DR.. Wilmott met with quite q misfortune
last Saturday night. He farms near town
and raises q great deal Of marketing
"truck." He had put away 300 bushels Of
very fine sweet potatoes in q house. eXcavat-
| ed IN a bluff for the purpose. In this house,
lined with wood, was a stove. the pipe rum

fire was made up In it. When 1t was closed

got even for his Incarceration. He burned
the potatoes up. By burrowinS under the
pipe he loosened the joints, let the fire
escape, and the job was done. House and
potatoes were a total loss.
DIR. NJ. w. Tate. one of our best citizens,
is n great pomologIst. He has a very fine
orchard of apples OF many varieties. Last
Tuesday he presented this office samples Of
the Northern Spy. Baldwin, Roxbury Rus
sett, Maiden's Blush, Gennetlng and Belle
flower. that would do honor to any country
In size, general appearance and flavor. We
have the best apple country Oh earth here In
Central Missouri, and we regret to hear that
because of the low price our farmers are
permitting thousands OF bushels of spendid
fruit to go to waste. II they Will pile their
apples carefully IN the orchards, and cover
them properly with corn stalks, straw or
grass,so that they will neither be bruised ,or
freeze, they will find an active market, at
good prices the latter part of November.
Higginsville Advance :-"Constable Ke.-

spectacle white lady In Louisiana, this state,

answers the description very well. A re-
ward OF 81, 400 is offered for the guilty one.'
That we 30 not put on as much style as
some of our competitors is a fact. We adj

preterrIng to keep down expenses and econ
omise to the utmost In the cost of doing
business, we give the benefit OF so doing to
our customers. When you come to see US,
don't expect to find 4 palace for we haven't
got one, but you will find a big warehouse
full of goods and business, and we will
show you as large and better line of dry
goods than any in town and at the lowest

Henry Riggs Was a wild ,un"manageable ne
gro boy about ten years old. He gave
his mother, who lives in old town, a great
deal of trouble, and, it seems,s she frequently
gave him trouble by whipping him very Sc
verely. He occasionally ran away from
home, notably some months ago when the
Wizard oil men were here. and when his
mother discovering him in the crowd led
him out by the ear bowling with fright.
Henry had Of late frequented the elevator
near the Mo. Pacific railroad, and had been
repeatedly ordered away. He was seen
there last Friday. He was last seen at
home about noon of that day. 1t seems tina.
to crafty his curiosity, or, maybe, to fill
his pockets with wheat, as boys will some
times do. he slipped into the elevator unob-
served some lime Friday afternoon. AT
that time one of the single car load bins ut
the front OF the elevator was empty, anu
it became desirable TO ill 1t. Tuesday, III
filling q car with the wheat from this bin u
dIsagreeable odor was observed, and, the
wheat being turned into the inside OF the
elevator, a foot OF the dead boy soon pro-
truded from the grain spout. The wheat
was all run out In a separate pile upon the
fool, in due time the coroner was sent for, the
body hoisted out OF the bin, and an inquest
held. The most plausible theory is that the
boy entered the building, went up the
steps to the top where he amused him.
self observing the machinery, and seeing
the stream of wheat running into the bin
crawled over to see 1t more closely, and in
some way losing his balance fell into the
bin, very likely being sufocated by the
wheat before assistance could be rendered.
1t is a sad accident, and one which should
be a warning to all idle, disobedient boys.
He had 10 business there, had been ordered
away, and should have stayed away. The
next accidental death we expect to record
In that vicinity will be OF some other DISC
bedient and unruiy boy who has persisted
in hanging on to switching engines and cars
and has been run over, horribly MANNED
and killed.
