Is, one of loss early Saturday when the Kingfalla mill me largest inanulaeturing con-1 corns of that city, was wiped out i of existence by tire. The mills' were one -of I lie largest in this part of the state and employed a; large nuniber of people. The! lit siruciure was lornieriy used as the Argo starch works, but when that company was absorbed by the trust the citizens of Nebraska City purchased the works and in. stalled the alfalfa mills there. The loss is estimated, by Presi dent Hanks of the company, at about $150,000, with from $85,000 to 00,000 insurance. This is a very lamentable affair and our neighbors will have the sympathy of the citizens of IMattsniouth, and we trust that the works will be re built on a larger scale than before. ;. GEO. P.
