HISTORY OF fam.
Gus ENCYCLOPEDIA

The University of Cambridge has
taken over the control and copyright
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and
will publish new and complete edi-
tion about the end of the present year.
This eleventh edition, which has been
leight years in preparation, eitirely
supersedes preceding editions, and is
a wholly fresh and original survey of
al existing knowledge in every field
of human thought, research and
achievement. 1t will be comprised in
2S quarto volumes, of which the last
will be devoted to full and compre
henSve index.
1t is more than lao years since the
famous Encyclopaedia Britannica was
first planned by "a Society of Gen
tleman in Scotland - The first edition
began to appear in 1868, and was com
pleted, in three volumes, in 1771. The
publishers were Colin MacFarquhar-
who seems to have been the real origi-
nator of the work-and Andrew Bell;
they had the assistance as editor of
William Smellie, an Edinburgh print
er of wide and varied learning. The
plan of new work differed from that
used in any earlier encyclopaedia by
combining the method of Dennis de
Coetlogon (1745) with that then in
common use-on the one hand keeping
important subjects together, and on the
other facilitating reference by numer-
GUS separate articles under alphabet
cal headings. 1t was this novel and
convenient plan since adopted by prac-
tically every encyclopaedia of import
ance, which won fame and popularity
for the Encyclopaedia Britannica; and,
with the necessary notifications and
improvements which experience has
suggested, it has been maintained ever
since. The immediate welcome given
to the new plan showed that there was
public demand for much
more extensive work on the same lines.
Accordingly the same publishers, with
James Tytler as editor, issued the
second edition. in ten volumes, from
1777 TO 1884. The third edition was be-
gun by the same publishers in 17ss,
and completed, in eighteen volumes, in
1897. 1t was edited by MaeFarquhar
himself until his death in 1898, and
completed by George Gleig, afterwards
Bishop of Brechin The sale of this
edition finally amounted to $4,000 sets.
A supplement in two volumes was is
sued by Thomson Bonar, Bell s son-in-
law, in 1901. The fourth edition was
published by Andrew Bell. under the
editorship of James Miller, in twenty
volumes, between 1901 and 1910; 1000
sets were sold. Bell died in 1909, and
in 1912 the copyright was purchased by

PLANNED HOLD-UP
FALLS THROUGH

Tuesday evening man giving the
name of J. f. Howell was arrested by
Constable Moore and placed in the
county Jail, where he is being held.
From all the facts in the case it
seems certain that Howell planned
holding up the Nevada saloon. At
$3.50 clock in the the evening he was
observed hanging about the alley in
the rear of the gambling house, acting
in suspicious manner. Constable
Moore was sent for and in short time
had the man in custody. When search
ed at the Jail it was found that Howell
was armed with an automatic revolver
and a pair of steel knuckles and had a
white hat tucked away under his coat
Constable Moore and Deputy Sheriff
Nofsinger started to return to the al
ly, and when leaving the courthouse
yard discovered large blue handker-
chief lying on the ground, in which
eyeholes had been cut. 1t is probable
that the prisoner succeeded in dropping
the improyised mask while on his way
to the Jail.
Upon returning to the alley, the Off
GERS found a sawed-tff shotgun stand
ing in the shed where Howell was first
discovered, and upon going up the al
ley. horse, saddled and bridled, was
discovered at the Fourth street en-
trance. 1t was afterwards learned
that the horse belonged to F. G.. Rob
ins and the saddle and bride to s. A.
Dedman, presumably having peen stol-
en- for the occasion.
During the search of the prisoner
at the county Jail, the following news
paper clipping, Probably taken from a
Salt Lake paper, was found:
tBelief that j. +. Howell, of 1862
Sixth avenue, has done away with him
self through grief ov the loss of his
1hild is now 4elt by relatives and close
friends of the man. The daughter
died nearly three weeks ago and How
ell has frequently visited the grave at
the city cemetery. 1t was seen that
the loss was preying upon his mind.
''Last Friday Howell did not return
home all day and a search was institut-
ed. He was finally found in the ceme-
terry, at the grave of his child. He
told his friends that he would return
home shortly. He did not return and
has not been seen since that time.
The police have been notified of the
disappearance of Howell and search
will be made for him.
While circumstantial evidence points
conclusively to the Iaet that Howell
intended to hold up the gambling house,
the fact probably does not constitute a
felony. That he stole the horse and
saddle is also morally certain, but that
fact will likely be hard to prove. Up
on the return of District Attorney
Ducker, who is taking a week s outing
in Water canyon some disposition will
be made of the case In the meantime
the local officers are looking up the
man IS antecedents

