 HEAVILY IN KANSAS CITY.
Scenery, Wardrobes, Etc, Valued at 25,o0O, With No Fire Protec-
 ton-Date Cancelled.

Walker Whiteside. who has many friends in this city, and who was to appear in this city with his large company on February ,, has cancell- ed his engagement here, owing to his recent misfortune. His scenery, Wardrobes and the other possessions of the company were complete losses in the fire, which destroyed the Coates Opera House in Kansas City Thursday night. Almost every seat in the new opera house had been taken for Whiteside's performance, and he would have undoubtedly re- ceiyed a big reception here. Mana ger Holland says those holding tick cts can get their money refunded Mr. Whiteside's loss was a heavy one, as he carried absolutely no fire protection. His loss is estimated at s25 ,oo0 Mr. Whites.Sc lost in addi= ton to his trunks and properties sev- eral valuable m@nrscripts of plays that were to have been produced shortly.

 The concatenation was called to order at the K of P. Hall over the Bank of Pine Bluff at an early hour Saturday evening.
 After selecting officers to conduct the limitations, the eighteen annli. eants for membership were chained together. blindfolded and marched through the downtown streets fol lowed by a crowd of enthusiastic Hoo Hoos, whose college vells,' warned all in hearing distance. that the Hoo Hoos held full sway and were gong to "concatenate" that very night. They later repaired te the Elks hall, where the eighteen
 anfortunates' were put through and shown the inside working of that popular organization. The init. latlon ceremonies lasted several hours after which the members re- paired to the Merchants Cafe. where they enjoyed an elegant han. duet which had been spread for them The menu was an elaborate and de- licluos affair and was hugely enjoy ed
