MORTGAGED KANSANS
The Census Office Gives Out
Additional Figures as to
Their Status.
Farm Lands Carry a Large
Part of the Burden OF
Indebtedness.
An Old Treaty Stands in the
Way Of a Great In

Work Of Importance Awaits
Blaine'S Return--Capital
Piek-Ups.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Supt. Porter,
of the census bureau, has made addi-
tional statistics as to farms, homes and
: mortgages in Kausas. According to the
results obtained direct by the agents of
the census office from the official records
of the municipalities and counties of the
state, it appears that recorded real eS-
tate mortgage debt of 1882, 699, $40, ex-
Guiding state and railroad land con-
tracts, was incurred in Kansas during
the ten years, 1S80-1889. a large por
ton of which has been paid.
Ofthis S343, 26S. 234, or 71.11 per cent
of the total incumbered 'acres." which
are almost entirely agricultural real
estate, and s130, 431, 400, or $3.50 per cent
incumbered ''lots," or village, city and
other real estate. The total number of
mortgages recorded during the ten
years was 620,049, or which 1852, or
67.03 per cent of the total, were on acres.
and 204. 427, or 32.97 per cent, were on
lots.
The existing debt of the state of Kan
sas Jan. l, 1890, secured by real estate
mortgage, except railroad land con-
tracts, as shown by this investigation,
aggregates 1926, 3S5, los. OF the total

it will be found that purchase money,
Improvements and business were the
inducements for mourning So per cent

county.
The proportion of debt incurred for
business purposes is very small, gener-
ally less than Or per cent. 1t is safe
to say that fully three-fourths of the
debt of Kansas was incurred for pur7
chase money and improvements. The
property in the state which, under its
constitution, is exempt from taxation,
aggregates S35, 1885. Mr.. Porter con-
cludes that the mortgage indebtedness
of the state is 1436 per cent of the true
valuation of all property in the state.

A CHANCE FOR BLAINE.
An Old Fogy Treaty Which Now
Impedes Progress.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. = The i'm
mense progress in shipbuilding indus
tries on the great lakes has brought
anew to the state department ques-
ton of diplomacy that affects the in
dustrial progress of this country and
our relations with Great Britain. The
navy department is restricted in the
places for building new vessels almost
entirely to the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. The restriction comes from the
treaty of 1877, which provides that the
United Sta ties and Great Britain shall
have but four armed vessels each on
the great lakes. and this is construed to
mean that neither country shall con-
struct other vessels on the northern
frontier, although the new vessels may
be intended for use in other territory
1t was this restriction that caused
Secretary Tracy recently to reject the
lowest bid for building the naval AGA
deny practice vessel. The shipyards
of the builders, w. f. Wheeler & Co..
have changed greatly in the great lakes
since the treaty of 1917 went into effect.
Immense progress has been made in
developing the resources of the lake
country. and in the building up of It's
mechanical industries. .Thele is scarce
ly a city on the lakes where such build
ing is not carried on successfully, and
from Buffalo TO Chicago and Duluth
there are dozen points were plants
like that of this Bay City firm either
now exist or could soon be established,
capable of constructing gunboats, tor
pedo boats, or even armed cruisers.
Besides. the great cities of the lakes
Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Toledo,
Cleveland and Buffalo-desire to have
their place in the proposed naval militia.
Each city wishes to have its own naval
reserves and to have them trained in
the uses of the best guns and in modern
naval tactics. But from any effort in
this direction they are debarred by the
treaty of 1917. When Secretary Blaine
returns to Washington he will find these
important questions confronting him.
Either party can withdraw from the
agreement by giving six months notice.

EFFECTS IN WALL PAPER.

The Tendency This Fall Is Toward
Richness and Luxury.
Never before were wall papers so
beautiful, artistic and expensive. The
best papers are distinguished by metal
lie or mica effects, whereas the least
expensive varieties, such as tints and
flats, are produced in soft. artistic
colors.
A parlor lately furnished has heavy
pressed paper. The ground is a rich old
ivory tint. over which runs in relief a
rocco design in shaded bronze, melting
into old pink and olive tints, and out
lined In dull gold.
The frieZe, which is of the same paper.
was decorated with rocco design to
harmonic with the wall paper, and is
eighteen inches deep and separated
from the wall by very artistic picture
mOlding in the gold and bronze tints OF
the paper. with scalloped edge of
carved gold blossoms. A cornice sep
arates the ceiling paper from the frieze,
which is tinted to match the various
colors of the paper. The ceiling is COW
cred with a heavy ivory pressed paper,
harmonIZing in style with that of the
walls, but not quite so heavy pattern.
uO CHCCb VI tllO WIlOlC QCCOI dltOH ID
a luxurious mingling of soft, rich tints,
producing a handsome and charming
effect, and carries out the idea now SO
much in favor for parlorS of cheerful
ness and gaiety, as opposed to the dark
colOrs that formerly used to prevail in
this apartment.
A dining room has been lately decor
ated with that beautiful material called
gobelin flax tapestry, the ground OF
which is dark tan color, on which were
printed immense punches of grapes and
leaves in soft greenish gray and olive
colors, while here and there peep out a
large. softly tinted rose and rose leaves.
The effect resembles embroidery and is
at once noble and attractive.
The ceiling is covered with buckram,
decorated in tints to harmonic with
the wall. No frieZe is used, but al
angle cornice fifteen inches wide sep
arates the ceiling from the side wall
with picture rod beneath, and both
cornice and frieZe are tinted with lines
of olive and terra-cotta pink. 1t is
hardly possible to describe the effect oil
this room. One feels as IL standing in
an arbor overrun with luxurious vines,
laden with luscious fruit, among which
a wild rose has become entangled. The
material is not so cheap as the ordinary
qualities of wall paper, but it is so ode
and handsome that it quite justifies it:
expense.

