FARMERSPAY $10l,s61
Of Their Mortgage Indebted
ness in August.
BEATS AUGUST RECORD
In SedgWick County for the
Last Nine Years.

sedgwick county paid off in August
slO1 .ss1 of mortgages. This is at the rate
of a million and a quarter dollars year.
This remarkable debt payment is the
record for the month of August, no such
clearance having been made at this sea-
son since Sedgwick county quiet making
mortgages and began paying them.
Taking this as a basis for the year and
figuring the last month in the proportion
the month Of August in previous years
has held to the total years payments,
the coming year ought to see more than
a million and a half, perhaps two million,
dollars Of mortgages paid. There is more
wheat in the county than at any time
for the last eight years. There is more
Of every kind of farm products, hogs,
cattle, etc, and the farmers began the
year in better shape than at any time
for the past dozen years. 1t is not be-
yond probability that Sedgwick county 5
payment Of mortgage Indebtedness for
the year beginning June 1, 1900, will even
go beyond the two million dollar mark.
The amount of mortgages paid grows
each month and has for each Of the last
three years. and the amount Of new
mortgages filed grows less in a proper
ticnate ratio. With another good year Of
wheat crop Sedgwick county will be
practically free from debt More than
half the farm indebtedness contracted
since 1889 has been PAID in the last two
and a half years

FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE
Carried to Oklahoma Rock Island
Homeseekers Excursion.


The Rock Island railroad is proving to
and bringing Of good citizens to Kansas,
Nebraska and Oklahoma Already this
year the road has carried thousands Of
people into this part Of the United
States many Of whom have remained
here and made homes for themselves.
All this has been accomplished by the
homesekers' excursions, which are run
on the first anu third Tuesdays IN every
month.
To give some idea Of the immense
number of people who take advantage
of the low rate Of one fare plus 81, which
is made for these Homeseeker excursions,
it may be said that the Rock Island car
ried over 500 people into Kansas, Ne
braska and Oklahoma on the excursion
which was run last Tuesday. The ex-
cursion run previous to that carried over
700 people. The fact that the great Kio-
wa, Comanche and Apache Indian res
ervation lying along the Rock Island
road and comprising some two million
acres, viii be opened for settlement
soon. is influencing many to come west
and be ready for the grand rush for free
homes.
The people taking advantage Of these
excursions come from the east. notably
from Missouri. Illinois, Iowa and Mime
sofa. As a general class they are peo-
pie who having saved some money, take
advantage Of the low rates 10 visit new
places, and possibly find new homes.
These great waves of immigration are
unheralded and are so regular in their
movements, that the general public does
not realize the number Of people who are
almost daily coming from the east to
the west to find new homes, and increase
the population Of western cities with
steady and rapid growth

MISS VANDIVERTS SUCCESS
With the New Department at Fair

More than ordinary interest is being
taken in the new department at Fair

Miss Vanidvert viii meet those interested

posed work Yesterday. she said:
Contrary to a popular belief domestic
economy does not mean the preparation
of food, only, but in addition to this, in
cludes the chemistry of foods, sanitation,
the study Of the clean, wholesome, con-
ditions Of the home and its surroundings;
hygiene. the study of the proper care of
the body; sewing, plain sewing, garment
making. drafting and dressmaking; house
furnishing. from an artistic, economical
and sanitary standpoint; briefly, every
thing which pertains to the making of
home, in its best and fullest sense is in
cluded in the study of domestic economy.
Home making is a business. to be
studied as such. and the home-maker
must come to realize that upon her prac-
teal undertaking Of proper food, hygienic
clothing and sanitary conditions, depends
the clear, active brain and the strong
muscle of those TO whom she may min
lister
ITO make the work practical in its re-
suits, and far-reaching in it's influence,
courses Of domestic economy are being
introduced as recognized departments OF
college work in many Of the best educa-
tional institutions Of the land. The stu
dent receiving credit for this work as in
mathematics, economics or sciences. The
department Of domestic economy at Fair
mount gives opportunity for study along
this line Glasses are open TO anyone de-
sirous of the practical training possible in
a well equipped kitchen laboratory"

country was appalled, by that accident.
There is doubtless far greater loss of
life occurring every day, in various sec

excuse is" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms. These cases are
not the subjects of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice

Free Homes for Oklahoma

OENNIS FLYNN is now the big
= gest man in Oklahoma After
a six years incessant fight with op-
ponents of the bill in congress and
the knockers and crazy-headed Pops
at home, Flynn has come out tri-
umphant and passed the bill that
gives to the settlers in Oklahoma
their land free.
This result was accomplished by
the untiring zeal and interchangeable
labor of Flynn. Almost any other
man but Flynn would have given up
the fight long ago. But for him, to
start in on the fight meant no let-up
till his end was accomplished.
He had enough discouragements
to drive an ordinary man crazy.
Four years ago, when victory was
almost IN his grasp, the Pops of that
country, blind to their own interest,
jumped third rate preacher up out
of the brush somewhere and elected
him as delegate to congress over
Flynn, thus virtually stopping the
fight for two years. Two years ago
they saw their fatal mistake and re-
turned Mr.. Flynn.
The results are, they now have
free homes and nothing in that ter
ritory is good enough for Mr.. Flynn.
He can stay in Congress till state
hood is reached and then be the
first senator.
We delight to honor the hero who
does his country or his locality a
great service and surely Dennis
Flynn merits all praise from Okla
