Secretary Columns Good Work.

Two years ago F. D. Coburn was
elected Secretary Of the State Board Of
Agriculture. Last year he was easily re-
elected, and there is little doubt but
what he will be again elected at the
coming annual meeting This depart
ment is one that should be kept entirely
free from partisan politics, and this is
being better accomplished during the
term of the present incumbent than ever
before; in fact, so little political matter
emanates from the department or it's
head that few people know what ticket
the Secretary votes This is as it should
be. The position is such that the intro
duction of politics to any extent would
materially interfere with efficient service.
But this is not the only reason why
Mr.. Coburn's work should be continued.
AS an authority on agricultural matters
he has an enViable reputation. Several
or his reports on various subjects have
been adopted as textbooks in we'll
known agricultural schools. He has
given the Kansas department standing
which enables it to compare favorably
with that Of any other State in the
union. 1t is difficult to determine how
any change could work an improvement.
The matter Of tenure Of Office should not
figure in this case. A good officer in
such position is too good a thing to let
go, as long as he serves we'll and faith
fully. While, as before stated, there will
probably be no opposition to his re-elec-
tion, these few words are due him as a
faithful and satisfactory officer. He is
the right man in the right place.

wounded, sick, sore, disgruntled,

seen together before, and never will be

distely after the final Judgment is
handed down."

The Sunny Slope Farm.

On page Of our New Year edition we
presented group of young Ksnsss-bred
Herefords, from the Sunny Slope farm,
owned by G. S. Cross, Emporis, Kss.
Space would not permit any extended de-
scription in that issue. These young Here
fords were sketched from life by Lou
Burke, the famous live stock artist.
The Sunny Slope farm herds Of cattle
and swine were the only representatives Of
Kansas improved stock that went forth to
outside State fairs and crowned Kansas
with victory last year.
The result Of the contest in Iowa and
Nebraska is reported as follows: At the
Iowa State fair, Wild Tom, the head Of the
Hereford herd, won first in two-year-old
bulls; sweepstakes in bull Of any age.
Archibald vi. was first in bull calves; first
in sweepstakes under year, all beef breeds
competing, and was head Of herd winning
second, all beef breeds competing. Climax
was second in bull calves. Miss Yelling
ton 9Th was first in heifer calves; Beau
heaPs Lilly was second In heller calves;
Lady BenJamins I'd was third In heifer
calves.
At the Nebraska State fair, Omaha, the
Poland China swine won first breeders
prize, boar and four Of his get, won by
Hadley Jr. this Is the prize most sought
for by breeders. First with Faultless
Queen Corwiu, In yearliug sows First
with King Hadley, In boars under months.
Second with Hadley Jr., In boars over
and under 2. Second with yearling herd,
headed by Hadley Jr. Second with Lady
Longfellow, SOW under II months. Second
with Samboline, SOW under 8 months.
Third with Maggie, aged SOW. 1t was the
universal opinion that Hadley Jr. would
easily have won first had he not been so
lame. He sprained tendon upon slip
perry floor just before he went from home.

woman under heap of rubbish in the
cellar of his house. With the skeleton
were the buttons of dress, with bits
Of decayed cloth hanging 10 them, and
an abundance OF dark-brown hair. Ai
once the dead suspicion leaped to life. 1t
was remembered that the Brill house
was empty in 1891, when Gray drove his
wife to the station. Berry positively
identified the buttons as being like
those on her dress, and soon a complete
chain Of evidence was wrapped around
Gray.
He pleaded not guilty and the trial
came on. At the proper time the pros
ecuting officer snatched a dark cloth
from a mysterious, statue-like object
that stood within few feet of the pris-
oner. Gray leaped back with shout Of
fear and horror. It was the skeleton OF
his wife, it's f1eshless sockets staring at
him. its feshless jaws opening saw
agely at him. He shouted out that he
would tell the whole story.
The story he told was believed by the
court and he got only IL years in the
penitentiary instead of the hanging he
would surely have got had he not con-
fessed under just those circumstances.

HOW vlOLlNs ARE "ANTlQUED." "

New and Green Instrunaents Msde TO ne
semble Genuine "Strads."
Experts in the old violin industry
tell how very young and green instru-
ments can be made to look like products
of the skill of old Stradivarius at a
very moderate expense.
It seems that by means OF little
vanishing, staining and scraping. and
by pasting on an old label, worth about
one-half cent, that any kind of an old
violin may be converted into "genu-
inc Strad' of almost priceless value.
Every effort is being made to prove
that the violin, of the theft of which Mr..
Flechter is accused by Mrs. Bott. was
such an instrument.
Oscar Schildbach, who works for Mr..
Flechter, said that the violin in dis
pute was turned over to him to be prop
rrly "antiqued." The violin "antiquer"
testified that he took the violin, a
French instrument, made by Nicola,
and, under the direction of Mr.. Flechter,
stained over the name OF the maker
and pasted on the place an imitation OF
an old-time yellow label, which read:
"Antonius Stradivarins. Fecit, A. d.
1875" He also did little scrapsng and
treated it with some good antique"
yarnish.
"Did you think that anybody would
believe that this one was q genuine
Stradivarius ?" he was asked.
"Many persons" said the witness,
pravely, "cannot distinguish between II
new and an old violin. There are many
| fools."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
