Kansas Loans.

There has been much truth and a
great deal Of falsehood sent abroad
about Kansas loans. The qualfca-
lions of this kind Of investments were
unduly Landed to begin with and when
the investors had falsely put their
trust in them and had been bitten by
irresponsible agents they abused the
character Of the Investments generally
in as Incorporate a manner. The
Wichita Eagle makes good point on
these esteemed directors as follows:
THE eastern purchasers Of real estate
mortgages are the greatest kickers on
earth, and Kansas is suffering far more
than her fair share of their wrath.
Judging from their actions and talk
there ought to be such a condition of
things that tie money loaner could
take no risk in buying first mortgages,
that they should be the elect of the
earth. There IL no commercial bust
meas, there are no transactions for
profit, that ARE not to "a degree specu
lative, aud the risk great or small in
proportion to the profit. The greatest
iinanciers Of the world bought the Sc.
curities Of the Argentine Republic and
again, poured their wealth into Austria.

in the days when the eastern mort,

were compelled to sell soon after ut q

does not seem half as uncomfortable Al

The Chicago papers are righteously
indignant at reports that separate
admission will be charged at each
building on the Worlds Fair grounds.
We were surprised to hear an Abilene
lite, usually well Informed on matters
generally, yesterday declaring that
such will be the rule. On the con-
trary the entrance fee Of so cents paid
at the gates admits the visitor not only
to every building in which there is an
exhibit on the Fair grounds, but to
every part Of every building. This
includes all the great buildings like the
Manufacturers building, the Foreign
building. the State buildings, the art
exhibits, Horticultural and horticultural
displays, etc. The only places where
an extra entrance fee will be charged
are the special shows or exhibitions
like the Esquimaux Village and those
on the Midway Plaisance, which have
never been regarded as part of the
Worlds Fair.

DO not be In hurry TO go to Chi
cago to attend the fair, j. X. Hudson.
editor of the Topeka Capital, who at
tended the opening telegraphed his
paper yesterday the following advice:
The White City, incomplete AS it is,
Is u magnificent spectacle, The unfn-
ished condition Of the grounds aud all
the buildings was surprise to most
visitors. While an extraordinary
amount OF labor has been performed to
prepare for the opening ceremonies,
and much credit is due the officers and
commissioners who have the work in
charge, the real truth Ia that the
grounds and the exhibit will not be
complete for month To the Kansas
people who wish to make q satisfactory
visit to the fair we would say cmphati
cally, DO not come until the first or
middle of June. Large numbers Of
hotels and rooming houses are not yet
flushed or ready for occupancy, and
the present high prices for rooms near
the grounds and in the city will no
doubt be modified by tho FIRST of June.
