Mrs. Minerva Davidson OF Athens,
Mo-, the only sister of the deceased,
was unable to come to the funeral, on
account Of her feeble condition, she
being in her elsnty-second year.
Although veteran of the civil war
Mr. Milestone did not uesire that thu
G. A. r. should conduct his funeral
He was at one time member of Keo-
kuk lodge OF the Odd Fellows and of
the G. A. r.. but was not given to
lodge matters, and although he fought
for and honored the flag of his coun-
try, yet he did not believe that his
service for his country should entitle
him to military funeral.
He was born November II, 1888, in
Allegheny county, Pa, and enlisted
with his brother Frank at the begin
ming OF the war, in company G., Twen-
ty-First Missouri. After service of
fouf years and four months, he was
mustered out of the service at Athens,
Mo-, with the rank of lieutenant.
On September 10, 1866, Jasper New
ton MILESTONE was married to Miss
Odelia Miller and he took up farming
at Hoosier Green, near Argyle, in Lee
county, where their first child. j. A.
MILESTONE, was born. In 1873 he
moved to near Boonville, Mo-, where !,
second child, now deceased, was born.
From there the family went to Louisi-
ana, living there for several years, and
where the third child, Miss Mae, was
born. I az. 4 I'LL

people against the north, he went into

THE STORY or THE PEANUT.
SHELLS

AS everyone KNOWS, Z. w. Post of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong indiyidualist who believes that
the trades-uaions are, menace to the
liberty of the country.
Believing this, and being natural
born scrapper for the right, as he
sees it, Post, for several years past
has been engaged in a ceaseless war
fare against The Labor Trust" as he
likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression OF his opin-
ions on this subject through the, reg
ular reading pages of the newspapers
he has bought advertising space for
this purpose, just as he is accustomed
to for the telling of his Postum
story" and he has thus spent hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars In de-
nouncing trades-unionism.
AS result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations; how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their
own membership, and rob the public.
Naturally Post is hated by the trades.
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men. and he de-
ties their effort at boycotting his prod
ucts. The latest means OF getting"
Post is the widespread publication of
the story that car which was recent
ly wrecked in transmission was found
to be loaded with empty peanut shells,
which were being shipped from the
south to Posts establishment at Bat
tie Creek.
This canard probably originated
with President John Fitzgerald of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, who, it
is said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitzger-
aid the lie direct He denounces Fitz-
gerald's statement as deliberate
falsehood, an underhand and cowardly
attempt to injure his business, having
not the slightest basis in fact. AS such
an effort 1t must be regarded. 1t is
significant that this statement about
"the peanut shells is being given
wide newspaper publiaity. In the
patent inside of an eastern country
paper ] find it, and the inference nat
urally is that labor~nionites are in
sidiously spreading this lie.
An institution Cor man) which will
resort to moral intimidation and to
physical force, that will destroy ma
chinery and burn buildings, that will
main and kill if necessary to effect its
ends, naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur- |
poses.
We admire Post while we have
no enmity toward labor unions, so long
as they are conducted in an honest, |
kind of way, we
have had enough of the tarred end of |
the stick to sympathize thoroughly
with what he is trying to do. He de- |
serves support. A man like Post can
not be killed, even with lies. They are
a boomerang, every time. Again we
know, for he hasn't this weapon, every
weapon that could be thought of, been
used (and not simply by labor unions)
to put us out of business too?
am going to drink two cups of Post
um every morning from this time on,
and put myself on diet of Grape
Nuts. Bully for Post! Editorial in

Medicine.

CHICAGO, Feb. .-Wheat--Weath
er conditions generally seasonable
favorable to marketing and move
ment. Argentine shipments more lib
eral than expected, 3,136,0O0 Austral-
ian shipments 3,2SS,000, making the
prospect for heavy worlds shipments
Monday. The response OF Liverpool
to American firmness and the falling
off OF terminal receipts are encourag-
ing features to the bull. We are still
bullish on wheat, believing the local
and domestic situation a strong one.
Comparison with outside markets
show Chicago May wheat relatively
the cheapest trading future. With
cash wheat at a good premium and
strongly held the opportunities of the
May wheat bull will undoubtedly be
many.
Corn--Receipts 40, only two max.
ing the contract grade. Argentine
shipments small, weather conditions
still favorable for marketing and
movement. Many sections report
farmers indisposed to accept current
prices. Railroads are rapidly clean
ing up accumulations and if farmers
deliveries fall off receipts will be
lighter and the most important bear
influence will be lost Corn has had a
fairly good reaction from the recent
low point and there will doubtless be
some over holiday profit taking. We
would take advantage of dips to in
vest.
Oats Moderate receipts and fair
ly good cash demand continue tn re-
ouce local stocks With short hay
crop, a high price and big discount
under other grains oats look cheap,
the deferred futures particularly so.
We believe oats can be safely bought
around the present level OF on any
breaks
