Thomas j. Mosteller died at his
home in st. Francois county on
Sept. Goth. aged So years. He
weighed 620 pounds, was a farm
er and citizen highly respected
by all. Realizing some years ago
that when he died no ordinary
coffin could be found large
enough for him, he had a walnut
tree on his farm cut and sawed
into lumber and saved it, and
from this his coffin was made.
He was perhaps the largest
man in the world and it is sup
posed that he died from his exces-
sive size as he had never been
sick nor took a dose of medicine
in his life. He frequently went
to Pennington and attended to
his business. He leaves a large
family Of children, all of whom
are rather small for their ages.
His father is said to have died in
the same way only he weighed
but 300 pounds. Mr.. Mosteller
has a cousin living in the same
neighborhood who is perhaps the
smallest man in the county--Irvin
Shaner, SO years old,36 inches
tall and weighs only IS pounds.
These cousins were great friends
and Mr.. ShanHr Is much grieved
over the death Of his big cousin.

Wednesday morning that John
Sweeney, Of Kennett, had burned
to death in the citybastile at Pas
cola, Pemiscot county, on Tues
day night, Oct. 9th. We were
informed that Sweeneywas drink
ing when he boarded the train at
Kennett for Pascola. After ar
irving at his destination he pro-
ceeded to "tank up" right. Be-
coming boisterious he was locked
up in the citybastile. Some time
during the night the Jail was
either set on fire by Sweeney or
someone on the outside. Before
he could be rescued from the
burning building his arms and
legs were burned from his body.
He died in great agony. Sween-
ey was pretty we'll known in this
section of the county and was in
reality a bold, desperate man,
when drinking. He is the man
who was arrested with DR.. Harri-
son, also of Kennett, on a charge

made by order of q Berlin court with
which a denunciation was lodged. At
first the source of this denunciation

plain the presence of the hotel marked

ANOTHER FREAK PROPOSITION,
Governor Hoch Gets a Queer Letter
From Chicago Man.

S. Weir Graydon, the man who pro-
posed to build the tallest tower in the
world at Fort Riley, the center of the
United States. is outdone by o.. G.
Wales Of Chicago. Mr.. Wales has
written to Governor Hoch with much
enthusiasm about his substitution for
the GraydOn scheme.
1t is a little difficult to tell exactly
what Mr. Wales is driving at, but he
promises to come to Topeka soon and
explain the whole thing. The project
seems to be a combination of a baby
show, cantata. retreat for aged news
paper men, old folks and infants
home and Kansas cement. The ce-
ment seems to be injected into the
plan for the purpose of lending
conference, which otherwise would be
sadly lacking.
Mr.. Wales says that owing to the
fact that Kansas is the greatest ce-
ment producing state in the union
$40 acres Of land should be secured at
Fort Riley, upon which he will agree
to erect a home for infants and aged
people. Mr. Wales does not say who
viii furnish the money. but it is in
ferred that he is going to pass around
the hat for he says that in order to
