EASTERN METHODS OF SAVING.


To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Allow me to ask your readers to examine
the following figures showing the success
Of cooperation In making loans aud saw
ing money in New England. The advant-
ages of this mutual association / can now
offer to all interested persons everywhere,
but especially in Kansas and Nebraska.
Our company has just made $4,000
loan In Topeka, and unlike most COM
panies has won the praise Of every one
who has examined 1t.
The Granite State Provident associa-
ton Is cooperative savings association,
chartered by special acts Of the legisla-
ture of the state of New Hampshire. Its
aim is to help all wishing to save money
regularly to get the full interest their
money earns, and also on a purely mu-
tual plan to loan money to those of It's
members who may desire to borrow
money on real estate security. Loans
are made on purely mutual plan, under
which each borrower shares In the
profits.
The association has done q large
business In all the following states dur
ing the last four years: Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Its charter compels it to do business
solely on the mutual plan but permits II
to borrow money on Its mortgages at
low rate In New England to loan out
again at higher rate and thus make
large profits for its members. In this
way the association has made for its
members, during the four years It has

Board of Agriculture, in Cooperation
With the United States Weather Bureau,
Central Office, Rooms ~ and 40, Knox
Building, .TOpeka-Bulletin For the Week
Ending, May l 4. 1892.
PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall is above the normal In all
counties, the fall for the week being
from two to four inches, and, for so large
rainfall, Is remarkably uniform over
the state. The heaviest. rain extends
from the southeast part Of Ford to the
central portions OF Stafford and King
man, in which area it Is upwards of four
inches. 1t is three inches and over in a
large portion Of the central counties.
Snow fell on Monday to depth Of two
inches in the northwestern counties, fol-
lowed by frost on Tuesday.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
There has been but very little sun
shine this week in any portion of the
state, while the temperature Is decidedly
below the normal.
RESULTS.
In all parts OF the state the ground Is
full of moisture, and the streams are full
Of water. In the southwest, west and
south of Barton, where the want Of rain
was being felt, the timely rains of this
week are proving very beneficial, and
the ground which has become more or
less cracked through the extended in
sufficiency, is now full OF moisture, while
cloudy weather prevents Its being baked.
The wheat is in splendid condition in
all counties except the north-central,
where the very wet and cloudy weather
of the past several weeks is proving too
much for it, and 1t is turning yellow at
the roots in spots; 1t is heading In the
southern counties, especially In Bar
ber, Harper and Sumner. Corn is being
cultivated in the Southern counties;
it is ready for cultivation In the central
when the ground will permit; 1t Is not
all planted yet IN the northern owing to
the extended wet spell. Grass and pas
lures are now in good condition In the
central and southern counties, but very
backward yet in the northern. The
blooming apple trees In all parts OF the
state promise an abundant crop Of that
fruit, but the peach trees still indicate q
shortage in their special line.
The frost Tuesday morning has ap-
parently effected but little damage. The
rains have done some damage by washing
out hillside fields and overflowing bot
toms.
REMARKS.
Bsrber-Weather conditions about per-
feet for everything; corn nearly all
planted; wheat and other grains growing
rapidly; strawberries turning red and
will be In market in q few days.
Cloud-Oats are making very good
growth; yellow developing in some of
the wheat fields; listed corn injured by
cold and wet.
Comanche-Abundant rains of past
week have again started the sod break
ing, and the acreage Of wheat the coming
season will be largely increased; Mon
day very cold, yet no damage.
Greeley y Farmers feel that this
thorough soaking of the ground insures
heavy crop of straw at least, and are
not uneasy about a good crop of wheat.

A RICH FIND.


HrRMoSuAo. Mex. Nov. 27.-There is
much excitement in the western part OF the
state of Sonora over the recent discovery OF
a gold mine of fabulous richness. The find
was brought about in remarkable manner,
the fortunate discoverer being Arthur
u'Corna. a merchant of Affair. this state.
About two weeks ago Mr.. torna bought
piece of quartz from an Indian which con
tained little over six pounds of pure gold.
A few days later the Indian appeared again
with another lot of rich gold-bearing quartz,
which he soil for 800. Mr.. Corna then
offered the indian $50 to show him where
the gold had been obtained. The offer was
accepted AMI the two went off to the hill,
and at a little way from the mine the lniian
toll Mr.. Corna whese to go and see the
gold for himself.
The Indian would not approach the mine.
because of the tradition that any one of the
native race showing mine TO Mexican
would die within few days. Mr. Corna
went where directed and found the rich
gold mine, which is named the Teedorena'
The mine shows evidenePs of having been
worked for centuries, and it is believed te
be one of the lost mines of the Aztecs
from which they obtained such wealth cen
turies ago.
Mr.. Corna will soon begin working the
property on an extensive scale.

