 The days of the red shirt apd helmet, once so familiar, have passed. The men were dressed in neat suits of blue, double breasted, with nickel buttons for the men. and gilt buttons Tor the officers. Instead of helmets they wore fatigue caps with vizors. The appafn- tus was not trimmed, but had been shined and polished until 1t falrly glis- tened in the sunlight. It was fine locking body Of men, and they were greeted with applause, and eompli- mentafy remarks were to be heard over the whole line Of march. as follows: Public Square, 10 Elm, 10 Pfoyi- dence, to Church, te Bridge, Ia Elm, ,to Front, To South Main, 10 Grove, and return to the Square, where the pro cession disbandei.
 Hpon the return from the north end of the city the parade was reviewed by the mayor, members Of the council ,and Judge Fuller Of the city court, from the lawn of the Congregations church.

Bradley TheAter

The attraction at the Bradley theatre
 Monday, Oct. 2i, will be William LOT
 inner in his romantic Biblical play,
 The shepherd King. The play is per
 haps the best known of any of the
 dramas founded upon stories from the
 Old Testament and has a well-deserv-
 ed popularity not only in this city but
 throughout the country on account of
 the sincerity of it's purpose and the
 reverent treatment of the theme. Mr.
 I4orimer has become identified with
 the character of David SD thoroughly
 that he has become the ideal exponent
 of the Seriptural hero. He is eminent
 ly fitted for the portrayal of this char.
 aetcr both from an intellectual and
 physical standpoint. A profound stu.
 dent of the Bible, his analysis of the
 character of David, the Nastersinger
 of ancient Israel, has been deep and
 thorough, and his conception of the
 part is just what one might expect from such scholar. An athlete, he Is
 the ideal David physically. Manager William A. Brady, who is directing the tour of Mir. Lorimer, has determin- ed that his star will outshine all the other players of Biblical parts and has surrounded him with a production
 
 harbaric splendor of that ancient pe- riod, and with . company of unusual strength.
 The story of David is familiar to al- most every school child. In The shepherd King some dramatic license has been taken and . love scene be- tween the boy David and the Princess Michsl introduced, to create love in- terest. David has been summoned from the hills to amuse King Saul in his tent. Hearing the taunts Of Go Hath. he obtains leave of the King to fight the giant, having no other weap- on than his shepherds sling. He e- turns victorious and wins the admira- tion and love Of the young Princess. His feats of arms against the enemies of hts ccontry later on win him such unbounded popularity that saul be- comes insanely jealous and attempts to destroy him. David tnumphs, how ever. Saul is himsslf destroyed and the shepherd boy b crowned King Oi Israei. The company ergaged by Manager Brady for tho support of MT, Lorimer contain the names cf many weil-known playSrs, and more than hundred people take part tn the per formance.

lest educators in America The
standards set by the International
Live Stock Show are the very best
and no farmer who attends this show
can go away without carrying home
to his business a broader conception

farmer should avail himself of the
opportunity to study types and breeds
of live stock in connection with the

"The opportunity to study car lots

Is in itself worth far more than the
cost of attending the show.
Farmers who inform themselves
