A Mortgage Payable in Gold Filed ior
Record at Belleville, Illinois.

A mortgage for $4,000 with the
principal and interest payable in gold
at the option of the holder, has been
recently filed with County Recorder
Charles Becker at Belleville, st. Clair
county, Illinois. The instrument has
been the subject of much comment
among the real estate brokers, money
lenders and the lawyers of Belleviile
who draw up mortgages for their CHI
ents. 1t is an unheard of manner of
drawing a mortgage in st. Clair coun-
ty, with the interest and principal
payable in gold.
A well known Chicago lawyer VINO
was examining the records in the Re-
corder's office on Friday, said that IN
all his experience in loaning money on
Illinois lands he had never heard OF an
instrument being drawn like this gold
mortgage. The mortgage will run six
years from May IA, 1895. The holder
can use his own discretion in receiving
the interest which is payable semi
annually. He has the right to demand
that it be paid in gold. If paid in gold
the interest will be at the rate of 5R
per cent per year; if in paper or silver
money 6 per cent will be charged.
Both parties to the instrument are
men of prominence and are well
known outside of the limits of the
state of Illinois.

Conductor Johnson Dead.

U6dU.
Chas. T. Johnson, the oldest con-
ductor on the Wabash Railroad, is
dead. He was known by nearly every
railroader in the State and by myriads
of others. He was a good, honest
man and very popular. He and Jim
Finn, of this city, and Rube Acker, of
Moberly, who survive him, were
among the first laborers on the road.
They began on the road bed when it
started from st. Louis. Johnson ran
the first train on the Columbia Branch
and Jim Finn coupled it together. The
deceased was found dead sitting up in
a chair of one of the Columbia Branch
coaches. He died apparently from
heart disease. His home was in st.
Louis, where his remains we're taken
for interment. He vas quite old. The
deceased leaves a wife.
Referring to Mr.. Johnson's death
the Columbia Herald says: He had not
been well for some time until yester-
day when he said he was much better.
This morning he came out with his
train from Centralia as usual. He sat
down in a seat in the smoker com
planning of feeling badly and when
about a mile fromCentralia he handed
his ticket-punch to Charlie Parsons,
the brakeman, saying he did not be-
lieved he could go through he train
for tickets.
In a minute or two he was dead.
The train was Immediately taken back
to Centralia and his body was embalm-
ed there for removal to st. Louis
where his family reside.
Mr. Johnson was the first conductor
on the Wabash branch. Few men had
more friends or were more universally
respected. He was about 20 years of

"Ahsurd ThinUS"

The claim is made that If the price
of commodities diminishes, evidences
of indebtedness should, in like pro-
portion diminish. This proposition
would destroy all opportunities for in
vestment to an advantage and is alb
surd on the face of it. If a man should
borrow depending upon his success
this year for his ability to pay, and
next year he should not have SO good
luck, then the amount of his debt
should diminish in proportion to his
luck. 80 it appears that the claim is
equally absurd on the back of it.
