state Superintendent Renders On Inn
portant Decision. '
DIES MONIES, May 17.-State Super
intendent Barrett has decided an
appealed school case from the inde-
pendent district of Ocheyedan, Osceola
county, which is of considerable inter-
est, It is held that school boards can
not discharge their employees with en-
tire disregard of the nature OF their
contracts. Prof. A. J. Jones contracted
to conduct the high school at Ocheye'
dan, for the school year, at SIS per
month, aud in addition to act as SUPER
intendent of the town schools. He
was given contract, under which he
was to prepare course OF study for a
three years high school course. This
he prepared and it was accepted by
the board. Later the board decided
to consolidate the eighth grade with
the high school, and to place the whole
under Prot. Jones. To this he objected,
but when the term began he was on
hand and began his duties, protesting,
however, that he was not hired to
teach the eighth grade, and that he
could not handle it in addition to the
high school. So, on the opening day
of the term, last September, the
board met and incontinently fred the
new superintendent. He appealed to
the county superintendent, who decid-
ed against him. The case was then
appealed to the state superintendent,
and that officer reverses the county
superintendent and holds that the
board had no right to discharge Prot.
Jones under the circumstances.

DOBsON PULLS OUT OF RACE.

Dies MONIES, May 1S.-Hon. George
L. Dobson, for four years secretary Of
state and previous to that a member
of the house from Buena Vista county,
has withdrawn from the race as a
candidate for secretary for the third
term. Mr.. Dobson has had that mat
ter under consideration for several
weeks and his associates in the Ma
tional Life and Trust company have
been urging him to accept a place OF
more activity than he at present en-
joys. This news comes as . surprise
to the republican politicians and the
people of the state. A third term has
been conceded to Mr.. Dobson and he
would have undoubtedly been re-nom-
mated by reclamation. In January
and February there was some talk OF
the Hon.. Mr.. Borringer of Palo Alto
county, being candidate, but he
withdrew and pledged himself to Dob
son, thus removing all opposition.

Peculiar Case Comes to Light In Town

BOONE, May 1s.-Mrs. John Sellhorn,
of Boone, had narrow escape from
death this week by eating poisoned
candy sent through the mails. She
received small box of tempting choc-
olate creams. They were loosely
wrapped in one of Perrine's candy
boxes, and Mrs. Sellhorn thinking
they were from friend at once ate
piece. This tasted very well, so she
took another and after eating it de-
tected a peculiar flavor. In few
moments she was taken ill. DR.. Rowe
was summoned and said Mrs. Sellhorn
had been poisoned and upon examina-
ton of the candy found enough deadly
matter to have killed several women.
Inquiries at the postoffice developed
that the parcel had been mailed in a
city post box and brought in by the
carrier. Local authorities are work.

clues as to the sender of the poisoned
candy.

church. The detachment attempted
to escape by the river, but the men
getting into boat were killed. The
Remaining men intrenched themselves
near the river and held out for two
days longer, facing the most adverse
circumstances, until they were res
cued by Lieut.. Sweeney and ten men.
Over 200 in the attacking party, many
of them reported as having come from

Mr.. Clark, Of Montana, CriticiSes the
Committee aud Resigns.
WASHINGTON. May 16.-Mr. Clark, of
Montana, fairly swept the senate with
his surprise yesterday by his formal
announcement that he had sent his
resignation as senator to the governor
Of Montana. Mr.. Clark quietly rose
and addressed the chair. He desired,
he said, in low, tense voice, to ad-
dress the senate on question of priv
ilege personal to himself. Instantly
there was buzz of expectation in the
chamber. Senators from both sides of
the main aisle hurried to seats near
Mr.. Clark, and hush fell upon the
assemblage as the Montana senator
began to speak. At first his words
scarcely could be heard, but as he pro-
ceeded his voice became clear, and,
while at no time did he speak loudly,
the intense earnestness of his utter
ance carried his address to the re-
hottest parts of the chamber. His ad-
dress was sharp arraignment OF the
committees action and report, an
analytical discussion of the evidence
adduced at the investigation, an ex-
PLANTATION of the political and business
affairs in Montana, and bitter ex-
coriation of Mr.. Daily and his friends.
As Mr.. Clark adverted to his desire to
hand down to his children name I'M
furnished even by the breath of dis
grace, tears welled to his eyes and his
voice trembled with emotion. He
almost broke down. Then, bracing
himself, he read the letter he had sent
to the governor of Montana rendering
his resignation. At the conclusion OF
his speech, Mr.. Clark became the GEN.
ter of group Of senators, all DESTROYS
of pressing his hand.

Europe, the writer hints that "Russla

Corbett Knocked Out in the Twenty

SEASIDE CLUB, Coney Island, May -.
In the fastest, prettiest and closest
heavy weight ring battle ever fought
in New York, James j. Jeffries has re-
affirmed his right to the championship.
In the arena of the Seaside Sporting
Club last night he decisively defeated
Jim Corbett, once champion of the
world, after twenty-five rounds of
fighting. It was clean Knockout,
coming so quickly that it dazed the
thousands of spectators and left them
in doubt as to just how the winning
blow was delivered. But while JEFF
fries knocked out the ex-champion,
Corbett demonstrated his superiority as
a boxer. He cleverly evaded Jeffries's
blows and hit him at will. But, as in
the fight with Fitzsimmons, he lacked
the force to deliver Knockout blow.

British Side of Story.

LONDON, May ls.-A skeleton mes.
sage from Lourenzo Marquee, based
upon information that leaked out at
the Pretoria war Office, shows that
the Boer stormers surely fell into a
trap. COL Baden-Powell permitted
them to seize one fort, and then he
surrounded and overbore them before
the large force near at hand perceived
the stratagem. 1t was thus that Com
mander Elof, President Kruger's
grandson, and part of his command
were taxed and fifty Beers killed.
