EXPECTS INCREASED
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Board of Education to Make Ar
rangements for Accommodat
ing 30,000 More Pupils,
TO BE READY FOR THE FAIR.
Soldan Will Becommend the Erec
tion of Portable Buildings
Additional High Schools
May Be Provided.
At its Oc -er meeting the Board of Ed
ucation trill make preparations for caring
for tho Increased attendance at the city
schools to be brought about by the World's
Fair. Superintendent Soldan estimates this
Increase at nearly 20.00J pupils.
'An Increase of 20,000 In our schools,"
said Superintendent Soldan ycEtcrday,
"would mean an increase In the cltj's pop
ulation ef 1M.000 Inhabitants. We usually
figure one pupil to eight persons In a
family.
"I shall recommend to the Board of ed
ucation that portable buildings be erectedi
for the accommodation of this increased
attendance. It Is necessary to take up the
matter-at' once in order to have them
ready.
"My reason for recommending portable
structures Is that the board Is not prepared
to erect enough permanent buildings to pro
vide room for tho World's Fair Increase. It
would cost more than Jl,0CO,O00 to erect suit
able permanent houses. Then after the
Fair we would have them in locations
where they would not be wanted.
"We can erect a portable building for
1700, which is light, airy and weU ventilated.
Bach room will comfortably seat fifty chil
dren. They may be erected on leased
ground at small cost to the board, and after
the Fair, If wc so desire, they may be sold
to the owner of the land at a price which
will Insure no loss."
Superintendent Soldan alio stated he be
lieved the Board of Education will take up
the Question of erecting high-school build
ings in North and South St. Louis. He re
gards them as necessary. The Committee
on Sites has already Investigated the mat
ter so far as their part of the transaction
goes, and about twenty-five different loca
tions have been submitted to them. "I re
gard the question of caring for the in
creased attendance at our schools In the
time of the World's Fair of sreater im
portance, and it will be the chief problem
for the board to solve at its October meet
ing." said Mr. Soldan.
The board will meet in regular session
next Tuesday night. The transfers and ap
pointments of teachers will be approved at
the meeting. The reports to the Super
intendent show that tho schools have begun
the term excellently. So far no objections
have come from parents who do not want
their children vaccinated, and the teachers
report that many of their pupils have gone
to the dispensaries and their family phy
sicians to submit to tho operation.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Austin, Tex., Sept. 6,-The Texas Legis

to-day for the purpose of passing the gen

submitted to them a message -asking for
legislation on the subject and called their
special attention to two facts.
One was that the drought that had prevail
ed over the State during the past season
had played havoc with the farming inter
ests, and was likely to decrease the pay
ments SUte taxes In a marked degree,
and this fact should be taken into consid
eration in making the appropriations.
The second was that the eleemosynary tn
stltutidns and the Confederate Home are
eadly In need of additional buildings to accommodate-
patients, and every effort
should be' made to hold down -the appro
nriotion. in n,hr rionsrtments. so as to

BUYERS CROWD
WHOLESALE DISTRICT
Unprecedented Influx of Merchants
Promises to Break All Previous
September Records.
Buyers from North, East, South and
West are crowding the wholesale dry
goods, boot and shoe and millinery houses
In Washington avenue, and there seems to
be no indication of a let-up In the scramble
to purchase St. Louis goods for at least
another week or ten days: ,
The first week In September has always
been a heavy week for the local wbole
calers, but this year It promises to break
all records.
With the Increase In business In all lines
of trade comes a demand for St. Louis
made goods. St. Louis has hundreds of lit
tle, factories turning out clothing, neck
wear, gloves, women's skirts and waists
and men's flno shirts, of which but little Is
known outside tho wholesale district.
Each of the big wholesale dry goods
houses has a shirt factory in connection.
Yesterday the Ferguson-McKlnney Dry
Goods Company closed a contract for the
lease on a large factory building at
Twelfth and Soulard streets, which will be
used as a shirt factory. The house already
has in operation a factory on Lucas ave
nue Just west of Tenth street. Here 400
men and women are employed dally making
shirts. The new factory -Bill be operating
by October 1 with 600 employes. Under
wear will also be made In the new factory.
Fivo years ago It-was necessary fortha
St. Louis wholesalers to purchase these
things for their own trade In the Eastern
markets. Now they manufacture all of
them.
More than 200 buyers from the country ar
rhed in St. Louis yesterday to purchase
goods. Among them were:

Nancy W. Henry of No. 779 Euclid avenue
were married In Clayton yesterday after
an engagement of twenty-eight years. The
ceremony was performed by County Judge
J. B. Brouster.
The marriage was the culmination ot a
childhood romance that might have been
terminated years ago had not stern parents,
assisted by fate, decreed otherwise. The
principals In the marriage are second
cousins, and their parents determined, in
1ST, that their marriage should not and
must not occur.
At tho Clayton license office yesterday Mr.
Henry gave his age as 44. while his bride.
confessed to 35. When his attention was
called to the fact that this would have
made his fiancee only years old when she
(unam. mvoMil fn h!m. ha admitted that
j ucn wa3 the case. They plighted their
troth, he said, when no was out is years
old and his cousin but 7.
David's father sent him to Kansas. From
there ho went to Oklahoma. His fiancee
remained with her parents on the Randolph
County farm for several years. Letters were
passed regularly all the time between the
young folks, and for this reason Miss
Henry's parents concluded to move. It was
not until five years ago that the cousins
again learned each other's address.
