers to remit on late win ter and early spring business, and warmer weather. It Is confidently believed, would remedy this condition. Railway earnings are really mugnlflcent. the tulld winter here being a distinct benefit and the ratio of frross receipts carried over to net has never efore been equalled. Additional Interest ing features are the numerous reports of wage advances made In several Industrial lines, the growth of the feeling that a great coal strike will net occur, the strengthen ing of. prices of leading staples, such as grain and cotton; the Increasing sales of leather to shoe manufacturers Indicating covering against fall sales of shoes, and the elimination of some soft spots In yarns and other varieties of manufactured cotton.

Major Mack of Albion commanded the first division and Captain Falconer of Omaha the second with Captain Workizer acting adjutant general. The companies In the procession were A, C, D and E of the First regiment and C, d and H of the Second regiment. Then came the letter carriers under command of Colonel Slzer, the honorary pall bearers In carriages, the active pall bearers walking beside the hearse, the general's riderless horse with empty saddle and stirrups reversed, mem bers of the family, the veterans of the First Nebraska, Grand Army of the Re public, Governor Mickey's staff and clti zens.

The artilery had been stationed at the cemetery and as the procession left the church a salute of seventeen guns wns nred. The services at the grave were brief and simple, merely the military ritual. Taps were sounded and the final salute of seventeen guns was fired. The grave Is in the center of a piece of ground In which are burled old com rades of General Thayer, and he himself selected the place. General Thayer's wife is burled in Massachusetts and at one time It waa his desire to be taken there fir burial, but In his later years he changed his mind and requested that when the end came he be placed in Nebraska soil. svrTleea at i he C'haroh. The funeral services at St. Paul's church consisted of short addresses made by com rades of the dead soldier, each taking some particular phase of his life for a subject. The church was tastefully decorated, a large floral piece with the Inscription "Thayer county" forming the centerpiece of the chain with two floral flags on either side. These pieces con sisted of red and white roses with the blu violets 4n the corner. The song servlje consisted of selections chosen by General Thayer, each of which was a favorite with him. Governor Mickey presided at these exercises and they concluded with the ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Invocation was by the Rev. Luther P. Ludden, which wss followed by an ad dress by Rev. Mr. Jones, pastor of St. Paul's church. Mr. Jones delivered an eulogy on General Thayer and his life. He held the general up as an example for all others. His trend was toward higher things always the speaker said. "Rock of Ages" was sung by a quartet of old soldiers, and "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" was sung by Mrs. M. B. Hoover. After the speeches hud been dcllver-.il the body was again placed In the hearse and the march to the cemetery liegan. The streets were crowded with citizens who occupied all the available space along thu line of rmareh. The addresses in the church were deliv ered in the following order: Governor Mickey, Colonel T. J. Majors, Jesse B. Strode and H. E. Palme;. .. Goveraor Mlekfya Estimate. Governor Mickey said. In part: As governor he was ever sensitive to the Interests of the people, whose servant he was. He had a deep appreciation of the revponslhillty resting upon him and hln constant effort was to discharge that re sponsibility In the fear of God. His oath of office meant more to him than so nianv words. He regarded It as a clarion call lb duty, an inspiration to the highest effort of which his nature wss capable. No mun can nil an Important public position and wholly escape criticism. General Thayer had his critics, but none in their more sober moments ever questioned his lnli-g-rlty or the purity of his motives. He gave his hest thought, his best energy, the best years of his lite to the cause of the people, not grudgingly, but with a prodigality which emptied himself and which Uft him in his declining years with hut a uvager pittance. Others will improve this ol,-iou occasion to pans upon him a fitting eulogy. I proclaim iilm one of nature's nubleiaen and bestow upon him the tribute of my love. Thayer as a Slatesmaa. Jesse B.

He said: , Comrades and Friends: Trying as Is the ord -al, yet I have listened to the commands of my living comrades to stand at this hour, in the presence of the remains of our dearly beloved and honored comrade and commander, and to spenk to yitu cf his sol dierly qualities. Limited as my time Is I could not hopo to do him Justice, therefote must pass by his brilliant career as a fron tier defender and tnllltarv commander from 1K54 to lSiil in the territory of Nebraska snd speak of him as a military character after the inauguration of the civil war. Of tho engagement at Fort Donaldson he said: Then It was that our colonel's heroism snd galantry earned for him the command of a brigade, undying fame and Immortal renown. Thence he proceeded with his command up the Tennessee river and engaged In the bloody battle of Bhlloh, and there earned further commendation and promotion. It It were permissible I might tell of one fact that came under my own personal observa tion. On Monday morning while the regi ment was lying flat on the ground in front of a rebel batterv not one hundred yards distant, which was persistently pouring Into our lines a most disastrous storm of shot and shell, and it did not seem possible that anything alive could survive It, Gen eral Thuver wns observed coming along the linns from left to rlnlit alone and on foot, his sides, his adjutant general and his orderlies having been' swept from him bv this hostile fire. As he passed along the line he gave the order. Uiat when the regi ment moved it was to fix bayonets and take that rebel battery. It was then his courage showed fcrth. not a tremor In his voice, not a doubt In his form or face. His courage inspired the confidence of all and richly crowned the sacrifice. Active In ii. A. II.

My comrade, Oeneral Thayer, was truly a man of the people, nnd his heart was ever with the men under his command dur ing the war. He was always the friend of the poor man and common soldier, and I remember well when I urged him to Join tho Military Order of the I.nval i.eglonrof the 1'nlted States he replied: "Your or ganization Is exclusively for men who were officers In the war of the rebellion?" I re marked that while at the front we were compelled. In obedience to army regulations and for discipline, to maintain a social dis tinction between officers and men. and that his associates snd ourselves were not the soldier boys In company or regimental ranks, thot our associates and companions during the war were with the line or staff officers, and now In the Loyal Legion we meet, na we did during the war, to plan the battles and tell of the success or re verses that we alone were held responsible for. "No use," said General Thuyer. "I am going to keep close to the boys that were ready with gun and bayonet or sabre to meet the foe. I commanded them then; they can command me now." STATEMENT BY GOV.
