address of welcome upon this occa.

have come to the conclusion that it is
but natural for a young man to intro
duce a crowd of young ladies. A
speech of this sort ought to be charac-
terized by two things-sincerity and
brevity. The word welcome in itsel
is enough, for 1t contains all that
can say.
First, I welcome you, on my owl

The Formal Opening
OF HARDIN COLLEGE BRINGS OUT
A LARGE AUDIENCE MONDAY
MORNING.
Speeches We're Made By Prominent
Citizens of Mexic0-Good Music
List Of the Scholars in
Attendance.

The spacious chapel of Hardin Col
lege was literally filed to overlooking
Monday morning by a large and cultur-
ed audience-the friends and patrons
OF that institution. By 8 o'clock the
crowd had began to gather, and when
the curtain rose promptly at 9 there
was standing room only in the large
room. The occasion was the formal
opening of the college. Its object
was to welcome the young ladies who
are in attendance for the first time,
and to encourage on their way those
who have returned for the completion
of their studies.
The programme was rather longer
than had been expected, and it was II
O'Clock when the audience dispersed.
But two more enjoyable hours could
hardly have been spent, and those
present were eve sorry when it was
time to go.

This will be good news to the many
friends of DIR. John w. Reed, who
sailed on the Anderson. DIR. RothwelI
was very slow to believe the Anderson
was lost because he said DR.. Reed ia
too lucky to be drowned and that dur
ing the late war while DIR. Reed was
coming from Salt Lake City to Mexico
it was reported that the doctor with
all the other passengers on the stage
had been robbed and murdered,
While everybody was mourning about
the matter DR.. Reed turned up safe
and sound with $4,000 in cash which
he had made in the drug business in
Salt Lake City.

Welcome to our homes and hearts,
Rev. Marvin was followed by the
Hon. Orlando Hit, who spoke in sub
stance as follows, on "The Duty OF
the Pupil':
81 fear it is somewhat risky for q
bachelor to presume to suggest to
young ladies' their duties, but do not
take offense. For the present con-
slider it nonsense, and at another time
when the teachers are not listening ]
will make due apologies and explana-
lions.
When you were children it wal
proper for you to run and play, to sulh
and pout as children are wont. But
now you have grown older, there is
change in your situation and there
should be a change in your thoughts
Laying aside childish things you should
live with a purpose in view.
In sending You to this institution
your parents had your welfare a
heart. You were not expected to b'
the belle Of the ball, to dress extrava'
gantIy or to fiirt with dudes unworthy
of your notice or society. At the prope'
time it is all right for You to converts
with young gentlemen in a proper ant
lady-iike way.
But the primary purpose OF you
coming to Hardin was to give You tn
best instruction procurable, and yo'
should leave no effort untried to TAX
advantage thereof. Your progress
depends upon your knowing how T
: study as well as upon your willingness
to learn. You must work even thong
. you are mammals pet or papa
darling. Without effort there is noth
ing accomplished.
Start right. Train up q child in tn
way he should CO. said Solomon, an

A COMPROMISE EFFECTED
In the Cases of First National Bank OF
Hannibal vs.. G. C. Rsgsdale,
and Vice Versa.

The case of the First National Bank
of Hannibal vs. O. O. Ragsdale, which
has occupied the courts attention
since the commencing of court Mon
day morning, was compromised We'd
nesday. The compromise also dis
misses the case of Ella B. Ragsdale VS..
First National Bank of Hannibal.
@. B. Ragsdaie, a half brother of the
defendant in the case, which has been
on trial, gave a chattel mortgage on
1853 cattle while he was working in
the Hannibal bank. The mortgage
was forecIosed and it vas alleged that
the cattle belonged to other parties
than the man giving the mortgage.
1t was claimed that 80 head of the
cattle belonged to Mrs. @. G. Rags
dale and that the remaining 1913 head
belonged to G. @. R~agsdale, hence the
suit.
In the compromise it is agreed to
return 80 cattle to Mrs. Ragsdale and
reimburse Mr.. Ragsdale in the sum of
$1,675 for a half of the price of 1913
head of the remaining cattle. Each
party in the suit will pay their own
costs and half of the court costs.
The result of this suit removes any
shadow which might have been thrown
on Mr.. @. @. Ragsdale's business repu-
tation, and his many friends congratu-
late him upon his standing as a
straightforward business man.
