THURSDAY MORNING -
SECOND SEDALIA FIRE
IN SHORT TIME

The home Of Mrs. Carrie Hines,
located at the north edge of Sedala,
was burned to the ground shortly
after midnight Wednesday in blaze
that nearly cost the lives of Mrs.
Hines and her son Robert, aged 16
years.
The fire was discovered by Mrs
Hines and her son and the house was
filled with smoke and fire to such
an extent that they were forced to
make their escape through window.
Mrs. Hines and son called for help,
the youth running to the neighbors
in his night clothes, and help was
quickly secured, but the fire burned
SO quickly that the home was in ruins
in less than a half hour after the
fire was discovered.
The London prison farm fire de-
partment made run to the scene,
but the firemen were unable to do
anything except protect surrounding
buildings.
Mrs. Hines and her son were un-
able to save anything from the burn
ing home, both being forced to flee
from the house in their night cloth
ing.
Reports from Sedalia state that
the house was insured.
This marks the second fire in Sc
dalia within a short time, the other
blaze razing one entire business block
including the Sedalia postoffice.

Inc OBSERVATIONS OF MT. MCKEE
are as follows:
VERY satisfactory" is the COM
ment of Archie w. Golfer, manager
of Riverside amusement park, re-
ferring to the season of 1888. The
big fun resort out at Thirtieth
street and White river has finally
closed it's gates after summers
business that was most encouraging
as an omen of returning prosperity
to the nation.
Amusement parks" said Golfer,
"are the first to feel the effects Of
a depression. But they are like
wise the first to sense the swing
toward better times.
I'VE are proud Of the fact that
Riverside was able to present a full
season this summer with none of
its activities curtailed.
MANY of the largest amusement
parks in the country closed their
gates after the Fourth of July.
Others made Labor day their clos
ing date, and in many Of the fun
resorts only a part of the rides and
other fun devices were operated
this year.
In line with its policy of pre-
senting new features each season,
Riverside this summer installed its
motor speedway and a dance palace,
both of which experienced fine
summers business.
Attendance at the skating rink
held up remarkably we'll during the
off season, indicating that the win
ter season, now starting, will be one
of the best in years.
THE trend in amusement park
devices is toward the customer

speedway, motor boats and other
concessions, where the patron can

Open Sale
on Monday
Season to Open Soon With
Rosa PonSeIIe at
EngIiSh'S.

Mrs. Nancy Martens announces
that the season ticket sale for her
series Of five Sunday afternoon con-
certs at English's will close at mid
night tonight and that the sale Of
tickets for each concert will open
Monday.
The music season will begin Sun
day afternoon, Oct. %, at English's
with Rosa Ponselle, prima donna
dramatic soprano Of the Metropol-
itan opera, as the artist.
The heaviest season reservation
Of any season I have had is the
record for this year" Mrs Martens
states. There are many good seats
for all concerts remaining"
Rosa Ponselle is the double sem
sation of both the operate and
concert stages. That she is most
assuredly.
Wrote one of the leading music
critics Of New York: "One must
regret her stay with the Metro
politan Opera Company is so brief.
What price concerts when opera
needs her?"
To which came the quick reply:
$50 that she may thrill the thou
sands throughout the countrys who
are not fortunate enough to be able
TO hear her in New York"
And in spite of the glaring glory
of every grand opera, does it not
seem a shame for a whole company
to spend an evening doing what this

plete and beautiful wrote a lead
ing musical authority who had
heard Miss Ponselle in both con-
certs and opera.
Miss Ponselle admits that she is
torn between a fond and ardent
love for both forms of musical APP
pearances. She is as eager for the
commencement of the am. al Met
ropOlitan opera season as the most
ambitious sophomore quarter back
to get on the gridiron-and she
boards the train for her concert
tours with as much excitement as
the blithest school girl bound for
a picnic.
There are advantages in each
field" Miss Ponselle claims. In
opera, the audience is kept in the
background. Instead of having a
close contact with the people out
front, and being permitted to read
some of the faces and get their re-

Schenck Puts ArIiSs and
Constance Bennett
Under Contract.

Joseph NJ. Schenck's faith In the
future of the motion picture indus
try and his belief that the country
is now fighting it's way out Of the
depression is strikingly exemplified
in the announcement that United
Artists would make twenty feature
pictures in the remaining seven
months of this year.
United Artists departs from its
customary number of releases,
which averaged about twelve a
year. at time when it should prove
of greatest benefit to studio work
erS, the company and the industry
in general.
Schenck's decision means that
United Artists will release over thir-
ty pictures during 1888. an increase
Of almost three times the usual
number made by this company in
years time.
The increased schedule will put
several hundred workers on the
pay roll, and as production grows
the number will have to be in
creased. Thus, United Artists new
plans are in complete sympathy
with President Roosevelt's re-em-
ployment program.

Boys Are
Due Here
Wiener Saengerknaben to
Give Concert at
the Murat.

In the coming of the Weiner
Saengerknaben or Singing Boys OF
Vienna at the Murat Wednesday
night, Nov. %, local music lovers
will hear an organization of singers
that has been in continuous exist
ence over 400 years, having been
founded in Austria in 1893 by the
Emperor Macmillan.
Their performance here will in
clude operettas in costume, choral
works of the great masters and
folksongs of all nations.
The boys of the Saengerknaben,
IL to 18 years Of age, as always, in
the ancient imperial castle, the
Vienna Hofburg, where once Haps-
burg royalty tread its venerable
corridors. Here these boys work and
study. eat, play and sleep.
They pay nothing because they
have dedicated their boyhood to
music. 1t is the dream of countless
thousands of Austrian boys to be
invited to join the Saengerknaben.
But few are called, though many
yearn. Only forty of them are
housed in the castle, after rigid
competitive examinations. Twenty
two of these are in the company
that will perform here, under the
direction of their musical director,
DR.. George Gruber.
When their voices change, an in
evitable event, the choir boys are
assigned to duties about the house,
and are maintained for three years
and future employment secured for
them.
Crowned heads and presidents of
nations have invited and listened
with admiration to these little song
birds in their charming costumes,
white wings and curly chignons.
Recently, His Holiness, Pope Plus
XII, called for them, and after their
performance in the Vatican were
awarded a parchment testimonial
proclaiming their voices 80 flute
like and sweet, like angels voices in
paradise"
Haydn, Schubert, Mozart and
other illustrious composers received
musical training from the Saenger-
knapen institution. Every year they
are invited to sing with the entire
Vienna State Opera and the Vienna
Philharmonic orchestra.
The Wiener Sangerknaben is I'M
der the general management OF
the National Broadcasting Com
pany Artists bureau. The local ap-
pearance is sponsored by the mu-
steal organizations of st. Philip Neri
oratory, which are under the super
vision of Elmer Andrew Steffen. The
