With the acquisition of the mill property, this firm becomes one of the largest milling and elevator companies in Southwest Missouri.

Detroit has no monoply of hooliganism awheel that uses the first liquid for a personal lubri- cant and the second to burn up the speed laws. The combination is peculiarly deadly, and the worst of it is that those whom it vic- timizes are usually the innocent. The man of the reeling head and the derelict wheel wakes from a rose is here, one son, Joseph Skaggs, is with the 4th Field Ar- tillery at Columbus, New Mex., a daughter, Miss Fay, resides at Chicago, and one daughter lives here. Mr. Skaggs was a splendid man and had a large number of friends in Nevada.—Saturday’s Nevada Mail. Mr. Skaggs was formerly a res- ident of this city where he con-' ducted a piano store. Several years ago he moved to Nevada. Train Wréck Near Clinton The southbound M. K. & T. train known as the Texas special went over an embankment twenty feet high near Clinton Tuesday.

To the fact that the train was made up of steel coaches is attributed Until the track was M. Ko & T. trains drunken stupor to a mumbled penitence, but the bloody trail be- hind him eries from the ground for his proper penalizing. Public opinion will applaud the decision ofa righteous judge, whose seem- ing severity is a forewarning that will prevent the-loss of other lives. Life of Fence Posts.
