GETTING OUT OF DEBT.
Mortgage Debt of Kansas Reduced S1O6sr
100000 in Seven Years.

Mortgage Debt of Kansas Reduced S1O1Sr
100000 in Seven Years.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 12.-The To-
peka Capital publishes an elaborate
statement of the reduction in mort
gage Indebtedness in Kansas during
the past seven years, showing a de-
crease of As per cent, or over S105, OOO,-
600 since January 1, 1890. The COM
parison is drawn between the figures
of the federal census of 1890 and re-
ports from the registers of deeds of SO
counties, showing the recorded mort
gage Indebtedness on January 1, 1897.
In 1890 these counties had a mortgage
indebtedness of sos, 15s, 631. and in 1897
on the same basis, S34, $50. 13S, or net
reduction in the seven years of S2S.-
53S, 493-over As per cent If the same
percentage holds good for the entire
state the total reduction for the seven
years amounts to S1O5, 96S, 39S. This re-
duction is very much greater if settle
ment by deed and foreclosure in the
western third of the state be consid-
cred.
Careful estimates of the same figures
show that only $40, 900, 600 of Kansas
mortgage debt is held by persons out
side the state. Of this, S-5, 200, 900 is
held by insurance companies doing
business in Kansas, and, therefore, but
S25, 900, OcO by individual foreign credit
ors, as compared with $50, OOO, 900 in 1890.
In 1890 the total mortgage debt of the
state On farms and lots was reported by
the census to be 70 per cent. of the
actual value of all taxed real estate.
Now it does not exceed Is per cent.
The statement shows that Kansas has
been diligently and successfully pay
ing out and is to-day probably freer of
debt than any other western state. 1t
could pay its present foreign obliga-
tions of S25, OOO 600 from the proceeds
of single crop.

IMPORTERS ARE ALARMED.

fastening to Get Their Goods Out of Bond
Before Tariff Legislation.
NEW YORK, March 15.-The total pay
ment on account of duties at the Gus
tom house Saturday amounted to ST.
4sS, 693.67, of which S1s27O, 500. IS was
paid on goods withdrawn from bond,
making one of the largest totals in the
history of the custom house. PAYMENTS
on sugar alone We're said to have
amounted to several hundred thousand
dollars. This anxiety on the part of
the refiners was caused by the fears
that the change from an ad valorem to
a specific duty would largely increase
the rate of duty on the sugar at pres
ent held in bonded warehouses.

a FAULTY MEASURE.

Defect in the Kansas City Elections Law
Which May Render 1t Void.
TOPEKA, Kan, March ia defect
has been discovered in the bill passed
by the legislature in reference to cleo
tons in cities of the second and third
class which may knock out the law
completely. The bill was introduced
in the senate and provided for the cleo
ton of a marshal, street commissions err
and city clerk by vote of the people.
It passed that body and was
messaged over to the house,
where it was amended as to
include city attorney, but the upper
house refused to concur. A conference
committee was appointed and the office
of city attorney was eliminated from
the body of the bill The title. how
ever, was not corrected, and still shows
that the city attorney is included.
