fARMERS AND MORTGAGE SHARKS.

The farmers of Kansas have good
reason to feel desponoent.
They not only labor ulder the dis
advantage Of having bad crops, but
they owe 100000, 900 in mortgage
debts. The municipal debt of the
state is about the same, So at Z per
cent, the people of Kansas have to pay
S14o00,000 every year on their
debts.
Clearly, there must be some relief
or the mortage sharks viii swallow the
entire state. When men are crowded
to the wall they do not raa4ll4-fs Statutes
to stand n ttheiT way, aud in Kansas
there's q growing disposition on the
part of the farmers to de.ead their
homes at all hazards. The other day,
in Kingnau county, john Cassidy's
farm was sold under a mortgage tore,
closure, and Thomas Guthrie was pul
in as a tenant. Very soon Guthrie be-
gan to receive anonymous letters mott,
flying him that he was one OF "the
mortgage coHpany's dogs and would
have to move. lie paid no attention
to the matter, hut one night party Of
about 100 men called at the house With
wagons and moved the family and
their effects, despite protests, to their
old hon twenty miles distant. Cas-,
sidy was then put in possession Of his
former prem ises again.
Now, If this sort o. thing is to go on,
Kansas viii be PLUNGED into a
state Of anareby. Something must be
done to protect both the farmers and
the mortgage companies, without Civ
ing undue advantage to either. We
cannot afford in this country to have
the agricultural interests wrecked by
gang OF shylocks, and on the other
hand we cannot afford to have the
people taking up arms to resist
the laws and tie process Of the courts.
The farmers must have relief in
some shape.

A letter from Wilkes-Barre to 9
Philadelphia paper says Eva Ham
ilton seems a happy woman now
She is at her step-fathcr's home al
Dallas, Luzerne county. "Bill'
Steele, her step-father, is about &C
years old, but the neighbors say he
looks twenty years younger since
Eva came home. After the Atlantic
city assault on Mrs. Donnelly he
started to walk to the seaside. He
fell by the wayside before he had
gone far. When he made known his
mission man paid his fare to At.
lantic City, where he remained for
some time. When Eva was released
a month ago, Mr.. Steele went to
Jersey City and accompanied her to
Pittston. She remained there with
friend for day or two and then
went to Dallas, where she joined
the family. For many years Farm
er Steel eked out miserable ex-
istence on small patch of land he
called his farm. He had Que COW,
and the stable was an old, Yickety
affair, which let in the wind from all
sides. Since Eva came home, how
ever, things have changed wonder
fully. There is a new gate in front
of the house, and there is also new
stable. Instead of one COW there
are two. Eva has discarded fine
feathers and now dresses like all the
other women in the neighborhood.
Last week was the first time she
left home since she came from New
Jersey. She went to Scranton on a
shopping tour.
1t was eighteen years ago when
Eva left that part of the country.
For ten years nothing was heard of
her. Then one day man who was
acquainted with the family and
knew Eva very well, brought the
news that while travelling in Cali
fornia he had met her in company
with her husband. That was the
last heard OF her until the Atlantic
City incident. 1t is said to be her
intention to make her home per-
manently with her own people in
Dallas.

A CANE FOR MR.. HIBBARD.
Em rloyes OF the Short Line Present

Sioux City Journal Jan. 3.
When George ". Hibbard leaves
Sioux City and the Pacific Short
Line, few days from now, he will
carry with him handsome token
of the good will and wishes of the
force of employees who have worked
under him since he has been traffic
manager of that road. 1t is a beau
tiful cane, which was presented to
him yesterday. About the middle
of the afternoon, as he was sitting
at work in his private Office, the
force of clerks in his department.,
headed by j. E. Gallagher, his pri-
vate secretary, entered the room,
and when Mr.. Hibbard looked up in
surprise at the unexpected call, Mr..
Gallagher stepped forward and IN a
neat little speech presented an ele-
giant gold-headed cane, the gift of
the employees to the traffic depart
ment, including all the agents on
the line. Mr.. Gallagher spoke of
the high esteem in which the honors
held the gentleman who had been
their chief, but who was soon to
leave them. For the employees of
the road, he wished MIR. Hibbard all
success in his new position in the
south, and assured him of their
earnest regard.
Mr.. Hibbard was taken complete
ly by surprise, and was at loss for
q response But he recovered him
self and replied in feeling little
speech, assuring his friends of his
appreciation of their kindness, and
thanking them for the beautiful
present. A general handshaking
followed, and everybody agreed that
| in Mr.. Hibbard the road was losing
a splendid railroad man and per
feet gentleman.
The cane is very fine one, with
heavy gold head, which was Ell.
grsved handsomely. Below the ar

To be on the safe side our patrons
should have their deeds of real es.
tate recorded. Only the other day
a circumstance occurred in Northum-
berland Co which is evidence enough
to prove that land owners by neglect
of this important duty place them
selves in a position that they can
be forced to long and unpleasant
litigation. The circumstance was
as follows:
"An attorney of Milton while ex.
amining the title of a certain prop.
erty at Sunbury the county seat OF
said county, discovered that the
title so far as the records showed
was still in the name of the former
owner. Subsequently investigation
developed the fact that the deed
transferring the property to the
present owner was destroyed in the
| fire of 1880. AS the case now stands
the owner has no papers to show his
title to the property, and were il
| not for the fact that the origina
owner is still living and is willing tt
make another deed, the matter
would be seriously complicated.
Now the question suggests itself
