MAYOR POTTER's PETARD.

The report to the common council
last night. of the joint special commit
tee on terminal facilities on the message
of Mayor Potter on that subject, was
calm, dignified and to the point.
The committee reviewed briefly the
history of the movement to secure i'm
proved railway terminals in this city,
the negotiations with the railroads. the
causes of delay, and finally gave sue
cinct statement of what had been ac-
complished.
II the formal report ignored the fact
that the committee had been placed in
false light before the people by the
mayor in his message, the chairman,
Mr.. Vaughan, did not allow the matter
to 60 without comment and criticism.
Mr.. Vaughan rightly assumed that
the mayor had sought to give the I'M
preston that information was withheld
from him, and that he had been cava-
lierly treated by the committee when
he sought to obtain it.
Facts are stubborn things, and Mr..
Vaughan dealt only with facts when he
told the common council, in the pres
ence Of the mayor, that the latter had
been invited to every one Of the twenty
meetings held since the inauguration of
the present city government, and had
attended but three.
Moreover, he declared thut subsequent
to the presentation of the message he
called on the mayor, who, in the pres
ence of five gentlemen, admitted he had
never sought any information from the
chairman or any member Of the CON-
mittee.
That Mr.. Vaughan's statement was
true is evident from the fact that the
mayor, who had been invited to correct
him in case he made any error, di6 not
do so.
Few men occupying such position as
that which Mr.. Potter now fills would
care to meet such an arraignment.
Even those most charitably dis
posed towards him must recognize
that he has laid himself open to the
charge Of using an important public
matter as political plaything, and has,
without warrant or justification,
sought to discredit men who
have labored zealously in the
interests Of the city, and whose
honorable records as public servants
should have protected them from the
shafts of one who since he has filed the
Office Of chief executive has done little to
prove the wisdom Of his choice.
One thing was clearly demonstrated
last night, that ia spite Of his pretended
interest in the terminal facilities inn
provement the mayor is, in fact, very
little concerned about II. A mayor who
has been invited to twenty meetings aud
attends but three need not hope TO con-
vince thinking people that his interest
Is of that great and absorbing character
indicated by Mayor Potter's proclsms-
tion on terminal facilities.

The Power OF Gold.

Keiths Opera House was crowded last
evening at the initial performance
OF ''The Power of Geld. u The
play Is melodrama OF a
by no means unknown type
resembling the "Lighis OF London" and
other piece Of q kindred nature. 1t deals
with a faithless wife. whose perfdy
changes her loving husband into the des-
perate criminal. following her from one
part or the world TO another
to obtain his revenge. The transition
from the African diamond fields
to England for the purpose OF killing her,
the intrigues OF the inscriptions adven-
turess herself. her employment OF the
East Indian physician who bee ,mes a
willing tool through the power OF
avarice and the love of gold, and the
incarceration OF an innocent person in a
lunatic asylum give In brief the skeleton
of the play around which is built up
scenes and Incidents to clothe IL with the
proper interest Interesting, intensely
realistic. the vein OF comedy
running through 1t, relieves it
Of much of the tension
that otherwise would grow wearisome.

Following his ideas with closeness that
leaves nothing to the imagination he
portrays this character so faithfully that
after the play Is over one can hardly
realize that It was only play and that

was only a creation OF the actors art.

Frederick L. Longan Dies at
His Home at Houstonia
This Morning.

Frederick l.. Longan. an old and
prominent resident of Houstonia, died
early this morning. His death was
due to paralysis. The funeral will
take place at 2 p. M, Saturday, at
the family burial grounds near Hous-
tonia.
The deceased was born in Boonville
nearly Il years ago. He moved to
Pettis county about 1857. He
was most successful farmer
and stock raiser and at the
time of his death was the possessor of
400 acres of fine lands near Houstonia.
For the past few years he has resided
in Houstonia with his sons, who are
prominent business men of that place.
Besides an aged wife, Mr.. Longan
leaves four sons to mourn his death.
The sons are: W. F., cashier Hous-
tonia bank; II. A.. druggist and
postmaster; ID. f. and J. C., dry
goo s merchants and grain and stock
dealers. He was an uncle of Hon.
George F. Longan of this city.
Mr.. Longan was man held in
very high esteem by his acquaintance,
who are legion both in Pettis and
Cooper counties and it will he with a
pang of deep sorrow that they will
learn of his demise.
