CHEAP ENOUGH TO Buy.
Kansas Lands Arc Now Being Taken in BY
Eastern Companies.

Eastern Companies.
During the last few weeks more new
loan, trust and real estate companies have
been chartered by the secretary of state
than have been organized in Kansas
since the boom collapsed.
Last week big loan company, with
capital stock of $5,00O,O0O was organ
lied at Kansas City, Kan, and it was fol-
lowed few days later by the organiza-
ton of similar institution at Emporia,
which proposes to do business on a CAPT
tai of $15,000,000.
The men who are organizing these new
companies are men who are we'll &C
quainted in the state, and who have
personal knowledge of its resources.
Some of the incorporators are eastern
capitalists, who have satisfied themselves
that Kansas is not the worst state in the
union, but is rather one of the best, and
they are willing to risk their money in
Kansas loans.
These new companies will be more
conservative in their business than some
of their predecessors have been; but the
prospects are good that the man who is
compelled to borrow money and has good
security will be able to secure loan at a
much lower rate of interest than hereto
| FORE
In addition to loaning money these
new companies are preparing to buy IN
Kansas lands

last year, kept men in Pennsylvania,
New York, and another in New England
looking for and taking up ali the bar
gains in Kansas securities offered.

state can pick up many bargains in this
| way, and when man who has lost money
through Seward county loan offers a
mortgage on a Shawnee or Atchison
county farm for sale at per cent, it is
promptly purchased by a Kansas bargain
seeker, and one of these Kansas real es-
tate comp anies reaps the benefit

After Using the A. r. q. License in the
Campaign it is Returned.
When the American Railway union
held their picnic at the City park last
summer license fee of 81 was collected
from them for their refreshment stands.
1t was paid under protest, and when the
matter was called to the attention of the
council they ordered the money refund
ed.
When P. E. Cook, one of the members,
went to the city clerk and asked the re-
turn of the money, City Clerk McFad-
den told him that he had NJ money to re-
fund and a voucher would have to be
made and the money appropriated by the
council. Cook refused to make the
voucher and went away.
Nothing more was heard of the matter
until during the city campaign, when the
license WAS used against Clerk McFad-
den among the railroad men.
A day or two ago Charles Botham ap-
peared at the clerks office and made out
voucher for the return of the money
The license was surrendered, and on the
back was the following endorsement

1t Is Claimed That Constable Williams
Attached the Wrong Property.
Constable w. Fl. Williams of Justice
Ferry's court has been sued for $40O by
Eli UlamperL The case grows out of an
attachment. made by the constable this
week on the property of s. Williamson
on lower Kansas avenue on an execution
in favor of Mrs. Connolly for rent. Be-
fore proceeding with the attachment,
Constable Williams demanded an in
demnity bond to protect himself, which
was furnished. The property of Nathan
son which was attached included thirty
stoves, seventeen of which were gasoline
stoves. The remainder of the attach
ment was used on walnut dresser, an
oak dresser, a walnut wash stand and a
blocking glass IS by 40 inches. The
value of the goods taken was 1884 so.
Now Williamson claims the goods were
not his, but the property of Eli Ulamperl.
Ulamperl says SO, too. and has demanded
the return of the property to no avail.

property, or 1854 so in cash, Mr.. Ulam-

AUNT BErsY's TALK To UNCLE JACK.
BY "IK PICKLE"


Don't you remember the place, Jack,
Where the little log cabin stood,
Out on the hill near fathers house,
In a shady piece o wood
Where the little branch In summer
Flowed down the rocky hill,
And out across the clover fields
Till IL struck old Man nin's mill?
You know how we worked and saved
To keep things clean and neat;
We sold corn, aud hogs, and chickens,
And had lots of things to eat.
Yes. we worked and saved our money,
Till we bought better farm,
And built aud painted this big house
That keeps us snug and warm.
We've sent our boy Zeke to college,
To learn whater he can,
That he may never toll aud work like you
When he gets TO be man.
Yes, Jack, they must have learnin' now,
To travel the rocky road of life,
For the sunshine frien ds will all desert
When you meet thorns Of toll and strife
Folks didn't use to know so much,
And all we're happier then,
For they took the Bible as their guide,
And didn't worship sinful men.
Ther'll come time when people'll wish
They'd oftener knelt to pray,
Aud asked God to prepare their hearts
For the last great iudment day.

NO SILURIANS ON GRAND ISLAND.
Landowners There to Put Up $780,
600 for Reclamation.
This in Addition to the Heavy Expense
They Have Been to in
Past Years.

The residents of Grand Island know
they have the garden spot of California,
and are determined on sparing no ex-
pense to reclaim every foot OF that fertile
island.
At the meeting of the Board of Super
visors yesterday w. A. Gett, Jr., pre-
sented a petition from the Trustees of
Reclamation District No. 3 (Grand Island)
asking for the appointment of three Com
missioners of Assessment to assess land
in the district for S15O,0O0 for necessary
work to be performed in the district for
the next five years.
The petition states that since the last
report and statement of work done by
the Trustees OF the district, April Z, 1898,
they have had built and constructed for
the use of the district new and modern
pumping station at Ryde. a modern
clamsheIl steam dredger, a steam dredger,
a steam piledriver and new ditching
machine, which consists OF a Marion
Eteam shovel mounted on a barge.
Beside purchasing all this new and ex-
penslve machinery, the petition states,
the Trustees have nearly completed the
front sipe bitches at the back line on the
front land surveys of Grand Island and
at Ryde and the lower end OF the island,
as well as the necessary expenses for
wages of the crews on the ditcher and
dredger, coal supplies, etc.
OF the sum of $4,000, the amount of
the assessment OF 1893. all of it has been
expended except s., ,061 Il, which, the Pc
tltion states, will not be sufficient to pay
the actual and necessary expenses of the
district until April lst Of this year. The
petition also states that the works and
improvements heretofore constructed in
the district for reclamation purposes, ac-
cordlng to the various plans heretofore
adopted by The Trustees. and the works
and improvements contemplated in the
plans, which are yet to be done and con-
structed in accordance with such plans,
are altogether inadequate and insult
hclent to the complete reclamation Of the
lands within the district, and in the judg-
ment OF the Trustees additional works
and improvements and the increasing and
enlargement OF some of the works of the
district are necessary and required in or
der to effect the complete reclamation of
the lands in the district.
The petition also states that on Febru-
ary z, 1870, 1t was apparent to the Trus-
