How many men when facing death

that hope springs eternal in the hui

with the aid of a stiff drink of whisky
he revived sufficiently to make the
following confession:
I'm a goHer, Judge, but before

my mind. It's Conway. I've seen him
day and night. My God, Judge, there
he is now pointing his bony finger

MISSOURI NEWS
Missouri Taxed on s1,54e, s4s 500.


Jefferson City.-Missouri's taxable
wealth is $1,546,S43,5G taking the
figures that have been passed upon
estimating the corporation values
very carefully. The exac figures on
corporation property assessed by the
state board of equalization will not
be available for several weeks, but
the figures given above are evry close
to the correct figure.
The increases this year on corpora
tion property is estimated by the
state auditor at 81 5000, 900. The cor
rorations were assessed last year at
s1G3,4S2,S 71. Most of the increase will
fall upon steam railroads.
Real estate valuation Is fixed at ST.
059,345,946 and personal property at
$31S, O14,74G.
1t is claimed that much Missouri
evenu is lost because of personal
property being withheld from taxation
and the total of money, notes and
bonds returned to the assessors Is but
s~S7,204,1S3, seemingly bearing out the
assertion. The banks are valued at
$40, 2 ,1GG.
Town lots as well as agricultural
land is taken in the real estate valua-
ton. There are 42,G33,375 acres of
land in Missouri aside from city and
town lots. valued at $419, GA 35. The
agricultural land is worth on an aver
age of 50 an acre, and the town lots
average $50 each for taxable pur-
poses.
A strange discrepancy in the valua-
tions Is that all classes CT property ex-
cept money, notes and negotiable Sc
curities are listed at from Is to rs
per cent of their actual value, while
these three are listed at their face

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 lam
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 hand that struck
the blow!

BRYAN WOULD NOT HAVE 1T
Opposes State University Accepting
Carnegie Pension.

Omaha, Neb.-In signed communica-
tion VIM. J. Bryan opposes vigorously
any action on the part of the Nebraska
Legislature authorizing the State Uni
versity to become pensioner Of Andrew
Carnegie or the steel trust. Mr.. Bryan
discusses at length the pension system
devised by Mr.. Carnegie, and gives nu-
merous reasons why, in his judgment,
professors of the Nebraska University
should not be permitted to become pen
sioners under that system.
Mr. Bryan suggests that the State it.
self increase the salaries of the teachers
in her university after due consideration
of their compensation by the legislature
Ii the beneficiary of this increase in
salary, he says, should prefer to reserve
a part of the increase for old age, for
which the Carnegie pension system is de-
signed to make provision, then the privi-
lege might be allowed of leaving n part
payable on demand and drawing interest
rates.
