DALLAS, TEX, Oct. 20.-The third
day of the great Texas state fair and
Dallas exposition was ushered in cloudy t,
cool and with some rain, but the threat
ening weather did not keep away the
thousands of school children, who tod ay
were admitted free. The happy little
ones were everywhere. conspicuous by
the happy peals of merriment that con-
tinunlly escaped them. They saw every
thing; the trained horse and the Indians.
Heard the music, saw the sideshows, and
kept the merry-go-rounds busy. To the
children the day was q success, despite
the rain. Badges showed schools from
Piano, Alvord, Fort Worth, Sherman,
Cleburne and many more places. This
was also HMissouri day. and the blue
badges of the thousands of Mlssourians
were seen on every hand. Governor
Francis, who opened the fair on Satur-
day, had to depart for home on last
night, and was not here TO assist his fell
low-statesmen in to-day's exercises.
At Missouri headquarters is q register
that shows hundreds of names OF those
present to-day and from oil over Texas.

artillery company stationed on the

of guns.
