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 commendation given the affair by Superintendent Chas. Jordan, head of the county schools and Supt. T. A. Mott, head of tho city schools. Both think this paper is affording the teachers a rare opportunity to secure a splendid trip free. Supt. Jordan said, '"It's a splendid eotr- :se and if I were a teacher 1 certuiitij would work to win the privilege of going to Jamestown." A few of the teachers have been reluctant 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. Others 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 once In the contest and who have dropped out, unless the person has' signified his intention 6f re-entering. Make every vote count for the race

NO SUCCESSOR FOUND FORME FORCE Place Vacated by Harry Hebble Still Vacant.

SALARY IS NO INDUCEMENT.

The hunt for a successor to Harry Hebble, the police officer who resigned 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 unable to secure a man for the vacancy on the force. - Desirable men have been offered the position by Commissioners 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

The case has been called to the attention of the grand jury and the greater part of the day was spent by that body in investigating it. A Richmond 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 consultation with Prosecutor Jessup. Has Not Told All. The talk that is circulating about Milton is to the effect that Mrs. Morris knows who made the assault on her and that she has not told all that; she might. , The mystery connected
