Prof Flavel s. Luther was elected president of Trinity college at the spring meeting, of the trustees, Satur- day afternoon. He succeeds George williamson Smith, who resigned 8 year ago. The choice of Prof. Luther, who has been acting president for a year, was unanimous. Prof Luther was graduated sfrom Trinity in 1870, was afterward professor of mathema- tics and astronomy in Racine college, Wisconsin, and Kenyon college, Ohio. Declining an offer to become president of the latter college, he returned to Trinity in 1883, and has since remained here, occupying the chair of mathe- matics and astronomy. HIS selection is said to meet the hearty approval of the faculty, the student body and the friends of the college. Newtown has a representative in the student body at Trinity in the person of Hardin George, while Rev F. E. Johnson is a graduate of Trinity.

A CORRECTION.

The writer was much interested in the sketch of the life and ancestry of the late Col George Hurlbut which ap- peared in the April g issue of THE BEE, but begs leave to make one cor rection. The names of all the Rurl- buts mentioned, from the original set tier, Thomas Hurlbut, down toand in cluding Col Huribut, should be spelled Hurlbut, Col Hurlbut having been very particular in that respect. 1tmay also be interesting to note that the Joseph Hurlbut mentioned in the line, was one of the original settlers of Wood bury, coming here about the year 1880 and later was the first white man to settle in Judea society, now Washing ton.

SIOU\ CITY, Iowa, June 2S.-After
an hours torture in the sweatbox to-
day, Fred Hokuf confessed at the Os-
ceola county jail at Sibley that he
murdered Peter Johnson on the latter's
farm the evening of Feb. IS, 1903.
The confession was the sequel of
the discovery of Johnson's body in a
stable on the Johnson place yesterday.
Sheriff Stevens. Deputy Sheriff Stevens
of Sibley and 0. B. Harding of Sioux
City this morning confronted Hokuf
with the mass of evidence against him
and he finally broke down, weeping
like child, and told the story
He said he let Johnson lie until II
o'clock that night, when he found he
was dead. He thought the best way to
conceal the crime would be to bury the
body in the stable, and he worked till
morning doing this. He then took
