Face Burned.

Fred Warner while engaged in hi
work at the machine shops this morn
ing, did not think of the effect produce
ed by lighted lamp coming in contact
with quantity of gasoline, and as a
sequel the right side. of his face is
burned to blister.
At the time of the accident he was
working at his bench, polishing piece
of brass, using polish containing gas
oline. When he had finished the work
of polishing the metal he held lamp
near to the brass to see If the work
was satisfactory. But, forgetful of the
gasoline, he held the lamp directly
against the can of explosive fluid which
instantly ignited. The flames pulled
into his face. seriously and painfully
burning the right side of his face from
the mouth to the center of the fore.
head. Paradoxical as it may appear,
the accident was most fortunate one
for Mr.. Warner, inasmuch as about
four years ago he met with an acct
dent which entirely destroyed the sight
of his left eye, and although the fire
burned the flesh from his face and the
right eye lid, yet the anterior surface
of the eye is uninjured, and DIR. Colt
the physician having the case in
charge states that the sight of the eye
will be uninjured by the accident.

The Corn Party.

Messrs. Porter Boggs and Charlie
Schultz entertained number of their
friends last evening in the form ola
corn party, at the home of d. w. Van
Housen on Fourth ST., and the even
ing spent was very enjoyable one.
AS soon as the guests arrived the
amusement began by each one being
given and ear of corn and were re-
quested to she'll the corn and count the
number of grains thereon. Mr.. Schultz
jotted down the number of grains each
held in their possession, after which
the whole amount was put into huge
bowl and each guest requested to show
their aptness in guessing the numb 81
of grains in the bowl.
Miss Fannie Bradley carried off the
first prize guessing the number 1906
the real amount being 1865. Miss
Carrie Smith drew the second.
An hour or so was passed in the
playing of games, but when supper
was announced the ladies were told
they would have to work to find their
escort to the table if they cared to eat
as the boys were given the names of
the different states of the Union and
the girls were given the capital letter
only of the same, to find the cores
ponding with said letter in a certain
length of time, which made some con-
fusion.
AS the boys were sure of their supper
they waited patiently until the young
ladies secured their chosen one. Boun-
teous refreshments were then served
by Mrs Van Housen assisted by Miss
Zelma Tucker, after which all return.
ed to their respective homes.

The New Mill.

Edgecomb and Deur. two of Missonr,
Valleys most energetic and aggressive
business men, are receiving BIDS for
the construction and equipment If
their nav roller mill, which will be
erected at the corner Of Ninth ana On
tario streets.
Workmen are engaged ia removing
the corn cribs which ROW eecupy the
selected site for .4- neW edifice and so
soon as the groua8 is Cleared the work
on the foundation will be started.
This foundation which will support
ne hundreds of tons of machinery will
be constructed entirely of stone. The
plans selected call for four story
building, for4y feet wide by forty -four
ieeI l"s :, the material nsed in the con.
struction to he wood covered with
iroA steetinG'.
The nav building will be utilized in
its entirety for mill purposes, the new
eighteen thousand bushel elevator
owned by kellogg & Deur, which is
situated only few yards from the mill
site will be used for storing the grain
used by the mill. AS the grain used
is drawn from the elevator d.!
rectly into the mill machinery
s through immense iron pipes which
h will connect the two buildings.
t The motive power which willturn the
J, thousands of wheels connected with
the mill machinery, will be furnished
by the same system installed in the
: old mill short time before its des-
= truction, that of a powerful electric
: motor propelled by electricity furnish
ed by the dynamos at the electric light
a station The building will be heated
by the steam furnishe1sby the boilers
i in the adjoining elevator and the mill
9 lighted throughout by electricity
q therefore the danger arising from fire
in the building will be reduced to q
minimum.
Located as it is, the mill will have
It most advantageous railroad facilities
the company already having a track
to the elevator and as the mill is but g
short distance east of this, it will be
the work of but few hours to estab.
It lish direct railroad connection.
n The projectors of the enterprise will
g expend any cum necessary to make il
u a first class mill IN every respect. The
g question which has occupied the minds
of the grain producers in this vicinity
. since the destruction of the old mill
$ as to whather or no there would be i
loca! demand for their produce has
9 been settled, much to the satisfaction
of Harrison County farmers.
