Where Was the Committed
LEO. ]. KLEB,
Notary Public.

There was an impressive demon
stration in st. louis Thursday when
the steamer Quincy, of the Streck-
fuss line, departed on its initial trip
to New Orleans, reyiving river traffic
fic between the two cities after it hat
been dormant for more than ifteer
years
The handsome new boat had fifty
five passengers and 500 tons of mis-
cellaneous freight or board, and
when the signal to start was giver
BY the pilot, there was blowing o.
whistles and waving Of flags BY sew
eral hundred persons assembled or
the levee and Fades bridge.
The departure of the boat was 9
matter of extreme Importance not
only to St. Louisans. but to the resi-
dents on Illinois side of the big riv-
er-so important to all that Gov
ernors Deneen and Hadley, and the
mayors of both st. Louis and East st
Louis sent messages to speed the
craft on its way.
The boat arrived in the Cairo port
Friday morning, and with the excep-
ton Of few roustabouts, no one was
present to receive its crew
"Say, boss, dat shore am a fine
boat, you all is got" shouted a
woolly-headed negro at the captain
"Dat shore am some boat
This was the way Cairo received
the captain and his crew and the
contrast surely must have been great
in his mind,
The boat departed after remainin'
in port for about an hour, and so fal
as could be ascertained. the crew
went on it's way, unentertained ant
chagrined.
When the steamer reaches New Or
leans there will be another imprs
sive ceremony in honor of the crew
Bells will be rung, bags VIII be wave
and salutes will be fired Pcrha
by this time the captain and his GREY
will have forgotten the most painful
incident OF the trip--the stop a

of cities and 1t Is to be regretted tina
