The above table Is a true statement OF mort
gage foreclosures In the district court Of COffey
county, Kansas fORall OF 1891 and for January
term, 1892, in which judgment has been taken,
Sheriff's sales had and confirmed. The amount
under the head Of credits represent the proceeds
Of sales after paying costs and taxes; those In
the last column, the judgments left hanging over
the debtors after sale.
During 1891, hVe second mortgages, covering
446 acreS with judgments sggregatilg sS00.34,
were settled after foreclosure and before sale,
either by renewals or deciding the property TO
the judgment creditor. In the January term,
1892, three mortgages covering 2l3 acres, with
judgments Of 81, 4,OGO78 were, settled by renewals.
AS the results are virtually the same az those Of
sale, these figures are included in the table.
AppralBement was waived In all but Ave cases
so that at the time OF sale there was six months
interest usually at 10 per cent? due on the judg
mentS. The interest Is not taken into account
In the table and the balances are accordingly
lower than Is actually the case.
In quite number Of cases the second mort
gage has been foreclOsed and the land sold sub

LESTER G. HUBBARD.

In the last issue Of the Farmers
Voice the directors announce that
Lester @. Hubbard, it's founder and
well known editor, is no longer at the
helm. This fact was discovered by
the readers of that journal some three
weeks ago, by the absence brother
Hubbard's characteristic and forcible
manner Of defending the cause Of
"the great plain people" Of the coun-
try against the dangerous enCroach-
ments of organized greed, which he
fitly personifed as the triumphant
Plutocracy." These"great plain peo-
pie" whose support had been rallied
to the Farmers Voice by Lester @.
Hubbard, will doubtless feel his sb-
sence, as editor, as a personal loss to
themselves.
The farmers Voice Co. in their
announcement of the change speaks
a good word for their former editor,
aud promises that the policy of the
paper for the last four years shall not
be changed, and that new plans for
the improvement Of the paper will be
adopted from time to time, of which
we infer the new title page may be
taken as an "indication." We wish
the company much success in their
efforts to keep the to the front as a
leading reform paper, and if it sue
ceeds in developing editors the equal
Of Lester O. Hubbard, as earnest re-
formers, forcible writer's, and earnest
defenders Of the rights Of the people,
the company will be entitled to the
unqualified thanks of the people.
The needs Of the hour demand the
services of large number of such
editors as the ex-editor of the Farm

THE "NONCONFORMIsT' AND THE UNION
PRINTERS.

The following letter to the Ottawa
Journal explains itself. We heartily
congratulate the NonconformiSt upon
this satisfactory adjustment Of its diff
ficultieg. Any misfortune that might
befall that most excellent journal
would be nothing short Of calamity,
and every true reformer will rejoice
that the slight misunderstanding that
occurred between the proprietors and
the Union printers was Of temporary
duration. We believe it is a part Of
the duty Of reform papers to stand
firmly by organized labor, and we
never believed that the Nonconforns-
ist would intentionally trample upon
the rights Of the Union printers.
This letter conveys an assurance
that will be very gratifying to the
many friends Of the Vincent boys in
this and other states.

FROM CoFFEY COUNTY.

The following is an official report
of mortgage foreclosures in Cotfey
county, IN which judgment has been
taken and sherif's sales made and
confirmed. COffey county is one Of
the oldest and best counties in the
state, and If such results are possible
there what may be expected in those
counties further west and subsequent
ly settled?
It will be observed that upon judg-
ments of $83, ,29O.95, including those
for the month of January, 1892, the
amount realized from the sale Of the
mortgsged property fell short of the
payment Of the judgments by S5O,664-
80, thus leaving judgments Of that
amount hanging over the heads Of
people after robbing them of their
homes.

ter are official and certified by the

age still tell us that money is q meas
ure Of values. II any Of our readers
entertain this antiquated notion, all
they have to do in order to satisfy
themselves, is to take dollar and
try to measure the value Of any ar
ticle with the production and use Of
which they are not acquainted. They
will find that the only manner by
which they can measure value, is, by
an exerclse of their best judgment,
aided by all the knowledge they pos
sess. Instead Of defining money as a
measure Of value, it would be more
correct to define it as the language
by which we express our estimate Of
value. A declares that the horse is
worth one hundred dollars, while B
asserts that il is only worth fifty.
Both use the language Of money to
express their opinions. Money is not
a measure Of values, but the medium
by which values are distributed.

The Largest Flower Known.

In Mindinac, the farthest southeastern
island in the Philippine group, upon one
of its mountains, the volcanic Apo,
party of botanical and ethnographical
explorers found recently, at height of
$500 feet above the sea level, a colossal
flower. The discoverer, DIR. Alexander
Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his
eyes when he saw amid the low growing
bushes the immense buds of this flower
growing like gigantic cabbage heads.
But he was still more astonished when
he found specimen in full bloom, five
petaled flower nearly a yard in diameter.
as large as carriage wheel, in fact.
This enormous blossom was borne on a
sort of vine creeping on the ground.
The native who accompanied DR..
Schadenberg called it "bolo." The party
had no scale by which the weight of the
flower could be ascertained, but they
improvised swinging scale, using their
boxes and specimens as weights. Weigh
ing these when opportunity served, it was
found that single flower weighed over
twenty-five pounds. 1t was impossible
to transport the fresh flower, so the
travellers photographed it and dried a
number of its leaves by the heat of fire.

