Show IN GREAT ST at LOUIS con concerning berning the rise nse of tire city of st louis a writer says it is not going too far to say my that the most valuable part of napoleons cession to america lay far beyond the loci locality lity that he had bad beeri most accustomed to look upon as his new world po possessions seest ions to the french mind the territory adja adjacent ceat to new orleans was about abort all of Louisi louisiana anae that was valuable or desirable in ina a vague indefinite way it was known that the country acquired from the spaniards fetched set ched far to th the north but nine mue tenths atit wras was believed to be an irreclaimable wilderness american diplomacy was undoubtedly diluted with a fair share ot of yankee shrewdness shred too while w hile negotiations were pending between the two governments go vern ments else the trifling for fo which louisiana was purchased would have been multiplied multi pHad many fold I 1 st louis was the capital of this magnificent territorial acquisition under the old oid spanish governors the nucleus of a state had been created and under the french the town became the most flourishing trading post north of new orleans hence the idea entertained by some persons that st louis Is a comparatively new town simply because it is is situated on the sundown side of the father of waters is absurd nine years yeam before philadelphia was founded white men trod the soil where SU sk louis now stands twelve years before the die declaration of 0 independence was adopted the preach french were po am 96 ting a splendid tur fur trade with tb the e indians deans this being their headquarters under the te name which the city bears today now there are within the corporate limits limiti souls pierre la clede iguest a merchant of new orleans was the of st louis in 1762 he secured louis banals governor general a charter which gave him control of the fur trade with the indians ot of this region re gion he e came up the he t river and biased the trees to mark the location then returned home and sent back a colony under dundei augste chouteau who found the marked trees built cabins and a storehouse on tho the spot snit and thus st louis was founded the cit city grew and in 1804 became a part of the united states in 1822 ii it received a charter since since which time it has grown into the mighty cosmopolitan city of today how strange to think that in the forties the mormons cormons Mor mons had a city a little farther up the river that then bid fair to outstrip this great metropolis in hi population and renown had fate permitted that people and their city to flourish un pow certainly st louis would have hait certaine taink been but outstripped e in all Nau name implied the beautiful st louis is in the throes of politics kics besides the speakers who come and go the streets are filled with curbstone orators who hammer away at the people antu t the sma wee hours if you pas grants statue about 8 of any evening you caw can see an enthusiast trying to convert a lewd crowd of three or four hundred nien if you pass two hours later your you will see ten little crowds surging to and fro and in the center of eh each croup will be seen two excited excite PO politicians its strange how these meetings always end one man in in the e audience aken e will wil put a j question to the 9 speaker p eaker another r b beside ide him bun will inte interrupt t the e questioner 1 these two will im immediately tely 1 face 4 each other for argument a po portion of the crowd closes around them em and the fun begins the one speaker seems to have suddenly turned into twenty and the sur surging ng crowds might ight easily be taken for incipient riots I 1 recently stopped to listen to a group of arguers and a man approached me and said mr can you give me 5 in fa gold for 5 in silver sher I 1 could not he then went through the whole crowd but without success he said he was so he could not betit get it as he wanted it for an heir town kowl for his granddaughter down the street a little farther a broken window pane announced that it was smashed in a silver ar argument vinent if I 1 went to the recent bryan and cochran meetings and I 1 zah can tell they were wonderful gatherings people under one roof think of it I 1 have often WO wondered why mr bry bryan did not arrange to visit and tak to all of the people of the united states but a little figuring has disco discovered verea the reason to speak to the 70 of people in bunches of only would require talks and if he should speak every night it would keep him busy for upwards up wards often of ten years ears e s but did you ever see an effort egr t made to quiet down yelling yellin people its very funny W why ay at bryans second visit here re the people arose and cheered for ten straight minutes without a pause the chair man shrieked shriek the hammer fell and fell acain again but finally he concluded to do 0 the wise wise efting ih and let them yell such a crowd crowd is like a runaway horse when you cant hold a horse let it run until it cant run any longer when you cadt a crowd let it yell till it can cant it yell bot 1 1 I 1 any more this was how they sti stilled rae d the bryan gatherings A st louis crowd is usually a very unruly alie one at each bachof of the big political meeting hit here much disturbance haboc cu burred some incidents were very amusin amusing 9 for instance I 1 at the first bryan meeting a great uproar was caused by a woman who persisted in standing up itt a chair in the effort to make her sit down a great disturbance arose during which mr bryan waited calmly for peace the people threw paper wads at her called her her mrs lease pleaded with her the whole house screamed but her dander was up finally the man who was A pleading with her turned and sard said to the audience the lady says shell sit alt down it if you let her alone by thas tune time every elvery eye was upon her 20 people howled at her and at last amid a roar th thai a I 1 73 was lei like an earthquake she sat down at bryans next meeting an exuberant democrat insisted on ye yelling ing for the orator it was wag so frequent th the police po I 1 interfered ice se but friends interceded intercedes inter ceded and he was released again he yelled again an attempt was made to drag him out the crowd was in i sy sympathy apathy with him F prevented gre this and placing in his ban hands a banner with bryans picture on it they marched him up aal and down the ais aisles I 1 es to the accompanying screams of the whole audience and so it goesl goes last t night we had tom fitch talk talking aa against st free silver silve silveree rHe he told judge goo goodwins ulf calf story app applying ing it however to the other fellow nobody can tell that i yam successfully sf ully but the judge lf if indications count for anything they point to bryans success in missouri be yond a doubt

train shed covers thirty two pairs pair of track side by side the ahe roof of iron and glass lass measures square squam feet we the station covers an area of 47 square feet four city blocks in length and two in width how do trains get in and out of i the ott city is a question often asked the SU st louisan and his answer is startling for he tells you that the trains pa pass under the city and so it is wesee we see trains leave the depot and suddenly disappear at clark street and the next time aw seb them they are riding through through the i cies of the eads bridge awas was r standing anding
