PROPERTY PAYS THE DEBT.

A Leavenworth dispatch to the
Topeka Capital is to the effect that
Judge Foster has rendered a decis-
ion in the United States circuit
court there, while virtually sitting
as chancellor in equity cases, that
practically renders null and void
certain portions of the Kansas
mortgage law. The decision is far
reaching and will affect many cases
in the state courts.
Two suits were brought before
him where the Northwestern Mutu-
al Life Insurance company was
plaintiff and had forcclosed on real
estate in Topeka. In the first case
the insurance company, which held
mortgage for $280O0 on the Keith
block, foreclosed aud bid il in for
$4,000. In the other mortgage
for 5000 was held on Sixth street
building and was bid in for 5000.
CONTINUATION WIS uShS'i va tbO
sales, which had been made on only
six months notice, and also judg-
ment by the plaintiffs for the re-
mainder of the mortgage. Judge
Foster confirmed the sales. but re-
fused to give an additional judg-
ment against the defendants, on the
ground that they were the only
bidders and that the property was
worth double the amount of the
mortgages when they were taken.
This decision sets aside that part
of the state law, 80 fur as the federal
courts are interested, which allows
an additional judgment against de-
PENDANTS when the mortgagees fail
to bid in property for the full
amount of the claim. 1t is said
that it will affect many cases and
may lead to new suits where FORE
closures have been made.

CHEAP CONSUMPTION CURE.

The Carthage Press tells the fol
lowing in regard to Mr.. W. B. Cross
man, of Joplin, who is an old gen.
tleman of robust, healthy appear
ance, now 60 years of age. In con-
versation with a representative oi
this paper recently he stated that
at the age of IS he had seen two
sisters and brother die of con.
sumption and was himself pro-
nounced incurable with the same
disease. AT this time he chanced
to read that thorough expansion
of the lungs would cure cousump-
ton and he determined to give IL a
fair trial. Although quite painful
at first he began a systematic ex-
pansion of his lungs by deep
breathing and throwing his shoul-
ders and head back and similar ex-
ercises, until he gradually found
that he was throwing off the dis
ease, and in one years time he had
his lung capacity and was
completely cured. Owing to his
treatment long continued he says
that he never has a cold in his
lungs or In his bronchial organs
and he desires very much that
everyone should know of his meth
cd of preventing and curing con-
sumption, so we tell II to the num-
erous readers of the Press.

Here is one of Bob Ingcrsoll's in
imi,able word pictures taken FROM
an address to old soldiers at Eilin-
wood, ILL.,: II do not know which is
better-life or death. And it may
be that death is the greatest gift
that ever came from natures open
hands; we do not know. There is
one thing of which | am certain,
and that il IL we could live forever
here we would care nothing for
each other. The fact that we must
die, the fact that the feast must end,
brings Our hearts together and
treads out the weeds between the
paths. And so it may be after all
love is little flower that grows on
the grave. So it may be that were
II not for death there would be no
love and without love all life would
be curse"
