PROF. BROWN DEAD
Well Known Educator Was
Formerly Local School
Superintendent.
HE HAD NOTABLE CAREER

Prof. George P Brown, who was 81
perintendent of the Richmond public
schools in the sixties, died at his home
at Bloomington, H., yesterday. Prof.
Brown was one of the most distin-
guished educators ever serving in this
city and is responsible for the estab-
lisment of the local high school.
He stood high in the National Edu-
cational association and. in fact. had a
distinguished reputation. He was
elected superintendent of the Rich
mond public schools in 1860 and scrV-
I'd until 1860, when he took a position
at New Albany. However. the local
position was again rendered to him
and he again served two years, or
from 1867 to 1869. The superntend-
ency of the Indianapolis schools was
offered to him and he accepted the pO-
sition. After serving there for a mum
Der of years, he was elected president
of the state normal school at Terre
Haute and served in that capacity for
ten years. He resigned to take charge
of the publication or an educational
journal at Bloomington, ILL.,, which
work he had charge of until his death.
There are large number of local
citizens who will remember Mr.
Brown. Superintendent T. A. Mott in
speaking of his work said that he did

than any other man in the schools

SIMS LAST WH|RL IN RENO
Everything Wide Open For the
Visiting Sports.
Public Gambling Ends in September
and There'H Never Be Another
Prizefight.

Reno, Nev.--Not since the bonanza
days of the Cemstock forty years ago
has Reno had such a Saturday night
as the one just past.
The smart little town which squats
where the desert rises to meet the
eastern foot of the Sierras is taking
the stiff bromo of the pulpit with it's
dizzy headache and the dose is res
ceived with a naughty wink, for Reno
is frankly proud of its devilishness.
The big time Is on; was on when
the last roulette wheel was installed
in the Palace saloon down across the
street from the depot.
It will continue from now until the
week after the fight between J~effries
and johnson. 1t will get bigger and
bigger as the trains from the West
and East dump more and more people
out on the station platform.
Wickedness as the pulpit constructs
the word is going to blow up and bust
right here in Reno. One last chance,
one grand time.
Here is the why and wherefore of
it, and you cannot understand just
why Reno and all her divorces are in
for the last big fling at licensed joy,
unashamed and even proud in civil
naughtiness, unless you know one or
two facts.
In the first place, the ring battle
between two men trained to the high
est excellence in crushing and Grip
ping will be the last great fight in
America. Nevada is the only State
left which co~untenances prize fights
of unlimited length, and it is tacitly
understood that after this affair the
Legislature is going to make Nevada
a sweet and good State by passing
the same restrictions on boxing con
tests that all of the other States have
on their statute books.
There will be a law here as easy oil
strict Interpretation as that one which
Governor Gilletto of California brushed
up and set in the roadway of the pro-
moters there.
Then on September 80 a law pro-
hibiting gambling of any kind, which
has already passed the Legislature
will be operative. Nevada is the las
of the States to prohibit public gamb.
ling. Nevada is determined to be
good, even if the last remnant of the
old West, in which the Brooklyn IN
" and Westchester school of fiction
writers find rich color, has to go. 81
prize fighting is to be squelched ant
the roulette wheel, the faro box ant
the crap board with it.
