There were many things set of IN both
the daylight displays. Balloons followed
each other in such rapid succession that
they formed q parade down the heavens
and streamed across the sky like Sher-
man marching 70 the sea While they
were sailing on their way the bombs were
sounding. and one after another the
strange figures were being hung up in the
air.
The one that called out the greatest ap-
plause was a parachute Of red. white. and
blue, from which was suspended a cord
carrying the American nag. Whenever.
following an explosion 800 feet I'D in the
air. this emblem was spread out TO view
a murmur OF delight broke from the
crowd. which swelled into shouts OF ap-
prOval and clapping OF hands. There were
snakes and dogs and turtles and hats
and figures of men and birds and stars
and twisters and wrigglers. and anything
slse that looked well coming down out Of
he sky.
Great for the Youngsters.
1t was a field day for the youngsters.
They hocked about the field. looking al
ways upward. TO pick out the best Of
what was coming their way. The spirit
Of Yankee ingenuity soon made itself
felt. and in a trice the kids" were bios
sOming out with long sticks with which
to reach up into the air and catch the
tissue paper figures as they fiuttered
down. The fellow with the longest stick
won. Sometimes they were all disap-
pointed. when some particularly buoyant
parachute scared high over their heads
into the city somewhere. One OF
the parachutes carrying an American
flag few nearly a mile from the EIipse
ana came down well over toward the

under the direction Of Donald B Mac
LeOd. gave a concert Just back OF the
thick Of the crowd The mingling OF the
martial airs Of the band with the sound
of the mufiied explosions gave a highly
appreciated effect.
In the evening the EIllpse was made
the battle ground Of a real display OF
fireworks. BY this time the coming OF
darkness had made the use Of the old
fashioned bombs and rockets possible.
and Tor an hour and half the sky above
the Ellipse was stabbed with swift-fying
implements OF powder and spark There
were showers. and rockets, and bombs.

lay The men in charge or lighting the
fuses were right there With the match.
and the black vault OF the sky had no
rest from the bombardment.
The splendid weather conditions
brought out the spectators in thousands.

fireworks were seen at close range by
10000 persons. and at long range by tens

health. Mrs. ETA DONOVAN, Box
299, Willimantic, Conn.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fi0roid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, fiatulency, indi-
gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra-
ton.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it To themselves
to at least give this medicine trial.
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it
not cure you?

PACE TOO FAST FOR HIS KNEE
Squire" Thorpe of Drury Returns from
Chicago Sporting a Cane.

Squire" Thorpe of Drury came to
town today having just returned from
Chicago. where he went with carload
of fat steers. The pace he followed in
the windy city was evidently a trifle
swift for man of his age, for he was
carrying big stick to help out dis
abled knee. Having been away from
home for several days, the squire was
a trifie rusty on Drury affairs. He was
unable to recall any grievance against
the toll road, but said when he left it
was necessary to keep red and green
lights burning to show wayfarers
where to strike the lower bridge across
Copperas creek. The pump into the
No. 2 drainage district, he also assert
ed, was hoisting water at one stroke
and wind at the next. and at about
every third stroke the fish clogged op-
erations. The squire reports winter
wheat in the bay looking fine.

power to act.
Another School Broken Open.-The
Monroe school house ON West Third
street was broken into Tuesday night
and the same manner of mischief
which has been done at the other
schools, that have frequently been en-
tered of late, was perpetrated there.
Books were taken from the desks in
practically all the rooms and strewn
about the floors. Pencils and pen
knives and several small sums nf
money were taken. The loss is small
but the entire building was thrown
into disorder. Entrance was affected
by tearing off screen from base
ment window and breaking the pane
of the window. Almost every one of
the public schools of the city have
been entered during the past year and
this same havoc wrought. At the old
high school building, which is now the
Lincoln school, about $500 worth of
plumbing was carried off. The school
board has now offered a reward of $50
for the arrest and conviction of the
perpetrators of this trouble There is
no clue as yet as to the identity of
the guilty ones, but a determined eff
fort will be made to put an end to the
mischief

CHILD SAVED.
BY Simple Change to Right Food.

When a.little human machine Tor
large one) goes wrong. nothing is so
important as the selection of food
which will bring it around again.
The doctor, and | also" writes an
Illinois woman, consider that we owe
the life OF my little four-year-0ld niece,
10 Grape-Nuts food.
From the time of her berth her stom
ach was so weak she could not digest
milk or any food we could thing of.
although we tried about all the infant
foods known. The doctor gave me no
hope-called the trouble intesnital
consumption.
AT IS months the child could barely
sit alone. her body was So weak. and
her brain did not seem to be properly
developed.
"One day. having some trouble with
my stomach, | brought home 4 pack
age Of Grape-Nuts and started TO use
it. The thought came to me that Il
very little of the food made soft by
| cream might be good for the little one.
y gave her some Grape-Nuts thus
prepared and she soon became so fond
of it that she would reach out her little
thin hands and cry at the sight of Il
saucer with a spoon in it.
''She ate Grape-Nuts not only in the
| morning, but at night also and since
| the first has never missed a day She
is now. at four years, a strong. healthy
| child with a good straight back, fine
bones. and firm muscles. Her mind is
| bright also.
I'VE stopped all medicine. so We
know that it was Grape-Nuts and not
medicines that saved her"
