in" Educational Day at the Ran
dolph County Fair Saturday.
There were about 600 school
children on parade. At least
two. thirds of them were from the
Pocahontas and Maynard schools,
the country districts being very
poorly represented, After the
parade, a short program follow
ed. The program consisted Of
songs by the pupils and a couple
of short talks by visitors. One
room Of the court house had its
walls literally covered with spec
linens Of work done by the pu-
pills. The work was very fine,
but not any better than could be
done by Sharp County pupils.
Why not give our pupils chance
to show what they can do? This
column is open for a discussion
of this subject by any teacher.
Why not let every teacher have
his pupils prepare something for
him to take with him the next
time nc goes to the county seat?
If room cannot be obtained on
the walls Of the court house, I'll
give the room on the walls of the
normal department of the Even
ing Shade school, Here we al
ready have permanent exhibit,
though very few people know it.
This method will enable US to ex.
hibit the work Of our pupils, and
thereby encourage them and al
the same time enable us to COM
pare our work and our pupils
with the work and pupils of other
schools, without the immoral in
fluences that follow a "Fair.
There must have been at least
one dozen gambling stands at

PLANS HERD.


 Announcement that Manager Bunnell Has Consummated Deal With New Workers.
 News was received last evening by George Morton, press agent for the New Haven theater. from Manager G. B. Bunnell, who was in New York yes terday, announcing that the deal be- tween MT. Bunnell and the Klaw and Erlanger so-called theatrical trust had been successfully consummated, and that the syndicate plays will shortly be placed on the boards at the New Haven theater. In fact it is expected that the attractions which will thus be secured for this city will be seen here before the month of October has made its exit.
 The plays will be presented at the New Haven theater with the regular scale of prices charged for these syndl- cate shows elsewhere, and these prices will be duly announced for each attrac- tion. Two and three night stands with regular matinees will be given.
 The Klaw and Erlanger interests con- trol large circuit of theaters and a considerable number of first class at fractions played by stars and excellent companies and these will now be seen in this city. As the Shuberts, who con trol the Hyperion theater, are not in the Erlanger combine, these shows have not appeared at the Hyperion theater, where the Shuberts present the plays controlled by themselves Thus New Haven will get the benefit of the con- test between the two combines,

KIDNAPPED" CHILD FOUND
AAOTHER CASE oFIGNoRING DE-
 SoRIPTTON OF LOST BOY.

Detained by Brooklyn ChlIdren's sO-
 ciety sixty Hours, Although Police
 Were Searching the City for Hnn-
 Blackmailers Tried to Collect Ram
 som for Boy They Did Not Have.
 New York, oct. 9.--William La Bar bara. the four-year-old S)n of Salya- tore La Barbara. siclian grocer who had been missing from his home at SS7 Second avenue, for seventeen days, was discovered early this morning at the rooms of the children's society in Brooklyn, where he had been since Sat urday night. The child was found wan- derlng about the Washington street end of the Brooklyn bridge
 The extraordinary part of the whole matter is that despite the publicity giv- en to the case and the fact that the boy answered published descriptions exactly, he should have remained in charge of the police and childrens so- ciety for so bong before it occurred to them that he might be the missing one. The case caused much trouble for the detectives, because Of the number of threatening letters received by the boys father, demanding s5,OoO for ran- som.
 Only yesterday, and while the child was sofe with the Children's society, the grover received a message from his sons supposed captors, in which they declared they were sick of waiting and that unless the money was paid by to- night William would be put to death That the boy was really kidnapped the detectives still believe, but they think that the abductors, despairing of get ting any money, set their victim free.
 The boy was In such an excited state to-day, after being petted by his moth CT and father, that Detective Sergeant Petrosino was unable to learn anything about his experiences between Septem- Der p and Saturday. Up to Inst night Petrosino had no really tangible clew. but felt certain that the boy would be found, and that he was in no danger.

TURN YOUR FACE
 INTO DOLLARS
Many a Man Has Failed Because His
 Face Was a Picture of Calamity.

It takes sunshine to produce a rose, a perfect rose. And so man, to be suc- cessful, must have sunshine inside. The life which has 1t not, which has no health and no happiness, is sour, surly, pesslmistic, and a failure. The world already has too many vinegar faces that breathe ill-wlll and strife. The world wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to the man who has it., who radlates gladness and triumph wherever he is and under all circum- stances,
 Some people have a genius for seek ing out the dlsagreeable, the crooked. tine bad and the ugly. These are the destroyers; they travel in schools, they herd together for they love their kind, and the cheerful part of the world will have nothing to do with them. And why is it that so many peddle disaster Knowing at the same time that lif they do their lives will be ruined ? Some people cannot help it. for pessi- mism usually comes from bodily disor- ders, and this cannot always be pre- vented. The stomach, for instance, is l the most common cause of discontent. sour face. recklessness, disgust and lack of ambition. A bad stomach-there is the secret of many a failure. Any one can have a good stomach, a strong stomach a stomach that can take care of anything and everything that is put into it. no matter whether it is a very bad stomach now or not Then why not have it?
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very thing. One ingredient of these | little tablets digests 5000 grains of food, and, no matter how bad is your dyspepsia or indigestion, these tablets will digest everything in your stomach, thoroughly and completely, and better and quicker than healthy stomach can do the same thing. Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure quickly loss of appetite. brash, irritation, burning sen sations. nausea, heartburn, eructations, 1 loss of vim and spirit bad memory and dyspepsia and indigestion in their very worst forms
 No other little tablets in the world Lean do so much. You should carry stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets around with you wherever you go and take them after meals. Then only will you realize
 what it is to. enjoy a meal, and what perfect digestion means. Your whole body and your mind will feel the ef- fleets. your vim will igcrease, you will lbe more satisfied witH what the world does, you win thinR happier and be
 happier, and your fsce win be one oi supreme contentmen9. That will bring you success, and then more success
 Your face will bring you dollars. Try it. It will cost y5u just 50 cents for package of thgse wonderful Stuart: Dyspepsia TaYets at any drug store or l aarth.