Cut in a Row.

Mrs. A. Hornberg, who lives in a
rather questionable house at PAT Eighth

the lamp away from her and struck her

who is supposed to be Mrs. HOrnberg's

with Tracy, and the two were arrested

HERE'S A BEAR STORY.
One Which Transpired Not in the
Sierra Nevadas, but in Massa-
ChsSPttG

CnuS6ttS.
Lyman Gallup. of Clarks burg, sixteen
years old, went to Stamford Pond last
week with party of comp anions for a
few days of camping. says the North
Adams Transcript. He was not long in
getting all he wanted of camp life, and
Thursday he babe adieu to the party and
started for home. Stamford Pond is a
very wild region, far from the nearest
settlement, and one of the party, more
familiar with the wildS than young Gal
lup, him through the forest
to point from which, it was thought, he
would have no dif1ic ulty in finding his
way home. Shortly after separating
Gallup lost his way and wondered for a
long distance through the mountain SOL
1tude, so deep it seemed as if it might
never before have been visited by man.
He had with him shotgun, also bas-
ket in which he had carried provisions
to the camp, As he hurried on through
the unbrOken forest, filled with alarm
lest night should Overtake HIM before
he should find his way to the settle
ment, his attention was attracted by a
black, shaggy animal, closely resemb-
bling Newfoundland dog. He knew
at once that it was a cub, and, level
ing his gun lie brought him down.
The cub was placed in the basket
and the homeward tramp was resumed,
young Gallup rejoicing over the proud
! trophy he was bringing from the wood.
Suddenly there was great commotion
i'll his rear. The thrashing of brush
and swapping of twigs convinced him
that the mother bear was on his track.
The situation was decidedly uncOm-
Portable. Gallup broke into run, and
tore down the mountains at a prlZe-win-
ming pace, but the tornado in the rear
drew nearer. The boy soon came to the
conclusion that the weight of the cub
was too much of handicap in this race
and the game was thrown into the
bushes. Very soon after the compo-
ton ceased, the old bear stopping as
soon as she reached her cub.

NO ONE WAS HURT.
The Indian Lands Were Taken
Without BIoodshed.

The Indian Lands Were Taken
Without Bloodshed.
GUTHRIE. Okla. Sept. 23.-The blood
shed that was looked for in connection
with. the opening of the lands yesterday
did not come. A couple of cowboys
told negro that he had better move
on, as they had killed a
couple of negroes already. The
frightened darby, fresh from Texas.
spread the story, ana it went down the
line that two men had been killed. A
dozen stories of the same nature occu-
pied the tongues of everybody.
Only few tenderfeet believed them.
The rush was not accompanied by
single killing.
The negro colonists were not very
successful in the rush. A few got
good claims, but in majority of cases
white man will contest the claim.
Three or four negroes were settled on
claim and will prove up forty acres
each, but the white men all want 100.
Last night was beautiful. Nature was
kind to thousands lying out of doors, Elm
but it was not ''quiet" dreams for
many. Water was scarce and hun
dreds had neglected TO carry even
a drink. The great nuisance, however,
was prairie ureS. All over the new
lands they were burning brightly, fill
ing the air with smoke of a peculiar
odor. Some of the fires were
started 10 drive men off the
claims. while others were started
by men hunting for section stones.
The stones were hard to find. Maj.
Weigel, the special agent of the interior
department, says many of the stones
have been dug up by INDIANS. The
county was surveyed seventeen years
ago against the wishes of tie Indians,
and the noble red man followed the sur
yeyors about and carefully removed the
stones.
A courier from Tecumseh states that
the site was proclaimed to open set
element at noon to-day by Gov. Steele.
Two hundred people rushed in and
claimed lots. There had been no dis
tur5ance when the courier left.
Gov. Steele immediately proceeded to
Chandler, the county seat of the upper
county, and arrived there this evening.
That town site will be opened to-mor-
row. Troops are guarding the size to
prevent intrusion.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 2S.-The
season of base ball in the Wisconsin
State league, which closed yesterday.
resulted in Marinette capturing the
pennant with percentage of 562. The
Appleton club, which seemed to have
cinch on first place about the middle
of the season, finishes in second place,
with Green Bay at her heels, and not a
club made less than 400 percentage.
The season has not been a profitabl
one, owing to the fact that the expenses
were greater than the receipts. This
the head of the list, as, in their eager
ness to win the flag, they spent money
very freely in getting good players.
