Joshua,

     From your posts, I assume you want to display the data in EPSG:3857 to
allow overlaying your data on to Google/Bing/Yahoo map layers?  And your
data is currently stored in NAD_1983_StatePlane_Missouri_West_FIPS_2403_
**Feet** which (according to SpatialReference) is not defined by EPSG, but
is defined by ESRI.  
EPSG does define the State Plane zone with units of meters, EPSG:26998, but
that won't help.

So the only part of the configuration that needs to define the State plane
zone is in the LAYER's PROJECTION object (it specifies the coordinate system
of the source data).  The MAP's PROJECTION object needs to define the target
coordinate system (EPSG:3857) as mapserver will handle the re-projection
from the source system to the target system.  And the GeoMoose needs only to
be configured for EPSG:3857 since there is no need for it to know about the
coordinate system of the source data.

In your Mapserver map file, the LAYER should have

LAYER
     PROJECTION
         'init=esri:102698'
     END

(note the esri, not epsg as the defining authority).  And the MAP object
should have

MAP
     PROJECTION
         'init=epsg:3857'
     END

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
