THE OPERA HOUSE BOOM
was duly instituted last night at the ele-
CANT music parlors of Capt. Allen. An as
sembly of prominent citizens including
senator's, Representatives, judges, col
onels, captains and corporals, was held to
perfect plan upon which to conduct the
opening ceremonies, in order to make them
an undisputed and popular success. The
BAzOO was one of the council of state.
Numerous gentlemen, including several
who had attended similar affairs at Rich
Hill, Rutler and other prominent places,
were on hand. to lend their advice to the
perplexed questions which came up for de
liberation. Capt j. E. Harding. the well
known banker, was called upon to preside,
and s 5. Sherman, former Sedalian, but
at present business man of Nevada. was
henored with the distinguished office OF
secretary. The president changed from the
sofa TO coy rocking chair, and the score
iary sharpened his pencil ready to do the
official recording.
Judge Burton, Col. Stone, Capt Moore.

MADE neat little speeches in favor of max.
gaiety, splender, grandeur and happiness,
such as has never been witnessed in this
region. 1t was decided that
the best way to entertain the visiting dele |
cations was to give them special nights, as
the rush would be too great and the pleas |
IRE too limited were they ali to come al |
one time. Nevada, by the way, wants to !
ill up every body with pleasant reminis-
cences OF the affair, hence she wisely de-
rided to divide her programme, asking
Rich Hill, Butler, Harrisonville and Fort /
Scott to come on Thursday evening, March |
lst, and Sedalia, Clinton. Appleton City,
carthage, Lamar and Schell City ON Mon