PROF. ORY|S ring
DIES AT RENO

Prof. Orvis Ring, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, passed away
at Reno Tuesday evening, at the ad-
vanced age of " years. AS mark of
respect Governor Dickerson has order
ed the flags of all schoolhouses of the
state to be placed at half mast until
after the funeral.
The Winnemucca public schools ad-
journed for the day out of respect to
the eminent instructor, and Prof. Abel,
deputy superintendent of public in
struction left for Reno last evening
to attend the funeral, which will be
held in that city today.
Orvis Ring was native Of Vermont.
He was graduated from Wheaton col
lege in 1860 Shortly thereafter he
came to Nevada and worked in the
mines for several years prior 10 begin
ming educational work. He taught his
first term of school at Ophir, an aban-
doned town in Washoe county, where
once there were number of stamp
mills engaged in crushing the ore of
Virginia City.
Upon going to Reno he was made
principal of schools and held that
position for ten years. He then taught
for four years at Winnemleca and re.
turned to the principalsfip of the
Reno schools, holding that position for
seven more years.
He was elected to the safe superin-
tendency of public instrption for a
term and thereafter Tor four years
taught in the schools of Silver City,
Genoa, Verdi and Virginia City. Then

the schools of the state and was finish
ing out his fourth term whn he died.
Without opposition in his own party
and with no opposition on the Demo
cratic ticket. Professor Ring was re-
nominated Tuesday of last week by
the Republican party for reurn to his
Office.
The love and veneration which was
felt for him by all the pemle in the
state was thus illustrated wlen not n
breath of opposition from my party
was heard to his denomination.
For a number of years he abored to
systematize the public school of the
state and bring about a unibrmity of
course of study such as wodd enable
the pupil to remove from on town to
another and not lose his class standing
ates from the high schools ofth stare
eligible to admission into tn Univer-
sity of Nevada without necessity for
examination or preparatory work. In
the carrying out of this plai he was
eminentlv successful. as witnes the ae.
crediting Of nearly all the hin SCHOOLS
in the state by the university authori-
ties.
Prof. Ring never married. lis onlv
surviving relatives are two sisters. All
relatives he had in the east have pass
ed away.
But the late superintendent leaves
sorrowing hearts in the fraterrities of
Reno. He was for two scor wears
an active Mason and was elevated r.
the rank of thirtv-second degree
He also belonged to the Knights of
Pythias and the Order of Elks

CALLS ATTENTION
TO IMPORTANT LAW

Fl. M. Strachan, deputy internal
revenue collector, who is at present
looking after the duties of his Office
in Winnemucca. wishes to call the at
tention of liquor dealers to an import
ant provision of the Federal statutes.
Mr.. Strachan finds that many dealers
are only cancelling the revenue stamps
on whisky barrels when empty, while
the statutes provide that the inspect
tion marks and brands shall also be
obliterated. This is an important mat
ter to dealers, as a failure to com
ply with the law, in case conviction
is obtained, means heavy fine or i'm
prisonment. The statute covering the
question reads as follows:
Section 1924. Every person who
empties or draws off, or causes to be
emptied or drawn off, any distilled
spirits from a cask or package bearing
any mark, brand, or stamp required by
law. saall, at the time of emptying such
cask or package, efface and obliterate
said mark, stamp, or brand. Every
such eask or package from which said
mark, brand, or stamp is not effaced
and obliterated as herein required,
shall be forfeited to the United States,
and may be seized by any officer Of
internal revenue wherever found. And
every railroad company or other trans
portation company, or person who re-
ceives or transports, or has in DOS
session with intent to transport. or
with intent to cause or procure to be
transported, any such empty cask or
package, or any thereof, having there
mo- rk ar ota
ed by law to be place on any cask or
package containing distilled spirits,
shall forfeit three hundred dollars for
each such cask or package, or any part
thereof, so received or transported. or
had in possession with the intent afore-
said; and every boat, railroad car,
cart, dray, wagon, or other vehicle,
and all horses and other animals used
in carrying or Transporting the same.
shall be forfeited to the United States.
Every person who fails to efface and
obliterate said mark, stamp. or brand.
at the time of emptying such cask or
package, or who receives any such
cask or package, or anv part thereof
with the intent aforesaid, or who
transports the same. or knowingly aids
or assists therein, or who removes any
stamp provided by law from any cask
or package containing, or which had
contained. distilled spirits. without do
facing and destroying the same at the
time of such removal, or who aids or
assists therein, or who has in his pos
session any such stamp so removed as
aforesaid, or has in his possession any
cancelled stamps or any stamp which
has been used. or which purports to
have been used upon anv cask or mack.
age of distilled spirits. shall be deemed
guilty of felony, and shall be fined
not less than five hundred dollars nor
more than ten thousand dollars, and
imprisoned not less than one year
nor more than five years.
Section 1925. Whenever any person
knowingly purchases or sells, with in.
insepction-marks thereon, any cask or
package, after the same has been used
for distilled spirits. he shall forfeit
and pay the sum of two hundred dol
lars for every such cask so purchased
or sold.
