KANSAS MORTGAGES.


What Census superintendent Porter's FiguSes
show-T9tal Debt Of S235, 1851
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Census Of
fee has issued bulletin which gives the
mortgage indebtedness of the State of
Kansas by counties. The total assessed
valuation of real and personal property In
1890. not including the value of railroad
property. which is placed at S57. sec. 23S, was
500, $685. I'll. The estimated true value is
between eight and nine hundred millions.
1t is found that Kansas has q mortgage
debt of 1886, ,495, ,10S. which does not include
o State and railroad land contract debt
of S7,661. .71S. This debt is "a per cent. of the
estimated true value of all taxed real estate.

years ago. 1t is proposed to prepare q

WILL NEED OUR GRAIN.
Germany viii Have to Get Much Of Her Rye
and Grain from the United States.

Germany viii Have to Get Much Of Her Rye
and Grain from the United States.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 11.-Consul-general
the State Department that there is very
little pure wheaton bread eaten by the mid
die and lower classes in Germany. The
staff of life for the majority of Germans Is
black bread, consisting Of mixture OF rye
and an inferior quality Of wheat, and the
consum ption of this is enormous. In 1890
Germany imported 947.375 tons OF rye, OF
which S5 per cent, as we'll as 81 per cent. OF
the wheat imported into the country, came
from Russia. The late edict cuts Oft nearly
five-sixths of the entire foreign rye supply
to Germany. The deficit cannot be filled
from any known source in the old world.
The effect of the situation upon the rye
market is startling. One year ago rye was
selling in Berlin at $50 ton of 2, 22n pounds;
on Aug. 3 of this year the meager harvest
raised the market price to 1921 and within
twelve days the Russian edict raised 1T to
S6l.SS.
The end has not been reached yet. The
potato crop throughout nearly the whole of
Germany Is short and inferior, and the re-
suit of the late spring and the cold, wet.
cloudy summer, i 8 that the food question
has assumed an ominous aspect throughout
the country. A strong demand has been
made that the government shall suspend,
Professionally, the import duty on cereals;
but thus far the situation has not been re-
garded sufficiently serious to require such
a step. The only concession that has yet
been made is the reduction of the freight
tariff on cereals on all the state railways OF
Russia, which took effect OH the 1st of Sep
tember. and will facilitate the distribution
of grain throughout n largo portion of the
German empire. But il will not create q
single pound of bread stuffs beyond what
already exists, and the people of Germany,
like those of France and England, will
have to draw upon the granarIes OF the
United States for large part of their food
supplies during the coming year.

KlDNAPERS ARRESTED.
The Abductors of Millionaire Albertson and
Lawyer Bailey Captured at Seattle.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept 11.-Detective Sui
livan and his two de equities, yho kidnapped
VIM. Z. Bailey and r. b. Albertson yester-
day and drove to Black River Junction
with the intention of taking train for
Tacoma, were captured there last evening
on the arrival of the train at IL o'clock.
The capture was made by the chief of po-
lice of Seattle and q posse and the whole
party returned here shortly after midnight.
Sullivan had Pierce county warrant for
the arrest of Albertson. charging him with
having some knowledge of his cousins
whereabouts. The warrant, however, was
not Endorsed by the Kings county officials.
Sullivan and his men caught Aibertson and
Bailey as they were going home
to dinner. and one of the detectives
told Albertson he had warrant
for his arrest. Albertson demanded
to see the warrant. A deputy detective
said: Get in the hack and we will drive
to your office." Bailey and Albertson got
the two armed detectives held their pris
oners while the hack was driven rapidly
out OF the city. The prisoners were unable
to attract any attention until they were
some distance in the country. They finally
forced the door open, and passers-by at
tempted to rescue them. Bailey and AL
bertson say that Sullivan, who was out
side with the driver, drew q revolver and
made the rescuers turn back. The party
drove to Black River Junction, where the
driver rebelled. Sullivan then got out of
the hack with the prisoners to wait for the
train from Seattle. The train was two
hours late, and when it arrived the chief
OF police and posse arrested Sullivan and
the two deputies, who were brought here
and placed in Jail. Bailey was not wanted
by the detectives, but was taken because
he was In company with Albertson.
The kidnapping was the Outgrowth of
the disappearance from Tacoma of Cashier
Albertson of the Fidelity company about
two weeks ago. Albertson left a shortage
in his accounts amounting to about $4,000.

