The Boonville people were treated
to a musical feast on the night of Sep
TENDER 30, a special notice of which
will probably be published in your pa
per. This concert embraced every
thing necessary to constitute a first
class modest, and refined musical en-
tertainment. The beautiful Misses
Warren made a most favorable inn
preston, and their musical perform
ance was complimented by our most
skilled musicians.
Misses Lizzie Lee and COrinne
Warren are daughters of Samuel
Warren, who, in his lifetime, ranked
As one of the most refined and elegant
business men of Lafayette county,
Mo. He was a man of large property,
much of which was probably lost,
owing to the late unfortunate war.
The Warren family stood among the
most distinguished in all our state du-
ring the ante bsll,m period since then
many have died, among whom was
DIR. Isaac Warren, one of the mer-
chant kings of st. Louis.
The mother of the Misses Warren,
whose maiden name was Miss Sallie
Campbell, was niece of the world
renowned Alexander Campbell, who
gave the original impulse, in the early
part of this century, to the Organiza-
ton of the Christian church in this
country and Europe; she spent much
of her early life in the family of DIR.

cellent education she was also noted
as beautiful singer in her early

A MYSTERIOUS TRUNK.
How an Owner Was Found for
a Piece Of Unclaimed Bag
gage in Cincinnati.
An Interesting Story Related by
a Former HoteI-keeper
Of That City.

Nsu'iH'di rsHquifef.
"About that trunk. Well, yes, it
is a curious story" said James G. Nc
Laughlin to reporter Yesterday.
When / closed out the FlOrentine
hotel three or four years ago, there re-
manned lot of unclaimed baggage in
the store-rOom. Some of it belonged
to men who had jumped their bills
and some was forgotten by owners.
Anyhow, it had accumulated in the
way customary to all hotels. When
the hotel was changed into museum
| had all the baggage moved to my
residence on Baum street. By CORE
spondence and otherwise l found
owners for nearly all of the property.
1t took time, of course. Finally, |
got rid of it all but large, handsome
leather trunk. There was nothing on
the outside that could help toward
Identification, and it was securely
locked. For two years it was the last
piece of the lot, and, after being with
us for not far from four years, it be-
came like one of the family. Some
time ago lock on a valise of mine
got jammed, and I sent for lock
smith. Since he was in the
house l concluded to solve the
mystery of the trunk. He
opered it, and we found two costly
French bonnets that had never been
Worn. They are out of date now.
Then came a couple ofsilk dresses that
experts told me were make by Worth,
of Paris, and cost not a penny less
than $500 each. Then there were a
whole lot of female gimcracks-laces
and such stuii-all of a valuable kind.
Below these, at the bottom of the
trunk, were some mems clothes, and
last of all lady's purse which con-
tanned s17, evidently pocket money
belonging TO the lady. The entire
contents of the trunk were worth
about 5000. Although looked care
fully, there was not a card or scrap of
paper in the box that would help
toward telling the owner. 1 put the
things all back, but went up stairs
next day and turned them out again
on the floor for another hunt. This
time l saw that which l had not
noticed before, the name of George
Tresch, tailor, on the coat. went to
him. He looked at the coat, said he

him if he had no mark on customers
clothes by which he could afterward
identify owners, and he said, Eyes,

inside of a watch-pocket in a pair of
trousers was the name, &C. Sand

Court street. went up there and
said, did you ever lose a package of
any kind ?" and he answered, "No,
not of whisky. But three or four
years ago l was coming back with my
wife from journey, and we lost a big
leather trunk in some way, and, al
though the railroad and baggage men
hunted for the missing baggage, We
never got a trace of it." Said l, "It's
at nv house." He has it now.

Saturday morning, a London correspond

Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice,

stay there for about month, thence pro-
ceedlng TO Osborne, where, as usual. Christ
mas will be spent. During the interval
the Queen will have her customary Satur-
day to Monday guests, including Ministers,
ex-Ministers, and one or two members Of
the Diplomatic Corps. Mr.. Gladstone and
Mrs. Gladstone go to Windsor next week
The Royal party left Balmoral Thursday

Windsor at o o'clock I'm the morning. The
journey might be more swiftly accomplished
If the arrangements were left entirely 10
the railway managers, but her Majesty has
rooted objection 20 travelling at a rate eK
ceedlng thirty miles an hour, that being
express speed when-mOre than forty years
ago-her Majesty made her first railway
journey from Windsor 10 London.
These Royal fittings between Windsor
and Balmoral form a painful experience for
the railway authorities. and are the cause
OF much inconvenience to public trafic ar

IN THE CASE OF VAR.
Germany Would Not Find 1t as Easy to
Overcome France as in 1870.

The German military authorities appar-
entity do not cherish any vain expectations
Of being able 10 cverrun France in the next
war as they did in the last. or OF receiving
any material aid from Austria in the case
or IA war with two fronts against France
and Russia. An inspired article published
recently in the Militar Wochenblatt says:
Germany can only bring a numerical
superiority TO bear aginst the French by
massing the whole Of her forces On her west
front In the case Of war with two fronts
this is simply out Of the question. The Rus
sian army is so superior to that OF Austria
Hungary that Germany must put up part
OF her own army on her eastern frontier,
and then. far from being numerically SUI
perlor to the French, we should be inferior
&c them. even allowing for one-sixth Of
their forces being immobIlized on the Ital
ian frontier. Even II events first took the
same shape as In 1870. few defeats In the
field would no longer Jay the interior Of
France open TO invasion.
THE French would retire behind their
double line Of fortresses and intrenched
camps &c await there the mobilization OF
their second fighting line To attempt to
advance without having taken some OF
those fortresses would be u sheer impos-
slbllity. for without them we should not
have the command OF single railway line,
aud without railway line we could net
transport the provisions and ammunition
upon which a large army Is nowadays more
than ever dependent. Il is, therefore, in-
conceivable that even under favorable con-
ditions any part OF our western forces could
be released al an early date after the cut
break OF hostillties for operations against
Russia.
III may perhaps be argued that in tho
meantime the Italian army will be drawing
near from Tyrol. and that Germany can,
without anxiety. remove a large portion or
her hitherto victorious troops from the
western &c the eastern front. To this we
must reply that primary condition for
this move Is an uninterrupted career Of
victory for our troops. But In the war Of
the future we shall not ind the same
Frenchmcn as In 1870. any moro than
