DR.. and Mrs. C. M. Jones re-
turned last Friday afternoon
from St. Louis, where they took
in the big centennial doings.
The doctor was royalty enter
tanned while in the city, and re-
ceived considerable newspaper
mention as being one of the best
boosting mayors in the west.
Each one of the visiting mayors,
and there were 438 of them, was
looked after by a committeeman
who had nothing else to do, and
it was the pleasure of Mayor
Jones to have a perfect gentleman
for his committeeman, DR.. E. E.
Kurtzeborn. The mayors had
two or three banquets during the
week, were guests of honor
everywhere, occupied prominent
places during the naval parade
ON the Mississippi river, had
tickets to the Yelled Prophets
ball, had telephone, street Car
and telegraph franks, and had a
good time generally.
st. Louis entertained perhaps
half a million strangers last
week, and did a mighty good
job of it, too.
Speaking of a committeeman
for each mayor, the Post Dis
patch tells pretty good one on
DR.. Kurtzeborn, and the queer
part of it is that it is true. The
story follows:
when DR.. E. E. Kurtzeborn,
detailed to meet Mayor Charles
M. Jones of Baxter Springs,
Kan, arrived at the Union Sta
ton and saw the crowd there
Monday morning, he decided
that the only way to find Mayor
Jones, whom he did not know by
sight, was to page him."
He asked the aid of the gate
keeper and as the passengers
from the train on which Mayor
Jones was expected hurried
through the gate the gatemau
shouted, as bell boys shout in
hotel corridors, Mr.. JOnes-Mr.
Jones"
Nine men rushed up to him
and said they were Mr.. Jones.
The reception committee of one
said it. was Mayor" and not
Mister" Jones he wanted. None
of the nine was a mayor, so the
gateman took up the cry, Mayor
Jones-Mayor Jones'" A mo-
ment later Mayor Jones appeared
and answered the call"
The Yelled Prophet parade, of
course, was a nice affair, but it
did not compare a little bit with
the Priests of Pallas parade in
Kansas City. It never does.
But the Industrial parade on
Thursday was a fine one, and
well illustrated the industrial
life of St. Louis. The city has
made many strides in the past
few years, but it is the honest
opinion of your humble servant
that better work could be done in
the way of keeping the city
cleaner and more sanitary.
Centennial week in st. Louis
was a big thing for the city,
however, and we do not even
imagine anybody who contribu-
ted to the expense of the affair
failed to make it back many
times over.
