ON STEAMER J. s.

The Streckfus lines new ex-
cursion steamer J. S. finished its
summer season at st. Louis last
Sunday night and is now. enroute
on its tour of the upper MISSISSIPPI

the J. S. has carried many thou
sands of st. Louisans on its daily
family and moonlight excursions,
and the officials of the Streckfus
line are more than pleased with
the manner in which the new ex-
cUrsion palace was received at st.
Louis.
The dancing fans of st. Louis
were loud in their praises for the
Alabama Jazz kings who furnished
the music for the dancing pro-
grams. This new aggregation OF
jazz artists replaced the Peerless
Union jazz band on Aug. l.
Ever mindful of its patrons and
wishing to give them the best
dance music obtainabIe, the Streck-
fus line has arranged for the Ala
bama jazz kings TO accompany the
J. S. on its upriver tour.
Rock Island is included in the
itinerary of the steamer ]. s. for
three observation-disclosures and
evening on Sunday, Aug. "a, and a

of the J. S. at this city this season,
