I Last night the announcement was made that the Shellabarger interests In the American Hominy -company had been disposed oi' In a lump and that the members of a family were no longer connected with the milling business of this) city. In a business way that seems almost an impossibility because during more than forty years to mention the milling' business In this was to naturally think of the Shellabarger family, because father and son have been engaged in that line for move than forty years and it seemed that the business was 'likely to go to the third generation. D. S. Shellttbarg-er who has for more than forty years been the head of the business has In recent years acted only in an advisory capacity, his son, W.

L. Shellabarger, being the active manager of their extensive interests here. Last night when W. L. Shellabargrer made that announcement he said that the purchasers were Boston and Akron, Ohio, capitalists who had- made the purchase as an investment and that himself, his father and brothers had Bold out because the thought-they-had- received a good offer.

He declined to say' the extent of the holdings In the Hominy company sold or the price received, but it is understood that the Shellabargers were among the heavy holders in that company, which Is capitalized $3,750,000. D. S. Shellabarger and his sons, Luclen of Decatur, find Fred Rhel- labarger of Salina, were all in the company and all. of them parted with their holdings at the surrK! time.

The Decatur milling interests of the Messrs. Shellabarger sold American Hominy company, in May of last, year, that company buying all of the big corn mills in the country, the Pratt mill of this city also being Water street where- under the narhe D. 'Co. he conducted a flouring mill, a small concern. His uncle, Isaac Shellabarger, was tins other partner in that concern.

Soon after 'that William Bowers became in-; terested-'ln the business and continued there until 1S8S when on account of ill health he sold his interest to W. Shellabarger and tKe business was Incorporated under the name of the Shellabarger Mill and Elevator company, D. S. Shellabarger and his three', sons being the stockholders. The- business which was a small one, when D.

S. Shellabarger first grew'little at a time until when the plant was sold to Hominy company the flour mill had a capacity of 350 barrels of flour a day and the grinding of corn had in-greased until the capacity of the mill was 10,000 bushels of corn dally. The firm name and-the goods they made had become well known all over this and adjoining states, and when the business was sola to the American Hominy company the copyrighte-l brands were Sold 1 along "with the mill, as adjuncts of business, for they were In high favor. During tHe yeaTsftthat he: has 4een in' I SlielJabarger has been ably essfeted by his sons, L. and Fred Shellabarger preferred work in the office.

---W. L. became the active manager of' -the business hero and Fred went to Satina, to' charge of'the extensive miMng: interests which his ha'd there which Ire still Luclen-.

THE HIGH WATER Expeotatlon That It-Will Next Appear In the Amerloin Bottom To Discomfort of Illinois Lines. HAS GOULD SECURED THE B. Big Business In May--Changes in the News. The Wabash officials arcylitUf afraid that the next high' water will brlngr work to the middle 'division.

As a rule ft is not until after the crest has passed points further up the river that the trouble commenced at or near St. Louis. A Thus far there has been no damage In the American bottoms, but there Is said to be sufficient, water in the Missouri and other tributaries, yet to be poured In the Mississippi that will make trouble plenty. The rains In this section have been so severe thai all of the creeks are booming and when this flood of water ia poured the nilnols and thence tnto the Mississippi. there may be Something doing.

When 'the high water 'does strike the American bottoms practically every road entering St. Louis from the east will be in trouble. The report from Hannibal yesterday fo the headquarters was to the effect that the stage of water had reached 'and eight inches and fourteen feet was- the- danger line. Hannibal i'epdrt said that I twenty-four hours 'elided- Mohday morning the water In the Mississippi had risen twenty inches and that It was i 1 coming up at that rate. East of the-Mississippi the-Wabash was not having any trouble but in and near Kansas City that company was sharing the same fate: of all other roads and was having great difficulty The report from Kansas' City yesterday was to the effect that there was between six'and seven feet of water in the union passenger statlbn.

On the middle division In many places the are bank- full but there has hot yet been any sign of danger to the tracks and bridges. Big The number of engines' despatched from the Wabnsh round house at De- 4atur during the month of May Just was 1668. That was about fifty-three each day and Is enld to be the biggest May month ever known at Decatur. In the same month last year there were despatched from Decatur 1468 engines, eV6n -200 less than was despatched this year. Resigned, W.

In an ambulance to the hosotal at once. On account of the apparent urgency of the call the ambulance was hurried to the place. While the 'Morses were dashing east on Herldmer street a dog Jumped out and caused the horses to lurch and one of the lines broke, leaving the driver powerless to hold 'the- team.

A the Illinois Central track was "only a short distance ahead and the ambulance would probably have een dashed to pieces had It not been for the quick work of the driver, Louis Hanks! iln a.n instant Hanks made an almost Jnirnculous jump over one of the Worse's and caught the animals by the bit and stopped them.
