ore was found bore old scars. made a
number of years before with an AK or
similar implement. Ferguson testi-
fled that the ore had the appearance
of having been placed there a long
time ago, and another witness testified
that the quartz had marks of having
been broken from a vein before. Still
another witness told Of having found
pieces of old. rotten duck cloth at the
place where the ore was discovered.
This was the substance of the evil
dence concerning the circumstances
and conditions under which the gold
bearing quartz was found. The trial
court denied a motion for nonsuit.
and judgment having been rendered in
favor of Ferguson for the recovery of
the ore, Ray appealed.
In an opinion written by Justice
Wolverton, it is held that the motion
for a nonsuit should have been grant
ed. The theory upon which the
cause is sought to be maintained is
that the quartz was either lost or
abandoned property, and that in either
event plaintiff (Ferguson) is entitled
to it's possession as against the de-
PENDANT, and all others, except the
true owner. AS the property was
found beneath the surface, not upon
it, the question has been presented
whether or not it is treasure trove.
We are firmly impressed that it can
not be so considered' Authorities
are quoted showing that treasure
trOve is money, coin, gold, silver plate
or bullion hidden in the earth. the
owner being unknown, and the court
says this quartz does not come under
any of those classifications.
Taking up the Question whether the
quartz was lost or abandoned proper
ty, the court holds that the evidence
does not show that it was either lost
or abandoned in the sense that the
finder is entitled to it's possession or
ownership as against the owner of
the soil. The quartz was not found
on the surface of the earth
and the presumption that it was lost,
which attends property found on the
surface, is wanting. The property
was valuable. 1t had certainly at
some time previous been detached by
human agency from a ledge. and the
evidence that it was once contained
in a bag Of some kind of cloth, and
that trees nearest the place of finding
bore some old marks, apparently
made by design to aid in locating the
property, would indicate that it was
voluntarily deposited where found
The supreme court, therefore, holds
that since this quartz, not being treas
ure trove, was found imbedded in the
soil under circumstances repelling the
idea that it had been lost, the pre-
sumption is that the possession is in
the owner of the land.

County Clerk Hughes informs the
Republican that an experience and re-
sponsiblo gentleman Of Springfield will

purpose Of erecting u factory. He
represents the most up.to-,late methods

And this Is only part Of the story.
Farmers will find II wealth-producer,
bringing in good returns at 1. season of

can be turned into cash. Mr.. Wade
informs the Republican that the fac
tory ut Ozark last year made good
money Tor all concerned, and that the
farmers reaped II rich reward, clearing
from SO to 800 an acre on stuff fur

factory? IL is up 10 the farmers to de.

Best Varieties Of Peaches.

Experiments by the Missouri agri-
cultural college with one hundred kinds
OF peachc trees for five years show that
the peach crop in Missouri could be
greatly increased by proper selection
of trees. Professor J. c. Whitten, who
has conducted the experiments says for
commercial orchards the best varieties
are Mountain Rose, Crawford, Elberta,
Family Favorite, and Salway. For
home use he recommends Connect,
lSouthern Early Thurber, Lewis, Car
men, Champion, Crosby and Gold Drop.
These varieties ripen in the order named
and are hardy enough TO fruit when
others fail.

a Now Era In Agriculture

Secretary Of the state board of agri-
culture, Geo. b. Ellis, thinks that the
close of the Worlds fair marks new
era in Missouri agriculture. "The ex-
ccllent showing made by the farmers
and st0ckmen Of the state" says he.
"will stimulate interest In our funda-
mental industry. The rising genera
tiOn OF young men will see that there
are successes to be won in agriculture
as well as other fields. believe the
effects arc already in evidence. Inever
saw so many young men earnestly be-
ginning the study Of agriculture as this
year. The enrolment OF the Missouri
agricultural college is just about twice
as large this year as last and letters |
have received indicate that scores of
farmers who have been at the work for
years are planning to enter the short
course which begins next January in
order that they may begin In the spring
with full stock Of new ideas. I feel
confident one OF the greatest benefits
to Missouri from the Exposition will be
manifest In the field Of agriculture. -

The Carnival OF Crime
From tile New York World.

From tile New York World
British thinkers have been deeply
impressed by the fact that there were
more lives lost by murder in three years
IN this country than TIE entire loss on
the British side in the Beer war. But
the reasons seem TO have escaped our
critics. Thus Sir Conan Doyle, through
tae Sunday World, say:
The law is loosely administered.
presume the trouble to bc that Judges
are not free as they are here; they are in
fueuced by political motives; there is
pull hither and thither and justice is
not administered.
Quite otherwise the facts. The prev
alence of murder is partly due to sur
viving frontier conditions, partly to
race feuds in thesouth, partly to the
admixture Of alien races by immigra-
tion.
But it Is not true that judges are
generally less free or more influenced
by political motives than in England.
In character and in ability the Ameri-
can bench ranks very high. The
trouble, so far AS it is in the courts and
not Inherent in the conditions we have
mcnll..cd, was frankly stated by
Andrew d. White TO the League for
Political Education on Saturday. IL is
tur 10 the facility Of yeXatious appeals
duo tU "lawyer.made law" and to de-
lays caused 10y the overcrowdipg Of
dccbets. In the words Of the great
charter, We neither 'sell' nor deny
justice. We do delay" it, which is
in effect Il denial OF justice.
a further obstacle to convictions for
murder mentioned by Mr.. White is the
prejudice against capitol punishment,
which has affected legislation in some
states and which in all the states ren.
ders it increasingly difficult to secure
conviction.

The Republican is gratiiied 10 be able
20 announce that w. NJ. Wade is to get
the position of bank examiner for south
west Missouri with its comfortable
salary Of 5000 year. The result is
all the more pleasing in view of the
fact that the place does not come 'r
him by default. There were thir
applicants for the position, some
whom are splendidly qualified and all
of whom are capable. One of the ap-
plicants was a gentleman who was
en- from Carthage to be placed in char
Of the Worlds fair bank at ST. Louis,
and had the united support of all lc
banks of ST. Louis for the appoiutmc &.
Mr.. Wade had the united support Of
the banks in this part Of the state, in
cluding all the banks of Springfield, 'he
support OF the leading politicians Of
southwest Missouri and the supp
many Of the county organizations, mt
the fact that he has been slated for the
appointment is high tribute TO the
fitness OF thcmau and the ability OF the
campaign made in his behalf. Mr.
Wade's qualifications are Of the his..'
es, order, ana the appointment
will cost the secretary Of state elect,
