Ancient Hotel Register.

A most curious contribution to Mis-
souri, history has been presented to
the State Historical Society of Mis-
souri, by o. A. Keucklehan Of Lamine,
Cooper county, through Frank E. Lion
berger of Boonville. 1t is the register
of the City Hotel at Boonville for the
years 1S43 and 1874. The City Hotel,
now destroyed was at that time the
chief hotel of central Missouri. The
register contains the signatures of
many of the most prominent Mis-,
sourians of the time. Different from
the hotel registers of modern days,
this record of the hotel of the three.
quarters Of a century agb gives the
names of the hotel guests, the number
of their room and hour of their ar
rival at the hotel, their place of resi-
dence, and, in separate columns, their
destination and remarks upon the
weather, politics and local events, or
comments written by the guests them
selves. These additions to the mere
record of names and addresses give
to the register a peculiar historical
value beyond that possessed by hotel
records of the present time. The
register contains also the names Of
the steamers on the Missouri river, the
hours of their arrival at Boonville,
then a great river shipping point, to-
gether with the number of passen.
