Owing to dissatisfaction between
President J. X. Richardson and the
faculty of Des Moines college, the
former has rendered his resignation
to the trustees, effective within the
next three months The trustees
have partially accepted the resigna-
ton, but they are still celebrating on
the members of the faculty, and it is
intimated that there will be some
chopping done there. The resignation
Of President Richardson came as a
surprise to all but the trustees and
faculty. He resigned as pastor of
the Cavalry Baptist church in TINS
city a year ago to accept the presi-
dency of Des Moines college, and dur
ing the year did much to relieve the
burden of debt hanging over the in
stitution, one of the two Baptist col
leges in the state. President Richard
son is said to have some pronounced
ideas on educational matters and
they do not conform with the several
members of the faculty who have
been in the institution. President
Richardson felt that either he or the
faculty who opposed him must go, and
is said to have put it to the trustees
in that manner A member OF the
board of trustees stated last evening
that there was a possibility OF Prest-
dent Richardson being continued in
definitely and the faculty would be
let out. The exact course has not
been determined and will not be for
some time.

is leader among the most successful

Under his regime at Eldora it is pro-

OF industries in which the boys who

model of this character of work.

From quarreling the two men came to
blows, and as a termination to the
trouble, Manuel drew from his coat
pocket an ugly looking knife. With
five rapid thrusts towards his enemy,
the frenzied man sent his brother to

darted down the street, wildly gestic-
ulating and screaming. At last &C
count he had not been captured. 1t
