MAY MORTGAGESPAIO
Amount to a Net Clearance of
$4,000.
EXCEEDS MAY LAST YEAR
By More Than Nineteen
Thousand Dollars.

The amount Of mortgage releases for the
month Of May in excess of the amount Of
new mortgages fled was $4,000 for the
city and county. This is very low COM
pared with the winter months and ap-
parently would indicate a backward move
ment in the boom of security redemp-
tons which set in here more than eighteen
months ago. But a comparison OF May
1899 with May, 1898, as per the figures
published in the Eagle, shows an increase
Of the net mortgage clearances for May
Just closed, over May year ago of nearly
$4,000 This does not show any back
ward movement, even though some Of
Wichita's promoters are now arguing that
this year viii be much less prosperous Tor
this section than last.
Some days ago the Eagle published some
figures being compiled by W. F. Green
of the Wichita Mil and Elevator company
regarding the amount of Old wheat on
hand now in Sedgwick county. These fig
ures at that time included only two town.
ships and furnished the basis for an esti-
mate that there are half a million bushels
of wheat in the county from last years
crop. Later estimates place the crop Of
last year yet on hand at 100000 bushes
and probably this will reach a million
which sold at the present price, would
pay off the farm Indebtedness Of the
county now existing against resident own
ers. And the debt paying is going right
along notwithstanding the bad weather.

THIRTY-NINE PERCENT
OF Wheat Crop Has Reen Flowed Up
IN Kansas


The state board of agriculture has is
sued a bulletin on crop conditions in Kan
sas. which is confirmed by numerous
farmers in Sedgwick county, based on re-
ports from correspondents N every neigh

given over to other crops, or left to the
weeds. The condition of the then remain
ing II per cent Of acreage was rated as
IS; the condition Of the 81 per cent now
standing shows a condition OF 80, or IS

The little 9 year old son Of Elijah Hor-

the Kansas Midland tracks just above
Eighteenth street, and as the engine came