BOLD ATTEMPT At ROBBERY
Two DesperadOes "Hold Up" the Cashier
of all Efingham, ILL.,, Bank.
And Demand the Cash, but Are Foied and Only
Secure $200-Chased and Speedily Capt
ured by the Crowd on the Street

EFFINGHAM. Ill. Sept. 11.--This city was
the scene of bank robbery to-day at noon
that almost rivals the thrilling exploits of
tho Younger brothers. There was n SOL
dlers reunion, and while the street was
lined with people two desperadoes
stepped into the First National Bank, and
presenting revolvers at the head Of cashier
Joseph Partridge. demanded the cash. The
cashier started as though he was going to
comply with the demand. but hastily
stepped behind the safe door and yelled
for help. He was unarmed, ont was
brave enough to stand his ground, as
thus shielded from the robbers weapons
he knew he had them partly foiled at least.
At this unexpected turn of affairs one of
the robbers sprang over the private en-
trance. while the cashier was covered with
q revolver, and grabbing what money he
could. sprang out and the two escaped.
All this occurred In q few seconds, and
tho men were no sooner out the bank door
than the cashier made the people under
stand what was up, and q pursuit was
given. Hundreds of people started in pur-
suit before the robbers got out or sight.
but as they were armed they kept
their pursuers at bay with their drawn
weapons. At last they were completely
surrounded, and. seeing that escape was
impossible, threw up their hands and sur
rendered. They gave up just in time to
save their lives, as an armed body OF pur-
suers had arrived on the ground with
weapons Of sufficient range to bring the IN
drown. Theexcitement W as at fever heat and
had the robbers fired q single shot they
would have been promptly lynched. The
money secured by them, $780, was also re-
covered. it having been found in the coat
pocket of one of the men. The desperadoes
gave their names as William McGuire and
H. O'Neal. They are strangers here and a
nervy pair.
Had il not been for the bravery of the
cashier and the fortunate position of the
bank door they would have perhaps sue
ceeded in robbing bank with hundreds of
people passing to and fro in front of it.
The cashier had his revolver in q
drawer near by, but could not get
at it. At the time the robbers
entered he was busy engaged in casting up
some collections and did not know of their
presence until no looked up and saw the
muzzles of two revolvers confronting him.
The robbers took such positions at the bank
counter that they could cover the cashier
and still hide their weapons from the
crowd. The cashier was also favored by
the fact that the back entrance was
securely closed. thus preventing the escape
of the robbers in that way. The cashier,
Joseph Partridge. jr., is only twenty years
of age, and his bravery saved big robbery.

CONFEDERATE HOME CLOSED.
And the Question Of It's ReOpening Made an
Issue IN the Next Georgia Campaign.

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 1.-THE Georgia
Home for Confederate Soldiers has been
formally thrown into the field as the issue
upon which the next State election must
be fought. the trustees of the institution
held their regular meeting few days ago.
Several plans were suggested by which the
home might be supported and the doors
he opened for the admission of inmates.
All these were rejected, however, by the
adoption of motion that the building be
closed up. and that the confederates of the
State should be appealed to at the coming
election to say whether they wished to
abandon their poor and crippled comrades
or not. IL was reported from all parts of
the State that the people were up i'm arms
ct the action of the Alliance LEGISLATURE in
having rejected the home and they were
only awaiting a chance to relegate the
"traltorous ninety-four" 10 the rear. The
home was. therefore. closed, and the aues-
tion of its future now rests with the peo-
pie.
