PLACE IS A GOOD ONE.

PROF. DAVIS IS WELL EQUIPPED FOR A PROFESSORSHIP IN A COLLEGE CENTENNIAL HISTORY TO .BE COMPLETED.

Prof. Walter S. Davis, teacher of history in the Richmond high school, has been tendered the chair of history in the University of Puget Sound at Tacoma, Washington. Prof. Davis lias notified the president of the institu

tion that he will accept the place if the work which he is to do is satisfactory to him. In case that he ac

cepts, which is quite likely, Prof. Davis will leave, here in August. The

of the court, suspicion was directed to subjects which he is to teach are

the soldier by the fact tnat he was seen

to have in his possession considerable

sums of money. The man was at once , placed under observation. When he ; noticed that he was being shadowed

he became panic- stricken and sought

the authorities. He then broke down and voluntarily made his confession, after which he begged for protection. All the threads of this conspiracy, which is radically different from former attempts of this nature, are not yet in the hands of the secret service men. A few underlings have been, apprehended, but the real instigators of the crime and the men who furnished the blood money have not yet been identified.

American and ancient history and economics. Prof. Davis was chosen to fill the place made vacant by the death of Dr. Edward Johnson, who had been head of the department of

history. Puget Sound university is the Meth

odist school In Washington state and

since its foundation in 1890 has had

a healthy growth. Although Prof,

Davis regrets very much leaving Richmond he believes that he will li!ce the place from the reports that he has heard of the city. Tacoma now has a population of 90,000 and according

to ex-state librarian, William E. lien

ry who has been urging Prof. Davis to

go there it is the best city on the Pacific coast and its people care about other things that make a home

besides money. Mr. Henry is now head of the library in Washington

State University.

Prof. Davis is well equipped for a

professorship in a college. He was a

craduate at De Pauw in 1SOO and has

done post graduate work at Chicago, Cornell and Liepzig, Germany in his

tory and political science. He has traveled extensively, visiting most of

the famous battles grounds of history

Prof. Davis is immensely popular at the high school and his friends over

the county, who are legion, will regret

to see him leave. The work of getting out the Centen

nial history, of which Prof. Davis has

charge, will go ahead as planned. Prof. Davis will remain in Richmond until the copy is in the hands of the printers. -

CLAIM CLASS LEGISLATION.

A resolution to test the constitutionality of the state pure food law was passed by the Indiana Millers' State association Wednesday at the close of the fourth annual meeting, held in Indianapolis. Other important business transacted was the election of officers for the ensuing year and the reading of a number of papers having to do with questions of interest to millers. The discussion which led to the adoption of the resolution to test the constitutionality of the new pure food law was opened by a full explanation of the new law with its requirements and penalties by W. J. Jones Jr. of the Agricultural Experiment station. The opinion of thp millers as it developed in the meeting was that the law as it operated against them amounted to class legislation. They were compelled to pay a tax for making pure food flour out. of wheat, they said. The protest was not against the law in general, but against this particular feature of it. The tax against manufacturers of food goes to the support of Purdue university experimental station. The millers figure "that by the operation of the law they pay Purdue 1 1,600 a day, .

The second performance of "John Knox vs Mary Queen of Scots," as given under the auspices of the Ministerial Association at the Gennett Wednesday night, was fully as successful as the first. The theatre was well filled. About $450 gross receipts were realized off the venture and after all expenses have been paid and bills allowed, it is thought about $123 will have been realized for the benefit of the Associated Charities.

"A" rlElGN OF TERROR. The Kind of Life They Lead In Baku, in Southern Russia, nenry M. Nevinson, a British newspaper .correspondent, writes as follows of present day events in Baku, southern Russia: "'You parasite! When you open a letter at breakfast and find that written at the top Instead of Dear sir' or 'My darling, love your attention Is immediately drawn to the contents. But here In Baku, if you happen to be the hardworking manager of a. rich field with lots of wells yielding eorne 200,000 pounds of oil apiece every twenty-four hours, you will not be so much surprised. You will know at once what is coming, and your first thought will be a visit to your banker's. 'Our agents, the letter goes on, 'will call on you tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock and you will give them the sum of $730. Should you refuse you will be killed tomorrow or next day. Should you betray our agents or give the smallest hint to the police the whole of your family will share your fate. Signed and sealed on behalf of the committee. The seal is a rubber stamp in red, sometimes bearing the words. "Social Democratic Federation, sometimes 'Anarchist Commune. The sum demanded varies considerably. I think it is seldom over $1,000, for one must be reasonable in these matters, and usually it is less, I have known a popular and capable English manager to get off with $23, which is a ludicrous exchange for life. But when the agents ring at the door and ask the servant if you are at home and disengaged, the only thing to do Is to pay. "For there is no pretense about the threats. Refusal or betrayal means death without pause, probably within

the day. It has been proved over and over again. It was proved last week

In the case of a well known and powerful manager who was murdered with revolvers. It was proved the day

before yesterday when a Russian man

ager was disemboweled with knives

and lived a horrible time. Anyhow, if you think it worth while to live a little longer here below, you must pay and try to reclaim from the company. Whether the company will ever get anything by reclaiming from the Russian government heaven knows. The government is too busy with the troublesome and expensive task of shooting Its political opponents or sending

them to Siberia to undertake the pro

tection of commonplace citizens who

have no perilous notions about freedom. "Most conspicuous men employ armed retainers to protect them or avenge their death. Some publish from time to time in the local papers a list of the men who will be at once assassinated if anything happens to themselves. This Is thought very efficacious and certainly helps to preserve the peace. I know one manager who boasts he has 200 men in his pay, each pledged to kill some one if the manager Is murdered. Pride may have exaggerated the number, but there is no doubt about the system."

HUMOR OF THE HOUR

Bringing Perkins Round. The managing editor of a New York paper tells of an ingenious measure he once employed while running a paper in Omaha to convince a refractory merchant that It paid to advertise. "I had been trying for a long time," says he, "to get my friend, a fairly prosperous business man, to insert an ad. or two, but he would Invariably reply: " 'I don't believe it's any use. I never read newspaper ads. myself, and I'm not sure that anybody else does. " 'If I can convince you that people read the advertising pages of my sheet, will yon advertise?' suggested I. 'Of course if you can show m that it will do any good.' "The very next day I ran the following line in the lightest faced agate In the office and stuck It In the most obscure coraer of the paper between s couple of patent medicine ads.: " 'What is Perkins going to do about nr "The following day the man who was averse to advertising hurried Into my office and advised me that people were worrying the life out of him asking for an explanation of the line. So he begged me to explain the matter In the next issue. This I promised to do if he would let me write the explanation and would stand for it lie agreed, and I wrote: '"Perkins is going to advertise, 'of course.' "And he's been advertising ever since."

A Massacre. "Pay attention now," said the schoolmaster, addressing his class during the geography lesson. "The population of China is so great that two Chinamen die every time we take a breath." This information made a deep Impression on the juvenile scholars, and the master was particularly struck with the uncomfortable appearance ol one small boy at the foot of the class. His face flushed, and be was puffing furiously. "What is the matter?" inquired the schoolmaster, with alarm.

"What on earth are you doing, Tom my?

"Killing Chinamen, please, sir." was

the answer. "I don't like them foreigners, so I'm getting rid .of Just as many as I can!" Sphere.