CuArr.NooaA, Tenn, Nov. 2i.-The

bonds on which we raised the money, and
the work went on.
Now, it is proposed to issue the remain

bonds. the stock to be first preferred. VI
these bonds $500 600 have been taken by
stock and bondholders, and there remain:
5000 900 still out, but in hands that faroi

made, and the bonded liabilities paid In
this way.
The bonds were nearly all taken b,
stockholders themselves, SO there is no pos
sibility that no steps will be taken that vii
in any way injure the company. This Is
all there is in it. The company is all right
but has been carrying an excessive load OF
property it aimed to have cut up into farms
and sold, but the closeness OF the times anc
a desire to open their mines, for which d
railroad had to be built, have made money
matters somewhat hard with it. The com
pany has a large number of farms to put or

RANcAmeN KILLED ~ RANGERS.
They Were mistaken for Horse Thieves AM
Shot Down.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 27.--it has de-
veloped through the investigation held by
the coroner that the killing of two Mexi-
cans in Live Oak county last Monday BY
the state rangers was most unfortunate
tragedy. The Mexicans were supposed at
the time Of the killing to be horse thieves,
bu, they have since been identified as Juan
and Gabriel Longers, brothers, who were
prosperous and honest ranchmen. Their
horses were in the Lower Rio Grande Val
lev and they had been making prospect
ing tour through Live Oak and adjoining
counties, as is the custom in this country.
They spent the nights camping out.
They were in camp when they were come
upon by four scouts belonging to Capt.
Burke's company of Texas rangers. These
scouty had started out on Sunday III pur-
suit of two Mexicans who had stolen small
bunch of horses from a man near Realities.
The twain were followed to a ranch near
Beeyille, where the animals were sold.
The rangers then continued the pursuit
following the trail toward oakville. They
finally lost the trail, but about o'clock on
Monday night, on the San Diego road. near
Spring Creek, the rangers saw, about 80
wards from the road. fire, and on riding
out to it they saw t"n Mexicans lying near.
The rangers asked the men to prepare cof-
fee for them which was done.
Two of the rangers were left in camp
while the Others started in search of the
horses which the supposed thieves were
thought to be riding. While this search
was being conducted, one of the Mexicans
started away from the camp. He was shot
through the head. The other Mexican
reached for his rifle, but before he could
get the gun bullet from one of the
rangers revolvers crashed through his neck.
Both men were killed almost instantly.
A considerable amount of money was
found on the Mexicans' persons. and two
horses which they had were taken posses
sion of by the rangers. The tragedy has
created much excitement in the lower coun-
ties. The rangers have been arrested.

closes a curious case of "yoodoo" medical
practice, which has landed the practitioner
in Jail Clara Webb. a young colored
woman, was the victim. She was taken i'll
a fortnight ago. and after two days treat
ment by a regular physician, "yoodoo"
doctor. y. W. White, was called.
White is as black as coal and dresses like
minister. He told his patients friends
she was infected with reptiles, and to get
rid of them began cupping her head. Her
husband and father swear that White drew
forth ali sorts of reptiles, but there must
have been something else the matter with
Mrs webb, for she died.
The jury declared death due 10 lack of
proper medical attention, and White was
arrested "yoodoo" doctors are common
enough in the country districts Of the South.
but their appearance in the city is rather
rare, though this is the second case in
Charleston in a month. Investigation has
shown in some eases that these doctors
carry on their persons small snakes and
lizards, which are used to dupe patients.

Foulke's claim claim to the Theosophieai
Society to be recognized as Nine. bia'a'-

lunatic, whose self-conceit and vanity over

we told him that we declined his proposition,
and thought the whole matter had ended
