To Send Out Fair Exhibits.

At a recent meeting of the regents
of the agricultural college it was de-
cided to inaugurate the plan of fitting
up exhibits for county fairs. The
work was placed under the extension
department with the aim to make
valuable agricultural exhibits, includ-
ing grains, fruits, vegetables, etc,
with samples of modern tools, dairy
utensils and apparatus. Demonstra-
lions will be given each day in the
handling of certain apparatus, the
Babcock test, cream separators, etc.
Instructions will be given at certain
hours by means of apparatus, and
short lectures viii be given using the
exhibits and apparatus as illustrative
material. AS there is no state appro-
Priation to cover this line of work,
each fair will be expected to pay the
actual cost of transportation and the
expense of handling the exhibit but
nothing for the services of the men
belonging to the regular college de-
partments. 1t will be impossible to
state the exact cost this year, but two
exhibits will be made up, one to cost
not to exceed $50 and the other not to
cost over 500. Fair associations in
terested in these exhibits should write
to the superintendent of Agricultural
Extension, Manhattan, at once.

chamber turned these questions over
ing my mind, never finding an an
swer that was satisfactory to my
conscience. I seriously considered re-
signing from the bench. My faith
in mans justice had received crush
ing blow For five years l carried
that weight of self accusing guilt, and
only the sympathy of my friends and
the loyalty and trust of my townsmen
sustained me.
One night l was seated in the study
of Rev Charles Poindexter, the rec
tor of the Episcopalian church Be-
fore a CHEEKY CRATE fire we talked into
the night and to him 1 unburdened my
soul
my heavens, judge he said to me,
laying his hand on my shoulder.
Why haven't you told me all this be-
fore? 1 might have saved you these
years of troubling Never before have
I disclosed that which has been i'm
parted to me in the confessional, but
in this case | believe my duty to
the dead is outweighted by my duty
to the living. When you sentenced
Jonathan Miller you condemned a
guilty man. You remember that 1 at
tended him as spiritual adviser in
his last hours. To me alone he told
the true story of that fatal night He
was guilty of Conway's death although
his hand did not strike the blow
He went to Conway's room with the
intent to murder him and rob him of
his wealth 1t was for that fell pur-
pose that he took the knife and Ian
tern. When he reached the room
he found the deed already done, and
even as the two travelling men en-
tered the room he was meditating
upon how he might secure the con-
tents of the satchels and hide them
Let your mind rest, judge; his hand
was as guilty as the land that struck
the blow,
Thus was the weight oe EARS lift
ed from my Wind, and this, gentle
men, is my story"
Amid the congratulations and
thanks of the members of the Calf
Skin club Judge Grower from the
chair announced that Judge Sturgis
had a story for the next meeting.

cent, and this I will declare to the
end
How many men when facing death
on the gallows have said the same.
l wonder how many men have said
it truly. 1t is true, as Pope says,
that hope springs eternal in the hui
man breast, but 1 often wonder if we
do not make a grievous error in not
giving greater credence to the dying
statement of condemned man.
Jonathan Miller paid the penalty
of the death of Robert Conway with
the same stoical resignation which
had marked the end of many a man
in the same extremity. With his
death the case seemed at an end and
it passed from my mind along with
many other cases which have arisen
in long and busy career: 1 probably
never again would have recalled it
except incidentally had it not been for
strange occurrence.
Il was just retiring for the night
one evening about two years after
the execution of Miller when 1 was
startled by the sound of a horse dash
ing madly up to my gate There
was loud rapping on the door and
upon opening it the painting horseman
cried:
Buck Everett's just been shot
down in Kiley's saloon. He's dying
and wants to see you right away
Says he's got an important confession
to make
Il hurried out, and mounting the
messengers horse, spurred full speed
for Kiley's place, which was a disrep-
utable roadhOuSe about a mile dis
tant. On the way / tried to recall
who Buck Everett might be, and at
last remembered him as the porter
in Miller's hotel at the time of the
Conway murder. When 1 arrived at
the place he was almost gone. but
with the aid of a stiff drink of whisky
he revived suffi GENTLY to make the
following confession:
I'm goner, Judge, but before
cash in I've got to get something of
my mind. It's Conway. I've seen him
day and night My God, judge, there
he is now pointing his bony finger
at me, Take him away. For Gods
sake take him away He gasped in
terror and the froth upon his palIid
! lips was bloody. We thought he was
going before his weighty secret was
told
Come, Buck. have it out and
you'll go easier i said as 1 held his
head.
Yes, judge. I've got to tell it, he
whispered Tt was me that killed Con-
| way Miller never done it, The
thing took hold on me when took his
! grips upstairs and he said they was
| full OF jewelry. 1 slipped in and
knitted him as he slept and got what
there was in his pockets. / was just
turnin' to the grips when / heard
| the landlord comm down the hall. ]
1 slipped out and got past him, and
