Verdict for $5,262.8O.

In the case of First National
Bank of Mexico VS.. c. &. Rags
dale, of Monroe county, the YER
diet yesterday in the Circuit Court
was for the defendant for the pos
session of the cattle and their val
tie fixed at s., 262 80 by the jury.
This is a verdict against the bank
for that amount.
On Dec. 10, 1895, Crockett B..
Ragsdale, who was then assistant
cashier of the First National Bank
of Hannibal, in order to raise
money made a note for So, 800 and
named his brother, the defendant,
{. c. Ragsdale, as payee and made
Il mortgage upon "l2O head of
feeding cattle" to secure it, and
without authority Endorsed the
name of the payee thereon and
placed the note and mortgage i'll
the hands of w. A. Lattimer, of
Sedala, a National Bank Examin-
err, for sale. Thru the brokerage
firm of Marshall 4 Co. the note
and mortgage were sold to the
First National Bank of Mexico. In
March, 1896, it was discovered
that Crockett B. Ragsdale had EN-
bezzled a large amount of money
from the Hannibal bank, of which
he was an officer, and he was ar
rested. The Mexico bank then
claimed that 100 head of cattle in
the possession of defendant, {. &.
Ragsdale, were the property of
Crockett b. Ragsdale, and took
them away from him by suit in
replevin begun at Paris in OctO-
Der, 1896. c. G.. Ragsdale de-
Tended and claimed that the cattle
were his own and that the mort
gage was never intended to be up
on the cattle taken by the bank
under its writ.
The ease was by change of Venue
brought to this county where it
was tried and verdict rendered
for c. c. Ragsdale at the January
term, 1897. Plaintiff appealed to
the Supreme Court when the cause
was sent back for q new trial and
in this trial resulted as above
stated. Defendant, &. &. Rags
dale, established his ownership to
the cattle very clearly and that
Crockett b. Ragsdale had no right
to give the mortgage.
The case has attracted unusual
interest, owing to the prominence
of the parties as well as the unique
questions raised. Ex.Supreme
Judge Williams, of Bonneville,
aud the firm of Fry 4 Clay repre-
scented the bank and Geo, Robert
son with Hon. j. IL. Whitecotton,

SOME people think socialism and
anarchism the same thing. APP
peal to Reason explains: Social
ism demands an extention of law.
Anarchy denies all law. Anarchy
is the brute Overruling reason.
Socialism and anarchy are the OPP
pOsite poles of thought. Socialism
is everywhere in favor of law and
order, Anarchy is everywhere a.
gainst law and order. Those who
hold the views of the anarchist
cannot be well balanced. A nation
or community without law is un-
thinkable."

to the MESSAGE from Nandalia, is
not altogether in error in his OBJ

age anarchists. The anarchist
brings his hatred against govern

costly public occasion and the dis
play of our public officials might
be expected to help intensity that
hatred.

GUILTY..
That's the Verdict Against
CzoIgOsz.

Buffalo, Sept. 24.-The jury, at
4:2G O'Clock today, found Leon
Czolgosz guilty of murder in the
first degree. In New York the
penalty for murder in the first de.
gree is death in the electric chair.
Sept. 23.-With a single word
that broke the hush of the stilled
courtroom like an electric shock,
Leon F. Czolgosz cried: Guilty.
That in reply to an inquiry as
to how he would plead.
There was murmur of surprise
in the court.
THAT, of course, cannot be al
lowed" said the Court. 1.-THE
clerk will enter a plea of not gull
ty aud proceed with calling the
talismen."
At this juncturc the venerable
Judge Titus arose and stated
briefly the position assumed by
himself and colleagues in defend
ing the anarchist. He said that
they had accepted the task at the
call of the United Bar Association
of Erie County and would endeav-
or to do their duty by their client.
He believed that CzOlgosz would
receive an impartial trial and that
his legal rights would he preserved
no matter what the nature of the
charge against him.
Czolgosz, handcuffed to Il bur
ley man, preceded and followed by
policemen, was brought into court
at 10: Ii o'clock He looked slug
ularly frail and helpless in that
mass of blue. With gaze straight
in front of him and shoulders
sQuarely erect he walked down the
aisle with firm tread and gazed un-
ilinchingly at his judge.
PEN PICTURE OF CZOLGOSZ.
His face was pale, but only with
the natural pallor which comes
from confinement. His firm lips
were closed with compression.
His brown hair was neatly parted
and brushed back from a high,
clear forehead. His light blue
eyes showed no fear, nor remOrse,
nor excitement of any kind.
He was dressed in gray coat and
vest and dark trousers, small blue
tie and spotless rundown collar
finished the costume. SO clad, he
looked like any intelligent, con-
sentative, competent business man
or employc.

