and every one who could afford it,
had a big dinner. All the theatres
gave matinees and as the attractions
were good, the performances were
well attended.
In spite of the attempts to make a
New st. Louis la Chicago, the
old time social and hospitable char
acteristics of the grand old Mound
City are well maintained and we all
enjoy holiday as fully as did
the old time Spanish and French
founders of the great city of
the Mississippi valley and the Future
Great inland city of the world.
Cosmopolitan As is our population,

in de -ree that make life worth liv-
ing. We all work hard, but, thank
heaven, all of Us are conscientious adj
herents of the trueism that all work
and no play makes Jack dull boy
We all know that life is real, life is
earnest, but at the same, we don't be-
lieve in making it tread-mill.
That's the reason that st. Louis is
about the best city in the world for a
sensible man to live in.
The much talked of electric railway
between St. Louis and Chicago, made
possible by the inventive genius, DIR.
Wellington Adams, of st. Louis, will
be an accomplished fact and a world
astonishing reality within a year. The
right of way has been secured, and ar
rangements to procure the necessary
funds are almost complete. The re-
storation of Jefferson Barracks to its
former prominence among the mill
tary posts of the United States is also
assured. General +. A. Carr, who,
in his youth had the good fortune to
marry a st. Louis girl, and is regarded
as a good st. Louisan, was appointed
by the war department to examine
and report upon the condition of the
barracks and its importance and fit
ness
As A MILITARY POST
and he has done his duty so well,
that this famous post, which was the
post graduate school of the best Off
GERS in the L. S. army, will be placed
on footing worthy its record.
The war between the apothecarles
combine and anti-combine, goes mer-
rily on and the prospect is that in
few days, physic will be thrown to the
dogs, in fact, it will become as cheap
as it is nasty.
Talking about physic reminds me to
say that twO-tbirds of the talk in the
st. Louis newspapers about typhoid
fever is rot. There are a good MANY
cases and some fatal ones. but the dis
ease is not epidemic nor is it likely to
become so. The attempt on the part
of sensational penny a liners and ig-
norant but ambitious city officials to
make capital out of it, is an
OUTRAGE UPON TRUTH AND DECENCY.
The sensations ought to be created
out of the suit of one Barton, a tool of
the notorious ShylOck Bette against |
City Treasurer Foerstel on certain
notes aggregating $1,000, falls
fiat. FOerstel declares his
on the notes a forgery.
l happen to know Barton, Vette
and Foerstel passing well. l have no
love for Foerstel, for he is most un-
compromising republican, but he is a
paragon of all that is pure, honest and
noble compared to the men who are
trying to down him. Foersters rec
ord in everything but politics is unim-
peachable and l believe he is as hon.
st a politician as republican can be. /
