A Rare Opportunity for Pedagogues.
PROF. JOS. M. RICHTER
PASSES PROF. BRUNSON.
St. Andrew's Teacher Takes
Second Place in His Class
Fred Reynolds Takes Lead
In the Shop Men's Race.
The event of most consequence in
connection with th3 Palladium and
Sun Telegram Jamestown exposition
contest, today, is the hearty commen
dation given the affair by Superinten
dent Chas. Jordan, head of the county
schools and Supt. T. A. Mott, head of
tho city schools. Both think this pa
per is affording the teachers a rare
opportunity to secure a splendid trip
free. Supt. Jordan said, '"It's a splen
did eotr- :se and if I were a teacher
1 certuiitij would work to win the priv
ilege of going to Jamestown."
A few of the teachers have been re
luctant about- entering the contest,
fearing that it might not please the
school authorities. Now that both
Messrs Mott and Jordan have com
mended the affair the teachers need
liave no fear of working in earnest for
tho prize. " " ' ' .
. Teachers' Pace Lively.
Already the teachers, race is the
liveliest of any. Prof. Joseph Richter
of the St. Andrews takes second place
among the men, passing Prof. Brunson
of the Garfield school. Prof. Richter j
lias the loyalist kind of support.)
Nearly all his votes have been handed j
in by students in his classes. In the I
woman teachers class Miss Mayr add-;
cd considerably to her vote and stands
fihead.
Fred Reynolds at the Starr Piano
factory jumped to the lead in the shop
employes' race. Messrs Knight and
Russell continue to draw many clipped
ballots. Others have entered the shop
class and it is said that a dark horse
is about to come out with a flourish.
A number of new. candidates are in
the contest today showing that it is
increasing In interest as it continues.
There Is no reason why those already
running should win the contest. Oth
ers may enter and carry off the prizes.
The affair is still young and a week
may bring many changes.
Many Votes Thrown Out.
Over five hundred votes were
thrown out already this week because
they were voted for people who were
in the contest and dropped out. If a
name is taken from the contest the
person must notify the office in case
lie desires to re-enter. Voters should
not waste their ballots on persons

dropped out, unless the person has' sig
nified his intention 6f re-entering.
Make every vote count for the race

the finish.

Place Vacated by Harry Heb
ble Still Vacant.
SALARY IS NO INDUCEMENT.
The hunt for a successor to Harry
Hebble, the police officer who re
signed about a month ago, still goes
merrily on. Despite the fact that the
salaries of police officers have been
raised from $60 to $70 per month, the
police commissioners have been una
ble to secure a man for the vacancy
on the force. - Desirable men have
been offered the position by Commis
sioners Hiatt and Reeves, Prosecutor
Jessup and Chief Bailey but all of
them have turned the offer down.
A local newspaper solicitor, who is
a strapping big fellow and who would
make a splendid police officer, was
asked by Prosecutor Jessup if he
Mystery Appears to Be!would not like to be appinted to tne

police officers had been increased $10
a month. With a smile the solicitor
said, "Mr. Jessup, you make the third
person to ask me if I did not want an
j appointment to the force. For the
third time I shall decline tue appoint
ment. I would not take the place if
the salary was $70 a week."
Greatest excitement reigns at Milton
over the murderous assault made on
Mrs. Frank Morris Saturday night at
her home. It is common talk on the
streets that robbery was not the mo
tive for the crime and the names of
two well known Milton men are men
tioned as Mrs. Morris assailants. It
is rumored that when the true story
comes out, as it is expected to within
a few days, the people of this county
probably will be furnished with the
biggest sensation in years.
Grand Jury at Work.
The case has been called to the at
tention of the grand jury and the
greater part of the day was spent by
that body in investigating it. A Rich
mond young woman, said to figure in
the case, appeared as a witness before
the grand jury and her statement will
be an important factor in solving the
mystery of the assault, it is said. Mr.
Morris was also in the city in consul
tation with Prosecutor Jessup.
Has Not Told All.
The talk that is circulating about
Milton is to the effect that Mrs. Mor
ris knows who made the assault on
her and that she has not told all that;
she might. , The mystery connected
with the case is so complicated that it
will take some time for the authorities
to get at the bottom of it.