BRYAN's CoMMONER says the
following as to making railroads
pay: The State of Georgia owns
the Western 4 Atlantic railroad
and leases it for an annual rental
of F420, 600. OF course, the peO-
pie of the State are opposed to any
propositions contemplating the
sale of the property to private in
dividuals or corporations. The
State of Illinois derives an enor-
nous revenue from the Illinois
Central railroad by reason of a
clause in the charter which com
pels that road to pay into the
State treasury Z per cent of the
gross earnings of the main line.
There is a hint in this to those
new States and future States that
may some time be called upon to
deal with the railroad problem.

CHICAGO has introduced n new
requirement that must he met by
those desiring to teach in the pub.
lie schools. All applicants for a
teachers certificate must pass a
physical examination. The Chi
cago Post in commenting on this
new action of the board says that
comparison, physically, of those
now applying with those who APP
piled year ago warrant the ex-
aminers in pronouncing the test
highly valuable" 1t is without
doubt good idea that will make
it necessary for the young teachers
to take care of themselves and
those who are no longer in good
health will be forced to withdraw
The mental vigor which is gained
at the sacrifice of physical health
can be of very little use to the
teacher, whose business it is to be
strong enough to train the minds
Of others.

ing, referring as to
what should be done with anarch-
lists: "For once this writer does
not agree with the MESSAGE. In
stead of putting them in mad
houses and feeding and clothing
them at the expense of the gov
eminent, would be in favor of
putting them OH ships and fur
nishing them free transportation
to some country where it will he
impossible for them ever to get
back"
G. j. Dodds, of Darlington,
Mo-, looks at the matter with yet
Il little more feeling. He says:
II see numerous propositions in
the papers of how to dispose of
the anarchists. My idea would be
for Congress to select one of the
new islands of the Danish West
Indies and put Gordon of guard
boats around it. Then put every
man that won't support the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States, ev-
cry man who favors personal lib
erty to the extent that he believes
in using bombs and bullets as ar
guments in the discussion of polit-
zeal questions, all editors and
writer's of scditious literature
there, with twelve months provis-
ion, tools and implements, includ-
ing pistols and bombs. There let
these people be absolutely free to
establish n state or to destroy each
other, as they see best, the only
restriction to be that they shall
and must stay there. This will
give them chance to test their
theory of personal liberty on one
another rather than on the lives of
those whom we consider valuable
men. IL they can make n success
of their plan, then the world will
have ample time to profit by it.
If they exterminate themselves
oh, well, l for one will try to bear
up under the loss with great forti-
tude and resignation"
But now seriOusly-the MESSAGE
was only speaking Of the home
grown product. CzolgOsz is an
American. We objected to ex-
porting those of his class upon
some other people. We believe
the fOreign-bOrn anarchist, when
discovered, should be shipped back
at once to the country from whence
he came. The fact is America has
been a dumping ground for the
off-scOurings of Europe too long.
Paupers and law-breakers have
been given funds to come to this
country for the past hundred years.
Time to call halt.
But let us not get frenzied.
Some would lynch, and some
would "tear the assassins to piec-
cs." Why, if such n spirit as this
possesses us, how far are we our
selves from the position of the AN
archisti This is a time to be
calm. Let's view the situation
with the same fortitude and cOur-
age as would the martyred Mckin'
ley himself had he survived the
assassin's bullet.
