OLD DISTRICT SCHOOL.
A Charming Entertainment Given
at Oak Park

AT the Baptist Chapel in Oak Park
an amateur performance known as the
"Old Fashioned District School, was
participated in the affair We're for the
most part connected with the Sunday
School of the Westminster Presbyterian
Church. 1t was given for the benefit
Of the Sunday School OF that church,
and also of the Baptist Chapel.
Mrs. Frank Valentine acted as
teacher. The pupils of the school were
seated upon the platform, and their
amusing antics and peculiar costumes
occasioned great and constant laughter
to pervade the large audience.
Recitations were held in geography
and other branches. Several of the
scholars read compositions and spoke
pieces in the old-fashioned way. The
scholars Of this promising school were
Miss Bessie Jackson, Miss Helen Carle,
Mrs, Green, Mrs. ]. H. Liggett, Miss
May Humphrey, Messrs. James A. Laid
law, Frank Valentine, and Fred West
phal.
The people who attended seemed to be
we'll pleased with the District School
performance. There were several other
excellent features on the program,
among them being solos by Mesdames
McClain and Magray, a humorous sell
ect reading by Miss Fannie Campbell,
and a recitation by Miss Bessie Jack
son that are deserving special mention.
W. c. McNeely acted as chairman, and
gracefully introduced those who took
part in the exercises.

RUMORED CHANGES.
Detectives Ma1ey and Fisher May
Be Placed on Regular Beats.

It has been rumored on the streets
for two or three days that Mayor Land
wants Chief of Police Dwyer to trans
fer Officers Maley and Fisher from the
detective work on which they have been
for some time engaged, and in which
they have done SO much good work,
to put them on regular beats and de-
tail certain other officers for detective
work.
The police force, as at present or
ganized, has been a most efficient one.
and criminals are disposed to give this
city a wide berth on account of the
number that have been captured and
convicted within the past year or two.
The two officers named did most ef-
fective work in the arrest of Leroy
and Searight within a few hours of
the shooting of E. j. Croly, and have
done equally good work since in other
lines, and have become a terror TO
petit larceny thieves. The Legislature
is about to convene, and at such times
many criminals gather here to enjoy
the extra chances of turning a trick.
The Chief Of Police is necessarily,
by virtue of his office and his daily
acquaintance, through the reports of
his officers, familiar with what is going
on in the city, and best qualified to
judge as to the proper disposition to
make of his force He should, there
fore, have full control of it, and not
be hampered by outside influences in
detailing them to the positions where
he thinks they would be the most use
full. 1t seems the hight of unwisdom,
therefore, to dictate changes to him at
this time, or otherwise hamper his
freedom Of judgment

INAUGURAL BALL.
Date Will Probably Be Changed
to January 9th,

1t seems decidedly probable that the
date for holding the inaugural ball
will be changed from January 10th,
the date agreed upon by the Inaugural
Ball General Committee, to January
9th.
There is to be a United States Sem
ator elected, and the statute governing s
the matter provides that a ballot must
be taken on the second Tuesday after
the first Tuesday Of the session, which
in the present instance means that
the first ballot must be taken on jan
uary 18th, the day after the night
fixed for holding the ball.
The committee in it's deliberations
seems to have overlooked the fact that
for several days preceding the election
of a United States Senator, and par
ticularly the night before, Legislators
have a habit of caucusing in order to
determine beforehand which way the
cat shall jump.
Judge E. G. Hart was in San Fran
cisco yesterday, and while there had q
conversation with several of the mem
bers of the Republican State Central
Committee in the course Of which they
urged, for the reason already stated.
that the date for the ball be changed
to the 9th of January.
Judge Hart telegraphed to Mayor
Land the objections made and the sug-
gestion urged by the State Central
Committee, and the latter will at once
call a meeting of the General Commit
tee to either accept or reject the sug-
gestiOn.
Judge Hart was seen by a Record
Union reporter on his return from San
Francisco last night. He said he
agreed with the State Central Com
mitteemen that the date for holding
the ball ought to be changed to the
9th.
Such a change would cause some
confusion, as a considerable number
of invitations have already been sent
out, naming January 10th as the date
of the ball. Some printing has also
been done, giving the date as the 10th,
but it is believed that all necessary
explanations can be made in time 20
avoid any unpleasant consequences.

STATE PRINTING OFFICE.
It's Operation Depends Wholly OF
the Legislature.

In response to an inquiry by State
Printer Johnston the law firm of Devlin
d Devlin have given the opinion that
the State Board Of Examiners has no
authority in the matter of permitting
the State Printing Office to be operated
pending the meeting of the Legisla-
ture.
In this particular matter" say the
lawyers, ''if the Board of Examiners
thinks the expense should be incurred,
you will have to take the chances Of the
coming Legislature agreeing with the
Board of Examiners, and passing an
Appropriation bill to pay the indebted
ness. The Legislature has the legal
right to disagree with the Board and
refuse to pay

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BOD
The Result of the Imperfect Digestion o
Food.

Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death Called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse weakness.
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is a heavy.
sodden mass which ferments fhe first
process of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking in
red corpuscles; poisoning the brain,
causing headaches and pain in the eyes
Bad digestion irritates the heart.
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is SO because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stom-
ach alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in
weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a. sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible rem
edy in all cases of Indigestion is to take
after each meal, one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they sup
ply in a pleasant, harmless form all
the elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuart's Dyspep-
sa Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear
complexion. because all these result
only from wholesome food well digested
