While at Vanderbilt last Friday
night we learned that from IA acres
Chas. Farrand expected to dig 1000
bushels of potatoes this fall, and that
Chas. Caryl was calculating on at
least 1900 bushels from his 20 acre
patch, while the Yuill Bros. thought
they ought to harvest fully 5000
bushels from their big fields. That's
the way to raise potatoes. Notwith
standing the gloomy and discouragine
outlook for the yield in the early part
OF the season. the Otsego county croI
promises now to be fully up to the av
erage, and a good one, all things con

Now in the distance he hears the
clatter of horses hoofS as they strike
the hard ground, and he knows the
chase is not yet ended. A mile further
he will be in position to intercept the
Indians if he can reach the place first.
On, on he rides, getting ready his

OF the grove. lie is in advance of the
whites and knows it. But his horse
shows signs of failing. If this should
happen all would be lost.
Still he urges him onward, and the
noble brute springs forward with ac-
celebrated speed, though Iaboring pain

On the other side of the grove u wo-

struck the horse of the white man and
the maddcned beast plunges forward,
stumbles and falls, bearing its rider
with it.
The Indians give loud yell of sat

the man, gesticulating wildly and
brandishing their knives in the air. At

he is going he can make it, but his
horse shows such dire distress he is
almost tempted to abandon him and
try to reach the cover on foot.
| just rs he decides to do this there
suddenly appears before him deep,
wide ravine or washout. 1t is twelve
feet across and twenty deep, with pur-
pendicular sides. Holding firmly his
reins, he drives the rowels of his spurs
deep into the ilanks of his horse. The
noble fellow has seen the barrier and
feels the tightening of the reins. The
punishment of the spur was hardly
necessary. The horse has taken on
the spirit of its rider and seems to COM
prehend the need of terrible exertion.
Gathering all its reserve force it takes
the awful leap. But its strength is un-
equal to the occasion. Its fore feet
barely reach the opposite bank and
hanging moment by its legs struggles
to climb over the sharp angle and then
drops to the bottom of the chasm.

Census Office Returns of the Totals in Kan

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The much
talked-about census of Kansas mort
cages has finally been completed
There are, or rather there were when
the facts were gathered, Kansas mort
cages to the amount of S235, 485, los
This includes both farms and city lots
every thing in the form of real estate
mortgages. The total assessed valua-
ton of real and personal property In
1890, not including the value Of railroad
property, which is placed at S57. $3.50, 2S3,
was $500, 593, I'll. 1t appears therefore,
that the mortgages on real estate
amount to within S55, 900, 900 OF the to-
tai assessment on real estate and per-
sonal property of the state. The state
ment is made at the census office that
the real comparison is not nearly so bad
at that. 1t is said that the assessment
does not represent one-third or one
fourth of the real valuation. and that
this true value is over $500, 900, 000 The
census officials think it is fair to say
that the land mortgage debt of Kansas
is about q per cent. OF the estIn deeu
true value of all taxed real estate. The
average amount of debt per mortgaged
acre is put at S6.65.
Mr.. Porter says that the largest debt
exists in the sections where there has
been an advance in improvements. He
considers that this favorable showing
for Kansas, which he says is the heav-
lest in debt of any state, is an encour-
aging indication of what this inquiry
will show relative to Indebtedness in
other states. There has been great
deal of discussion in regard to the mort
cages of Kansas. The Farmers ALI
ance agitation has given an Importance
to the question which makes it one OF
more than local interest. Below are
