ST. Louis. June is.-A conference of

THE FIREMEN's CONCERT.
A Large Audience Present at the En-
tertainment Last Night.


A large and appreciative audience
greeted the performers on the rise OF
the curtain last evening at Fishers
Opera House. Miss Kelley at the close
of the entertainment, was the recipient
of the highest praise for her manage
ment of the affair, which afforded
pleasure from the opening number to
the last selection Of the orchestra
Flowers and encores were showered
upon the participants throughout the
performance. The fire laddies and their
bellies were there, and Astoria society
was out in force.
Charming cadences and delightful
harmony made by the mandolin orches-

Kean. as the Darktown swell, carried
the house. "Angeline" was hit.
The audience was carried back to
the old Castilian days by the dancing of
the Misses Sovey and Leberman. Miss
Holden appeared to decided advantage
and her contralto solo demanded a re-
call. TO which she responded with the
child's story in song, Three Little
Lads"
1t goes without saying that Nine,
Finek's solos were par excellent, and
it was with reluctance that the audi
ence allowed her to retire with two
selections. Mrs. ]. T. Ross received
emphatic applause for her solo and heI
second number provoked great enthu,
siasm.
THE jolly Blaeksmiths" by the or
chestra received the appreciation which
it deserved. Miss Clara Dunbar as the

st. Louis convention the Daily News
says:
The important fact is not that Of Nc
Klnley's nomination, which was gem
orally conceded. but that he was com
PEELED to stand on a gold platform. It
shows that the great party which is
now believed TO represent the political
destinies Of the United States has repu-
dated all designs Of tampering with
the currency. It also forces Mr.. Nc
Kinley TO fight rather as a monometal-
list than as a protectionist. The Re

upon their candidate. at least upon
their refusal TO have anything TO do
with mischievous free silver deIusions.

Last Thursday an aunt who lives in
Clay county was passing along road
about a. mile from the cemetery when
she noticed a cuff lying at the roadside.
She picked it up and was startled to
find that the name Of Ralph H. Woods
was written in indelible ink on the in
side.
At once securing aid, the grave was
opened but the body of Woods was
gone. The casket contained only the
shroud. Detectives were placed on the
case and the body was recovered.

police suspicion telephoned Saturday
night to the station to take a wagon
and drive to Union cemetery. They
went out at 3 o'clock Sunday morning
and at the entrance to the cemetery
met negro with a wagon He had

CHICAGO WANTS Ii.
An Effort Making to Have the Chi

Chicago, Aug. 18.-A movement is on
foot among prominent club men of this
city to extend an invitation to Ii Hung
Chang, the Chinese viceroy, to have
him stop over a couple of days in Chi
cago while en- route to the Pacific
coast.
Col NJ. r. Jefferds, c. E. of Shanghai
an American promoter of railroads in
China, has been in town the past few
days and he has helped along the move
ment. In conversation with a reporter
last night, Col. Jefferds said:
L am returning now to perfect the
plans for building the longest railroad
in the empire. a year ago last June
I left London for China, for the purpose
of investigating the needs and pros
poets for railroads there I returned
with the preliminary contract for con-
structing a line of railroad from Pekin
to HankoW, a distance of 700 miles. 1t
will be built largely by foreign capital
Two-thirds of this has been contribut-
ed by the Chinese Merchant compa-
MES, and the other third comes largely
from America. The construction of the
railroad will require a capital of 3,000,-
600 taels A taeI is worth about Y
cents in American money
China has at present only 1872 miles
of railroad owned and operated by the
imperial government"
