At $50 p. m. last Sunday the
Grand Opera House, OF Market street,
between Fifth and Sixth streets, St.
Louis, burned, entailing a loss of
from 1928, 900 to $4,000. The fire
broke out in the front part of the
basement, assembled by the stairways
to the roof and thence spread all
over the building and in the course
of three hours the beautiful theater
with its handsome decorations, valu-
able machinery. scenery and effects
was a mass of ruins, nothing being
left but the bare walls and one of
them Partially destroyed. The Nat
Goodwin company was to open that
night and all of their baggage was in
the house, but the fire starting in the
front part of the building gave the
company ample time and they saved
all of their property. John W. Nor
ton, manager, was not so fortunate,
however, and his entire personal
wardrobe and valuable actors library
being in the front part OF the build

Charming Mexico Girls.

Saturday evening last was one of
unbounded merriment at the resi-
dence of Geo. II. Stier, made so in
honor of Misses Lucy and Stella
Dingle, two charming and dashing
young ladies of Mexico, who are in
Moberly for a short time. Miss
Stella is en- route for Woodland,
California, where she will remain for
an unlimited time, while Miss Lucy
will, for a time, enjoy the pleasures
afforded in the social sphere of the
Magic City. The evening was in
deed pleasant for more than one
reason. Mr.. Sitter and family, the
chaperones of the hour, furnished
abundant refreshments of a delicate
and substantial quality, and all
hearts were made glad and light.
The Misses Dingle are as charming
as they are pretty, and when they
leave it is minated that several mas
culine hearts will follow.-Moberly

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REP.
RESENTATIYES.

Il is very important that the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives should be a man of experience
with the rules and usages which gov
ern deliberative bodies, and that he
should be a man of culture, educa-
ton, ability and one who would COM
mand the respect of the entire gen.
eral assembly. Such a man is Hon.
w. III. KEENAN,, the member from
Audrain. The legislature will be
composed mostly of new members
and we do not know of a single old
member whose name is being pre-
sented by his friends for this i'm
portant position. If this honor Is to
fall to a new member the LEDGER in
sists that no man is better fitted Or
nor worthy than Mr. KEENAN,. He
is perfectly at home in the chair,
having presided at all of our large
county and district conventions with
perfect satisfaction. He is perfectly
familiar with all the ~intricacies OF
parliamentary usage and represents
one-ui the banner counties in the
state. All who know him know tina,
he would fill this trust as he does al
others given to him, with signal fdel
ity and ability, and with both honor
to himself and credit to his party
which he loves and for which he
would sacrifice all personal ends.

The Mexico LEDGER says ''the
Sedalia DEMOCRAT still tries to keep
up ill feeling between the friends Of
Crittenden and Marmaduke." There
Is not a word of truth in the asser-
ton. The DEMOCRAT not only is not
still trying to keep up i'll feeling, but
it has never tried to, in any manner
whatever. As a matter of fact, we
do not care one f~arthing whether
there be good feeling or i'll feeling
between Gen. Marmaduke and Gov.
Critttenden. Certainly the LEDGER
cannot find a single sentence in the
DEMOCRAT that would be used as q
basis for It's untruthful assertion
