A New Elevator. Vermillion, Nov. 25.-McKaull, Webster & Co. have begun the constructio: of a large elevator to be used by them for buying grain. It is being built on the Austin lot in the same place that the Newton elevator stood before the flood of 1881. The Newton elevator was first built in this city in 1873. The farm ers are very much in hopes of better prices for grain, as there is likely to be close competition between this new firm and the Thompson & Lewis company, who have been the sole buyers for a number of years. The Milwaukee company has cut down its freight train service from daily to semi-weekly. It inconveniences the cattle and grain buyers to a great extent. A kerosene oil stove overflowed while burning yesterday in the home of J. W. Grange. The stove was in the bedroom in the second story and was not discovered until it had gotten a pretty fair start. In the room was stored several hundred dollars' worth of dresses, all of which were more or less damaged by the smoke and oily soot. The fire was discovered before much damage was done. The Missouri river crossing is in ex. cellent condition. Nebraska farmers are marketing their grain and hogs at the Vermillion markets. Carr Had Flown.
