"We cannot at this time make sny state
ment as to our future plans," said E. II.
Merrlam, vice prealdent and treasurer of
David Bradley A Co., whose warehouse
with It stock of airrlcultural implements
was destroyed by fire Friday ' night, yes
terday. "J. ' Harley Bradley, president of
th company, who was notified of the fir
by telegraph Friday night, haa replied that
he will arrive from Chicago Sunday morn
ing, when we will talk matters over and
see what Is beat to be done."
Mr. Merrlam and Robert F. Smith, secre
tary of the company, secured temporary
office quarters yesterday In the Beno build
ing at 31 Pearl street, to which place the
books, papers and records saved Friday
night were removed during the day and
gotten In shape for use. At the time of
the fir the company had twenty or more
carloads of stock ordered and of these six
had already been shipped. The orders
were countermanded by telegraph Friday
night, but the stock In the cars already In
transit will hare to be taken care of and
If possible the company will occupy the
entire building at 31 Pearl street tem
porarily. All of yesterday two streams of water
were kept playing on the rulna. a special
effort being made to save the vault In
which most of the records of the Arm are.
An Inspection of the vault yesterday led
to the belief that It was In good shape
The door 1 not sprung by th Intense heat
and Mr. Meniatn expressed his belief that
the contents would be found In good shape.
"Th records In that vault are worth more
to the Arm than all the stock burned,"
declared Mr. Merrlam.
While the main building with Its entire
stock waa destroyed, there will be some
salvage from the stock in the largo frame
ahed facing on Sixth street. This stock
conalata of pumps, traction englnea, piping,
etc.
Insurance Carried.
Mr. Merrlam was unable yeeterday to
give any correct estimate of the value of
the stock destroyed. This will not be
ascertained until the Invoices and books
can be checked over. It was ascertained
yesterday that the firm carried Insurance

So far there Is not the slightest clue to
the cause of th fire. Mr. Merrlam stated
yesterday that th only conclusion he could
reach was that the fire originated from a
crossed or defective electric wire. It Is also
a matter of conjecture apparently aa to
what part of the premises the blaze started
In. People who were earliest on the scene
differed widely as to the exact part where
It started, aome Insisting that the flames
were first seen' In th covered sheds or
platforms at the west side of the main
building, while other claimed with equal
posltlveness that the entire Interior at the
rear part of the math smilding was biasing
before the flames were communicated to
the outside covered platforms and other
sheds.
The telephone and telegraph wires suf
fered considerably and both companies had
a number of men at work repairing the
damage. The Nebraska Telephone com
pany had one 200-plr, one 100-pair and ose
26-pair cable along South Main street.
These were crossed with the 'feed wire of
the street railway company 'and were
burned in two. The linemen feared to
work near the toppling walla yesterday
morning and assisted the firemen in pull
ing down the higher portions at the south
and north corners on Main afreet. This
was accomplished by means af a large
wire cable and pulleys. The work of
rasing the remnants of the walls was
watched by a, large crowd.

"If I were to offer to wsger that I could
sit squarely on my silk hat without crush

said a clubman to a fellow member. "Well,
you would lose," he continued. "A good
silk hat should support the weight of a
man say 140 pounds without yielding, pro
vided the weight Is applied gradually and
carefully. The way to do It la to place tha
hat on a smooth, strongly supported sur
face, crown downward, and lay a board
across the rim, In the hollow. On this seat
yourself steadily and slowly, and you will

hat that lias once been bent or broken will
not do. Nor Is the rule Invariable. It

OMAHA INDIANS PKESENT CASE
Tell Commlaaloner I.enpp Some of the
Grievance They Desire to Have
Him Adjast Xebraakann at
Gridiron Clob. "
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Representative Pollard arrived In
Washington Saturday and has taken apart
ments at the Congress Hall hotel. Mr.
Pollard will be Joined by hla wife next
week. Congressman Pollard has been In
th West Indies for some weeks, where he,
with others, hare a concession from th
Haytlan government to a strip of land
upon which there Is valuable hardwood tim
ber. 1
'I had rather a rough passage returning
from Hayti," said Congressman Pollard to
day. "We ran Into a gale when we struck
the gulf stream and the vessel upon which
t was a passenger wss light and rolled and
pitched to such an extent that I certainly
wished myself safe upon terra flrma most
anywhere, but preferably In good old Cass
county, Nebraska. We reached port event
ually about eighteen hours late."
Mr. Pollard today called upon Speaker
Cannon to see how the land lay for him
as to committee assignments. He found
the speaker In a genial mood, but not en
tirely inclined to give Mr. Pollard just
the committee assignment he desired
namely, a place on the committee on agri
culture. Mr. Cannon said he had a better
assignment in view for the representative
from the First Nebraaka district. This Is
position on th committee on merchant
marine and fisheries. Mr. Pollard was as
sured that because of his speech of last
session, when the ship subsidy was under
consideration, he had won renown and at
tracted th eyes of the speaker, so to
speak, and Mr. Cannon dealres that Mr.
Pollard take an assignment on the com
mittee on merchant marine and fisheries,
believing that he can be more useful there
than upon th committee on agriculture, a
position coveted by th congressman from
th First district. It may work out that
Mr. Pollard may secur the chairmanship
of this Important committee.
Upon his arrival In Washington Mr. Pol
lard found a telegram from former Gov
ernor Herrlck of Ohio, Inviting him to
make an addreaa before th Merchant and
Marine league at Cleveland December 20.
Mr. Pollard said he would accept If his
congressional duties would permit of the
absence at the time.

Do you know that baking powder undergoes a chemical reaction in die
process of baking?
It's a fact The nature of the original substance in a baking powder such as
Calumet is entirely different m the baking. One of the greatest authorities on
citemistry in the country, found that, 'a loaf of bread made from a quart of
flour, leavened with cream of tartar baking powder contained 45 grains more
RocheDe Salts, than is contained in one Siedlitz Powder.
Remember, this drug is not in the can. It is formed by the chemical reaction
the baking.
That is why so many baking powders which produce impurities in the baking,
can be advertised as 'absolutely pure1. It may be pure in the can, but it is
Dot necessarily pure in the food.
Calumet Baking Powder is absolutely free from every impurity. Food leavened
with it contains no Tartaric Acid, Rochelle Salts, Alum, Lime or Ammonia
it is Cbernically Correct We will give $1000 to any one who finds any
injurious substance in the food leavened with Calumet Baking Powder.
Calumet is the only high grade baking powder sold at a
price. And it produces the greatest leavening power.
