small increase in the amount OF flour
ground last week. the figures coming
next to the unprecedented report OF

was PA. 100 barrels. or 81. Ala barrels
daily. Inc week before the output
was III, go barrels; for the cores
ponding time in 1891, POS, 720 barrels.
No disposito on is shown TO slacken the
immense pace at which the mills are
running, as the same twenty are going
again this week at a rate representing
between 81. 900 and So, 900 for every
working day. In the pressure to get
traffic eastward before the close OF
navigation decided scarcity OF cars
has developed and miliers are having
a great deal OF trouble TO secure enough
TO handle their output. The past week
the flour market has been pretty dull
ana the mills have probably not made
more than enough sales to offset half
the output

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
Tho New Union Depot Elective Clos
Ing Up OF the Downtown Pool
Rooms

ST.. LOUIS. Oct. 27.-The birth OF a
euspicion in the minds of the Board OF
Public improvements that the terini-
nal roads which are building the new
Union depot intended to gobble up
part of street has led to very full
explanation of the plans of the COM
pany. 1t was known that the build
ing was to occupy the greater part of
a block, and that it was t.
be the largest affair of the sort in the
country, but the full scope of the
plans was not understood. 1t develops
now, the structure being half finished,
that it's cost will be close to a million
dollars, with ornamentation as clabor-
ate as an art museum. Four or five
hundred trains day will pass in and
out of the depot when it is finished.
The first cars will discharge their pas
scngcrs in it before the lights blaze in
the streets of the city next fall.
There is far greater demand in st.
Louis for expert electricians than can
be filed, and good men of this sort are
almost naming their own salaries. Gas
for lighting, steam for engines, and
ing abandoned generally, and electric
plants are being put in everywhere.
There are two interesting signs of this
situation. One is the establishment of
night school for mechanical cngi-
neers, where they are taught to apply
their knowledge to electric machinery,
and the other is the organization of an
electrical society, composed of clec-
trical inventors and scientists This
opened it's first meeting the other night
with banquet at which there were
1913 plates.
The passage of the law by the Mis-
souri, Legislature, forbidding betting
in the State on races in other States,
has had a curious result here. st. Louis
has always had one tirst-class race
track, the one at the fair grounds,
which is under the control of the
Jockey club. Under the old condi-
tions, too there was one other out in
Forest Park, where amateur trials of
speed were had. The new law has
brought into existence three more
tracks. one in the southern part of the
city. where the racing by electric light
was done at night last summer; an
Other in East st. Louis, just across the
river; and the third across the river,
to-. near Madison. The company al
the back of this last enterprise
have built a passenger depot at the
foot of Olive street, and run train'
over the river every afternoon, while
; the racing is going on, at intervals o
!. half-an-hour. The great races of thu
;. city out ut the fair grounds track tal'
place in the spring and fall, and a
soon as they stop these other track
begin their winter racing. On the tw'
tracks across the river, of course, TIN
Missouri law doesn't apply, and tn
: book makers swarm there to get bet
!, on the Eastern races. The tracks ar
patronized principally by the st. Loui
!; people, and SO the law accomplish
nothing but the breaking up of tn
! pool-rooms in the business alleys dow
n town. This, by the way, was tn
= primary object of the Legislators VIII

uncovered heads while the eight BODY

There was nothing in the process

the deceased. The funeral cortege ar

Mrs, lsarrison's Remains.

WASHINGTON. Oct. PA cold VIM
stripped most of the leaves from the
trees in the white house grounds last
night and this morning the aspect of
nature is dreary. There will be no
official recognition of Mrs. Harrison's
death beyond flags at half mast on the
government buildings. Public bus
mess will 60 on as usual. Inc body
was laid out in the room in which
death occurred, but this afternoon it
was placed in casket anu taken TO
the east room. where it will remain
until after the funeral services. Tho
corpse shows the effects OF the wasting
illness, but the expression OF the face
is placid, kindly as in life. with no
traces OF suffering. The president.
though deeply grief-stricken, is more
composed today than yesterday, and
reasonably calm.
At a meeting OF the cabinet yester-
day morning it was decided that all
mem bers except Secretary Foster
should go to Indianapolis 10 attend the
funeral OF Mrs. Harrison. Nice-Presi-
dent Morton will be one OF the pail
bearers at the services here tomorrow W.
Secretary Rusk arrived this morning
and Secretary Eikins will reach here
during the DAY.
A special meeting OF the cabinet was
held at the deparsment of justice thi;
afternoon TO consider the question OF
taking some official notice OF the death
OF the presidents wife.
There were present Secretaries FL
kins. Rusk and Tracy, Attorney Cen
eral Miller, Postmaster General Wan
namaker, Assistant Secretary Wharton
OF the state department ana Assistant
Secretary SpaulGing OF the treasury
department. The advisaDility OF clos
ing the executive departments on the
day OF the funeral was the principal
topic under discussion, but in view Of
| the presidents deciination to issue ar
executive order to that effect it was
decided to postpone action on the mat
ter.
President Harrison doubts the wis
dom OF such action, however. and the
members OF his cabinet are consider
ably perpleXed as TO their individua
course in the matter. The majority
is understood to De in favor OF closin!

it will be decided SO after all.

The last skeleton taken from the
burying ground was u gigantic one.

such a pleasing swindle Every

that one of his ancestors was knight
