Have Had to Be Enlarged.

Join With ST. Louis In a Mon
ster Demonstration Sept. 8.

st. Louis, Aug. 20.-The prepara-
lions which were under way for the
Labor day celebration on the Worlds
fair grounds. September S, have proven
to be inadequate for the occasion. The

King, Of the Building Trades Council
OF st. Louis, has been appointed grand
marshal of the parade. He has been
compelled to add eight divisions to
the parade already decided upon, and
make nine divisions, to include the
buildings trades councils of East st.
Louis and vicinity. At a recent meet
ing of the East st. Louis council it
was unanimously decided to hold the
entire East st. Louis Labor day cele-
bration on the exposition grounds, and
to participate in the parade and other
events arranged for the day. Mr.. T.
d. Wyant was appointed chairman OF
the Labor day committee, and is CO.

committee, of which. Mr.. r. M. Baker
is chairman. Mr.. Wyant guarantees
that the East st. Louis division will
contain at least $500 men.
Mr.. King during the past few days
has sent out formal entry blanks for
the twelfth annual meeting of the
building trades councils on Labor day.
For the special accommodation OF
members of labor unions and their
families, the director of works has
given orders. to prepare suitable pic
mic grounds in the southern portion
of the exposition groundsi, immediate

equipped with tables and chairs, and a
number of barrels filled with ice water,
all of which will be placed at v

ANTONIO MANNING
HAS BEEN FOUND
The kidnapped Italian Boy Restored
to His Parents in Brooklyn.
POLICE SOMEWHAT PUZZLED
SalvatOr ManniniO, the Boys Uncle,
Under Arrest, and the Parents
Believed to BE Holding
Back Information.

New York, Aug. 20.-Antonio Man
nino, the ~ten-year-old Brooklyn boy
who was thought to have been kid
mapped by members Of the Italian
Black Hand society, was found at 10
minutes past IL o'clock Friday morn
ing In Columbia street, three blocks
from his home. He was found by his
uncle, Salvatore Mannino. When the
boys parents saw the lad brought
home by the uncle, his father tainted
and remained unconscious for some
time. Mrs. Mannino became hysteric-
al.
Salvatore Mannino Immediately noti-
fed the police of the Amity Street sta
ton, and Antonio was taken to the
station and closely questioned. He
said that ever since he had been taken
away he had lived in a large house,
the location of which he did not know.
There was a lady there" he said,
"and she had a baby named Judy, and
she lived on the top floor. Every night
l slept with a man hat had whiskers.
The house where they lived seemed
to be in the country
The rest of the body's story vas not
clear, and in several particulars he
c~ontradicted himself. He was clean
and looked as if he had received the
best of treatment. The police were
not able to gain from his story any
intimation as to who the men were
that brought him home or who took
him to the house where he was kept,
and finally the boy was sent back to
his parents.
Salvatore Mannino, the uncle, who
is unable to speak English, was ar
rested and charged with the abduc-
ton. The boys father refused to make
any complaint against him.
A theory advanced by the police is
that Mannino was kidnapped by his own
relatives, and that the parents and
the boy were threatened with death if
the boy told all he knew. This is
thought to have been the elder Man
nino's reason for silencing the lad
while he was being questioned, and
is also thought to account for the
boys state of terlsr and dread of i'm
pending danger. 1t is known that the
boys father has not furnished all the
facts possible to the police, and has
not given all the assistance to find the
boy that was possible for him to do.
At the police station young Man.
nino identified Manuel Cucozza, the
boy who was first arrested in the case,
as the one who took him to Manhat-
tan, after giving him money. Cucozza,
when he heard the lad accused him,
sprang for the child, and Mannino
shrieked with terror. Cucozza was
seized by policemen and returned to
his cell. while young Mannino was al
lowed to go with his parents.

AS EASY.

The food of childhood often decides
whether one is to grow up well nour-

from improper food.

A wise physician like the Denver
Doctor who knew about food, can ac-
complish wonders, provided the patient
is willing to help and will eat only
proper food.
Speaking of this case the Mother said
her little four-year-old boy was suffer-
ing from a peculiar arrangement of the
stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet
became so swollen he couldn't take a
step. "We called a Doctor who said
at once we must be very careful as to
his diet, as improper food was the
only cause of his sickness Sugar espe-
eially, he forbid.

principal food he prescribed was Grape
Nuts and the boy, who was very fond

NORTH ST. LOUIS
is STORM SWEPT
Tornado Does Considerable Damage
in Worlds Fair City.
SCORES WERE INJURED
IHssri
Many Houses Were UnrOOfed, Build
inss Blown Down, and telegraph,
Telephone and Street Chr Sery-
ice BADLY Crippled.

st. Louis, Aug. 20.-Two men killed
and twenty or persons were in
jured in a severe storm which descend
ed suddenly and almost without warn
ing on a small section of North St
Louis shortly after three O'Clock Fri
day afternoon.
One man was killed and 20 injured
at Madison, III.
The storm spent most of its fury on
North Broadway, in the vicinity of
Fair street, from 1900 to 370G. The
storm seemed to dip down out the
clouds which had been hanging over
that part of the city.
1t came in the form OF a spiral tow
er, whirling forward with great force
and damaging everything directly in
it's path.
Telegraph poles for a distance of five
blocks on Broadway were moved down
one after another as weeds before a
scythe.
Roofs were blown from houses. Troll
ley and feed wires and smaller wires
were blown down. Trees were up
rooted.
The air was filled with flying tim
bers and splinters and with debris and
dust. The people were stricken with
terror. AS many as had time sought
shelter in cellars.
The storm passed almost as quickly
as it came, leaving the people dazed
from the s%uddenness of the attack OF
the elements.
After traversing Broadway for five
blocks, the storm cloud turned east
ward, and, after doing considerable
damage between Broadway and the riv-
err, leaped across to Madison. Its gen.
eral direction was northwest to south
east.
A part of the roof was blown from
the factory of the Buck Stove & Range
Co.
Six persons were injured at the
Neidringhaus plant at Second and Des-
trehan streets. A large smoke stack
blew down and crashed through the
roof into Il workroom. where a Large
number of men we're at work.
The boiler, house of a large foundry
a block east Of Broadway was de-
stroyed.
Sun ShOne Elsewhere.
While the storm was whirling
through North st. Louis the sun was
shining in the central part of the city,
in West and South st. Louis and at the
Worlds fair. Nobody in any Of the
other parts of the city knew that there
was a storm in North st. Louis.
Reports from surrounding towns, in
Guiding Venice, Granite City, Madison
and Brooklyn, ILL.,, north of East St.
Louis, and on the other side of the
river from North st. Louis, indicate
that they received the very worst OF
the cyclone.
According to what seems at this
time to be perfectly accurate reports,
four persons have been killed.
The wife of the chief of the police
of the town of Venice was one of the
quartet which lost their lives.
In all the towns named, a number Of
barns and outhouses were demolished.
1t was reported on the wires that the
total number of injuries, including ia
talities and slight wounds, throughout.
southern Illinois, as the result of the
cyclone, is 100.
b Many rural districts have not been
heard from as yet. and the prospect is
that this total will be sadly increased
when all reports are in.