The Centenary of Coal Gas.


1t is just hundred years since VIII
liam Murdoch discovered that coal gas
might be used as an illuminant. In his
Cornish home he heated coal in an iron
kettle and applied light to the end of
an iron tube coming from the kettle.
How many people today have ever heard
the name of this William Murdoch?

use of steam, which has effected the
greatest peaceful revolution the world
has ever seen. Murdoch, with his ket-
tie, also made wonderful discovery,
the value of which it is impossible to
overestimate. Electricity as an illumi-
nant is now fast replacing its elder
brother, but it is quite young.
For sixty years and more gas has been
familiar friend, and its civilizing in
fuence has been enormous. Feeble as
its flame is compared with the brilliant
arc light, those few among us who re-
member the old wooden posts with their
sickly oil lamps that did duty in our
streets, and served only to make dark
ness visible, can testify to the gratitude
we ought to feel to the Cornishman.
Nothing has helped more to repress the
ruffianism in our streets than this light
ing up Of dark places. It has in every
sense been an enlightening power, and
it is not exactly to our credit that we
have forgotten the man who gave it us.

Flow W. Feed other nations.

The advance statement issued from
the treasury department of the exports
of domestic breadstuffs from the United
States for May, 1892, furnishes much in
teresting information. As compared
with May of last year, such exports have
increased to an astonishing degree, be-
ing valued at $109, ,956, 1884 in May, 1891,
and $272, ,476, ,093 in 1892.
Taking these two months, we find
that with the exception of barley the
exports of all the breadstuffs have grown
enormously. For instance, corn, S., ,072,-
O93, as against 81, ,431 1886; oats, $473, ,052,
as against $12,232; rye, $443, ,446, as
against nothing; wheat, $9,642, ,414, as
against &c. ,80S, and so on. Not less
interesting is it to notice which are our
leading ports of export for breadstuffs.
Of course New York takes the lead in
this, there having been shipped from
here breadstuffs to the value of $685.
$40. During the same time there were
exported from the following places
breadstuffs valued as follows: Balti-
more, $3,1O3 800; Philadelphia, 81, $685.
917; New Orleans, 81, 1,1S4,610; Boston,
$1,614,631; San Francisco, $S23, 1884; Du-
luth, $45S, ,27s; Newport News, Va,
1895, ,271, and Chicago, 1914, 4,974.
These shipments from Newport News
were undoubtedly to the countries south
of us, which, under reciprocity treaties,
are taking more of our breadstuffs than
formerly. But see how Duluth, "the
zenith city of the unsalted SEAS" looms
up as place of export for breadstuffs,
beating Chicago in this respect two to
one.--New York Mail and Express.

why People Lose Weight in Summer.

why People Lose Weight in Summer.
To most persons the summer season is
time of excitement instead of quiet
rest, as it should be. With the approach
of warm weather most people begin to
lay plans for vacations and enjoyments,
and in little while have worked them
selves into q state of excited anticipa-
J1on. Not only this, but they undertake
excursions reqnirino cnnsidarahla travel,
either by land or water, so that during
the heated term they have completely
departed from the quiet paths of life
trodden so steadily all the rest of the
year.
Now it is we'll known fac& that the
majority of people lose weight during
the summer. This loss is generally ac-
counted for by the smaller quantity of
food consumed during warm weather,
but we should say that the excitement
incidental to vacations and travelling
was as much responsible for it as the
other. 1t is question If our Indian
summer, the most charming season of
the year, would not make better vaca-
tion period for the majority of people,

A Wonderful Music Box.

An interesting arrangement of pneu-
matte mechanism for the production of
high class music has recently been ex-
hibited. The instrument has two and
one-fifth sets of reeds, the regular action
Of the air grooves being located above,
and on top of the board containing these
is row of small pneumatics correspond
ing in number to the keys Of the instru-
ment; underneath this board are four
rows of large pneumatics, one beneath
the other, and from an arm on each of
these pneumatics hangs a wire attached
to lever operating on the coupler but
tons on the pitmans or wooden rods
connecting the keys of the instrument
with the reed board valves.
By means of these levers, operated
by pneumatics, the movement of the
valves becomes automatic, subject to
the passage over the air board of perfo-
rated paper. A peculiar characteristic
of the motor which operates the music
roll, which distinguishes it from all
other appliances of the kind, is its
adaptability to running to the right to
wind music and the left to rewind, or
vice versa. When the instrument is in
operation the keyboard becomes thing
of life, keys dropping with the exact
rapidity required by the selection rem

through the following ''course Of

especially when it has been applied tt
one guilty of the third offense:
n The first time man is caught in the
act of stealing he is ''bastinadoed" (beat'
en- on the soles of the feet with an iron
rod) and made to sign paper declaring
that that will be his last offense. If he
forgets this when the soles of his feet
quit burning and tries it again, the sec.
ond offense calls for the amputation Of
his right hand. If he is still obdurate,
and goes at it left handed, the third and
