UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

We are sorry to note the fact that the
School Board have found it necessary to
discharge Miss Clementine Pierson,
assistant teacher in the Howe High
school, on account of ineficiency in her
department. At the last session of the
board they passed the following resolu-
ton: ''Resolved that Miss Clementine
Pierson be and she hereby is discharged
at the end Of the present school month
for reasons and causes satisfactory to
this Board"
In talking with Miss Pierson she
appeared to be innocent of the real
cause for the action of the Board, and
further she said the Board would not
inform her of their reasons for taking
such course. Who will succeed her
has not yet been decided upon.

Death of Miss Alma Clark.

News comes by private letter from
Hamilton Mo, to Mrs Geo. R. Gardner
of the death of Miss Clark at Kidder near
that place, where she had gone to care
for sick friend. While the friend was
lying at'the point of death Miss Clark
was taken with pleurisy and for time
it was doubtful-which would survive the
other. Miss Clark however rallied and
later had a relapse and died Jan. 24th.
Her death exemplifed9 a dominant
phase of her life devotion to duty and
friends. Miss Clark was well Known
here where.she formerly lived and had
q millinery store during the sixties.
The Clark girls Alma, Iu, and Mrs.
administer even then important eIe-
ments in the church and social life of
the place. AS we remember her she
was lady of culture and rare graces of
mind and heart, a devoted church
woman and active in the mission work
of what has later developed into the
st. Johns church. At the time Miss
Clark lived here there were only
occasional mission services held in the
court house and halls. Though an
ardent church woman she worked and
helped in the social life of the Congre-
gationaI church Of which other mem

A TRAGEDY IN A CASTLE.
The Count and Countess de WahlStatt
Shot Dead.

The Murderer Follows up His Crime
by Committing suioide-He Was a
Gardener in the Service of the Count.
Revenge for the Discharge of His
Sweetheart the Motive for His
Crime.
Berlin, Oct. IA dispatch from
Griefswold, Qomerania, announces a start
ling tragedy in the princely family of
Blucher de Wahlstatt, which is connected
by marriage with the Loeb family, Of
Brooklyn, n. Y.
The news caused great sensation in
Berlin, as the Blucher de Wahlstatt fam
lily is both wealthy and important, hav-
ing connections by marriage with promi-
nent families in England and the United
States, and having descended from The IA
nous Marshal Blucher Count Blucher's
gardener, it appears, was desperately in
love with very pretty servant girl who
was employed on the Wietzow estate.
THE GIRL DISCHARGED.
The pretty girl referred to seemed to
have incurred in some manner not ex-
planned, the displeasure of Countess Blu
cher, who dismissed her. The lOve-Smit-
ten gardener TOOK the girl dismissal very
much to heart and went to the Count and
Countess Blucher, begging them to rein
state the girl in her former position.
This they refused to do, and this refusal
appears to have driven the gardner to
madness.
THE COUNT AND COUNTESS SHOT.
Count and Countess Blucher, dispatches
say, were looking out of one of the large
windows of the castle yesterday, entirely
unsuspicious of danger, when the gar
dener jumped out from behind a bush,
raised rife to his shoulder and fired
shot, which struck the count in the head,
killing him almost instantly. Before the
countess could recover from the horror of
the situation the gardener fired a second
shot, which struck the countess in the
neck. The gardener then committed sui
eide with the same weapon.
