Los Angeles, Nov. l2.-L. G. Dickinson
eight years ago was manager of some
mining property at Commonwealth, Wis.
There was a strike OF miners employed by
him, 10 which Dickinson came out best,
and the strikers swore vengeance. A
few days after the strike was settled-in the
Spring OF 1SSl-Dickinson's six year-oli
boy Willie did not return home from
school, and the miners were suspected of
having IN sde way with him. Since that
day his parents have never set eyes on
their child. The father spent fortune In
trying to discover The boys whereabouts.
Plnkerton's detective agency vas en-
listed in the search and standing reward
of $1,000 was offered for knowledge of the
boys whereabouts.
About two weeks ago a bright, intelli
gent lad was found roaming around East
Los Angeles by a policeman, who took
him TO The Boys and Girls Home. The
boy told strange tale He said his name
was Willie w. Dickinson that about six
or seven years ago strangers took him from
his home TO Chicago, where he was sban-
doned on the streets. He fell in with
other Boys and made a living selling pa
pers and backing boots till 1883, when he
rode 10 Sacramento on a brake beam.
Since bis arrival in California he has
fallen in with horse Jockeys, who
took him round to { IRIS with them. When
he reached Los Angeles he concluded TO
remain. A week ago the chief of police
sent letter to the Chicago chief of police,
relating the boys story, aud to-day be re-
ceived the answer which tells the story of
the abduction and incloses photograph of
the missing by, which tallies exactly with
the features of the boy here. The chief of
police has informed the father, who now

CoIeman's C,reular.

State superintendent w. E. Cole
man, of The public schools, hos issued
thief flowing circular.suggesting to the
school teachers of the state an appro-
pirate way of observing Thanksgiv-
ing day.
There are, in nearly every school
district in the state, poor children
whom assistance would greatly bene-
fit, and whose hearts would be made
lighter upon the reception of a small
donation from their schOolmates.
Let each schoOl-Ihat feels so in.
clined provide a "donaiion party"
on Thursday, November Is, at such
an hour as may suit the school; and
let the teacher, or a committee of
three, take charge of. arrange and
conduct the proceedings for the best
interest for those whom it is desired
to benefit.
Arrange for literary exercises
giving the "Origin and His, ory OF
Thanksgiving Day in the United
States" 1.-The Prosperity of Our
Country" "a Review of the Last
Year. THE Good We Can Do
Today" etc., etc. Label all parcels
and after the literary exercises are
completed make the donations. "Re-
member the poor and needy child
rem"
All donations should be made with
special reference to assisting the
children in their regular attendance
at sclool this winter.
Try to supply each needy child
with the articles necessary to its CON-
fcrt and progress. in the following
order;
First-Text books.
Stcond-School supplies.
Tbird-Hats, shoes. clothing and
wraps.
Fourth-Provision.
Fifth-GOod literature for home
reading.
Do not mistake the true intent of
these donations /; it is TO assist the
poor children only, that they may at
tend school this winter without hard
ship or embarrassment. You can
make presents to your frien1s Christ
mas or some other time this is not
for that purpose.
The children should do the work
themselves they will enjoy such a
mission of mercy and charity. Pa
rents and friends should encourage
and assist the more fortunate in their
laudable endeavor. Some can donate
text books, some pens, pencils, ink
or paper others clothing or provi-
sions, and still others gcod literature.
Teachers, parents and children,
take hold of this matter in earnest.
Many a poor child returned home last
Thanksgiving day with a glad heart,
having been kindly remembered by
scboolmates or friends on that first
Thanksgiving day, observed in this
manner in Missouri.
Many poor children now out of
school, can be brought into school this
winter and kept there by few acts Of
kindness.
Let every school that carries out
this programme, report to this office
by December 10.
That many a poor child may have
cause to be thankful on Thanksgiving
day this year, for favors and kindness
shown by the children of their school
district, is my sincere desire. and the
only reason for inaugurating this
movement. Yours truly,
w. f. COLEMAN,
State superintendent of public schools.
