FACULTY HAS
BEEN CHOSEN
Three New Faces to Be Seen
At High School This
Year.
GREAT THINGS EXPECTED.
THOUGHT THAT NEW PRINCIPAL
WILL RAISE THE STANDARD OF
ATHLETICS AND AROUSE THE
STUDENTS.

Members of the faculty of the Rich
winter terms of 1908 and 1909 have
been selected. All the old teachers
will be back with the exception of ID.
r. Ellabarger who will be the princi-
pal of the Piqua, o., high school, and
Prof Morris who will teach English
at Occidental College in California,
and Miss Robbins who resigned last
spring. In their places the school
board has secured the services of sew
eral excellent instructors and it Is be-
lieved that the new instructors will
be able to satisfactorily fill the posi-
lions vacated.
G. w. Knouff who was principal of
the Wabash high school last year will
be the principal of the Richmond
school this year. 1t is expected that
he will raise the standard of the ath-
letics at the high school to a much
higher plane than it has ever been be-
fore. Many think that since he is one
of the directors of the Indiana high
school athletic association that the
students will take more interest in
the athletic affairs of the school and
the association which has much of the
time been in arrears financially will
be put on firm basis for once in it's
career.
George Hamilton will have charge
of the Latin department caused by
the resignation of Prof. Morris, and
his assistant will be Miss Edith Fran
cisco who will take the place of Miss
Robbins.
The other members of the faculty
will be Miss G. Augusta Mering,
English; Miss Edith Tallant, English;
Prof. j. F. Thompson, Botany; F. L..
Terrence, mathematics; Miss Bertha
E. Hawkins, mathematics; F. S.
Lamar. Physics and Chemistry; Miss
Alice G. Lock, drawing; A. E. Jones,
commercial department; Miss Eliza
Curtis, commercial department; Prof
Will Earhart, music; Miss Stahl, Ger
man; Miss Emma Nolte, German and
Latin; Prof B. w. Kelley, Physiology
and English, and Prof. w. d. Waldrip,
history.

President Roosevelt is going to
shake hands with the victorious Amer
lean Olympic athletes when they re-
turn home, but he has not decided
whether he will meet them in New
York or at reception at Sycamore

lance runner. who failed to bring
much glory to the good old L. S. A, at
the Olympic games proved to be sensa-
tions at the Berlin international
games yesterday. May, in the handi-
cap 100 meter race, won easily from
scratch. Lightbody won the 800 and
the l 800 meter races. In the former
event Lightbody gave his thirty-seven
competitors a start of 65 meters.
Jordan and Lumley gave some great
exhibitions of long distance batting
in the second Chicago Brooklyn game
yesterday. Jordan lined out two
home runs. one counting another run
ner. In the eigth with three men on
bases, Lumley won the game by clear
ing the bags with a double. The first
game was won by Chicago.

Beggars are never suppressed in Tur

is true) about an American lady who by
mistake gave a beggar OF Constantine

post when she returned, but one of his
colleagues told her where he resided"

day team in the state has any class on
the Grays. They have taken nearly
all corners and have done so in
classy style. Cambridge City is
good ball town and it deserves a win

While the Bean Eaters were doing
things to the Reds yesterday Philadel-
phia was further examining the Reds
into fifth place by winning two
games from st. Louis.
There was some talk of forming a
Sunday county league composed OF
Williamsburg, Greensboro, Centerville
and Boston. but the plan has been
abandoned because the fans in those
towns don't give their teams the right
kind of support.
Giant Rose is credited with refusing
to dip the Stars and Stripes when the
American Athletes paraded past King
Edward. Very coarse work. Sup
pose the games had been held here and
the English color bearer had refused
to dip his flag to President Roosevelt.

The late DR.. Morgan Dix" said a
clergyman Of New York, had a droll
way of tightening grave subjects with
little humorous asides. Once / heard
him addressing a graduating class al

On. way to Forete,l Weather.

There were weather prophets before the
weather bureau. A correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican says that once
when Dudley Leavitt. for many years the
maker of the New Hampshire almanac,
was driving northward through Noting
ham he encountered a farmer hoeing by
the roadside.
IA fine morning." said Leavitt.
Yes" was the answer. but it's going
to rain before long"
There was no hint of rain in the sum-
mer sky; but before Leavitt had got
through Northwood Narrows a heavy
shower came down pom him.. Wishing
to find out how the farmer could predict
80 exactly, he turned back and found him
out in the field again, after the rain.
81 should like to KNOW" said the as
tronomer of Winnepesaukee. "how you
could tell SO exactly what the weather
was going to be-"
Well" said the sage. when my old
ram scratches his ear with his left hind
foot in the morning. I'm certain twill
rain before night. Besides. II that old
fool of a bud Leavitt says in his alma
nae, Fair weather may be expected l
know twill be just the contrary"
