BACK TO BOOKS
AFTER LONG PLAY
Schools Open With Large
Enrolment
REAL WORK BEGINS TUESDAY
Many New Pupils Enter for
the Year.
Board has Declared that the Present
School Year VIII he Two Weeks
Longer Than I'm the Past---Short
Session Today.

To tie merry tune of the school
bell, Marion children this morning
began to wend their way to the local
school buildings. Another term was
begun this morning and the indica-
tions at present are most promising
'or splendid school year. One fea-
ture Of the new year, however, is not
so pleasant to the smaldl boy ana
tlrat rs that school will continue two
weeks longer this year by order or
the board. Happy and jubilant, how
ever were the hosts of children who
made their way to school this morn
ing.
session lasting little over an
Eour WAS held this morning at which
time the pupils were given their
places IN the classes and were assign
on to their workL of books was Civ
en- each and the afternoon was given
them 20 purchase the books. The
torn proper will begin Tuesday
morning. All of the teachers were in
iheir places and ready for work.
The office of Superintendent II. L.
Frank was crowded practically al
day with children coming from var
ious parts of the county desrous OF
entering the schools. An estimate OF
the number who will be enrolled in
tie schools Tuesday morning is OBJ
tanned WITH much difficulty at pres
ent as many of the teachers have
not yet reported the number in the
respective rooms Superintendent
Frank thinks that there will be the
largest influx of students Tuesday
morning that schools have had for
some years. Judging from the num-
oers who have moved TO the city dur
ing the past summer it appears that
inere will be a very large increase
n the enrolment in the schools dur
ing the coming year.
IL is reported that everything is in
readiness for the opening of school

FIRE CAUSES
A HEAVY Loss
HoughJon- Merkel Go. has
a Bad Blaze.
GOOD WORK BY F|REMEN
Factory Saved by Their
Quick Effort.
Freight Stops just In Time TO Allow
Department TO Pass or FIRE Might
Have Gained Hcadway too Great
TO be Overcome.

The IIoughton- Merlkle company of
north Main street suffered a loss OF
$4,000 as result of conflagration
which swept, through their storage
rooms sarly Sunday morning.
The fire started on the second floor
N the middle Of the building. 1t is
supposed tc have taken origin from
. live electric wire which was fasten-
cd to the floor directly below where
The fire started.
The flames had gained some lit
tie headway when l.. Il. Coolston, a
mail clerk at the post Office passed
by on lis way to work. He noticed
the black smoke rolling from the
roof and windows and hurried to the
first telephone. He stopped at a north
Main street livery barn where one OF
the liverymen turned in box No. 56.
The fire department labored for
nearly two hours in extinguishing
the fire. That the entire building was
rot wiped out is little less than a
miracle and the excellent work of
The fire department is deserving OF
praise.
Two large holes twenty feet across
were eaten through the second and
third floors of the building. Fifteen
fine new buggles. one delivery wagon
and several other unfinished vehicles
were badly scorched and some prac-
tioally ruined by the heat and smoke.
A large tent which the firm uses at
the fair every year was completely
Destroyed.
An incident worthy of mention oc-
Cured when the fire department was
making its Iun to the fire. Chief Nc
Marland who was in the lead. dashed
over the Big Four railroad tracks
directly ahead of Big Four freight
traiD. The engineer realizing his duty
applied the emergency brakes
and brought his train of ninety cars
to stop before the street was block
cd The remainder of the department
passd over fthe tracks without
second of delay. The west-end de-
pertinent which was some few minu.
les behind the central. was held up
Tor six minutes behind the freight.
Had not the engineer Of the freight
stopped his train the ceptral depart
n'ent would have been held up be-
tween seven and eight minutes. In
That time the building would have
been so completely enveloped in

Fellow Citizens of Marion:


In no country does individual citi-
lcnship have such liberties and carry
such responsibilities as Goes the in
dividual member OF these United
States. In no other country can 1t be
as truthfully said tnat tile people are
the government. Having equal rights
and voice in the affairs of state and
municipal control is making an intel
ligent citizenship which is giving
such direction to our government as
to make us one OF the very foremost
nations of the world.
We owe our prosperity and good
government to the active interest OF
our COOL citizens. There has been no
movement for the better without
struggle with the selfish minority
VINO oppose. At no place in our gov
{, nmental system can the individual
be of such strength and reflect his
sentiment and power for good as in
his own municipality. Good business
good schools, good city government. !.
good homes. and good morals arc
matters of pride to any honest. loyal
citizen. Tf Is- .pa
At very great effort and cost of
money the City of Marion has declar-
ed Itself by vote of strong ma
jJrlty of its citizens that this shoull
tie dry town. It IS not.
The editor of the Daily Mirror has
spoken pronourcedly for law-enforce
ment. las matters stand there is no
temperance question to be passed up
ol. Marion county is dry" Just as
much so as the law which places
penalty upon the man who kills his
neighbor, thereby endeavoring to
stay the hand of the murderer. The
question now before the people OF
he county. as We see It, is not a
temperance Or a moral question It is |
merely question of being law abid-
ing, or of law enforcement.
The editor of the Star has this to
say; "A majority voted dry. and II
was no small Insignificant majority
The retail liquor traffic is unlawful in
Marion. In spite of the popular yer.
iict and the legal prohibition. the
,ootlegglng. unlawful traffic exists to
degree that dlsgraces Marion's
'ood name and offends ali self re-
citizenship
These two splendid papers certain
y EXPRESS the sentiment of the peo. |
ne. The Star raises the question
Does the will of the majority count |
or anything in Marion? Is the law
worthless and the lawless In controI9
IS Marion its own master or the
laughing stock of the law-defyinep"
Such sentiments as these should |
'ouse every self respecting citizen
Fhere are men asking for suppor,
representing each of the great part
fs. whose past record Is such az will |
'orvince that they can and will en-.
orce the law II elected n the citi-
ems OF Marion will nominate good
lean men at the primaries tomorrow
We VIII save much effort and money
rhe lawless crowd always make a
ilsgraceful fight for control. Men OF |
harion wo appeal to you I'm the

Many Of Our Citizens Speak Well OF
the Home Prescription Which
Helped Them 10 Health

Mix the following by shaking
well i'll a bottle, and take in tea
spoonful doses after meals and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces. A local
druggist is the authority that
these simple, harmless ingred-
tents can be obtained at nominal
cost from our home druggists.
The mixture is said to cleanse
and strengthen the clogged and
inactive Kidneys, overcoming
Backache. Bladder weakness and
Urinary trouble Of all kinds, ii
taken before the stage of Bright S
disease.
Those who have tried this say
it positively overcomes pain in
the back, clears the urine OF sed-
iment and regulates urination, es-
pecially at night, curing even the
worst forms OF bladder weakness.
Every man or woman
here who feels that their kidneys
are not strong OF acting in "a
healthy manner should mix this
prescription at home and give it a
trial, as it is said to do wonders for
many persons.
