CIRCUS HERE
NO PARADE BUT FREE ExHIsI.
TIoN GIVEN BEFORE SHOW
BEGAN.

Sun Brothers Progressive Shows Of
the World will give two performances
at Tenth street today. The show is
reported to be a good one. In towns
where it has exhibited it has been
very satisfactory. Tae show IS in the
class Of John Robinson's shows, which
are so popular.
On account of the ball games to be
played at South Side Park this after.
noon the show people could not git the
park. A lot on this side Of the park
just outside of the corporation was
secured and two performances will be
given.
The show exhibited at Warrington
yesterday and the reports from that
city are that It gave general satisfac.
tion. Good crowds attended both per.
formances, which is the best test Of
the merit Of the show.
The show does not give a parade,
but instead number of free exhibl.
tions outside II the tent that seems 10
satisfy more than a parade would.
The doors are open and the show
begins at the regular circus hours.

NEW TEACHERS
At THE NORMAL
NOT MANY CHANGES BUT SOME
ADDlTloNAs TO THE
FACULTY

The friends of the Normal scnoo
faculty are pleased to know tnat no
very many changes were made in II,
teaching force this year.
Miss Annie R. Austin. who was tbs
very capable supervisor of the Mode
School, has been elected as supsrtn
tendent Of the Training Department Of
the Concord Normal.
Miss Laura Lewis, who was assist
ant in the Department Of English, ha.
been made teacher of English at t!.e
Concord Normal.
Miss Montana Hastings, mead of The
Department Of Education. has her
work completed for the A. B. degree
at Columbia University, but had not
recsiyed official notice taat the de.
gree would be granted when the Board
was In session, therefore she was not
formally elected, although 1t is un.
derstOOd she is to be elected as soon
as her credentials come officially to
the Board.
Miss Alice GotshaIl, who has been
elected assistant in English, is grad.
uate Of Marshall College and the Uni.
versity and has taught at the west
Liberty Normal for the past two years.
Miss Maynie Ware, teacher Of elo.
cution, was not an applicant for re,
election. She was entirely acccpta.
BILE as teacher, but she desires to
take period of rest and did not ask
to be returned.
There Is scarcely room in the single
Normal School building for the piano
department. hence no teacher was
elected for that work for the coming
year. Mss Donley, tne teacher in
that work, was quite satisfactory. and
had the department been continued
would have OF course been elected.
Prof. W. A. Beer mas been teaching
in the Normal since the opening OF the
spring term. He has been elected rs
head 'Of new department, that OF
History and Economics.
Two new teachers yet remain TO be
selected in the regular faculty, one in
place Of Miss Austin as supervisor OF
the Model School and the other an as.
sistant in professional work.
Miss Rea, the kindergarten teacher
and preceptress of the Woman's Hall,
is not elected as regular member Of
the faculty but is employed by the
Training School. 1t IS understood that
she will remain with the school.
With the additions to the faculty
provided, the Normal School will have
the strongest teaching force the in.
sttutlon mas ever had in its history
and 1t seems entirely probable that
the record in attendance for the cum
ing year in all departments will reach
800 or 900.

due to Indigestion; at least IndiRes-
ton Is the beginning OF the trouble.
The only way to restore health is to re-
move indigestion with Kodol. Every

food. Every one knows that people

plain food in moderation. there would
be little need for doctors and drug
stores: but all OF us occasionally. and
and many of us constantly, eat not only
too much. but swallow rich food that
the stomach cannot digest.
The food ferments. gas nils the
stomach, and undigested Jumps of food
harden and the lining Of the stomach
becomes inhamed. That's where chron-
ic and nervous dyspepsia comes In.
Now, what is to be done? Simply this

its work. The only sure way Is Kodol.
This is true because Kodol Is the only
preparation that supplies the same dt-
