Delphos Mill Burned It is a Loss of $30,000 and no Insurances. Special to the Capital DELPHOS, KAS., November 14 The Delphos flouring mill was destroyed by fire yesterday (Sunday) morning. The origin of the fire is not positively known but it is supposed to have come from the steam heater. The lose is about $30,000, no insurance. The mill had recently been refitted and fully equipped with the best modern machinery and had a capacity of 100 barrels per day. Several thousand bushels of wheat and a number of tons of flour were also consumed. The fire was under such headway when discovered that nothing was saved. The loss falls heavily upon the sole owner, Mr. Geo. Stratton, as also upon our community.

THE SERVICE IN MINNEAPOLIS A Kansas Town Believes the Union Pacific Is Worse Than the Missouri Pacific To The Star: Believing you to be anxious to help your readers, and the people of Kansas City in general, I am writing to acquaint you with the kind of service we in this county seat town of about two thousand people, and as rich a country as ever lay out of doors, receive from the Union Pacific Railway Company, after paying them $300,000 to come through here. Our morning mail train – if never really never, gets in until from 1 to 7 p.m. – is a freight and no trains on Sunday at all. Three weeks ago last Monday our first mail, or in fact any mail, including The Kansas City Star of Saturday, came in to us at 7 p.m., Monday night. I traveled for some little time on the central branch of the Missouri Pacific and am ready to produce figures to prove that for mail service there is no town of this size on the Missouri Pacific receiving such treatment from them as we are from the Union Pacific.
